Chapter 37 - Instant Defeat

Chapter 37 Instant Defeat

“Sparring?” Zhou Yuan said, pretending to be surprised.

“This term is very ancient!”

“This is the first time I’ve encountered someone using this term in my life.”

“But, why?”

In response to Zhou Yuan’s question, Ma Haobo explained,

“You should be an Evolver like us.”

“It’s just that the direction of our evolution is different.”

“That’s why I want to spar with you,”

“If possible, I would like to invite you to join us.”

The last sentence couldn’t be more fake.

Ma Haobo and the rest had never thought of inviting Zhou Yuan to join them.

Their goal from the very beginning was to turn the humans in the base into zombies and harvest their crystalline cores.

Furthermore, they had already made up their minds to obtain the seeds of the crops and the water purification technique. In other words, they were now standing on the opposite side of Zhou Yuan.

It did not matter if Zhou Yuan was a wild Evolver or not.

Naturally, Zhou Yuan would not easily believe the nonsense of these people.

However, he was still very happy to spar.

After all, ever since he became stronger, his opponents were either ordinary humans or zombies.

He had never foughany other evolved human before.

Zhou Yuan really wanted to know how strong he was now, and he also wanted to fight to his heart’s content.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan agreed without hesitation.

“Sure, I also want to exercise a little.”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They did not say anything.

The group of people came to the open space outside the house.

Ma Haobo’s four arms had all ten fingers crossed, and they were stretched in reverse, making a crackling sound of bones colliding.

Zhou Yuan, on the other hand, stood there casually, like a spectator.

“Mr. Zhou, let me give you a reminder.”

“Our captain is very powerful!”

The woman with the snake tongue winked at Zhou Yuan as she reminded him.

Zhou Yuan smiled indifferently and did not say a word.

The fourth brother crossed his arms and revealed his saw-like teeth. He said with a smile.

“Mr. Zhou, you must be careful!”

“Don’t try to be brave!”

“It’s not embarrassing to admit defeat in time.”

“After all, if you were to be injured or even…die!”

“Your underlings won’t have anyone to rely on!”

The fourth brother’s words seemed to be a kind reminder.

In reality, it was full of mockery and disdain.

If Zhou Yuan did not know that this group of people had ill intentions, he would have really thought that they were concerned about him.

After Ma Haobo finished stretching his limbs, he said calmly, “These brothers of mine are very direct, I hope Mr. Zhou doesn’t mind!”

Zhou Yuan did not say anything and just waved his hand.

This made Ma Haobo feel insulted.

After all, most ability users would not allow mutants to get close to them.

Therefore, in sparring, the ability user would usually make the first move as they would need time to accumulate power and use their abilities.

If a mutant was to attack immediately, the ability user would usually end up in a miserable state.

Therefore, to Ma Haobo and the rest, Zhou Yuan’s action was more like an arrogant provocation.

Upon seeing this, the fourth brother immediately laughed and said,

“Captain, go easy on him!” “If we hurt Mr. Zhou, we won’t be able to leave this base.”

The snake-like woman charmingly twisted her body and said,

“It’s okay, I believe in Mr. Zhou’s strength!”

As she said that, she threw him a flirtatious look.

At this moment, Zhang He, who had heard the news and rushed over, saw the situation and immediately ordered his men to surround Ma Haobo’s group of six.

He had thought that the other party had finally revealed his true colors and was about to make a move on Zhou Yuan.

After Zhou Yuan’s explanation, Zhang He asked his men to leave.

However, everyone was still standing around, staring at the six mutants.

Zhang He had always believed that this group of people, who no longer looked like humans, definitely had an ulterior motive.

So he didn’t understand why Mr. Zhou was so indulgent with them.

Not only did they enter the base, but they were also allowed to tour the base without restraint.

Wasn’t this the equivalent of showing off a thick stack of cash on a street full of gangsters and robbers?

Mr. Zhou should understand the principle of not revealing one’s wealth. He would not make such a low-level mistake.

So, why?

Zhang He really couldn’t understand.

However, no matter what he thought, the sparring began.

“Be careful!”

Ma Haobo shouted coldly and rushed forward.

Buzzzzzz!

A cloud of dust rose from where he was standing. In the blink of an eye, Ma Haobo was in front of Zhou Yuan.

Two right fists were thrown out at the same time, one aimed at Zhou Yuan’s cheek and the other at his left rib.

If this attack had landed, even the fourth brother would have been defeated instantly.

Therefore, Ma Haobo was very confident. He thought that Zhou Yuan would either be killed in an instant or use his ability to block.

Who knew that right after he swung his fist, he felt a sense of emptiness.

The Zhou Yuan in front of him slowly dissipated!

An afterimage?

Just as this thought came to Ma Haobo’s mind, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His entire body was instantly smashed into the pile of dirt at the side.

BOOM!

A cloud of dust rose.

Ma Haobo almost couldn’t breathe.

He felt intense pain in his abdomen and cheeks.

This was… The scene from earlier flashed through Ma Haobo’s mind.

Just as he was about to hit Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan dodged with even greater speed and even gave him two punches.

One punch to the abdomen, one punch to the face!

Was that even possible?

Ma Haobo’s heart was filled with endless horror!

The guy he thought was an ability user had displayed a physical strength that was even stronger than him, a mutant.

His speed, strength, and reflexes were all crushed!

As the dust settled, Ma Haobo stood up with much difficulty and looked at Zhou Yuan, who was still standing at the same spot with a calm expression.

His heart was filled with shock.

Was this Zhou Yuan’s true strength?

Ability user his ass!

He was clearly an extremely powerful mutant!

However, if he was a mutant, why didn’t his body mutate or beastize?

Also, how does one explain the magical crops and the clear lake?

For a moment, Ma Haobo was at a loss!

On his side, were the five people who were originally full of confidence and were watching the sparring like a show.

At this moment, their eyes were bulging and they were dumbfounded.

What had happened?

Why did their captain fall with a face full of pain?

What had happened in that instant?

Those who were weaker than Ma Haobo did not see Zhou Yuan’s movements clearly.

Thus, they were all very confused.

Only the woman with the forked tongue could see it clearly.

Her eyes were wide open, but her pupils were narrowed into a thin line.

The scene replayed in her mind as she muttered,

“So fast! He’s so strong!”

“Just now, he defeated our captain…instantly!”

As soon as she said this, the others finally reacted.

Immediately, everyone’s face revealed a stupefied expression.

The fact that it was the complete opposite of what they had expected had brought them an even greater shock.

The captain was defeated in seconds?

Did this really happen?

Zhou Yuan looked at his fist and frowned.

He said with a voice filled with dissatisfaction.

“Why are you so weak?”
