Xuan Hao twisted his neck a few times, and his joints crackled.
After a brief moment of unfamiliarity, he initially adapted to this Physical Body and stepped out of the room.
The corridor was spacious, about six or seven meters high.
This didn't seem like an ordinary building.
Combining his returning memories, this should be the headquarters of some organization, or an experimental base.
Alarm lights reflected on the cold metal walls.
Xuan Hao had only taken a few steps when he heard dense footsteps coming from around the corner.
Following the sound, he saw fully armed soldiers already lined up at the other end of the corridor, their dark gun muzzles locked onto him.
"Fire!"
A cold voice sharply ordered.
Da da da da!
In an instant, gun flames spat, bullets tore through the air, and continuously struck Xuan Hao's body.
His body shook, and blood splattered.
"Heh..."
Xuan Hao was covered in blood, he looked down at his chest, which was riddled with bullet holes.
But he had no intention of dodging.
Firstly, it was just an attached body; if it died, he would just switch to another. Secondly, those fatal metal bullets had not penetrated vital areas, they were merely stuck in the knotted muscle layers.
"The Physical Body of a Martial Artist... able to withstand bullets..."
Combining his previous memories, Xuan Hao gained a deeper understanding of the Martial Artists in this world.
"Boom--!!!"
Without warning, another startling change occurred!
The spot where Xuan Hao was standing suddenly exploded.
A violent blast of Qi, carrying gravel and twisted alloy fragments, erupted on the spot!
"Rumble."
Dust rose everywhere, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
Xuan Hao had just gotten up when he found his body riddled with holes.
He looked up, the thick smoke dissipated, and a deep pit was smashed into the metal corridor.
A spear nearly three meters long came into view, deeply embedded in the metal floor, its shaft still humming and vibrating!
Immediately after, a large hand covered in alloy arm armor steadily gripped the spear shaft.
A giant-like shadow emerged from the dust.
"Is it a Martial Artist...?"
Xuan Hao was thoughtful, his expression unchanged.
The giant walked slowly, its massive size approaching three meters, and its alloy armor reflected a cold gleam.
Its Aura was like a storm, pressing down.
"Die...."
Before the burly man finished speaking, his body, like a moving fortress, moved!
Without any fancy techniques, just an extremely simple charge, it erupted with a piercing whoosh.
In an instant, the burly man was upon him.
The spear swept horizontally, tearing through the air, carrying an Aura that would crush everything, and thrust towards Xuan Hao's waist.
Xuan Hao still stood in place.
"Boom--!!!"
The spear instantly pierced through Xuan Hao's body, but he didn't care at all.
"Palm Lightning!"
A low shout came from the corridor.
"Zzzzz."
A dazzling Lightning Arc shot through and struck him!
His entire body trembled violently, and electricity swept through him.
Footsteps slowly approached.
This was a stern-faced Youth, his palm facing upwards, holding a light blue Lightning Arc.
Beside him was a cold and alluring Windbreaker Woman.
She was expressionless, and with a push of her palm towards Xuan Hao, who was lying on the ground: "Shake!"
Boom! A tremendous force appeared out of nowhere, and Xuan Hao was sent flying.
The three-meter giant raised his spear, exerting force from his waist and abdomen, and terrifying power poured into it. The next second....
"Buzz!"
The moment the spear left his hand, the air was compressed to the extreme, pulling out a visible vacuum ripple!
The spear, like a black lightning bolt, shot directly at Xuan Hao's location!
"Boom--!!!"
Terrifying explosions followed one after another.
Wherever the spear passed, the walls instantly shattered and continuously collapsed.
The powerful kinetic energy generated a violent shockwave, carrying smoke and debris, completely engulfing everything.
"Is it dealt with?"
The Windbreaker Woman approached.
The Electro-Arc Youth looked at the destroyed area, his calm voice carrying a hint of solemnity:
"Probably not. A target Dr. Tang values so much... a true BOSS, how could it be easily eliminated?"
The three-meter giant gripped his spear and said:
"It has already died once. If so, then we'll just kill it again."
"Since it has died once...." The Electro-Arc Youth glanced at his companion, "Then why can it still appear here?"
"Our attacks seem to suppress it, but the effect is not significant. Don't let your guard down, it wouldn't be fun if we died here. The Ninth Squad is already finished."
"You should know that BOSS-level creatures all possess... the ability to perform a dimensional strike."
....
At the same time, in the smoke-filled corridor.
"Hoo...."
Xuan Hao propped himself up from the rubble, his wounds wriggling and healing at a visible speed.
"A bit interesting...."
Xuan Hao was thoughtful.
His powerful Mental Energy, combined with becoming a Martial Artist, would cause a certain change in his Physical Body.
This was the physical pollution recorded in that data file...
Besides that, there were also the changes caused by the Martial Artist's own Cultivation of strange energy.
Xuan Hao's gaze passed through the pervasive smoke, locking onto a glowing dot flickering above the corner of the wall.
That was a hidden surveillance camera.
The three-meter burly man had always been able to find him; someone was monitoring and someone was directing from behind.
The next second, the muscles in his arm violently writhed.
His skin cracked, and the crimson flesh tissue, like a living thing, instantly transformed into a thick, dark red tentacle.
The tentacle shot out, and with a "bang," the red-flashing surveillance camera was destroyed.
....
At the same time, in the monitoring room of the base.
The lights were dim, and the huge monitoring screens emitted light, reflecting several faces with varying expressions.
One of them, a calm-looking Youth in a long Windbreaker, looked at the screens that were turning black one by one, and whispered:
"Indeed... it possesses intelligence beyond our estimation."
The huge screens continuously showed static.
They had completely lost all surveillance vision.
Next to the Windbreaker Youth, a tall woman in a tight combat suit glanced at the black screen, then turned to look at the Windbreaker Youth:
"Dr. Tang, Long Er and the others should be able to suppress the target."
"Suppress?"
Dr. Tang gently shook his head, refuting her optimism:
"Rose, you underestimate it too much. This is not an ordinary threat. Its strangeness and danger may far exceed what you and I can imagine!"
He looked at the document and murmured:
"If I could easily deal with it... why would I use the entire base as bait?"
"Taking such a big risk to lure it here, if we're not careful... we might all die."
