Evolving infinitely from ground zero - Chapter 166:

Chapter 166: 133, Overlevel Power Kill

On the old streets.

Lin Zichen walked leisurely toward the alley ahead.

When he saw a catwoman with a pair of beast ears on her head and whiskers on her face emerging from the alley, his eyes instantly brightened.

A real catwoman!

50 credits in the bag!

“Buzz!”

Just as Lin Zichen was thinking about the 50 credits, a swooshing noise exploded in front of him.

It was the catwoman, whose Biological Level had reached the Ordinary Ninth Order, making her move.

At a speed barely visible to the naked eye, she charged towards Lin Zichen like lightning.

Her speed was so fast that it generated a strong air current around her body.

Causing the road she passed to be instantly filled with flying dust.

Faced with the attack of the peer-level catwoman, Lin Zichen was not afraid at all. He immediately burst forward with his Blood Qi Power, charging towards her to meet her head-on.

“How is he faster than me?!”

The catwoman, who was attacking Lin Zichen, was stunned to see him suddenly unleash a speed that far exceeded hers.

In that moment of her bewilderment.

Lin Zichen, who had been a hundred meters away just a moment ago, now appeared right in front of her, punching her innocent student face fiercely.

Then, a loud “Boom” was heard.

The catwoman, who took the punch squarely, was instantly sent flying backward, crashing heavily on the ground and tumbling all the way into the alley.

Soon, another “Boom” sounded.

Lin Zichen’s calves burst forth with power, shattering the ground beneath his feet, and he instantly turned into a blur as he rushed into the alley, pursuing his advantage.

When he entered the alley, the catwoman he had punched flying was already getting up from the ground.

The half of her face that took the punch burst open.

But what burst was just the outer layer of fake face skin, revealing the face of a woman in her forties.

Not ugly, somewhat attractive, but it lacked any dazzling appeal.

“Just a layer of face skin burst…”

Lin Zichen looked at the catwoman who was standing up against the wall, surprised that her head had not exploded from the punch.

Since childhood, this was the first time he encountered an opponent who could withstand half of his strength.

While he was still surprised.

On the other side, the catwoman’s heart was extremely shocked.

This young man looked so young, probably in high school or just starting university, how could he be so strong?

And!

There was no sign of a Genetic Integrator on his body!

The punch that had just been delivered was purely from his own physical strength!

But how could that be possible?!

In just a brief moment, myriad thoughts flashed through the catwoman’s mind, her face filled with terror as she realized she might meet her downfall today.

With that thought, without any hesitation, she powered her legs and “buzzed” as she dashed backwards, fleeing.

She had integrated the Shadow Night Cat Gene, making her speed far exceed that of ordinary creatures at the same biological level, comparable to that of Advanced-level Creatures.

As long as she wasn’t suicidal or met an overpowering Advanced-level Creature, she could always remain unbeatable and flee when she couldn’t win the fight.

However, Lin Zichen, who was behind her, was not any slower than her, he was even faster!

In just a few seconds, he caught up to her, leaping into the air and fiercely kicking her head.

This kick used a hundred percent of his strength!

“Boom!”

Just one blast.

The fleeing catwoman was immediately kicked into the air and “smashed” against the wall, her body burying deep into it, out of sight.

About several seconds passed.

Accompanied by the sound of falling rubble.

The catwoman buried in the wall finally climbed out, looking utterly disheveled.

At this point, her neck had broken, and her head dangling helplessly appeared rather eerie.

Lin Zichen didn’t give her a chance to catch her breath, rushed forward immediately and kicked her again, “Boom,” driving her back into the crumbling wall, causing it to break open with large web-like cracks, teetering on the brink of collapse.

This time, there was no movement from the wall for a long time, and it seemed the catwoman might have died inside.

But Lin Zichen knew that the catwoman was not dead.

Because he could still sense the Biological Level pressure emanating from her body.

However, this pressure was getting weaker and weaker.

Like a candle about to burn out, about to be extinguished.

Just as Lin Zichen picked up a brick, ready to smash it into the wall to finish off the catwoman.

The increasingly weaker Biological Level pressure inside the catwoman suddenly, like a fire drenched in oil, burst into intense flames.

Growing stronger and stronger!

Growing stronger and stronger…

In the blink of an eye, the Biological Level pressure inside the catwoman surged from being nearly extinguished at an Ordinary First Order to the peak of Ordinary Ninth Order.

And, it continued to soar.

Until it broke the confinement of ordinary creatures and just crossed the threshold to evolve into an Advanced-level Creature, then it slowly stabilized.

“Boom!”

The wall filled with cracks suddenly exploded, stones flying all over the alley, dust and smoke rising everywhere.

Then, a figure with a muscular build appeared in Lin Zichen’s sight.

It was the catwoman.

But her appearance had changed drastically.

Her neck was no longer broken, and had self-healed.

Her body was now covered in bulging muscles, exuding great strength.

Her eyes were wild, radiating a crushing presence.

Faced with a life and death crisis, the catwoman was forced to fully activate all the Shadow Night Cat Genes in her body, taking her transformation a step further to gain greater strength.

The cost was, she lost more of her humanity, while her beastly nature intensified, and her rationale diminished as well.

To her, this cost was permanent.

Because her compatibility with Genetic Fusion was low, and she was prone to backlash from the Exotic Beast Genes.

This was exactly why she became a catwoman.

“Who exactly are you!”

The cat woman bared her teeth, her gaze fiercely fixed on Lin Zichen, completely losing the innocent student appearance she previously had.

At this moment, her animal instincts were overpowering her humanity.

However, the intense pain throughout her body prevented her from losing her sanity and recklessly attacking Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen didn’t answer the cat woman’s question.

Seeing that her biological level had suddenly elevated to a high-level category and that she was in a desperate fight-to-the-death stance, he felt the risk of confronting her was too high.

So, he calmly said, “Sorry, wrong person.”

After speaking, he disappeared in the blink of an eye, completely vanishing at the entrance of the alley.

The cat woman, uncertain of Lin Zichen’s strength, chose to watch him leave and not engage him in combat.

“Who exactly is he?”

“Why can his physical strength be so exaggerated?”

“This is simply unbelievable…”

The cat woman murmured a few words, then quickly vanished, hurrying away from the controversial area to avoid any further trouble.

Just as she stepped out of the alley!

Suddenly, a steel pipe, thick as a chicken egg, fiercely stabbed from the side, “puh-ch” sound piercing her head and pinning her dead against the wall.

She was attacked stealthily, but before she could even react to defend herself, another steel pipe harshly stabbed her, “puh-ch” sound piercing her heart.

As soon as the second steel pipe was inserted, it was immediately pulled out, then fiercely stabbed in again.

“Puh-ch!”

“Puh-ch!”

“Puh-ch!”

It continued to be violently stabbed dozens to hundreds of times in rapid succession.

Each thrust was filled with Blood Qi Power, brutally destroying the cat woman’s muscles, bones, and tissues, impaling her alive against a wall at the entrance of the alley.

Seeing that the cat woman was beyond dead and all the biological intimidation within her body was completely dissipated, Lin Zichen finally relaxed his grip on the steel pipe and casually threw it to the ground.

He had overpowered and killed her.

Simply overpowered and killed a high-level Genetic Integrator.

Though it involved a stealthy assault, he truly, unharmed, killed a high-level Shadow Night Cat Genetic Integrator with the strength of an Ordinary Ninth Rank.

Natural Camouflage is truly strong; by hiding my presence beside the wall, even a high-level Shadow Night Cat Genetic Integrator with highly sensitive senses couldn’t detect my presence.

Uh, and also the damage boost from “Survival of the Fittest.”

He thought about these things.

The adrenaline that Lin Zichen’s body had previously released had also faded away by now.

Without the help of adrenaline, now looking at the bloody and holed corpse of the cat woman on the wall, he suddenly felt a bit uneasy.

But it wasn’t too severe.

After all, he had killed rat-people long ago, which immunized him somewhat to the discomfort.

“Once bitten, twice shy, maybe someday I’ll let Little Dirty Girl see some blood to toughen up her somewhat timid nature…”

Lin Zichen thought to himself.

He felt that since Shen Qinghan had embarked on the path of Evolution, it was inevitable that she would face combat.

Allowing her to see blood early on, to experience the cruelty of ‘Survival of the Fittest,’ would help her go further on her path of Evolution in the future.

Lin Zichen pondered these matters briefly.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood splattered on his face, then cleaned his hand and took out his phone from his pocket to take a photo of the deceased Cat Woman. He uploaded the photo to the school app’s task system to prove that he had dealt with Cat Woman.

Then he called the security department to have someone come and clean up the scene.

After finishing all this, Lin Zichen reached out to touch the body of the Cat Woman in front of him, beginning to consume the Shadow Night Cat gene within her body.

[You have consumed a large amount of “Shadow Night Cat’s” Life Origin]

[Shadow Night Cat Atlas: 36%]

How much? 36%?

Lin Zichen was stunned for a moment, not expecting that consuming the gene of just one high-level Shadow Night Cat Genetic Integrator would increase the atlas progress so much.

He thought about it and figured that it must be because the Cat Woman was overwhelmed by the Shadow Night Cat gene in her body, which led to a higher proportion of the gene.

It was just a fleeting thought; he didn’t dwell on it too much.

In the next half minute or so.

Lin Zichen carefully handled the Cat Woman’s body on the wall, concealing any traces of his consumption.

Afterward, not waiting for the security department, he directly left the alley and went home to shower and sleep.

In the school app’s task system, there was an essential item he had to complete.

This item could serve as an official statement; the school would coordinate with the security department later, so he didn’t need to go to the security department to describe what had happened.

Elsewhere.

On a street thousands of meters away from the alley.

Ma Xiwei made a call to Ma Zhenhe, angrily reporting, “Dad, that Cat Woman task I took, the information in it was wrong. That Cat Woman’s Biological Level isn’t just an Ordinary Sixth Order, it was actually as high as Ordinary Ninth Order. I nearly died!”

“What?!”

A shocked voice came from the phone.

Then quickly, Ma Zhenhe’s voice turned somewhat angry, “Weiwei, describe the specific details of what happened. Later, Dad will go talk to Director He, who is in charge of the task system.”

“Dad, here’s what happened…”

Ma Xiwei steadied her emotions and described in great detail to Ma Zhenhe the entire process of her and her peers chasing Cat Woman.

After understanding the situation, Ma Zhenhe said he would talk to Director He about it now, and told Ma Xiwei to hurry back to Shanhai University if she had nothing else to do, and not to stay out to avoid any revenge from the Cat Woman.

Ma Xiwei, always obedient to her parents, immediately hailed a ride-sharing car after ending the call, and along with her seniors, started heading back to Shanhai University.

Just after getting into the car, the senior sitting in the backseat with Ma Xiwei suddenly spoke in surprise, “What’s going on? How did Lin Zichen complete that Cat Woman task?!”

“What did you say?”

Ma Xiwei thought she had misheard, saying in disbelief, “That Cat Woman’s Biological Level is as high as an Ordinary Ninth Rank, how could he possibly complete it!”

The senior said, “Really, you two quickly check the task. It shows that Lin Zichen completed it just a minute ago.”

Ma Xiwei didn’t take out her phone, but leaned over to look at the senior’s phone instead.

When she saw that the Cat Woman task had indeed been completed by Lin Zichen, she was full of disbelief.

This is impossible!

That cunning Cat Woman, she was a Genetic Integrator of a high-level Ordinary Ninth Order Shadow Night Cats!

Lin Zichen was just a freshman. What could he possibly have used to complete it?!
