Chapter 185: Meat Soup

Hou Ao had already activated Blood Sacrifice, enabling him to use two Talents and the Skills of two professions simultaneously.

He pushed himself to the limit, maximizing his Recovery Power. After the chaotic fistfight with Jack earlier, he realized he absolutely could not engage in close-range combat with Jack again.

When Hou Ao saw Jack take a step back and let Kamiyu stand in front of him, he thought gleefully, “Ha, finally I don’t have to deal with that terrifying Black Armor Warrior.”

“Look at this little pink-haired runt—short, skinny, and tiny. She doesn’t look strong at all. This time, I’m lucky.”

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is an instinct of every Ability User. Seeing that it was Kamiyu who stepped forward to fight, Hou Ao began to show off again: “Just a little runt like you wants to fight me, a Fourth-Tier Ability User? Aren’t you afraid I’ll punch you into dust?”

Kamiyu saw right through this so-called Ability User—fierce on the outside but cowardly and weak on the inside.

She took a step back and said, “How about letting Jack deal with you instead?”

Upon hearing this, Jack stepped forward.

Hou Ao, publicly exposed for being afraid of Jack, was immediately immobilized on the spot. He didn’t know what to do or say, his mouth seemed to jam, and his whole body trembled. After a long while, he pointed at Kamiyu, his lips quivering as he stammered, “You… you… you.”

“What about me? Have you thought of your last words?” Kamiyu waved her hand dismissively.

“I’ll kill you!” Hou Ao immediately charged at Kamiyu.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, who can you kill? Hurry up and lie down.” Before firing, Kamiyu mocked Hou Ao one more time.

She was just that mean. Bullets hitting Hou Ao’s body would be healed by his Recovery Talent, but verbal attacks would be etched in his mind forever.

However, his forever wouldn’t be very long—it was about to end right then and there.

Everyone in the Black Sphere Room cheered her on.

Seeing Jack standing calmly in place, they no longer thought the two of them were useless or didn’t know how to fight. It was because they were too strong that they fought one-on-one, or even one-against-two.

“If the Black Armor Warrior is this powerful, then this pink-haired girl must be hiding even deeper strength.”

“Exactly. Didn’t you see? Even the Black Armor Warrior respects her. We were all wrong at first. This player named Kamiyu is the real expert.”

“Go, Kamiyu, take him down!” a player shouted, clenching his fist.

Xiao Zhong said nothing, focusing intently on the screen, silently cheering for Kamiyu in his heart.

But then, the familiar voice of dissent returned.

Brother Dong questioned again, “Hou Ao has unlimited Recovery Power. The Black Sphere’s Weapons had no effect on him before. I think this Pink Hair is another one who’s all talk and no substance. Better let that Black Armor Warrior handle it.”

“Xiao Zhong, quickly contact that Black Armor Warrior. Don’t let that Pink Hair keep flexing.”

“Would it kill you to say less?”

“If you don’t understand, just shut up. When have you ever been right?”

“Exactly, always stirring up trouble for no reason,” a player said disdainfully.

Everyone had stopped caring about Brother Dong’s words, treating them as background noise, which made him stomp in frustration.

Back on the battlefield, Hou Ao’s Recovery Power had now swollen him to the size of a small Giant.

Hou Ao bravely declared, “This time I’m different from before. I’ve copied the recovery talent, so I now have double recovery. Even if you, Black Armor Warrior, come down to fight me again, you won’t be able to defeat me.”

It turned out that Hou Ao had also exchanged his other talent for the recovery talent.

Double recovery.

It looked quite impressive, but in Kamiyu’s eyes, it only meant he would die faster and more thoroughly.

The Life Bullet she had unlocked earlier was specifically designed to deal with such shameless recovery-type opponents.

“Recovery? I’ll let you recover to your heart’s content.” Kamiyu stretched her shoulders and rested the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame against her shoulder.

Aiming, loading: Magic Bullet—Life Bullet (Triple Mutation Version), selecting mode: Proliferation Mode.

She aimed at the mountain-like giant and emotionlessly pulled the trigger.

With a “pong,”

the tip of the Magic Bullet spun rapidly through the air, tearing through the atmosphere, and struck Hou Ao’s head with pinpoint accuracy.

A headshot.

The fire attribute damage attached to the Demon-Repelling Holy Flame first scorched Hou Ao.

“Fire attribute damage? Didn’t I say I have double recovery now? I’m not trash like Qian Long. Damage of this level can’t affect me.” Hou Ao initially worried whether he had taken any damage.

But his recovery talent instantly “extinguished” the flames on his body, and a new layer of skin covered the charred flesh.

It was just a bit too fast. He wondered when his recovery ability had become so rapid.

1 second, fine; 3 seconds, fine; 15 seconds later, still fine.

Everyone in the Black Sphere Room was so tense their hearts felt like they were about to leap out of their throats.

Everyone’s blood pressure skyrocketed.

“What’s going on?”

“What about the next move?”

At this moment, Brother Dong eagerly wanted to prove himself: “See, I told you it was useless. Better let the Black Armor Warrior attack now while there’s still time.”

Before he could finish, someone noticed something unusual.

“Wait, why are all three of them standing still? It’s understandable if the Black Armor Warrior and Kamiyu aren’t moving, but why is Hou Ao also standing still? What’s going on?”

The next moment.

“Look, look! Hou Ao’s head has become bigger than his butt.”

Hit by Kamiyu’s Life Bullet, Hou Ao’s head had swollen to resemble an ET alien.

“How does it feel now, big-headed boy?” Kamiyu laughed.

Her Life Bullet was specifically designed to counter enemies with recovery-type talents.

It was like using ice, fire, poison, electricity, or dark attribute attacks to break through armor that enhanced Defense Power.

The Proliferation Mode of the Life Bullet, when used on Hou Ao with his powerful Recovery Power, was like injecting him with poison, directly accelerating the life-and-death cycle of all his cells.

The cells all over Hou Ao’s body proliferated wildly. His body grew even larger, transforming from the Hulk into a small hill, then rapidly expanding to the size of a stadium, and finally filling the entire enormous Deep Pit.

“Wow, that’s disgusting. Isn’t he dead yet?” Kamiyu watched as the Deep Pit resembled a pot, with Hou Ao turning into a meat soup inside, his flesh becoming fluid and occasionally bubbling up with human heads. These head bubbles emitted sounds of agonized struggle.

Even Jack frowned tightly.

“No, no, I’m going to throw up.” Seeing this scene, Kamiyu quickly covered her mouth.

Men San on the tree branch was so terrified that he knelt down: “What a terrifying Attack this is—a single Bullet reversed Hou Ao’s Blood Sacrifice, forcing him to vomit out all the humans he had ‘sacrificed’.”

It turned out that Kamiyu’s Life Bullet had a “chemical reaction” with the vengeful human souls within Hou Ao’s body, stripping these souls away from him.

These “meat soups” were actually the vengeful souls of two hundred thousand people.

—Because the draft was written to its conclusion, and everyone said the Plot was dragging, yet it couldn’t be changed, all I can say is that the Experience absorbed from this will make the next book better. I mentioned earlier that returning to Reality is a major Plot point, so it was planned as a medium-to-long story rather than transitional filler. I wonder if anyone noticed.
