64: Test physical strength

Chapter 64: Testing Body Strength

His figure, though not burly, was like a mountain, with a steady aura that instantly put people at ease.

In front of Bruce stood dozens of people, all strong individuals from the Chemical Zone.

They looked to Bruce as their leader.

Among them was a man named Chen Feng, nicknamed Chen Fengzi, a powerful elite from Pangu City who combined mechanical body modifications with the Old Art of body refining.

This man was eager to get close to the Adam Five, almost to the point of groveling.

"Bruce, let me deal with this fly blocking our way. It's a good chance to test my physical strength," Chen Fengzi excitedly volunteered.

Bruce nodded, looked around, and shouted loudly, "Stop hiding! Once this person is captured, I'll return to Musileke City."

"You scum living in the Pollution Zone, remember this today: from now on, when you hear the name of the Adam Five, retreat three steps!"

"Even… a thirty-year Contaminant must get far away!"

Bruce's words were quite domineering, not even putting a thirty-year Contaminant in his eyes, which was indeed a bit excessive.

People nearby no longer concealed themselves and appeared one by one.

Especially the Contaminators, their faces burned with shame. To be openly mocked in their own territory, yet not dare to act.

It was truly… stifling!

"What are you, to speak so arrogantly? Are Contaminants something you can mock?!" A five-year Contaminator, unwilling to accept this, loudly rebuked Bruce.

These Contaminators were already considered abandoned humans; their bodies mutated due to radiation in the Pollution Zone, making them powerful. To still be mocked and humiliated—who could tolerate that!

Bruce turned and looked at him, giving a charming, evil smile.

Immediately, it caused a stir among many young women.

Oh my, he's too handsome!

I want to marry him and have his children.

"Bang!" Before the man understood what was happening, he was shot in the head with his own gun.

The faces of the Contaminators present changed drastically. What kind of ability was this, to easily take an enemy's head from hundreds of meters away?

Then, Bruce gave a thumbs up, slowly lowered it, and rotated it.

The meaning was self-evident.

The Contaminators were furious, their chests burning with anger, but no one dared to step forward.

Because everyone knew that Musileke City's main force had arrived.

They should be… arriving soon.

"Go, deal with him. Don't disgrace the people of the Chemical Zone," Bruce said.

Chen Fengzi rubbed his hands, took off his jacket, and his metallic arms dazzled the onlookers.

He first strode forward, then quickened his pace, and by the time he was in front of Xu Jingzhe, he was already in a running start.

Then, pushing off with his legs, he leaped five meters high.

The finger joints of his mechanical right arm rotated, the sound of metal friction intoxicating Chen Fengzi. He clenched his hand into a fist and fiercely slammed it towards Xu Jingzhe's head.

Xu Jingzhe, to test his current physical strength, did not choose to dodge.

Instead, he adopted a defensive stance, clenching both fists, forming an 'X' in front of him, to block the iron fist that came crashing down with a whistling sound.

This scene caused many exclamations, calling him a complete idiot.

Using flesh and blood to resist technology was simply a joke.

If he wanted to die, he shouldn't die like this. He might as well find a rock and smash his head against it.

Many people shook their heads, as if they had already seen Xu Jingzhe's arms being broken by the metallic arm, and the force of inertia continuing to smash his chest, blood splattering everywhere.

Some girls even couldn't bear to watch the tragic end of this super handsome guy and chose to close their eyes, hoping to preserve the beautiful image of him in their minds.

"Bang!" A huge sound.

The ground trembled. The expected tragic scene of Xu Jingzhe did not appear; he withstood the blow from the mechanical arm.

However, his feet were completely embedded in the mud.

"Wow!" Many people were astonished. How could this body be so strong?

Could it be that his arms were also mechanically modified, covered with a layer of artificial skin?

But the sound of the impact was clearly not metal against metal.

Even the disdainful Bruce was a little surprised, carefully scrutinizing Xu Jingzhe, wanting to determine if he had undergone technological modification.

One blow did not defeat the person in front of him, Chen Fengzi was somewhat surprised and said, "You are from the Chemical Zone, following the Old Art of body refining?"

Xu Jingzhe gave a cold, mocking smile, "What, is it that only those who follow the Old Art of body refining can resist technology head-on?"

"Hmph, how can Old Art contend with technology!" Chen Fengzi sneered and once again swung his fist at Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe retreated dozens of meters, rubbing his arm. It hurt a lot.

He had still overestimated himself and underestimated the enemy. The metallic arm was indeed powerful, almost injuring him.

If others knew of this thought, they would probably cry themselves to death. You've only been here for less than half a year, and you can already withstand technology head-on.

And you're still not satisfied?

Only Contaminators of ten years or more could have such formidable bodies!

"Why are you running? I really like your body. Let's see whose bones are harder!" Chen Fengzi, having the upper hand, was very pleased.

This battle, he would surely win!

His name would surely spread!

Xu Jingzhe pursed his lips, saying nothing.

"Shua!" The metallic fist, gleaming with a cold light, brushed past Xu Jingzhe's chest. Xu Jingzhe seized the opportunity, grasped his wrist with both hands, and executed a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.

Chen Fengzi was slammed heavily onto the ground, and the ground cracked, but he remained unharmed.

The ground was not as hard as his body!

Xu Jingzhe pressed down, his legs against Chen Fengzi's chest, and with both hands, his fists rained down like a storm on Chen Fengzi's face.

Chen Fengzi raised his metallic arms to protect his face.

The 'ding-ding-dong-dong' sound, like hammering metal, petrified many people present.

What the hell, you, a person with metallic arms, are using them to protect your… still decent face?

That's going too far!

Even if you have money, you can't play like this!

Especially those who knew Chen Fengzi were puzzled, aren't you Chen Fengzi?

Go crazy, like a mad dog, bite him!

Little did they know, Chen Fengzi was suffering. The few punches he couldn't block in time on his face earlier hurt too much!

They made him tear up.

One punch broke his nose, two punches knocked out his teeth, three punches gave him a black eye. Even he, who studied the most basic Old Art of body refining, couldn't withstand it.

This was really a metallic fist, wasn't it? His own metallic fists were cheap and of poor quality!

"Crack!"

Just then, the sound of metal cracking came from Chen Fengzi's ear. His heart pounded. Could it be… "Crack!"

"Crack!"

The sound was continuous, unstoppable.

"Thud!" Xu Jingzhe raised his right hand high, paused for a second in the air, and after accumulating strength, slammed it down fiercely.

Everyone present gaped.

The metallic arm was… smashed off.

The immense force sent both arms flying to the sides, parts scattering, with some blood vessels and flesh still attached to the arms.

Chen Fengzi, no longer having his metallic arms to protect his face, had his head smashed by Xu Jingzhe's punch, like a round watermelon hit by a large sledgehammer.

Red juice mixed with white brain matter splattered all over the ground.
