The battlefield was filled with shattered flames, like red lotuses, like fireworks blooming, or like dancing red ribbons.
As a result of the aftershocks, the surrounding environment was as if a meteorite had crashed in and was rampaging through everything. Wherever the Black Knight was knocked away, a large crater several meters wide would appear, and patches of land would be scorched red by the intense heat, some of which had already turned black.
"You cannot kill me!" the black warrior, his body scorched red, roared again, seemingly insane.
But when faced with Li Wei's emotionless gaze, the Black Knight's heart skipped a beat.
"Impossible, this must be an illusion."
As Li Wei approached step by step, the Black Knight's expression grew increasingly grim.
However, he did not expect that Li Wei would actually undo the Hezhe transformation.
Is it no longer sustainable?
That's true, the transformation into a ghoul also requires a lot of physical strength.
Darth Vader instinctively wanted to laugh and retaliate.
Based on his experience, Li Wei in this state was crazy and didn't care about his own life at all, making him the easiest to deal with.
But then he saw Li Wei suddenly smile.
That smile chilled him to the bone.
"Do you know? Nature is a very magical thing. Everything has its counter. Antelopes eat grass, wolves eat antelopes, and wolves may be preyed upon by lions and tigers. And even powerful lions and tigers have often become slaves kept by humans."
"If you don't want to be plundered, you have to keep plundering."
"Yes, to plunder the excellence of others and make yourself better."
"Then, make sure that no other excellence can surpass your own."
"It's just a pity that when I tell other people, they don't understand, and you won't understand either."
Li Wei squatted down and said calmly to the black-clad warrior who was half-lying on the ground:
"You are useless to me, which means you have no value to me anymore."
So... you have no choice.
The Black Knight's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned deathly pale.
"Go to hell."
As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, black liquid gushed from the Black Warrior's body, and he collapsed to the ground. Soon, this black liquid melted the Black Warrior's entire body and began to continuously erode the earth.
This is the bursting of the potent poison that Li Wei injected into the Black Warrior's body while using the kick!
P.S.: Speaking of which, some readers said that Li Wei's cheat system was too overpowered after finishing the last chapter. I'm hesitant now. If I were to reveal the protagonist's true cheat system, would you all scream "Wow!" and then be so discouraged that you'd abandon the book...?
To be honest, these days, abilities like plundering and theft aren't exactly rare, right? The last chapter only touched on that aspect, and I don't think the abilities shown so far are that overpowered? (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
PS2: Is getting a contract with Shuke even harder than with a certain website...? I, the author, had already gotten contracts with two editors on that website, but I still can't get one here...orz, is Shuke really only for the big shots? *trembles with fear*
PS3: Proves its length once again! [You know what I mean by that look]
PS4: Thanks to Yalin for the donation.
Chapter Thirty-Seven: This thing was easily untied with a few quick snaps.
"That can't be..."
When Mado Kureo saw the Black Warrior disappear, his eyes were vacant, and he kept repeating the same sentence.
However, Mado Kureo soon sighed and said nothing.
Li Wei slowly walked over and stared straight at Mado Kureo.
Mado Kureo laughed; his quinque had long been damaged, and now he was unarmed.
Even so, he charged at Li Wei, who was brimming with the momentum of victory and an imposing aura, with a punch.
Li Wei did not dodge and took the punch head-on.
“I don’t need ghouls’ sympathy.” A hint of annoyance flashed in Mado Kureo’s eyes.
"Actually, I've always said that I'm not a ghoul."
Mado Kureo chuckled but did not reply.
“I know you don’t believe it, but it’s the truth. I don’t need you to believe it, because my opposition to you is inevitable.”
Li Wei nodded, then said, "Besides, I'm not sympathizing with you. Sympathy is a ridiculous thing."
"I just think you're barely a worthy opponent."
"This is a sign of respect I give to my opponent."
Mado Kureo gave a strange "ha!" "Rival? Respect? You ghouls actually care about these things? You bunch of man-eating monsters!"
Li Wei avoided the topic this time, saying, "Fine, I'll give you a quick death."
After saying that, Li Wei made a palm with his right hand and inserted his fingers straight into Mado Kureo's heart. Mado Kureo's mouth opened slightly, and blood kept flowing out.
After Li Wei withdrew his hand, a large amount of blood gushed from Mado Kureo's wound, splattering all over Li Wei.
After Mado Kureo collapsed, Li Wei turned around and left.
Actually, I'm just an ordinary human being...
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Li Wei's lips.
After walking for a while, Li Wei suddenly stopped.
Three figures suddenly appeared in front of them.
Tang Yang, Xiao Yi, and Luo Chen.
The three men each carried a box, which was what the investigators used to store Quinque.
Upon seeing Li Wei, Luo Yang couldn't contain his joy and laughed loudly, "Haha, I finally caught you!"
"Caught me?" Li Wei was completely baffled.
Then Li Wei quickly realized, "You...you thought I was running away?"
"You thought?" Tang Yang pointed at Li Wei's "disheveled" clothes and mocked, "You're covered in rags and blood, didn't you just run away in a panic?"
“That’s right. People like you who are so self-righteous are very arrogant. How could you possibly admit to such an ugly state?” Tang Yang analyzed in a serious manner.
“Indeed, arrogant people are very proud.” Li Wei nodded in agreement.
During their conversation, Xiao Yi and Luo Chen each took out their Quinques, one resembling an octopus tentacle and the other a cone-shaped weapon.
Tang Yang was somewhat surprised to hear Li Wei's words and said, "You actually admitted it?"
Then he sneered, "So, you do have normal times, huh? Where did your crazy, arrogant self go?"
"After being surrounded by us and realizing they couldn't escape, they finally surrendered?"
"But it's too late. We'll settle both the old and new scores right here and now."
“Escape?” Li Wei paused, then said, “To clarify, it’s not you surrounding me; in this situation, it’s me surrounding you.”
Tang Yang was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "So this is exactly what you would say! That's how it should be. If you didn't say it like this..."
At this point, Tang Yang gave a sinister smile: "Killing you wouldn't be so interesting."
Xiao Yi frowned slightly and interjected, "This isn't like you."
Li Wei smiled: "Doesn't look like me?"
"Ridiculous." Li Wei's face turned cold: "You're like an ant sitting in a well, unable to even see the sky a bird can see, yet you dare to presume to understand the world of a dragon?"
Tang Yang seemed to have heard a joke, "A giant dragon!? You?"
Not only Xiao Yi, but Luo Chen also frowned.
The current Li Wei... is very strange.
However, he and Xiao Yi exchanged a glance and nodded in tacit agreement.
So what if Li Wei has some mental issues? They have the advantage now. While Li Wei was standing still, they had already overtaken him.
They are not afraid of him.
Moreover, Li Wei's words made them laugh inwardly; in their eyes, perhaps Li Wei had really gone mad.
This is very likely because he was driven mad by the cycle of reincarnation.
After all, during their initial, most difficult days, they went insane several times due to the pressure of survival.
Tang Yang beckoned to Li Wei provocatively and said, "You... can keep up with my speed?"
As he spoke, Tang Yang moved around Li Wei at a very fast speed.
With their enhanced physical abilities, ordinary people can only dream of such high speeds.
"Faced with my speed—"
Tang Yang arrogantly shouted, "Despair—"
Li Wei threw a punch straight down in front of him.
"Bar……"
Tang Yang was knocked to the ground.
"..."
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Luo Chen stared blankly at Li Wei. He could only barely manage to kill Tang Yang so decisively.
Moreover, Li Wei's skills...
Luo Chen asked in disbelief, "Could it be... that you've unlocked your genetic potential too?"
"Gene lock?"
Before Li Wei could finish speaking, Xiao Yi frowned and denied it, saying, "Impossible. Your ability to unlock the gene lock is due to both your talent and the resources of the CCG."
Luo Chen also put in a lot of effort to unlock the genetic lock.
However, being able to unlock the gene lock in this way is already quite remarkable. In the cycle of reincarnation, countless people have paid a price of life and death for the gene lock.
Genetic lock is like an insurmountable barrier for humanity; crossing it is no easy feat.
"Li Wei doesn't have those resources, so his chances of unlocking his genetic potential in this world are very small."
"unless……"
Xiao Yi suddenly realized and said, "You... you've mixed in a ghoul's organs?"
Yes, considering the original protagonist's experiences, Li Wei is likely to have had a similar fate. After all, unlike them, Li Wei has always stayed with the ghouls, so it's not surprising that he became a hybrid.
"Otherwise, you couldn't have reached this level."
Tang Yang struggled to his feet, glaring at Li Wei with hatred, and said, "Bastard, you actually ambushed me?"
This Tang Yang is really interesting.
"I just didn't expect that someone like you would betray your own dignity as a human being," Xiao Yi sneered.
"But that makes sense. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to unlock your genetic potential. It's just too difficult. I thought you were amazing, but it turns out you had to compromise to become stronger."
"As far as I remember, the encyclopedia defines the gene lock like this—" Li Wei began to speak:
"Gene lock refers to the most basic potential hidden in the human body. A large part of human genes has not been used. These genes are a reflection of the evolutionary path of life on Earth."
"From the most primitive single-celled organisms to fish, reptiles, and humans, many kinds of gene fragments can be found in them. There are even some genes whose uses and origins are still unknown to humans. The so-called unlocking of the gene lock refers to activating these dormant gene fragments and using the potential within the human body to break through the limits."
After saying that, Li Wei smiled and said, "After unlocking the genetic lock, you will feel relaxed and comfortable, and you will see the world more clearly."
"This is the sublimation of life, the evolution of essence, which makes it easier for people to understand the rules of all things."
Xiao Yi frowned more and more as he listened, a sense of unease rising within him.
Li Wei's understanding of gene locks seems to surpass that of the senior student who brought him to school.
Then, Li Wei continued:
"This kind of thing—"
“From the age of three until now, I don’t know how many times I’ve untied it with a bang.”
