Tycoon War God

”Instructor!” Monkey cried out anxiously, wanting to dissuade Lin Mu.

However, in the eyes of Zhu Tao and Professor Feng, this was just a sign of concern that Lin Mu would lose face if he were defeated. A surge of schadenfreude washed over them. It seems this Lin Mu is nothing but a bluffer after all.

Professor Feng was particularly confident. He had already heard about yesterday’s events. Lifting a yacht while walking on the waves? One person fighting the entire Divine Machine Camp? What outrageous lies! He doesn’t even bother to make them sound plausible.

He had been at the Divine Machine Camp for many years, focusing on researching high-end drugs to unlock human potential. Because of this, he knew better than anyone what a person was capable of. A yacht weighs more than a dozen tons, and he walked on water with it? Where’s the point of leverage? From the perspective of human limits and science, that’s impossible. Combining the two makes it even more improbable. As for one person defeating nearly a hundred members of the Divine Machine Camp, that’s utter nonsense.

Every single member of the Divine Machine Camp had been injected with a potion he developed. If he were to claim he was second in knowing their individual strengths, no one would dare claim first. Each member, in terms of physical function, potential, explosive power, speed, strength, and reaction time, was formidable. They were the newest model of super-soldiers.

One man against nearly a hundred? A fairy tale! The previous potion injected into the Divine Machine Camp could only unlock fifteen percent of a person’s potential. But the Celestial Star No. 2, which took him a long time to research, could stimulate twenty percent. Although it’s only a five-percent difference, the boost to one’s strength is a terrifying amount.

Therefore, Professor Feng had great confidence in Zhu Tao!

…

”Are you ready?”

Zhu Tao subconsciously wiped his mouth, swallowing the Blue Pill in a smooth motion. Instantly, he felt a wild power erupt from within him. This power was so immense it was frightening.

At first, Zhu Tao was apprehensive, feeling he couldn’t control such overwhelming strength. To his surprise, however, after the power circulated through him once, it lay dormant in his limbs and organs, continuously transforming and enhancing them.

Zhu Tao had become even stronger!

”ROAR!”

Thick, green veins bulged on Zhu Tao’s body, looking as if they were about to tear through his skin. His face flushed a deep crimson, as if gorged with blood. A powerful aura erupted from him, causing the onlookers’ expressions to change.

”How did this guy get so strong?” Monkey was stunned and a little surprised.

”Could it be...” Jiaolong’s expression changed. He exchanged a look with Monkey, and both saw a hint of shock and horror in each other’s eyes.

The Gene Potion!

This was the drug developed by Professor Feng. It was the reason their Divine Machine Camp was different from ordinary people.

Just now, when did Professor Feng give Zhu Tao the Gene Potion? Could it be a new version that doesn’t require injection? Monkey guessed boldly.

”Highly likely!” Jiaolong said.

Monkey voiced his concern, ”Then what about the instructor? He...”

”Don’t worry. We can’t even begin to fathom the instructor’s strength,” Jiaolong said, his tone complex. ”No one can defeat him.”

…

”Lin, today you die!” Zhu Tao’s eyes were blood-red, filled with intense killing intent.

My grandfather died a miserable death, my brother was murdered, and now, even my own chance to enter the Divine Machine Camp is gone—all because of this Lin Mu.

With the desire for revenge festering within him, Zhu Tao roared and charged toward Lin Mu.

BAM!

His foot stomped fiercely on the ground, blasting a small crater into it.

”Damn, he’s fast!” Monkey cursed, his face a mask of disbelief.

He knew Zhu Tao well. In the past, Zhu Tao’s strength couldn’t compare to his. The gap between them had only widened after Monkey joined the Divine Machine Camp. But at this moment, he felt that his opponent’s speed and strength seemed to surpass his own.

Jiaolong, standing nearby, also looked horrified. All the members of the Divine Machine Camp had gathered around. Seeing Zhu Tao burst forward with such incredible speed, many of their faces changed drastically.

Because their eyes couldn’t keep up with him. He was fast. Too fast!

However, only one person was shaking his head: Shi Potian.

Because in his eyes, Zhu Tao’s speed was far too slow. It was like watching a snail struggling to crawl forward. While others saw Zhu Tao’s terrifying speed, Shi Potian saw a completely different world.

In my eyes, the world is filled with countless threads. The more ordinary a person is, the more threads are attached to their body. These threads control their speed, their direction, even their actions and words. The members of the Divine Machine Camp have fewer threads, but not by much. Their limbs, in particular, are bound by threads that have condensed into chains, tightly controlling their every move. I have chains on my body too, even thicker and scarlet in color. However, I can break free from these chains for a short time to move swiftly and fight. This was a gift from Elder Brother Mu. The Divine Demon Transverse Refinement allows one to battle the heavens, slay gods and demons, and even fight against the Heavenly Dao! But Elder Brother Mu’s body is a complete blank. Countless chains try to approach him, but all of them fail. In my eyes, Elder Brother Mu is a terrifying existence who has already transcended the world’s shackles. As for that Zhu Tao... his chains are emitting a black aura. Based on what I’ve come to understand recently, that’s a sign he’s close to death.

…

Just as the crowd lost sight of Zhu Tao’s figure, they saw Lin Mu slowly raise his hand and pat gently to his right.

What is he doing?

This question popped into everyone’s mind. The next moment, they understood.

SMACK!

With a light sound, a figure was sent flying, soaring more than a dozen meters before crashing into the jagged reefs.

CRACK!

The chilling sound of breaking bones and a piercing scream echoed simultaneously. When the crowd saw who it was, their faces contorted in horror.

It was Zhu Tao!

But now, who knew how many of his bones were broken? His body was a bloody, mangled mess. He was a tragic sight.

”How... How could this be? Why did this happen?” Professor Feng was ghastly pale. He stared at the twitching form of Zhu Tao, his expression incredibly grim.

Then, something even more terrifying happened.

Zhu Tao, lying on the ground, suddenly stood up. His expression was savage and pained, as if he were suffering from some unspeakable torture.

”Pain! So much pain!” Zhu Tao screamed, clawing viciously at his own skin as if trying to dig something out from inside his body.

In moments, there wasn’t a single patch of intact skin left on him.

”An adverse reaction to the Gene Potion?!” Zhang Ze’s face fell, and he rushed toward Zhu Tao.

”If you want to die, go ahead and try,” an indifferent voice reached Zhang Ze’s ears, stopping him in his tracks.

And sure enough, the very next moment, Zhu Tao let out a final, ghastly shriek. His entire body exploded, splattering blood and gore everywhere. Not a single intact piece of him remained.

Seeing Zhu Tao’s gruesome end, Zhang Ze’s lips trembled. After a moment of shock, he grabbed Professor Feng by the collar and roared, ”Professor Feng, what in God’s name did you give him?!”

”No... it can’t be... How could this happen?”
