A Sudden Upheaval

"Huh!"

Shui Man looked up, "There's a great show in the distance!"

She then took Qin Yiguan's hand and swam to the other side.

after.

Beneath the glass dome, Qin Yiguan saw a spacious area.

For the underwater inhabitants who have already abandoned the tech tree, this place is somewhat of a luxury.

It covers at least 10,000 square meters, with a gleaming alloy floor.

On either side of the venue stood two rows of young underwater world residents.

It's like a contest, or a confrontation.

Qin Yiguan asked, puzzled, "What are they doing?"

"They are about to engage in a game of strategy."

"A friendly battle."

Shui Man said with great interest, "This is one of our forms of entertainment, like boxing, martial arts competitions, or ring matches! The winner gets the title of ' Strongest Warrior '! Shui Luo was the previous generation's ' Strongest Warrior '!"

"A friendly battle..."

Qin Yiguan frowned slightly, "Could this battle be due to the abilities granted by the Tuomen Acuminate Fungus *?"

"Of course!"

Shui Man's green eyes gazed at the area below, a hint of excitement in her expression. "Don't worry, they're all residents below the fourth stage!"

Qin Yiguan remained silent for a moment.

Even the entertainment system is related to parasites.

In my opinion, there is absolutely no need to eradicate this Tuomen Acuminate Fungus!

"Look at your Yiguan."

Shui Man pointed to a line of teams on the right side of the field, "The leader over there is also my brother, Shui Ming. He's very strong, and this time he's representing my family. I hope he wins!"

Immediately.

Shui Man tugged at Qin Yiguan's sleeve again. For some reason, Qin Yiguan felt that this girl was completely unguarded towards him and that there was a very obvious sense of closeness between them.

Shui Man said, "What about you? Do you have a favorite team to win? You can place your bets, that's part of the fun of the game!"

Qin Yiguan looked around the scene.

The young men on both sides were both dashing and spirited.

Shui Ming's team wore green bodysuits, and Shui Ming, as the leader, also wore a long robe that billowed in the wind.

The other team consisted of people dressed in black, led by a young man who was only in his early twenties with a cold and stern face.

The tension was palpable, and Qin Yiguan, unconsciously caught up in the moment, slowly said, "I hope the team in black wins."

"OK."

Shui Man raised her hands high to the sky, "Then we'll wait and see!"

The two teams below also didn't waste any time with their battles.

They exchanged glances, confirmed their opponents' faces, and then immediately activated their abilities. There were no other contestants waiting in the wings, and it was all a chaotic free-for-all!

Various explosions rang out.

The teenagers' arms and legs suddenly grew longer, their muscles twisted together like steel bars, and their devilish tendon arms swept across the entire field!

Those residents whose legs underwent a mutation instantly grew seven or eight meters taller, appearing from a distance as if they were walking on stilts. They strode across the battlefield, stomping on their opponents with each step!

Each person's strength must be measured in tons, and every strike is powerful and heavy.

The scene was filled with loud crashing sounds and the earth trembling!

In this ferocious attack that relied entirely on brute force and devoid of any specific techniques, figures were constantly sent flying backward, crashing into the surrounding walls, some even slamming heavily onto the alloy floor.

An ordinary person would probably have died long ago from such an attack.

However, these sea creatures, protected by the Tuomen Acuminate Fungus, can still get up on their own even if they suffer injuries, whether minor or severe.

Qin Yiguan saw that around the arena, there were dozens of tiers of stands, and countless dark-colored crowds of residents were shouting wildly, cheering for their favorite champion!

Someone bent over and coughed up blood.

Some people suffered direct arm fractures, which were then twisted behind their bodies.

The battle grew increasingly violent and intense!

It was clearly visible that seven or eight members of Shui Ming's green-clad squad had fallen to the ground, unable to continue fighting.

The black-clad squad, on the other hand, only lost two members!

Qin Yiguan squinted, "The Black Team seems to be much stronger."

moment.

Only Shui Ming remained standing in the green-clad team. His two arms, which had been mutated, had now reverted to human limbs, and were dislocated, hanging limply at his sides.

But the boy gritted his teeth and refused to leave.

Meanwhile, the black-clad captain from the opposing Faction, along with seven or eight members, surrounded Shui Ming.

"Admit defeat and leave the stage."

The captain in black said with a cold expression.

"I can fight again!"

The Shui Ming and wailed.

"Then I have no choice but to defeat you!"

Seven or eight black-clad team members rushed forward, their muscular arms lashing out at Shui Ming like giant steel whips.

Shui Ming's frail body tumbled through the air, spraying blood from his mouth in bursts!

now.

Shui Man, standing beside Qin Yiguan, bit her lip tightly, tears welling in her eyes, "Brother Shui Ming..."

Boom!

Seven or eight enormous, mutated arms crashed down simultaneously!

Shui Ming's body was slammed onto the alloy floor, and with his arms covering his face, his body was no longer visible!

This scene only evokes the image of Shui Ming being smashed into a pulp!

Everyone present thought the game was over and the winner would be the one in black!

"Owner."

Something's not right!

The Starvation Corpse roared, "That Shui Ming, it was originally a level 3 delicious flavor, but now its deliciousness level is skyrocketing! Although I can't see its body, I can smell it, it's now a level 4 delicious flavor... No! Wait! Master!!!"

"That Shui Ming is now a level 5 delicacy!"

At that moment, Qin Yiguan's Pupil suddenly contracted.

Level 5 Deliciousness, isn't that the mother ingredient?!

At that very moment, the various muscular arms in the arena were violently ripped open.

Shui Ming's body was hunched over, and his arms were still in a dislocated state, hanging naturally at his sides, but he slowly got up.

But Shui Ming at this moment seemed like a different person, no longer the spirited young man he once was.

Instead, his face was gloomy, his eyes were sunken, his facial twitched more and more violently, and the veins on his forehead throbbed back and forth like crawling worms.

The scene became eerily quiet.

All that could be heard was Shui Ming's low laughter.

Roar!

The laughter turned into a deep, booming roar of a monster. Shui Ming's head underwent a strange transformation. His mouth suddenly opened in an incredible arc, his fangs instantly grew longer, and the muscles on his face burst out in a ferocious manner!

In an instant, Shui Ming's mouth transformed into a gigantic maw, 5 meters high, which swallowed a nearby black-clad team member whole!

Crunch, crunch!

The sound of him chewing on human flesh echoed throughout the entire venue!

"What happened to Shui Ming!"

"Did he become Negative Doppelgänger?!"

"How could there be such Negative Doppelgänger!"

The black-clad squad was also greatly alarmed!

Among them was a brave young man who tried to stop Shui Ming, but he was still swallowed whole by Shui Ming!

now.

They finally realized that a terrifying change had occurred in Shui Ming that they could not understand!

The boys in the match started to turn and run away!

Roar!

The Shui Ming with a deafening roar, as if forming terrifying sound waves.

The boys who were running away suddenly collapsed, as if they had been knocked unconscious!

"Owner!"

"This is really not right!"

The ravenous roar of the Starvation Corpse rang out again, "The entire arena is filled with level 5 delicious food! The aroma emanating from those youths is increasing dramatically; they... they've all reached level 5!!!"

"What?!"

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened in disbelief. "They're all the mothers?!"

This moment.

One by one, the fallen competitors slowly got up. Even the Green Team members who had been severely injured earlier were now leisurely getting to their feet!

Their faces had all changed.

Each one had a mouthful of fangs, dripping saliva, and sunken eyes!

The Starvation Corpse roared excitedly, "That's right, they're all level 5 delicacies!"

This moment.

Loud roars echoed from the scene!

But then they saw these mutated young contestants rushing onto the stands one by one, devouring the audience one after another!

The audience was also in a panic, trampling each other in chaos!

"How so!"

Shui Man beside her stared wide-eyed in horror, exclaiming, "So many mothers! This is impossible!"

And at this very moment.

Shui Luo, leading a team of strong residents resembling 'underwater police', stormed into the chess arena.

After assessing the situation...

Shui Luo's expression suddenly changed, and he roared, "We must control them! If they break into the city, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

No one saw it.

At this moment, the old Ying Dang stood in front of the city lord's three-story building.

He was surrounded by all sorts of technological equipment.

Various high-precision scientific and technological equipment, such as detectors, microscopes, brainwave detectors, particle accelerators, and Higgs boson resonance spectrometers!

These devices had been gathering dust in the warehouse of Giant Whale City for years, dilapidated and even covered in mold.

But now, it has been connected by a pair of skillful hands, and it has all been repaired and is now functioning normally!

The young monk Shitian, "Master, you have such a skill? Why didn't I know about it?"

Ying Dang stroked his beard. "From the moment we pulled you out of the latrine, we've only known each other for eighteen years. In those eighteen years, you know I'm an idle, unambitious old Daoist who's not particularly skilled in Daoist magic."

"But my lifespan, Master, must be calculated as 78 years."

"Shitian."

Do you know who I was in the 60 years before you were born?!

The young monk's eyes gleamed as he looked at the two large characters "Invincible" above the old Daoist's head. "Master, how could I possibly know that?"

"It's me, an old-fashioned person."

Ying Dang stared at the empty screen in front of him, where a deep-sea microorganism was magnified by a super-distance microscope.

This parasite has a very strange appearance.

The head is a tamarisk with swirling patterns, while the tail is a sharp bone spur.

As its name suggests, Tuomen Acuminate Fungus *!

At this very moment, the Tuomen Acuminate Fungus is constantly dividing, one becoming two, two becoming four.

"It's me, an old-fashioned person."

"Simply put, if I hadn't chosen to retire at the height of my career 40 years ago, then now, any top scientist, whether in the Metaverse or the physical world, would have to bow respectfully at a 90-degree angle and address me as Teacher Ying."

"At the same time, they would point and whisper behind my back, calling me a ' Technology-Obsessed Demon.'"

"And then, they have to whisper among themselves."

"This old man is actually the former chief scientist of the Gemini Group?"

"I heard that at the height of his career, he suddenly resigned and disappeared from public view, his whereabouts unknown!"

Shitian tilted his bald head and widened his eyes, "Master, you have such a little-known past!"

"That's natural."

The old Daoist priest chuckled, "That's right, the Daoist magic I speak of is all nonsense I've made up. I know nothing about exorcising demons or ghosts, but when it comes to technological means, if I claim to be second, who dares to claim to be first? Boundless... damn Heavenly Venerable!"
