You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Life and death are often separated by only a moment.

Just as Chen Yuan's thumb exerted force and was about to press the red button flat, time seemed to slow down immensely in Lin Chen's eyes.

He could clearly see every vein bulging on Chen Yuan's face, see the faint light reflected in the air from the drop of sweat that fell from the tip of his nose, and even feel the slight resistance generated when the spring inside the detonator was compressed.

0.1 second.

This is the limit of human neural response time, and also the last window for a bomb to detonate.

At this critical moment, Lin Chen made a move.

[God-level Parkour]! Explosion!

Lin Chen's leg muscles swelled up instantly, and the immense force caused the steel pedals on the edge of the control panel to deform severely.

His body defied the laws of inertia, tilting forward at an extremely strange angle, his entire body turning into a blurry afterimage, instantly closing in on Chen Yuan.

too fast!

The image of Lin Chen standing just a step away was still lingering on Chen Yuan's retina!

At the same time, [God-level Magic Hand Speed] is fully activated!

Lin Chen's right hand reached out.

That could no longer be called a hand. At extremely high speed, his right hand completely disappeared into the air, leaving only a piercing whistling sound.

Zero-delay synchronization between brain and hand nerves!

Hand speed that pushes the limits of human physiology!

"Whoosh!"

Chen Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, followed by a slight friction sensation in the palm of his right hand.

His thumb, which was already halfway down the press, suddenly missed!

The black detonator that he had been holding tightly in his hand had vanished into thin air!

"What?!"

Chen Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and his brain briefly went blank.

He stared blankly at his empty right hand, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Was that magic?

Or is it a hallucination?!

However, Lin Chen did not give him any time to think.

The moment Lin Chen seized the detonator, his movements didn't falter. He grabbed Chen Yuan's crisp suit collar and yanked him down forcefully, while simultaneously thrusting his right knee like a heavy battering ram into Chen Yuan's abdomen with overwhelming power!

"Bang!!!"

A chilling thud exploded on the control panel.

The ferocious power of the [Grandmaster-level Fighting Technique] was unleashed without reservation onto Chen Yuan's frail body, which lacked any training.

"puff--!"

Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly bulged out, and he spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

He felt as if his internal organs had been smashed head-on by a high-speed train, and the intense pain instantly severed his nerves' sense of pain.

His body was sent flying like a tattered sack by the knee strike.

After tracing a parabola several meters long in mid-air, Chen Yuan crashed heavily onto the concrete ground at the edge of the reservoir.

"Clatter."

Chen Yuan rolled around on the ground like a dead dog, his limbs twisting unnaturally. Apart from blood and foam still gushing from his mouth, he had completely lost the ability to move.

On the control panel, Lin Chen slowly straightened up.

He didn't even dodge a breath, as if he had just casually swatted a pesky fly after completing that series of actions that exceeded human limits.

He looked down at the black detonator in his hand.

His god-like magic speed not only allowed him to seize the deadly device in a fraction of a second, but also, in the instant he pulled it away, his fingers pried open the battery compartment on the back of the detonator and removed the two dry batteries inside.

Lin Chen fiddled with the two batteries in his hand, then casually tossed them into the bottomless reservoir below.

"thump."

The faint sound of water splashing was remarkably clear in this vast underground space.

Lin Chen turned his head and looked down at Chen Yuan, who was lying on the ground like a rag doll in the distance, a cold and chilling smile curving his lips.

"Professor Chen, your typing speed is too slow."

A seemingly casual remark, yet it was like the sharpest knife, utterly shattering Chen Yuan's last shred of dignity.

Chen Yuan lay on the cold ground, his whole body wracked with pain, but he stared intently at the young man on the control panel who seemed like an invincible demon.

He lost.

We lost completely and utterly.

His pride and joy were crushed by his intelligence, his perfect mental defenses were broken, and even his final desperate attempt to take someone down with him turned into a huge joke under the opponent's incredible hand speed!

"You devil...you're a devil..."

A hoarse, whistling sound came from Chen Yuan's throat, and his eyes finally revealed endless fear and despair.

Just then, a series of rapid footsteps and the bright beam of tactical flashlights came from the direction of the reservoir entrance.

"Don't move! Police!"

"Put down your weapons and put your hands behind your head!"

Su Qingge and Li Mingyu, along with dozens of fully armed special police officers, finally followed the trail left by Lin Chen and rushed into the giant reservoir, panting heavily.

When they saw what was before them, everyone gasped and froze on the spot.
