The Great Genetic Era Chapter 84 - Don't Go All-out

Chapter 84: Don’t Go All-out

The fifth floor of the training building was where fourth-year students attended public lessons. However, in this Great Genetic Age, not many fourth year seniors are in the school anymore.

Thus, the public training hall occupied less than a third of the second floor.

As for the remaining area, the school had set up a relatively high-standard arena that was bulletproof on all sides. It was the kind that could withstand the shots from firearms and energy weapons. It was convenient for some students to go through extreme tests.

Li Cheng and the rest of the students from the School of Enlightened Mind arrived at Arena 4. It was a room that was 25 meters long and 15 meters wide.

They could get a teacher to be the judge. However, they had to pay a little for a private battle like this. Otherwise, if 10% of the school’s students asked the teacher to be the judge, the teacher would have to do nothing but this.

“Cla.s.s monitor, I’ll contact a student to understand the situation. You have to be careful of Li Cheng. He had already been a Level F genetic liberator when he started the school level a.s.sessment. Now, he was a Level E genetic liberator.

“It was rumored that he had already activated four genetic ability chains. He had immense battle prowess. In the Extreme Branch, Li Cheng was already a guaranteed student on the Longhu List. He might not be in the top 10, but he was definitely in the top 100. He was very powerful.

“Based on his current battle record, not many people in the Extreme Branch Inst.i.tute could defeat him.

“Based on the reaction speed just now, Li Cheng is one of the few students around the 120 millisecond mark.”

Rong Youyang did not have any talents or abilities. He was a standard student from the School of Enlightened Mind. However, he was an expert at gathering information.

“Also, you have to pay attention to the person called w.a.n.g Zixuan. I don’t know what level of a genetic liberator he is, but I think that he has not been determined yet. However, he had defeated Deng Wei in battle.

“He was primarily a power-type, while his speed-type abilities were supplementary. He was the complete opposite of Li Cheng. Yes, he had defeated Deng Wei once before he became a Lonely t.e.s.t.i.c.l.e Warrior.

“It has been almost two weeks since he defeated Deng Wei. His strength must have increased greatly. You have to be careful. As for the rest, I think that it would not be difficult for you to deal with them, Cla.s.s Monitor.”

Xu Tui felt that the situation had become much clearer now that he had an expert in intelligence like the academician Rong Youyang. Even though he did not know everything about the person, he was not as confused as before.

“Alright. Thank you. My treat if you win.”

Rong Youyang’s eyes lit up. “Alright. You sure are straightforward. How are you treating me? Can I choose?”

“You can choose anything within the 50-dollar range.”

“Tch!” Even though he said that with disdain, Rong Youyang made an OK gesture. Xu Tui was not allowed to go back on his word.

Xu Tui carefully put on all of his protective gear. He was deeply affected by a sentence that Professor Luo s.h.i.+feng had said during his lesson today. He only had one life. No matter how confident he was, he had to put on protective gear during any training that involved danger.

Clearly, w.a.n.g Zixuan, who had been the first to get onto the stage, also remembered that sentence.

Of course, it might also be because of the precedent of Deng Wei being a single t.e.s.t.i.c.l.e superman, but w.a.n.g Zixuan put on his jockstraps, knee guards, and even a helmet and goggles very seriously.

Clearly, they had studied the video of Xu Tui and Deng Wei’s battle many times. They even had some thoughts about it.

Xu Tui slowly stepped onto the stage.

Li Cheng was not the first to go on stage. This made Xu Tui think even more highly of Li Cheng. He was a calm opponent.

“Are you guys ready?” Li Cheng, who was standing below the stage and acting as the temporary judge along with Rong Youyang, asked.

“I’m ready.”

Xu Tui and w.a.n.g Zixuan nodded at the same time.

“Oh, yes, Xu Tui, do you need soybeans or marbles? We know that that is one of your abilities,” Li Cheng proactively asked.

Xu Tui shook his head. “Itt will be a battle. I’ll only use my Mystery Branch abilities today.”

Li Cheng gave Xu Tui a thumbs-up when he heard him.

“The same goes for us. The main focus of today’s battle is the battle. Even though the Extreme Branch uses our full strength the moment we attack, we will not be able to continue attacking you once you show signs of losing.”

On the stage, w.a.n.g Zixuan nodded. “Don’t worry. I know when to stop.”

“Yes, I recommend that you do not use your full strength the moment you attack,” Xu Tui suddenly said.

“Why?”

w.a.n.g Zixuan was very curious. So were Li Cheng and the rest of the students. After all, the Extreme Branch unleashed speed and power. They naturally used their full strength when they attacked.

“You’ll know in a while.”

Xu Tui let out a mysterious smile.

Xu Tui has been improving these days. He was also improving. He was also reflecting on himself.

During his first battle with Deng Wei the other day, he had only used the mental awl at a low level.

The Xu Tui today was different. He had agreed to the battle today because he wanted to verify his theory.

“Get ready!”

“Start!”

Li Cheng gave the order, but the expected scene did not happen.

w.a.n.g Zixuan did not attack at full speed like Deng Wei did. Instead, he adopted a defensive stance and slowly approached Xu Tui.

A distance of 5 meters.

Three meters.

2.5 meters.

Clearly, the students from the Extreme Branch had come up with a way to deal with Xu Tui’s Mystery Branch abilities after the video of his battle with Deng Wei was released to the public. It looked like they had come to Xu Tui to verify what they were thinking.

w.a.n.g Zixuan had not attacked when he was 2 meters away from Xu Tui.

The students from the School of Enlightened Mind, Rong Youyang, and the rest of the students from the School of Enlightened Mind clenched their fists in nervousness. During their recent cla.s.ses, almost all of the teachers had said that students from the Mystery Branch had to keep their distance from their enemies during battle.

That was a safety precaution.

A student from the Extreme Branch could instantly kill a student from the Mystery Branch Inst.i.tute at a distance of two meters with a burst of power. There was no doubt about it.

“Cla.s.s Rep, you should retreat too!” Rong Youyang was extremely anxious. He almost roared.

Xu Tui did not move. He looked at the slowly approaching w.a.n.g Zixuan with a smile. He did not seem nervous at all.

“I’m going to attack. That’s your weakness.” w.a.n.g Zixuan reminded Xu Tui in a gentlemanly manner. He slowly approached Xu Tui again. He moved when he was within 1.8 meters of Xu Tui. He took a step forward and punched forward. While he was attacking, he closed in on Xu Tui with lightning speed.

Xu Tui did not move. There were no signs of defense. It was as if he was going to stand there and get beaten up.

Li Cheng was shocked. Was Xu Tui not as powerful as he looked in the video?

However, w.a.n.g Zixuan, who was attacking with all his strength, did not have that many thoughts. At this moment, all of his attention was focused on the battle. Just as he was about to take a step forward and punch forward, w.a.n.g Zixuan turned around again. This was a feint. He whipped his leg toward Xu Tui’s leg at lightning speed, intending to knock him down.

It was also at this moment that Xu Tui’s gaze froze.

Bang! Bang!

A gasp of pain and the sound of hitting a brick rang out.

w.a.n.g Zixuan’s kick suddenly met with indescribable resistance when it was 5 centimeters away from Xu Tui’s leg.

w.a.n.g Zixuan felt as though he had just kicked a rock. He must have kicked two rocks in a row. He shattered the first piece but not the second.

w.a.n.g Zixuan felt as though his bones were going to break from touching a rock with his physical body.

Strangely, there was nothing between Xu Tui’s legs.

w.a.n.g Zixuan, who was gasping in pain, hugged his leg and instantly became like a golden rooster standing alone. He quickly removed his socks and shoes. The back of w.a.n.g Zixuan’s foot was rapidly swelling and turning blue. He looked at Xu Tui with an extremely shocked and strange gaze. Then, Li Cheng quickly stepped forward and touched the back of w.a.n.g Zixuan’s leg.

“There are no fractures. Let’s put on ice first, then spray the swelling and bruise spray. We’ll then go and check it out. If there are any fractures, we’ll administer a growth-accelerating needle. You should be able to recover in one to two days.

“Should I get someone to send you there first?” Li Cheng asked.

People from the Extreme Branch were rather experienced with external injuries.

“I’ll ice and spray it. We’ll talk after I watch your battle.” w.a.n.g Zixuan had been defeated for no rhyme or reason. He was naturally unwilling to leave just like that. Furthermore, he wanted to continue watching the battle.

At that instant, both Li Cheng and his Extreme Branch students felt that they had made the right decision in coming today.

They had never encountered such a strange way of fighting in their previous battles. They would benefit greatly from watching and discussing such a battle when they got back.

Rong Youyang was also dumbfounded. Was the Enlightened Mind Type that powerful? Or was the cla.s.s monitor extraordinary?

“I told you not to use your full strength the moment you attack,” Xu Tui said.

“My injury is not serious. It has nothing to do with you. I did not expect it. This battle… was worth it!” w.a.n.g Zixuan said.

“Who’s next?” Xu Tui suddenly shouted. His eyes were filled with confidence.

Li Cheng was still not in a hurry to get onto the stage. Instead, a student from the Extreme Branch went onto the stage to fight Xu Tui.

Xu Tui activated his mental senses and became extremely focused.

Just like how he had dealt with w.a.n.g Zixuan, Xu Tui only activated the mental awl when his opponent’s attacks were about to land on his body. Xu Tui activated his mental senses and judgment, as well as his powerful reflexes. He had used the enemy’s own strength to injure them.

Powerful mental senses could detect the slightest change in an opponent within a certain radius. If Xu Tui had more experience, there would be fewer feints that could fool him.

Of course, Xu Tui’s method of placing the mental awls today had an important premise: reflexes. His reflexes must be faster than his opponents, perhaps even a little faster. Otherwise, he would not be able to come up with a response within a short time even if he had a prediction.

After all, Xu Tui had very little time to react at such a close distance. If not for the enhancement he got during cla.s.s today, Xu Tui would not have had such an easy time.

“Two more rounds?”

Li Cheng handed over the other two bottles of Level E Energy Restoration Elixirs.

“Alright!” Xu Tui accepted the gift readily.

The third Extreme Branch student went up to battle Xu Tui. He had learned his lesson from w.a.n.g Zixuan and the other student. He did not use his full strength, and he had many feints. He even used a feint-based technique.

However, it still crashed into the mental awls that Xu Tui had set up. The fist became red and swollen as he retreated.

In the fourth match, Li Cheng finally got onto the stage.

“Student Xu Tui, we finally understand why Deng Wei lost that day. Not only that, but he was a little shameless. Just as the commentator said, you had held back during your battle with Deng Wei the other day.

“Deng Wei did not realize it. He was not grateful enough to stop. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and attacked.

“All I can say is that he deserves it!”

Xu Tui felt extremely comfortable hearing those words. He also felt an inexplicable sense of relief. After all, even though the reputation of crippling a student was justified, it still sounded a little brutal.

Now, Xu Tui was finally understood.

Xu Tui did not speak. He was like a hero in an ancient martial arts film. He cupped his hands toward Li Cheng.

“Student Xu Tui, your Mystery Branch ability is indeed very strange. However, it is not as if you have no way of dealing with it. You have to be careful later.”

Li Cheng, who had observed the battle three times, finally got onto the stage after he put on his jockstraps and helmet gla.s.ses. Even though he already had some understanding of Xu Tui. However, Xu Tui had a notorious reputation from his previous battles. He had to be careful. He did not like the t.i.tle of Single t.e.s.t.i.c.l.e Superman at all.

“Get ready!”

“Start!”

Rong Youyang, who was acting as the referee, shouted.
