CHAPTER 114: CHAPTER 114: COUNTERATTACK_1

All thanks to an anonymous elixir.

Wang Zhan, now possessing strength and mental energy immeasurably greater than before, instantly saw his opponent’s seemingly ordinary yet unnatural nose.

Their fate was singular: death. So why not die now? With this thought, he didn’t pause. After crushing the man’s hand, he dragged him to his side and gave him a light slap.

CRACK! With that sound, Wang Zhan shattered all the man’s bones. He collapsed like a heap of boneless flesh, blood foaming from his mouth, dying with his eyes wide open.

’Power +34’

’Agility +28’

’Physique +30’

The System’s long-awaited prompt once again appeared before Wang Zhan.

He calls you trash and you still don’t believe it. Despite his current, seemingly overwhelming power, Wang Zhan still preferred the attribute points from the System. Only those were real; external power was just that—external, an ephemeral castle in the air. The System, however, faithfully recorded Wang Zhan’s true, unembellished strength.

"Now, it’s your turn."

A strange feeling was mixed in. Why was he sweeping trash off the streets for humanity?

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Wang Zhan quietly turned to look at Yuan Shisan, who had already moved away and was about to flee.

That single palm strike hadn’t affected Wang Zhan in the slightest, yet he had lost a Martial General! What kind of monster had Wang Zhan become? If he were to spread this news, even if all these Martial Generals died, the higher-ups would surely credit him with a great meritorious service, right?

Therefore, Yuan Shisan didn’t stop at all, merely lowering his head and running, just like Wang Zhan had earlier.

"Wang Zhan, you dare kill someone from the original organization! Just wait for the original organization’s revenge!" he snarled, then immediately fled into the Death Forest. Afterwards, a dazzling flare once again soared into the sky, signaling those Martial Generals not to come and throw their lives away.

However, Wang Zhan paid it no mind, merely glancing at Yao Yao before asking, "My time is short. Yuan Shisan must die. Are you coming with me?"

For the first time, Yao Yao proactively took Wang Zhan’s hand. Her soft little hand felt like a warm home.

"Okay, I’ll accompany you!"

Wang Zhan smiled heartily and, taking Yao Yao with him, immediately pursued Yuan Shisan.

With such a magical aid, even if only temporary and certain to have severe complications, it could let him cross several levels to kill enemies and gain a large number of extreme attribute points. As long as he killed a few more, he could fully advance to a Level 3 Warrior. How could he let this opportunity slip from his grasp?

Moreover, not even Li Chengyuan knew that as Wang Zhan’s realm had suddenly surged, his mental energy had undergone a miraculous change, akin to an instinct, or a Talent. In other words, wherever Yuan Shisan had been, Wang Zhan would be able to follow.

「Back at the original spot.」

Li Chengyuan quietly poked his head out, his eyes glimmering.

This kid, taking the Blood Essence Pill for the first time, actually achieved a control rate of over fifty percent, and his intuition seems to have become even stronger. Hmm, when we get back, I must have those old guys recruit him into the army. Keeping him in the Martial Arts Academy is simply a waste of time...

「On one side of the Death Forest.」

"Yuan Shijiu, Wang Zhan, just you wait! As long as I don’t die this time, your good days are over!"

With sinister thoughts, Yuan Shisan scurried through the Death Forest, deliberately choosing places where beasts gathered, trying to use them to block Wang Zhan and Yao Yao’s pursuit. Although the current Wang Zhan seemed terrifying, Yuan Shisan could see at a glance that it wasn’t Wang Zhan’s own power. Since it wasn’t his, there must be a time limit; what is borrowed must be returned. Just like how, because of Yuan Shijiu’s affair, he himself had been stripped of the authority to establish an experimental base for the original organization by the figures pulling strings behind the scenes. He was then sent to the experimental table. Although this allowed him to quickly gain the strength of a Martial General, he still felt a lingering fear even when thinking about those ordinary ’goods from the Northwest’. The pain and torment were simply unbearable for ordinary people. If it weren’t for his serial number, he wouldn’t even have had this chance; he would have only been a tool, dissected to check the latest results of gene chain modification. But Wang Zhan had caught up!

A man in black had appeared at some unknown time behind Yuan Shisan, his aura surging wildly, prepared for a mutually destructive attack.

"My lord, go quickly! I’ll hold him back!"

The Martial Generals dispatched by the original organization this time were all of the fiercely loyal type; desertion in the face of battle was out of the question for them. This was especially true given that Yuan Shisan carried a portion of the original organization’s experimental results.

Though fury blazed in Yuan Shisan’s eyes, he didn’t stop at all, solely focused on escaping. Wang Zhan, who appeared Xu Xu, as relaxed as if on a Ta Qing outing, chuckled.

"Where can you run? Since you’re trash, why don’t I help you return to the trash heap where you belong? Otherwise, being so detestable to everyone, just looking at you makes me want to vomit."

"Wang Zhan!!!"

Yuan Shisan ground his teeth, trembling with extreme fear, yet this fear didn’t make him dare to stop for even a second; he just kept fleeing for his life.

The Martial General in black took a sudden step forward. A faint blue light on his body flared up like a star in the night sky—seemingly beautiful, but in reality, it was filled with a resolve to fight to the death.

"Go, my lord! Wang Zhan, let me face you!"

Before he could attack, Wang Zhan slapped out again, sending him flying into the distance like a deflated balloon. However, just as Wang Zhan and Yao Yao were about to catch up to Yuan Shisan, five men in black suddenly appeared before them. One of them was the very same man who had wanted that mutually destructive confrontation with Wang Zhan.

He said sternly, "Humanity cannot afford internal conflict! Sir Yuan Shisan cannot die here! Wang Zhan, stop now! Otherwise, you will learn that the wrath of the original organization is not something you can bear!"

Yao Yao’s small hand, holding Wang Zhan’s, squeezed slightly. Her palm grew faintly moist, a sign of hesitation mixed with a certain resolve.

Wang Zhan simply shook his head.

"Trash has no qualification to represent humanity. You are merely a bunch of parasites clinging to humanity’s body and sucking its blood. While perhaps having some use, too many of you will genuinely impair the body’s functions. So, you must die!"

"Then go to your death!" the remaining four roared with hatred, closing in. Their gazes were chillingly crazed as they fearlessly lunged forward.

Unfortunately for them, Wang Zhan had long understood that when facing the original organization, any hesitation or mercy was cruelty to oneself; otherwise, he would surely die at their hands next time.

He released Yao Yao’s hand, his posture subtly straightening. The Essence Energy within him immediately flowed along a peculiar pathway, cultivating an invincible stance.

"Eight Extremes Fist! The Eight Styles of Golden Vajra! Descending Dragon! Crouching Tiger! Rise!"

BOOM...

In that instant, time seemed to turn into jelly, becoming somewhat sluggish.

But in a flash, five mangled, bloodied figures were viciously flung from the center, falling weakly to the ground. This revealed a circular crater of moderate depth beneath Wang Zhan’s feet.

Only when those men landed could one see the countless fist marks deeply indented on their bodies, like innumerable nails, severing their life force.

’Power +66’

’Agility +82’

’Physique +70’

100 extreme attribute points, completion. Level 2 Warrior realm, completion.

Host: Wang Zhan

Strength: 2,100

Agility: 2,100

Physique: 2,100

Charm: 50

Wisdom: 25

Mental Energy: 600

Just one final push away from becoming a Level 3 Warrior, but now was not the time.

Furthermore, his mental energy had doubled. It was clear that starting from the Warrior realm, the role of mental energy would only become greater, eventually equaling or even surpassing the basic attributes.

Similarly, an ancient boxing method would normally be mere display for anyone below the Martial General Realm. But as Wang Zhan’s internal energy seethed and his strength temporarily soared, surpassing that of a Martial General, and having broken through his limit values by over 50%, it could already become his trump card.

That’s why, even though he had long known Shi Jingtian was just stringing him along, Wang Zhan still thought with some leisure. After I get back, I might have to find that old man again. Although he’s a bit of a swindler, his skills are actually quite good.

"Let’s go! Yuan Shisan won’t escape this time. He has committed too many evil deeds; death is what he deserves."

Because of one Yuan Shisan, five Martial Generals were dead; Wang Zhan didn’t believe the original organization wouldn’t feel the sting. Even if he (Wang Zhan) couldn’t kill Yuan Shisan now, the original organization wouldn’t let Yuan Shisan off lightly for this.

「Chu State Military Martial Academy Team base.」

While Wang Zhan was furiously pursuing Yuan Shisan in the Death Forest, a woman with a graceful figure, dressed in a military uniform, her beautiful face set in a domineering and cold expression, strode into the cave.

Song Dongming and the others instantly became alert, rose, and looked at the woman and the military rank on her shoulder.

"I am your instructor, Mingyue. From now on, I will be responsible for your safety and all training exercises in the Death Forest." Mingyue spoke coldly, making one feel as if they were looking at an iceberg.

The students exchanged glances. Sun Kelan faced this so-called mentor and said in a deep voice, "I hope the mentor can prove her identity!"

BOOM!

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Mingyue, like a great mountain, pressing down on them. It directly made several people either kneel or stumble, all falling to the ground, unable to lift their heads.

They had felt such an aura from King Xing before. Did that mean this woman was also a Martial King? How could that be!

"Is that enough?" Mingyue asked, her expression unchanged as she withdrew her aura.

All team members tacitly stood up and formed ranks. They had no right to question.

"Very well. From now on, I need to know all of your deployments and plans. I hope we have pleasant cooperation!" Mingyue raised an eyebrow and was about to leave.

Sun Kelan’s heart tightened. She immediately stepped forward and said seriously, "Wait, mentor! This student wishes to ask a question."

Mingyue turned her head, and Sun Kelan immediately felt an irresistible pressure, yet she persisted. "I want to know the official decision regarding our captain, Wang Zhan! Otherwise, the Chu State Military Martial Academy Team will not accept any orders from the mentor."

The military was powerful. Since they had intervened, there was no room for resistance. But they could choose to give up their qualification to participate.

This was the will of Chu State’s geniuses!
