Just as those people were about to besiege Electric Flash, Lei Ming also rushed into the crowd! Lei Ming had enlightened the Earth Element’s power, and his hands turned into an earthy yellow color, each punch seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds. Every enemy touched by Lei Ming’s hands fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
"I didn’t expect the Earth Element’s power to be used this way!"
Seeing Lei Ming’s movements, Lin Beichen’s face lit up with an excited smile, secretly planning how he could use the Earth Element’s power.
Although Lin Beichen hadn’t enlightened the Earth Element yet, seeing Lei Ming’s technique made him have some ideas about its usage.
And in his eyes, since the Five Elements are the most basic elements, they naturally have corresponding effects. For example, the Wood Element represents vitality, so the Earth Element’s power should be strong defense.
"I didn’t expect Lei Ming to be able to use defensive power in combat, turning it into the strongest offensive force!"
Seeing Lei Ming’s approach excited Lin Beichen, as it seemed to open up a new path for him.
Although Earth Element’s power is strong in defense, if this defensive power is spread across the body or used to strengthen a specific body part like Lei Ming did, the empowered part could become the strongest offensive weapon.
The saying "the best defense is a good offense" could be understood this way, just like an indestructible shield that can not only withstand attacks but also be used to attack others.
"If I wrap my entire body with the Earth Element and push it using my Gold Element power, wouldn’t my body become a huge bulldozer?"
Lin Beichen thought to himself, and right then Electric Flash and Lei Ming finished the battle in the yard.
Seeing their actions, Lin Beichen nodded appreciatively and said to himself.
"Looks like there’s no chance for me to intervene."
Lin Beichen flipped over the wall, and Electric Flash and Lei Ming opened the door of the room in the yard and walked inside.
Just as Lin Beichen stepped inside, there were two muffled sounds from the room, and two figures flew out of the broken windows at great speed.
Lin Beichen instinctively caught the two figures, who were Electric Flash and Lei Ming. Blood streamed from their mouths, clearly having suffered a strong attack.
"There’s a powerful enemy in the room!"
Luckily, both had enlightened some elemental powers and adopted defensive stances upon being attacked. Since Lei Ming understood part of the Earth Element’s power, his injuries were less severe compared to Electric Flash who had enlightened the Wind Element.
Just as Lei Ming finished speaking, a burly man walked out of the room.
This man appeared to be over two meters tall, with a huge body and dark skin, looking like a black bear turned into a spirit.
However, this person wasn’t a so-called black bear gene-modified warrior, because Lin Beichen could tell that the man before him was much stronger than the black bear squad members he encountered earlier.
"Could it be that you, and the previous Flame, were injected with so-called god genes?"
Lin Beichen slightly furrowed his brows, staring at the black iron tower.
In his previous confrontation with Flame, Lin Beichen learned that Atlantis somehow obtained the ancient gods’ genes and injected them into the beast-modified warriors.
The beast-modified warriors were the mutants Lin Beichen first encountered. They withstood the beast gene modification, making their bodies much stronger than regular humans, giving Atlantis’s higher-ups greater confidence in their ability to withstand the god gene injections.
However, the crazy scientists did not anticipate that the beast genes would conflict with the god genes internally. Thus, Atlantis chose excellent candidates from death row inmates to be injected with the god-modified genes.
"I didn’t expect that worthless Flame to tell you so much!"
The black iron tower snorted coldly, filled with disdain for Flame. Evidently, the black iron tower was much stronger than Flame.
But what Lin Beichen cared about wasn’t just the man’s strength, but the powers he possessed.
It is said that understanding one’s enemy is key to victory, and attacking without knowing the opponent’s power would only disadvantage oneself.
"He... his body is very hard... and... can rebound the force used against us!"
Suddenly, Lei Ming’s fragmented speech came from beside. It turned out that when they first entered the room, they saw the black iron tower, who didn’t bother to hide his presence, appearing openly before Lei Ming and Electric Flash.
Lei Ming and Electric Flash attacked immediately, but to their surprise, the force they exerted on the black iron tower rebounded back to them, causing serious injuries.
"Is that your power?"
Lin Beichen looked surprised at the black iron tower, suspecting that his massive body was meant to endure more attacks.
"If you really want to know my power, go ahead and try it!"
As he spoke, the black iron tower stretched out his right hand, hooked his finger provocatively at Lin Beichen. Then he flexed his body, tensed all his muscles, preparing to withstand Lin Beichen’s attack.
"Then I’ll give it a try!"
Lin Beichen’s mouth curved into a smile. As he spoke, he warmed up his wrists and ankles, actions that made the black iron tower frown.
In the black iron tower’s eyes, Lin Beichen’s seemingly childish warm-up exercises were not taking him seriously. The black iron tower gathered his energy again, increasing the toughness of his muscles.
"To deal with you, one finger is enough!"
Lin Beichen suddenly extended his right index finger toward the black iron tower, his offhand remark stirred an urge in the black iron tower to take the initiative.
"Electric Element—Thrust!"
As the words fell, Lin Beichen charged at the black iron tower with incredible speed.
Lei Ming, resting on the side, showed a nervous expression. He had gathered Earth Element power in his fists to strike the opponent’s body, yet despite this, he couldn’t inflict any damage, instead suffered due to the rebounded force.
Seeing Lin Beichen charging at him with his index finger pointed, the black iron tower felt both angry and amused.
At this moment, the black iron tower could already envision Lin Beichen’s index finger snapping, and Lin Beichen himself clutching his hand, writhing on the ground in agony.
"Ah!"
In just a breath’s time, a scream reached everyone’s ears, and Lei Ming froze, unable to move, his shocked expression akin to seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
The scream indeed came, and the sight of someone writhing in pain did appear, but the protagonist had switched from Lin Beichen to the black iron tower.
How Lin Beichen did it was unknown, but his index finger had indeed, truly, penetrated into the black iron tower’s chest. The black iron tower clutched his chest, pain etched on his face, and sweat the size of soybeans trickled down his cheeks.
"Turns out your body’s defense isn’t as strong as you’ve shown!"
Speaking coldly, Lin Beichen snorted, and at that moment, Gale and Storm stepped out of the room.
"Did you do this?"
