Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 525 Vision
This was the nineteenth time Luo Gandao had been knocked to the ground... Cheng Xiao's fist struck his right shoulder with moderate force, blocking his attack route, and the strange force also caused Luo Gandao to lose his balance and fall to the ground without any suspense.

He himself certainly didn't have the leisure to remember how many times he had been knocked down... The cruel thing is, it was Cheng Xiao, who gave him special training, who was counting the number.

"Not bad, you held out even longer this time... and you even showed signs of counterattacking or launching an attack." Cheng Xiao chuckled and pulled Luo Gandao up.

Despite being the one who had brutally beaten Luo Gandao, Cheng Xiao appeared kind and gentle. As he helped Luo Gandao up, he rubbed his shoulder. A warm sensation seeped into Luo Gandao's shoulder, relieving some of the pain from the earlier blow.

Luo Gandao wanted to respond with a grateful expression, but considering he had been beaten nineteen times, and would likely be beaten countless more times afterward, his expression was more than just a mixture of laughter and tears; it was a thousand times uglier than crying.

Sitting to the side, Zheng Zha raised an eyebrow. He could sense something... from Cheng Xiao's movements and the force he exerted. And now, Cheng Xiao's massage made things even clearer.

“He seems to have mastered some kind of energy…” Zheng Zha looked at Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang nodded: "Yes."

In his eyes, there was a wisp of energy in Cheng Xiao's dantian, which would flow naturally with his movements and exertion. This flow was not like a river source, flowing mightily to all parts of the body, but rather rooted in the dantian, only going to where Cheng Xiao needed it.

In theory, it's impossible to directly perceive extraordinary energy without magical means... For example, the blood core in Zheng Zha's brain, or the internal energy in Cheng Xiao's dantian—if you actually cut open their brains or stomachs, no energy would flow out. But long ago, Mu Xiang was able to use his X-ray vision to perceive the flow of energy within others' bodies.

Although with his strength, he could usually crush things with brute force, this kind of subconscious observation still helped him a lot.

"Oh, I forgot, you can see the energy in other people's bodies..." Zheng Zha muttered, "What is this? It feels like a balanced and harmonious energy... Considering his background, could it be internal energy?"

“That’s right.” Mu Xiang smiled. “Chu Xuan said that Cheng Xiao’s close combat ability is quite strong… Even those who have unlocked the first-level gene lock may not be his match.”

"The same internal energy produced by the Supreme God?" Zheng Zha scratched his head. "Isn't he from the real world?"

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and teased, "This means your real world isn't completely without magic...that's why you can generate things like internal energy. As for it being the same as what the Supreme God produces, it's not surprising. Doesn't the Supreme God's exchange come from countless planes?"

The others overheard their conversation. In those few words, Luo Gandao was knocked down once again. He was forced backward by Cheng Xiao. Although the dormitory wasn't cramped, there wasn't much room to maneuver. Just as he was about to be pushed against the wall, he suddenly kicked out, aiming for Cheng Xiao's ribs.

This kick earned nods of approval from many. While few present would fear its power, it was a formidable move for Luo Gandao at this moment. However, Cheng Xiao blocked it with his arm, while simultaneously slashing his palm directly at Luo Gandao's shinbone.

Luo Gandao was thus countered and fell to the ground, the pain almost causing him to scream. However, at the very moment he fell, a warm golden light fell upon him, causing his originally piercing scream to suddenly subside, turning into a long breath.

This was Long Taobing's holy light... the holy light of an archbishop, suppressing the negative effects of the T-virus serum was a piece of cake, let alone such simple physical damage. Without Long Taobing, Luo Gandao probably wouldn't have even had the chance to be beaten twenty times by Cheng Xiao. Oh, and there were many more times to come... After all, Cheng Xiao knocked him down once, and then helped him up and treated his injuries in less than a minute. And these past few days, Luo Gandao had been given three hours of special training every day!

Poor Luo Gandao had just demonstrated his top-student abilities in the mecha operation class, only to be subjected to countless beatings upon returning to his dormitory... If Cheng Xiao were a ruthless character with a blank expression, it would be fine, but he was always smiling and approachable, making Luo Gandao's experience of being beaten quite peculiar.

"Can you tell that I'm using internal energy?" Cheng Xiao asked Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha while handing the water bottle to Luo Gandao.

Mu Xiang nodded: "Yes... After all, you're actually a newcomer, not a veteran, so it's not difficult for you to guess what your energy is."

“Uh, it seems like you didn’t just guess, did you…” Zheng Zha scratched his head. “I used my senses, but you seem to really rely on ‘seeing’.”

Mu Xiang pointed to his eyes: "Identifying energy is not difficult for my eyes... With my use of the fourth-order gene lock and the improvement of my bloodline, I can now see even more abstract things. This may not only be due to the improvement of my body and bloodline, but also related to my realm."

"Something more abstract?" Zheng Zha pondered for a moment, then couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap, no way?"

The men gathered in the dormitory were all puzzled, but Zhang Jie seemed to have thought of something and took a deep drag on his cigarette: "Signal?"

“Strictly speaking, they are electromagnetic waves beyond visible light.” Mu Xiang shrugged. “In the past, it wasn’t difficult for me to see these things, but it was still very difficult to distinguish different electromagnetic waves and trace them at will… Now it is possible.”

"The world I see... is completely different from the world you see."

Zheng Zha sighed: "Is this what superhuman blood is like...?"

“You’re thinking too much. These are just side effects,” Mu Xiang said.

Zhang Jie, a cigarette dangling from his lips, kept his gaze fixed on Mu Xiang, unable to look away for a long time… Yes, all of this was secondary. Mu Xiang had never truly displayed the full power of his Superman bloodline. He wondered if this cycle of reincarnation would grant him the right to unleash that terrifying power, and how many seemingly indestructible things would shatter upon that moment.

Since this kid has his own plans... let's see what he does when the time comes.

Meanwhile, Luo Gandao clashed with Cheng Xiao once again. With each fall to the ground, although he still couldn't gain any advantage, he was improving at a visible speed.

Including the various high-energy foods he exchanged from the main god, and Long Taobing's extremely high level of holy light... Luo Gandao's physical condition should be able to reach a usable level before the critical moment.
