'Who is this red-haired guy? Why is he here?'
'He looked a bit skinny for his age and looked hurt from the injuries that he was covering. He has long hair and untrimmed facial hairs and... he's not wearing any footwear,' Jin Chow thought to himself after scanning Liu Kai while he's growling in pain.
"What the heck are you doing? The giant cockroach is coming. We need to move now!" Liu Kai hurriedly tried to convince Jin Chow to run with him but it looks like he's not listening.
Liu Kai tried to free his hand from Jin Chow's grip but couldn't. He tried slamming Jin Chow's arm to hurt him, but he didn't budge. Jin Chow squeezed it tighter since he wanted to free himself. Then Liu Kai suddenly heard a voice in his head again but it was a different one.
[Health is reduced under 50%]
[Your Skill Berserk will now be: Activated]
A blue hologram-like-screen suddenly popped out in thin air in front of him. A lovely woman's voice kept ringing inside Liu Kai's head, saying things that he didn't understand.
"Who's that?" Liu Kai instinctively reacted to the voice he heard.
"Man, who are you talking to?"
'Is he crazy?' Jin Chow thought to himself.
Veins started bulging in Liu Kai's arm as he felt power surging inside his body.
"What's happening to me?" Liu Kai asked.
[Skill: Berserk (Passive)]
-This skill will activate when the User's health reaches below 50%. All stats will rise by 5 for every percentage reduced from this point.
The voice rang in his head as if to answer his question.
'He's getting stronger.'
"Is this your blessing?" Jin Chow asked him as Liu Kai tried to free his hand once more because of his newfound power.
However, Jin Chow didn't lose his grip and even squeezed Liu Kai's wrist tighter to show his dominance.
"AAHHCK!" Liu Kai growled from the pain.
[Health is reduced to 40%]
[50 total points are now added to all your stats.]
Liu Kai heard the messages in his head again. And after a few seconds, he didn't feel pain from Jin Chow's grip anymore. He looked up at him with blood-curdling eyes and instead of trying to remove his hand from his clutches, he slowly stood up to look at him directly on his eyes. He then grabbed Jin Chow's wrist and squeezed with his newly gained strength boosted from a skill the messages told him in his head.
'Huh!? The sclera in his eyes turned red.'
Seeing all this happen in front of him, Jin Chow instantly felt the pain from his now squeezed hand.
"AAAAAAAAHHHCCKK!! STOP!! I'M JUST PLAYING WITH YOU. LET GO!!" His voice was staggering as he begged for Liu Kai to stop.
"Oh, how the tables have turned my friend. I wish I could enjoy this moment longer but I'm in quite a hurry."
"I just want you to answer my questions honestly and I'll let this go. Is that clear?" Liu Kai lifted his hand to show him his wrist being squeezed and applied more pressure for an answer.
"AARGH! Okay! Okay! What is it!?" He asked quickly, wanting an early release.
His knees started to buckle as immense pain was felt from his hand and now to his whole arm. It's as if a hydraulic press was slowly crushing his wrist.
"That's more like it. Now, where are we?" Liu Kai asked with a grin as he placed his free hand on Jin Chow's shoulder. This caused Jin Chow to cave and fall to his knees.
"XENNOG! Okay, now let me go!" Jin Chow answered quickly.
"Be more specific. Where in the Xennog!?" Liu Kai continued his questions.
"I don't know!"
"What do you mean you don't know!?" Liu Kai asked and applied more pressure on his wrists.
"Ow! What!? You don't know? After The Great Catastrophe, all of the countries in the Xennog converged together. That's why no one knows where anywhere is," Jin Chow explained in one breath.
Upon hearing the explanation, he released his grip from shock and couldn't believe it.
"After The Great Catastrophe, all the countries merged into one. There's no distinction between each country anymore. Nobody cares about that right now..."
"...after a lot of people died in that catastrophe. Everyone was focused on surviving, be it individually or in small groups," Jin Chow continued his explanation after seeing Liu Kai's puzzled expression.
"You don't know about this? Where've you been? You look—"
"Then what happened to the other six domains?" Liu Kai cut him off, wanting to know more of what happened.
"Well… That would be a long sto—"
"KIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEECCCK!!" The gigantic cockroach screeched as soon as it appeared, surprising both of them from their conversation.
Liu Kai snapped out of his state of confusion and decided to deal with the vermin that appeared in front of him. But unlike before, he was still in his powered-up state.
He hasn't felt this kind of power before, unlike in their previous encounter.
Confident with his newfound skill, he walked right up to that foul, nasty insect and instinctively thought to himself.

Liu Kai felt a surge of power welling up inside him and directed it to his right arm as he poised himself.
He uppercut the cockroach and blasted it 30 meters above the ground from the impact.
