25: Outside of order!

What is the largest living organism in the world?

It is not a ten-thousand-year-old tree, nor is it a deep-sea blue whale.

It is mycelium!

The rain during the Beginning of Spring brought an unimaginable Opportunity to the mycelium in the Yunnan-Guizhou Region.

They combined, they interconnected, and they became "it"!

From a god's eye view, you would find that a mass of mycelium has already covered nearly half of the entire Yunnan-Guizhou Region.

—Converted into the mass of a living organism.

That would be—immeasurable!

Such massive mycelium is greedily absorbing the underground water systems.

It has almost completely absorbed the energy brought by the Beginning of Spring Rain Water; according to big data analysis, the number of self-Awakened individuals in the Yunnan-Guizhou Region is also the lowest.

This is the underlying reason.

The authorities have exhausted all means.

In the underground areas with electromagnetic interference, signals are cut off.

If they bring fiber optics, they are snapped during attacks.

When elite squads are dispatched, those with an ordinary Physique cannot win the fight.

When a mycelium strand as thick as a bucket and resembling a vine approaches, someone with an ordinary Physique is finished on the spot.

As such.

This is why the scene required Professionals to step in.

—Having received information from Zhang Hui, Ye Su headed straight for the karst cave with Mo Xiaoyu.

There were many replenished open-top jeeps at the temporary airport, specifically for Professionals to drive.

At a time like this, no one is going to check your driver's license.

There were even officials teaching on the spot; as long as you knew the accelerator and the brake, the automatic transmission would take you anywhere.

The convoy Advanced in a grand and imposing manner.

The sound of occasional scrapes rang out, but no one cared.

However, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Squads from different cities looking at each other with hostility was a common sight.

Among the first batch of Professionals, young people made up the vast majority, and tempers flared ever higher amidst the sound of vehicles scraping.

It is human nature to provoke others once one gains a bit of ability.

Ye Su, as a "unit of combat power," was a particular target of attention.

Hampered by the drones following overhead, Ye Su's expression remained unmoved.

The temporarily cleared road gradually extended into the forest.

In the primeval forest environment, the drones flickered in and out of sight.

But the noise in his ears did not stop;

"You're Ye Su, right? I heard you're a unit of combat power now," someone said, leaning over.

"When we reach our destination, help me test myself."

"Let me see exactly how many 'Ye Sus' I'm worth right now, hee hee."

As the words fell, the people in the vehicle burst into laughter.

Some even had their eyes fixed on Mo Xiaoyu.

The only healing Professional from Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Hmm—this class is very rare nationwide.

Not to mention she's a pure-looking female college student?

Ye Su glanced at them.

Not bad, young people are indeed full of energy.

"Sure, I'll be a yardstick for everyone then," Ye Su responded with a smile.

Combat?

Great!

It just so happened that his Ape Fist was feeling a bit stuck; that so-called Secret Technique felt like it was missing something.

Martial Arts can only truly progress through combat.

"What's the point of just testing?"

Someone else sidled over;

"We're all young people, it's normal to have a temper. Why don't we have a fight and put up some stakes while we're at it?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The surrounding people immediately began to jeer and cheer.

Firstly, their interest was piqued, and secondly, they loved to watch the drama unfold.

"What stakes?"

Ye Su responded.

"Betting teammates!"

The person continued;

"Professional squads have become the trend, and teammates are incredibly important, especially those with special classes."

"Special classes can only grow better by following the strong, don't you think, Ye Su?"

Ye Su looked at him; he was a slightly older youth, about twenty-five or twenty-six. He looked very cheerful, but there was an indelible gloom in his eyes.

"The strong are revered? I like it."

Ye Su responded directly.

Mo Xiaoyu, who was beside him, tugged at Ye Su's clothes and whispered;

"Li Mingyuan. He has a criminal record and is ruthless, but he's had great Opportunity. Without official support, he relied on himself to Breakthrough his limits the day before yesterday—"

"Then he assisted the local authorities with a mission and received resource replenishment. Now he's a formidable character who has reached the 20-point Physique threshold."

Ye Su nodded in response to Mo Xiaoyu.

Strength on paper and actual combat are two different things.

It's just a 4-point Physique gap.

Ye Su trusted his Tai Xuan Scripture and Ape Fist more.

Or rather, after the heart ape appeared, a peculiar aura began to influence Ye Su.

And that was—to sweep through everything!

The heart ape's tyranny, refined by Ye Su's cautious personality, manifested as a mental state of invincible sweeping.

People in the group continued to crack jokes and banter.

In this way, the convoy drove on.

Soon.

Ahead, jagged rocks were everywhere, and there was a lingering smell of gunpowder.

The belly of a large mountain had been forcefully hollowed out.

Unwittingly, the convoy drove into this savage maw that resembled a giant beast.

Geomagnetism began to take effect.

A static sound came from his earphones.

The following drones even fell straight from the sky.

Bang—a burst of sparks rose.

Along with the rising flames, there was also the wildness that everyone no longer needed to suppress!

Under Order, there is civilization.

Outside of Order, there is barbarism.

All the female Professionals moved slightly closer to the core positions of their squads.

The savage animality of the squad members would only be somewhat restrained around the female members of their own squad.

But when facing female members of other squads, it was almost completely undisguised.

Ye Su took a deep breath.

This smell.

It's just right!

A wild, savage aura rose in his heart.

Like a beast that had broken free from the chains of civilization.

It roared, it growled.

It... hungered for blood!

"Ye Su—"

Mo Xiaoyu stared at Ye Su in shock.

This aura washed over her, making her whole body tremble.

At this moment, she seemed to understand what "humans," as Advanced animals, truly represented when deprived of the protection of Order and with their wildness fully unleashed!

Ye Su turned his head, grinned at Mo Xiaoyu, and smiled;

"Remember this well; this is human nature without Order."

"If you don't want to see scenes like this in the future, then from now on, you can learn from me what needs to be done!"

As Ye Su spoke, he reached out to grip the long saber wrapped in cloth behind his back.

Then, looking at everyone, he shouted;

"Everyone, does anyone want to test their combat power?"

The people who had just torn off the cloak of civilization were still experiencing the true wilderness when they were jolted awake by Ye Su's shout.

Countless gazes were cast toward him.

In eyes that were originally refined and gentle, a faint red tint now appeared.

Breaking taboos is the greatest pleasure in human nature.

They gripped their weapons tightly and suddenly realized.

Here, where Order was lost.

It seemed.

Killing... had also become somewhat reasonable.

Zhao Yuan's heart surged.

The look he gave Ye Su was filled with startling killing intent.

He didn't even know where this killing intent came from.

But he knew that as long as he killed Ye Su, then... Mo Xiaoyu would be his.

Yes.

It was that simple!

He felt out his own combat power and took a step forward...

However.

He was too slow.

"Ye Su, let me test your mettle."

This was the young man who had said at the beginning that he wanted Ye Su to test how many 'Ye Sus' he was worth.

Looking at his smiling face—

At this moment, Ye Su only wanted to laugh louder.

"That's perfect!"

Ye Su said.
