Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 761 - 384: The Secret of the 5th Rank, Su Yu’s Choice!
Su Yu keenly sensed that the pressure wasn’t just from the emotions of the people, but also from the staircase itself.
This staircase could transform intangible emotions into a special kind of power.
This transformation reminded Su Yu of the time when the [King] fused with the Radiant Mecha, and with a single thought, emotional changes could alter gravity and air pressure.
Although this staircase didn’t reach that level, it had a hint of that essence.
"Looks like I came to the right place this time..."
Su Yu slowed his pace, carefully sensing the emotional pressure and the energy changes within the staircase, starting to calculate its principles in his mind.
In the main hall, the Ghost Emperor sensed Su Yu leisurely walking up the staircase as if strolling, and was somewhat speechless.
This staircase was meant as an initiation rite, assuming Su Yu would at least have some reaction, but Su Yu not only reacted, he even started studying it.
In fact, the staircase had accumulated millennia of imperial majesty from the Ghost Empire, already bearing a trace of Fifth Rank pressure, and when activated by the emotions of millions in the palace, it could vaguely alter the physical rules of reality.
Even a Fourth Rank powerhouse would feel immense pressure facing this staircase for the first time, finding it hard to even take a step.
But Su Yu, having faced a true Fifth Rank Radiant Mecha, found this staircase’s pressure, though strong, merely novel.
Finally, Su Yu unhurriedly completed the staircase, eventually arriving at the entrance of the great hall.
Then, he saw the Ghost Emperor sitting high on the throne!
Boom!
Their gazes met.
The intangible gazes clashed in midair, erupting with thunder and fire, a result of their formidable spiritual powers colliding, causing energy fluctuations.
"So this is the true form of the Ghost Emperor?"
Su Yu stared at the Ghost Emperor, discovering not much difference from the previous encounter with the avatar, only more majestic and imposing.
From the Ghost Emperor’s gaze, Su Yu sensed a terrifying power.
The battle between the two had already begun!
At the Fourth Rank, just exchanging glances could mobilize over fifty percent of one’s total power. If the opponent was too weak, mere gazes could kill!
This exchange of glances tested not only spiritual energy and power but also will, thought, and computational ability, among other deeper factors.
This was truly a case where a gaze could kill.
And Su Yu, meeting the lethal gaze of the Ghost Emperor, continued to step forward.
"..."
In the entire main hall, besides the Ghost Emperor, there were many others, all with powerful auras, presumably the "civil and military officials" of the Ghost Emperor’s court.
These people were at least Third Rank powerhouses, with even a few Fourth Rank among them.
They watched Su Yu oppose the Ghost Emperor with equal strength, expressions of shock appearing on their faces.
In their minds, on this planet, apart from Zhang Chenfeng, who died long ago, no one could compare to the Ghost Emperor.
Yet suddenly, out of nowhere, came Su Yu, seemingly capable of standing on par with the Ghost Emperor. How could they not be shocked?
Even the Ghost Emperor was slightly astonished, realizing that his millennia of accumulated spiritual will couldn’t suppress Su Yu!
Little did he know, Su Yu’s thoughts and spirit, having undergone multiple expansions, had far surpassed his original rank, possibly even exceeding his millennial accumulation!
Su Yu stepped into the center of the hall, glancing around at the surrounding "civil and military officials," then looked up at the Ghost Emperor and said, "Alright, stop staring, it’s useless."
Su Yu found the Ghost Emperor’s demeanor a bit displeasing.
This guy seemed to have a flair for theatrics.
Staring with lethal intent was a tactic suited for bullying the weak; it was futile against a peer opponent.
In his previous life-and-death battle with the [King], Su Yu never used such methods.
When the Ghost Emperor stared at Su Yu, it was either because he underestimated him, or he was so accustomed to showing off in front of his "civil and military officials."
Su Yu played along for a moment, but seeing the Ghost Emperor getting carried away with the staring, decided to mercilessly call him out.
"..."
The Ghost Emperor felt a hint of awkwardness at these words, yet maintained a dignified expression, remaining silent.
While he stayed silent, one of his subordinates couldn’t hold back: "How dare you be disrespectful to His Majesty?!"
Hearing this, Su Yu turned his head to see a Fourth Rank powerhouse, a burly giant standing over five meters tall.
The Ghost Emperor had ten Fourth Rank generals, and this giant was likely one of them.
At that moment, he glared fiercely at Su Yu, emanating brutal killing intent.
Su Yu, unfazed, glared back, and boom! Su Yu’s spiritual power met the general’s gaze.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The general staggered back several steps, each step leaving deep imprints, his face paling as if injured.
His legs even trembled, struggling to stand firm.
Such spiritual power confrontations, once at a disadvantage, resulted in complete suppression, making a comeback exceedingly difficult.
Observing this, Su Yu chuckled inwardly; this bullying tactic was indeed effective against actual weaklings.
This general, though powerful, was merely a weakling before Su Yu.
And seeing the general suffer a setback, the expressions of the other Fourth Rank powerhouses changed, their spiritual energies seemingly on the brink of erupting.
The other "civil and military officials" also subtly activated their abilities.
However, Su Yu withdrew his gaze, looking at the Ghost Emperor: "So, what now? Do you really wish to battle here? If so, your subordinates might all end up dead."
