136: Chapter 136 Over-the-shoulder throw! The sixth-tier monster turns into a sack!

The Scorpion King moved.

Without any nonsense.

The instant Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng's headless corpse collapsed,

the Scorpion King's human left eye completely darkened,

and the amusement in his crimson compound eye vanished completely.

"Trash."

He spat out only two words.

The terrifying pressure of a Peak Sixth-Rank erupted like a hurricane,

blowing the surrounding ruins, corpses, and half of the spectator stands

into the air, scattering them everywhere.

The pressure was so intense that even Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng's knees trembled in the distance.

In the next second.

The Scorpion King vanished.

No, he was simply too fast.

His 2.3-meter-tall hunched body turned into a blurry afterimage,

his multi-ton body shattering the alloy ground as he charged straight at Su Ming!

The giant pincer covered in purplish-black scales clenched tight,

channeling all the power of his Sixth-Rank Physical Body.

The air tore apart.

A sonic boom rang out.

Facing this destructive charge!

Su Ming did not retreat.

Not until the foul, stench-filled gale blew in his face

did he slowly raise his right fist.

[Mass Mastery]!

1.5 times mass kinetic energy!

He suddenly exerted force underfoot, cracking the alloy ground into a spiderweb pattern.

His 150 tons of True Mass transformed into a pure kinetic engine at this moment.

His entire being turned into a human heavy artillery piece that ignored any Formation suppression, boldly charging toward the purplish-black afterimage!

"Boom!!!"

There were no flashy lights or shadows of Source Energy.

Su Ming's seemingly slender fist collided violently in mid-air with the Scorpion King's claypot-sized poisonous pincer!

A pure physical shockwave that pierced the eardrums exploded with a bang!

The terrifying shockwave rippled outward in a ring, instantly blowing away the nearby Blood Disciples and instructors!

The Scorpion King had originally thought this punch would grind the high schooler before him into mincemeat.

But at the moment of impact, a piercing pain shot through his pincer, which was covered in Seventh-Rank Source Beast scales!

A pure, ultimate mass and kinetic energy—the kind he had only ever felt from council president-level powerhouses—surged back through his pincer!

Under the stunned gazes of the tens of thousands of people present,

Su Ming was not only not blown to pieces on the spot,

but he and the Sixth-Rank Beast Seal User, the Scorpion King, actually...

matched each other blow for blow!

A high school student with absolutely no Source Energy had taken the full-force charge of a Peak Sixth-Rank Beast Seal User head-on!

The military bayonet in Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng's hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

Tie Moshan's mouth fell open so wide it could fit an egg.

The bullet comments in the live stream froze instantly, before being flooded by a tsunami of question marks.

[Am I seeing things? Clashing fists? Clashing fists with a Sixth-Rank?]

[Is this guy even human??]

The Scorpion King was forced back half a step, while Su Ming's feet plowed two ten-meter-long deep trenches into the alloy ground before he finally came to a halt.

His arms were slightly numb.

Su Ming shook his hands and grinned.

"Is that it?"

"A Sixth-Rank old monster, yet your strength is like a little girl's."

The Scorpion King's crimson compound eye glared intently at Su Ming, the depths of his gaze filled with unbelievable shock.

To be mocked to his face by a high schooler and have his full-strength strike blocked was a humiliating disgrace to him!

"Your strength... had better be a bit greater!"

The Scorpion King roared, his tattered robe exploding to reveal the knotted, purplish-black muscles beneath, his frame swelling by another size!

He charged forward once again!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two abandoned all technique, trading frenzied blows in the most primitive and savage manner!

Every single collision made the entire Martial Arts Arena tremble!

However, the Scorpion King was, after all, a Peak Sixth-Rank who had transplanted a Seventh-Rank Source Beast's Bloodline.

After several head-on clashes, the terrifying recoil force began to make Su Ming's arms feel slightly numb.

Catching a brief opening, a sinister grin flashed across the Scorpion King's face.

"It's over!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Behind him, two scorpion tails transformed into two streaks of purplish-black lightning, tearing through the air with ear-piercing shrieks as they thrust toward Su Ming's temples from left and right!

"Su Ming, retreat quickly!"

In the distance, Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng, who was tightly entangled by a Fifth-Rank Wolf King, turned deathly pale upon seeing this. He roared, "Dodge, quick! That's the poisonous tail of the Seventh-Rank 'Purple Prison Poison Scorpion'! If it breaks even a sliver of your skin, a Fifth-Rank powerhouse will turn into liquid pus within three seconds. You can't take it head-on!"

Chu Yao, Shen Qingci, and the others desperately tried to rush over, but they were firmly blocked by the tide of Blood Disciples, leaving them to watch helplessly as the two lethal stingers closed in.

Su Ming's pupils contracted. Instantly activating his [Mass Engine], he pulled back dozens of meters.

"Trying to run?"

The Scorpion King's raspy, cold laughter rang out.

"To die under my venomous stingers is enough for you to be proud!"

Before his voice even faded, the six scorpion tails on his back rose in unison, instantly breaking the sound barrier!

Six streaks of eerie blue, lethal light formed a net of absolute death from six directions—above, below, left, and right—locking onto Su Ming's head and heart!

It's over!

Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom.

Yet, facing this certain-death situation, not only was there no fear on Su Ming's face, but a trace of curiosity actually flashed across it.

Seventh-Rank deadly poison?

I wonder if my silicon-based form can withstand it?

[Mass Engine]! [Inertial Drift]!

Su Ming pushed his physical reaction speed to the absolute limit, executing all kinds of evasive maneuvers that defied physical common sense within the net of the six stingers.

His hands turned into afterimages, continuously slapping away and parrying the incoming stingers.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dense sounds of clashing metal echoed throughout the Martial Arts Arena!

Su Ming had actually blocked all of the Scorpion King's attacks using nothing but his bare fists!

The examinees and instructors watching from the periphery, and even the Blood Disciples of the Tongyuan Society, were all utterly dumbfounded.

Catching a bare blade with your hands is already ridiculous enough, but what kind of absurd move is catching venomous stingers barehanded?

After dozens of rounds, the Scorpion King grew increasingly alarmed as the fight went on.

This kid's physical defense was simply unheard of!

Every strike of his venomous stingers carried terrifying kinetic energy capable of piercing a main battle tank, yet when hitting him, it couldn't even force him back a single step!

While the Scorpion King was filled with doubt and hesitation, Su Ming spotted an opening and deliberately left a flaw.

He allowed an unavoidable stinger to heavily graze his forearm, accompanied by an ear-piercing sound of tearing wind!

Rip—

The sleeve of his dark star battle armor shattered instantly.

"No!" Shen Qingci cried out in dismay.

Everyone's hearts leaped into their throats!

However, the expected scene of flesh and blood flying did not occur.

That stinger, which was enough to melt Fifth-Rank alloy, left only a faint white mark on Su Ming's fair skin!

The dark green venom, capable of dissolving steel, flowed over his skin as if it were nothing but plain water.

It could not penetrate.

It couldn't even seep into a single pore.

[Kinetic Siphon]!

[mass points +2,500!]

Su Ming completely set his mind at ease.

The so-called Seventh-Rank deadly poison is just this?

Meanwhile, the Scorpion King...

looked as if he had seen a ghost, his crimson compound eye bulging wide!

The poisonous stingers were ineffective?

What he had transplanted was the Bloodline of the Seventh-Rank Purple Prison Poison Scorpion! That toxin could corrode through a Sixth-Rank protective shield in a single second!

Just what on earth was this kid's body made of?!

At this moment, the Scorpion King finally understood why the higher-ups had spared no expense to expose their mole, deploy Sixth-Rank combat power, and orchestrate this city-destroying operation.

Such a Heaven-Defying body that ignored physical and chemical Laws was the ultimate material that the Tongyuan Society dreamed of!

"Good, good, good... Truly monstrous!"

The Scorpion King's eyes reddened as his killing intent and greed surged simultaneously.

"Then don't blame this old man for using his real skills!"

The six scorpion tails suddenly gathered, aligned, and intertwined!

They actually transformed into a purple energy drill as thick as a water vat!

The eerie blue venom at the tips of the tails and the dark purple Source Energy compressed and spun frantically.

The air was shredded, letting out an extremely sharp, screeching hiss.

"[Purple Extreme - City Breaker Drill]!"

With a sinister grin, the Scorpion King thrust this terrifying attack, capable of piercing city walls, violently toward Su Ming!

This single strike drained nearly thirty percent of the power in his body!

In the distance, Tie Moshan cursed loudly, "Damn it! That's a siege technique!"

Chu Yao's face was deathly pale.

The kinetic energy level of this strike was no longer comparable to an ordinary Sixth-Rank attack.

Facing this violent attack, Su Ming did not dodge or avoid it. Instead, he crossed his arms to protect his chest.

Bring it on!

The Sixth-Rank power bank is officially charging!

"Boom!!!"

The massive drill

heavily struck Su Ming's crossed, parrying arms!

The terrifying impact pushed his entire body backward by dozens of meters,

slamming him heavily against the barrier's light screen behind him,

emitting a dull thud.

The dust dissipated.

Su Ming stood in place completely unharmed, patting off the non-existent dust on his arms.

In his mind, the System's notification sound rang out cheerfully:

[Ding! High-concentration kinetic impact absorbed. mass points +20,000!]

Twenty thousand in one hit!

The way Su Ming looked up at the Scorpion King completely changed.

How was this an enemy?

This was a beloved relative delivering warmth!

Meanwhile, the Scorpion King was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at his scorpion tail, then at the completely unscathed Su Ming, his eyes filled with astonishment.

What was going on?

He had clearly hit him, so why did it feel like his power vanished without a trace the moment they made contact, like a clay ox entering the sea?

"Your strength is too weak, old geezer!"

Su Ming's mocking voice rang out again, drawing maximum aggro.

"Didn't you eat today?"

He muttered softly under his breath and suddenly exerted force with his feet.

[Mass Engine] fully open!

His 150-ton body turned into an afterimage almost invisible to the naked eye, actively charging toward the Scorpion King!

The Scorpion King's pupils shrank sharply as his six scorpion tails instinctively thrust out!

Su Ming no longer parried.

He no longer dodged.

Reaching out, his five fingers clamped down like iron pincers, firmly grabbing one of the massive, bony scorpion tails thrusting toward him!

The eerie blue venom at the tip of the tail flowed in his palm, looking like a layer of hand sanitizer.

"Are you crazy?!" the Scorpion King roared in disbelief, trying to pull his tail back.

He couldn't budge it.

No matter how much force he exerted, that hand was like it was welded to the tail, remaining completely motionless.

Su Ming gripped the tail tightly, his lips curling into a grin.

"Come..."

Veins bulged on his forehead.

The massive kinetic energy he had just absorbed, mixed with his extreme 150 tons of mass, violently erupted along his left arm!

"...over here!"

The ground beneath the Scorpion King's feet shattered.

His entire body was lifted off the ground by his own poisonous tail.

Under the gaze of the tens of thousands of people present,

within the stunned sights of Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng, Chu Yao, and Tie Moshan,

under the ghost-seeing gaze of the Mantis King's compound eyes up on the dome,

and in front of nearly fifty million viewers in the live stream!

Su Ming grabbed that scorpion tail, which was thicker than his thigh,

and swung the over-two-meter-tall, multi-ton Peak Sixth-Rank Beast Seal User, the Scorpion King,

up into the air.

He spun him a full round and a half,

and then...

slammed him violently against the aluminum alloy ground!

"Boom!!!"

The earth shook and the mountains trembled!

The entire Martial Arts Arena

fell into a dead silence once again!

...
