As the scene before his eyes shifted once more, Ren Ze had no time to regret that Alice had not returned with him to the Swallowed Star World. A sense of crisis instantly engulfed his heart!
Whoosh!
Ren Ze immediately deployed a Psychic Power shield and charged toward the nearest cover—an abandoned building.
Bang!
As the Psychic Power shield was pierced, Ren Ze could barely make out the bullet's trajectory. With a flash, he dodged without breaking stride and finally rushed behind an abandoned low-rise building. Only then did the thunderous report of the sniper rifle reach him!
"Good. I know which direction you're in now!"
Ren Ze had already been in a foul mood. He had been happily cutting down monsters and leveling up when a sniper rifle suddenly took a shot at him!
Being forced into the Resident Evil World was one thing. He had finally met a companion who suited his temperament and could roam the world at his side, only for the Star Map to forcibly separate them.
He could settle old and new grudges together. After a brief adjustment, he charged at top speed toward the cluster of high-rises where the bullet had come from.
"Damn it! He was clearly only a mid-level War General before, but the speed he's displaying now is nearly at the level of a God of War! Ah Kai, stop him from getting closer at all costs! Everyone else, stay alert! Be ready to blanket the area with fire at any time!"
The captain on the high-rise was pale with terror. When normal people discovered they were being targeted by a sniper, shouldn't they run as far away as possible?
He was alone—what gave him the nerve to charge over here?
But now that things had come to this, even if the other side truly was a God of War-level expert, they had no choice but to see it through. So what if he was a God of War-level expert? They had so many people and so many firearms. Were they supposed to fear one man?
This round, the advantage is mine!
Amid several booming shots, Ren Ze evaded the sniper fire. As the distance closed, he had already pinpointed the team's exact location.
But what greeted him was a hail of bullets!
Under normal circumstances, Ren Ze might have used a more prudent method to deal with his enemies.
But the violent rage in his heart desperately needed an outlet. Besides, he wanted to test where his limits lay!
With slight adjustments to his footwork, Ren Ze dodged one sniper round after another. Blade light flashed through his hand as he sent every rifle bullet that had pierced his Psychic Power shield, its speed greatly reduced, flying away with a slash. Before long, he reached the foot of the high-rise, in a blind spot outside their firing range.
On the rooftop, every member of the squad had tensely aimed at the rooftop's only stairwell, ready to fight to the death!
Yet Ren Ze silently flew behind them while standing atop a shield, nine throwing knives slowly circling around him!
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
As bodies fell one after another, the strongest among them, the captain, managed to turn around in the final instant before his death. He had not turned far enough, but he still saw the bloodstained throwing knives and understood exactly what kind of existence his team had provoked!
"A God of War-level Psychic Master..."
Boundless regret flooded his heart. Then he lost his last shred of consciousness, and the area that had just been ablaze with gunfire returned to silence.
"A bunch of broke bastards!"
After reaching the rooftop, Ren Ze found that there was no need to clean up the battlefield at all...
Silently setting down his backpack, he took out the laptop inside. It powered on normally, but when he tried to call Bai Yi, there was no response whatsoever...
He did not know whether it was because the program could not operate independently across worlds, or because artificial intelligence also counted as life and thus could not be brought over...
Although Ren Ze had guessed this possibility from the start, he still felt stifled. Perhaps after crossing several more worlds, he might be able to return to Resident Evil. But how many years would that be?
The most painful part was that he could not even find anyone to share these troubles with. He could only bear everything silently by himself.
"A cheat? Heh. Maybe I'm just a pawn."
Ren Ze thought of many things at once. It was not as though he did not know about the Void True God in the Swallowed Star World. Out of boredom, with a casual move, he had made an ordinary person spend an entire lifetime in an illusion and successfully grow into an Immortal!
At present, his Star Map had only made him experience two worlds, yet it was obvious that he was being manipulated by an invisible hand.
Compared to the many novels he had read, this Star Map that could travel through countless worlds imposed virtually no restrictions on him. It left him entirely to his own devices. Yet it still made Ren Ze wary. This separation from Alice had filled him with even greater suspicion.
"There's no such thing as a free lunch..."
Ren Ze muttered. He knew he had far too few clues to deduce the mastermind's purpose, but there were only a few possibilities: some kind of inherited lineage, a mighty being possessing his body for rebirth, the casual game of some higher-dimensional powerhouse...
But such thoughts were still too distant from him. What he could do now was keep growing stronger—at the very least, strong enough to control his own fate...
On the first day after his return, when Ren Ze cultivated the Genetic Energy Cultivation Method again, it felt as though he were a beginner. Every cell in his body was like parched earth receiving sweet rain!
His body, which had hungered for so long in the Resident Evil World, was finally satisfied!
In the days that followed, he cultivated at least three times a day, each session lasting over an hour. Only then did his entire body become brimming with energy.
Originally, Ren Ze cultivated the Yijin Jing twice a day in conjunction with the Genetic Energy Cultivation Method. After roughly thirty minutes each time, the energy his body absorbed would already be saturated.
Other than returning to Bright Moon Residential Quarter on his first day back to put the things Alice had packed for him in his villa as keepsakes, Ren Ze threw himself back into the Wilderness Zone.
City 023 did not disappoint Ren Ze either.
War General-level monsters were everywhere.
After returning this time, Ren Ze refused to use Psychic Power unless absolutely necessary. He specifically sought out all kinds of high-level War General monsters to fight, beginning to unearth the full potential of his body after fusing with the T-Virus!
He was also able to continuously break through his limits in battle, further mastering the force-generation techniques of the fourth layer of Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.
Time passed day by day amid this tedious cultivation and slaughter. Ren Ze had no intention of hiding his strength. He sold all his spoils to the Limit Dojo. He also happened to need the later techniques of Nine-Layered Thunder Blade. After adapting to his vastly increased strength in the Wilderness Zone, it was time to visit the God of War Training Camp.
At the headquarters plaza of the Limit Dojo in Jiangnan Base City.
The president of the Limit General Dojo and his three department heads were all waiting.
"President, do you know which special envoy headquarters has sent this time?"
Zhuge Tao asked the burly man before him.
This man was Zhou Zhengyong, known as "Iron Hand," the chief president of the Limit Dojo in all of Jiangnan Base City and a War God-level powerhouse.
Hearing his capable subordinate's question, Zhou Zhengyong smiled. "After you reported Ren Ze's situation, headquarters attached great importance to it."
"This time, it should be a special envoy beyond the War God level. We'll know once they arrive."
Over this period, Ren Ze had continuously sold monster materials, raising his martial artist certification to the high-level War General rank. After the staff discovered this, they reported it to Zhuge Tao.
Greatly shocked, Zhuge Tao did not dare delay. After carefully checking the records, he discovered that Ren Ze had already sold materials from nearly a hundred high-level beast general monsters of various kinds. He immediately reported it to global headquarters. Combined with the previous betting agreement, headquarters responded with unusual speed this time, immediately dispatching a special envoy to conduct an audit.
Just then—
Boom! The air suddenly trembled.
A purplish-red streak appeared above the crowd almost in the blink of an eye. It then rapidly decelerated, passed through the city's defense system, and slowly descended vertically.
It was a purplish-red triangular fighter jet, the purplish-red light reflected from its body sending chills through everyone's hearts.
"Is that the Blood Red Fighter used by the Dojo Master's guards?"
Seeing the purplish-red triangular fighter appear, Zhou Zhengyong cried out in a low voice.
"The Dojo Master!"
The moment those words were spoken, the expressions of the three department heads beside him, including Zhou Zhengyong himself, immediately turned solemn.
There was only one person whom he, the chief president of the Limit Dojo in Jiangnan Base City, could call the "Dojo Master."
The undisputed strongest person on Earth, the founder of the Limit Dojo—Hong!
The strongest human on Earth today!
As the guards of this strongest man, every one of them possessed strength beyond the War God level.
Moreover, at certain times, their actions represented Hong's will.
Hiss!
The fighter's hatch opened, extending a staircase passage.
"Welcome, Special Envoy!"
A man in a gray robe walked out. His presence was icy and severe, and he wore a golden mask over his face.
Seeing the four people below, he nodded and said to Zhou Zhengyong, "I will be responsible for auditing your Jiangnan Base City dojo's application for Ren Ze's place in the Elite Training Camp."
Ordinarily, although places in the Elite Training Camp were extremely precious and even required a Patrol Inspector beyond the War God level from headquarters to make the final decision, an audit only required a War God-level special envoy.
However, the circumstances reported regarding Ren Ze this time were simply too unusual.
At only nineteen years old, his physical fitness had reached the intermediate warrior level. Not only had he mastered the twofold force technique and attained the Subtle level in movement technique, but in just over three months, he had completed the betting agreement and been recognized as a high-level War General martial artist through his battle record. This was even more astonishing than having physical fitness at the high-level War General rank.
If all of this were true, then this young man named Ren Ze possessed comprehension talent worthy of an unparalleled genius.
It was said that even the chief dojo master, Hong, had been alerted. He was curious whether Ren Ze, who had completed the betting agreement in just over three months, was a true genius or merely relying on his family's influence to fabricate achievements and draw attention in an attempt to secure a place in the Elite Training Camp.
Now, Iceberg, one of the Dojo Master's three great guards, had appeared here.
