CHAPTER 408: 306, MADNESS

Eleven o’clock in the morning.

Under the gaze of the entire world.

The first joint exploration team formed by the Pioneer Alliance, totalling sixty people, appeared near the World Gate wearing uniforms of a unified style.

A group of over three hundred journalists from major media outlets around the world set up their long and short cameras aimed at the exploration team.

This is the first time Great Xia publicly revealed the mysterious World Gate.

So even several major media outlets from the Carmenia Federation submitted interview requests to the Pioneer Alliance.

It is certain that the Carmenians would definitely send in spies, attempting to uncover the secrets of the World Gate.

But the Great Xia People didn’t care at all and agreed to the application with a wave of their hand.

Anyway, the price for an interview journalist spot is as high as 1 million Xia Yuan, and if the Carmenians are willing to pay, the Great Xia People certainly wouldn’t push them out.

Yang Fan, in the guise of Mr. Ghost, hovered in mid-air.

He was surrounded by layers of ripples, appearing quite impressive.

A guest from the Iron Fist Civilization, Gaba Muda, stood on the ground in armor, frequently looking up to observe the flaming figure in mid-air, his metallic-colored eyes filled with amazement.

He could sense that the flames around the Great Xia Ghost contained terrifying power, like a volcano about to erupt wildly.

Compared to Mr. Ghost he encountered in the Black Sand Sea, the current Mr. Ghost’s power has simply increased by a level.

How could such a significant change occur in just a few days?

Gaba Muda felt both puzzled and shocked.

In fact.

The reason Yang Fan had undergone such a transformation is only one——a near ten-thousand-point surge of Life Elemental Power had finally evolved towards an Elemental Body.

His life level was elevated by a layer.

By combining the evolving Life Elemental Power with the Flame Superpower, the power of his superpower was similarly raised by a large step.

It wasn’t until now that Yang Fan understood why the "Superpower Secret Scripture" stated that no matter how talented the warrior, it could never withstand the knight.

To give an example.

If a warrior’s Strong Manifestation was considered as a type of "air," then a knight’s "Elemental Spirit" would be equivalent to "water."

The density of water far exceeds that of air, so the Elemental Spirit could easily crush the Strong Manifestation.

At this moment.

Under the gazes of numerous journalists, Yang Fan suddenly stopped floating and gazed at the garden greenery ahead.

This piece of greenery was directly above the World Gate and was usually maintained by dedicated personnel.

Even though the snow was cleared in the morning, due to heavy snowfall, the garden had accumulated a thick layer of snowflakes, and all the greenery was clad in silver, with only a little green visible.

A multitude of lenses were aimed at the garden, and this scene was broadcasted to the world via electromagnetic waves, seen by countless people.

Ten kilometers away.

Inside a hotel.

Anthony sat upright in front of the television, watching the screen without blinking.

He had invested his entire fortune in the stock of the Pioneer Alliance and was naturally highly attentive to this matter.

He even didn’t care much about the tasks assigned by the board of directors.

After all, earning money for the company is less important than earning money for oneself.

At this moment.

The host’s voice came from the television: "Ladies and gentlemen, what we’re seeing now is the World Gate Park.

"Because the World Gate is located right beneath the park, it was given this name."

Anthony wore a mocking expression: "The Great Xia People preach energy conservation and ensuring food production all day long, but didn’t expect they built such a vast piece of greenery near the World Gate, how much energy would this consume?"

He thought this "saying one thing and doing another" behavior of the Great Xia People was truly hypocritical.

Ever since he heard a Great Xia host joking about the "dynamite prize is going to ruin" last time, he suddenly developed a lot of distaste for Great Xia.

Especially this morning, when Anthony greeted the hotel front desk and saw firsthand how they warmly welcomed a Great Xia person, yet weren’t as enthusiastic toward him, he had no more fondness for Great Xia.

He couldn’t imagine, if many girls in his hometown Yilete, in the future, smiled at the Great Xia people like this receptionist, how terrible a situation that would be.

Therefore, the better Eastern Great Xia performed, the more unpleasant it was for him.

Human emotions are so subtle, good and bad exist in a single thought.

Two seconds later.

Anthony was embarrassed.

The host explained the reason for constructing the garden: "The underground World Gate naturally gathers a strong supernatural power.

"This makes the surface temperature around the area much higher than elsewhere, with nighttime temperatures reaching above 5 degrees.

"Therefore, maintaining this garden doesn’t require additional energy consumption, just choosing some green plants with slightly stronger cold resistance is enough.

"Conversely, by observing the changes in the greenery, one can grasp the changes in the supernatural field of the World Gate in the most direct way.

"If a large number of green plants wither or grow abnormally fast, it indicates that the supernatural field has become unstable."

Anthony felt a bit awkward.

A few seconds later.

The television shot changed.

It shifted from overlooking the garden to focusing on the Great Xia Ghost.

Only to see that the flames surrounding this Great Xia strongman were noticeably more intense than before.

The next second.

The Great Xia Ghost suddenly flicked his right hand.

Centered on him, a radius of a hundred meters spontaneously erupted in flames, which then surged like a tide rapidly towards the greenery ahead.

In an instant.

The tide of flames swept across the snow-covered area ahead, covering an area as large as ten soccer fields.
