The muscular man instantly realized he might have hit a brick wall, but his actions were faster than his brain. Glancing at that hideous chanical arm, an involuntary chill ran through his heart.
Before he could even speak, a burst of agonizing pain flared in his arm. The five sharp, pointed fingers of the chanical arm had already pierced deeply into his muscle.
The sharp fingers were threaded. In the next mont, those tallic digits actually began to spin like power drills. Flesh and blood flew through the air as his arm was shredded into minceat.
The muscular man let out a wretched howl as he was violently kicked away. Clutching his mangled arm, he fell to one knee on the floor.
The rest of the boxers were instantly startled. Such ruthless thods sent a collective shiver down everyone's spines.
Most of the people here were F-rank and simply lacked the capital to confront Hook Fang. After all, once soone reached the E-rank,
Even if they were only E- rank, they could secure decent treatnt in various organizations. There was no need to co here and risk their lives.
That was, unless they had special circumstances—like Li Yu, who had conned Third Fatty, killed Mad Snake, and thoroughly provoked Thorn Fla.
Or like The Howler - Gore, who was fighting to obtain citizenship in the Star Glory Empire.
Hook Fang swept a disdainful glance over the crowd and turned to the recording clerk nearby. "Hook Fang. Starting the test."
"We can fight in here?" Li Yu's eyes lit up as he looked down at Gugu.
Gugu was busy calculating sothing. Hearing this, he looked up and replied, "Here? I suppose so. As long as there are no signs prohibiting combat, the Tyron Chamber of Comrce won't intervene."
Li Yu scanned his surroundings and did not spot any signs forbidding brawls. Perhaps it was because fighting in here would not disturb the Tyron Chamber of Comrce's consurs outside.
Revealing a faint smile, Li Yu stepped out of the line. Under the watchful eyes of the other boxers, he walked right up behind Hook Fang.
"Mr. Hook Fang..." His voice was calm, a pleasant smile resting on his face as he patted Hook Fang's shoulder.
"Who the fu—" Hook Fang, who was gathering his strength to strike the humanoid target, stumbled. His montum was abruptly cut off, throwing his balance into chaos.
This was the main drawback of most chanical cyborgs. Without an auxiliary optical computer installed, it was incredibly difficult to perfectly balance heavy cybernetic enhancents with a body of flesh and blood.
Hook Fang whirled around with a face full of fury, only to see a smiling Li Yu. He paused for a mont before letting out a cold sneer. "So it's you. What, couldn't keep up the act anymore?"
He still rembered Li Yu as the guy playing the expert at the entrance.
E rank? He actually had the nerve to say that. A single E-rank Gene Chain cost an astronomical amount of Star Coins. Did Li Yu look like soone who could afford that?
"No..." Li Yu shook his head, unsure of what was going on. This guy seed absolutely convinced that he was just putting on a front.
In reality, such an assumption was not entirely outlandish. Genetic Warriors did not damage their bodily functions, fully preserving their physical bodies and allowing for a systemic path of growth.
It was the Path of Evolution most coveted by all lifeforms across the interstellar realm.
However, a Gene Chain required Star Coins, and genetic fusion equipnt required Star Coins. It was literally a Path of Evolution paved entirely with imnse wealth.
"I just wanted to ask if you could let test first." Li Yu paused, a subtle expression crossing his face. "After all, E- rank trash shouldn't be blocking the way."
"You little..." Hook Fang was stunned for a second before flying into a raging fury. His chanical arm shot forward, its five fingers spinning like power drills.
Even Li Yu had no desire to let those things drill into his body. He simply raised his leg and delivered a kick—a simple and unadorned strike that landed right in Hook Fang's groin, ensuring all was lost for the man.
Everyone present felt a phantom chill in their nether regions, swallowing hard as Hook Fang's agonizing wail echoed throughout the entire room.
He clutched his crotch with his good hand, his face shifting between shades of green and pale blue. Trembling, he raised his chanical arm, only for Li Yu to snatch it right out of the air at point-blank range.
"This is what you rely on?" Li Yu gripped the chanical arm with both hands, planting his feet firmly. He engaged his back muscles, and a terrifying surge of power instantly erupted from his fra.
Crack! Snap!
Under the dumbfounded gazes of everyone present, the chanical arm split right down the middle. Sparks showered in all directions as various exposed wires burst open.
Hook Fang's eyes went wide, completely forgetting his pain as he roared in disbelief, "How is that possible!"
Tearing a chanical arm apart with bare hands... The explosive strength contained within that seemingly frail body was far too imnse.
The surrounding boxers were utterly stupefied, stepping back in unison. This was a true heavyweight.
Li Yu casually tossed the broken chanical arm onto the floor. Hook Fang trembled from head to toe, his eyes entirely vacant. He had sacrificed everything to obtain that arm, believing it would be the start of his rise to glory. How could it be shattered just like that?
"You... You..." He abruptly looked up, his gaze filled with venomous resentnt, while sparks continued to sputter from the severed stump of his chanical arm.
"Your arm... isn't very good," Li Yu said, shaking his head.
"Do you have any idea who is backing ?" Hook Fang spat through gritted teeth.
"The master of the Tyron Chamber of Comrce?" Li Yu asked after a mont of contemplation.
Hook Fang imdiately choked on his words. He gave a cold snort and declared, "It is the top-tier boxer, Great Waves—"
Bang!
With a muffled thud, Hook Fang's body was sent flying backward, slamming heavily into the testing target. He crashed to the floor, his chest caved in and his eyes ruptured. Large pools of blood poured out, leaving him in a remarkably tragic state.
"Strength: 51. Rating: E ."
The recording clerk standing to the side had a deadpan expression, reacting without the slightest surprise. Keeping a stoic face in his pristine white uniform, he simply noted the data down on his tablet.
"If it isn't the master of the Tyron Chamber of Comrce, then what are you acting so tough for?" Li Yu muttered.
"Alright, alright..." Gugu squeezed his way out from the crowd of boxers, his wrinkled little face brimming with excitent. He hadn't expected to genuinely stumble upon a treasure this ti.
"Please, do not let this piece of trash ruin your mood. As an esteed E rank lifeform, you will receive a personal audience with the head of the Tyron Chamber of Comrce's arena matches!"
"Oh?" Li Yu glanced at the thrilled Goblin, noticing that Gugu's fist-sized eyes were practically bulging out of his head.
"Please, follow ..." Gugu could barely suppress his excitent. 'By the Goblin Gods, I am going to be rich! Countless Star Coins!'
Hum!
The chanical door buzzed open, and Grey Spear walked in. Wrapped tightly in a grey cloak, his features were obscured, but Li Yu could vividly feel a piercing gaze shooting toward him from beneath the hood.
As the two brushed past each other, Li Yu's muscles abruptly tensed before slowly relaxing again. The instant the chanical door slid shut, Li Yu threw a glance over his shoulder.
He perfectly caught sight of Grey Spear turning sideways, also glancing back at him.
"Give a break..." Li Yu was left utterly speechless. Was such a tacit understanding really necessary?
"Every ti I walk past these grey-skinned rats, I feel a chill all over my body," Gugu could not help but complain. Then, he looked at Li Yu with a hesitant expression.
"You aren't here for that damn Star Glory Empire citizenship as well, are you?"
"What about it?" Li Yu asked, avoiding a direct answer.
Gugu hesitated for a mont before shaking his head. "Nothing. Isn't it better to just make a fortune here? Why get so hung up on that bullshit citizenship?"
