The God Virus

Ptooey!

Boom!

Finally, when she spat on the sixth dummy, the one-star bone dummy, the dummy was, at last, barely able to keep its rough shape.

"What's my grade for this test, Mr. invigilator?" Staring at the invigilator, Lydia inquired while maintaining an innocent face as if she hadn't just killed an army with nothing but her spit.

A while later, still having not received any responses in return, Lydia could only repeat at the dazed man. "Mr. invigilator!"

"Ah, Y-yes. Y-your grade for the Test of Power is two stars."

"Em, but, wasn't I only able to deal damage to a one-star bone dummy? Shouldn't I receive a single star, then?"

"Haha… of course not. You see, being able to harm a one-star bone dummy means you would at least be able to harm the flesh of a two-star monster. Even though breaking its bones might prove to be rather difficult, in the bare minimum, you might be able to kill it by injuring its flesh and other fatal organs. Moreover, you've inflicted this much damage in a single attack. Therefore, you get two-stars indeed." 

"Yay!" Fully understanding the situation now, Lydia jumped in elation before retreating.

Meanwhile, Ismail Archer, the third ranker on the previous Test of Knowledge, mouthed speechlessly, "I-is this the famous act of killing with a mere spit?"

"I-I suppose though. I just can't imagine who might dare kiss that mouth." Damian articulated as an intense shiver went down his spine at the mere picture of such a scene where a man would explode to countless gory bits. He thought although Lydia was extremely beautiful, it would take balls for someone to be her boyfriend. 

And even if one did indeed find the balls to do so, he seriously doubted that person would live to tell all about it.

Subsequently, Abby Wu, the tempting Asian girl, who also happened to possess cute dimples, stepped forward before stopping in front of the next row of intact dummies.

Following that, she promptly took out a handgun from within her special purse before aiming it at the plastic dummy.

The moment she aimed the gun, however, a strange light seemed to enter the handgun from within her palms as it instantly started to transform the gun somewhat!

Soon, the handgun was done transforming as a more futuristic version of the same model was now being held within Abby's palm who didn't hesitate to pull the trigger!

Bam~

The next moment, in the middle of the plastic dummy's forehead, a hole was visible for everyone to see. Of course, not stopping there, she took a shot at the stronger dummy and continued the repetitive process.

…

"You're good, Abby Wu. You get two stars too." Announced the invigilator in an awestruck manner. Simultaneously, a legendary scene was replaying itself within his mind. The scene of a particular abnormal who was covered in pitch-black scales as he shot the terrifying flying pig of the past into smithereens right before everyone's eyes!

The Dark Savior!

"Thank you, mister." Truly happy with her results, Abby Wu thanked the man. 

"En, you should be proud, I think you even have the potential to be someone like the Dark Savior in the future." Nodding in satisfaction, the invigilator mouthed. This was his sincere opinion coming from his heart. 

Hearing about the Dark Savior, Abby Wu's mind promptly jumped back to recalling a particular video she had seen just a few days ago. The video of the Dark Savior's appearance in Shanghai where he killed the even more horrifying Plant Kraken!

Therefore, as her eyes were now exuding a monstrous degree of zeal and enthusiasm, she announced with unshakeable determination, "That's my goal! To keep up with my idol and even surpass him one day!"

…

After Abby, it was Damian Cline's turn to go through the test. It was soon revealed that his trait was to turn his legs into iron.

But in the end, he only received 'one-star' since his damage wasn't that high even though his legs literally turn into Iron.

…

"Ismail Archer."

"Yes, sir." With a bow at hand, Ismail walked closer before he simply pulled the string of his bow without putting any arrows in it.

Stupefyingly, however, the moment he began pulling its string back, on the bow, a shiny arrow started forming, until he finally let go where the illuminating arrow successfully hit its intended target.

…

"Two stars."

"Thank you, sir."

'The family name 'Archer' is really well-suited and appropriate for this dude.' Meanwhile, the same opinion was going through everyone's head.

…

"Anastasia Foster."

Finally, the much anticipated second ranker was called while even Virus' interest seemed to have been peaked once more. 'I wonder what her trait is…'

Lydia, Abby, Ismail, and the other participants' attention seemed to have been flickered too.

Nevertheless, being called, Anastasia didn't voice a single word as she merely ambled before the plastic dummy.

Then…

Astonishingly, both her arms were abruptly covered in red flames. 

Although they didn't really seem to be flames, only the word red 'flame' was capable of describing it.

Bang~

Regardless, as the red flame-like stuff was covering her hands, Anastasia didn't hesitate to punch the plastic dummy before shredding it into countless pieces.

'That's…' Taking a close glimpse of the flame-like stuff surrounding Anastasia's arms, an odd light was flickered within Virus' eyes as he thought of something. Eventually, though, he could only put the matter aside temporarily and proceed with watching the rest of the show instead.

Afterward, one dummy after another was punched in smithereens until, finally, it was the turn for the sixth dummy.

'This should be her limit. No one was able to fully destroy the sixth one.' This type of notion was passing through the minds of everyone present as they expected Anastasia to be incapable of annihilating the sixth one-star bone dummy.

Boom~

The following moment, however, as if to prove them wrong, she broke it apart.

"Oh!" Many shocked gasps could be heard immediately. Simultaneously, the eyes of many of the representatives started to shine like never before.

In the meantime, not pausing there, Anastasia moved to the seventh two-star bone dummy, and next, while both her arms were still covered in red-flames, she took a punch at it.

Bang!

This time, even though the bone was dented rather badly, she wasn't successful in harming it fully. Thus, this was the end of the Test of Power for Anastasia.

Refusing to utter a word even now, Anastasia merely started staring at the invigilator, meaning, she wanted to know her grade.

"A-ah… you get three-stars." With a few droplets of sweat covering his forehead, the man declared.

With that, Anastasia retreated as Virus' name was called in return. 

"Victor Goodwin!"

At once, everyone's eyes were now focused on Virus' figure. Everyone was truly curious and looking forward to the results of this dark-haired man.

'I wonder what kind of trait he has?' 

"I wonder, would he be able to get to the same level as that monster, Anastasia Foster?" Pronounced one of the representatives.

"That should be impossible. It's not every day you see a monster like her. He would achieve two-stars at most." Shaking his head, the other representative denied the possibility.

"Well, that's true. It's probably just that he's a little smart in the head. Nothing special."

Tap~ Tap~ Tap~

The noise of his steps reverberated as Virus casually walked before his own column of dummies.

Then, everyone was still waiting for him to display his own unique Trait when…

He directly punched the first dummy!

BAM!

The first dummy was gone!

BAM!

The second dummy… also gone!

BAM!

The third dummy… nowhere!

BAM!

The fourth dummy… no longer there!

BAM!

The fifth dummy… a matter of the past!

BAM!

The sixth dummy… no longer exited!

BAM!

The seventh… not!

BAM!

In the end, even the eighth three-star bone dummy disappeared!

However, it was exactly in this very moment when Virus stopped on his own accord. Although he could still proceed to the ninth four-star bone dummy and try his luck… for some reason, he did not.

Still, everything that happened in these mere dozen seconds had already left a deep image in everyone's mind, leaving their mouths dry while they could only stare dumbfoundedly at the terrifying scene in front of them with their eyes already opened twice their previous absolute limits!
