Chapter 485 - 380: What Position Will One Hold in This Turbulent World?
They instantly began to fuse together.
In the blink of an eye, he had transformed back into the bald, burly man from before.
But now, his facial features were exceptionally refined and scholarly.
He looked like a scholar who had been immersed in academic research for years,
exuding a gentle and cultured air that stood in stark contrast to his powerful and mysterious strength.
He slowly extended a hand into the air.
The movement seemed gentle, yet it carried an irresistible force.
Like a bolt of lightning, his hand shot out and seized Chu He’s wrist.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
Chu He felt a strange power travel up his arm.
He watched helplessly as his own arm,
starting from the fingertips, was rapidly assimilated into blue particles.
The blue spread bit by bit, like a relentless tide devouring a sandy shore.
The assimilation was incredibly fast, reaching his upper arm in the blink of an eye.
’Chu He was astonished.’
He quickly pulled back, but even so,
the assimilated part had already detached from his body. He had lost an arm.
Chu He’s brow furrowed.
A grave look flashed in his eyes.
’He had a new assessment of the Doctor’s strength.’
Witnessing this astonishing scene, Florian was instantly overjoyed, his delight written all over his face.
He had never expected the Doctor’s strength to be so formidable.
In a single exchange, he had disabled one of Chu He’s arms.
’In his eyes, even if Chu He was Blue Star’s number one expert,’
’losing an arm was like a bird losing a wing.’
’His combat power was sure to be greatly diminished.’
’The scales of this battle had already begun to tip in their favor. The dawn of victory seemed to be glittering just ahead.’
The Doctor’s face, however, showed no sign of triumph.
Instead, it was filled with confusion and doubt.
His gaze was locked tightly onto Chu He.
Because he had clearly sensed that Chu He seemed to have let him grab that arm on purpose.
’The Doctor knew full well that with Chu He’s status and reputation as Blue Star’s number one expert,’
’his reaction speed and combat instincts could never be so dull. How could he have been caught so easily?’
’There had to be some hidden trick.’
’But as for what it was, he couldn’t figure it out for the moment.’
"HA, HAHAHA!"
Uzi laughed wildly, bellowing, "I can’t say I’m a fan of that bald guy,
but I have to admit, he’s damn strong!
After Chu He is killed, you, my little beauty, will have no choice but to become my plaything.
When that time comes, I’ll be sure to ’take good care’ of you."
His eyes were fixed on Xia Chengli’s delicate, beautiful face,
filled with greed and desire. He looked like a starving wolf staring at its prey.
Drool was even about to drip from the edge of his torn lips, making him look utterly vile and disgusting.
"You’re disgusting. A total creep.
Compared to my Brother Chu, you’re not even in the same league."
Xia Chengli said with a look of utter disdain, her voice filled with contempt.
Of course, she had also noticed the sudden development on Chu He’s side and was equally shocked.
She couldn’t imagine how, in the instant Chu He clashed with the bald man,
one of his arms had been turned into blue particles and then simply vanished so bizarrely.
"The power you wield is quite peculiar.
This is the first time I’ve ever encountered it.
The mutations of Superhumans can truly bring about unexpected surprises."
Chu He nodded slightly, a look of appreciation on his face as he praised him generously.
The moment his arm was being assimilated into particles,
Chu He had already perceived that this assimilating force was unstoppable, like a surging tide.
Once it arrived, it could not be reversed.
If he tried to resist it by force, the only result would be his entire body being assimilated into blue particles, putting him past the point of no return.
Hearing Chu He’s praise, the Doctor couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.
He had originally thought that disabling one of Chu He’s arms
would surely provoke the man’s rage and hatred. He never expected
to receive such sincere praise instead.
He was completely different from Florian, who was now grinning from ear to ear, ecstatic.
Just moments before, he had been agonizing over the immense price he’d paid to hire the Doctor.
But now, seeing the Doctor’s dominant performance,
he felt it was all worth it—a true bargain.
The Doctor, however, did not feel the least bit relieved.
On the contrary, a strong sense of unease washed over him.
’He knew very well that for any other opponent,’
’losing an arm right at the start would undoubtedly be a huge blow to their combat strength.’
’It would also deal a heavy psychological blow,’
’plunging them into panic and fear.’
And yet, he couldn’t find a single trace of such emotion on Chu He’s face.
Chu He remained perfectly calm and composed,
as if the arm he had lost was of no importance whatsoever.
’Just why was that?’
This time, even the exceptionally intelligent and experienced Doctor
was plunged into deep confusion, unable to comprehend Chu He’s actions and mindset.
’The Doctor had always considered his own mentality to be sufficiently disciplined and steady.’
’He had never stopped honing his temperament and composure in his daily life.’
’But he knew in his heart that if he were in Chu He’s position,’
’having suffered such a grievous blow, he would never be able to praise his enemy like that,’
’let alone maintain such calm and composure.’
Chu He’s reaction was already beyond his scope of knowledge and understanding.
