A capsule-shaped blue metal, as large as an egg, transformed rapidly in mid-air, almost like a transforming robot. By the time it landed on the ground, it had miraculously turned into a robot gunslinger clad in a blue metallic exoskeleton. A metal holster was slung around the robot’s waist, and atop its head sat a metallic cowboy hat.

Towering a head taller than an average person, the Supersonic Gunman’s face was a skull gleaming with a metallic luster, with red lights flashing within its eyes, looking eerie and frightening, yet possessing an indescribable sense of terrifying beauty.

“That is… the Supersonic Gunman…” Among the Mutators below, someone exclaimed with envy.

Such a rare Alloy Creature like the Supersonic Gunman is something most people have only seen in videos, and for most Mutators, this was their first encounter with the real thing.

“Isn’t using the Supersonic Gunman as a touchstone a bit too extravagant?” Ye spoke up.

He was certainly aware of how formidable the Supersonic Gunman was. If he encountered a Supersonic Gunman in the wild, he could utilize the terrain, equipment, and the power of his Base Mutation pets to deal with it, which wouldn’t be too difficult.

However, the arena was only so large at the moment, and without the use of equipment and pets, even Ye wasn’t sure he could handle the Supersonic Gunman under such circumstances, and there was even the possibility of getting injured by it.

If that were the case, his standing in for Lin Shen would be invalidated, and Qi Shuheng and Wang Tian’er would surely continue to press Lin Shen into action.

Although Lin Shen had just demonstrated a spectacular trick of disarming an opponent with his bare hands, Ye knew all too well that Lin Shen hadn’t even completed his Base Mutation, and he must not be allowed to face the Supersonic Gunman directly.

“I think it’s fine, we can’t let others laugh at our three families, right? It’s rare for Mr. Qi to be so generous as to offer such a rare Supersonic Gunman as a touchstone. I have no problem with it, what do you say, Mr. Lin Xiangdong?” Wang Tian’er and Qi Shuheng echoed one another, leaving seemingly no room for Lin Shen to refuse.

Ye wanted to speak up and help Lin Shen out, but Lin Shen said calmly, “I tend to be heavy-handed when I make a move. It would be a pity if such a rare creature were to be destroyed just like that.”

“It’s just an Alloy Level Supersonic Gunman, nothing significant. Since Mr. Lin Xiangdong has no objections, let’s settle it then,” said Qi Shuheng, closing the subject.

Ye sighed inwardly, “Although Lin Shen is clever, he hasn’t been through much and lacks experience in handling things, how can he compete with Qi Shuheng and Wang Tian’er? I can only give it my all and help Lin Shen get through this. But the Supersonic Gunman is so fast, there’s no chance in a direct confrontation. If it comes down to it, I’ll have to take a hit from the Supersonic Gunman, risk it all in the hopes of mutual destruction. As long as the Supersonic Gunman is taken down, we should be able to get past this. As for whether the Qi and Wang families will become more suspicious, I can’t worry about that now.”

“There’s only one Supersonic Gunman, and there are three of us. You’re not all ganging up and preparing this just for me, are you?” Lin Shen said coldly, staring at Qi Shuheng.

Qi Shuheng coughed awkwardly, “Mr. Lin Xiangdong, you worry too much. Naturally, we will take turns. Everyone must participate. How could it be tailored just for you? We wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to display our strength. If you’re so eager, we can let you take the stage first to show off.”

“Spare me from watching your shoddy tricks. You just want to see me in action, right? It doesn’t need to be that complicated. It’s very simple,” Lin Shen raised his right hand and extended a finger in front of Qi Shuheng.

“What do you mean by this, Mr. Lin?” Qi Shuheng didn’t understand what Lin Shen was getting at.

“One strike, just one strike, and I’ll be able to subdue him. If I do it, he’s mine,” Lin Shen’s extended finger pointed toward the Supersonic Gunman.

“Mr. Lin…” Ye was anxious inside. To him, Lin Shen was trying to push Qi Shuheng into backing down with this move, but such a naive thought was unlikely to work. Qi Shuheng would hardly back down at this point.

“`

Although the Supersonic Gunman was precious, for the Qi Family, the chance to verify Lin Shen’s true identity was well worth the exchange.

Lin Shen gestured a stop to him, not adding any words, only looking at Qi Shuheng with disdain.

“Since Mr. Lin Xiangdong is in such high spirits, I shall naturally oblige. Mr. Lin Xiangdong, feel free to make your move. If you can subdue the Supersonic Gunman in one strike, he will be yours. However, according to our earlier agreement, you must only use your innate Base Mutation strength, and not employ pets or other weaponry,” Qi Shuheng said, narrowing his eyes as he spoke slowly.

“It’s over!” Ye sighed deeply in his heart. With things having progressed to this stage, it was impossible for Lin Shen to let him substitute for the fight.

Ye’s thoughts raced as he pondered how to break the deadlock. However, to his surprise, Lin Shen agreed and stood up to step forward.

Ye was stunned for a moment, unsure of Lin Shen’s plan. That was an Alloy Level Supersonic Gunman, and Lin Shen was not even at Steel Level—what could he do by going down there? Not to mention that the Supersonic Gunman’s speed was something Lin Shen couldn’t keep up with, even if the Supersonic Gunman stood still and allowed Lin Shen to hit him at will, Lin Shen likely couldn’t even break his defenses.

Neither Qi Shuheng nor Wang Tian’er knew Lin Shen’s details like Ye did, but they also didn’t believe Lin Shen could subdue the Supersonic Gunman in a single strike.

They all recognized that Lin Xiangdong was powerful, but to say he could subdue the Supersonic Gunman in one hit was something they too found hard to believe.

They were willing to believe there was some possibility that Lin Xiangdong could kill the Supersonic Gunman in one hit, but subduing was more difficult than killing—it was the difference between slaying and capturing alive. Even if the person before them was indeed Lin Xiangdong, they did not think he could capture the Supersonic Gunman in one strike, denying him any chance to resist or struggle.

If that was truly possible, the Supersonic Gunman must be nearly dead anyway. In that case, taking him away wouldn’t be of much use to Lin Xiangdong.

“Lin Xiangdong is too arrogant,” Wang Tian’er said through gritted teeth. Now he somewhat believed that this person must be Lin Xiangdong. Apart from him, he couldn’t think of anyone else from Dark Bird Base who could be so audacious.

“Even if he is Lin Xiangdong, his chances of winning are slim,” Qi Shuheng snorted coldly.

As Ye watched Lin Shen step towards the Supersonic Gunman, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, yet he had no idea how to overcome the current predicament.

“I absolutely cannot let anything happen to Lin Shen. Even if it means revealing myself, I must protect him,” Ye had already decided, determined to fight to the end, no matter what. He couldn’t let Lin Shen get hurt under any circumstance.

“Mr. Lin Xiangdong, won’t you use your Base Mutation strength?” Qi Shuheng, seeing that Lin Shen was now less than two meters away from the Supersonic Gunman without any change to his body, could only frown and speak up.

“To subdue a mere Supersonic Gunman, why would I need to use Base Mutation strength?” Lin Shen glanced at the Supersonic Gunman and said proudly.

As soon as he spoke, not only did Qi Shuheng and Wang Tian’er think Lin Shen was too arrogant, but even Bai Shenfei and Wei Wufu looked at Lin Shen with a somewhat peculiar gaze.

The ordinary Mutators below whispered among themselves, feeling that this Lin Xiangdong was truly too arrogant.
