Hunter of Mysterious Creature

The steel needles and the python were both retrieved by Sun Hang, converging in his hand to form the shape of a long spear—he realized that Iron Arm's ability to control the air around him was even superior to that of Overlord's. Thus, relying on long-distance attacks made it difficult to inflict any effective damage.

However, unlike Overlord, who controlled the air around him because his meme granted him the ability to compress and manipulate air, this giant nearly four meters tall relied entirely on his flesh to drive the air around him—with the swing of his arm, one could hear the kind of sonic boom akin to that of a supersonic fighter jet breaking the sound barrier.

Sun Hang couldn't help but mutter inwardly: Damn, the physical strength of this guy is freakishly high...

While muttering, Sun Hang's hands remained focused, the long spear thrusting toward Iron Arm's throat—a position located three and a half meters off the ground. Sun Hang had to aim the spear tip at the sky with a melancholic 45-degree angle to possibly hit what seemed to be a vulnerable spot.

Iron Arm retreated, while Sun Hang advanced—finally, the former was driven back against the wall with nowhere left to retreat, as he watched the sharp spear tip about to pierce Iron Arm's throat.

"Ding!"

The clang of metal resounded, as Iron Arm's upper body was covered with a metallic sheen, the spear tip, blessed with the "Sharp Blade" effect, only left a shallow white scratch on his throat before gliding aside.

"Nice burst of power, but alas, when it comes to metal strength, it falls slightly short." Iron Arm reached out to grab the spear, without exerting much force, and easily deformed the originally straight shaft, "I might be playing a bit unfairly, but regrettably, this iron chain is the strongest material I could find for you."

Despite the pretentious tone, Sun Hang knew Iron Arm wasn't bluffing—as he manipulated this iron chain, he could feel how unique the material was, its density far surpassed common heavy alloys, its strength rivaled "Gamma Alloy"... The spiritual power required to control this metal was at least thirty times that of conventional carbon steel alloy.

If Sun Hang hadn't absorbed the memes of Xin Ninety-Five and Chamer when he was on Nameless Island, he would likely have entered a state of overdraft by now.

"This chain is my training equipment." Iron Arm released the spear shaft, "When I first started training, I had to use ten percent of my strength to break it…"

"And now?" Sun Hang leaped back several meters, the long spear in his hands instantly reverting to its original form.

"Half strength."

Before Iron Arm's voice even faded, he instantly disappeared from where he stood.

Sun Hang felt a hair-raising oppressive force coming from directly above him, he evaded sideways without even looking up...

The anticipated deafening crash didn't occur, Iron Arm landed "lightly" in a nimble pose that seemed totally at odds with his massive form where Sun Hang had just stood.

Of course, if Sun Hang hadn't dodged, the force of Iron Arm's landing would have been entirely different.

As soon as he landed, Iron Arm charged at Sun Hang again, his speed was so fast that several afterimages were left along his path!

"Can't dodge." This was the first thought that popped into Sun Hang's head.

"If hit, there's an eighty percent chance of death and twenty percent chance of disability." This was the second thought that popped into Sun Hang's head.

As for the third thought, it didn't have time to emerge—Iron Arm's fist, larger than Sun Hang's head, was already dangerously close, the powerful wind from the punch even sliced open the skin on Sun Hang's face.

"Boom!!"

Iron Arm's fist hit Sun Hang's head, causing it to explode as if it were a durian placed under a heavy forging press!

"Sun Hang?!" Observing from the side, Yang Qi felt as if her heart had stopped—one moment, Sun Hang had the upper hand in battle, and the next moment, his head was blown up by the opponent's punch.

The two accompanying personnel were also dumbfounded—they knew this battle was arranged by Mr. Pei, but they never imagined that Iron Arm would actually kill someone...

The head was blown up... Were they supposed to bring a headless corpse to see Mr. Pei?

But just when the observers assumed Sun Hang had been killed, the headless corpse suddenly scattered like a boiled, mushy noodle—it wasn't Sun Hang's real body that was blown up, but a "mimicry dummy" made of Taotie mycelium.

Iron Arm's face finally showed a hint of perplexity.

At the last moment before his fist hit the dummy, he didn't have any doubt about its authenticity.

Iron Arm relied not on vision, but on sensing auras to track targets, whether it was the fluctuation frequency or intensity of the meme, this dummy was exactly like Sun Hang himself... What was going on?

"The technique of descending from the sky is indeed cool, now it's my turn." Sun Hang's voice came from above, thousands of steel spikes dropped from the ceiling, continuously smashing into Iron Arm, the sound of metal collisions incessant.

Iron Arm shielded his eyes with his hands, without counterattacking, only after Sun Hang flung all the steel spikes did he raise his head, looking at Sun Hang who was adhered to the ceiling by mycelium, asking, "How did you make that dummy just now?"

"Surrender to me, and I'll tell you." Sun Hang said with a smile.

"Alright." To Sun Hang's surprise, Iron Arm raised both hands in a French salute, saying, "I surrender."

"Huh? You're really surrendering?" Sun Hang was momentarily stunned, "Weren't you supposed to give it your all?"

"The time is up, Mr. Pei only gave me three minutes." Iron Arm said, "After three minutes, no matter the outcome, the battle must end."

"Oh... So that's how it is, it's fine, three minutes is quite impressive too." Sun Hang jumped down from the ceiling, trying to reach out to pat Iron Arm's shoulder, only to realize his hand only reached Iron Arm's butt.

Patting the butt seemed a bit suggestive... If misunderstood, that wouldn't be great.

Sun Hang awkwardly withdrew his hand, saying, "Can they ascertain anything from this short interval?"

"I don't know either." Iron Arm shook his head, "It was all Mr. Pei's instructions, I'm just following orders."

"..."

"But I'm personally curious how you managed to make the aura of the dummy almost completely identical to the real body?" Iron Arm asked earnestly, "My perception of aura intensity is very sharp, ordinary blinding skills can't fool me."

"Oh, it's simple... My initial infection meme is Taotie, you're aware of that, right?"

Iron Arm nodded.

"During the trip to Nameless Island, there was a Hunter of Angsa descent whose ability was to activate the meme inside infected bodies, using this ability, one could exponentially increase the meme intensity within infected bodies, but the cost was that the infection process would go completely out of control, causing the infected to transform into anomalies or become anomaly cadavers—I happened to find him in his last breath, and considering his situation was beyond rescue, I adopted the principle of waste utilization and absorbed his meme."

"So, you left part of the real body's meme inside the dummy and used this ability to enhance the meme to match that of the real body?" Iron Arm quickly comprehended the strategy Sun Hang employed, "But, aren't you worried that the meme within the dummy might spiral out of control, transforming into anomalies or anomaly cadavers?"

"What's there to worry about, didn't you blow its head off?" Sun Hang shrugged, looking at Iron Arm like he was staring at an idiot.

Despite his massive size, he's actually pretty smart, so why does he seem dimwitted now?
