Mutant Mutants

The escaped prisoners were all equipped with tracking devices, and Xiao He didn't even need to personally intervene; the Yinglong Robot alone could have brought them back. However, Xiao He still decided to personally capture these escapees. These newcomers dared to run away because they hadn't experienced the power of "Yinglong."

This time, Xiao He made these newcomers realize how terrifying he was.

Yousuli's heart skipped a beat: Xiao He had completely expressed his concerns.

If we were to convert Yousuli's Superpower into a specific value, it would probably be equivalent to two thousand in initial capital. As for Xiao He? In terms of Superpower, calling him the "world's richest man" is not an exaggeration at all.

"Physical constitution" and "Psychokinesis" are just his most basic form of wealth, but Superpower like "Perfect Cube" and "Kinetic Energy Absorption" are priceless treasures like "antique paintings".

Therefore, given Yousuli's Superpower, using Superpower on Xiao He is essentially like a small Loan Sharking lending money to the world's richest man... How could that possibly bring Xiao He down?

Xiao He stood there for another minute. Yousuli used "Debt Borrowing" on him twice, without even draining his most basic physical constitution. Instead, Xiao He took this opportunity to thoroughly understand Yousuli's Superpower.

To put it simply, it's the same principle as lending money: you give your power to the enemy as a form of "Debt Borrowing," and then set a Loan Repayment period in advance. The shorter the Loan Repayment period, the higher the interest collected each time; but the longer the Loan Repayment period, although the interest collected each time will be less, the total interest collected will be much higher. In addition, the more power you lend out, the more interest you will accrue.

However, this ability has a major flaw: Yousuli is too weak in the early stages of its Superpower.

Yousuli's power was already weak, and lending it to others made him even more vulnerable. Although he could "Loan Repayment" others' Superpower, these Superpower weren't his, he wasn't familiar with how to use Superpower, and the Superpower he borrowed were consumables—once used, they were gone.

However, the Superpower stolen from enemies can be used as "capital" for Yousuli to "Debt Borrowing" from, which is Yousuli's greatest strength. If he has enough time to accumulate enough power from other Mutant, he might even pose a threat to Xiao He... Of course, it's only a possibility.

After all, with enough Trigger, even the combined Superpower of all the Mutant in the world wouldn't be as Superpower as his. Now Xiao He wanted to see what Superpower this guy could trigger for him, but he dared not trouble his ancestor at home.

His little darling is waiting for him to come back and be affectionate; this isn't the time for play.

"Tsk, do you mean you're the 'world's richest' among the Mutant? Don't fucking look down on people!" Yousuli roared angrily, then rushed towards Xiao He and punched Xiao He in the face.

"Too many unnecessary movements, a complete mess." Xiao He shook his head and sighed, dodging Yousuli's punch by the side, and then striking Yousuli's chin with his elbow. The two of them froze in place. After a while, Yousuli's eyes rolled back, and he slowly knelt down and fainted.

The scene fell silent: a single blow had knocked Yousuli down.

"That's why I said that," Xiao He shook his head and sighed, "You didn't even take away a third of my 'physical constitution' during the two 'Debt Borrowing' sessions, let alone my other Superpower. What's the point of fighting? Your capital is too—too—small."

Having said that, Xiao He prepared to dispel the barrier of his Psychokinesis, but in the instant he relaxed his guard, Yousuli sprang to his feet with lightning speed, his hand transforming into a golden blade that pierced Xiao He's abdomen. He laughed triumphantly, "Haha! What a load of bull! No matter how much money you have, how can you spend it when you're dead?!"

"It's better than having people still alive but losing all the money, right?" Xiao He asked with a hint of amusement.

Yousuli was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his arm and realized that it hadn't pierced Xiao He's muscle. He exclaimed in astonishment, "Hey, really?! This is the 'Holy Sword' I ripped off with 'Loan Sharking'!"

"Really? No wonder you're so powerful. This is the first time I've seen someone make my muscles deform." Xiao He said with interest, then launched a backhand strike. Xiao He used all his strength in this strike, and in that instant, Yousuli felt that Xiao He was radiating a "swearing to kill" aura, a ferocity that "Yinglong" had never shown in the arena.

"Wait, wait a minute..." Before he could finish speaking, Yousuli was struck by the backhand blow and fell headfirst to the ground. His body sank more than half a meter into the ground, and then slid backward for four or five meters before stopping. The strong tremor was felt even by the tourists outside the barrier.

When Yousuli stopped, only his two legs remained on the ground; his body was buried under rubble.

Xiao He lifted Yousuli from under the rubble. "Oh? You're still alive? I used all my strength. You must have extracted quite a bit of Superpower from me, otherwise you would have been turned into mincemeat by now."

"Uh, uh..." At this moment, Yousuli only had the strength to groan in Xiao He's hands.

However, since he had extracted a considerable amount of Superpower from Xiao He, this attack, while injuring him, was not life-threatening. This way, Xiao He wouldn't be unable to explain himself to the M Country.

Then Yousuli lost consciousness in Xiao He's hands, and Xiao He also felt his Superpower return.

"Will the exploited Superpower be returned after being defeated? After all, 'Loan Sharking' isn't protected by law," Xiao He chuckled, then activated "Entropy Reduction" to repair the damaged road surface. Only then did he deactivate the Superpower Defense Barrier and wave to the tourists around him. "Alright, everyone, go on your way. Eat and have fun."

Xiao He, using his Dimensional Walker, leaped with Yousuli to the entrance of the M Country's rest area in the Mutant Arena. He left Yousuli at the door and instructed the two M Country security personnel, "Take him for treatment. If you have any questions, consult the Special Response Department."

As he spoke, Xiao He said coldly, "In this arena, I am a participant, so I will play along with your 'friendship first, competition second' game. But outside this arena, I am 'Yinglong,' and I will deal with any who disrupt the Dragon Country's order without mercy. You should relay these words verbatim to your Mutant."

Before leaving, Xiao He added in a low, menacing voice, "Keep your Mutant in check, or I'll take charge of disciplining them..."

"Okay, okay!" the two replied hastily. Xiao He's last sentence terrified them. They were actually Mutant as well, but their strength was only between LV2 and LV3. Therefore, they were only accompanying the group as security personnel and were not even considered as participants.

After Yinglong left, the two realized they were drenched in a cold sweat and their legs were trembling.

Xiao He, on the other hand, was rather annoyed. "This trivial matter has delayed my intimate moment with my Xiaoqing..."

"Hey, Sister Man, it's all settled. No, he's still alive, don't worry..." Xiao He briefly reported the situation to Cui Man, and then used the Dimensional Walker to return home.

However, he didn't rush to leave the Dimensional Walker Plane, but instead watched his girlfriend from across a plane.

Ye Wanqing sat on the bed watching a drama, but seemed a little restless.

"Why isn't he back yet, you stinky pig..." Ye Wanqing muttered impatiently, biting her thumb.

"Hehe, this little cutie." Xiao He walked over to Ye Wanqing, wanting to see what Ye Wanqing did while he was away. Ye Wanqing then grabbed her phone and checked the time, her anxious expression suddenly making Xiao He feel a pang of sympathy. But then, Ye Wanqing suddenly looked up at him and asked suspiciously, "Old Xiao? Are you back?"

Xiao He's heart skipped a beat, and he emerged from the Dimensional Plane.

"Old Xiao!" Ye Wanqing's face lit up with joy, and she rushed over to hug his neck. "You're really back!"

"How did you know I was back?" Xiao He gently cupped her cheeks and smiled.

"I just had a feeling..." Ye Wanqing said with a smile, her happiness visibly evident.

"Perhaps this is love," Xiao He chuckled, leaning in to kiss Ye Wanqing's lips. Ye Wanqing responded willingly, intending to continue their previous intimacy, but Xiao He reached out and pressed his hand against her nose. "I'm going to take a shower, I'll be right back."

"Mmm..." Ye Wanqing nodded shyly, "Hurry up..."

Inside the public lounge of M Country.

"What happened to this guy?" Mike Nader asked, staring at Yousuli, who had been carried to him, his face bruised and swollen, and unconscious. Two security personnel stepped forward and whispered an explanation, "Well, according to the Dragon Country's Special Response Department, it's..."

"What!? He got drunk and caused trouble, and then Yinglong took care of him!?" Mike Nader roared angrily. "What is this idiot doing!? I clearly told him to behave himself during this period! This isn't the M Country!"

"Making a scene is a small matter, the real problem is losing face for our M Country," said Sebastian, the Balance Man, coldly, arms crossed. "Being beaten to this state by 'Yinglong' in front of so many people and then dumped at the entrance of the athletes' rest area... If this gets reported, won't we become a laughing stock for other countries?"

"Get to the public relations department ready immediately! Smear Yinglong before other countries' media even report on it! Say he took advantage of Yousuli's drunkenness to kill him, showing absolutely no sportsmanship!" Mike Nader ordered his men.

At that moment, Balance Man stepped forward and slapped Yousuli across the face, waking him up.

"Drink!" Yousuli woke up with a start, then backed away from the bed in terror. Balance Man looked down at him and said coldly, "Well done, you've completely disgraced our M Country Team."

"Well, I just..." Yousuli thought for a moment and replied, "I actually went to gather intelligence! I had been drinking, and I was just trying to pick up a pretty girl and caused a little trouble, but I didn't expect to attract Yinglong. I thought I might as well get some information about Yinglong for our Lord Sebastian, so..."

"So? What did you find?" Balance Man asked Yousuli coldly.

"That guy definitely has more than one Superpower!" Yousuli replied, "And each one is incredibly powerful! When I activated the Debt Borrowing, the feeling was... it was like trying to pump out the entire ocean with a water pump. Even if I forcibly lent him all my Superpower, the interest I charged was just a drop in the ocean... That person is truly terrifying!"

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Ruiwen stepped forward, grabbed Yousuli, and asked coldly, "We already know all this! I think you're just drunk and getting carried away, aren't you?"

"Really." Another female Mutant dressed in a revealing, tight-fitting white hero costume scoffed. "You're patheticly weak, yet you love causing trouble everywhere. Have you forgotten that once you're defeated, Superpower you exploited with Loan Sharking sharks will disappear? Now you have even less 'capital,' so won't you be even more useless in the upcoming matches?"

"Don't say that, Rhea. Aren't there even more useless guys out there...?" Yousuli replied unhappily.

"You mean this guy?" A young woman shrouded in a purple robe turned to look at the Werewolf Victor, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Victor, with his fiery temper, slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What the hell did you say?! Taro!"

"What's there to be angry about? I'm just telling the truth," the witch in the purple robes sneered. Victor roared, his skin gradually turning pale, his eyes turning bloodshot. "You all think I'm useless if I don't fight seriously?"

"Calm down." Balance Man raised his hand to stop him. "We've already made a huge fool of ourselves; we can't keep fighting amongst ourselves and giving everyone more to laugh at. Let's leave it at that for now, and we'll get our revenge during the match. But..."

Balance Man stared at Yousuli and said coldly, "There absolutely cannot be a second time. Otherwise, I will use M Country Team captain's privileges to remove you from the team. Anyway, there are plenty of people who can replace you."

"Yes--!" Yousuli rolled his eyes and replied listlessly, then muttered under his breath, "You self-important brat, if it weren't for needing you to deal with Yinglong, do you think you'd have your current status...?"

"Seriously, you can't beat him, you have absolutely no chance." Raven Ruiwen leaned in and laughed. "No matter how many Superpower you get through 'Forced Lending,' you can't possibly beat him. So... be honest, you piece of trash."

After the Group B matches concluded and a day of rest followed, the second week began.

Today, the team matches for Group A will begin, so Xiao He and Ye Wanqing have come to the arena. Just like the previous arena matches, today the Dragon Country will be playing against all five teams at once.

However, the format of the team competition and the arena competition is slightly different. Although both consist of three matches, the composition of the players can be adjusted for each match.

"It's finally my turn to step up!" Yue Feng roared through gritted teeth. "I've been watching the matches for a week, and my hands are itching to play! Come on, let me take the stage for the first match!"

Cui Man glanced sideways at Yue Feng, arms crossed, her index finger lightly tapping her forearm, seemingly considering the matter. After thinking for a while, Cui Man replied, "Alright, then for the first match, you, 'Horned Dragon,' and 'Feilian' will go first together."

"Horned Dragon, serpent?" Xiao He raised an eyebrow, then turned to Qin Weize and Li Xue.

"That's right, it's me..." Qin Weize pointed to himself and smiled awkwardly, "Although I don't know the reason."

"A dragon becomes Horned Dragon after five hundred years, and Yinglong after one thousand years," Cui Man explained with a smile. "If you want to become a Yinglong, start as Horned Dragon. Isn't that what you want?"

Qin Weize nodded repeatedly, then Cui Man turned to Li Xue: "Feilian, Fengbo, is a perfect code name for you, don't you think? You two have been training for a long time now, but you still need to participate in actual combat to improve. Team matches are different from arena matches; the three of you can take care of each other and make up for each other's weaknesses."

After the participants were decided, everyone waited for the sponsors and advertising copy to finish.

"Oh, and by the way, Happy Women's Day to all the ladies," Cui Man suddenly added. "Today happens to be March 8th."

"Our little one celebrates Children's Day," Xiao He said with a smile, patting Ye Wanqing's head.

"Tsk." Ye Wanqing gave him a playful elbow, muttering under her breath, "You've tormented me so many times already, and you call this Children's Day... You should be celebrating Women's Day."

Although she said that, there was a faint smile on her lips, clearly indicating that she was quite happy.

After the opening remarks, the members from both sides began preparing to take the stage.

"Don't feel pressured, I'm here for you," Xiao He waved to the crowd reassuringly. "Just do your best."

"I always feel very reliable with Yinglong around." Li Xue winked at him, Ye Wanqing immediately stepped in front of him.

The first opponent is the Australian Team. Of the three players they fielded, only Black Witch was someone they had seen before; Scorpio Scott and Iron Man were not included. In fact, Iron Man's abilities are very suitable for team matches.

"Two newcomers are coming up, so be careful," Cui Man reminded them, pressing her earpiece. "Feilian and Horned Dragon can stay in the back for now, let Qiongqi test the opponent's abilities, and then..."

But before Cui Man could finish speaking, Yue Feng roared and charged at the three opponents like a tank.

"Qiongqi, follow orders!" Cui Man roared angrily into the walkie-talkie, but Yue Feng had already gone up.

A male Mutant, completely shrouded in a yellow robe, raised his hand to Yue Feng. Dozens of octopus tentacles then emerged from his sleeves and wrapped around Yue Feng's body. This Mutant's nickname was "Hastur," and it seemed his Superpower was to summon octopuses. The dense octopus tentacles completely enveloped Yue Feng.

Yue Feng encountered only slight resistance before breaking through the encirclement formed by the tentacles and continuing to approach the three. Seeing this, the last Mutant raised his hand towards Yue Feng, and several golden chains fell from the sky, binding Yue Feng's hands and feet.

"This Mutant's nickname is Chain God," Cui Man explained with a frown, "Is a Level 5 Mutant that the M Country bought from Brazil."

"Is the Superpower just summoning chains?" Xiao He asked with a dry laugh. Although he didn't remember the Mutant, he did remember the chain. He had been chained by this golden chain during the restaurant riot.

However, these chains could be broken. Yue Feng struggled to take a step forward, and one of the golden chains on his body snapped with a "ding!" But Chain God immediately replaced it. Judging from this, his Superpower could only summon a fixed number of chains.

Xiao He roughly counted them; there were seven chains in total. Each time one broke, Chain God would be added to replace it.

Bound by seven golden chains, even Yue Feng's forward speed was slowed down, and he eventually came to a stop.

"Just grab him like that!" the Black Witch instructed, then fused the fire and lightning elements gathered in his hands and blasted them towards Yue Feng: "Twin Dragon Strike!"

The thunder dragon and the fire dragon intertwined and spiraled together, slamming into Yue Feng's chest. Flames and lightning instantly engulfed Yue Feng's massive body, and a pillar of fire, entangled in lightning, flew into the air.

But the next moment, Yue Feng burst out from behind the flames and roared as he crashed into Hastur.

The yellow robe shattered instantly, Hastur was smashed into pieces by Yue Feng. However, the pieces of flesh quickly transformed into octopuses of various sizes, which then coalesced behind Yue Feng and reformed into human form.

"It's so sticky and disgusting..." Ye Wanqing turned her head and buried her face in Xiao He's chest. "No, I can't stand it anymore!"

"I'm craving takoyaki..." Xiao He thought to himself, stroking the back of Ye Wanqing's head. At this moment, Yue Feng didn't stop, but instead slid forward, then made a sharp turn and accelerated towards the Chain God and the Black Witch behind him.

This time, the Chain God laid out seven golden chains in front of them, intending to stop Yue Feng. However, Yue Feng's speed had already reached approximately 100 meters per second in eight or nine seconds, and his impact was naturally quite terrifying. These fragile chains didn't seem capable of stopping Yue Feng. However, Xiao He noticed a detail: the chains had become thinner.

"Is he trying to turn the chains into blades, so that Yue Feng will cut him to pieces when he crashes into them?" Xiao He wondered to himself.

The chains summoned by the Chain God connect heaven and earth at their two ends, presumably symbolizing the Infinity "binding force" at both ends of the chains, though the chains themselves can be destroyed. However, if the chains are shrunk thin enough, they can become sharp blades against fast-moving enemies.

However, just as he was about to collide with the chains, Yue Feng suddenly slid forward and to the left, then pushed off the ground with force, maintaining this high speed to make a sharp turn, bypassing the chains and crashing into the Black Witch behind him.

"Wow, this guy's got some good training..." Xiao He thought to himself with interest.

The Black Witch was also startled, never expecting that Yue Feng, with his physique, could turn so quickly. She only had time to unleash the flames and lightning in her hands, which hadn't yet reached their maximum capacity, onto Yue Feng's face before he crashed into Yue Feng.

The Black Witch let out a scream and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

"Tsk, this guy actually went easy on me," Xiao He frowned and muttered.

Before colliding with the Black Witch, Yue Feng slammed on the brakes, stopping most of the impact. Otherwise, with Yue Feng's strength, he could have easily smashed the Black Witch into pieces. However, this was to comply with the rules of the competition.

Yue Feng had only fought Xiao He in a formal battle before, so no one had a real idea of Yue Feng's strength. But Xiao He knew very well that Yue Feng's strength was equal to his own and that he could easily turn the other Mutant in the arena into mincemeat.

However, the Black Witch's attack was not without effect. The initial Twin Dragon Strike injured Yue Feng's back, resulting in extensive burns on his back, but his front remained unharmed.

Xiao He wasn't sure if anyone else had noticed this detail, but in any case, the situation on the field was now quite clear.

"One will end up the same way, and there are two more." Yue Feng turned around and stared at the Chain God and Hastur.

The Chain God spat in displeasure, turned to look at the Black Witch behind him, then took a step forward. Golden chains automatically appeared under his feet, and he stepped onto the chains that had appeared out of thin air, rising into the air. He then grabbed a chain and slid down from above, aiming directly at Qin Weize and Li Xue, who were observing the situation behind Yue Feng.

Xiao He could understand his thinking: their side had suffered losses, so they needed to reduce the number of people in the Dragon Country's army as soon as possible.

Hastur knew the purpose of the Chain God, so he turned to Li Xue and Qin Weize and raised his hands. Octopus tentacles wrapped around the two of them. But this time, the ends of the tentacles suddenly opened, revealing a hideous, blood-red maw.

"What do you mean!? You think I'm easy to bully?" Li Xue said irritably, waving her hands and sending two powerful hurricanes flying towards the octopus tentacles, shredding them into pieces like a meat grinder. But the pieces of flesh on the ground immediately turned into octopuses of all sizes, crawling towards Li Xue. Li Xue clapped her hands together, and two Tornado appeared on the field.

The two Tornado swirled and danced across the field, shredding the octopuses on the ground. Those octopuses that had separated from Hastur were killed and could no longer split.

"I'll defeat him!" Qin Weize said, unleashing a shockwave with his left hand towards the ground, propelling himself into the air. He then unleashed another shockwave mid-air, dodging the oncoming chains and rapidly approaching the Chain God in the sky.

The Chain God erected a large array of chains in front of him, blocking Qin Weize's approach. Qin Weize reached out his left hand, grabbed the chains, and thrust the impact into their interior. The chains shattered and disintegrated from the inside out. Then, Qin Weize used his right hand to unleash an impact that struck the Chain God in mid-air. He placed his hand on the Chain God's chest, and a shockwave spread outwards.

"Ugh!" The Chain God spat out a large mouthful of gas, and the two fell from mid-air to the ground.

"Caught!" Li Xue summoned a hurricane to catch the two of them. However, at this moment, Hastur had somehow transformed into a field of small octopuses, which gathered behind her. More than a dozen sharp octopus tentacles emerged from under her yellow robe and pounced on Li Xue.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Yue Feng said irritably, slapping Hastur on the waist.

This attack sent Hastur flying, crashing into the arena wall with a "thud" and turning him into a pile of minced flesh, but he quickly reformed into Hastur's original form.

"What I hate most are those lowlifes who sneak up on you from behind!" Yue Feng spat angrily.

"It's not over yet!" Li Xue said, suddenly adjusting the angle of her arm. The hurricane that caught Qin Weize suddenly turned in mid-air and sent him toward Hastur.

"Well done!" Qin Weize exclaimed, extending his right hand to Hastur.

Hastur looked up at Qin Weize, then suddenly lifted his cloak, unleashing countless tentacles that transformed into sharp spikes that lunged at Qin Weize. Li Xue reacted swiftly, summoning a hurricane around Qin Weize to deflect the spikes, while Qin Weize seized the opportunity to push Hastur away.

"Take this, my Maximum Wheel Impact!" Qin Weize shouted, injecting the shockwave into Hastur's body.

The impact didn't penetrate Hastur's body, but instead continued to pound inside him, causing Hastur to tremble and retreat, shaking as if he were performing a robot dance. In no time, all the octopuses on his body were shaken off.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old Asian girl emerged from under the yellow robe, her face contorted in pain. Then, with a "whoosh!" she vomited up all of her dinner from the night before, looking at Qin Weize with a pitiful expression, her eyes flashing with rage.

Qin Weize never dreamed that beneath those disgusting, slimy tentacles would be such a beautiful girl, and he froze on the spot. The girl pouted and cried out in grievance, "You're bullying me! Waaah!"

"I see, it's the number of attacks..." Xiao He suddenly realized.

Hastur's ability seems quite overpowered at first glance—she can survive being torn to pieces—but in reality, her ability to withstand attacks depends on the number of hits. Once a certain number of hits are reached, the outer "skin" of her body can be peeled off. To be fair, this ability is indeed quite strong, especially when you don't know how to break through her defenses.

However, just when everyone thought the outcome was decided, the girl was suddenly enveloped by a layer of dark aura, and her body began to change, quickly transforming into a yellow-robed creature over ten meters tall.

Although it appears to be in human form, octopus tentacles emerge from the hem of its yellow robe.

"This Superpower ..." Cui Man frowned, "is that of the Yellow-Robed Lord, 'Hastur,' whose Superpower is 'Descent.'"

"Like Liu Yufei, Superpower to summon Old God to Descent upon him..." Xiao He thought to himself, "I really want to Assimilation it over, but unfortunately, I can't maintain it for long."

However, Yue Feng showed no intention of backing down when facing Hastur.

"Now that's more like it!" Yue Feng wiped his mask, then roared as he charged towards Hastur. When he was about ten meters away from Hastur, he leaped forward. "Hey, brat, give me a ride!"
