Chapter 180 – Super Evolve! Molybdenum Demon Bear Beast!
“Uh.”
Not only was Lu Yuan stunned, but even the surrounding new blood were also dumbfounded.
The Molybdenum Demon Bear Beast, immensely powerful and seemingly possessing the power to dominate everything, was just hammered to death by Lu Yuan with his bare fists?
Everyone was a bit confused, their minds buzzing from the unexpected scene before them, causing a brief moment of mental freeze.
It was as if everyone was in a classroom.
One day, a renowned teacher came to the school, and the top student in your class suddenly stepped up to challenge the teacher.
It would have been one thing if their duel had been evenly matched, but in the end, the former suddenly defeated the latter in an instant.
Who wouldn’t be confused in such a scenario?
After a brief moment of shock, Lu Yuan frowned and quickly stepped forward.
His waist-length hair danced in the wind behind him, and the blood-red lotus eyes were about to open.
A scorching aura, like that of a molten volcano, spread invisibly, causing the stones and dust along the path to part automatically.
Lu Yuan was somewhat displeased.
It felt like playing a game and getting to an exciting point where both sides were evenly matched, and just as you were about to fight for the decisive dragon, the opposing side suddenly surrendered, causing the crystal to explode on its own.
That feeling of being unable to fully enjoy the thrill was truly frustrating.
“How can you just fall when I’m in the midst of an inspiration rush and my hands are working so deftly?”
Lu Yuan leaned down beside the fallen Molybdenum Demon Bear Beast, examining its body carefully with his Mental Power.
He discovered that the bones and flesh of the Molybdenum Demon Bear Beast were almost shattered, and its Five Viscera were ruptured.
Although it wasn’t dead yet, it was severely injured.
While Lu Yuan was squatting beside it conducting research, the Molybdenum Demon Bear Beast’s eyes were still staring at him intently.
It looked at him as if he were a monster straight out of a horror story!
“Is this the downside of new martial arts?”
Lu Yuan used his hand to poke at some complex yet chaotic mechanical components revealed in the Molybdenum Demon Bear Beast’s broken flesh, seemingly pondering something.
New martial arts, in essence, also involved transplant and modification.
What’s the biggest difference between mechanics and the human body?
Recovery!
Mechanical components need repairs and regular maintenance. Even with some technological advancements that provide self-repair capabilities, they still fall short of the self-repairing abilities of human cells.
Lu Yuan was a pure martial artist.
After breaking his limits once, his constitution points had limitless potential.
In his fight with the Molybdenum Demon, his potential was continuously tapped, making him more courageous and stronger with each battle.
On the other hand, the Molybdenum Demon was in a state of constant wear and tear.
The recoil force from their punches placed immense stress on the two new martial arts mechanisms in his body.
When the pressure reached a critical level,
Snap, it broke apart.
“This makes it even clearer that I shouldn’t switch to new martial arts and modification.”
The fluid molybdenum steel originally attached to the Molybdenum Demon’s body had now hardened, turned black, and peeled off on a large scale.
Many of the gigapascal liquid pump martial arts devices transplanted into his muscles and bones were also shattered.
The entire being looked like a broken toy, lying miserably on the ground.
Lu Yuan felt a bit regretful and was about to stand up.
Suddenly!
His expression changed. He quickly reached out and forcibly pulled out a lump of muddy flesh from the Molybdenum Demon’s left rib.
“What is this?”
“Oh, it’s the Bear Man.”
The liquid-like Bear Man looked at Lu Yuan with utter “terror.”
When it came to who had the best experience in this battle, it was definitely the Bear Man!
The Bear Man had the top-tier VIP seat, being stuck close to the Molybdenum Demon’s body, nearly numbed by the repeated impacts between Lu Yuan and the Molybdenum Demon.
If it weren’t for his extreme ability to dissipate force, he would have died before the Molybdenum Demon.
Throughout the countless punches exchanged, the Bear Man’s fear and dread of Lu Yuan accumulated to a peak.
This fear, combined with the previous trauma of being brutally beaten by Lu Yuan in the gravitational field, intensified.
Now, facing Lu Yuan again and looking into his deep, abyss-like eyes, the Bear Man was so terrified that he almost couldn’t help but shiver.
There was no longer any trace of the pride belonging to a Level A+ strongman.
“What are you planning to do…”
Lu Yuan tugged at the Bear Man, realizing that most of his body had burrowed into the Molybdenum Demon’s body, with the adhered areas being extremely disgusting.
“Acting like a ghoul?”
He looked into the Bear Man’s eyes, which were subconsciously filled with panic and avoidance.
Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Lu Yuan’s mind.
“Could it be that you have some sort of devouring evolution ability?”
Bang!
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, the Bear Man in his hand exploded.
His entire body turned into liquid, desperately trying to burrow into the Molybdenum Demon’s body.
The dying Molybdenum Demon groaned, seemingly in extreme pain.
Lu Yuan gripped a part of the Bear Man’s body tightly, like holding onto a wildly struggling octopus.
His Mental Power penetrated the Molybdenum Demon’s body, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.
He observed that the Bear Man’s tissues were rapidly merging with the Molybdenum Demon’s organs.
It was like a puzzle being put together, continuously healing the Molybdenum Demon’s injuries, with new vitality bursting forth.
It seemed even stronger than the previous Molybdenum Demon.
The Molybdenum Demon had undergone genetic enhancement, reaching a physical limit break.
“Good, good, good.”
Lu Yuan nodded approvingly, smiling as he forcefully shoved the Bear Man into the Molybdenum Demon’s wound.
“Keep going, evolve well. I’ll give you time.”
The Bear Man, who was desperately trying to burrow in, froze upon hearing this.
Before he could react, Lu Yuan had already stepped back several paces, quietly waiting for his performance.
As the Bear Man entered the Molybdenum Demon’s body, the biochemical modification capabilities—perhaps involving tardigrade and other biological genes—began to display their miraculous power.
The Molybdenum Demon, lying on the ground, with a shattered body, began to radiate new vitality.
Lu Yuan watched as the molybdenum steel that had peeled off and fallen to the ground turned back into liquid and was reabsorbed by the “Molybdenum Demon” bit by bit.
Simultaneously, the “Molybdenum Demon’s” muscles and bones started to contract and reorganize, seemingly transforming into a more powerful and robust form.
An indescribable sense of excitement emanated from the “Molybdenum Demon.”
Lu Yuan’s eyes gleamed with unusual light.
Watching the miraculous rebirth of the “Molybdenum Demon,” he found himself in an incredibly peculiar state.
This battle, the most exhilarating he had ever experienced, made both his body and inspiration boil like never before.
Lu Yuan felt as if he had grasped something.
He was on the verge of understanding something profound.
Something was about to break free from its shell.
The Molybdenum Demon collapsing earlier had interrupted this feeling. Now, it seemed there was a chance to resume it.
“A martial artist does not fear any challenge. He only feels excitement.”
“The birth of a legend deserves a more splendid, passionate climax.”
“So…”
Lu Yuan watched the “Molybdenum Demon” before him with great anticipation, silently chanting in his heart.
“Give me a super evolution! Molybdenum Demon Bear Beast!”
“Ugh…”
On the rapidly flying shuttle, Song Cong stared blankly at the real-time projection of the assessment site.
For a moment, he was dazed.
Beside him, Su Zhaohui, now in a fresh uniform and completely rid of the smell of alcohol, was glowing with excitement. Pointing at the virtual screen in front of him, he said, “What do you think, Old Song? Do you still dare say that my task setup was outrageous? Without the motivation from my level SS task, could you have seen this kid’s true potential limit now?
The Molybdenum Demon! The dual A+ mastery new martial arts Molybdenum Demon! Even level S- non-strength specialists have a headache when they see him, not daring to face him head-on! And this kid just smashed him to pieces with punch after punch!”
The more Su Zhaohui spoke, the more pleased he became, and his voice grew louder.
In the end, he had an air of “I am the only true connoisseur of talent,” laughing and saying, “Do you still dare question my judgment in the future?
I, Su Zhaohui, have the most discerning eye, bar none!”
Song Cong remained silent, though quite irritated by Su Zhaohui’s gloating, he had to admit that this fellow indeed had some merit.
Of course, more than anything, he was shocked.
Shocked by Lu Yuan.
So far, this newcomer named Lu Yuan had repeatedly exceeded his psychological expectations.
Every time he amazed! Every time he shook Song Cong’s perception!
Su Zhaohui had said something right.
This Lu Yuan truly had the qualifications to be the most talented and promising new blood in the history of the Yellow Bear!
“I’m worried now that with Lu Yuan’s current performance, I might soon be unable to afford the cost of recruiting him.”
Song Cong looked into Su Zhaohui’s eyes and said with a slightly complex expression.
“Ha ha!” Su Zhaohui laughed heartily, patting Song Cong on the shoulder. “Impossible, impossible! Old Song, we’re buddies, how could I take advantage of you?”
“Heh.”
Song Cong looked at him, sneering silently.
Just as Su Zhaohui was about to say more, his peripheral vision caught something on the virtual screen, and he suddenly froze.
His expression turned serious in an instant.
Noticing the change on Su Zhaohui’s face, Song Cong quickly turned to look as well.
Soon, Song Cong frowned and spoke, “What’s going on? Wasn’t the Molybdenum Demon defeated? Why does it seem like its aura is recovering and getting stronger?”
“It’s the Bear Man!”
Su Zhaohui quickly tapped on the virtual screen, pulling up the Bear Man’s data. He meticulously reviewed it from start to finish.
Upon reading a particular piece of information, he suddenly cursed.
“Damn!
How come the Bear Man has genes from that thing mixed in?
Why wasn’t this flagged?!”
Su Zhaohui’s face turned grim, muttering to himself, “No wonder. No wonder the food given to the Bear Man was always subjected to such strict screening.”
Song Cong also saw the data, his expression instantly turning icy.
“Impressive. You dare to include test subjects involved in extraterrestrial biology research in the new blood assessment. Truly bold, with a spirit of innovation.”
“Tell that to Xiao Rui! She’s the one in charge of the entire assessment process. I’m just an invigilator!”
Su Zhaohui was visibly agitated, far from his previous calm demeanor.
“Tardigrade, tardigrade, adaptability. No wonder… That was never purely a tardigrade modification experiment.
It’s because they were trying to study extraterrestrial genetic modification that they chose tardigrade modification as an auxiliary method.”
Everything seemed to become clear at this moment.
But.
It didn’t seem to help solve the problem.
“Activate the Sword of Judgement! Remotely annihilate the Molybdenum Demon Bear Beast!”
Song Cong spoke coldly, “Immediately! I know you have it on this shuttle!”
Su Zhaohui’s face was grim as he stared at the virtual screen.
Without a word, he brought up a virtual control panel.
Charging, target locked, launch countdown.
10, 9, 8, 7…
As the numbers ticked down one by one, neither Song Cong nor Su Zhaohui spoke.
The countdown approached zero.
Song Cong turned to look at the real-time monitoring feed on the virtual screen.
1, 2, 3…
A few seconds passed, and the screen remained calm.
Song Cong frowned in confusion and turned his head.
He found Su Zhaohui quietly watching him.
The “Sword of Judgement” countdown had stopped at the final second.
“Why?” Song Cong asked calmly, though there was an undercurrent of tension in his eyes.
“Trust me one more time, Old Song.”
Su Zhaohui’s eyes were sincere, filled with a strange mix of anticipation and certainty.
He turned and pointed to a figure on the virtual screen, a young man who looked both demonic and eager, waiting with excitement.
“Trust him one more time as well. I believe that since he made this decision himself, he should be even more confident than we can imagine!”
The shuttle fell into a profound silence, with no words spoken for a long time.
