Chapter 367 - 279: Five Times the Sun’s Surface Temperature, Ultimate Heat! (Part 2)
But from beginning to end, no one dared to step forward to help him, because no one wanted to court death at this moment.
Gradually, the man’s cheeks and arms visibly swelled, blood seeped from various parts, soaking his clothes and turning them blood red. Meanwhile, his skin and flesh were gradually bitten and devoured by the Red Fire Ants on him. In just five or six seconds, his body lost a layer of flesh, turning him into the likeness of the Giant Titan from "Attack Titan," and his eyes slowly became glazed until he finally collapsed to the ground with a thud, completely devoid of life signs.
At this point, only about ten seconds had passed since he stepped into the Red Fire Ants’ territory!
Just over ten seconds, and a living strong man was bitten to death by countless Red Fire Ants!
It’s hard to imagine what kind of horrific pain he suffered before he died.
Countless members of the opposing gang, seeing this brutal scene, couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
At this moment, the bald leader at the forefront was also pale and trembling in his eyes.
Never mind his subordinates, even he was afraid.
He was truly scared!
This way of dying... is simply inhumane and extremely cruel!
If he had to die like this, he’d rather be shot dead!
But as the leader of the gang, he had to stay clear-headed and rational.
The bald leader’s eyes were gloomy and cold, knowing that the best way to handle such a situation would be a fire attack. No carbon-based creature would not fear high-temperature fire roasting. Especially such a truly social animal, if you spray them with a flamethrower for five minutes straight, the ground might just be left with a pile of char.
However, now it’s too late for that.
Their gang members had already met a grisly end right in front of them. It shattered their confidence.
On the other hand, the Sloos Gang led by Rein was the complete opposite. Under Rein’s leadership, the once-defeated Sloos Gang had regained their confidence.
In terms of morale, they had already lost a large chunk!
Realizing this,
the bald man gritted his teeth and said coldly:
"We admit defeat! Go!"
"Did I ever say you could leave?"
A cold voice emanated from Rein’s mask.
Like a death knell, it turned into cold arrows piercing the bald leader’s heart.
The bald leader’s face instantaneously froze, then he shouted in anger, "Rein! What the hell do you want, do you want to wipe us out? Even a cornered rabbit will bite, aren’t you afraid of gang repercussion?!"
At this moment, Rein said nothing, only his pupils emitted a bright blue light.
This light instantly engulfed the bald leader’s consciousness.
The next moment, the once-cursing bald leader suddenly calmed down.
And in the surprised eyes of everyone, he submitted at Rein’s feet.
The others present looked at each other with astonished expressions.
Once again, this eerie submission... It seems since Rein descended on Utah, every gang leader inexplicably kneels and submits to Rein, voluntarily allowing annexation. This can no longer be called strange, it is completely a supernatural phenomenon.
Thus, this inexplicable gang war ended just as inexplicably.

Half a day later,
On the territory of the Sloos Gang.
In an empty room.
Thick smoke and a pungent odor pervaded.
In the smoke, a puddle of black liquid was bubbling, emitting a "gurgling" sound, looking extremely lethal.
A sturdy man was sitting naked in the liquid, enduring its fiery heat.
This man was the famous Rein from the recent gang world, also the god in the extreme sports field—Wang Ye.
Wang Ye spent several hours absorbing the Piranha Solution made from over ten tons of high-concentration sulfuric acid in the entire bathtub. After completing the immersion, his cells released energy to begin healing his injuries, while the burns on his body emitted a "sizzling" sound, and the damaged rotting flesh visibly healed.
Once all his injuries healed, he stood up from the bathtub. His body still retained the pungent smell, and if someone accidentally touched his skin at that moment, they might get burned directly.
"The training effect is getting worse..." Wang Ye sighed in disappointment, walking to the shower next to him, pouring the pre-prepared acid wash on himself, and using the water sprayed from the shower to scrub off the remaining chemicals on his body.
This bathtub was already a custom-made extra-large capacity bathtub, larger than a small car, capable of holding ten to twenty tons of liquid, but still not effective for Body Refining. Whenever his injuries progressed halfway, the Piranha Solution would evaporate completely, losing its Body Refining effect, which frustrated him greatly,
Ever since discovering this method of Body Refining using concentrated sulfuric acid, his physical strength had been rapidly increasing, from initially only withstanding the strength of one or two tons of concentrated sulfuric acid, to now nearly ten tons causing only mild injury. The downside of rapidly increasing physical strength is that Body Refining becomes increasingly difficult. The once effective concentrated sulfuric acid Body Refining gradually loses its effect over time.
For now, he couldn’t think of a better Body Refining method and could only continue to increase the amount of concentrated sulfuric acid, resulting in longer training sessions and higher costs. Currently, a session of concentrated sulfuric acid Body Refining requires more than three hours and costs over twenty thousand USD. Continuing like this, expenses might skyrocket, and eventually, the training effect might drop rapidly until it completely loses effect.
Wang Ye’s eyes slightly lowered, his pupils flickering with light. Before the concentrated sulfuric acid completely loses its Body Refining effect, he must find a better method to refine his body. He couldn’t accept such slow progress. After half a year of evolution, growing stronger daily had become a part of his daily life. Whenever he noticed his strength improvement stagnating, he couldn’t help but panic.
"Furnace, electric shock, Nuclear Fusion, molten iron bath..." Wang Ye whispered to himself, having simulated various ideas in his mind, but ultimately, the results were either too costly to bear or too low in damage to have any Body Refining effect on him.
Currently, aside from concentrated sulfuric acid, the only somewhat feasible option is welding.
Although a welding torch is a common tool on construction sites, its instant explosive temperature is actually terrifying.
During welding, the flame temperature from the tip of a welding torch usually ranges from three thousand to six thousand degrees Celsius, while some special welding applications, like plasma welding or extreme arc welding bundles, have temperatures even higher than natural lightning, reaching up to twenty-eight thousand degrees. That’s five times higher than the Sun’s surface temperature. For ordinary people, even a spark touching the skin during welding can cause burns and skin diseases.
This instant extreme high temperature could definitely cause significant harm to Wang Ye. Therefore, Wang Ye plans to buy a plasma welding machine in his spare time and attempt to use this tool for Body Refining.
After returning to China, Wang Ye also plans to commission Li Weimin to build him a private research institute. This way, he could perform many experiments in a professional laboratory to understand himself better, and find more efficient Body Refining methods more quickly.
