‘Professor’
Li Aozi taunted, his figure ghostly, making the ibal uo catch him.
He ged direid-air, nded smoothly in a slide, dodged the ibal's cw strike, picked up the from the ground, and swung it again. The , tightened by gravity, sliced into the gap in the ibal's shoulder armor.
This recisely where Nimotin had broken through earlier.
Ssh—
The ibal's right arm was ly severed, blood gushing out like a fountain. He calmly stretched out his hand, and the severed arm reattached itself, flesh rapidly regeing, sprouting tless tendrils and mucus, rejoining with the smooth cut surface.
Li Aozi's Are energy was depleted; he immediately rolled to the ground, creating distand hiding.
【Spiritual Drive】
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Agent Yavanna arrived just in time, holding dual pistols. Her expression was incredibly focused as she pulled the triggers, bullets precisely hitting the ibal's severed arm.
Military-grade bullets, which would normally be deflected by armor, now showed their true painst pure flesh.
Blood spttered, flesh shattered, and the ibal's tone remained light:
"I see... did you pn this all along?"
Before he finished speaking, Nimotin suddenly surged up, stabbing her curved bde into the stump of his severed arm from behind.
Swoosh!
Finally... Nimotin bit her lip, p energy into the bde, driving it into the ibal's shoulder flesh. However, it couldn't pee any further.
This wasn't flesh—it was like reinforced crete.
Without hesitation, she directed two opposing energy flows into the wound.
Energy burst!
Boom!
Blood sprayed as the ibal staggered back a few steps. Nimotin, blown away by the explosion, had her left thigh sliced by the ibal, her prostheties torn and ripped out. She nded, a crippled mess.
"—Yavanna? Li Aozi?"
Nimotin's mind couldn't keep up, no time to think how these teared together. She simply shouted:
"Don't let him move! Kill him now!"
"Yes!" Agent Yavanna obeyed, but her pistols could hardly harm the ibal. She g Li Aozi.
"Li Aozi first—what are you waiting for?"
"Don't rush."
Li Aozi opened his panel. Nimotin's energy burst had taken a quarter of the ibal's health.
bining the damage dealt by him and Yavanna, they'd inflicted 50% damage on the ibal.
Though the ibal's health was rapidly rec, as a biochemist, he couldn't fully regee those mimetic health points.
It was time to settle the mission.
【Emerge—'ibal'】

If he were a pyer, he could leave now.
100,000 experience points, plus the experience from killing White Tooth gang members, would level him to 13. After settling the side quest, he'd reach level 15.
But Li Aozi didn't want to give up the specialty and high-level rare mutation reward. More importantly, he didn't want to let the ibal escape.
Li Aozi ied the 100,000 experience points into 【Basibat】 and 【Agent Gunfighting】, needing these skills to stabilize and enhance his movements.
【Basibat】—lv.MAX
【Agent Gunfighting】—lv.MAX
His as, hohrough tless trials, were etched into his muscles and nerves. Li Aozi rolled his neck, with 60,000 experience points left, and leveled up once more.
This minimized the gap as much as possible.
He g the side quest "Clear Love and Hate" progress:

Apart from the vehicle kill reward, all other challenge rewards were now ated for.
Due to the sequential settlement meism, with the previous 5 free attribute points, Li Aozi's specialty 【Perpetual Love Hunt】 triggered eight times, gaining a total of 16 points!
Thus, his 【Charisma】 surged from 23 to 39 points, plus 3 points from jewelry, totaling 42 points.
Perpetual effect activated again—if the main attribute is 【Charisma】, main attribute gain +30%.
Actual 【Charisma】 attribute gain: 54.6 points.
Li Aozi took a deep breath, and in the moment, his eyes were covered in red and bck.
Sigh...
Surrounding yellow sand and frost snow whirled around him, f a tornado-like barrier.
The attribute surge made his 【Gravity】 Are abilities nearly lose trol, but he quickly regained mastery.
His face remained handsome, with sculpted features. His red-bck eyes exuded a mysterious aura, his brows emanating an irresistible charm, even making the ibal find it hard to dislike him.
No, not just that.
As he stretched, even without using Are abilities, gravity felt gentle and light.
The outer territory's air no loung with cold, exging warmth with his lungs effortlessly.
Snowfkes on his ski like a soft quilt.
Even the surrounding sand and stones seemed unwilling to harm him, relutly avoiding him.
The entire world seemed to shower him with affe.
Drip...
Blood seeped from his eye sockets.
【Notice: Your main attribute 'Charisma' has transded】
【You have acquired the specialty—Transdent Physique】
"Agent Yavanna, you leave now."
With gravitational force, he flung the distrag Yavanna away.
Li Aozi gripped the , blood flowing from his red-bck eyes. He grinned arrogantly and wildly:
"This fight is beyond mortals!"
Boom—
Gravity reversed, and his body exploded with speed, the stretg into a spear, pierg the ibal's body.
"Ugh..."
Li Aozi nded, pinning the ibal underfoot. The ibal tilted his head slightly, seemingly unfazed.
"You seem to have made progress again."
However, Li Aozi's words made the ibal's four eyes widen:
"Kneel before me—Professor Abyss!"
Li Aozi leaped, arms spread, an invisible gravity field enveloping the space below.
Gravitational Crush—forty times!
