Lu Yuan used his Spiritual Power to examine his own back.

In the state of the second-stage limit transformation, an inexplicable pattern had appeared there.

A giant, twisted "eye" constructed from muscle and blood vessels, full of demonic charm!

It looked very much like an eye.

The pupil of the eye resembled a lotus flower.

But all the petals of this lotus were tightly closed.

Lu Yuan exerted force; the muscles in his arm pulled at the muscles in his back. The crimson petals of the lotus seemed as though they were about to bloom, and the enormous eye on his back looked as if it were about to open.

"Awesome..." Lu Yuan muttered.

He couldn't help but stand up, scrutinizing his back from an observer's perspective.

His long hair cascaded like a waterfall. The unopened blood-red lotus eye, combined with the bright yellow glow of his Vigor, created a powerful visual impact.

If I added the special effect of the Circulation of Death Qi, it would be even more awesome.

Unfortunately, he was currently undergoing the Yellow Bear assessment and couldn't reveal his Death Qi.

Lu Yuan speculated that the formation of the blood-red lotus eye on his back was related to his enhanced strength and agility.

His physique, even after one Break the Limit, couldn't completely handle the terrifying instantaneous explosive force amplified by Ultimate Outburst.

This forced his body's muscles to undergo some kind of superior deformation and evolution.

Coordinated by his agility, it manifested in the form of the blood-red lotus eye.

How many times can my Ultimate Outburst amplify now? Ten times? Or twenty times?

Ten times would be a thirty-ton Fist Strength outburst, and twenty times would be sixty tons!

Lu Yuan wasn't sure. The specific value could probably only be determined by finding a suitable punching target to test it on.

The two-hundred-times gravity field is completely unusable now, unless I can find the remote...

Lu Yuan looked at the gravity field before him, now completely enveloped by two-hundred-times gravity, a slightly regretful expression on his face.

Only now did he remember to check the task watch on his hand.

The task watch had been beeping incessantly for a while now.

As if something major was happening.

[Task Level: A]

[Task Target: Survive]

[Task Reward: Unknown]

[Task Details—An A+ rank Bearman and an A+ rank Moly Demon have escaped. Survive their pursuit... fight for your life!]

Survive?

Lu Yuan paused at this task for a moment then quickly opened the task map.

Originally, there were three black areas on the task map representing S-Class tasks.

The Swimming Dragon task he had completed had already disappeared.

Now, the remaining two had shifted, seemed to overlap, and were moving rapidly across the map.

DING—

Just then, Lu Yuan discovered another task notification on his watch.

[Task Level: SS (Unique)]

[Task Target: Kill or assist in capturing the Bearman and Moly Demon.]

[Task Reward: 500,000 (Base)]

[Task Details—Attempt to intercept or kill the escaping A+ rank Bearman and A+ rank Moly Demon.

Bearman data:.....

Moly Demon data:.....

...

The chance to forge a legend is before you. Go for it, young man, I have high hopes for you!]

Er... Lu Yuan paused at the last line of the task information. An SS-Class task with a base reward of five hundred thousand points... Is this a hidden mission tailored specifically for me?

Lu Yuan thoughtfully glanced towards a spot where an invisible surveillance camera was likely installed.

After a moment, he suddenly tugged at the corner of his mouth and, looking amused, began to stride out.

Forge a legend? Isn't that a bit cliché and adolescent? Are those lines from some ancient, hot-blooded anime?

But... I actually quite like this kind of thing...

BOOM!

A silver-white figure, like an armored tank, violently smashed through a high wall and burst out of a bustling shopping mall.

A small, tile-blue car, speeding past, slammed into him, unable to brake in time.

BOOM!

The silver-white figure didn't move an inch. With a turn of its head, it lifted the small car—its front end completely mangled—and violently hurled it away.

The spinning car smashed into several combat mechanoids, each over two meters tall, in the distance before tumbling and exploding into a fireball.

Energy beams and bullets flew everywhere.

Explosions thundered one after another, an incessant roar.

People screamed and fled in all directions, resembling a chaotic terrorist attack.

CRACK!

The Moly Demon casually snapped off a lamppost, sending a shower of sparks flying. He wielded it like a weapon, sweeping it horizontally and effortlessly demolishing one combat mechanoid after another.

"Where's that S-Class new blood you were talking about? Which one is it?!"

The Moly Demon's eyes blazed with intense ferocity. While fighting, he spared a moment to address the Bearman cowering under his armpit.

The Bearman's voice, faint as a mosquito's buzz, reached his ears.

"Don't be impatient. Catch a few new bloods first. These new bloods carry communication devices. As long as you catch one, you can force out the S-Class new blood's specific whereabouts..."

"You better not be lying to me."

"We're in the same boat now. If you can't escape, I won't have a chance to get out either. Why would I lie to you? Neither of us wants to be captured again, right..."

"Hmph!"

The Moly Demon snorted coldly, his smooth face suddenly contorting with savagery.

He violently threw the lamppost in his hand, simultaneously kicking away two stone bollards in front of him, forcing open a path through the combat mechanoids that swarmed him like locusts, fearless of death.

Then, fixing his gaze on a certain direction, he strode forward.

「 」

HUFF, HUFF—

Ye Wuqiang panted heavily, pulling himself back behind cover.

His exoskeleton was fully activated, resembling a partial suit of pure black mechanized armor that completely encased his neck, cheeks, a small part of his back, and both arms.

Yet, it still failed to provide him with much sense of security.

Ye Wuqiang said with some disbelief, "The Fist Strength is estimated to be at least forty tons, with several bursts even reaching close to fifty tons... It's a full ten times the burst of my exoskeleton! This A+ rank combat power is simply too terrifying."

The other three squad members were also there.

The usually arrogant blue-haired youth now looked pale, while the punk girl, Xu Chengying, held a pistol in one hand and continuously tapped at her task watch with the other.

Only the ever-composed Xiang Shenghao appeared calm, but his tightly clenched fists, veins bulging, betrayed his current emotions.

Following the Pure Martial path, relying entirely on his own strength without any external aids, he was actually the one who felt most helpless.

The blue-haired youth suddenly cursed, "Damn it!" He then added angrily, "How did we get so unlucky? We were about to complete the mission, and then an A+ rank big boss shows up. Who can beat this kind of monster? How could the officials put something like this in the assessment? Why hasn't anyone come to deal with it yet! Are the people at Yellow Bear all... Hmph..."

Remembering that his every word and action during the assessment would be monitored and recorded, the blue-haired youth could only grit his teeth and swallow the last of his complaint.

Ye Wuqiang said quietly, pointing in a certain direction, "It seems we're not the only unfortunate ones. Haven't you noticed Teng Xiangqing is here too?"

The others were stunned and instinctively looked in that direction.

Their current hiding spot was behind a large, dark green dumpster.

And on the second floor of a building diagonally to their left, through a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, they could see several people craning their necks, observing the battle below.

One of them, a handsome, bald young man with tightly pursed lips, was none other than Teng Xiangqing, who had been thoroughly exposed in the all-participant group chat channel.

The sharp-eyed blue-haired youth, He Jun, quickly spotted several new blood teams around the edge of the battlefield. "Eh, it really is... but they must be here specifically to watch the A+ rank Moly Demon, right?"

Many strong new blood teams, after seeing the new task announcement, hadn't moved away but had instead deliberately approached the black areas on the map.

They were likely all hoping for a chance to intervene and snag some assistance points.

However, the Moly Demon's power was terrifying; ordinary B-rank and even A-rank combat mechanoids were like toys before it, torn apart in just a few moves.

Nothing could confront it head-on, and Teng Xiangqing's group didn't dare act rashly either.

Xiang Shenghao asked, "So what should we do now? Stay or leave?"

Just as Ye Wuqiang, who had successfully assumed the role of temporary squad leader, was about to speak, "I think..." the intelligent auxiliary system on his exoskeleton transmitted an extremely strong warning signal.

He quickly stuck his head out to check.

The next second, his face filled with horror as he cried out in a low voice, "The Moly Demon is coming for us! Run!!!"

Heavy footsteps followed, THUD! THUD! A massive shadow loomed over them like a dark cloud.

The expressions of the other squad members changed instantly. Without a moment's hesitation, they desperately fled into the distance.

After fleeing some distance, they instinctively looked back. It was only then, as if realizing something, that their faces turned deathly pale.

"Damn it!" one of them cursed. "Xu Chengying... why isn't she running!!!"

BANG—

The huge, dark green dumpster was casually kicked aside by a massive foot.

The punk girl hiding behind the dumpster, preoccupied with her watch, finally reacted.

She looked up, her pupils contracting violently, her face instantly paling.

But her reaction was quick enough.

She instinctively raised her pistol and fired.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The seemingly ordinary black pistol emitted dull thuds like a heavy sniper rifle firing.

However, every bullet, packed with powerful impact force, struck the Moly Demon only to vanish like a clay ox dropped into the sea, failing to stir even the slightest ripple.

Xu Chengying decisively retreated, her movements as agile as a swallow's, clearly a result of genetic enhancement.

The Moly Demon, however, merely gave her a cold glance before casually raising an arm.

With a sharp CRACK! the Moly Demon's incredibly thick arm seemed to extend indefinitely, abruptly elongating.

It then seized Xu Chengying by the ankle and violently dragged her back.

Not good... Witnessing this, the hearts of Ye Wuqiang and the other two watching from a distance sank, their expressions turning exceedingly grim.

They had the urge to rush forward and rescue her.

But one look at the Moly Demon's massive form, and the tiny spark of courage that had flared within them instantly vanished without a trace.

The expressions of the various new bloods watching from the edge of the battlefield also grew complicated.

Caught by the terrifying A+ rank Moly Demon, Xu Chengying's fate...

At this moment, Xu Chengying was dangled by one foot by the Moly Demon, like a chick held upside down.

With blood rushing to her head from being inverted, her small face was flushed bright red.

She gripped the black pistol with both hands, repeatedly pulling the trigger at the Moly Demon, but the bullets were already spent. She looked as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

She watched as the Moly Demon's chainsaw-like maw, now terrifyingly close, began to open.

It lifted her higher, as if intending to devour her whole in the very next second.

Xu Chengying finally couldn't stop herself from trembling all over, her pretty face etched with profound fear and despair.

The spectating new bloods felt a pang of sympathy, a sense of shared sorrow, but more than that, a deep helplessness.

However, at that very moment...

Suddenly, a sharp, violent sound of something tearing through the air erupted.

A figure shot in like an arrow, viciously slamming into the Moly Demon.

BOOM!

The Moly Demon's massive body was sent flying backward like a cannonball. It retreated, THUD, THUD, THUD, crushing countless cement slabs underfoot before it barely managed to stop.

Uh... This abrupt, dramatic change left all the onlookers stunned.

When they looked again, they saw a tall, slender, and upright young figure standing where the Moly Demon had been.

His long, waist-length black hair, like satin, danced behind him.

He slowly turned around.

Revealing a fair, handsome, and masculine face.

His gaze swept across the surroundings.

Then, he tugged at the corner of his mouth, a slight smile playing on his lips, and murmured softly, in words perhaps only he could understand.

"Legend..."

"Has arrived!"
