Chapter 155: 123, the outcome has been decided
It took only a moment before the reply came: “The organization’s background is far more powerful than you imagine. The Jingdu Li Family is nothing, easily crushed with a snap of the fingers.”
Lu Gang asked curiously, “What exactly is the background of the organization?”
The other side replied, “Ask less, do more.”
After reading the message, Lu Gang looked up at Wang Shujie and asked in lip-reading, “Shu Jie, shall we do it?”
Wang Shujie replied in lip-reading, “Do you think we have a choice?”
Lu Gang said, “How about… we ask Principal Yuan for help? Maybe she has a way to solve this.”
Wang Shujie said, “She definitely has a way to solve it, but whether we can survive afterwards is another matter.”
Wang Shujie continued, “Moreover, I don’t think joining the organization is a bad thing. At least we are much stronger than before and have more potential.”
Wang Shujie added, “Most importantly, I agree with the organization’s philosophy. As humans, we can’t save the people of Earth.”
Lu Gang said, “That’s true.”
After a brief lip-reading exchange, the two decided to follow the organization’s arrangement.
Exotic Beast Gene of the Demon-eyed Giant Ape?
On the Martial Stage, Lin Zichen raised an eyebrow, full of interest towards Li Moyu in front of him.
He overheard the voices of the school leaders in the second-floor corridor, learning that the Exotic Beast Gene Li Moyu fused with was that of the Demon-eyed Giant Ape.
Lin Zichen remembered reading about this type of Exotic Beast in books when he was younger.
It was a kind of beast that was maxed out in strength and defense, but somewhat slow in speed.
The biological level of adult individuals was on average high-level.
A small number of powerful individuals could reach the Rare Level.
All in all, it was an extremely powerful and terrifying Exotic Beast, capable of eating Giant Mutant Rats as snacks.
Despite only being of Ordinary Biological Level, Li Moyu was remarkably capable of fusing the Exotic Beast Gene of a species that could reach the highest Rare Level into his body…
As he thought about this, Lin Zichen carefully observed Li Moyu in front of him.
At that moment, Li Moyu had completely activated the Demon-eyed Giant Ape Gene within him.
His stature had increased by a full fifty percent over its size before activation.
His muscles were all bulging prominently.
The lines and proportions were comparable to the Hulk.
His entire body radiated explosive power.
Lin Zichen also noticed something else: just like on the Martial Stage, the speed at which Li Moyu activated the Exotic Beast Gene was much faster than Ma Xiwei’s.
It was almost in the blink of an eye that Li Moyu activated the Demon-eyed Giant Ape Gene within him.
Then, he rapidly transformed into a being brimming with explosive muscular power, pushing his biological intimidation to Ordinary Sixth Order, possessing strength comparable to a Sixth Order creature.
From this, it was clear that Li Moyu’s abilities were much stronger than Ma Xiwei’s.
Li Moyu, who had fused with the Demon-eyed Giant Ape Gene, was worth collecting data on.
“Lin Zichen.”
The transformed Li Moyu spoke.
With his arms crossed and standing at his newly acquired height of over two meters, he looked down at Lin Zichen from his elevated position and said, “Ma Xiwei is strong, and along with me, we are hailed as the unparalleled pair of freshmen at Shan University.”
“But in reality, the gap between her and me is like heaven and earth.”
“If you can knock her out with one punch, I can too, and I would do it even more effortlessly than you.”
“I wonder if you will still be able to perform as effortlessly when facing me next.”
“I think it’s unlikely.”
“Because the one who’s going to be at ease next will only be me, Li Moyu…buzz!”
Before Li Moyu could finish speaking, a sharp breaking sound suddenly rang out in front of him.
Lin Zichen made his move!
He didn’t want to listen to Li Moyu’s incessant babbling, choosing to take a quick step forward and swing his fist at Li Moyu’s non-stop chattering mouth, intending to use his fist to break off the little brat’s babbling spellcasting.
“Fuck!”
Faced with Lin Zichen’s sudden sneak attack, Li Moyu cursed out loud, then quickly sidestepped to dodge the incoming punch.
Good reflexes, dodging a punch I controlled at ordinary Sixth Order speed…
Thinking this, Lin Zichen swung another punch at Li Moyu, this time with the speed of an ordinary Seventh Order.
At this moment, Li Moyu was still in the midst of dodging the first punch, facing Lin Zichen’s almost uninterrupted second punch, he had no time to react and dodge.
Only a “bang” could be heard.
Lin Zichen’s fist heavily smashed into Li Moyu’s face, warping it instantly and leaving a clear red mark.
This punch wasn’t too forceful, he used only as much strength as he had previously used on Ma Xiwei’s face.
Because of this, Li Moyu didn’t go flying backwards but only staggered two steps back.
At the same time, his face didn’t swell up, but it hurt so much that he covered it with one hand, grimacing in pain.
Strong defense, seems to be on a relatively high level for ordinary Sixth Order…
Lin Zichen silently appraised as he watched Li Moyu holding his face in pain.
“Playing sneaky, don’t you have any martial ethics,” Li Moyu said, touching the half of his face that took a punch while squinting at Lin Zichen.
Suddenly taking a punch from Lin Zichen made him feel humiliated, and he was somewhat enraged.
However, he soon stretched his mouth into a smile and said, “Now, I’ve got my full attention on you; your fists will probably find it hard to hit me.”
Lin Zichen didn’t respond, but once again flashed in front of Li Moyu and swung his fists at his face, retesting his reaction speed.
This time, a prepared Li Moyu indeed reacted much faster.
At the same ordinary Seventh Order speed, Lin Zichen threw 52 punches in a short 10 seconds, but only 9 landed, bruising the corners of Li Moyu’s mouth.
On the second floor of the corridor.
The school leaders were all watching the duel on the Martial Stage intently.
Upon seeing Lin Zichen’s speed of five punches per second, everyone’s expressions turned to surprise.
“Lin Zichen’s speed is too exaggerated; it looks even faster than Ma Xiwei, who has fused with the Shadow Night Cat gene. I have no idea how he managed to train like this.”
“It’s fast, but unfortunately, it hasn’t caused much damage to Li Moyu. The outcome of their duel has been decided.”
“Indeed, Li Moyu might be slower, but he has tough skin, extremely high defensive capability, and can withstand his punches. On the other hand, if he takes a punch from Li Moyu, he’s likely to fall right there.”
“Yes, the margin for error between the two isn’t on the same level. It seems like this year’s Newcomer King will be Li Moyu.”
After discussing among themselves, the school leaders all felt that the duel was over and that Li Moyu would become the Newcomer King.
Among them, Ma Zhenhe first looked at President Liu Chuanwu beside him and said with a smug face, “President Liu, it looks like you’re going to lose your pants this time.”
Liu Chuanwu didn’t react to him, just furrowed his brows tightly, hoping that Lin Zichen would be smart enough not to clash head-on with Li Moyu and instead use a maneuvering approach to engage in a war of attrition.
That way, Lin Zichen might still stand a slim chance of winning.
