World's Best Martial Artist: I Can Fuse with Monster Souls

The ruins, the broken walls...

The air was filled with the stench of decay.

This was the year 2321, known as the Third Age of Man, and also known as, The Age of the Wasteland!

In Paris, near the Eiffel Tower, rain was pouring.

Su Chen stood on the platform in the middle of the tower, gently pulling down the hood on his head.

He looked at a barren wasteland.

What he saw was a human city that no longer existed.

Broken remains and unknown mutated creatures were everywhere.

This was the first time Su Chen had left the base and came to the outside world. His purpose was to carry out an exploration mission.

Looking at the wreckage of the city, countless plants that were shimmering with a scarlet luster were slowly swaying, making people's eyes unconsciously attracted to them.

"Zzz..."

Just as Su Chen was lost in his thoughts, a grayish-brown beetle climbed up the rusty tower to his feet.

The green liquid dripping from the beetle's mouthparts quickly corroded the tower, leaving a black spot. As if it had smelled the scent of its prey, it slowly crawled closer to Su Chen's ankle.

"Whoosh!"

Just as the beetle's two pincer-like mouthparts were about to bite down on Su Chen's calf, a pitch-black long knife flew across the air!

In an instant, it nailed the beetle to the alloy platform.

Su Chen's eyes focused. He was a little careless. He actually did not notice the approach of the mutated insect.

At the same time, in the direction where the long knife was flying toward, a burly man crossed Su Chen's position and walked toward the edge of the platform.

When he passed by, he conveniently pulled out the long knife that pierced the metal ground and casually shook the green liquid off on it.

The poisonous liquid that could corrode the metal actually did not leave a single trace on the long knife.

"All of you, lean back a little. Be careful of poisonous insects," the man said lightly.

"Okay, Captain Gao Fei," the exploration team members returned.

Gao Fei was wearing a black waterproof tactical windbreaker, and his face was covered by a half gas mask.

Standing on the edge of the platform, he looked like a statue. The sticky liquid on the long knife in his hand was quickly washed away by the rain. In the direction Gao Fei was looking at, a mutated bat was flying straight in his direction. Its shrill howl resounded across the sky!

Its wingspan was close to 20 meters. Its slender neck looked extremely strange. Its deformed body made it hard to believe that such a creature could fly.

Gao Fei's target was a red crystal that the bat grabbed with its sharp claws.

The giant bat flew toward Gao Fei with a fishy smelling wind. A one-meter-long wound on its abdomen was bleeding non-stop. It was left behind by the man in front of him.

The moment when the bat attacked with anger, Gao Fei moved!

His long saber was like a beam of light, as he slashed out brazenly!

A silvery-white blade aura instantly pierced through the bat's huge body.

"Boom!"

With a loud sound, the deformed monster fell straight to the man's feet.

"Squeak!"

When the monster fell on the long-dilapidated platform, the metal ground let out a series of heavy sounds.

Gao Fei took the red crystal from the bat's sharp claws and turned around to leave.

At this moment, the mutated bat seemed to have returned to life. Its slender neck stretched out at a twisted angle like lightning, and its huge mouth full of dense teeth bit gnashed at Gao Fei's lower body!

"Da! Da! Da! Da!"

The sound of a fire snake spewing from the muzzle of the gun was heard!

At this moment, a series of heavy bullets connected head to tail and entered the monster's huge mouth without missing a beat, causing the monster's movements to pause for a moment!

Gao Fei took this opportunity to turn around and slash his blade downward.

The giant bat's head finally fell to the ground, no longer breathing.

Gao Fei looked in the direction where the gun was coming from with some surprise. A skinny youth entered his sight, and the gun in his hand was still emitting wisps of white smoke.

"Su Chen? Well done!" He praised.

After that, Gao Fei's gaze swept over the swaying strange plants and continued speaking, "These damn things give me a bad feeling. Let's speed up this operation."

The energy in the base could only last for another month at most. The purpose of this operation was to find enough energy.

Gao Fei's gaze looked at the red crystal in his hand. This was an Origin Stone. Although it was only the size of two palms, the energy contained within was enough for a base of nearly a million people to consume in a day.

This time, their real target was the wreckage of a spaceship next to the Eiffel Tower.

There was a large amount of energy reaction in the wreckage of the spaceship. The number of Origin Stones hidden inside the spaceship was probably not small.

Once they could successfully obtain this batch of Origin Stones, the energy problem in the base should be alleviated.

If they failed, the base would send a second exploration team into the wasteland.

There was naturally more than one exploration team in the base. Through the amount of resources they obtained, they also had a healthy competitive relationship.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei turned around and walked toward the wreckage of the spaceship.

The huge spaceship crashed near the Eiffel Tower. The huge wreckage of the spaceship was close to the central platform of the Eiffel Tower. From the platform, one could enter the wreckage of the spaceship.

Looking at the figure flying away, Su Chen took a deep breath. The heat from the gun in his hand calmed him down a lot.

"Thermal weapons are indeed difficult to damage Origin Beasts. I still need to obtain the power of an evolver as soon as possible."Su Chen muttered to himself.

The few shots just now only caused some obstruction to the Origin Beasts.

Origin Beasts were the collective name of mutated monsters like mutated bats.

When The Age of the Wasteland arrived, humans had fallen to the top of the biological chain.

Fortunately, when the Origin Beast was born, it was not very powerful. It gave humans a chance. Through the research of scientists from all over the world, the gene reagent was born.

By injecting the gene reagent, some humans had the power to fight against the source beast.

People like Gao Fei who had strange abilities were known as Evolvers.

Only by relying on Evolvers did humans gain a firm foothold in this wasteland.

Su Chen looked at the bat-type Origin Beast's corpse in front of him. Su Chen shook his head and turned around to look at the bottom of the platform. An alloy rope connected the platform to the gap between the spaceship wreckage.

Everyone used this rope as a means of movement to enter the spaceship wreckage. They had already entered the spaceship wreckage one by one. Only Su Chen remained on the platform.

In the rain, the gap of the spaceship was as black as ink. It was like a giant steel beast that was ready to devour anyone.

"Kacha!"

Su Chen fastened his harness' safety buckle on the rope.

Accompanied by the endless dark clouds, his figure streaked toward the depths of the darkness.

Su Chen, who was 14 years old this year, had already injected his first gene reagent into the base.

Unfortunately, the gene reagent did not have any effect on him.

By chance, Su Chen had seen an eagle-type Origin Beast used for research in the base. Only then did he discover the ability he possessed.

Moreover, this ability was extremely strange.

Su Chen was able to directly fuse with the characteristics of an Origin Beast!

Simply putting it, after fusing with the beast soul of that dying eagle-type Origin Beast, he had obtained a powerful vision.

This was also the reason why his accuracy rate was extremely terrifying.

All the bullets were almost at the same level, which caused a certain degree of obstruction to the Origin Beast.

However, after fusing with the beast's soul, Su Chen needed a certain amount of time to digest this energy. During this period, he was unable to fuse with other beast souls.

Hence, Su Chen did not choose to fuse with the bat-type Origin Beast's soul. What could he obtain after fusing with it?

Super hearing?

What he urgently needed now was strength that could enhance his direct combat ability.

This was also the reason why Su Chen joined this exploration team. Only in this way could he have more opportunities to come into contact with Origin Beasts.

This operation had mobilized three members of the combat team, as well as ten employees, including Su Chen.

Although Su Chen also wanted to become a member of the combat team, the threshold to join the combat team was to become an Evolver with special abilities.

For someone like Su Chen, who had only strengthened his physical fitness after injecting the drug, he could only become an employee if he wanted to join the exploration team.

Unfortunately, Su Chen could not reveal his ability to gain the opportunity to join the combat team.

The reason was very simple.

For example, Gao Fei's special ability was to control the gale. The Saber Qi that he had slashed out before were materialized from the wind's energy.

One of the reasons why a person with superpower like him was on an exploration mission was because of the evolution potion provided by the base. The evolution potion could strengthen the user's superpower.

However, Su Chen's superpower could continue to grow stronger as long as he fused with the Origin Beast's soul. It was practically a no-cost, no-profit ability. Once this strange ability was known, it would probably be taken by the research center in a few days to be dissected and studied.

Su Chen shook his head and threw these thoughts out of his mind. He turned around and looked at the bottom of the platform. There was an alloy rope connecting the platform to the gap of the spaceship wreckage.

Everyone used this rope as a means of movement to enter the spaceship wreckage. They had already entered the spaceship wreckage one by one. Only Su Chen remained on the platform.

The gap of the spaceship in the rain was as black as ink. It was like a giant steel beast that wanted to devour people.

"Click!"

Su Chen fastened the safety buckle to the rope.

Accompanied by the endless dark clouds, his figure streaked toward the depths of the darkness.
