Ye Zhongming watched as the spirit woman imitated his shrug and stepped back, clearly indicating that since she wasn't needed, she would stay out of it.
Ye Zhongming waved his hand, and Xiao Min let out a whistle.
At this moment, the countdown of the roulette officially ended, and the most terrifying destruction thunder fell from the sky.
Simultaneously, Xiao Min placed her hand on the transparent light barrier of the Zhuangxiang Bagua Palace, while the other members of the red dress guard launched their attacks collectively, all converging on Xia Bai. As the leader, Xia Bai activated her abilities to the fullest, swinging her scythe forward.
The Youth Army had seen this move several times. The attack power after team enhancement was terrifying; even ninth-level life forms would flee in the face of such an assault.
One glance at the expression on the spirit woman's face revealed that this newly promoted ninth-level life indeed had a strong fear of such an attack.
However, many in the Youth Army felt that this time the attack seemed even more powerful.
Many recalled the earlier prompt about facing the thunder; did the sisters' use of potions have something to do with it?
Speaking of which, when Ye Zhongming responded to the spirit woman, he might have sounded a bit arrogant, but he indeed lacked confidence in facing the triple thunder.
He had encountered the regular thunder before, or even the one-point-five times amplification; to be honest, Cloud Summit could block it, and Ye Zhongming could block it himself.
But there would certainly be damage. If it were just him, he would at least have to deal with equipment damage and injuries.
The equipment was purple, and the injuries were severe.
Therefore, the idea that Ye Zhongming could be confident against the triple thunder was far-fetched.
However, such a situation had a premise: it meant tanking it. Since he couldn’t tank it, then he had to use methods.
Cloud Summit had plenty of methods.
Those potions were one of the methods.
It was a type of neutered berserk potion, the most valuable personal research achievement of Candy, the chief alchemist of Cloud Summit, up to this point.
Based on the formula for the berserk potion, after a series of experiments that drained a lot of money, Candy finally created a lightweight version of the berserk potion with minimal side effects. The enhancement for evolvers was only about half that of the original potion, but the side effects were reduced by two-thirds, which was quite an impressive feat.
However, this potion was still limited to being made only by Candy, and due to high material costs and success rates, it was classified as a high-end potion of Cloud Summit, available only to core members and the red dress guard.
After consuming it, the red dress guard collectively entered a state of mild berserk, including Xia Bai, whose strength saw a significant increase. The power of this collective enhancement was naturally terrifying.
That wasn't all; no one noticed that in addition to the lightweight berserk potion, Xia Bai also consumed something else.
It wasn't a potion, but rather… venom.
The venom was collected from the body of an eighth-level mutated sea creature, originally intended for Ye Zhongming by Xiao Peng as material. When Ye Zhongming was experimenting with it, Xia Bai watched from the side and gained a certain understanding of its toxicity.
Later, when Ye Zhongming found that he had no use for it, he stored it away in the warehouse, but Xia Bai took this venom out.
Because she had an idea.
Xia Bai's current evolution was peculiar, following both the normal human route and an abnormal path associated with mutated life forms.
However, one thing remained unchanged: the more severely injured she was, the stronger she became.
According to this theory, it was indeed possible to injure herself before a battle to maximize her damage output against the enemy.
But how could it be so easy?
Injuring herself would definitely impact her limb agility; otherwise, it wouldn't matter how strong her attack was if she couldn't unleash it.
