66: Japanese ninja

Chapter 66: Japanese Ninja

Everyone was stunned, including Dodge and the others who were fighting. The scene immediately fell silent, and they couldn't help but look over curiously.

Many people didn't understand what had happened. A crushing situation that should have been a foregone conclusion had been completely reversed.

The handsome red-haired man, Bruce, was split in two!

Blood splattered, and intestines were strewn across the ground. Xu Jingzhe was covered in Bruce's blood, standing in the clearing like an Asura, inspiring fear in all who watched.

The legs of those few who knew Bruce's background were trembling. He was Bruce, one of the Adam Five! He was absolutely a representative figure of the younger generation, a great mountain blocking the path of his peers!

Yet, here in the Pollution Zone, he had been sliced in half.

Dodge and the others had eyes filled with surprise and excitement. No one could believe this—could this truly be a Contaminator who had just condensed a pollution core?

This was too heaven-defying!

Without Bruce's control, the chains dropped, and the four individuals fell from the air. Cold Qing was in tears, collapsing onto the ground and sobbing loudly.

He wasn't riding on colorful auspicious clouds or clad in battle armor.

There was only one man and one blade, slaying the enemy before them!

"I don't know why, but I feel like this person's back looks somewhat familiar."

"Now that you mention it, I think I remember seeing him somewhere too!"

"Oh, please, stop trying to claim familiarity. With that strength, he's no less powerful than a Contaminator of twenty years and has a chance to challenge becoming a Contaminant."

Some Contaminators whispered among themselves, consistently finding the back of this incredibly handsome person familiar, certain they had seen him somewhere.

Xu Jingzhe felt his body had been emptied; the Time Stop ability he had just used drained half of his body's energy.

It must be known that his cells had been modified by the -1 bacteria, allowing him to hold ten times the energy of an ordinary person.

A two-second Time Stop actually required such terrifying energy to maintain. One can imagine that even if other Contaminators mutated and gained Time Stop, they probably wouldn't be able to use it.

The required energy was too immense.

They wouldn't be able to use it even if they were drained into mummies!

... Adam City, in a training room on the tallest building.

A man with fiery red hair frowned deeply. This not only failed to detract from the beauty of his face but added a hint of melancholy, making him seem less aloof.

"Did... it develop its own thoughts and escape control, or was it killed?" he wondered aloud.

The moment Xu Jingzhe sliced Bruce in half with a blade, he felt a sudden realization.

However, he wasn't sure which scenario it was.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Just then, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat appeared at the door made of specialized hardened glass.

He had short hair, wore glasses, and held a tablet, looking very scholarly.

Bruce quickly pressed the door button, took out a towel to wipe his sweat, and said, "Teacher, my clone..."

"Yes, I came because of this matter," the middle-aged man said casually, sitting on a stool and opening the tablet.

The tablet displayed two miniature human figures. The left side of the body corresponded to numerous data points: bone strength, skin resilience, heartbeat, explosive power, and so on.

It was obvious that the data on the left was more than double the data on the right.

"Your clone was killed. The quantum data device installed on its arm no longer detects bodily energy fluctuations; all data has gone Return to Zero. Furthermore, the lack of data transmission means it is highly likely in the center or deep inside the Pollution Zone, where signal interference is too severe."

"Teacher, are you sure the clone didn't develop self-awareness and betray the original body?"

"You should know that even though the clone's overall quality is only one-third of my strength, as long as a Contaminant didn't attack in the Pollution Zone, he should have been able to escape back to Musileke City, right?"

Bruce was very confused. He understood his clone well; it was essentially him. Since he couldn't challenge a Contaminant with his current strength, why would the clone be reckless enough to invite trouble?

The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and said, "It must have been killed. The clone didn't know it had a quantum data device on its arm."

He sighed deeply and continued, "It's just a shame about the quantum data device. If it isn't found within half a month, it will become useless. This time, the clone's experience in the Pollution Zone was of no help to you."

The quantum data device the middle-aged man referred to was installed on the clone and served as a recording function. When the clone left the original body for a certain distance to gain experience—learning, killing, growing, and so on—it would all be recorded on the quantum data device.

Once the clone returned and the two made close contact, everything the clone experienced would be perceived by the original body.

It was equivalent to the original body gaining the experience personally—a truly abnormal function.

"I'll go look for it myself," Bruce said, standing up.

"Forget it. You should focus on training. The five-year competition is approaching."

"The top three this time will qualify for priority testing of the Mars Evolution Fluid. You know that the newly developed evolution fluid has many issues and hasn't been used on humans yet."

"However, the great families can't wait any longer. The legendary calamity is coming, and they need the younger generation to take up the mantle."

"Calamity is what fortune leans on, and fortune is what calamity hides under. Even if there is only a one percent chance, you must bravely try, understand!"

Bruce understood his teacher's painstaking efforts, bowed to him, and said sincerely, "I will follow the teacher's instructions."

... After Bruce was killed, many Contaminators in the Pollution Zone started showing contempt, thinking, What was that?

He showed off for ages, only to end up like this?!

If he went up, he could do it too!

It's just that this guy is so handsome and so strong; who knows how many girls will be chasing after him in the future!

Xu Jingzhe stood rooted to the spot, dagger in hand, breathing heavily. Only he knew how immense the pressure of facing Bruce had been.

This man's strength was absolutely capable of fighting Wang Ning at his peak. If his internal ability hadn't been triggered, he would surely have died.

A cold mountain wind blew, shaking the trees and scattering loose leaves.

The people from the Chemical Zone silently departed. A small portion of them knew the strength of the Son of Adam, and they were still finding it hard to accept, their confidence nearly shattered.

Historically, the people of the Chemical Zone had always stepped on the heads of the Contaminators.

"Pop!"

Suddenly, a cold light flashed, radiating intense killing intent!

A faint phantom abruptly appeared in front of Xu Jingzhe. A long blade flashed across the air, aimed directly at Xu Jingzhe's heart. It was too fast and too sudden; there was no time to react.

The pupils of everyone watching Xu Jingzhe suddenly contracted. It was a fatal strike; how could he possibly evade it?

Moreover, this handsome guy had just survived a life-or-death battle and was currently in his most relaxed state.

Dodge still had a smile plastered on his face as he watched this scene unfold.

In the distance, several Contaminants who had been watching the area suddenly had grave expressions.

One of the Contaminants exclaimed in shock, "Japanese Ninja!"

He himself had once been assassinated by one; although he had saved his life, he was left with a permanent hidden injury.

He would never be able to advance even half a step further in this life!

"Die!"

He roared and moved with incredible speed. No matter what, he had to capture the Japanese Ninja and avenge the resentment in his heart!
