There was no time to draw his sword, so he directly channeled his inner energy and punched the iron ball. Given his skill level, this iron ball, which hadn't been infused with much inner energy, wouldn't be able to harm him.
He hadn't expected that there was a rope attached to the back of the iron ball. Zhang Lei gave it a slight shake from behind, and Gu Yuan's punch missed its mark. The feeling of using the wrong force almost made Gu Yuan cough up blood.
Although Gu Yuan failed to stop the iron ball, its momentum had already been exhausted. Zhang Lei activated the self-check after his superpower was activated, and he didn't expect that he could actually activate his superpower twice in a row without interruption. Without the precise control assisted by the self-check, the iron ball's forward momentum was not sufficient, and Zhang Lei's control over it was far from proficient.
Fortunately, with a flick of Zhang Lei's wrist, the iron ball successfully wrapped around Gu Yuan's arm. Gu Yuan was catching his breath at the time and didn't have time to break free.
The fight was all about that one moment. Zhang Lei's side kick, instead of the iron ball, struck Gu Yuan's chest, finally forcing out the blood Gu Yuan had just held back. This was what they meant by "what wasn't meant to be yours, you'd have to cough it up sooner or later." It seemed Gu Yuan was destined to cough up that blood.
However, Gu Yuan's clothes were specially made, and the rope on the rope tag failed to stick to him. His hand slipped out from the middle of the rope loop, but he dared not stay any longer. Although he could still activate his superpower twice to dissipate, the other party actually had two self-examining people. He must not know which one had misjudged him. If he did not leave now, he might not be able to leave at all.
"Clear the way! Clear the way!" Gu Yuan shouted, knowing he was the first to make his escape.
Unfortunately, some superpowers have a duration that cannot be shortened at will, unless the superpower dissipates, such as Zhang Lei's self-examination, or Fujita's ability to enlarge his upper body.
His superpower is clearly very limited. Needless to say, the strength of his upper body is beyond question. As long as you get close, even with self-monitoring, you probably can't fight him head-on. But it's obvious that his thin legs, which are like two straws, can't make him run very fast.
In other words, his blocking the door and road is good, but if he wants a strategic retreat, he can only hope that the pursuers all have the same type of superpower as him, and that they all have to activate their superpowers.
Episode 3: The Bloody Path to Growth, Chapter 42: Strategic Shift (Part 2)
"What should we do?" Michiko was on the verge of tears. Even in battle, she was agile, and she couldn't move Fujita's large body at all.
Although Fujita's legs look pitifully thin in proportion, if it weren't for this contrast, his legs would actually be quite thick. It's just that they appear too frail under his massive upper body, like an elephant's legs, no matter how thick, would only look like matchsticks under a blue whale's belly.
At this point, the five-person diamond formation below was taking it easy. Kohara had already run away, and the two above were basically useless. As long as they didn't get close to Fujita, he didn't have much attack power and could only throw things down from above. As long as they were careful, it was still easy for them to hide.
Extreme enhancement is not an uncommon ability. Its advantages are as prominent as its disadvantages. If Zhang Lei and his group were trying to escape now, and Fujita were blocking their escape route, then Zhang Lei and his group would be in trouble. Unfortunately, that's not the case.
So now the headache is for Fujita and the other two. The five-man diamond group is currently slaughtering the ninjas who couldn't escape in time. Those ninjas were no match to begin with, and now that their leader has run away, the rest have no will to fight. There's no need for Linghu and the others to activate their special abilities.
Zhang Lei, however, once again began to examine himself. Without the help of his superpowers, relying solely on his physical body and internal energy, he would still find it quite difficult to deal with these ninjas.
Tianxiao somehow got hold of a bunch of those ninja-style shuriken, and he threw them haphazardly around the center, not to mention how effective they were.
The most conspicuous one was Zhang Lei, who had activated his superpower. The direction of the rhombus had changed imperceptibly, and Zhang Lei became the leading arrow. One by one, human bodies exploded in his hands. Although it was not as visually striking as Linghu's, anyone who touched them was guaranteed to lose their fighting ability. Even if they didn't die, they would be killed by the two horns of the rhombus.
The attackers surrounding Silver Sword also began to retreat, but apart from Xiao Peng, all of Silver Sword's men were injured. Even Xiao Peng found it difficult to stand up now. His injuries were internal. He could still use his powers these past few days, but using them again would definitely harm his body.
"Damn it! What the hell!" The Fujita couple were anxious up there, but there were others down below who didn't want to let them off the hook either. Old Eight in the circle felt they were being too leisurely up there, so he raised his gun and fired a burst at them, thinking, 'Let's give them something to do!' That's what Old Eight was thinking.
"No!" By the time someone noticed, his bullet had already been fired.
This essentially gave Fujita a chance to show off. Fujita's large hand deflected the incoming bullets like a baseball bat, while Lao Ba seemed to be providing him with ammunition.
Fujita may look clumsy, but within his range of movement, his massive body moves with the agility of a kitten.
Lao Ba's bullets were not wasted. A bloody hole instantly appeared on his forehead, from which a tofu-like substance mixed with blood spurted out. His eyes were wide open. Dying at this moment would be truly unjust, somewhat like collapsing before the finish line in a long-distance race. However, while a long-distance race offers a chance to start over, Lao Ba would never have that opportunity again.
Fujita was actually somewhat regretful. Simply throwing it from his hand wouldn't have achieved that speed; he had largely relied on the initial velocity of the bullet. Therefore, he wouldn't have another chance like that. The bullet was wasted. If it had been used to ambush the two girls, it might have caused their mission to fail. Leaving the twin girls to torment was Furuhara's interest; Fujita didn't need to obey the orders of that bastard who abandoned his comrades.
Fujita harbored deep hatred for Kohara. Even if he wanted to leave, he should have used his supernatural power to dissipate the threat around him. That way, they could have easily retreated using their superior agility! Without that massive upper body, Fujita was confident that he wouldn't be slower than Kohara.
His action drew the attention of those below, and Linghu led a few people to slowly surround him, but they still did not get close to him.
It wasn't that all these people combined couldn't defeat him, but rather that it wasn't necessary. If they just waited a few more minutes until his powers subsided, with so many people watching, even his fastest movements wouldn't be enough to escape. As for the beautiful dog beside him, nobody really paid her any attention.
"Everyone be careful, don't attack him before he shrinks!" It was Linghu who spoke. Apart from leaving two to protect the twins, the others from Silver Sword also came over and surrounded the outside. When success was in sight, he killed one of their brothers. How could the others not be furious?
If Linghu hadn't stopped them, these people would have rushed forward without a care in the world.
"Especially you, Xiao Peng, even though you have long-range abilities, you can't waste them now. There will be many more times when we need you!" Seeing that Xiao Peng was about to use the Ice Ring, Linghu decisively stopped him. These military guys have probably detained countless ability users, but they don't know how to use them.
On the other side, Fujita looked at his pet with affection, seemingly only having eyes for her, completely ignoring the people surrounding him.
"Michiko, you go first!" Fujita untied the chain from Michiko's neck and placed it in her hand.
"No, we'll be together even if it means death!" Michiko stood up, tiptoed, and gently stroked the lines on Fujita's face.
Suddenly, Michiko inserted her finger into Fujita's anus and stirred it inside.
"Oh, Michiko, what are you doing? No!" Fujita groaned comfortably.
He wanted to stop Michiko, but she already had an overwhelming advantage in strength, and going to fight her now would be suicide.
However, he couldn't use too much force, for fear of hurting Michiko. Besides, Michiko was already prepared. Although he grabbed Michiko's hand, he didn't grab her foot.
Michiko rubbed her foot against her toes, then put it in her mouth, smacking her lips as if she were savoring it.
The people on the other side were about to throw up. This was too outrageous. As expected, the Japanese have rather unique habits. Watching live and watching a recording are on completely different levels of excitement.
Just then, the group simultaneously sensed a surge of supernatural energy, something they felt they had seen before, yet something different.
"Watch out, that bitch also has superpowers!" The group was all prepared for battle, ready to activate their superpowers at any moment.
Fujita can be quite difficult to deal with under certain circumstances. It's rare that he's alone. Even though he doesn't have the blood debt from Lao Ba, the people from the National Bureau of Foreign Affairs don't want to keep him around and cause them more trouble in the future.
Episode 3: The Bloody Path to Growth, Chapter 43: Want to Leave? Not So Easy (Part 1)
"Does she really think she's a dog? Eating shit, how disgusting!" Tianxiao's face turned bright red, as if she was about to vomit. These superhumans usually have better senses than normal people, but at this moment, Tianxiao wished her eyesight were impaired, because she could clearly see the little yellow thing on Michiko's toes; from her angle, it was the clearest view possible. Seeing this, Tianxiao couldn't help but feel a churning in her stomach.
Michiko's ability activated a little slower than usual. By the time Zhang Lei and the others sensed the fluctuations in her ability, she had already begun to change. However, because she was by Fujita's side, Zhang Lei and the others could not take advantage of this gap to risk attacking her.
The tassels on Michiko's waist snapped off as her waist expanded rapidly, and like Fujita, her upper body was also expanding rapidly.
The nipple covers on her breasts were originally meant to cover her nipples, but now her nipples looked much larger than the covers, so they couldn't be covered anymore. At this point, probably no one would find her breasts attractive, even though they had become very large. If we continue to extrapolate based on proportions, they are probably at least a W cup.
"Damn it, I didn't expect the rumors to be true. There really are people in Japan with food-type superpowers!" Liu Yun cursed fiercely from behind Zhang Lei.
Now that only the two enemies remain in front of them, Zhang Lei and his group no longer need to maintain their formation. The group appears to have surrounded Fujita and Michiko in a scattered manner, but it is quite obvious that Zhang Lei and Linghu Zai Chong, the two melee fighters, are positioned further forward.
