Around noon, Ter rushed to Hermean Alliance. In a tavern not far from the opposite of Hermean Alliance's main gate, there happened to be a window looking out at the gate.

A couple was enjoying their lunch there. He took large strides and marched into the tavern, making a beeline for the couple. "This seat is mine now."

Upon seeing the giant, whose head was nearly touching the ceiling, the couple left hurriedly. 

"Waiter, give me three plates of steaks. Make it medium rare with some blood gravy." He knew that with his size, there was no way he could sit on the chairs here. With his legs crossed, he sat on the ground. Staring at the leftover roasted meat on the table that the couple had left behind, he grabbed it with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

The steaks were served by the waiter in no time at all. He chewed the food with a lot of effort; his gaze never once left Hermean Alliance's main entrance.

After sending Larry away, Gu Ding and Liliath continued searching for a place to have lunch.

"I heard that that tavern's lamb chop is pretty good. Let's try it out." Liliath pointed at a small tavern in front of Hermean Alliance.

"Okay!" Gu Ding was just like Liliath, both of them were carnivores. Their taste in food did not differ much. They both had physiques that made many green with envy—they would not grow fat no matter how they ate. 

The moment they pushed open the door to the tavern, Gu Ding saw the giant-sized Ter sitting beside the window.

Ter had only heard the door opening when he gave a casual glance and spotted Gu Ding.

When they saw each other, both of them were stunned.

Ter lowered his head to look at his wrist.w.a.tch. He brought up Gu Ding and Liliath's bounty before confirming that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. 

Meanwhile, Liliath, who was standing beside Gu Ding, pointed at Ter and asked Gu Ding, "That giant is the guy who's here to kill us. Ter, right?"

"That's right. He's Ter!" Naturally, Gu Ding, who had just read Ter's profile earlier, could remember him clearly. Whether it was his extremely noticeable body size or that sinister-looking face, it was enough for him to be imprinted in anyone's mind. 

Ter stood up, then stuffed the last piece of steak into his mouth, staring fixedly at Gu Ding while chewing. 

After swallowing the steak, he gave Gu Ding a malevolent smile. "Kid, are you brave enough to take it outside?"

As he said that, he charged outside the door.

"Hey, you've not paid yet, right?" Gu Ding shouted behind him.

"I never pay for my meals." Ter glared savagely at the waiter as he said that.

"Is that so? You have quite a lot of bad habits," Liliath mocked.

"Little brat, do you have a death wish?" Ter's threatening eyes darted her way. 

"I happened to purchase three thousand armor-piercing sh.e.l.ls this morning. Are you sure you want to get a taste of a few of them?" A hint of killing intent flashed across Liliath's eyes. The Combat Armor in her hands had changed into a cannon barrel, which she lifted onto her right shoulder. Her other hand was holding onto a spiral sh.e.l.l that was nearly twenty centimeters in length. 


This was an armor-piercing sh.e.l.l. Even a mecha constructed with alloy would be pierced instantly, much less a human who was only a Rank 6 Gene Body. 

A gunner's forcefulness was judged based on both the handling of techniques as well as the sh.e.l.l's grades. There was not much to do with the gunner's gene level. As long as one could bear the recoil from the firearm, then there was nothing for them to worry about. Even if one was only a Rank 1 Gene Body gunner, as long as one employed a powerful enough weapon and managed to hit a high-ranked gene body martial arts pract.i.tioner, it would be enough to injure them. Of course, this was only in theory. 

In reality, gene body level restricted a human's dynamic vision. A Rank 1 Gene Body's vision could not catch the movement of martial arts pract.i.tioners with Rank 3 Gene Body or higher. Although Liliath was a Rank 2 Gene Body, with the influence of her Pupillary Abilities, she was able to catch a Rank 6 Gene Body's movements. However, this was the highest she could go. This time, she had purchased enough armor-piercing sh.e.l.ls to cause harm to a Rank 8 Gene Body. This was also in case they encounter powerhouses similar to Cooper again. If Gu Ding did not stop her, she would not mind equipping the armor-piercing sh.e.l.ls she had just bought to teach the other party a lesson. 

Seeing that Liliath had pulled out the armor-piercing sh.e.l.ls, he was first stunned, then immediately followed this up with fits of laughter. "With your vision, do you think you can catch my movements?"

"Why don't you try and find out!" Liliath inserted the armor-piercing sh.e.l.l, heaved up the cannon barrel, and prepared to fire. However, she was stopped by Gu Ding.

"Lili, let me test out my current ability first." 

Only then did Liliath lower it slowly. Nodding at Gu Ding, she said, "Teach him a lesson!"

After summoning his Combat Armor, Gu Ding also activated Rage Attack Level 2. With the Ultimate Arts Level 6 Silent Step, his figure moved like the ghost, appearing behind Ter in the blink of an eye. 

Ter's exclaimed to himself, 'That's really fast.'

The other party's speed had exceeded his. This also implied that his attack prowess would not be too far off either. He immediately activated his Defense Level 2, intending to turn around to face Gu Ding. 

Nevertheless, he did not expect Gu Ding's figure to vanish once again before appearing at Ter's side. He struck at him with a Steel Fist, but it was as if he was. .h.i.tting an iron board. 

With a 100 points Cell Index, after a two-fold increase from Combat Armor, three-fold increase from Rage Level 2, and a five-fold increase from Ultimate Arts Level 6, Gu Ding's attack was comparable to a martial arts pract.i.tioner with three thousand points Cell Index. However, it was still as if he had just struck an iron board.

Although Ter, who had taken the hit, was not injured, he was frightened inside. He could clearly feel the energy released from Gu Ding's punch earlier, and it was already comparable to the energy of a Rank 6 Gene Body martial arts pract.i.tioner. Rank 6 Gene Body's Interstellar Pirates would typically have a bounty of hundreds of millions Star Credits.

A Rank 6 Gene Body at fifteen years old? Ter expressed his disbelief. Unless one's parents' gene levels were higher than Rank 10, it was impossible for anyone to achieve Rank 6 Gene Body at fifteen years old. He speculated that Gu Ding might be using certain means to increase his attack prowess.

Even though he had failed in the first attack, Gu Ding did not give up. No matter how solid a fort is, there would always be a weak point. As long as he could find that flaw, he could tear the other party's defense apart like splitting a bamboo. The encounter with those gigantic monsters earlier in Coela had widened Gu Ding's combat knowledge. If one could not destroy the opponent with brute force alone, then search for the other party's weakness and target it.

His attack poured down like a furious storm and torrential rain; he was not the slightest bit worried that such a battle would burden his body. Ever since his regenerative ability had evolved into High-Speed Regeneration, he could maintain Rage Attack Level 2 state for two hours. On top of that, employing Ultimate Arts Level 6 would only burden his body slightly. Now, his body could also maintain Ultimate Arts Level 7 for half an hour. However, he had no plans to activate Ultimate Arts Level 7 so early. After launching a few attacks to test the waters, judging from the other party's defense, even if he employed Ultimate Arts Level 7, it would not do much harm. Thus, he would rather spend some time figuring out the other party's weaknesses. 

Under Gu Ding's strange body techniques and fierce attacking force, Ter could only remain in a defensive stance. Gu Ding could surpa.s.s him in everything. He knew that nothing good would come out of him initiating an attack, thus he chose to defend. His physical strength itself was different from ordinary people. With the help of Defense Level 2, basically anyone with a Cell Index of fewer than ten thousand points could hardly cause him any harm. Even so, he must admit that although Gu Ding's attacks caused him no harm, it was still very painful when they struck his body. Having said that, now he could only endure it as he waited for the other party's increased attack prowess to pa.s.s. That would be his time to counterattack.

"This fellow's skin is no ordinary thick…" Gu Ding found it rather th.o.r.n.y too. In less than two minutes, he had attacked the fellow at least two hundred times, yet the other party seemed to be unscathed. 

"You really need to spend some time learning about the human body." Neptune sighed indistinctly. Then, Gu Ding noticed that Ter's body a.n.a.lysis chart had emerged in his mind. On the a.n.a.lysis chart, more than twenty flaws and three fatal points were depicted.
