"No problem."
Before Nie Chenglong and Shen Yupeng could say anything, Meng Chao agreed to it.
It was just three minutes, so he could not be considered to be making things difficult for them.
Carrying out a capture mission in the lair was not child's play. If he was not strong enough to join the grand capture squad, what right did he have to cause trouble for them?
The veteran hunters who were training in the 3D maze all heard Meng Chao's confident voice.
They sized up Meng Chao curiously and were puzzled by his youthful face and his murderous aura, which made it seem like he had been fighting in the wild for years and was practically the same as them.
The superhuman circle in Dragon City was only so big. The youngest Heaven Realm superhuman in the past ten years had a certain degree of fame.
Many of them had already worked with Meng Chao through Ning Shewo, Yan Organization, or Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu.
There were also some people who worked under Sky Pillar Corporation and had heard of Meng Chao through Lu Siya's introduction.
Everyone surrounded him curiously and enthusiastically. They wanted to see just what sort of skills this boy who had not even graduated from university had that made him dare to enter such a dangerous place with them.
"Senior Zhou, seniors, please provide me with your guidance!"
Meng Chao did not waste his breath. He took off his jacket, which might get caught in steel pipes and wind chimes. He only had the nano fighting suit, which was custom-made for him with the top-notch technology gathered by Agricultural University's biochemical course.
The pure black nano fighting suit was as thin as a cicada's wings and had astonishing ductility, but it looked as heavy as armor.
It could distribute the enemy's attacks evenly throughout the entire fighting suit, and it could also accumulate spirit energy to help the wearer execute powerful energy-gathering skills.
This fighting suit was known as Black Soul, and when it was paired with his muscles that looked like explosives, it instantly turned his presence from that of a harmless person to that of a fierce and evil person!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Meng Chao casually exercised his wrists and ankles. Then, he casually threw a few punches and kicks to complete his warm-up.
The expressions of the veteran hunters changed.
They were all knowledgeable people, so they could naturally tell that Meng Chao had not just thrown a few punches and kicks. Instead, he had delivered nearly one hundred lightning-fast punches and dozens of dazzling kicks in an instant.
However, his punches and kicks were too fast, and their trajectories were so precise that they overlapped with each other. At first glance, it only looked like three punches and two kicks.
"Interesting."
The eyes of several veteran hunters lit up, and their faces were filled with eagerness.
Meng Chao's gaze swept past their faces, and he did not hold back his fierce glare.
Even if a senior hunter stared at him, he would still stare back fearlessly.
The moment he took off his coat, there was no longer any senior in his eyes.
Only an opponent that he was eager to challenge.
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and climbed into the 3D maze. He found a tunnel that was not blocked by glass or mirrors and crawled in.
First, he lightly stepped on the steel pipe to test its strength and the firmness of the binding. Then, he carefully drilled into the depths of the steel pipe.
"Youngsters nowadays are getting more and more incredible."
Nie Chenglong clicked his tongue and looked at the veteran hunters with a smile.
"Allow me!"
Without waiting for Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong to speak, a burly man with a buzz cut pushed through the crowd and strode forward.
His body shape was very unique. It was a standard inverted triangle.
It was not because his waist was too thin, but because his arms were too thick.
His arms were even thicker than Meng Chao's thighs. They shone with a metallic shine and were covered in pulsating blood vessels. Spirit flames gushed out of each of his pores.
But his arms were incredibly long, and his fingertips reached his knees. When he walked, he looked like a domineering gorilla.
The gorilla's roar was like thunder, and Meng Chao noticed him at first glance.
Multi-armed Bear Hong Li!
Information about this veteran hunter flashed in Meng Chao's mind.
He knew that this person was definitely not as simple-minded as he appeared to be.
Those who could reach Heaven Realm and survive hundreds of battles in the wild were definitely not easy to deal with.
Hong Li might seem to be walking down the path of strength, but in truth, he used spirit energy to make his arms so soft that they looked as if they were boneless. When his spirit energy magnetic field surged, the area within a circular area of five meters would be filled with his fists and palm prints. It was as if he had eighteen arms.
This was how he got his nickname of Multi-armed Bear.
Just as Meng Chao expected, Hong Li's body was huge and clumsy. It was not suitable for him to move around in the 3D maze.
At the moment he crawled in, his bones and muscles seemed to have shrunk into a ball of flesh. He avoided the steel pipes, wind chimes, and water balls and charged at Meng Chao.
When Meng Chao crawled into the 3D maze, he released his vitality magnetic field to sense and scan his surroundings.
He noticed that while the space in the 3D maze was not small, many of the places were blocked by glass, mirrors, wind chimes, and water balls. There were not a lot of escape paths he could choose.
Even though there were more than ten meters between them, both of them had to use all their brain cells to quickly calculate each path and predict each other's movements so that they could stay away from each other or get closer to each other.
The silent contest became more intense from the first second.
Large beads of sweat broke out on both sides' foreheads, but they soon evaporated because of their burning skin.
Every step they took, every time they craned their necks, and even every gaze they cast at each other was a contest of strength, and it contained a fatal illusion.
"It's been half a minute?"
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong cast a glance at his watch, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
Half a minute passed. Meng Chao and Multi-armed Bear Hong Li moved around the 3D maze. The distance between them never shortened, and Meng Chao did not touch a single mirror or wind chime either.
When the veteran hunters saw that he was becoming more at ease, they became even more interested.
"That stupid bear can't do it. He can't even get rid of this boy after half a minute. He should've gone on a diet a long time ago!"
"I have to say, this boy does have some tricks up his sleeves. His senses are so high that they're scary. Could he have reached the level of body hair?"
"When we first climbed up, we were in a flurry. Forget shattering the glass, he didn't even manage to make a single wind chime ring. Did he really just reach Heaven Realm?"
The veteran hunters discussed among themselves. Everyone was shocked by Meng Chao's performance.
Hence, based on some sort of law of the conservation of luck, Meng Chao missed a step and fell down.
'Oh no!'
Meng Chao originally thought that the steel pipes supporting the 3D maze were only tied loosely and would wobble when he climbed up.
He did not expect that the person who built it would be very sinister and leave quite a number of steel pipes hanging in the air. They were not tied tightly at all.
Meng Chao stepped into the "trap" and instantly lost his balance.
When he activated maglev and regained control of his body, Multi-armed Bear Hong Li had already pounced on him. Dozens of punches and palm prints came raining down on him and surrounded him.
Meng Chao bit the tip of his tongue and hunched his neck. He curled up his toes and grabbed another steel pipe like an eagle's claws. He leaned back and did a 180-degree turn. Then, the muscle fibers in his feet jumped, and with the help of the steel pipe's elasticity, he shot into the distance.
Multi-armed Bear Hong Li snorted coldly and fell down like a weight. He landed on the steel pipe Meng Chao had just stepped on. He also wanted to use the rebound to catch up to Meng Chao even though he had moved later.
But to his surprise, when Meng Chao shook the steel pipe, he gathered his spirit energy and sent a hidden force through his feet to the place where the steel pipes were tied to destroy the rigidity of the steel pipes.
With Hong Li's built body, which weighed nearly one hundred and fifty kilograms, the two intersecting steel pipes immediately crumbled, causing Hong Li to miss a step and continue falling, just like Meng Chao had done a moment ago.
Even then, Hong Li's expression did not change. He swung his arm like a whip, and like a gibbon, he used just one of his pinkies to hang himself on a relatively sturdy steel pipe.
But at that moment, Meng Chao spat out the blood he had held in his mouth after biting his tongue. He threw it at Hong Li's face.
Hong Li's expression finally changed.
He was stunned and panicked for a moment.
He avoided Meng Chao's tongue with great difficulty and nearly stepped on a swaying wind chime. By the time he regained his footing, Meng Chao had already rolled and crawled to the other side of the 3D maze with incredible agility.
Both sides returned to their original positions.
He had wasted a minute for nothing.
A few veteran hunters who were close to Hong Li laughed out loud, not giving him any face at all.
"This boy isn't bad."
"He's not just 'not bad'. When we were his age, we weren't even this capable. It's no wonder why he managed to become the club leader of the Broken Star Club with two hundred thousand members when he's just in his early twenties!"
"Look at his choice of offensive and defensive strategies, and how he creates and seizes the chance to dodge. Those aren't things you can learn from ivory towers. Only people who have truly struggled for years in the foggy wild or even in mountains of corpses can develop this sort of instinct that allows them to dance on the God of Death's scythe. How strange. Is he really a university student? Why do I feel like he's even more experienced than us?"
"Old Yu, the people who joined this operation are all on our side. I wouldn't trust a few newbies, but if it's this boy, I can accept him."
When Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong heard this, he instinctively nodded.
The situation was already very clear. Meng Chao had just crawled into the 3D maze and was not used to it yet, so Multi-armed Bear Hong Li had not been able to catch him.
In the next two minutes, he would become even more at home, and it would be impossible for Hong Li to catch him.
Zhou Chong cleared his throat and was about to ask them to stop practicing their offense and defense.
But Nie Chenglong raised his hand and stopped him.
"It's only been a minute."
The vice director of the abnormal beast research department smiled and said, "Old Yu, you didn't set a limit on how many people we can send. Let's have two more people play with him."
Zhou Chong was stunned for a moment. "He's on your side."
"It's precisely because he's on my side that I have to be responsible for his life. At the same time, I have to be responsible for the lives of millions of innocent citizens in Golden Tooth Lair."
Nie Chenglong's expression became stern, and he said methodically, "It doesn't matter whether the enemy is a cunning abnormal beast or a fierce robber, they won't talk about rules with you. I have to let him know where his limits are in a one-on-one fight!"
