The abyss has awakened, and the supernatural has descended. Qin Tan is caught in it. After an evil summoning, Qin Tan returns to the human world.
Having lost her memories of the abyss, she un...
"No need, the person in charge here is very familiar with the bureau chief, so they opened a back door for you."
"You will challenge him as a special challenger at that time."
Xia Shuang gestured to Qin Tan not to worry, but Qin Tan couldn't relax.
Did he agree?
Qin Tan looked at the other person's name.
Bai Yucheng is a name that perfectly matches his disguised demeanor.
"No."
Xia Shuang's words made Qin Tan raise an eyebrow.
"The director's idea is to fight first, then negotiate terms after they submit; if they still don't agree, then we'll take even tougher measures."
Fifth Dawn's style is swift and decisive.
He prefers direct hand-to-hand combat to appeasement.
Under his tutelage, Xia Shuang followed suit, and Qin Tan could only keep up.
As the two were talking, the first game of the day began. The two were strangers, and they didn't seem to be of high rank, so not many people were betting.
This is just to warm things up.
Both are extraordinary individuals who specialize in physical enhancement.
Although the fight scenes are not aesthetically pleasing, the brutal beauty of every punch landing and the occasional blood flying is enough to stir up the atmosphere.
The one who was thinner in the end won.
Amid cheers from the crowd, Jiang Yongwang took the stage.
He has been here for some time now and has made a name for himself.
Today he is playing a challenge match.
He can challenge any of the top ten star players in the dueling arena; as long as he defeats them, he can take their place.
Everyone eagerly awaited the opponent Jiang Yongwang would choose.
In those photos, Jiang Yongwang finally placed his finger above Bai Yucheng.
"Oh oh oh!"
Some spectators were shouting excitedly.
The bustling crowd engulfed Qin Tan, and through the crowd, Qin Tan noticed Jiang Yongwang's nervous gaze.
The other party is forcing themselves.
He will lose.
Amidst the cacophony of shouts, Qin Tan's voice was drowned out by the crowd.
She opened the screen and placed a bet against Bai Yucheng.
Xia Shuang, seeing this, made the same choice.
Who wouldn't want money that's free?
Like Qin Tan, most people trusted Bai Yucheng more, while others bet on Jiang Yongwang, an underdog.
Amidst great anticipation, Bai Yucheng slowly emerged from the passageway.
His appearance suggested a frail scholar, and he seemed quite vulnerable in front of Jiang Yongwang's imposing robotic arm.
After the referee announced the start, the two began to fight.
In addition to using the immense strength of the mechanical arm, Jiang Yongwang also uses his own bone blade ability to attack.
Judging from the spectacle alone, Jiang Yongwang's battles were more entertaining.
On the other hand, Bai Yucheng seems to only know how to dodge and has not retaliated yet. Qin Tan has not been able to figure out what his extraordinary ability is.
However, the opponent's evasion skills were exceptionally outstanding.
On several occasions when Qin Tan believed that Bai Yucheng had to confront them head-on, Bai Yucheng managed to avoid them.
That didn't seem like a fighting instinct; it was more like... premonition.
He could almost see Jiang Yongwang's next move; without even needing to retaliate, he could make Jiang Yongwang lose his composure.
"It wasn't a premonition."
Xia Shuang denied Qin Tan's speculation.
"However, this type leans towards the direction of prediction, but is a little lower than prediction."
"They call it the 'Eye of Insight,' and its rank is S."
"It is said that his eyes can see through all falsehoods."
"I don't know if it's true or false."
Information about Bai Yucheng's abilities is scarce; so far, only Bai Yucheng possesses this ability.
Once he sees through everything about the other party, he can take action in advance, which outsiders can easily mistake for precognition.
Qin Tan did not answer.
She was thinking about how to deal with this ability once she became Bai Yucheng's opponent.
The situation on the field was one-sided.
Jiang Yongwang's abilities are not bad either; he ranks in the upper-middle range in this black market.
If he were to unleash his full potential, he could potentially break into the top ten, provided that he doesn't challenge Bai Yucheng.
After Jiang Yongwang's attack was dodged once again, he raised his mechanical arm with a dark expression.
The surface was opened, revealing a gun barrel.
After pointing the gun at Bai Yucheng, he opened fire immediately.
The bullets spun at high speed, and the energy wrapped around them caused Qin Tan to feel contamination.
"This is the latest research from Apollo: the Contamination Bomb."
"Once this bullet hits an enemy, the abyssal energy inside will cause the superhuman's abilities to become agitated."
"One wrong move and you could be killed by the backlash of your abilities."
The existence of the contamination bomb reminded Qin Tan of those young masters in Wangcheng who had been injected with extraordinary blood.
As Qin Tan left, the one whose condition was least serious entered the hourglass to await death.
The principle behind contamination bombs is very similar to that of the situation at the time.
"These sources of contamination were extracted from the individuals whose experiments failed."
"This is what they call controllable and safe."
As a form of abyssal contamination energy, because it is extracted from the human body rather than obtained by facing the abyss directly, arrogant humans believe they can control this energy.
Initially, they manufactured these special bullets to deal with the supernatural.
Unfortunately, the abyssal contamination on the strange creature was far more potent than the bullets themselves; the bullets were merely a tickle.
Ultimately, they found that this weapon was more convenient for dealing with their own kind.
In fact, the extraordinary collapse caused by this type of bullet remains unresolved to this day.
"This is still a semi-finished product, not the kind that is sold to the public."
Due to public opinion and Li Mingshu's obstruction, these bullets were not sold as commodities, but insiders were able to obtain them through connections.
From these words, Qin Tan realized that Jiang Yongwang had used up all his last trump cards.
As the bullets whistled through the air, Jiang Yongwang's eyes became bloodshot.
He longed to see Bai Yucheng across from him, hoping that the other would fall into his hands.
But that won't work.
Bai Yucheng successfully dodged as always, and although each time looked extremely dangerous, he always remained unharmed, without even a scratch.
Some people noticed Jiang Yongwang's decline and began to boo, while others clamored for a refund.
Those taunts and ridicule were so grating.
Having revealed all his cards, Jiang Yongwang was driven into a corner.
There was a struggle in his eyes, as if he were making a serious decision.
Then, Qin Tan saw the other person take out a syringe and stick it into her arm.
As the liquid was injected, blood vessels appeared in the other person's eyes.
He opened his mouth, panting heavily, like a wild beast that had lost its mind.
The syringe fell to the ground and shattered, releasing specks of blood and contamination.
This thing seems to have the same origin as the extraordinary potion from before, but there are obvious differences.
Because Jiang Yongwang was already an extraordinary being, he had no need to use this extraordinary blood to awaken.
Even Xia Shuang sat up straight after seeing the injection.
"Ha, I didn't expect them to actually make it."
Xia Shuang's voice was cold, and a chill spread from her.
The shouting crowd nearby calmed down considerably.
Qin Tan, noticing Xia Shuang's predicament, pressed down on Xia Shuang's shoulder to remind her.
