Third Tier Is Nothing Special!
Doctor Chu raised his hand and pressed his wristwatch, and a semi-transparent Holographic Light Screen unfolded in front of him, densely marked with cross-sectional diagrams of the damaged bones of the Iron Wolf's corpse.
" With Mortal Body, no known radiation energy circuits were detected, yet he could unleash four thousand jin of Hidden Force with his elbow, shattering Second Tier Alloy Chainsaw within ten seconds and piercing through Half-Step Third Tier wolf- Superpower."
Doctor Chu adjusted his glasses, his tone as gentle as if he were lecturing in a university lecture hall:
"Chen Fan, according to Article 3 of the Base City's 'Genes Level Law,' the potential you and your sister have demonstrated has exceeded the scope of the slum dwellers."
"I am now, in my capacity as the highest-ranking official of the Prometheus Institute, formally informing you: you have been pardoned."
Doctor Chu spread his arms, displaying the powerful mechanical force behind him:
"Come back to the Upper City with me. The research institute will grant you the prestigious status of a second-class upper citizen, appoint you as the honorary deputy captain of the Special Operations Group, provide you with thirty doses of high-purity nutrient solution every month, and even allow you to live in a sky garden residential area with a centrally heated system."
On the second-floor balcony, Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged; he didn't even raise an eyebrow.
He uttered only two words: "Conditions."
A hint of approval flashed in Doctor Chu's eyes:
"Intelligent. Excellent test subjects always possess a clearer mind."
"The conditions are simple. First, voluntarily have a pontine nerve inhibitor implanted and swear allegiance to the research institute; second, relinquish custody and guardianship of your sister, Chen Xi."
Doctor Chu's voice trembled with barely suppressed excitement:
"Her blood possesses the extraordinary power to reverse radiation mutations and purify Genes Locks. This is a supreme miracle belonging to all humanity; keeping it in your hands would only be a waste. The research institute will extract a suitable amount of her bone marrow and heart blood as a base to synthesize the fourth-generation sacred potion. Rest assured, with the most advanced life support system, she won't die; she can live for at least ten years."
The words had barely left his mouth.
The air on the second-floor balcony seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
Chen Fan slowly pulled his hands out of his pockets and straightened his collar, which had been ruffled by the morning breeze.
"You've finished your nonsense, you can get lost now."
Doctor Chu's smile froze.
His facial muscles twitched slightly, and his pupils behind his gold-rimmed glasses gradually contracted into cold, needle-like points.
"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit."
Doctor Chu shook his head, his eyes revealing the cruelty of the superiors looking down upon the insignificant.
He didn't even bother to glance at Chen Fan again, turning to walk towards the armored vehicle, merely waving his white gloves coldly.
"Black Python, dislocate his limb joints and sever his lumbar nerves. Remember, I want him alive; his brain can't be damaged."
"Understood, Doctor!"
The two-meter-tall special operations captain, Black Python, let out a sharp hissing laugh, and a series of dense, crisp cracking sounds erupted from his joints.
He reached behind his waist and unfastened a strangely shaped honeycomb launcher, then winked at the two Second Tier Agility Type special agents beside him.
"Bang bang!"
Twelve thumb-sized, dark blue metal darts ripped through the air, shooting straight toward the second-floor balcony with a violent tearing sound.
Ordered Energy-Suppression Bolt!
The research institute spent a huge sum of money to create this high-frequency electromagnetic suppression weapon. Once it pierces the target's flesh, the chaotic magnetic field it releases instantly can directly sever the resonance between the Esper and the Genes Lock, causing Third Tier powerhouse to lose all ability to resist within two seconds and become a lamb to the slaughter.
Facing the twelve blue beams shooting towards him, Chen Fan did not dodge.
He didn't even draw the rusty, broken Broken Saber hanging at his waist.
Under the menacing gaze of the Black Python and a group of special agents, the boy stepped over the edge of the balcony and stomped his foot heavily in mid-air!
Without the aid of any ropes or jet propulsion devices, he simply shattered the air by stepping on it.
Within the Qi Sea, the black and white Tai Chi Millstone rotates half a circle in reverse.
Boom!
An invisible Guixu Field nothingness swept outwards from Chen Fan.
The twelve high-frequency energy suppression plugs, enough to paralyze Third Tier Esper, had just approached within a meter of him when the intricate superconducting chips inside instantly overloaded and exploded in mid-air into harmless bursts of metallic sparks.
"What the hell?!"
The Black Python's eyelids twitched violently.
Before he could react, Chen Fan had passed through the flames, was already falling straight down towards his head like a meteorite falling from a cliff!
The air produced a sharp popping sound as it was compressed at extreme speed.
As expected of Third Tier powerhouse who had experienced hundreds of bloody battles, the Black Python, at the critical moment of life and death, fully unlocked its Genes Locks, and a frenzied snake-like mutation source power surged out wildly.
His entire right arm swelled up in a bizarre way, and in the blink of an eye, a layer of blackish-blue bone armor three inches thick condensed on the outer layer of his skin. Bone claws, curved like iron hooks, emerged from the tips of his five fingers, carrying a terrifying force of Thirty Thousand Jin, and slammed violently upwards toward Chen Fan's face!
"Get down here, you son of a bitch!!"
Before the force of the punch even arrived, a wave of air was already being stirred up from the muddy water below.
Chen Fan remained expressionless in mid-air, his right hand hanging down with his fingers slightly spread, lightly pressing down as if plucking a string on a musical instrument.
Bang!
The fleshy palm and the bone fist collided fiercely in mid-air.
There were no Superpower -shattering supernatural flames, only a purely physical collision.
The violent shockwave rippled wildly in all directions, and the armor plates of the two Yaksha Mecha three meters away emitted a piercing wail.
The Black Python's sinister grin froze completely on its face.
His all-out attack, combining his entire body weight, Superpower, and Thirty Thousand Jin of superhuman strength, was effortlessly caught by that fair and delicate hand.
Five seemingly powerless fingers, like divine pincers forged from refined gold, firmly held his heavy fist in mid-air, preventing it from moving an inch.
Chen Fan hovered in mid-air, looking down at the Black Python's violently trembling eyes, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Third Tier? Nothing special."
Click!
The sound of bones cracking was particularly jarring in the quiet morning.
The Black Python's wrist bones, thick as if cast from pig iron, were forcibly dented, leaving a deep finger mark, the instant Chen Fan tightened his grip.
The excruciating pain instantly stretched the Black Python's vertical pupils into two Dao Blood lines.
"You little bastard who's asking for it!"
A dying roar, like that of a wild beast, rolled from the Black Python's throat.
He did not withdraw; the savage instinct Bone Refinement dozens of battles in the Wasteland overwhelmed his fear.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Bloody holes suddenly burst open at the joints of the Black Python's body, and dozens of pale white, dark green barbs protruded from its skin.
Third Tier Origin Source Superpower - Venomous Bone Spikes!
The Black Python lunged forward with its massive body, its entire form resembling a trap covered in sharp spikes, its arms and legs coiling around Chen Fan, attempting to pierce and strangle him with its bony Bone Spikes.
The tip of each Bone Spikes is coated with highly potent neurotoxic venom capable of instantly melting steel plates.
A foul-smelling green mist rushed towards us.
Chen Fan's toes, suspended in mid-air, shifted slightly.
He did not back down.
The instant the dense Bone Spikes touched his chest, Chen Fan's skin emitted a faint gray-white glow.
Laugh!!
The Bone Spikes pierced through Chen Fan's coarse cloth coat, embedding itself half an inch into the surface of his flesh, drawing out a few strands of charred, poisonous blood.
