127: Chapter 127 The Same Origin Society! Forbidden Armor!
On the arena, following Liu Ruyan's collapse, Zhao Kuo's Source Energy finally bottomed out.
The Lava Hell beneath his feet lost its momentum, the scalding magma rapidly cooling and solidifying into a pile of black charcoal.
"Tsk, you really don't have much stamina, do you!?"
How much did I even absorb? I thought I'd caught a big fish and could fleece him for all he was worth, but it turns out this kid is just a paper tiger.
Su Ming twisted his neck, still feeling unsatisfied. He lifted his foot from the rock layer and stepped toward Zhao Kuo, who had collapsed onto his knees due to the exhaustion of his Source Energy.
Crushing two pieces of charcoal, he stopped three meters in front of Zhao Kuo.
"I gave you a chance, but you couldn't make it count. Let's end this farce!"
The instructors in the observation seats were now speechless, their mouths hanging wide open.
Su Ming's unreasonable, purely physical defense had completely shattered their understanding of the Federation's existing Source Energy cultivation system.
At this moment, Zhao Kuo was coughing up mouthfuls of blood, lacking the strength even to lift a finger.
However, just as Su Ming approached step by step and everyone thought the outcome was decided, the desperate Zhao Kuo stared fixedly at Su Ming, squeezing a few words through his blood-stained teeth.
"You think... you've already won?"
A flash of madness and malice, with no way back, suddenly crossed his eyes.
Using his last ounce of strength, Zhao Kuo flipped his wrist and pulled a potion from the inside of his battle armor.
It was a forbidden potion sealed in a special glass tube, emitting a sinister crimson glow.
"You forced my hand, Su Ming!"
"Then let's go to Hell together!"
Zhao Kuo's face twisted, and without hesitation, he pulled out the syringe and drove it deep into his heart!
The dark red, eerie liquid was pushed entirely into his body.
The next second, Zhao Kuo let out a shrill, inhuman scream.
"Ahhh—!!!"
A power far exceeding human limits, mixed with a thick, violent aura, erupted from within Zhao Kuo's body like a volcanic explosion!
His body expanded rapidly, his bones shattering the battle armor as his size surged to five meters in just a few seconds!
His skin suffered massive necrosis and carbonized, turning into layers of black volcanic lava crystals that covered his entire body like heavy armor.
His right hand expanded dozens of times, his nails extending into half-meter-long obsidian claws.
Dark red magma dripped from between his fingers onto the alloy floor, corroding deep pits.
His Source Energy fluctuations began to rise in a straight line, in a way that completely defied logic.
Tier 3 Middle Stage! Tier 3 Late Stage! Tier 3 Peak!
Boom!
The violent pressure slammed into the surrounding stands.
Tier 4!
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Kuo had turned into a fire-elemental lava behemoth, radiating terrifying heat and the scent of sulfur.
Tens of thousands of candidates in the arena fell into a panic.
Screams pierced the sky.
Those on the periphery scrambled desperately toward the exits; the scene was in complete chaos.
The livestream chat was instantly flooded: [WTF! What the Hell is this?!] [Tier 4! This is definitely Tier 4! Is this f*cking the college entrance exam???] [A monster! Stop the match!]
"Roar!!"
On the arena, the beast-like Zhao Kuo let out an inhuman roar.
Black flesh fibers and lava exoskeletons spread wildly, the terrifying air pressure causing the entire martial arts arena to tremble violently.
The expressions of several big shots in the observation seats changed simultaneously.
Tie Moshan slammed the table, his bell-like eyes bulging with bloodshot veins.
"Something's wrong! This energy is violent and bloodthirsty; it's definitely not standard Source Energy!"
"Chief Examiner Li Feng! Cut the barrier immediately and stop this fight!!"
"Tie Moshan, why be in such a hurry?"
Associate Professor Zhou of Imperial Capital University sat in his seat and spoke leisurely: "In a life-or-death duel, everyone relies on their own abilities.
Didn't that kid use some strange battle armor earlier? He was also using external objects, right? So what if Zhao Kuo uses a potion?"
"In my opinion, this is just a reasonable use of the rules."
"Bullsh*t!"
Tie Moshan was furious, his hair standing on end.
The terrifying pressure of a Tier 5 powerhouse exploded outward as he pointed at Associate Professor Zhou's nose and cursed loudly.
"Zhou Haisheng! If your eyes are only for breathing, then shut your mouth! Is that thing something a human can turn into?"
In the stands, Shen Qingci's jade-like hands were clenched tight, her eyes filled with anxiety.
She instinctively looked at Chu Yao beside her.
Chu Yao gave her a reassuring look, then stared intently at Su Ming on the arena.
She was a bit curious... Facing such an unknown monster, facing pressure that could instantly kill 99% of the candidates present, why could that boy named Su Ming still remain so composed?
Although she was filled with doubt and suspicion, the wind-element Source Energy inside Chu Yao was already being mobilized like a storm.
Gale winds raged around her, and she was ready to intervene by force at any moment.
The assassin-type Instructor Instructor Ying Wuhen, who usually had no presence, suddenly opened his eyes.
His voice was cold: "This is not a normal transformation potion. This is a forbidden biological entity."
Instructor Lin from Magic City stared intently at the arena and uttered a sentence that made the scalps of all the big shots present tingle: "[Source Beast Biological Armor]!"
As soon as these six words were spoken, the minds of the military and conglomerate big shots on the platform roared instantly.
They all simultaneously thought of those three absolutely forbidden words! "Tong! Yuan! Society!"
"Are these lunatics really planning to make an enemy of all humanity?!"
Lang Qingyun was so shocked he stood up directly.
"Forcibly grafting gene fragments of high-tier Abyss Source Beasts onto humans?!"
Instructor Lin stared at Zhao Kuo, who had completely lost his human form on the stage, his tone filled with disgust.
"This technology drains the host of all their life potential and Soul.
After the transformation, Zhao Kuo has no rationality left, only pure destruction and violence.
He is no longer human, but the Tongyuan Society's most perfect gene weapon."
"We can't wait any longer!"
Tie Moshan roared, his muscles exploding, tearing his formal suit to shreds and revealing a body that looked like it was cast from steel.
He charged directly toward the arena.
Chu Yao did not hesitate either, transforming into a cyan gale and following close behind.
The two Tier 5 Awakened arrived at the edge of the arena almost simultaneously.
Most of the high school candidates were only Tier 1 or Tier 2.
Facing the pressure of a Tier 4 Peak, they could only flee in terror; the entire exam site had descended into complete chaos.
"Chief Examiner Li Feng! Open the barrier!"
Tie Moshan roared.
Chief Examiner Li Feng was covered in cold sweat.
He held a controller in his hand, his fingers pressing rapidly, trying to cut off the barrier and end this life-or-death battle.
But no matter how he operated it, the light curtain shrouding the arena showed no sign of dissipating.
He looked up, his lips turning pale.
"Tie Moshan! It... it won't open! The control core seems to have been... locked!"
"What!"
Tie Moshan's eyes were wide with rage.
Violent Tier 4 pressure surged inside the barrier.
The highest-level life-and-death arena Source Energy barrier was struck, creating dense cracks, and eerie dark purple light flickered within the cracks.
"Take action! Save Su Ming first, then take down this heretic!"
At this moment, Lang Qingyun also arrived as a streak of light.
Tie Moshan understood, and the two did not hesitate.
Violent dismantling!
The military's killing aura exploded instantly, causing the surrounding air to shriek.
A Tier 5 Early Stage Body Cultivator and a Tier 4 Peak dual-combat system user!
Both erupted simultaneously, carrying destruction-level Source Energy, and slammed fiercely into the arena's defensive shield!
The power was so great that the candidates in the distance closed their eyes and backed away.
The ground trembled.
"Boom—!!"
A loud explosion blasted at the edge of the arena.
The combined strike, enough to severely injure a Tier 5 Great Demon, landed solidly on the one-way shield.
However, only a circle of eerie dark purple runes rippled across the surface of the shield.
The energy dissipated, and the defensive Formation... was completely undamaged!
"F*ck! What the Hell is going on!"
The usually jovial Lang Qingyun couldn't help but curse.
Tie Moshan was so angry he smashed his fist against the barrier again and again, making loud banging noises, but it was to no avail.
Chu Yao was searching for the core Formation eye of the barrier, but all regular access points had been cut off.
They couldn't save him!
They could only watch everything happening inside through the transparent barrier.
"It's too late! The life-and-death battle contract is signed; no one can save you!"
The beast-like Zhao Kuo spoke with a human voice.
His massive body shook violently, and he smashed a corner of the arena with a palm, sending gravel and following magma flying.
He looked down at Su Ming, who appeared incredibly small in comparison, and let out a deafening, wild laugh.
"Su Ming! Do you see this! This is power!"
"This is the power that can crush you! Even if you have a thousand schemes, in front of absolute power, you are nothing but a bug that can be crushed with a pinch!"
He turned his head, using those eyes completely occupied by crimson to look at the anxious crowd outside the barrier.
"And you self-righteous admissions officers."
"Today, this young master will let the entire Federation see how the peerless Genius in your eyes is ground into meat paste by me!"
Subsequently, that giant claw, as large as the front of a heavy truck and carrying the terrifying kinetic energy of Tier 4 and volcanic fire, was suddenly raised!
The shadow completely enveloped Su Ming.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Shen Qingci bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes red.
Ye Xiao crushed the railing beside him, full of unwillingness.
Tens of thousands of people held their breath.
The giant claw, accompanied by a shriek that tore through the air, slammed fiercely toward the area where Su Ming was.
"Go to Hell!"
The strong wind whistled, blowing Su Ming's damaged battle armor lining until it flapped loudly, his black hair dancing wildly.
However.
Under the terrifying pressure, Su Ming did not take half a step back, nor did he even have the intention to dodge.
He just slightly raised his head, watching that Tier 4 lava giant claw slamming down heavily.
There was not only no fear in his eyes.
Instead, a flash of undisguised heat and greed emerged.
Tier 4?
He was currently suppressing a hundred tons of silicon-based weight inside his body and was just worrying about having nowhere to vent it!
"The kinetic energy of this Tier 4 ultimate move..."
"How much must it be worth."
