Facing a Ge Xiaolun who could not speak, Wei Zitong felt no pressure at all. Besides, Liu Chuang would soon awaken and become the "Nuo Star God of War," one of the Super Seminary's "Three Great God Creation Projects." Possessing "God-Slaying Power," he would become the strongest fighter in terms of explosive destructive force at the Super Seminary, without question.

During the Denuo War, after all, the previous generation's "Nuo Star God of War" had chopped half of Lieyang Star away with a single axe. The planet had not collapsed or been destroyed only because the Lieyang Civilization's technological level had been too advanced.

Sure enough, just as Wei Zitong had expected...

"Pah! I don't give a damn about any God of War or glory crap! I want to vent this anger right now!" Liu Chuang's voice came from behind him, interrupting Ge Xiaolun's silent roar.

Ge Xiaolun turned around blankly, only to be met by Liu Chuang's fierce punch. The blow made stars burst before his eyes. He instinctively raised a hand to strike back, but Liu Chuang grabbed his arm, threw him over his shoulder, and slammed him viciously into the ground. The concrete shattered, sending debris flying everywhere!

Still not satisfied, Liu Chuang kicked Ge Xiaolun, who was sprawled on the ground and unable to get up, sending him skidding a long way across the pavement!

Liu Chuang truly deserved to be called the strongest close-combat fighter at the Super Seminary. He had only just awakened, yet he was already this ferocious. Every dull thud of his blows landing on Ge Xiaolun made even Wei Zitong, watching from the side, feel his teeth ache. Checking the time, he saw it was around ten at night. The police should be arriving soon. Not wanting to get arrested for being involved in a street brawl, Wei Zitong began chanting inwardly, You can't see me. You can't see me!

Lowering his head to look at himself, he found that it had worked. The moment he had recited the first sentence, his body had begun turning transparent. Now, he could not even see his own body or limbs. Only his awareness of his body told him that he had merely become invisible rather than vanished from existence.

The passersby had been drawn in by the exciting fight between the two men in the alley and had not noticed Wei Zitong disappearing at all. He was quite satisfied with that. He left without a trace, hiding both his achievements and his name.

Glancing at his already wrecked sports car, Wei Zitong's heart ached for a moment before he decided to run. According to the Super Seminary's plot, he would soon run into someone he desperately did not want to see.

More accurately, someone the Original Body Owner had been too ashamed to see...

Yet events often did not unfold according to human will. A cry of "Silence!" ruined all his plans...

Had the gag order on Ge Xiaolun already worn off? Watching his transparent figure gradually reappear, Wei Zitong felt both puzzled and irritated. After Ge Xiaolun awakened Galaxy Power, the force of his Silence had become terrifyingly powerful, leaving Wei Zitong trembling all over even now.

The surrounding pedestrians had been sent sprawling everywhere after taking a Brain Damage Slash. Naturally, some of them noticed Wei Zitong gradually becoming visible, and one even cried out, "He can turn invisible!"

Wei Zitong naturally ignored those shocked passersby. Turning around, he rushed into the alley and shouted repeatedly at Ge Xiaolun, who had Liu Chuang around the waist and was charging forward, "You're not allowed to talk! Don't open your mouth!"

Ge Xiaolun, who had been roaring as he charged, instantly felt as though his mouth and throat no longer belonged to him. His roar to bolster his Aura would not come out, and his strength seemed to drop sharply. He could not even push Liu Chuang forward anymore...

Liu Chuang truly was an expert born from street brawls. Seizing the instant Ge Xiaolun lost his breath, he drove a knee viciously into Ge Xiaolun's chest, completely stopping his charge. Then he bent over, wrapped his arms around Ge Xiaolun's waist from behind, hoisted him into the air, and slammed him down headfirst!

After an explosive crash, debris flew everywhere. Ge Xiaolun's head was driven into the concrete ground. Before Liu Chuang could make another move, Wei Zitong, who had long been ready, leaped up and kicked Ge Xiaolun straight out of the concrete floor!

Liu Chuang froze for a moment, then gave Wei Zitong a thumbs-up. The two exchanged knowing smiles before stepping forward in unison and raining punches and kicks down on Ge Xiaolun!

"Think you're so arrogant? Grandfather will kick you to death!"

"'Silence' my ass! Do you have any idea how expensive my sports car was?"

"Haha, well said! I'm his grandfather, and you're his father!"

"Fuck off!"

"..."

Faced with the two men's relentless assault, Ge Xiaolun could only curl into a ball and protect his vital areas. But after his anger faded, he began to marvel that despite suffering such dense and fierce attacks, his body remained completely unharmed.

Wei Zitong naturally knew that a few hits like this would not hurt Ge Xiaolun. He simply wanted to vent, not only because of the wrecked sports car, but also because Ge Xiaolun's cowardice and incompetence would lead to a whole series of future events.

The moment he heard police sirens, Wei Zitong stopped and prepared to flee. But Liu Chuang was having far too much fun beating Ge Xiaolun to stop at all!

Wei Zitong ignored Liu Chuang and quickly chanted inwardly, You can't see me! You can't see me!

Just as he turned to leave, his mind suddenly went blank. His transparent body rapidly reappeared. He turned his head stiffly and discovered Ge Xiaolun, curled on the ground after Liu Chuang's beating, gritting his teeth and silently mouthing at him, "Silence..."

Wei Zitong was so angry that his lungs nearly exploded, but he had no time to care about that. He turned, intending to force his way out, only to be stopped by a crisp shout!

"Wei Zitong, stop right there!" Qilin held up her gun and walked toward Wei Zitong step by step.

Wei Zitong turned around with a bitter expression. The person he least wanted to meet had still appeared before him. The Original Body Owner had been a spoiled rich second-generation heir and a scumbag. While in Juxia City, he had coveted Qilin's beauty, gotten close to Qilin's best friend in order to pursue her, and immediately cut ties with that friend after Qilin rejected his confession. Then...

Then he got what was coming to him and was hit by a car. That had given Wei Zitong, who had also suffered a car accident, the opportunity to transmigrate into this body. However, Wei Zitong possessed the Original Body Owner's memories, and he had also inherited some of the man's emotions and quite a few of his bad habits.

For instance, his hostility toward his Sister, Wei Zixue, who had taken away his family inheritance. Or his extravagant spending...

But when facing Qilin, Wei Zitong felt guilty. Especially after gaining complete control of the body, he did not want to leave a bad impression on her. After all, Qilin was a girl at the Super Seminary with outstanding looks, personality, and character—someone with almost no flaws at all. No man would want a girl that perfect to think poorly of him.

"How could you betray Xiao Nan's feelings for you?" Qilin walked up and immediately launched into a furious scolding. "Are you even a man?"

The surrounding people were somewhat dumbfounded by the scene. Ge Xiaolun lay on the ground, secretly enjoying the spectacle, until another police officer kicked him. He could only get up dejectedly. He tried to explain himself, but the sight of that grim gun muzzle immediately made him lose his nerve.

"I'm not a man? Want to find out?" Influenced by the Original Body Owner's emotions, Wei Zitong's temper instantly flared. No, even without any emotional influence, no man could endure being called unmanly by such a stunning beauty!

But the moment the words left his mouth, he regretted them. Another voice had already appeared in his mind—the voice of that Void Engine System!

First body-modification command received from host: "I'm not a man." The host will be modified into any object other than "a man." Modification option is being randomly selected...

At that very moment, a pug happened to swagger past the entrance of the alley and entered Wei Zitong's field of vision.

Modification option successfully confirmed: "Pug"!

Wait, wait a second! Wei Zitong let out an incomparably desperate roar in his heart: No!

But it was already too late. A stream of deep-black light swept over his body, and his body instantly collapsed and broke apart before reforming into a pug...

The eyes of the onlookers nearly fell out of their sockets...

In the police car heading back to the station, Wei Zitong sat against the seatback with a deathly expression, unwilling to move at all. Liu Chuang and the others, however, were laughing their heads off, endlessly shouting "Pug" from the back.

Wei Zitong was utterly despondent. His lifetime reputation as a dashing and suave man had been ruined just like that. In the end, he had only returned to normal because the system lacked sufficient energy. He swore that once he got out, he would catch that damned pug and cook it, or else he would never be able to soothe the hatred in his heart!

Qilin no longer had her previous imposing manner. Instead, like an endlessly curious child, she kept asking, "How did you turn into a pug? Do you have some kind of magical transformation ability? Like Sun Wukong's Seventy-two Transformations?"

Wei Zitong glanced at the night outside the window and said listlessly, "Don't talk to me. I don't want to talk!"

In an instant, all desire to communicate vanished from him...
