PEERLESS GENIUS SYSTEM II

Chapter 255: The Release of Power

POW!

It was a ferocious blow, and Xiao Luo was thrown back violently, landing hard then continuing to tumble along the sandy ground for several meters, leaving a trail of sand and dust in his wake.

Everyone watching from the roadside was both in awe and horrified with the savage display of sheer power. Considering the number blows both fighters had thrown at each other, even an armored vehicle would have been smashed to a pulp.

"Oh, no... Mr. Xiao Luo!"

Ji Siying screamed in anguish as she stared nervously at Xiao Luo, who had been knocked down and was now lying still on the ground. Although she was well aware of Xiao Luo's prowess and his ability to take a hit, even a superhero like the "Ironman" would have been seriously injured after taking such a crushing blow.

"Mie, you better get up, don't act like you're done for the day!"

Jin Gang sneered at his fallen foe, standing proud like a divine sculpture glittering in gold. His well-defined and muscular body was beaming with golden light, and an aura of raw power radiated from within.

Xiao Luo clenched his teeth, slamming his fist into the ground, he slowly picked himself up. Blood streamed from the top of his head down the left side of his face, and his eyes glowered with unrestrained fury. A dark aura of malice emanated from deep within his soul, sending a chilling wind across the field.

Xiao Luo looked grim and fearsome, and a bloodlust glowed in his eyes.

"Oh, no, the beast in him has awoken!"

Ji Siying gasped, and she was shaking, as she knew better than anyone else that when Xiao Luo was provoked, he would turn into a wild beast. She still had vivid memories of how Xiao Luo transformed when he annihilated the Cobra Mercenaries in Luo Mountain, and the demon she had encountered then still scared her to this day. But, despite her fear, there was something about Xiao Luo's taciturn nature that appealed to Ji Siying.

"Awoken? What has awoken?"

Fu Yiren's curiosity was piqued by the mention of the word. She stepped gracefully toward Ji Siying with her hands behind her back, looking stunning in her black suit, which complimented her fair skin and slender form. Her eyes were fixed on the duel as she spoke to Ji Siying.

Ji Siying was startled, and her expression suddenly changed when she caught a waft of sweet fragrance. She instinctively covered her nose and jolted back, staring at Fu Yiren with abject fear.

The other NSA soldiers paled when they suddenly noticed Fu Yiren's presence and backed away helter-skelter, trying to keep a safe distance from her. Fu Yiren, Lady Poison, was the most dreaded among the Grade-S agents, and even Jin Gang did not compare when it came down to fear-factor. She was a biological anomaly, a freak of nature, and every part of her body contained powerful toxins. Even being in her proximity could cause a person to shed a layer of skin and succumb to her poison. In appearance, she was a beauty in every sense of the word, but to those who knew her, she was a fell and terrifying angel of death.

Fu Yiren maintained her casual demeanor and disregarded the crowd's panicked reactions. Switching her attention from the duel to Ji Siying, she said, "I asked you a question, what has awoken in him?"

"N-no, nothing... I'm just saying that Mr. Xiao's angry."

"Angry?"

Fu Yiren looked down her nose and frowned. "Well then, it might just make this duel a little more interesting," she quipped.

She then strolled off and took a seat on a large slab of stone nearby. She sat with her legs crossed elegantly, and as she slowly raised her arms, two small green-colored serpents crawled out from her voluminous sleeves and coiled around her arms, flicking their blood-red tongues. As Fu Yiren played with the snakes like pets, she kept her eyes on duel as it unfolded on the training ground.
