"I'm not," of course.
Wu Zongshen frowned.
Lin Xiao, he certainly knew who Lin Xiao was. He was the one who orchestrated this trial, a divine realm expert, and the master of this Northern Frontier.
So that's it. These people were targeting Lin Xiao. No wonder the opponents were of this caliber.
If they weren't dealing with a divine realm expert, they wouldn't need divine realm experts.
"Bring him out."
The Dragon Nation language of this augmented human was very fluent, but he didn't know if it was a translation software.
"He's not in the Northern Frontier." Wu Zongshen remained tense. No matter when, he couldn't let his guard down. He wasn't facing a human.
He was certain this thing was definitely not human. On this augmented human that looked like a human, the human aura was too scarce, almost vanishing.
"Then..."
"Apologies."
With that, the augmented human attacked.
Wu Zongshen had been prepared long ago. His true qi almost instantly reacted, but...
The speed the augmented human unleashed still made Wu Zongshen feel slow. As he raised his hand, the augmented human's fist was already about to land on his face.
At most, it was only a leader's distance away. He could already feel the pressure of the punch on his nose, and his nasal bridge felt pain. As his hand moved upward, his body and head were also rapidly evading. He tilted his head back, bent his waist, trying to dodge the punch.
However, his movements were still too slow.
Was he going to die after just one exchange?
Unwillingness flashed through Wu Zongshen's mind. If this punch landed squarely on his head, his skull would surely be blown apart.
His protective true qi seemed to have no effect.
Just then, his eyes widened.
Suddenly, a pair of feet landed on the augmented human's shoulder.
Boom!
The augmented human's body was instantly stomped into the ground.
And standing on that shoulder was Lin Xiao.
"Looks like I arrived just in time."
Lin Xiao saw Wu Zongshen, whose entire body was drenched in sweat in that instant. He greeted him, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine..."
Wu Zongshen remembered Lin Xiao.
He was the only one who stood with his master and uncles when his master dealt with the Ning family that day. He was also the youngest divine realm expert he had ever seen.
"Glad to hear it."
Only then did Lin Xiao flip himself off the augmented human.
"Lin Xiao! Didn't we just agree? Let my puppet test the waters. I need to record data and verify the technology! You just went and killed him. Where am I supposed to get my data from?" Qi Tian spoke with full resentment. Now, he had lost his data.
"It's fine, there's still another one, right? That one seems even more powerful," Lin Xiao said indifferently. "If I hadn't landed precisely, this disciple from the Misty Immortal Palace would have died."
"He wouldn't have died. Based on the power of that punch and the disciple's reaction speed and defensive measures, he would have recovered completely after a month of bed rest at most. How could he have died?" Qi Tian calculated and immediately retorted.
"..."
Wu Zongshen had long heard that besides what Qi Tian cared about, he wouldn't bother himself with the lives or deaths of others.
This certainly fit Qi Tian's persona...
