In the previous zombie level, Luo Di had worked with the squad leader for a long time and was very familiar with the other's killing methods.

Without weapons, the most conventional strikes, as long as "physical contact" is achieved, can directly and profoundly affect the target's body.

It is not limited to internal organ misalignment, muscle tearing, blood vessel damage, and nerve interruption.

If the force of the blow is strong enough, it can even fundamentally change the physical form.

For example, a zombie that was hit in the waist and abdomen by the squad leader's powerful side kick was instantly folded up like a folded blanket. Not only did it suffer comminuted fractures all over its body, but all its internal organs also came to the surface of its body, and it completely lost its ability to move.

And then there are those who were hit in the brain.

There was no outward change; death occurred instantly.

Upon cutting open the skull, the brain inside was either twisted into a pretzel or scattered haphazardly like tofu.

Clearly, after advancing to become a monster, the squad leader has gained even greater control over his body. He can not only disguise his own body, but also apply this control to others to quickly kill enemies.

It's impossible to defeat the class monitor by dodging all attacks.

The only thing one can do is increase physical strength, to the point that one can withstand the opponent's physical modifications to a certain extent.

As a human, even with the support of Old Spine and the physique of a serial killer, Luo Di's pituitary gland had not yet sprouted due to the difference in his rank, and his physical body was ultimately only at the human level.

The palm strike he received just now had already caused his body to churn violently.

To withstand it, an even stronger body is needed... Unfortunately, Luo Di happens to possess a special body that is not human.

It is a body of a spine forged through a special hellish process, the most suitable body for spine assembly and Hell System.

However, this body was stored in Hell, in the Chaos Nest. Luo Di had no intention of using it, since he already had a body in the Human World.

But to defeat the class monitor right now, the only way is to find a way to project this body onto him.

With the drawing of the Hell Symbol,

Ashes spread throughout the classroom area.

Meanwhile, lines of lava cracked open on the ground.

As the ashes and steam gradually dissipated, a young man with gray hair and a metal jaw stood in the back row of the classroom, looking exactly like Luo Di.

Buzz!

The engine started up and the chainsaw began to operate.

Since the target is the squad leader who is skilled in physical combat, Chainsaw Blade is the best choice.

Gaa!

Waiting area

Just as Hua Yuan, who didn't want to watch the game, was about to fall asleep, he heard a crow cawing.

The crow-foal, which Yu Lu was in charge of keeping, was flapping its wings excitedly.

Hua Yuan also glanced at the surveillance footage out of curiosity and saw the gray-haired youth.

"Is this Luo Di? Although he looks the same, he seems very different. His physique seems to have changed a lot, and his body structure is different."

This is not human; it is another species.

After this trip, I can explore the apartment properly when I get back; maybe this form will offer a different tactile experience.

Moreover, it seems Luo Di is serious about making a move on Wu Wen, but... Yue!

Hua Yuan felt nauseous at the thought of what might happen next, so she obediently lay down on the flower bed to sleep, and put on an eye mask to plug her ears.

Nearly one-third of the audience focused their attention on Luo Di, admiring this otherworldly being who was neither human nor monster.

certainly,

The vast majority of viewers are still focused on that Innate Monster.

The opponent's strength was not just exaggerated, but overwhelming... They seemed to be on a completely different level from the other participants, more like a high-level being coming to harass the fish.

Even seasoned Monster Audience at the scene felt threatened.

The cold moonlight pierced through the windows, spilling and spreading to every corner of the classroom, burying all the Hell Ash that had been drifting away.

The class monitor on the podium couldn't help but glance out the window.

Seeing that familiar, gray moon she had touched, the living moon, the cracked moon... she could vaguely see a door-like structure on the moon's surface.

"Squad leader, what are you looking at?"

The words arrived along with the blade, swish! But only the podium was cut open.

The squad leader instantly took a step back, narrowly avoiding the slash.

"The moon is getting more and more beautiful~ It's a pity you have to wait, Luo Di. This game is really important to me, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

I've seen, touched, and kissed your hellish body... While it is indeed different from a human's, it is still essentially a physical body.

As the class monitor spoke, he simultaneously struck out with his palm.

Snap!

It was more powerful than the previous one, and a faint shockwave could be seen spreading outwards.

This time, however, Luo Di did not fly backward. He merely took three steps back, deliberately stepping on the animal trap to trigger the mechanism and stop his retreat.

There was only a little blood coming from the corner of his mouth, and his overall condition was still relatively good.

On the contrary, the class monitor looked surprised.

"Um?"

She swung her hand, blood flowing from it, the surface covered with puncture wounds and some iron filings remaining inside.

"Luo Di, you actually held back a trick... When did Mr. Hook teach you this technique? You actually turned your whole body into a trap, using your body to this extent."

"The Old Spine integrates all the Hell System. I'm just adjusting the posture that's most suitable for dealing with you, squad leader... We didn't need to use this constitution when we were dealing with the photographer."

"Oh, okay."

current,

Luo Di's exposed Old Spine was wrapped with sharp barbed wire, and by leveraging the triune nature of Hell, he focused all his attributes on the expression of the [torture chamber].

Previously, he could only set some traps inside his body, but now, through complete expression, he has transformed his physical body into a physical torture chamber.

Iron chains and hooks were connected to the body, and all organs were sealed and fixed by the Iron Maiden.

Numerous spike traps are buried beneath the skin.

Various hooks and small animal traps also roamed within its body.

Luo Di also wore the classic Jaw Ripper on his face to prevent the squad leader from attacking his head.

Even the slightest movement will produce a crisp, metallic sound within the body.

This modification is equivalent to maximizing self-defense and damage reflection, but there is a price to pay: Luo Di's weight tripled, and his speed decreased further.

However, the squad leader was already more agile than him. Since he couldn't catch up, it didn't matter if he was a little slower.

To win,

Luo Di needed to wait for an opportunity, but he wasn't sure if he could seize it, nor was he certain that Wu Wen would give him such an opportunity.

He could tell that Wu Wen was serious this time; the two of them hadn't discussed this beforehand.

Clap clap clap!

A round of applause followed.

"Luo Di, you are amazing! I thought your previous performance had reached the limit of the seed stage, but I didn't expect you to be able to improve and do things that exceeded my expectations."

In such a confined space, you certainly have the upper hand.

The room is full of traps, even you yourself are a trap. My physical damage is limited to the maximum extent. It seems I've lost! Come and cut me down!

After the clapping ended, the class monitor actually made a gesture of surrender.

As she wished, Luo Di quickly stepped forward.

This time, instead of directly cutting down the tree, but... smack!

With his left hand wrapped in barbed wire, he grabbed the squad leader's head, and the sharp barbs on the wire completely cut the squad leader's face.

Without any regard for feelings, he pushed her to the ground.

Like pressing a certain ingredient onto a cutting board.

Slashing and cutting...

(The Mosaic Chef makes a limited-time appearance)

Today we're going to make Mapo Tofu.

The chef had just bought a large block of firm tofu from the market next door. He first used a knife to remove the tough outer skin from the edges, and then began to cut the tofu into uniform cubes.

Bright red fermented soybean paste is used to make a topping with beef, and then chopped tofu is added to it.

It's done!

The bright red minced meat blends perfectly with the cubed tofu, making your mouth water just looking at it.

Inside the classroom.

Luo Di's execution was complete, and no intact body structure could be found at the scene.

The Chainsaw Blade in my hand temporarily stopped turning.

The classroom, which should have been quiet, was filled with strange noises—the sound of chunks of meat wriggling.

Those scattered chunks of flesh seemed to possess a self-awareness. Instead of gathering and healing, they dispersed and slowly liquefied, seeping into the classroom.

The entire classroom was covered with this layer of fleshy membrane.

A certain field has been formed.

The podium

A fleshy, seated structure with a base is rising.

Without a skin,

Pink and tender,

Perfect curves

The squad leader's physical form coalesced on the flesh and blood seat, then lay tilted down.

One arm is resting on the handrail.

An arm pointed at Luo Di.

"Since you, Luo Di, are so eager to kill me, then I'll use all my strength to kill you too..."
