"What are you doing?" Chris was a bit dazed by the sudden turn of events. Not only her, but even Mousse looked at Athena and Sigaeo with confusion.
Mousse at least knew a little about the situation, specifically about the Fourth Mode! But what about the Fourth Mode? It wasn't part of their previous plan! At this moment, the three of them had gathered to block the doorway, turning from those who intended to enter into guardians. Meanwhile, the original protectors now stood in an offensive position.
Chris had begun to piece together some of the puzzle, but with Sigaeo providing cover, the three continued to retreat. Meanwhile, a hidden sniper was constantly disrupting their team. This was the true value of a sniper—silent yet threatening, like a thorn in one's back; once they launched an attack, it would be devastating.
Reluctantly, Chris pressed her communicator and said, "They've entered. Stop them at all costs!"
Sigaeo, still fighting and retreating, spoke through the earpiece, "Is it really him who has returned?"
"I don't know. However, Zhebie's words can definitely be trusted. Even if it's not him, it must be a teammate of Consort Mi who received the news. With Zhebie's intellect, he wouldn't act recklessly!" Athena replied.
"What should we do? Once we enter here, it's a dead end—there's no way back!" Sigaeo exclaimed.
"We never had a way back. We can only hope that Star Master learns about this and gives orders! But one thing I am sure of is that Old Pervert wouldn't dare to act against us openly. Even if there's chaos this time, Old Pervert will have to respectfully escort us out!" Athena stated.
With that, the three nodded and charged downward. Awaiting them were countless Gene Warriors, who had already holstered their firearms; after all, no one wanted any fatalities. The Tiger Shark Team members were no different; weapons stowed away, the three planned to make a ruckus and provide final cover for Zhebie's ally.
Xiao Yefeng had already slipped through the entrance while the lights went out before these three arrived. He had managed to sneak into the Underground Base before the group of Gene Warriors inside could mobilize. With his exceptional skills and various Talismans aiding him, Xiao Yefeng navigated through layers of defenses. Now he faced the Great Gate at the very bottom of the base.
Of course, the Great Gate wasn't the most critical aspect; what truly mattered was the figure standing before it—a gatekeeper shrouded in deathly energy and cloaked in a dark gray robe. A three-foot-long sword hung at his waist. Xiao Yefeng had been hiding in a corner for three minutes now; this person remained still—not even a rise or fall in his chest could be seen. It was unclear whether it was due to his oversized robe obscuring any breathing movements or if he simply did not breathe at all.
Yet this strange figure exuded a concentration of Yang energy around True Spirit Pinnacle level but simultaneously radiated an overwhelming aura of death energy. What is death energy? It felt like being near a desolate graveyard—a sensation that sent chills down one's spine upon approach.
Moreover, Xiao Yefeng was very familiar with this Great Gate; it was a type of door used only in national treasuries across various countries—thick enough to withstand missiles and could only be opened with a unique key. The eerie blue glow of a Magnetic Card hung from this strange person's robe at his chest. Behind the door were two sources of Yang energy—one clearly belonged to Consort Mi; as for the other person, he had no idea who it might be.
It was clear that to enter, one needed to obtain the Magnetic Card. To get the Magnetic Card, one had to defeat this strange person. After assessing the situation, Xiao Yefeng drew his Mechanical Longsword and stealthily approached the most suitable ambush spot in the dark corner against the wall. Indeed, Xiao Yefeng had no intention of launching a straightforward attack; he had never been a noble gentleman. If he could strike decisively, he would not hesitate due to any sense of propriety.
Seeing that the strange person remained oblivious to his presence, Xiao Yefeng crouched like an arrow, his legs coiling like springs. With a push against the wall, his bow-shaped body lunged forward with the sword as its tip, aiming directly at the stranger's back. In mid-air, Xiao Yefeng activated his spiritual power, and a faint Light Blade emerged, piercing toward the stranger. The Mechanical Longsword was already capable of slicing through iron like mud; now with the appearance of the Light Blade, it was as if nothing could withstand it.
With a sharp sound, the longsword entered smoothly; the Mechanical Longsword pierced through the stranger's back unexpectedly easily. Xiao Yefeng was slightly taken aback by this success. However, since he had already succeeded, he withdrew the Mechanical Longsword and flicked off the blood from its blade before reaching for the Magnetic Card at the stranger's chest.
With a tug, the rope was severed. The Magnetic Card was swiped at the entrance's authentication point, and after releasing a burst of air, the massive door began to rotate inward toward its corners. The door, a full meter wide, completely retracted into the wall. At that moment, everything inside came into view for Xiao Yefeng: a completely naked woman submerged in a Glass Experiment Tank filled with Light Green Liquid.
Although she was exposed in three places, there was no hint of lewdness about her; instead, a pure aura surrounded her. Her devilish figure could hardly describe her beauty. However, if one were to indulge their eyes too much at this moment, it would be excessive because despite her nudity and exposure, her body was covered in green scales from head to toe. The pale green scales gave her an otherworldly beauty.
Due to her genetic activation state in full Beastification mode, her features were nearly unrecognizable. Nevertheless, Xiao Yefeng immediately recognized her as Consort Mi. Her long black hair cascaded like silk in the pale green liquid beside the glass tank. Clenching his right fist tightly, dense Azure Gold Scales appeared on his arm. With Gene Half-Beast Transformation activated, Xiao Yefeng could almost change instantly without needing to manipulate Punishment Power.
However, just as Xiao Yefeng raised his fist to shatter the glass container imprisoning Consort Mi, a somewhat feminine voice interrupted him: "Bee-Xiao Yefeng! Or should I call you by your current name—Xiao Yefeng?"
His raised right fist remained poised but turned toward the source of the voice. A man dressed in a white lab coat with gold-rimmed glasses and holding a thick book smiled at him.
Upon seeing this person, Xiao Yefeng instinctively called out: "Virgo Palace Master!"
The voice was neither male nor female; it belonged to a delicate-looking man with golden hair and gold-rimmed glasses—one of the twelve palace masters of Zodiac! Xiao Yefeng had seen him a few times before and knew that his code name was Virgin. Although it sounded odd, all palace masters of Zodiac referred to themselves by their zodiac signs. While it might seem strange in Eastern culture, it was quite normal within Western contexts.
However, among other teams privately referring to him as Old Pervert or similar names was not unfounded; these titles stemmed from his strength and perverse behavior.
In terms of strength, when Xiao Yefeng was still an ordinary Mercenary, he had witnessed Old Pervert in action once. At that time, an inexperienced assassin who had just entered the field received a mission to assassinate him. As an ordinary person then, Old Pervert caught bullets fired by the assassin barehanded and retaliated by shooting them back into the assassin's gun barrel. The resulting explosion killed that assassin instantly.
To know that everyone back then was just an ordinary person, Xiao Yefeng can now accomplish the same feats, but that was over a decade ago. The extent of this old monster's strength is something Xiao Yefeng cannot even begin to estimate.
"Time flies; it has been about six years since we last met! Five years ago, you were our pride as a Mercenary. Do you know? Yin-Yang Fish mentioned you more than once in front of the boss. If you hadn't chosen to withdraw, perhaps you would be on equal footing with us now!" Virgo Palace Master said.
"That was endless glory, but I don't need that kind of life!" Xiao Yefeng glanced at the vessel behind him containing Consort Mi.
"So what! You are living in this kind of life now, and you've mastered the changes of Gene Warrior, along with the incredible Eastern Feng Shui Techniques backing you. You are destined never to return to the world of ordinary people!" Virgo Palace Master replied.
Looking at Virgo Palace Master, who stood before him like a neighborly older brother, Xiao Yefeng shook his head and said, "Old Pervert, we are now on opposing sides. You don't really want to recruit me, do you? With how you treat Consort Mi, I, Xiao Yefeng, will never spare you!"
Hearing Xiao Yefeng insult him by calling him Old Pervert, Virgo Palace Master remained unfazed and said, "Women? They are merely tools. Do men lack women? You certainly don’t lack them now. With your current power and status, I believe countless women would willingly offer themselves to you at a mere gesture! Is such a woman worth your complete break with me?"
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng gritted his teeth and said, "Old Pervert, you don’t understand. Someone like you could never comprehend what feelings are! Consort Mi may not be my woman, but I absolutely will not tolerate her being humiliated." He then punched the glass vessel beside him.
However, with that punch, Xiao Yefeng was sent flying back and crashed against the metallic wall behind him. He felt a surge in his chest and had to circulate his spiritual energy to suppress the rising Qi. At this moment, he looked in astonishment at the glass wall; that punch should have shattered it. Even if it were a wall, he could guarantee it would crack under such force, yet this glass wall remained completely unscathed.
"Surprised? This is a glass wall made from the latest technology—a material exclusive to the constellations. We call it Absolute Barrier. Although it seems like just a thin layer, it is the strongest shield capable of protecting those inside from missile strikes! With your current gene activation below forty percent, you cannot break it!" the Palace Master laughed as he opened the book he was holding and began jotting down notes.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng casually asked, "What do you mean by below forty percent?"
