All those outside the generator heaved a sigh of relief once more at the sight of the living Chen Gu. Then, several laughing researchers ca forward to undo Chen Gu’s restraints, but Dr. ng Ji stopped them with a hand, saying, "Wait, I need to conduct a pollution check."
Aviloya nodded. "That’s right, it’s a necessary procedure."
But during the check that followed, Chen Gu vaguely sensed that sothing was amiss. After Dr. ng Ji took over personally, not only was the inspection more ticulous than before, but he also brought out many new devices that Chen Gu had never seen before.
Chen Gu asked, "Did you detect an Endless Realm invasion? What kind of entity ca this ti?"
Dr. ng Ji concentrated on the inspection, while Aviloya, standing to the side, replied, "What do you feel?"
Chen Gu frowned. "It’s vague to . From the beginning of the advancent ceremony, I fell into a state of life-force depletion..."
After his brief description, Aviloya glanced at him and said, "The invader detected this ti was just a demon shape."
Then she stated bluntly, "This is highly illogical. You know, you’re at the Fifth Energy Level now; there should have been at least one anomaly. And every ti you’ve advanced in the past, a high-level being from the Endless Realm has appeared."
Chen Gu also found this odd. During his advancent, he’d sensed that the entity should have been of an Evil God’s caliber, against which the headmaster and Aviloya would probably stand no chance.
Why did the external equipnt only detect a minuscule demon shape?
Could it be because he was too weak at the ti? Did the contrast lead to a deviation in his perception, making him feel the demon shape was also very powerful?
Chen Gu, however, always felt it couldn’t be that simple.
He cooperated honestly with Dr. ng Ji’s inspection. Dr. ng Ji himself began to wonder if he was overthinking things when he saw the reading: "Spiritual purity at 97.88%!"
Usually, upon reaching the Fifth Energy Level, especially just after advancing, maintaining spiritual purity above 80% is already quite good, he mused. This kid is practically flawless white jade!
Chen Gu glared at him fiercely. "You’re a doctor, for goodness’ sake! Can’t you learn a bit of literary rhetoric? Is that a term to describe a man?"
Rainbow, laughing from the side, ca forward to unlock Chen Gu’s safety clasps. As she led him out, she asked, "So, you’re at the Fifth Energy Level. How does it feel?"
Chen Gu gave a bitter smile and pointed to her and Aviloya. "At this energy level, I can more clearly sense the vast gap between you and ."
Chen Gu wasn’t speaking nonsense. The mont the generator’s doors opened, establishing a connection with the external environnt, he imdiately felt an invisible energy-level suppression exuding from the two powerful won. This wasn’t pressure deliberately released by Aviloya and Rainbow; it was a natural suppression due to their difference in energy levels. Previously, when Chen Gu was with the two won, he couldn’t feel this kind of pressure.
Back then, his strength was such that he couldn’t even perceive how powerful the two won truly were, a bit like "ignorance is bliss." Now that he could see clearly, he understood reverence.
Aviloya turned and walked away, saying, "I’m giving you five days of leave to adapt to the new power you’ve acquired. Then... co back to work. Our plan against the Digital Group must proceed."
What this ant was: he could go out and enjoy himself for five days, then he had to return and continue toiling like an ox and horse for the Bureau Chief.
Chen Gu did indeed need this vacation, but he didn’t go ho to rest. Instead, he went to the Great Red Stone Power Plant, sitting cross-legged next to the reactor every day, quietly contemplating.
This advancent to the Fifth Energy Level had awakened a new professional skill in him:
Heavy Nuclear Armor
This was a skill awakened at the Fifth Energy Level by both Radiation Missionaries and Nuclear Explosion Nuns. It involved stimulating one’s biological nuclear energy to form a strong energy armor on the body’s surface, a principle roughly similar to that of a nuclear-powered energy generator.
However, Chen Gu found his Heavy Nuclear Armor to be sowhat different from the usual. Perhaps due to ng Moshi’s influence, his Heavy Nuclear Armor combined with his Multistate Special Agent abilities, resulting in the Heavy Nuclear Armor skill having multiple "states."
Besides the normal "armor state," he could also transform Heavy Nuclear Armor into a uniform layer that clung to his body like a special type of "skin."
Chen Gu called this the "Radiation Battle Suit." Compared to the basic state of Heavy Nuclear Armor, this form was highly covert. Its defense power decreased by thirty percent, but it was transparent and undetectable, making it better suited for secret missions.
Additionally, the armor could be transford into an almost "gaseous" state, enveloping him in a ten-ter radius.
In this state, the defensive power weakened gradually from the inside out, depending on the distance. At the outermost layer—about ten ters from his body—the defensive power was only about fifteen percent of Heavy Nuclear Armor’s full capability. Closest to Chen Gu, the defensive power was about sixty percent.
Chen Gu called this state the "Doomsday Shelter." It was like a bunker in a nuclear apocalypse, capable of providing a safe haven for those around him.
The switching between the three states required exquisite control at the professional skill level. Even though Chen Gu already understood the differences and principles behind them, he found it difficult to execute them perfectly yet.
