nChapter 24

nWilderness Town.

nRuins of a collapsed villa—

nCovered in vines.

nNo one would have thought that a mysterious experimental base existed deep beneath the ruins of this villa.

nThe entire underground experimental base was half the size of a football field, giving off a rough industrial style. It was more like a large prison rather than a base.

nThere were dozens of steel cages in the dimly lit base.

nWith more than 10 prisoners with numb expressions in every steel cage.

nThe air was filled with a dilapidated and unpleasant smell. There was blood, sweat, and excrement. All kinds of smells mixed together, completely stimulating one’s sense of smell.

nThere were also dozens of armed patrolmen patrolling back and forth.

n“Supervisor, it’s six in the afternoon. The sun is almost setting.”

nA man in combat uniform reported to Zhang Yaoyang, the head of the base.

nZhang Yaoyang placed his feet on the desk. His gaze was dark and fierce, like a vicious wolf that was about to devour someone.

n“Have all the test subjects been injected with the Type-B Beastification Potion?”

nZhang Yaoyang said calmly.

n“All injections have been completed. It will be effective in about 10 minutes.”

nThe man in the combat uniform hurriedly replied.

n“Very good!” Zhang Yaoyang held the chair with both hands and suddenly stood on the desk with a fierce expression. “Open all the cages immediately and release all the test subjects.”

n“Let the Advanced Apprentices of the top ten high schools in Jiang City test the effects of the Type-B Beastification Potion for us. Let’s see if there are any areas that need improvement.”

nThe man in the combat uniform left to carry out the order immediately.

nNot long after, ferocious roars came from the depths of this base, as if countless monsters had been released from their cages.

n…

nOn a dilapidated old street…

nRumble!

nTwo figures that kept colliding and intersecting suddenly appeared. The violent power directly shattered the surrounding abandoned cars of the old era into countless scrap metal.

n“No more fights, no more…”

nSuddenly, a burly and strong figure took more than ten steps back and stopped on the old street. He kept panting and sweat dripped from his head.

n“So soon?”

nChu Zhou smiled and looked at Shi Meng, who was covered in blood.

nShi Meng rolled his eyes. “Chu Zhou, you b*stard. You’re too evil.”

n“You had at least 50 chances to defeat me, but you stop every time… Are you treating me as a tool to train your combat techniques?”

n“Tool? That leaves such a bad taste… Even though it’s the truth.” Chu Zhou chuckled.

nHe actually admitted it directly!

nShi Meng was speechless.

nHe would definitely beat Chu Zhou until his face was covered in peach blossoms if not for the fact that he couldn’t beat him.

n“Tsk tsk, Shi Meng, what is this look about? Is it the latest beggar outfit? It’s quite unique!”

nA light laugh sounded and an elegant woman with long hair appeared at the top of the two-story house.

nIt was Li Qingshi!

n“Li Qingshi, what are you laughing at? Are you his match if I’m not? Fight him too if you have the ability!”

nShi Meng looked at Li Qingshi on the roof and rolled his eyes.

n“Chu Zhou, can you still fight?” Li Qingshi blinked mischievously.

n“Sure! Definitely!”

nChu Zhou puffed out his chest.

nHow could a man say no?

n“I’ll attack then!”

nLi Qingshi’s figure instantly disappeared from the roof.

nThe next moment, a sharp dagger appeared in Chu Zhou’s vision.

n“So fast!”

nChu Zhou’s eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately used his Curved Hand Blade and slashed out an incomparably sharp scarlet arc towards the dagger.

nHowever, before the sharp scarlet arc could cut the dagger, it suddenly disappeared.

nSwoosh!

nThe dagger appeared from another direction and went for Chu Zhou again.

nAnother scarlet arc cut towards the dagger.

nThe dagger disappeared again and reappeared abruptly behind Chu Zhou, stabbing towards his back.

nChu Zhou suddenly turned around and slashed down like a death scythe.

nThe dagger disappeared again.

nJust like that, the two sides clashed dozens of times in a flash, but not a single formal collision occurred.

nSuch a battle was fast and thrilling.

nAnyone who was slow to react would be pierced by a dagger or slashed by an incomparably sharp hand blade.

nIt was like two artists dancing on the tip of a knife were crossing swords. There was an artistic conception to it.

n“Chu Zhou, you’re amazing!” Shi Meng looked at the lightning-fast confrontation and exclaimed, “Even Li Qingshi, who is extremely skilled in assassination, couldn’t do anything to him. He didn’t even panic…”

nHe had a deep understanding of Li Qingshi’s assassination skills.

nLi Qingshi’s unpredictable assassination techniques put him in a very difficult position every time.

nBasically, he relied on the Nine Fold Tremor Punch to shake the air or the ground, forming a large-scale attack that forced Li Qingshi to fight him head-on and turn the situation around…

nIn the end, he relied on his more abundant physical strength to drag Li Qingshi down.

nChu Zhou’s performance was clearly much better than Shi Meng’s.

nShi Meng could tell that Chu Zhou was able to handle Li Qingshi’s assassinations attempts easily.

nEven the rhythm of his breathing was not disrupted at all.

n“F*ck, that b*stard Chu Zhou is deliberately holding back his strength again. He’s using Li Qingshi as a tool to train his combat techniques…”

nShi Meng widened his eyes and saw through Chu Zhou’s intentions. However, he soon smiled.

n“Hehe, I’m not the tool this time! Then it doesn’t matter… Besides, I can’t be the only tool!”

nShi Meng chuckled and did not remind Li Qingshi.

nHe simply sat on the grass and watched the show.

nLi Qingshi exerted all her strength in her movement technique. She attacked Chu Zhou again and again with the assassination techniques she had practiced for many years.

nHer figure was like a ghost, and her dagger was even more elusive.

nHowever, after 108 consecutive failed assassination attempts, she suddenly thought of something when she saw Chu Zhou’s calm expression.

nChu Zhou’s reaction was very fast.

nBut… He could actually still be faster.

nShe knew that Chu Zhou had also cultivated the Sharp Blade Kick.

nIt was an offensive combat technique, not a movement technique.

nHowever, it was related to his legs after all. He could speed up to a certain extent.

nEspecially when it came to short-range speed explosions, the effect of the Sharp Blade Kick was very obvious.

nHowever, Chu Zhou did not use his Sharp Blade Kick to increase his speed.

nOtherwise, the scale of victory would have long leaned towards Chu Zhou.

nIt was obvious that Chu Zhou had deliberately held back his strength.

n“This b*stard is using me as a tool to train his combat technique.”

nLi Qingshi suddenly retreated more than ten meters and stared at Chu Zhou angrily.

n“Hahaha, Li Qingshi, you finally realized that Chu Zhou is using you as a tool…”

nShi Meng burst out laughing.

n“You’re an as*hole too!”

nLi Qingshi glared fiercely at Shi Meng. Shi Meng had discovered the truth and did not tell her. To think that she had been used by Chu Zhou for so long.

n“Sigh, neither of you are good enough! You’re too weak and lack tenacity! Besides… What’s wrong with being a tool? A tool is still a human!”

nChu Zhou clicked his tongue and sighed. He lifted his right foot and suddenly slashed at a mossy bus beside him like a sickle.

nThe bus was cut open with a poof.

nHis face was filled with joy. His Sharp Blade Kick had finally advanced to the Perfection Realm through training with Shi Meng and Li Qingshi.

n“Perfection Realm Sharp Blade Kick?”

nShi Meng and Li Qingshi’s eyes widened when they saw this scene.

nThen, they remembered that Chu Zhou’s Sharp Blade Kick had advanced to Perfection Realm most likely because of them.

nThey instantly felt disgusted.

n“Ling Zhan’s foresight is really accurate… This is indeed a very scary guy!” Li Qingshi sighed.

n“They say we’re monsters… But I think he’s the real monster. He’s got an Intent Realm Curved Hand Blade and a Perfection Realm Sharp Blade Kick… Moreover, his Life Field Energy is definitely not just 3.5. It’s at least 4. Have you heard of such a high school student?”

n“Ling Zhan has really met his match this time.”

nShi Meng said.

nLi Qingshi nodded slightly, agreeing with Shi Meng’s words.

nThey knew how powerful Ling Zhan was… However, they felt that Ling Zhan might not be Chu Zhou’s match after exchanging blows with him.

n“Ah! Help! There’s a monster… There’s a monster…”

nSuddenly, an extremely miserable scream came from not far away.

nChu Zhou, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a student with a broken arm fleeing in panic.

nSuddenly, a human-shaped monster with exposed muscles, as if its entire body had been skinned, caught up from behind and pushed the student to the ground. Then, it bit the student’s throat.

n“What’s that? That’s not a monster!”

nThe expressions of Chu Zhou and the others immediately changed.

nMiserable screams sounded one after another near the street in no time. Humanoid monsters with exposed muscles kept appearing in the vision of Chu Zhou and the other two.

n“Something’s wrong! These humanoid monsters definitely don’t exist in this town… I’m afraid an accident has happened.”

nChu Zhou, Shi Meng, and Li Qingshi had ugly expressions.

nThis sudden change made them feel a huge impending crisis.

nIt was obvious that the origin of those humanoid monsters was not simple.

nSuch a crisis was very likely not something that Advanced Apprentices like them could deal with.
