Bang!

Li Aoz was sent flying backward again. His pupils contracted rapidly, and he rolled on the ground to dissipate the impact. He then injected himself with a stimulant, and the hormones quickly took effect, invigorating him.

His health was reduced by 1/4. Although this guy's [Strength] attribute was a bit low, his speed bonus was too terrifying. A casual heavy blow could cripple him.

He had just raised his head when the strongman kicked him.

Whoosh—

At the critical moment, the Magnum Plasma Gun's laser blocked the Strongman's attack, and the Strongman paused in dissatisfaction before turning around and lunging directly at Du Zexin.

Damn it!

[Iterative Movement] activated. After landing, Li Aoz hurriedly activated gravity, but even with 60G acceleration, he couldn't keep up with the professor's terrifying speed.

[[Peak Moment] Military - Overclocking] Time seemed to slow down because of the three of them. Du Zexin released Micro Drone to block them, while throwing thermite onto the ground and igniting it, creating a fierce wall of fire in an attempt to stop the Growth.

Even though he overclocked the computer with military-grade plug-ins, he still underestimated the professor's speed.

laugh--

The professor charged through the wall of fire, a layer of paint peeling off his multi-layered armor. The robust body was burned by the high temperature of over 3,000 degrees Celsius, instantly causing dehydration, scalding, and shrinkage. However, the contact time was too short to cause serious damage.

It raised its claws and instantly grabbed Du Zexin's neck, but as it tried to tear Du Zexin's armor apart, the latter's electronic eyes suddenly lit up with a scarlet light.

[Beautiful Wish BETA - Overclocking] Sizzle! The pale and plain armor suddenly burst open, unleashing terrifying heat radiation. Dozens of heat dissipation vents instantly spewed out hot air, and the originally simple and unadorned armor curled outwards, instantly becoming wild and violent.

*Snap! Bionic Muscle was fully charged, and under the AI's overclocked computation, it delivered a powerful punch to the path that the growing ones were bound to take.

"Um?!"

The strong one stopped in time, but the narrow space left her with nowhere to retreat—behind her was a wall of fire, and in front of her was only Du Zexin's corner.

'So that's how it is—his plan was to lure the enemy into a trap!'

The professor gave the other person an appreciative look. "It's amazing that an educational environment like Frostplate could produce such a smart person as you, and such an outstanding child as Li Aoz."

Du Zexin was under immense load, with cables and heat pipes protruding, and the [Beautiful Wish] armor revealed a crimson hydraulic skeletal structure beneath, radiating a warning light.

"Sorry, I studied at university through correspondence courses. It has nothing to do with Frostplate's education."

And this is his true image.

Snap! The blade-shaped antenna on its head instantly split in two, splitting into two dark gold V-shaped antennas. The previously sealed faceplate cracked open, revealing a heat dissipation vent.

But that dark arc looked like a demon smiling.

He tossed aside the Magnum Plasma Gun, his gauntlets flipped outwards, the dark gold Titanium Alloy joints forming a knuckle duster structure.

[Bionic Muscle Charging - Maximum Output] The exoskeleton on the arm turned crimson due to overheating and slammed down hard on the professor who had nowhere to escape!

The prerequisite for [Peaceful Iron Fist] to run fast is that there is space for you to run.

As the electronic smoke screen opened, the mobile bunker also pressed in, and under the AI's overclocked computing power, it had no choice but to take the punch squarely.

Boom! In an instant, the Strongman was hit in the arm and sent flying. Its back was instantly engulfed by the thermite fire wall. The electromagnetic magic in the electronic smoke screen was fully absorbed by the bio-engineered creature, severely interfering with its remote control effectiveness.

Now!

Li Aoz charged forward, and thanks to the time bought by Mouldy Crotch and the effect of the [Mechanic] spell, he was finally able to catch up with his opponent.

Sever Life

A nerve tendril sprang from his palm, instantly piercing the other person's neck and leaving a mark on their body.

"Oh? This is your new Aoneng."

The survivor was astonished; her regenerative abilities were suppressed, and tentacles wrapped around her body at such close range.

Before she could break free, Li Aoz stabbed her in the heart, pinned her to the ground, and began to drain her life force.

Because the difference in their health points was so great, Li Aoz only needed to attack for a second to fully restore the health bar he had just lost.

'I chose this Aoneng just to beat you up!'

[Sever Life] deals percentage-based damage based on the user's maximum health, plus the effects of Gravity Acceleration and [Soul-Inscribed Sword Saint — Wargod], resulting in 674 damage in just one second.

Just as the professor was about to tear the tentacles apart, Li Aoz twisted his wrist.

Directional Demolition

Bang! [Weakness attack! Thermal attacks deal an additional 50% damage to [Biochemist]!]

-278!

Even though it had been weakened by the opponent's Extraordinary Physique, this blow, aimed right at the heart and lungs, instantly turned the upper body of the strongman into a bloody mess.

At this point, the bio-engineer's simulated health bar was completely shattered by him and Du Zexin! The robust one, whose recovery was prohibited and whose movement was restricted, was not as tough and resilient as the previous Infant Eater's body, and was quickly surrounded and attacked by Li Aoz and the rushing Du Zexin.

Even so, the Strong One broke free of its restraints. It shoved Li Aoz aside with a sudden shoulder bump, drew the long sword from its chest, ducked to avoid Du Zexin's suppressive fire, and resumed its high-speed movement, heading towards the open area.

"Quick, chase after her! Don't let her get away!"

"Wait, Li Aoz, you're not her match—"

Li Aoz drew his chain, activated [Iterative Movement], and chased after him. He leaped high into the air, stretching the chain into a spear from behind, attempting to pierce his opponent—but the chain softened as soon as it approached, thanks to the Anti-Gravity System, and lightly patted his opponent's shoulder.

"Oh wow~"
