Chapter 473: Newcomer Joins the Group
Ye Wukong and Nangong also smelled the blood and turned their heads to look.
The one who walked into the restaurant was a young man wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and dark blue jeans, his arms covered with tattoos, and his face wore a sullen expression, resembling a street-savvy youth.
There weren't many diners in the restaurant, and he swept a glance, quickly settling on Chu Ge and the other two before walking straight over.
Chu Ge sniffed his scent and had a sudden realization.
It was him!
The one with the Unbreakable Strong Body they had encountered on the Mysterious Islands, Ma Lingling's brother.
Ye Wukong and Nangong had not encountered the Unbreakable Strong Body, so they both became vigilant.
"It's fine, he's one of us."
Chu Ge said softly, to prevent any conflict.
The Unbreakable Strong Body sat down next to Chu Ge.
Chu Ge was still full of expectations for this guy.
This fellow claimed to have a defensive power value of over fifty thousand. Although his other attributes were average, the defensive power alone qualified him for Five Stars.
And the guy was two meters twenty tall, as tall as Chu Ge, only less muscular.
Such a beast could increase the intimidation factor against enemies.
"Boss, I've left my group already. I'll join yours next month. Let me join your club first; my sister said your club is pretty good," the Unbreakable Strong Body said in a carefree manner, without giving Ye Wukong or Nangong a second glance.
Chu Ge glanced at him and said, "Then you have to pay tuition."
"Tuition? What can you teach me?" Unbreakable Strong Body asked with dissatisfaction.
Ye Wukong immediately said, "Wing Chun, want to learn?"
Unbreakable Strong Body turned to look at him and snorted, "You? You think you can hurt me?"
"How about we spar later? You stand still, and I'll strike," Ye Wukong challenged.
"Sure! I'm not afraid of you with my fifty thousand plus defensive power."
Over fifty thousand!
Ye Wukong's eyelids twitched in fright.
Nangong was also startled enough that his hand trembled, and his chopsticks nearly dropped to the floor.
"Cut it out, just over fifty thousand, I'll teach you a lesson later," Ye Wukong retorted with a snort.
Talk as he might, he was still nervous inside.
Chu Ge immediately got up to pay the bill, then led the three of them back to the club.
Ye Wukong and Unbreakable Strong Body went up to the ring, and everyone gathered around.
"Who's that guy?"
"Not sure, but he seems pretty formidable."
"I think I heard the boss say he's a newcomer from the main group."
"Can the deputy leader handle this? He doesn't seem to have the same presence as the other guy." Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
"He shouldn't be bad; otherwise, Boss Chu wouldn't let them fight."
"True, there's no point in sparring if the gap is too wide."
The students discussed among themselves, and even the members of the main group started to talk.
Ever since the base battle had ended, they had gone to Survival City to investigate the Unbreakable Strong Body; the guy had quite a reputation.
He was indeed very strong.
However, he hadn't taken the Combat Power Test, so he wasn't ranked.
Up on the ring.
Unbreakable Strong Body stood with his hands on his hips, bulging his muscles. Everyone could see his muscles instantly expand, giving off a visually imposing sense of steel-like toughness.
"Come on! Hit me!"
Unbreakable Strong Body spoke with disdain.
Ye Wukong immediately stepped in front of him, about a meter away.
Bang!
Ye Wukong struck like lightning, hitting Unbreakable Strong Body's neck, but the latter didn't even flinch.
Then, Ye Wukong started using Unbreakable Strong Body as a wooden dummy to practice his Wing Chun.
The Unbreakable Strong Body was indeed tough, making his limbs ache.
But Ye Wukong did not panic and instead began to strike at the joints of the Unbreakable Strong Body.
Ye Wukong's movements were quick and efficient, each maneuver delivered with impact, dazzling the onlookers.
The Unbreakable Strong Body remained motionless, initially wearing a smile, but it wasn't long before his grin froze.
Ye Wukong kept circling him, targeting his joints and pressure points.
After circling five times, the Unbreakable Strong Body began to tremble.
"Chinese Martial Arts is indeed profound and extensive," Gu Tianjiao said with emotion.
In terms of physical fitness, the Unbreakable Strong Body overwhelmingly surpassed Ye Wukong, but currently, Ye Wukong held a glimmer of hope for victory.
Of course, that was only under the rules of the competition. If it were an actual fight to the death, Ye Wukong would definitely be killed instantly by the Unbreakable Strong Body.
"That's just the human form, it would be a different story if it were the Survival Entity," Xiao Ming followed up.
The others began to discuss amongst themselves.
Bang!
Ye Wukong's finger jabbed at the throat of the Unbreakable Strong Body, who, after being struck hundreds of times, finally couldn't withstand it any longer and stumbled backward.
Retreating to a corner of the ring, he didn't fall but just coughed a few times.
Ye Wukong's hand was shaking; he felt as though it was almost disabled.
"You're formidable. Despite such a huge gap in physical attributes, you managed to break through my muscle defense. Your martial arts are quite impressive!"
The Unbreakable Strong Body exclaimed in appreciation. He hadn't actually lost, and he could see that Ye Wukong was at his limit, but with the large difference in their power, there was no need for him to quibble over it.
Chu Ge clapped his hands with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, this newcomer named Unbreakable Strong Body will soon join the Suicide Group. He has a wealth of survival experience, and you can ask him if there's anything you don't understand."
With his clapping, the others joined in with applause.
The grand hall on the first floor was filled with clapping, and both the Unbreakable Strong Body and Ye Wukong also showed smiles.
It seemed like a case of 'no discord, no concord.'
And so, the Unbreakable Strong Body successfully joined the club.
In the time that followed, the main group members frequently challenged him, treating him like a punching bag, to which he gladly obliged.
Arno felt his status was being shaken and trained even more desperately.
As the next Survival Competition approached, everyone began to exchange for Survival Skills.
...
Nighttime.
The villa's first floor.
Chu Ge sat on a sofa and asked, "Has that undercover been causing trouble recently?"
Xiao Poor Thing, sitting on a large doll, playing with her phone, answered, "No, he hasn't shown up since Nine Extreme Sins was defeated. I suspect there might not be an undercover among us, but rather the enemy infiltrated our club. We might be overthinking it."
Chu Ge thought this was a possibility.
At that moment, Xiao Hero appeared out of nowhere, saying, "I've found out that the next event is an air, land, and sea competition, and it's rumored to be a free-for-all."
A free-for-all!
Chu Ge frowned.
That meant they might encounter Five Stars Survivors, Six Stars Survivors.
"Wasn't it the same last year? Under the rules of random species, it's actually not so bad," Xiao Poor Thing said with a laugh, seemingly unpressured.
In her view, the air, land, and sea competition hinged on luck.
Good luck could lead to a good life.
"We'll know by tomorrow. Time flies so fast," Chu Ge said with a smile.
The struggle for control over strongholds lasted ten days, leaving the remaining days for training somewhat rushed.
Chu Ge suddenly missed the ordinary days.
It had been a long time since he last slept in, binge-watched shows, or played games.
With that thought, Chu Ge stood up and said, "I'm off, continue training. Tonight we'll add an extra hundred kilometers to our run."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Poor Thing's face immediately fell.
Xiao Hero quietly left, as if he had never been there.
Everyone dreaded training with Chu Ge, for he was too ruthless.
