Chapter 1121: The Leader of the Test Subjects

Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1

The deformed bone axes were still connected by tendons to The Madman, so they could be quickly retrieved and assembled back into the arms. The first time The Madman threw the bone axes, it was very abrupt, catching Ronnie off guard and dealing him a heavy hit. However, not only did Ronnie manage to dodge the second throw, he also managed to sever the tendon connecting the bone axe to the arm.

Victory was already decided after that.

So far, The Fool and The Madman had both lost against the people on Sheyan’s side, but the odd thing was, none of the remaining 20 odd humans showed any signs of panicking. They just looked over with cold gazes.

When Sheyan saw this, he immediately understood that there must be more than three Ten Strongest test subjects among them. There were probably close to ten of them, but those three should be the strongest among the test subjects.

In this camp of about sixty people, it was clear that the ruling class consisted of the Ten Strongest test subjects, while the class being ruled consisted of people like Hadrick. The reason they sent three people out for the duel was: (1) to see how strong the contestants really were, and (2) to leave a way out for themselves in case they lost.

If they did not do that, it was hard to say if the contestants would wreck their spaceship in a full scuffle. They would have a really hard time in the days to come if the spaceship was destroyed. That was why they preferred to have 1v1 duels. This way, it would be great if they won, but even if they lost, they would only lose the Pi ores which were useless to them in the short terms and not be harmed in other ways.

Sheyan was just about to ask if the next fight was still necessary when the woman in camouflage clothes walked out with a stone in her left hand.

A black stone.

The surface of the stone was quite smooth; it was evident that the stone had kept her company for many years.

The woman hung her head low and did not look over to this side. In a low voice, as if she was talking to herself, she said, “You call yourself an assassin with skills like that? What a joke! Who’s next?”

When Ronnie heard the woman’s words, he immediately bounced up and gave her a venomous glare. The woman completely ignored him.

Aldaris strode forward, licking his lips and sneering.

“Let me try.”

The woman gave Aldaris a cold glance but did not move. While Aldaris was still confused by her actions, the ground half a meter behind him deformed and sunk, and a firm, powerful footprint appeared. The footprint appeared very suddenly, but Aldaris did not feel any sense of danger from it!

The next second, the woman with dishevelled hair was already behind him, standing there quietly as if she had always been there. She raised the stone and slammed it down hard on the back of Aldaris’ head like the way one would use a brick in a street fight!

Aldaris’ vision suddenly turned black. A burst of sharp pain was instantly transmitted from the back of his head. However, he was a very experienced fighter. He immediately borrowed the force from that strike to rush forward with a roar.

Without any signs of casting, a lightning bolt struck behind Aldaris. If the woman pursued him, she would be hit by the bolt for sure.

When the woman who had stood still again was struck by the bolt of lightning, she was split apart – it was just an illusion! The real her had appeared behind Aldaris again!

With a dazzling flash of light, a long, slender piece of beast bone which had been deliberately sharpened stabbed into the back of Aldaris!

The beast bone was hollow, and the poison contained in it was instantly injected into Aldaris’ body. His entire body immediately turned numb, his throat making strangled noises.

The woman kicked Aldaris in the back of his left knee, toppling him. The beast bone immediately penetrated deep into his body like a drill. It appeared that not only his flesh, but his bones too were torn in the process. A large hole was about to be drilled in the centre of his body!

Witnessing this, not just Sheyan; Dardanian, Pokan, and even Paul, who usually hid his emotions well, also found their faces white as a sheet!

“That…Was that a continuous instantaneous short-distance teleportation?!!??? How’s that possible? Why is there a monster like this here?”

Even Cyborg No. 1’s face had turned grave.

“Such…Such a strong teleportation ability. Is she a test subject of The Traveller, the most troublesome among the Ten Strongest?”

Aldarius was having a hard time. He fought back madly, but his strike was evaded by the woman, and he was hit hard again. Then, the poison in his body acted up and he fell into a long stunned state. He ended up losing the battle!

By now, the contestants could already tell that only the first three blinks of the woman’s teleportation ability had no cooldown and no consumption, but after the third time, she had to wait for at least 30 seconds to blink a fourth time. More importantly, she did not transform, which meant that she would not enjoy the boost in defence and attack power; her body remained very fragile. But maybe it was because she did not see the need to transform against a mage-type.

Even so, Dardanian, Pokan and Paul already had cold sweats on their backs at the thought of a ghostly assassin who could teleport behind their backs three times in a row. When they saw how tragic Aldaris was, they could not help questioning whether they could survive those three fierce blows themselves!

The only one who did not seem to care was Sheyan.

That’s right. Even without using his diseases, the probability of the woman killing him with three instantaneous teleportations was zero, unless she cooperated with The Fool. As soon as she stopped, ‘Verdict’ would let her know real terror!

The woman threw Aldaris who was completely paralysed by the poison aside and sneered.

“Next.”

Dardanian, Pokan and Paul acted dumb and looked aside, so Sheyan stood up with a smirk and stepped forward.

“Let me try.”

The woman in camouflage obviously knew her own weaknesses well. Looking at Sheyan who was standing there like an immovable mountain, she finally felt threatened. She protested loudly, “You’ve already fought!”

“But I won!” Sheyan dismissed lightly. “Since you can fight again after you win, why can’t I?”

The woman in camouflage was immediately at a loss for words.

But at this moment, from a spot far away in the jungle, came a hoarse and arrogant voice.

“You think you’re so strong, don’t you? I’ll teach you what being strong really means!”

Upon hearing this voice, the native humans on the other side showed two different kinds of expressions. The first was extreme fear, an instinctive fear like the kind shown by a mouse encountering its natural predator, the cat! The other kind of expression was a mix of excitement and joy!

The former appeared on the faces of the ordinary humans, while the latter naturally appeared on the faces of the test subjects.

The sound of heavy footsteps transmitted over from the dark jungle, like the sound of an ancient tyrannosaur crashing the ground heavily while it was hunting. Then, a huge dark silhouette emerged. The size of the dark silhouette shocked the contestants to no end, because it was at least five meters tall and three meters wide.

But soon, they discovered that the huge silhouette was composed of four individual silhouettes.

The bottom silhouette turned out to be a somewhat burly human.

While the other three silhouettes were actually giant beasts carried by the human!

Giant beast corpses!!

The contestants were no strangers to these giant beasts; they were the Slaadi that the contestants had fought back in the canyon! Back then, the whole team took a great deal of trouble to kill a Slaad even with a dual-MT configuration, but this man seemed to have single-handedly hunted three Slaadi and carried them back on his back!

This also indicated that he had to deal with other beasts that would have surely been attracted by the smell of blood along the way!

Such strength!!

Sheyan’s pupils started to shrink gradually, and the blood in his veins started to burn.

That feeling was called excitement.

The man came up to Sheyan, threw the three dead Slaadi aside, and stared at him.

“You just fought with The Fool, while I just got back from hunting. Both of us aren’t in our peak conditions. We’ll meet here again in three hours to determine the winner!”

On the Kitty Hawk base 2.7 million kilometers away.

Major General Mungo, who had just woken up, witnessed this scene. After a long pause, he immediately took a recording of the man’s face and shouted into the communicator, “Do a facial recognition analysis of the target and get me his information at once! The most detailed information you can get!”

Major General Mungo’s roar echoed in the office, but strangely, only a dull beeping sound came from the other side. He was stunned momentarily and immediately pressed another button.

“Get me the mechanical department. I want someone to check on the communication systems!”

But the response he got was still the dull beeping sound. Then, hissing noises came from the steel alloy automatic door near Major General Mungo. A blazing white tongue of heat cut a rectangle in the steel alloy automatic door which could withstand the blast of a missile!

Next, several feet rammed hard into the rectangular cutout! The door that symbolised Major General Mungo’s privacy, dignity and authority was ruthlessly kicked down and trampled on!
