Chapter 147: Do you really think I'm an idiot?

The elevator was fast; in a short while it reached the top floor of the experimental base.

But this time's top floor was not the same as what Su Hao had seen on his previous visit.

As the elevator doors opened, two cannons with barrels nearly a meter in diameter extended from the ceiling, their dark muzzles aimed at the elevator.

The blue projection in the room no longer hid itself, turning into a black, twisted head.

"I didn't expect you to actually obtain the Permit Token, learn how to use it, and seize control of the elevator, but..."

"You're too arrogant; the top floor of T235 Experimental Base is my turf—even a Supernatural Fourth Rank won't be able to leave after entering."

"Since you managed to get the Permit Token, if you hand it over, I'll let you leave alive, and I'll even give you the reward of the final trial."

Although the projection's voice was terribly distorted and hoarse, it was full of temptation, making people feel afraid yet unable to resist believing what it said.

After hearing this, Da Xiong Mao instinctively stretched out its paws, both hands reaching for Su Hao's Storage Bag at his waist.

Pa! Unfortunately, Su Hao had two souls within him; he quickly shook off the intruder's temptation and slapped Da Xiong Mao's paw away.

"Hah! If those two cannons of yours could really instant-kill a Supernatural Fourth Rank, I'd turn and leave!"

Su Hao gave a light chuckle, took out his Gravity Rock Axe, and walked forward slowly.

"If you can't instant-kill a Supernatural Fourth Rank, then wait for me to smash you with one axe blow!" "Young man, don't be so impulsive; anyway, having the Permit Token is useless."

"You'd be better off handing the Permit Token to me instead of just carrying it around for nothing; you could take the trial reward and become a Third Tier, or even a Supernatural Fourth Rank—how wonderful would that be?"

Seeing that Su Hao wasn't intimidated, the intruder didn't give up; after threats failed, it switched to temptation.

However, Su Hao seemed not to hear it at all; his steps didn't stop but actually quickened.

"It really is just a paper tiger—if it had any real power, it would have fired already instead of spouting nonsense." "Hmph! Since you won't cooperate, I'll kill you and personally take back the Permit Token!"

The next moment.

Inside the two black cannons, violent energy surged, forming a blue energy ball at the muzzle; it shot out two blue lasers at lightning speed, flying toward Su Hao.

Those two lasers were extremely fast, giving Su Hao no time to react, and they pierced straight through his head and left chest.

After the blue light faded, Su Hao's head, left hand, and the left half of his chest were completely destroyed by those two blue lasers.

"Is that all? I thought it would be more formidable!"

Seeing Su Hao's body mangled by the two laser blasts, the intruder's projection sneered, turned its gaze to Su Hao's Storage Bag at his waist, and tried to force it open to take out what was inside.

"Huh?"

However, the moment his power touched the Storage Bag, it was interfered with by a mental force and bounced away instantly.

Only then did he notice that the injured parts of Su Hao's body were sprouting dense granules of flesh.

Amid the wriggling of those granules, the flesh and bone destroyed by the blue lasers began to repair at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, after being hit by the blue lasers, Su Hao's steps did not cease at all.

By then he had reached the left cannon, raised his Gravity Rock Axe, and brought it down hard. Boom! Accompanied by a dull thud, the black cannon muzzle was slightly deformed by the axe blow.

Even the connection between the cannon's tip and the ceiling couldn't withstand the force; screws snapped one by one, falling from the ceiling, and the whole cannon crashed heavily to the ground.

"Damn it! You dare to play me!"

Seeing this, the intruder suddenly came to its senses, realizing it had been fooled by Su Hao; such injuries could not possibly kill him.

Immediately, he took control of the remaining cannon and turned its muzzle toward Su Hao.

However, the distance between them was now too close; before he could swing the cannon around, Su Hao twisted his waist, spun his body once horizontally, and then brought the axe down heavily on the cannon's side, blasting it away as well.

After destroying both offensive weapons, Su Hao kept moving, dragging his Gravity Rock Axe as he strode forward.

At the same time, he took a large handful of Scarlet Essence Blood from his Storage Bag and, using his blood-control ability, let it merge into his wounds.

After absorbing the energy of the Scarlet Essence Blood, the flesh granules at Su Hao's wounds writhed even more frenziedly.

In a short while, the brain and left half of his body shattered by the blue lasers were restored to their original state, with no trace of injury visible.

"Is that all?"

Su Hao gave a light chuckle, brushed off his chest, sped up, and flew forward, arriving about five meters in front of the intruder's projection.

Seeing this, the intruder's projection lost its earlier composure and loudly said, "Young man, don't be impulsive! In T235 Experimental Base, you can take whatever you want first; I will absolutely not obstruct you."

"Once you've taken everything, the Permit Token will be useless to you, so you might as well give it to me—it won't cost you anything."

"As a reward, I'll also give you an extra bonus—this would be a win-win, a double gain; but if you destroy my projection, you'll lose this benefit!"

However, Su Hao paid no attention to his words.

"Do you really think I'm an idiot? You're just a projection with no storage item at all—what kind of reward could you possibly have, a hammer?"

"Even if you really had some reward, if I beat you to death, it would still be mine."

Immediately, Su Hao used the momentum from his rapid dash to swiftly twist his waist, spinning faster and faster for two rotations.

Then,

He forcefully pushed off the ground with his right foot, his body rotating vertically once, converting horizontal force into vertical force, and he slammed down heavily onto the projection before him.

Boom! Accompanied by a dull thud, the metal sphere at the center of the projection was split in half by Su Hao's axe.

"Kid, I've remembered you—I won't let this go..."

The intruder's projection glared hatefully at Su Hao, then violently trembled twice and vanished.

Only the metal sphere split in half remained, which fell to the ground with a bang,

and between the two halves of the metal sphere, a pool of black liquid flowed out, gathering into a fist-sized black mass that hovered in midair.
