Colonial Suit

Amidst the violent roar, black energy surged in all directions, crashing along the Blood瞳's fist path like a flood. Everything in its path was devoured by the energy, disintegrating into scattered fragments. The energy was so formidable, so domineering, that it surged out for dozens of meters before gradually weakening, finally slamming into a massive stone pillar in the hall, a pillar fully two meters in diameter.

With a thunderous crash, the pillar swayed violently, revealing a huge gap. Half of the pillar's body was actually shaved off by the energy. Shards flew everywhere…

Sea King Eric's eyes twitched involuntarily… Astonishing power!! Could such destructive force really be unleashed by a trainee-level warrior?

It was important to remember that Blood瞳 wasn't wearing any armor at this moment; he was relying entirely on his physical body for the attack. And with Sea King Eric's discerning eyes, he could naturally see the terror of that energy.

It was a power that could completely threaten a meteor-level warrior!

However, Sea King naturally wouldn't know that it wasn't that Blood瞳 didn't want to wear armor, but that his Savage Beast was still undergoing modification, and his Colony Armor was in hibernation. He essentially had no armor to use. And it wasn't just him; all of his attacking companions were in the same situation. Without their armor, they could only bring out their strongest means, striving to heavily injure Carson in the first instant.

Robbie and Mia's gunfire, Bo Xi's abilities, and even Jules's manipulation of knives all joined the assault in the first instant. It was a tacit and perfect collaboration, unleashing the Blood瞳 team's maximum lethality almost instantaneously.

But…

The energy spread through the hall, rolling along the ground like a flood before finally vanishing without a trace. Smoke and dust filled the air, leaving a scene of devastation. A circular cocoon of light gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

Countless bullet heads were clearly visible on the cocoon of light, some still spinning, yet unable to penetrate it. And Blood瞳's fist was right in the center of the cocoon, suspended eerily in mid-air.

The scene inside the cocoon was very distorted, but Carson's狰狞 face could still be seen.

He had donned a set of dark red armor, his hands outstretched in a pushing motion. A venomous glint flashed in his eyes. A streak of bright red blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, a shocking sight. Then, before everyone's eyes, the skin on his neck rippled, and several bullet heads drilled out, clattering to the ground.

“Absolute Barrier,” Blood瞳 slowly withdrew his fist, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

He knew what it was. It was a protective measure built into the armor. It created a brief electromagnetic shield through the electromagnetic force released during deployment, protecting the user from interference while equipping the armor. Generally speaking, an electromagnetic shield could protect the user from attacks by enemies of the same level, hence the name Absolute Barrier.

But Carson's Absolute Barrier was clearly not a simple electromagnetic shield, but… a spatial isolation layer!

This was clearly a protective measure only available in advanced armor, yet Carson used it to withstand Blood瞳's attack. And while Blood瞳 and the others' attacks had been fierce, they clearly hadn't reached the point of transcending the meteor level.

However… Blood瞳's eyes narrowed slightly, and the baleful aura around him intensified.

Carson, do you really think that's enough?

Don't underestimate me!!!

In an instant, Blood瞳's indomitable battle intent surged, soaring into the air like flames. Then, before countless eyes, he suddenly stepped forward and slammed another fist into Carson's Absolute Barrier.

This punch didn't have the power of the previous one, but it was faster. Everyone only saw a blur before Blood瞳 completed the attack. Then, he parted his legs, and his arms suddenly disappeared…

No, not disappeared. Too fast…

In an instant, Blood瞳 unleashed countless punches as if he had gone mad. Others only saw a blur before their eyes, unable to see his movements at all. Beside the blue cocoon of light, countless black flames twisted eerily and frantically, rushing towards a single point from all angles. Countless roars grew from small to large, becoming like thunder in a moment. Black energy raged in all directions, repelling everything around and sending it into the air.

Mercenary Fist Art… Chaotic Wind!

This wasn't the first time Blood瞳 had used Chaotic Wind, but this time it was more uninhibited and frenzied than ever before. In just a few seconds, he threw hundreds of punches, each punch gathering his battle intent, each punch condensing his will!

He attacked frantically, his entire body enveloped in a whirlwind of fists. Large swathes of black energy were unleashed wildly with his fists, like flying black dragons. No one could see his punches clearly, not even Sea King. But everyone didn't understand why Blood瞳 was doing this. Did he want to use his fists to forcefully break through an Absolute Barrier that was a level higher than him?

How was that possible??

“Why can't I!”

“Why!”

“On what grounds!”

No one knew that Blood瞳's fighting spirit was surging at this moment, boiling like the sea. His eyes stared fixedly at the point in front of him, desperately swinging his fists. He didn't know how many punches he had thrown, nor did he want to think about it. He only felt that he had to break this thing. As long as he wanted to, he could do it!!

At this moment, his mind expanded to a high degree, faintly seeming to leave the battlefield and return to the moment when he was receiving Hanser's guidance.

Hanser's tall figure, like a fierce tiger, faced him, his eyes stern.

What is will?

Will is spirit!

Will is perseverance!

Will is fearlessness!

Will is never compromising!

But the real will… is faith!!

Find your own faith! Because it is the source of your will!

Hanser looked at Blood瞳 seriously, his eyes flashing with a captivating light. “Haven't you always wanted to see what my will is? Then look at it.”

Hanser raised his fist. “My will is the fist!”

The fist is will!! Will is like the fist!!

“The fist is will!” A hoarse roar, it was hard to tell whether it was pain or pleasure. But at this moment, Blood瞳 saw a crack… cracking under his fist. It was a crack in the Absolute Barrier, a crack that everyone thought could never appear!

“Pfft!” A faint sound, almost imperceptible, but it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

Because at this moment, they were horrified to discover that a black thing had suddenly appeared in Carson's blue cocoon of light.

It was a fist, a fist burning with black flames.

“This is impossible!” Sea King Eric was the first to discover this scene, exclaiming in disbelief. “Within the same level, no one can break through the Absolute Barrier. Let alone a lower-level warrior. This is definitely not real!”

But before he could finish speaking, Blood瞳's fist had already pierced through the barrier with flames, directly hitting Carson's chest…

With a loud bang, Carson's body shook violently, a look of pain on his face. A black torrent of energy poured in from Blood瞳's fist and vented out from his back, forming a long black flame behind him.

Carson's eyes widened instantly, shooting out incredible, unbelievable gazes.

“You this…” Just as he was about to open his mouth, a large mouthful of blood spurted out, forming a cloud of blood mist.

He couldn't speak, but he could feel the battle intent condensed in Blood瞳's fist. It was an extremely terrifying battle intent, one that Carson couldn't even describe. If he had to describe it, he would only use one word.

Domineering!

Utterly and completely domineering!

Carson didn't know how Blood瞳 possessed such a domineering battle intent, but one thing was clear: the Blood瞳 before him definitely had the strength to kill him!

“No! I can't die! And I won't die here, in the hands of a kid who hasn't even reached the meteor level!”

“That's right… this guy must have mastered a battle intent that doesn't belong to him through some means, but this kind of battle intent is not lasting. That's why he's desperately trying to break through my barrier.”

“He doesn't have armor, and his bare hands can't penetrate my armor. I still have hope!”

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Carson's mind, but his face became more and more狰狞. Even though he had been hit by Blood瞳's fist, he suddenly let out a piercing laugh.

“I won't lose, you bastard, die for me!”

Saying that, he suddenly withdrew the Absolute Barrier and raised his hands towards Blood瞳. Blue light flickered on his hands, and an energy-condensed ball of light appeared.

“Are you crazy? Using a pulse cannon here!?” The Sea King next to him was shocked and shouted desperately.

But it was too late. At this moment, the ball of light in Carson's hand had reached the size of a basketball and was emitting terrifying energy fluctuations. This fluctuation was so terrifying that even an idiot could feel the amazing power contained within. If it erupted, it would probably be enough to collapse the entire palace in an instant.

However, to Sea King's surprise, Blood瞳, who was closest to the ball of light, didn't show any fear. Instead, he looked at Carson coldly, his eyes still filled with a boiling sea of battle intent! A fanatical battle intent! Then, he did something in front of everyone. He stamped his foot, twisted his waist, thrust his hips, shook his shoulders, and shook his elbows…

Secondary Force!

“Will is like the fist!”

“咚!” A muffled, thunderous roar, and the most unbelievable thing happened. Blood瞳's fist actually pierced into Carson's chest in front of everyone… and then came out from Carson's back!

Blood splattered, and everyone was dumbfounded at this moment.

What did they see?

A trainee mercenary actually pierced through a meteor-level warrior with his bare hands without wearing armor?

This… is this an illusion?

“You!!” Carson's eyes widened instantly, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. He wanted to resist, but his strength seemed to be drained. He wanted to retaliate, but his will began to blur. Intense pain swept through his body, and he found that he couldn't even move a finger.

In this state, he watched helplessly as Blood瞳's fist pierced through him and pulled out a bloody device from his body.

Carson recognized that thing. It was the energy center of his armor…

The next moment, he felt a darkness before his eyes, and the darkness flooded him like a tide…
