Several burly, humanoid men were fighting in a specially designed cell spanning thousands of square meters, moving at a speed that was almost impossible for the naked eye to follow.
Fortunately, the onlookers were not ordinary people; even ordinary people could see everything clearly through the specially arranged supersonic cameras.
"This is a second-generation super soldier based on viral technology, with the addition of some Compound V."
"They also meet the adults' requirements and can be used as basic cannon fodder. Below that level are some other basic cannon fodder, those who don't possess superpowers but spread faster..."
"That's enough. It doesn't even have superpowers, so it's probably just like a slightly different kind of zombie. It's not very valuable."
Xu Yuantui interrupted Orochimaru's speech.
Orochimaru smiled, then took out a document and presented it to Xu Yuantui, while explaining the advantages of the Symbiote below.
"It spreads through air inhalation, is fast-paced, requires little modification time, and its effectiveness can reach approximately 40-60% of that of Superman injected with Compound V."
"Short modification time, fast dissemination, and easy material sourcing are the advantages of this super soldier, and we have also made other research findings."
Orochimaru's face was full of pride as he pointed at the two criminals fighting in the arena.
The two burly men, fighting at supersonic speed, exchanged dozens of punches in just over ten seconds, but neither could gain the upper hand.
Suddenly, one of them turned fierce, and then a strange power surged in his right fist as he swung it out hard.
This punch, in terms of power, speed, and destructive force, far surpassed the previous one, sending the opponent flying in one blow.
Then, taking advantage of his opponent's unpreparedness, he quickly gained the upper hand and killed him in no time.
There was no other way; as the first batch of test subjects, these criminals had already been informed of the rule that they had to fight with all their might to survive.
This is an alternative arena, a hall that demonstrates their value, where no one will hold back.
It's either you die or I die!
"That's interesting!"
"It's somewhat similar to Psychokinesis, but not entirely. It's more like a force that resonates with the outside world, a force that circulates from the inside out."
Xu Yuantui discovered this before the fight even started, and now that the prisoner had used it, he carefully sensed it.
"Yes, it's an amazing ability."
Orochimaru, standing to the side, also watched the unique criminal in the arena with great admiration.
"The prisoners selected in the same batch were all injected with the same modification drug; this one was the most special among them."
"His genetic sequence still retains human characteristics, but he inexplicably developed an ability similar to a life force field."
"It's somewhat similar to Psychokinesis recorded in historical documents, but upon comparison, some differences were found."
"Motor power is the ability of a living being to influence the outside world after its spiritual power has been developed, and he, in particular, has a subtle resonance with the outside world. We speculate that it may be a new force."
"How strong is he? Is he the only one? Have any others been discovered?"
Xu Yuantui raised an eyebrow. New power? That seemed like an unexpected surprise.
It's unclear whether this is just an isolated individual mutation or if they've truly discovered a new path.
"Not yet. Out of a hundred test subjects, only this one loudly proclaimed this power. We are still verifying the specific reasons."
Orochimaru said with a slightly embarrassed smile, but quickly changed the subject.
"We may need some unique materials for further research. If possible, I would like the adults to help us find some special viruses."
Hehe, so that's where you were waiting for me!
Xu Yuantui turned to look at Orochimaru, but didn't expose his little scheme.
For a science fanatic like Orochimaru, every new thing is something to be crazy about.
Whether it's virus research or superpower drugs, they are all the best experimental materials for him, satisfying his insatiable thirst for knowledge.
"Continue the research; this level is far from meeting my standards."
"As for your request..."
Xu Yuantui glanced at Orochimaru, and a sudden surge of power pressed down, forcing the man to his knees.
"Don't play these tricks again. Report the results when you have them, and state your needs when you have them, instead of trying to give me these unexpected surprises."
"Neither I nor I like your self-righteousness."
Orochimaru broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that his attempt to create a surprise by not reporting it immediately had backfired.
Xu Xiao demands absolute control over his subordinates; anyone who dares to conceal or cover up anything will be punished.
However, Orochimaru is a rare scientific talent, so this was just a warning.
"I understand, sir. I will definitely not do it again."
Orochimaru lowered his head and quickly admitted his mistake.
He had already witnessed Xu Xiao's ruthlessness and domineering nature. Someone who was willing to sacrifice the entire Shinobi World for power was not on the same level as him in terms of methods, abilities, or temperament.
This attempt to test the waters has clearly gone too far.
"Hurry up with the research. Whether it's using clones as cannon fodder or mass-producing the drug, you have at most a year left. You must show us better results."
"As for the materials you requested, I will bring you another batch from several other worlds."
Slap me, then give me a date.
After Xu Yuantui relayed Orochimaru's request to Xu Xiao, it was quickly approved by the original Orochimaru.
As long as there are results, he doesn't mind traveling to more parts of the world.
Everything is for the sake of embarking on the path to the highest!
In the following period, Xu Yuantui traveled back and forth between several worlds, including Prototype, The Plague, Hell, and Dongjing Ghoul, which were worlds where the ability to mass-produce cannon fodder was possible.
This brought Orochimaru multiple types of power, including the Blacklight Virus, the Vampire Blood River Gene, the Super Infectious Flu Virus, and the Ghoul Bloodline, further broadening the path of his research.
Meanwhile, the transformation of the main world has reached its peak, and is about to reach the point that Xu Xiao cares about.
Main World - Lower Base
Thanks to Xu Xiao's intervention, this place can be said to be the safest place on Earth, and countless people who have heard of this place travel from afar to seek refuge here.
Of course, there are other forces in the main world that protect humanity in the apocalypse, but they dare not have too much contact with Xu Xiao.
Most importantly, their focus has always been on combating mutated beasts and rebuilding the light of human civilization, so they haven't had any conflicts with Xu Xiao.
Several high-ranking members of the Human Alliance had experienced Xu Xiao's power. After his proposal to clean up the mutated beasts was rejected, they treated him as if he were invisible.
Their policy is to neither interfere nor provoke.
The main world has entered the extraordinary era, and several top combatants of the Human Alliance have set their sights on him, thinking that they will deal with Xu Xiao after evolving to a higher level one day.
Now, Xu Xiao sits cross-legged atop the highest tower in Vanguard City, watching a great battle thousands of miles away.
" Afterlife's ascension is nearing its end; the world's first God is about to be born."
