Chapter 353

The opponent will surely become even more powerful and terrifying!

Therefore.

They absolutely cannot fall behind!

They must strive with all their might to chase after him!

Even though they clearly know…

They have no right to catch up to that monster's footsteps, yet they still pour out their youth and sweat, working hard for it.

The entire Mariejois was swept up in a positive, upward atmosphere.

"Lu En, by the time we meet again, the powerful strength I display will surely give you a great shock!"

"Just you wait!"

"I absolutely will not lose to you by too much."

Smoker's face was full of resolve.

"Little brother Lu En, I won't be left behind by you by too much."

"I want to catch up to your footsteps and walk side by side with you."

"And in the end…"

"I want to be worthy of you!"

Including Tina's heart was filled with admiration as she thought this.

It could be clearly seen.

All the trainees in the training camp were working even harder than before.

……

Time flew by,

The stars shifted.

Tides rose and fell,

Seasons alternated.

Time quietly slipped away through the gaps between people's fingertips, unnoticed.

Ungraspable,

Untouchable.

People could only passively bear the merciless scars left on their bodies by the years.

Thus,

Day after day,

Year after year.

In the blink of an eye,

A whole year had passed.

One year later.

Marine Headquarters,

Mariejois.

Ten kilometers to the southeast.

This was a very remote, desolate mountain range.

A very massive scientific research institute stood here.

Towering and lofty, carrying a sense of full solemnity and sternness.

Before the gate,

Two elite Marines in uniform, well-equipped, guarded the gate meticulously.

Inside the research institute.

Everything was clean and tidy in all directions, white as jade.

The air carried waves of cool fragrance, refreshing and exhilarating.

In chamber after chamber, researchers in white coats stood, intently busy with their own tasks, fully concentrated.

It was very quiet here,

A place dedicated to researchers' quiet work naturally could not be as noisy as a vegetable market.

In one of the chambers.

In the central area,

A very massive chamber was set up, its entire body brimming with technological beauty; colorful pipes ran underground toward the chamber, and dense, countless electric wires connected to it.

The chamber was made of very unique material, smooth as jade all over.

Silver in color, five meters tall and four meters wide.

In the middle,

Was a piece of transparent liquid-crystal glass, allowing one to see the details inside the chamber from outside.

At this moment.

The entire interior of the chamber was wildly flashing with brilliant electric currents; currents of tremendous destructive power roamed madly within the chamber.

Within this super-intensity electric current space, if an ordinary person were to rashly step in, they would likely be destroyed in an instant, soul scattered, by even a single current.

The electric current intensity here was far too high!

Let alone ordinary people—even powerful Marine strongmen who rashly set foot inside the chamber would likely be unable to withstand the stimulation of this current.

However.

The terrifying thing was...

Within the cabin, the interior was filled with such terrifying currents.

There was a bare-chested youth, eyes slightly closed, his entire body enduring the stimulation of the electric currents, emitting crackling, ear-piercing sounds.

Bzzt-bzzt-bzzt!

Countless currents carrying world-destroying power seemed bent on completely annihilating the youth's body, each bolt madly eroding and penetrating into him.

Not only did they stimulate the surface of his skin...

Even,

They followed his respiratory tract, piercing through from the inhaled air into his body, intending to utterly destroy every internal organ — heart, lungs, and all the rest.

But, the terrifying thing was...

Under the assault of such extreme-intensity currents, the youth still maintained his original appearance, showing no sign of abnormality or pain whatsoever.

Instead,

A look of Tao Zui surfaced on his face.

Not pain...

But enjoyment!

Yes!

Under the stimulation of these extreme-intensity currents, the youth was savoring the stabbing pain transmitted from his body, and the stabbing pain of his internal organs under the current's assault.

Visible to the naked eye.

The youth's hair was singed and stood on end by the currents, and slight scorch marks appeared across his body, yet bizarrely, these currents could never pierce his skin's surface layer.

They could only inflict a certain degree of minor superficial wounds on his body.

Nothing more!

At this moment.

Outside the cabin.

The control room.

One after another, researchers in white coats stared at the figure of the youth — barely five years old — inside the cabin, their eyes brimming with shock.

Each of them stood dumbfounded, stupefied.

A thick wave of shock surged through their hearts, making their bodies tremble uncontrollably.

"C-Captain, is this really not going to be a problem?"
