Lu Zixun felt the killing intent in an instant. It was too late to activate his nano armor, so he could only activate his Steel Body.
However, the energy that hit Lu Zixun still caused him to spit out blood from the pain, his ribs all broken, and his internal energy roiled.
"Ding—Surprise value from the assassination king insect detected: +4000."
Only then did the system’s prompt sound chime in, and Lu Zixun felt that something was amiss.
The so-called killing intent value from the assassination king insect had not been detected earlier.
In other words, when it struck Lu Zixun, it had no killing intent.
At this moment, Lu Zixun couldn’t help feeling a shiver of fear. If it weren’t for his Steel Body and the gift from Yue Sichen, he probably would have died at the hands of the assassination king insect.
An attack that could ignore the superpower energy shield and hide its Killing Intent Value truly deserved the name assassination king insect.
The assassination king insect, failing to strike its target, fled immediately, not giving Gui Xiaomeng a chance to act.
Lin Siyin’s face was filled with urgency as she hurried to Lu Zixun’s side.
Seeing the ferocious look on Lu Zixun’s face, she dared not move him carelessly.
"Da Ju, how are you doing? I’m contacting Brother Kang right now."
Her voice choked with sobs, Lin Siyin’s eyes sparkled with tears as she took out her phone and started to call Xiong Kang.
"Hurry... bring out the Array Formation Plate."
Struggling to utter these words, Lu Zixun felt like he was about to die; he truly had been careless.
While informing Xiong Kang of the location, Lin Siyin took out the Array Formation Plate.
Gui Xiaomeng slapped her hand on the Array Formation Plate, channeling Spiritual Energy into it, causing the plate to start spinning.
Invisible energy dissipated around the Array Formation Plate, forming a barely perceptible barrier of gas around them.
Just as Lu Zixun had expected, the assassination king insect had not gone far. A red energy once again rushed out from the shadows.
The red energy was shattered by the gas emitted by the Array Formation Plate, and this time, the position of the assassination king insect was locked by Gui Xiaomeng.
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking
the assassination king insect to ashes.
Gui Xiaomeng frowned, seemingly surprised that her attack had actually killed the assassination king insect instantly.
Shaking her head, she put that matter aside for the moment, and came to Lu Zixun’s side to check his injuries.
Her brow furrowed again: "The bow-shaped bone is broken; setting the bone is necessary."
During the examination, Gui Xiaomeng herself was alarmed.
She could feel the strength of Lu Zixun’s body. Lu Zixun, as a cat, had his most flexible bow-shaped bone broken by a single attack, let alone humans.
"Ding—Urgency value from Lin Siyin detected: +1500."
"Can we send Da Ju to a pet hospital now? I... I’ll call for a car right now."
Lin Siyin, somewhat at a loss for what to do, took out her phone to make a call, but it was seized by Su Nian who snapped it shut.
Su Nian, who had turned pale from the sudden appearance of the abnormal creatures, was now calm and collected: "Sister Si Yin, don’t panic. We can’t send Da Ju to the hospital with this injury. We need to wait for STO’s people to arrive. Otherwise, without anyone to protect Da Ju, if another assassination king insect appears, he will be in even greater danger."
"Ding—Worry value from Su Nian detected: +500."
Xiong Kang drove through red lights, arriving at the location Lin Siyin had sent him.
Seeing Lu Zixun lying on the ground, barely breathing, Xiong Kang’s pupils shrank.
"Ding—Fear value from Xiong Kang detected: +4000."
Hearing the system’s prompt sound, Lu Zixun felt a sigh of relief.
A wave of dizziness washed over him, and everything went black as Lu Zixun passed out.
Before losing consciousness, Lu Zixun still heard Xiong Kang’s roar.
And the last thought in Lu Zixun’s mind was, "Being humiliated in front of all these people, I must find him and settle the score once I wake up."
"The Array Formation Plate from the Gongsun Family, it seems they can’t sit idly by anymore."
Setting down the binoculars in hand, he looked at Ma Jiang kneeling on the ground.
Tan Ye tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "The information you gave me was incorrect."
At these words, Ma Jiang, who knelt on the ground, shivered, bowing his head and saying, "Master, I dare not!"
Facing Ma Jiang who continuously kowtowed, Tan Ye’s gaze was calm, and he picked at his fingernail, "Your identity hasn’t been exposed, has it?"
"Re, replying to master’s words..."
Ma Jiang, dizzy from the kowtowing, paused for a moment before continuing, "My identity has definitely not been exposed, please rest assured, master."
Blowing on his fingernail, Tan Ye cast a nonchalant glance at Ma Jiang, "The incident at the villa three days from now must not fail. If it does, go join Lin He in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave."
"Master rest assured, I have already arranged everything properly for this matter!"
Looking at Lu Zixun, who was previously severely injured by the assassination king insect, a slight smile formed at the corner of Tan Ye’s mouth, "And that cat, no matter what method you use, bring it to the villa as well."
Seemingly realizing that Lin Siyin was not a member of the student council, upon hearing Tan Ye’s request, Ma Jiang’s face showed difficulty.
The next second, Ma Jiang was lifted by the throat off the ground by Tan Ye.
With killing intent in his eyes, Tan Ye looked at the struggling Ma Jiang, "You originally said it was just to kill Liu Shishi, but you almost killed my most important chess piece."
"I can plant one Ma Jiang, I can plant a second. Do you understand?"
Wanting to answer Tan Ye, Ma Jiang couldn’t speak. His face flushing red, he struggled to nod his head in the face of death.
"The wise adapt to the times."
Muttering indifferently, Tan Ye released Ma Jiang’s throat.
Ma Jiang thudded to the ground, gasping greedily for the surrounding air.
"Remember, there’s no room for error."
When Lu Zixun woke up, he saw Long Ya sitting in the room doing her homework.
Lu Zixun was stunned for a moment, before realizing that he must be in Long Jiuri’s home.
Just as he tried to get up, Lu Zixun found himself unable to move.
Looking down, he was wrapped around with layers of bandages, with metal plates on either side of his body.
He looked exactly like an Ancient Egyptian Cat.
Feeling his body’s condition, Lu Zixun’s face turned bitter.
His broken bow-shaped bone was slowly healing; with Lu Zixun’s physical condition, he had to lie still for at least two days before he could move normally.
Turning his head, he caught Long Ya’s eyes, filled with surprise and joy upon seeing him awake.
"Ding——Surprise value from Long Ya detected, +1000."
In just a few days, Long Ya had become a Genetic Optimization Soldier.
Before Lu Zixun even got the chance to greet Long Ya, he watched the young girl drop her pen and paper and run out of the room.
With a wry smile, Lu Zixun looked up at the ceiling.
I need to find a Superpower that can enhance my physical condition... Steel Body is not enough anymore.
Just as Lu Zixun opened the system and saw his accumulated feeling value, his mouth fell open in disbelief.
