Therefore, although Lao Tian has an individual S rating, he cannot be considered an S-level player.
In addition, there are some finer distinctions. For example, some superpowers are exceptionally powerful and practical, while some individual superpowers, although of a high level, are not practical. These distinctions can also have some impact on the overall rating (for example, the infamous useless quartet...).
Generally speaking, for combat-oriented ability users, their overall combat strength index should also be considered.
Basically, a powerhouse with overall strength reaching S-level can practically roam the world and stand above all worldly laws and regulations! As for the legendary X-level... it only exists in theory.
As for how strong S-rank really is... Chen Xiao once asked Lao Tian, and Lao Tian's answer was: In the top two organizations in the world, such as the Service Club and the Club, the highest-ranking "Hanafuda" in the organization is generally only A or B in terms of overall strength, and none of them have reached S-rank in terms of overall strength.
If an S-class powerhouse commits evil, he can easily stir up a bloodbath!
Imagine an S-rank powerhouse, which is equivalent to two S-rank individuals plus three A-rank individuals... To make a simple analogy, it's like two Lao Tians plus one Qiu Yun plus Zhu Rong and Gong Gong!!
If you calculate it this way, just imagining it is...
Chen Xiao's expression also changed! One S-level expert is already rarer than a dinosaur! Let alone two?
When Qiu Yun went berserk, he could blow up an entire warehouse! Now, two top-tier experts who are several levels stronger than Qiu Yun are fighting... what kind of scene will it be?
Tang Ying, standing nearby, then said something... "After boarding the ship, I couldn't find His Highness the Prince and the others. It seemed they had left in Mr. Li Wenjing's helicopter. I couldn't catch up with them, so I had to board another lifeboat... but I was unlucky. My lifeboat collided with a boat... Chen Xiaojun. Do you know who was on that boat I collided with?"
Chen Xiao shook his head.
Tang Ying's expression changed, seemingly still a little frightened: "It was... we encountered them on the ship. That guy with the big head who can control people's movements! At that time, they had a small yacht nearby! And when I saw them, I thought, 'Oh no, this is bad,' but unexpectedly, that big-headed guy didn't seem to want to attack me. He looked really ridiculous at that time. He seemed very afraid and terrified, bowing and scraping to someone on the ship, just like our butler was meeting His Highness the Prince. I even felt that the big-headed guy wanted to kneel down and kowtow. He looked so scared, as if he had done something wrong and was afraid of being scolded by that woman."
"That woman?" Chen Xiao asked.
Tang Ying's expression suddenly became somewhat dazed. After thinking for a moment, she sighed. With a genuine expression, she said, "Sigh...that woman, she's really beautiful!"
It's quite remarkable that such a beautiful young woman would express such heartfelt admiration when discussing another woman's appearance.
Then Tang Ying's tone changed again, becoming filled with fear: "That woman was standing by the boat, smiling... I've never seen a woman as beautiful as her in my entire life. I was a little surprised to see that big-headed guy so afraid of her. I thought, what's so scary about such a beautiful woman? But... soon I found out! That woman was a demon!"
Tang Ying shrank her neck.
"What's wrong?"
"She...she caused a storm! So many people died!"
Tang Ying's face turned pale instantly! Then, she recounted what had happened that day in fits and starts... "My lord... it's not that we were negligent, it's just that we didn't expect that person to be on the ship..." Big Head was so frightened that his whole body seemed to tremble.
Before him stood a woman who resembled a Norse goddess. Her face was radiant with a smile, but the more alluring her smile, the more terrified the large head before him seemed to become.
"Really? Someone's there? So you're backing down?" The woman glanced at the large head with a seductive look. Then she sighed softly, "You're afraid of that person on the ship, but not me?"
Big Head's expression froze, but he sighed inwardly: Heaven knows they would send a monster like you here. If I had known you would be my backup, I wouldn't have backed down... You guys are top-tier experts, if you're so capable, go and fight that woman on the ship one-on-one. What's the point of cursing me here...
Although he thought this, he didn't show it on his face. The woman, however, seemed to see right through him, and smiled slightly: "What? You think I wouldn't dare to fight that guy on the ship one-on-one?"
Upon hearing this, Big Head's expression changed drastically. He cursed himself inwardly, almost forgetting that the S-class powerhouse in front of him possessed many kinds of superpowers, and who knows if it included mind reading!
This woman was none other than the one who called herself "Sea Goddess." She ignored Big Head and walked up to Tang Ying.
Tang Ying was lamenting her bad luck, having stumbled upon these people's ship. She was no match for even one big head, let alone so many of them. However, Tang Ying, who had received rigorous training since childhood, still held tightly to her short sword, thinking that if all else failed, as a member of the Shangchen Itto-ryu school, she would rather die a violent death than suffer humiliation at the hands of her enemies!
When the sea god walked up to Tang Ying, Tang Ying looked at this beautiful woman standing in front of her, and her hand holding the short knife loosened slightly. The sea god smiled and said, "What a lovely girl."
Tang Ying could only understand about 70-80% of the strange-sounding English the other person spoke, but she understood when the other person complimented her. She couldn't help but say, "You, you're very pretty too."
"Hahahaha..." Poseidon chuckled a few times. Her laughter was so loud it seemed to shake her body, and she actually reached out and gently pinched Tang Ying's delicate cheek. For some reason, Tang Ying didn't flinch, nor did she feel any desire to resist; she simply let the other pinch her.
"Alright, since you're all afraid of that expert on the ship, it seems I'll have to go myself. Sigh... Luckily, the higher-ups sent me here, otherwise, you idiots would have really messed things up."
After saying that, the woman walked past Tang Ying and then jumped into the sea!
Her movements were as graceful as a swordfish, easily parting the water's surface and gliding in without even splashing a drop! Then, the woman emerged halfway from the water, looking like a mermaid from mythology. She smiled sweetly in the water and said, "You people, hurry up and get out of here, or you'll lose your lives! Oh, by the way, I really like this little girl, let her go."
As she spoke, she even smiled at Tang Ying: "Little sister, hurry up and go. It wouldn't be good for such a lovely girl like you to perish at sea."
"And then?" Chen Xiao frowned.
"Then... that big-headed guy actually gave me a small sampan and let me go." Tang Ying shuddered. "But before I could row far, I saw..."
As soon as Tang Ying was lowered into the small sampan, she saw the yacht with the large nose suddenly start its engine. Then, it sped away at top speed, seemingly in a state of panic.
While Tang Ying was still wondering, she saw that the woman had disappeared beneath the surface of the sea!
Beneath the surface of the sea, a faint line of water could be seen, just like a torpedo... but it was three times faster than a torpedo, speeding toward the sinking Victoria behind it!
The massive Victoria was sinking, its hull emitting intermittent, low, tearing sounds. Those were the final sounds from within the ship, caused by twisting and snapping steel reinforcements!
Around the sinking cruise ship, hundreds of lifeboats floated densely on the sea. Because of the large number of people and the panic, many lifeboats were not even staffed, and many of those who boarded them did not know how to row and remained in place.
This situation is actually very dangerous!
Because once the massive Victoria sinks, it will create a huge whirlpool! If the small lifeboats near the whirlpool cannot leave in time, they will easily be swept into the sea by the whirlpool!
Tang Ying watched as the "torpedo" beneath the sea surface darted rapidly to the edge of a group of lifeboats before finally stopping.
Then, in the distance, you could see the woman emerge from the sea and stand quietly on the surface!
Her feet seemed to be standing on the sea surface, treading on the waves. Combined with her natural beauty, she truly looked like a goddess emerging from the sea!
But what the goddess did next sent a chill down Tang Ying's spine, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!
The "Sea God" stood atop the waves, then suddenly and gently raised its hands. Like a dance, its delicate arms swayed softly, as if summoning something…
Then, the previously calm sea suddenly changed!
