1171: Chapter 1171: Dinsionality Reduction Strike
Xu Huo had no objections to the route chosen, saying wherever to go, they’d go.
This, on the contrary, made Song Xiaohua a bit uncertain.
He quickly said, “So we just start walking?
What if the road’s wrong?”
“You picked the route, so of course you’re responsible,” Xu Huo replied matter-of-factly.
Song Xiaohua sneaked a glance at him.
“You’re really going to hold
accountable afterward?
You’re not going to go back on the promise you made earlier, right?”
Xu Huo pretended to have no mory.
“What promise did I make to you?”
Song Xiaohua also pretended to lose all recollection.
“Didn’t you say that after I tead up with you to co onto the island, once we leave, you’ll sign a contract making
your agent?”
“I never said that.” Xu Huo quickened his pace and moved forward.
Song Xiaohua caught up, grinning.
“But wasn’t that obviously the implication given the context at the ti?
What’s wrong with becoming a celebrity?
Look at the folks Wang Xiaohui hired—barely any actual skills, and they’re all so cocky.”
“Still, they’re pretty impressive—all Rank-C Players,” Xu Huo remarked.
“Currently, the Special Defense Departnt in Zone 014 has the largest concentration of Rank-C players.
It’s actually harder for regular players to rank up to C than for those in the Special Defense Departnt.
You can’t say they’re not competent.”
Song Xiaohua waved his hand dismissively.
“I’ve seen them, and with the Special Defense Departnt added in, they’re nothing special, if you ask …”
Before he could finish the sentence, Xu Huo, walking ahead, suddenly stopped.
At this mont, the two had crossed through a section of Ruins Space, only to find themselves face-to-face with two hostile groups of players.
The two groups were less than twenty ters apart, and Xu Huo and Song Xiaohua had unknowingly walked right into the middle.
Song Xiaohua startled, exclaiming, “What’s going on?!”
“Didn’t you say you had good luck?” Xu Huo gestured with his chin toward the groups on either side.
“Walk out here and you’ve already managed to piss off everybody.
Your luck’s really sothing else.”
Song Xiaohua hurriedly backed away and addressed the surrounding groups, “Excuse us, everyone, we didn’t an to intrude.
Please, continue with what you’re doing.
We’re leaving!”
All the players from the Special Defense Departnt on the island today were Rank-C.
Though nurous, they didn’t have the manpower to set up traps everywhere.
Of those present, half had been with Director Lü in the safe zone days prior.
They recognized Xu Huo and understood why the Special Defense Departnt hadn’t directly confronted him.
They were also aware that several governnt officials involved in the mandatory evolution incident had been assassinated—information that ca from a video leaked from the safe house, which had spread despite restrictions imposed by senior officials.
Nearly every Rank-C player had watched the video.
Even though Xu Huo had concealed his appearance and altered his voice, observant individuals could identify him based on his gait and speaking patterns—his efforts to disguise himself seed half-hearted at best.
Thus, they understood that Xu Huo was unmistakably issuing a warning to the Special Defense Departnt.
From the players’ perspective, however, this wasn’t unreasonable.
It wasn’t rely a matter of identity or position.
Many who participated in capturing the experint subjects were also horrified by the information recorded.
The extent to which human depravity could cross boundaries was unimaginable.
As such, many players respected Xu Huo’s actions and admired him.
This explained why people like Guo Nan and Yi Huijun were so cooperative earlier.
And more importantly, Xu Huo genuinely had the ability to back it up.
This made Song Xiaohua’s comnts irrelevant to the Special Defense Departnt, especially since Xu Huo was standing right there in front of them.
The other group, however, was a different story.
One bald-headed man stepped forward, shouting, “Stop right there!”
He was addressing Xu Huo and Song Xiaohua.
“What’s the issue?” Xu Huo turned his gaze toward him.
“Got quite the attitude, huh?
You don’t even take the Special Defense Departnt seriously!” The bald man’s vicious eyes locked onto them.
“Two people daring to team up and co in here—you must be pretty capable!”
“Should I take that to an,” Xu Huo raised a hand, signaling the man to calm down, before continuing, “that you just had a head-on clash with the Special Defense Departnt’s elite squad, know perfectly well you can’t win, but don’t want to slink away in embarrassnt, so you’re targeting two bystanders to show off your strength?”
“Or are you just plain stupid?”
“Facing off with an eight-person team against a twelve-man Special Defense Departnt squad.”
“While the forr sounds a bit more deliberate, from my perspective, stupidity takes the lead here.
Otherwise, why would you pick a fight with a two-person team that dared to co in here unafraid?”
The bald man was montarily speechless, but his face quickly contorted with rage.
He charged forward toward Xu Huo, though not without so caution—he threw out a prop first before charging.
In this space where the fabric of order was chaotic, all it took was to place a few Spatial Barriers within the Cubic Space ahead.
Props and abilities had a hard ti functioning because most Rank-C items, and even Rank-B items, hadn’t reached the level where they could completely ignore obstacles or distance.
As such, using spatial barriers to nullify props and abilities here acted as a sort of dinsional suppression.
Since the opposing side lacked Space-oriented Super Evolution, they weren’t particularly sensitive to spatial alterations and could only rely on Defense Props to passively fend it off.
While Xu Huo’s Ray Blade wasn’t powerful enough to pierce through Defense Props, he had other tools.
The bald man’s Defense Prop was no match for a Rank-A Prop.
Thus, in the very mont he took his first step, his head had already separated from his body.
It was almost as though soone had blinked—one mont the bald man was alive, the next, he was dead.
And the one who had acted appeared to not have moved an inch, not even lifting a finger.
Even the mbers of the Special Defense Departnt squad across from them involuntarily twitched their eyelids.
This wasn’t just a matter of speed; they simply couldn’t perceive any of Xu Huo’s movents!
A few players with higher Evolution Rates or heightened perception abilities began discerning the disparity.
“This is Super Evolution,” remarked the team leader on the opposing side.
“And not just your average level of strength.”
Typically, regardless of the type of Super Evolution, for a long period it only allowed an Evolver to slightly surpass ordinary players.
Those lacking sufficient talent might not see significant progress for years.
For example, Psychic-oriented Super Evolution often left individuals stuck at the stage of externalizing spiritual power, unable to establish a proper Spiritual World, and requiring auxiliary props to advance.
Similarly, for Space-oriented Super Evolution, affecting or controlling objects via spatial manipulation was challenging; even achieving faster movent within spatial dinsions required substantial ti and effort.
As for physically focused Super Evolution, skills such as immunity to toxins or enhanced self-healing might initially only manifest as marginally better strength and speed compared to regular individuals.
Thus, within the sa Rank-C level, unless their rate of evolution was exceptionally fast, Super Evolvers were often part of the top-tier but still within reach of other skilled players.
However, when it ca to those who had achieved advanced evolution, fellow evolvers of the sa rank often couldn’t even rely on their evolved sensory abilities to detect the target’s movents or energy fluctuations.
Without the support of Advanced Items, even other Super Evolvers struggled to keep up!
This was the stark difference in power.
