You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 406 Chi Ping vs. Teng Ku
The headless mummy was staggering, but the maid in the hot spring remained calm.

“A junior like you—” Teng Ku’s voice echoed around Chi Ping: “I’ve also seen that once promoted to S-rank, they can’t wait to show their strength to the outside world.

"Forget it, according to the S-level test, you have passed, so hurry up and leave."

There was some displeasure in his voice, and he was obviously quite concerned about Chi Ping's sudden attack.

"Do you usually use zombies to meet people?" Chi Ping asked. Under [Insight], the wind passed through the rugged rockery, the wrinkled lake surface, and the treetops, brushing against the leaf veins. Everything nearby was brought into his mind, depicting a three-dimensional image.

The human figures behind the surrounding grass, trees and rocks are clearly visible under [Insight].

"Junior, you are a bit rude."

"Really?" Chi Ping spoke again, and he had already appeared behind the zombie.

[Space Traveler] combined with [Insight] is also an extremely good ability.

Before the corpse controlled by the withered vine could react, it was instantly shattered by another punch. But this was just the beginning. Within just a minute or two, seven or eight corpses in the entire courtyard were crushed one by one by Chi Ping!

"What on earth are you going to do!"

Teng Ku was furious. The mummies Chi Ping had slain weren't just his usual spokesmen. Rather, they were the combat power he had harnessed through his special hazards. They couldn't even survive a single encounter before Chi Ping was annihilated.

Ikehira walked to a spot under the shade of a tree and said with a smile, "I've always heard how amazing S-rank adults are. Now that I finally get to meet one, I have to take a closer look. I hope Mr. Fuji won't reject me."

Regardless of whether Teng Ku stopped the Fire Project or not, Chi Ping had no intention of letting him survive.

We cannot show leniency to the enemy just because he is strong; nor can we forgive his previous mistakes just because he stops making mistakes.

"Okay, okay, the younger generation nowadays is becoming more and more arrogant!" Teng Ku's voice became much sharper, and suddenly there was an extra person above the sky of the courtyard.

He was a man wearing gilded chain mail and a battle-stealing helmet on his face, which blocked most of his features. Only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen.

He held two eight-edged hammers, each with a diameter of more than one meter and covered in flames and frost.

This guy's attire clearly doesn't resemble that of a modern person.

Just when Chi Ping was surprised, [Ruin Traveler] was triggered.

[You are now in contact with the "Wu Dang Civilization". You have discovered the remains of the Overlord, the most powerful warrior in the "Wu Dang Civilization".]

Just like the Vistana civilization that Chi Ping had come into contact with before, the armored man in front of him was an S-class warrior from the Wudang civilization. However, only a corpse was left of him now, which was collected by Teng Ku and made into a zombie.

Just like the Space Apocalypse Relic that Chi Ping encountered in the Vistana civilization, the S-class in Vistana was called "Apocalypse" while the S-class in the Wudang civilization was called "Overlord".

The overlord in the sky swung his giant hammer of ice and fire and smashed it down on Chi Ping's head!
"Is this how you can be so confident?" Chi Ping stood on the ground, motionless, and took the blow head-on.

After the Overlord struck the target with this hammer, he did not stop, but instead his hands danced out afterimages.

Suddenly, it felt like countless giant hammers were smashing down on Chi Ping simultaneously. The speed of the hammers had already exceeded the speed of sound, and if you focused closely, you could see tiny sound barriers at the ends of the hammers.

[Infinite Heart] can be immune to most physical attacks. With such a physique——

"You only have one S-rank zombie?" Chi Ping reached out and stopped the hammer from striking down. "If there's only one, then it's really not impressive."

Just as Chi Ping finished speaking, he felt a sharp object pressing against his lower back. He turned around and saw a thin person, her entire body wrapped tightly, with only a pair of eyes visible.

Judging from the outline of her body, she should be considered a female.

[You are now in contact with the "Dark Moon Civilization". You have discovered the remains of Shadow Dancer, the most powerful warrior in the "Dark Moon Civilization".]

The second S-level corpse was still a zombie made of withered vines.

But the dagger in the shadow dancer's hand could no longer pierce his skin after piercing Chi Ping's clothes.

Chi Ping flipped his hands, holding the Shadow Dancer's dagger in one hand and the Overlord's giant hammer in the other.

Then--

With tremendous force, he slammed the two of them towards the middle!
Although the two dodged and twisted their bodies to avoid Chi Ping's collision, it was completely useless. The space around them was distorted. No matter which direction they dodged, they would eventually collide!

------

There is an artificial earth hill in the landscape courtyard, which is the commanding height of the entire courtyard.

Zhang Xueru appeared here after leaving the two S-class masters. A maid had already lit incense and brewed tea.

According to the procedure, Zhang Xueru will have to wait until Mr. Teng's examination is over before taking the newly promoted S-level to visit each S-level one by one.

The maids in this courtyard were all well-trained, elegant, and pleasing women, unlike his Consulate, where the clerks all had sullen faces and the waiters all wore tacky uniforms that were dull and boring.

Drinking tea while waiting.

Zhang Xueru glanced at the time and found that only fifteen minutes had passed.

According to the process, the old S-class will test the new S-class in three levels. The first is to confirm that the opponent truly possesses S-class strength. This is the easiest, as it can be seen from the first move. Usually, at this point, the test is over.

Of course, if the veteran S-class is quite optimistic about the new S-class, they will proceed to the next step of the test.

Then, they came to the second level of the test, where they would fight each other for five minutes. At this time, the newly promoted S-class would be at a disadvantage against the veteran S-class, and the veteran S-class would stop fighting after a while.

But at this stage, some newly promoted S-class would refuse to concede defeat. The veteran S-class would then allow them to fight one more time. This fight would last about twenty minutes, at which point the newly promoted S-class would be completely defeated.

As for the new S-class who defeated the veteran S-class, he hadn't heard from Lord Siwon yet.

According to the current schedule, the second game is almost over. Will there be a third game?
The new tea in the mountain and water courtyard tasted a bit astringent. Zhang Xueru took two sips and was about to put down the teacup when he heard footsteps.

It should be the waiter who came to report the situation. It seems that the examination should be over.

When he looked up, he saw a shocking scene:
Chi Ping slowly walked towards him, dragging a dried corpse with one hand. As the corpse lost water, the armor and clothes he was wearing suddenly became much larger.

Chi Ping dragged it, making a clattering sound.

"What are you doing—" Zhang Xueru's eyelids twitched, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He didn't recognize the mummy in Chi Ping's hands, but he had seen the clothes on the mummy before.

These two mummies are Mr. Teng’s signature!
Mr. Teng often boasted that owning these two mummies was like having two S-level fighters!

He is a strong contender for the strongest S-rank. If it weren't for the existence of Lord Siwon—

And now, why is he being dragged away by the executioner?
"Where are the others?" Chi Ping asked.

"Ah?" Zhang Xueru didn't react.

Chi Ping asked again, "Where is that Teng Ku?"

"No, I don't know." Zhang Xueru stammered.

Teng Ku has always been the best at hiding himself. Generally speaking, he will never show up if the problem can be solved with a substitute.

"Okay, then I'll take these two pieces of junk apart."

"That would completely offend Mr. Teng, Mr. Executioner, so please reconsider." Zhang Xueru asked, "Why would you want to make an enemy of an S-rank?"

Chi Ping smiled without saying a word, high-frequency vibrations attached to his fist. This punch was about to crush the two mummies.

But the next second, Zhang Xueru's hand slapped Chi Ping's vest without him noticing.

It was a dry hand.

Wherever it passed, plants quickly withered and died, and clothes quickly rotted and broke, until it pressed against Chi Ping's skin!

This is Tengku's ability: withering.
