In the narrow, dim corridor.
By the time Wang Zhong had readjusted his stance and turned around, a burly man in a black trench coat and a shattered black mask came into view.
Of course, what caught Wang Zhong's attention most were the brutality in the man's eyes, the blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and the ten fingernails on both hands... now black and sharp.
Brutal! Like a wild beast!
Beast Transformation Potion!
That was Wang Zhong's first reaction upon seeing this beast-like burly man.
"Breathe..."
Standing there, Wang Zhong's breathing gradually steadied. Once he realized that this burly man had likely transformed into a beast after being injected with some kind of potion, he was no longer quite as afraid.
After all, fear often came from the unknown.
Opposite Wang Zhong.
"Breathe!"
"Breathe!"
The black-clad burly man, who looked like a wild beast, panted heavily. He stared fixedly at Wang Zhong with savage eyes. At one point, he swallowed, looking as though he had spotted something delicious!
Wild beasts only liked fresh flesh and blood!
Wild beasts also liked eating people!
Now that living prey was right before him, how could this beast-like man in black possibly let it go?
In the narrow corridor.
After adjusting his breathing, Wang Zhong met the black-clad burly man's savage gaze head-on with eyes full of fighting spirit.
At that instant, a bloodthirsty killing intent surfaced in the black-clad man's eyes.
At that moment.
Once Wang Zhong sensed the black-clad man's killing intent, his body immediately tensed like a bow drawn full of force, maintaining the optimal state to exert strength at any time.
At the same time, Wang Zhong continued to scrutinize the black-clad burly man.
Whether it was the muscular physique so taut that his clothes had become skin-tight, the brutal killing intent filling his eyes, or those fingers that resembled canine claws...
Perhaps Wang Zhong's appraising gaze was simply too intimidating...
"Roar!"
A savage roar echoed through the entire corridor.
The black-clad burly man, who appeared to have taken a [Beast Transformation Potion], immediately roared. His feet stomped fiercely against the ground, his muscles flexed, and he lunged at Wang Zhong like a wild wolf. His arms, with hands like canine claws, viciously clawed toward Wang Zhong's throat.
If nothing unexpected happened, those claws would pierce a human's fragile throat and draw blood.
Watching the black-clad burly man attack like a beast, Wang Zhong remained calm. With the combat techniques of Unarmed Combat LV2 in his mind, his sharp eyes could vaguely track the man's attack trajectory...
Then, as if he had foreseen it in advance, Wang Zhong suddenly leaped to the right. At the same time, he raised his left hand like a black shield across his left side.
Riiip.
In midair, the black-clad burly man leaped over two meters high. His hands, like two terrifying blades, slashed fiercely at the spot where Wang Zhong had been standing.
Riiip!
In an instant, six faint claw marks were carved into the concrete floor of the corridor.
At the same time.
Apparently realizing that Wang Zhong had dodged his killing move, the black-clad burly man roared and instinctively swung his left claw in a vicious sweep.
That muscular left claw struck Wang Zhong's raised left hand squarely. Claw met hand with a crisp crack, and Wang Zhong was violently knocked into the warehouse wall to his right.
One thousand pounds of force!
This black-clad burly man possessed nearly one thousand pounds of strength...
A thought immediately surfaced in Wang Zhong's mind.
After all, Wang Zhong was now a [Level 3 Psionic Warrior], with a full thousand pounds of strength. Since this black-clad burly man had managed to knock him back, it at least meant that the other man possessed strength equal to his own.
"Good!"
With that thought flashing through his mind, Wang Zhong advanced instead of retreating. He gripped the Black Firearm in his right hand, swung his fist, and attacked the black-clad burly man with a cold expression.
Wang Zhong had already noticed that the black-clad burly man seemed to have lost part of his sanity due to the [Beast Transformation Potion].
Under these circumstances, Wang Zhong could have a truly satisfying fight with him.
Level 3 Psionic Warrior VS Level 3 Psionic Warrior!
One hundredth second.
"Smack!"
Wang Zhong and the black-clad burly man each kicked the other, and both were sent flying by the force of the other's powerful leg.
In just sixty seconds, Wang Zhong and the black-clad burly man had exchanged more than twenty moves.
One had decent fighting skills, while the other had the sharp instincts of a wild beast. Their battle was evenly matched, and during that time, Wang Zhong's understanding of Hand-to-Hand Combat LV2 grew increasingly profound.
One hundred fiftieth second.
Wang Zhong panted heavily as he leaned against the wall. Looking at the black-clad burly man, who was still full of vigor, he could not help shaking his head as a second thought formed in his mind.
Sparring was nice, but staying alive came first.
"Ah!"
"What a pity! I'm still a rookie masked vigilante, so I can only fight without honor."
As his thoughts turned, killing intent flashed through Wang Zhong's eyes. Then he quickly retreated. Almost the moment he had backed away several meters, his right hand, which had already been holding the Black Firearm, sprang into action.
Bzzzz.
At once, Wang Zhong raised the Black Firearm, its barrel flickering with strands of blue psionic radiance, and aimed it directly at the black-clad burly man.
Raise the gun, take aim!
Nearby.
The black-clad burly man, whose clothes were now in tatters, saw the Black Firearm Wang Zhong had raised and the blue glow carrying a deadly aura. His pupils abruptly contracted. He stomped fiercely on the ground, flexed his muscles, and shot straight toward Wang Zhong like an arrow released from a bow.
It seemed he wanted to eliminate Wang Zhong at all costs.
Or perhaps he had also sensed the deadly danger contained within that [Black Firearm]!
Wild beasts were extremely sensitive to danger.
