Evolving infinitely from ground zero

"Instructor, may I step down now?"

On the Martial Stage, Lin Zichen looked toward Lu Tianrong below and asked.

He had shattered two B-grade alloy weapons in succession.

Such a powerful physical body was simply unmatched by the group of special training students below, and there was no need to continue sparring.

"Come down," Lu Tianrong said, "The Martial Stage here is too small for you, show your skills during the real combat special training in ten days."

Hearing that he could leave the stage, Lin Zichen lifted his leg and walked down.

"Wait a moment!"

A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Immediately afterward, a figure imbued with a metallic quality leaped from the crowd and landed on the Martial Stage with a "thump."

It was a female Mechanically Modified Human from the Mech God Corporation.

Named Zhu Shishi.

Her hair was very short, stopping just at her ears.

However, her strength was formidable, the strongest combatant among the five special training students of the Mech God Corporation.

"B-grade weapons can't even scratch you, dare you challenge the enhanced armor-piercing bullets?"

Zhu Shishi stood in front of Lin Zichen and spoke expressionlessly.

While speaking, her half-metallic face appeared lifeless, with only the cold luster of metal.

"Enhanced armor-piercing bullets?"

Lin Zichen had no concept of this kind of bullet.

Zhang Kai reminded him from below, "Zi Chen, don't accept this challenge, it's too dangerous. Within ten meters, enhanced armor-piercing bullets can easily penetrate a steel plate 10 centimeters thick; you can't block it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhong exclaimed in surprise, "Penetrate a steel plate 10 centimeters thick, can it really be that exaggerated?"

"My genetically fused Armored Earth Dragon's scales can grow up to 4 centimeters thick at most, and the hardness is only about the same as ordinary steel."

"By your words, if she shoots at me, wouldn't I be done for with one shot?"

Zhao Yuanzhong felt Zhang Kai must be exaggerating and didn't believe the enhanced armor-piercing bullets were so powerful.

Otherwise, wouldn't Mechanically Modified Humans be invincible among their peers at the ordinary level of strength?

Could that be possible?

Obviously not, right!

Zhang Kai chuckled, "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself on the stage later, see if the enhanced armor-piercing bullets can shoot through your body with one shot."

Zhao Yuanzhong didn't respond, silently looking at Zhu Shishi on the stage, lost in thought.

Mechanically Modified Humans were indeed strong in the early stages.

As long as technology kept up, increasing combat power was as simple as drinking water.

Unlike Genetic Integrators who had to spend a lot of time exercising their bodies, constantly strengthening their flesh.

"Don't try, the armor-piercing bullets that can penetrate a steel plate 10 centimeters thick are too dangerous, both of you come down," Lu Tianrong called out to the two on the stage.

Zhu Shishi disagreed, "Just avoid shooting at the vital parts, there won't be any danger."

Lu Tianrong frowned.

These special training students had too little discipline, often defying the instructor, which was really troublesome to handle.

Forget it, since they were not from the military district, let them do as they pleased; he had no desire to train them.

As long as he managed the five from the military district well, that was enough.

Thinking this, Lu Tianrong said, "Then both of you be careful, don't hit the vital areas."

"Don't worry, Instructor."

Zhu Shishi's voice was magnetically rich as she spoke.

Her vocal cords had been modified, giving her voice an electric current-like quality, especially suitable for singing electronic music.

"Where do you want to block the bullet?"

Zhu Shishi turned her head to look at Lin Zichen, asking in a cold voice.

Lin Zichen responded indifferently, "I didn't say I wanted to try."

"What, you don't dare?"

"Daring is one thing, but there's no need, unless there's some benefit to a successful challenge."

Lin Zichen said calmly.

His body had undergone Third-stage Body Refinement Completion, far surpassing the durability of a 10-centimeter-thick steel plate.

The mere enhanced armor-piercing bullets couldn't harm him in the least.

Unless there was some benefit to be had, there was no need to take the challenge.

"You don't need to succeed in the challenge," Zhu Shishi boldly said, "Just for accepting the challenge, I can deposit 1 million into your account right now."

1 million?

Upon hearing this figure, Lin Zichen's mind wavered slightly.

At that moment, he belatedly realized something.

The prodigies he had encountered from childhood all seemed to come from affluent backgrounds, casually able to offer a large sum of money to someone.

After giving it some thought, it seemed like only he and Shen Qinghan truly came from a common background.

It really confirmed the saying:

—The rich rely on technology; the poor rely on mutations.

Without giving it further thought.

Lin Zichen accepted the challenge that offered an easy 1 million, took out his phone, and said to Zhu Shishi, "Make the transfer."

Zhu Shishi didn't babble on. She pressed a few times directly on her palm, and quickly transferred 1 million yuan over.

Mechanically Modified Humans inherently had all the functions of a phone, so they didn't need one.

"Goodness, he's really taking up the challenge!"

"That's the enhanced armor-piercing bullet that can shoot through a steel plate 10 centimeters thick; this talent from Shan University is really bold."

"Feels like blood will be spilled."

"Hard to say, since he dares to take up the challenge, he must be confident."

"What confidence? That's a bullet that can even penetrate a steel plate 10 centimeters thick; how can an ordinary flesh and blood body block it?"

Seeing Lin Zichen actually chose to take the challenge, a wave of murmured discussions arose from below.

The two on the stage paid no heed to these sounds.

Among them, Zhu Shishi, who had completed the transfer, looked up at Lin Zichen before her and asked:

"Where do you want to be shot?"

"Shoot at the palm of my hand," Lin Zichen said, lifting his right hand with his palm facing Zhu Shishi.

Zhu Shishi didn't speak.

She immediately activated the energy chamber within her right arm, accumulating the propelling energy for the gun barrel that would fire the armor-piercing bullet.

Afterward, she raised her mechanical right arm, positioning the protruding barrel on Lin Zichen's palm, and asked coldly:
