Chapter 2530: This Is Impossible
It’s not the middle-aged man encountered before, but judging from the appearance, he should undoubtedly be a player from District 001. It’s obvious the other party has been trapped for quite some time, given the numerous traces left in the room. Not a single piece of furniture remains intact. When Xu Huo entered, this person was slumped against the wall, with two empty wine bottles by his hand.
As soon as they faced each other, the man saw his face and stood up warily. Xu Huo raised his hand, signaling him to calm down.
The space teaching of those buildings depicted on the map is clearly progressive. Only the shorter buildings along the route are the chosen teaching locations. The middle-aged man didn’t tell the whole truth; it’s not just him who entered here, but also more gifted companions who came along.
"Your companions outside should have told you, I’m just here to try it out. Since everyone wants to get out, there’s no need to waste energy fighting here, what do you think?" Xu Huo said.
The man, of course, knew that players from the Metal City had entered the Outer Zone. He was surprised that Xu Huo arrived so quickly. His companions had mentioned that most of the new arrivals were likely Time-Directed Super Evolvers, but they didn’t mention he was also a Space-oriented Super Evolver!
Could it be that he started evolving only after entering?
No, that’s impossible!
But if he hadn’t passed the first two teachings before, he definitely wouldn’t have triggered the third. Many players from District 001 were eliminated during the first teaching. He had the longest stay, taking nineteen days to pass the first two teachings, which was only possible because he was nearly able to construct a Super Space Body on his own. Many of his companions, even those with stronger Evolutionary Abilities, were eliminated due to different evolutionary directions. How could someone who just evolved have such talent!
Xu Huo ignored him and combined the spatial power here to form a not-too-large number of Super Space Body Belts. After that, he tried to combine a second, and then a third.
With the aid of the venue, he barely maintained three small Space Body Belts, then combined them and compressed them into space. This was the step to create a progressive polyhedron. At this stage, the spatial power underwent changes and reached a visible level.
Of course, this was also difficult to accomplish. Xu Huo often neglected to control the Space Body Belt while compressing it, leading to a total collapse. At such a stage, the spatial power became quite destructive, so he could only continuously stack Space Barrier outside until the forces canceled each other out.
The furniture in the room, already in a state of disrepair, became even more tattered.
During this time, the player from District 001 lent a hand. When the destructive spatial power completely subsided, he approached Xu Huo and greeted him, "I’m Qiu Xiangming, Deputy Minister of the United Capital General Law Enforcement Department."
"Xu Zhi." Xu Huo nodded at him and asked, "If we can’t deconstruct the Space Barrier, can we still get out?"
"Of course," Qiu Xiangming said. "The seal is lifted every ten days. Even if we do nothing, we can get out in ten days."
Xu Huo thought that leaving might not be that easy and said while trying again, "If I’m not mistaken, your people must have tried and found no chance, so they left, right? How many people are still here currently?"
"Just me and the teammate you saw outside," Qiu Xiangming continued his attempt. "Were you originally a Space-oriented Super Evolver?"
Xu Huo knew he wasn’t telling the truth, nodded, and added, "You’ve been trapped for quite some time. Hasn’t the District Government thought about getting Super Props or Super Instruments from other districts to break the siege?"
"If it were that easy, this wouldn’t be a Super Dungeon venue," Qiu Xiangming said with some arrogance.
Xu Huo glanced at him, "Is it that there are no suitable props or instruments, or is it that they’re afraid people will find out the Super Dungeon’s location and choose to abandon you?"
As the Deputy Minister of the District Government’s General Law Enforcement Department, Qiu Xiangming surely knew more than other trapped companions. He didn’t argue but remained silent.
"It seems that the situation isn’t as dire as the District Government claims," Xu Huo said calmly, while blocking a spatial body collapse from the room’s other side with a Space Barrier.
Qiu Xiangming looked down and laughed slightly, "Our value is negligible compared to a Super Dungeon."
"If there were no Super Dungeon, District 001 would immediately give birth to thousands of random dungeons. It’s unimaginable how many people these dungeons could kill simultaneously. What’s the sacrifice of a few Rank-A players?"
Xu Huo did not comment. He saw Qiu Xiangming lose control again, causing his own Super Space Body Belt to collapse, and couldn’t help but say, "Maybe you should adjust your state and try again?"
Embarrassed, Qiu Xiangming retreated back to the wall, supporting his arm on one knee as he sat down, and watched him practice.
Xu Huo took half the time to finally find a bit of feeling. However, whether it was the Super Space Body or the Super Space Body Belt, the number of combinations was reduced, and in the end, he barely managed to create a polyhedron.
A small polyhedron floated in the air, only the size of a fingertip, with a vague outline. To achieve the visual illusion of a kaleidoscope effect, it still needed to be combined into a Space Body Belt, thus completing the basic unit of a Kaleidoscope World, also the smallest visible Kaleidoscope World.
Of course, if the power were sufficient, this polyhedron could be compressed smaller, perhaps the size of an ant or a speck of dust. Such power compression might easily be overlooked.
After admiring the polyhedron for a while, he started to slowly deconstruct it.
This made Qiu Xiangming, who was casually watching him, turn serious. For him, dismantling was much more challenging than assembling, because every time he disassembled, the space body habitually collapsed. In other words, he could barely hold down a whole body, but once one place lost balance, it would all collapse like dominoes, beyond control midway.
Xu Huo was unconcerned and repeatedly assembled and deconstructed hundreds of times, stopping only when he confirmed his proficiency.
"How did you do it?" Qiu Xiangming, who had been trying repeatedly without success, couldn’t help asking when he saw Xu Huo stop.

Xu Huo took out the communicator, gathered some information about Spatial Evolution he had collected before, and listened while trying.
The information about Super Evolution was varied and vast, and he hadn’t finished reading it before, so now it was a good time to see if it was useful.
Two more days quickly passed. When he was once again exhausted, the black passage appeared on the ceiling. This time he tried, feeling the portal a bit loose, although it seemed not quite ready to open.
This time, he was smart. He didn’t rush to break the Space Barrier and leave but instead caught up on sleep in the furniture store before making a hole by the main entrance to go outside.
To avoid getting in trouble again, he headed straight for the first marked building. But to his surprise, this time, someone was inside.
