Global Mutation: Become Unbeatable by Plundering the Gods

124: Challenges between traineesTo put it simply, the leaders of Divine Gene have abandoned all moral boundaries for their ultimate goal.

Indeed, anyone with a shred of conscience would never consider sacrificing all of humanity as experimental subjects.

Of course, Zhou Xing wouldn’t blindly believe Jiang Ming’s words; some things would naturally have to be verified personally when the opportunity arose in the future.

However, the pain his younger sister had suffered back then was indeed because of Divine Gene, and after joining The Watchers, he had learned many things about them.

At the very least, destroying Divine Gene was something Zhou Xing had always wanted to do.

“Then Commander, the situation for you and the other two Deputy Commanders seems relatively normal to me, whereas those two Peak Demigods from Divine Gene have always been in deep sleep.”

“Has our Watchers found a way to control or even suppress the Divine Will’s pollution?”

Zhou Xing followed up with his question.

“When the three of us left with some people back then, we took some technology and damaged data obtained from spatial rifts. The greatest achievement over these years has been the attribute-less divinity crystal.”

“Using this, we have saved many victims of divinity erosion.”

“Through later exploration, we also discovered that the higher the purity of this divinity crystal, the better the effect of suppressing or even purifying the pollution within the divinity fragment.”

“However, once one reaches the Late-Stage Demigod level, a massive amount of attribute-less divinity crystals is required for it to be effective, costing an astronomical amount of resources.”

“Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, we usually have to spend about half of every year in a deep sleep to suppress our divinity, to avoid accidentally making a Breakthrough to the Eternal Realm. That would be real trouble.”

“So, it’s not that you can’t make a Breakthrough? It’s just that without solving the Divine Will’s pollution, you’re forcibly suppressing your own strength to delay time as much as possible?”

“Naturally. Compared to Mutated Beasts, our human will is actually very fragile. No one wants to become a vessel for a god, and those two fellows from Divine Gene are the same.”

“But overall, their condition is worse than mine. Once they use their power too many times, they might no longer be able to suppress their own strength.”

Jiang Ming nodded, confirming Zhou Xing’s suspicion.

Zhou Xing also fell into silence.

He had a way to solve it, but the prerequisite was that Jiang Ming must earn his true trust.

“Alright, these aren’t things you should worry about right now; there won’t be any problems for a few years. Perhaps your appearance gave me hope, so I talked a bit much.”

Jiang Ming chatted with Zhou Xing for a while longer before leaving the villa.

Standing by the window and watching Jiang Ming’s departing figure, Zhou Xing frowned slightly.

The conversation just now contained a lot of information; he needed time to digest it and make his own judgment.

Over the next month, the Special Training Camp’s curriculum was packed.

Every instructor was diligent and responsible, benefiting many students greatly.

Yue Hua even personally organized a sparring competition between students. In the end, Zhou Xing revealed his Late Control Stage strength and secured first place, earning a reward of 1,000 Special Training Camp points, which made many students green with envy.

1,000 points was enough to exchange for many good things.

The basement level of the villa was a massive training ground.

During this time, Zhou Xing spent most of his time here familiarizing himself with his abilities and their coordination.

Based on the various techniques and energy control he had learned,

Zhou Xing could now unleash the greatest power with the minimum amount of force.

This was the result of one month in the Special Training Camp.

According to Zhou Xing’s estimation, his current self could easily defeat the version of himself that had just achieved a Breakthrough a month ago.

The System’s role was only to grant him various abilities, but it wouldn’t teach by example; everything was explored by Zhou Xing himself based on the extracted abilities.

In one month, Zhou Xing’s greatest progress was in the application of the God of Simulation’s power.

When necessary, it would be enough to give everyone a “surprise.”

Early the next morning, just as Zhou Xing and the others gathered, Xing Tian stood beside him and whispered, “Augustus and Chiba Shinichi have further achieved a Breakthrough to the Peak of Control. I just got the news.”

Zhou Xing’s expression tightened; if that was the case, things were likely to get lively.

Those two fellows were very bellicose; having lost to him in the previous practical sparring session, they would likely target him first after this Breakthrough.

However, he would cross that bridge when he came to it. Moreover, they would never imagine that Zhou Xing’s strength had reached the Peak of Control even earlier than theirs.

When it came to playing the pig to eat the tiger, Zhou Xing was quite experienced.

As soon as today’s classes ended, not long after Zhou Xing returned to his dormitory, there was a knock on the door.

He opened it to see Xing Tian with a solemn expression.

“Looking at your face, could it be those two fellows really caused trouble after their Breakthrough?”

Zhou Xing frowned and asked.

Xing Tian nodded and lowered his voice, “Augustus, that Little Baga Chiba Shinichi, and many others are over at the Challenge Room. Those two have already challenged many people and gathered quite a lot of points.”

“Right now, they are specifically calling out to challenge those of us from Xia Country. I know their real target is you.”

Meanwhile, inside the Special Training Camp’s dedicated Challenge Room, many students had already arrived.

At the very front of the Challenge Room, four silver capsules were lined up neatly.

Each capsule was connected to a complex neural conduction System, and a massive holographic projection screen floated in the center of the Challenge Room.

This was the “Illusionary Battlefield” virtual space System previously developed by The Watchers. Through a neural link to the head, a person’s consciousness could be projected into it, perfectly replicating 100% of their real combat power.

At this moment, Augustus had just finished a challenge with a student.

The words “Winner — Augustus” were displayed on the massive holographic screen.

His opponent was also a Genius who had reached the Late Control Stage; however, their battle lasted less than a minute before Augustus secured his victory, pocketing 300 points.

After reaching the Peak of Control, Augustus was extremely arrogant. To entice others to bet and challenge him, he even proposed that as long as an opponent could last three minutes against him, it would count as his loss.

Regardless of who it was, anyone challenging him needed to bet 300 points. If they lost, the points were his; if they won, Augustus would give them 300 points in return.

By now, six students had already challenged Augustus, and none could win.

On the other side, Chiba Shinichi was following suit. He was currently battling a student who was an Awakened One of the “God of Blades,” with Late Control Stage strength.

In the clash of blades, that Little Baga Chiba ultimately came out on top.

Of course, this was the private nickname Xing Tian and the others had for Chiba Shinichi.

When Dongying was destroyed by Mutated Beasts back then, countless people had cheered.
