Free Web NovelChapter 324: Chapter 269: Humanoid Nuclear Weapon
...
Huashan Ancient Sect.
Gao Neng looked at Fang Tangtang, who had struck a pose in front of him, and a series of question marks instantly popped up in his mind.
’This isn’t how the script was supposed to go!’
According to his agreement with Fang Tangtang, this battle was supposed to enter its final stages right after she showed off the No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon.
But Fang Tangtang had suddenly ad-libbed.
And not only had she added lines, but she also put on an expression that screamed, ’I’ve totally got you beat.’ This was a bit much for Gao Neng to stomach.
’What the hell?’
’How could a pipsqueak like Fang Tangtang possibly pose a threat to me?’
’What was it that Fang Tangtang said to Shen Ning’Er just now?’
’That I absolutely had to block it?’
’And something about only using one-thousandth of her what...?’
’Hmm...’
’The acting is fake, all right.’
’It’s just so fake it’s unnatural. It doesn’t flow at all.’
’One star!’
"Gao Neng, I, Death God Fang Tangtang, am coming for you! Are you ready for my final strike, my ultimate secret weapon?!" Fang Tangtang shouted after striking her pose.
"Always ready!" Gao Neng’s expression turned serious.
But in reality, he was prepared, his ass. They were half an arena apart, and Fang Tangtang had even tossed aside her No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon. What was she going to hurt him with?
’One Slash can take down a sixth-tier.’
’That’s no exaggeration!’
’That’s real skill.’
’What does Fang Tangtang have?’
’An ultimate secret weapon?’
’Heh heh!’
Gao Neng was laughing hysterically inside, but he still had to keep up appearances. He was a serious, talented actor, after all. So, he quickly put one hand up to guard his face and the other to guard his crotch, looking as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
But the surrounding reporters weren’t captivated by Gao Neng’s performance.
In fact, more than half of them still had their cameras trained on Shen Ning’Er, and a whole crowd was gathered around her, peppering her with questions.
It was a little awkward.
But it wasn’t a big deal.
Once he and Fang Tangtang reached the climax of their battle, those reporters would come flocking back.
Gao Neng firmly believed this.
"Excellent! Gao Neng, you truly are a worthy opponent for me, Death God Fang Tangtang! Now watch closely! I, Death God Fang Tangtang, am about to unleash my ultimate secret weapon!" Fang Tangtang’s voice rang out again.
"Bring it on!" Gao Neng roared, but his gaze shifted to Shen Ning’Er below the arena.
He could see that Shen Ning’Er’s expression was a little tense. Furthermore, she was clutching a high-dimensional capsule in her palm, looking ready to act at any moment.
’Huh?’
’What’s Shen Ning’Er so tense about?’
Just as he was wondering, Fang Tangtang’s voice reached him again.
"Behold my humanoid weapon: Neutron Bomb!"
And along with her voice came an immensely powerful aura, compressed to its absolute limit. It felt as if something was rushing straight toward him.
It was an incredibly dangerous feeling.
Like having one foot in the grave.
Gao Neng was inexplicably startled.
"What kind of bomb?!" He hadn’t heard clearly, but when his gaze snapped back, he saw a "bomb-like" mass materializing out of thin air at his feet.
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted.
Gao Neng didn’t even have time to escape. He only had a split second for a single reaction: to use his Life Form Transformation: Iron, increasing his body’s Defense Power by one hundred percent.
But even so, he felt as if his entire body, including his high-tier bones, was about to shatter.
His hair stood on end.
His expression was completely dumbstruck.
He instinctively tried to control the Electromagnetic Storm to form an Electromagnetic Protective Shield for extra defense, but he found that the Electromagnetic Storm was neutralized.
It was as if he had lost his connection to it.
In that moment, not only could he not control the Electromagnetic Storm, he couldn’t even sense any other Elemental Energy. An indescribable ’forbidden space’ had formed around him.
"..." Gao Neng.
He was truly stunned.
It wasn’t just him...
The reporters who had been pointing their cameras at Shen Ning’Er, along with the Huashan Ancient Sect disciples who had been idly chatting, were all equally stunned.
What had they just seen?!
They had seen a small mushroom cloud!
Right in front of their eyes!
It had exploded right at Gao Neng’s feet.
And then, this small mushroom cloud completely engulfed Gao Neng...
The Alloy Arena.
Was fine!
At least it wasn’t pulverized into dust.
There was just a small crater.
From this, it was clear that Fang Tangtang’s ultimate secret weapon didn’t have the same piercing power as the No. 4 Electromagnetic Cannon.
However, the reporters and the Huashan Ancient Sect disciples were dumbfounded.
In fact...
Sect Leader Hua and the two Elders were also dumbfounded.
The more than fifty million viewers watching the challenge match live were also dumbfounded.
In the Federation Government Building, Zhang Hongying, the middle-aged department head, and all their team members were, just like everyone else, completely... dumbfounded.
That’s right!
Every single person who saw this scene was dumbfounded.
Including the number one on the Dragon List, the Esoteric Monk: Shaximo.
Time seemed to stand still for five seconds.
And then...
The small mushroom cloud gradually dissipated.
On the arena.
Gao Neng’s figure slowly emerged.
His face was black with soot.
His clothes were also black.
Actually, his previous set of clothes was gone. This was a new set he had just changed into. If he hadn’t done that, he’d be stark naked right now.
That’s right.
That’s how much Gao Neng cared about his personal image.
"A very nice ultimate secret weap... on. By the way, what kind of bomb did you say that was again?" Gao Neng said, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth.
"A neutron bomb! A miniature hydrogen bomb, in short. Pretty amazing, right?" Fang Tangtang put her hands on her hips and continued, "But mine isn’t a normal neutron bomb. It’s a humanoid neutron bomb. Do you know what a humanoid neutron bomb is? It’s someone like me, Death God Fang Tangtang!"
"A humanoid neutron bomb? Interesting!" Gao Neng nodded. Then, he started walking toward Fang Tangtang step by step, saying as he went, "Then would you please explain to everyone how exactly this humanoid neutron bomb is formed?"
"Sure! There’s a type of Elemental Energy called pluton—Ouch! Gao Neng, why are you launching a sneak attack?! Ah, stop!" Fang Tangtang was just about to explain when her face paled in alarm.
Because Gao Neng had already tackled her to the ground.
And his fists were raining down on her body like hailstones!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM! BAM! BAM!
The Alloy Arena shook violently.
Gao Neng couldn’t help but be furious.
A neutron bomb!
Fang Tangtang actually used a neutron bomb on him?!
Of course he knew what a neutron bomb was. That thing was called the ’War God’ of the battlefield by military strategists! A miniature hydrogen bomb... a nuclear weapon!
Right now, he only had one thought.
’What the hell did I just go through in those five seconds?!’
’My Electromagnetic Storm went out of control.’
His body had been nearly consumed by the shockwave. If he hadn’t reacted at the last second and forcibly absorbed all the radioactive elements produced by the neutron bomb’s reaction...
...then right now, he would be...
...if not dead, then severely injured.
It was a damn good thing his hidden talent was at 100%. If it had been anyone else, there’s no way they’d still be standing like him now.
"You dare bomb me?! I’ll beat you to a pulp!" Gao Neng pounded away with both fists like a madman. Of course, he held back, deliberately aiming for the softer spots, avoiding her face and vital organs.
He just wanted to make Fang Tangtang hurt!
Make her remember...
...the price for daring to bomb him with a neutron bomb.
As for everything else, he wasn’t thinking about it for now.
But...
...just because he wasn’t thinking didn’t mean the reporters, the disciples of the Huashan Ancient Sect, Sect Leader Hua, the two Elders... and the tens of millions of Federation viewers weren’t.
"A neutron bomb!"
"A real nuclear weapon!"
What had they just seen?!
Fang Tangtang used a neutron bomb? She could create a neutron bomb with her own energy?! Even if its power wasn’t that great.
But it was still a neutron bomb.
A humanoid weapon... a neutron bomb!
Federation Government Building.
After staring at the screen for a full thirty seconds, the middle-aged department head finally came to his senses. But by the time he did, his forehead was drenched in sweat.
"I think I get it... I get it! I understand why I couldn’t view Fang Tangtang’s hidden talent even with my clearance level! It turns out she’s actually..."
"That’s right. Fang Tangtang must be the sole success from the Federation’s ’Humanoid Nuclear Weapon’ project from over a decade ago," Zhang Hongying finished his sentence, nodding gently.
