Space Watch

"Boom!"

A tremendous crash rang out, and the two figures were sent flying backward at the same time.

Su Ming fell onto the ground. He felt a searing pain throughout his body and realized that he had probably suffered severe injuries in that exchange.

However... the killer opposite him was in an even worse state.

He, too, had been sent flying. When he got back to his feet, one arm hung limply from his shoulder, completely devoid of strength!

That arm had actually been broken in the exchange!

The killer stared at Su Ming in shock, then fixed his gaze on the Mechanical Arm in Su Ming's hand.

"Wasn't your Brain Domain Level -3? Why can you... unleash such powerful attacks now?"

Deep confusion flashed through the killer's eyes.

He had never imagined that Su Ming had raised his Brain Domain Level and become a Gene Warrior who had developed his brain domain!

A Level 2 Warrior had confronted a Level 3 Warrior head-on, yet the result was the Level 3 Gene Warrior's arm being broken. It was truly unbelievable.

But in reality...

That was simply how this era was!

Although individual martial strength still held great importance, the combination of technology and the brain domain could also unleash dazzling brilliance!

A Level 2 Gene Warrior could actually contend with a Level 3 Gene Warrior by borrowing a Mechanical Arm with an energy level of 130!

Physical strength was no longer the only factor. Machinery, mechanical materials, mechanical technology, Brain Domain Level, and various other factors gradually played crucial roles in battle.

Even if a Level 3 Gene Warrior possessed a powerful body, without a Brain Domain Level and the ability to interface with machinery, he could still only fight a draw against a Level 2 Gene Warrior who had developed his brain domain!

This result caused a tremendous shock to the mind of this Level 3 lower-grade killer.

Just then, Su Ming frowned. Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a loud "Blech!"

Upon seeing this, the killer's expression shifted, and he immediately realized what had happened.

"Good! I thought you had actually overpowered me. You only relied on the Mechanical Arm's material to keep your arm from being broken, but the enormous recoil still caused severe damage to your body."

"Your internal organs have probably ruptured by now, and your arm is gradually losing its strength!"

The killer's face lit up with delight. His expression turned cold as he charged at Su Ming once more.

So what if he had only one arm left?

As long as he killed his opponent, modern medical technology could even regenerate his severed limb. Why would he care about a broken arm?

Su Ming looked gravely at the killer.

He was right. Although Su Ming's body appeared completely unharmed, his internal organs had already been shattered by the impact.

A Level 2 Gene Warrior could use a Mechanical Arm to withstand a Level 3 Gene Warrior head-on, but there was still an enormous gap between their levels.

If Su Ming had not modified the Mechanical Arm to an energy level of 130, then with its original energy level of 80, this blow would probably have broken his arm outright!

"You're out of options. Even if you force yourself to use the Mechanical Arm, you can't pose much of a threat to me anymore! In the end, you'll still die by my hand!"

The killer was extremely confident. He had killed countless people.

From Su Ming's current condition, he knew that Su Ming had little ability to resist!

He rushed in front of Su Ming and prepared to deliver a fatal blow!

However... at that moment, dazzling starlight suddenly erupted from within Su Ming's body.

Under the radiance of the starlight, the injuries throughout Su Ming's body instantly recovered.

"Beep... Physical Vitality is at 45%. Full recovery will consume 30 Starlight Points. Would you like to proceed?"

"Consume them!"

An unknown exchange quietly took place in Su Ming's mind.

After the starlight faded, Su Ming's physical condition had returned to its peak.

He looked coldly at the killer charging toward him, a trace of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Beep beep beep..."

The Mechanical Arm activated once more, electricity surging wildly through it.

In the next moment, Su Ming raised the Mechanical Arm in his hand and slammed a punch toward the killer under the man's terrified gaze.

"Boom!"

One punch!

The one-armed killer was struck by the Mechanical Arm until his entire body shattered. His body was torn apart by the tremendous force, ripped into pieces, his eyes wide open. He was thoroughly dead!

Su Ming removed the Mechanical Arm and breathed lightly. The final blow had also carried powerful recoil, but fortunately, the Mechanical Arm had absorbed most of it. By the time it reached Su Ming, little remained.

Thus, Su Ming did not vomit blood as violently as before.

Dragging the Mechanical Arm, Su Ming walked over to the killer, then crouched down and searched his body.

"Hm? A Space Watch?"

After searching for a while and finding nothing, Su Ming was puzzled. Then his gaze suddenly landed on a heavily damaged watch on the killer's arm.

Su Ming immediately lifted the arm.

This was a Space Watch, one of the finest inventions since the New Cosmic Era began.

Although it looked like nothing more than a small watch, it contained an independent spatial system. A single watch probably held more than ten cubic meters of space and could store a great many things.

It was also convenient to carry, making it highly suitable for killing and looting...

However... Su Ming glanced at the watch in his hand. No matter how he adjusted it, the watch showed no response.

Su Ming gave a bitter laugh. It had probably been damaged during the exchange just now, and could no longer be used normally.

But it did not matter. As long as the Space Core inside was still intact, the items within would not be lost.

Once he repaired the watch, he would be able to inspect the items inside.

Su Ming glanced at the killer's corpse. After thinking for a moment, he still used the Mechanical Arm to dig a huge hole and buried the body inside.

As for whether anyone would discover it, or whether its discovery would cause trouble, none of that really mattered.

Planet Nop was a planet extremely close to the front lines.

Such planets were non-habitable planets and were already extremely chaotic under normal circumstances.

Moreover, because they were so close to the front lines, even law enforcement could only guarantee order in the normal commercial districts, factories, and workshops.

As for places like these remote wildernesses, several people dying every day was perfectly normal. Who had the time to care about you?

As long as you did not kill someone for no reason in front of a crowd, no trouble would come looking for you.

If he had not been worried about Suri finding evidence and pulling some other trick to scheme against him, Su Ming would not even have bothered burying the body.
