Chapter 153: Chapter 51: Encircling Xu Mo _2
“What a weird movement technique.”
Xu Mo thought silently, unable to discern if it was a movement technique or a superpower.
The two began to collide continuously, with Nicholas striking once and then retreating, his sword technique fast and ruthless.
As they collided, a powerful energy wave formed, affecting nearby buildings and slicing them apart.
Everyone in the surrounding space could feel the intense heat.
Xu Mo felt like he was watching a martial arts movie where masters were dueling.
“Is Nicholas a Genetic Warrior?” someone by the railing asked.
“Very likely,” another replied. “His family controls Genetic Technology, so naturally they have access to high sequence, high-level Genetic Evolution Liquid.”
“This world really is unfair. High-sequence, high-level Genetic Evolution Liquids allow them to evolve while retaining their human form, and possess physical qualities superior to those of humans, yet ordinary gene-modified people are subjected to discrimination.”
“When has the world ever been fair? They call it evolution for them, mutation for the common folk.”
Overhearing the conversation, Xu Mo’s expression shifted subtly.
Controlling Genetic Technology?

Was Nicholas with the company?
“Boom…”
Their attacks grew more and more furious, moving through the air and colliding into a building, causing the top to collapse directly.
The two crashed into the interior of the building, then burst out from above it.
“Interesting.”
A silhouette transmitted his voice from outside where Xu Mo was, floating in the air.
He was wearing armor with energy jets beneath his legs that allowed him to hover.
Weapon systems were installed on the arms and chest area of the armor.
“Boom, boom…” Powerful blue Energy Flames shot from beneath his feet as he soared off towards the battlefield.
Watching his back, Xu Mo thought, this equipment is more like Iron Man.
The armor suit he wore was equipped with a weapons system, rather than swords or sabers.
When he had money, he’d have to get Sister Butterfly a set.
In the outside, real world.
Cool!
But to reach Grade A with real-world weapon equipment, it would probably cost an astronomical sum.
And having money doesn’t necessarily mean it’s available for purchase.
Grade A was considered top-tier combat power in Steel Dome City.
It might cost billions.
Thinking this, Xu Mo could only feel one thing.
Poor!!!
Nanming Huowu and Nicholas were equally matched in combat power, and after fighting for a long time, neither could claim victory.
Many buildings in this area were destroyed by their battle.
Unlucky monsters that came near were sliced apart.
Finally, the two stopped and stood atop a shattered building, facing each other as if in conversation.
More and more people and vehicles began to arrive in the area.
Among them were many from the Extraordinary Academy, heading straight here after arriving in the Ruins World.
They glanced at the halted battle and realized they had missed it.
Then, their gaze shifted upward, searching for something.
Soon, they zeroed in on a building, pointing towards a balcony.
“There.”
People chatting at the railing pointed at themselves.
Were they looking for them?
“Found them.” Another group arrived, with their weapons also pointing towards the café.
The people at the railing looked around in confusion.
So many searching for them?
Xu Mo had yet to realize they were there for him. He finished his coffee, glanced at the paused fight, and stood up.
It was getting late; time to train a bit more before heading back.
Xu Mo walked to the edge of the building, then flipped over the railing and descended.
“???” The bystanders watched in bewildered confusion.
Did he come to the Virtual World just to jump off buildings?
Such a mood setter?
But just then, they saw Xu Mo draw his War Saber and thrust it into the side of the building.
As he cut downwards with the saber, his body followed in a sliding descent.
Xu Mo took in the scenery of the Ruins City, feeling the wind blow by.
The Virtual World allowed for utter freedom.
Exhilarating!
Those below naturally saw Xu Mo as well.
Was he showing off for their arrival?
Did he think he looked cool?
Take him down!
Landing on the ground, Xu Mo felt refreshed all over.
As he turned around and was about to put away his War Saber, he saw a crowd armed with weapons rushing towards him.
Fierce momentum.
Xu Mo: “???”
Were they here for him?
In the Virtual World, he hadn’t offended anyone, had he?
Except for killing Jiang Tong.
“We want him alive,” someone shouted.
If they killed Xu Mo, he would disappear and they wouldn’t see his face.
This mysterious S-ranked newcomer, they were keen to see how Noah Academy planned to hide him.
“They want me alive?”
Xu Mo frowned. Were they planning to torture him?
What had he done to deserve this!
I won’t hold back then.
Xu Mo’s body sprinted forward, charging into a group of people.
The weapons of his opponents also slashed towards him, to test just how strong this S-class combat power really was.
Several attacks fell at the same time, but they didn’t even touch Xu Mo’s shadow.
“Puchi…”
Streaks of blood flew out, and instantly several people were taken down.
The others were stunned for a moment.
“Be careful, he might have B-level minus combat power, fight with coordination,” someone shouted, taking out their weapon and opening fire.
“Kill.”
The rest continued to charge forward.
Xu Mo moved forward, his saber’s light slashing continuously.
Soon, there was no one left in front of him.
The first batch of people was annihilated.
But at that moment, many people surrounded him from all sides, and it was clear they were not from the same team, they came from different places.
Different academies.
People from the World College also arrived, as Lin Jue and his group charged over and finally reached the area, seeing Xu Mo.
They had him cornered!
“Don’t let him get away,” people around shouted.
“???”
Xu Mo now had many question marks floating in his head.
Not just him, but also the people around him showed a hint of surprise.
What’s going on?
Have Nanming Huowu and Nicholas stopped looking?
What’s the background of the guy who’s surrounded?
So many people have come for him.
The live broadcaster also paused, then turned to look in Xu Mo’s direction.
What’s the situation?
“Make way.”
A chilly voice rang out, as people from World College stepped forward.
The speaker was a woman clad in battle armor which did nothing to hide the curves of her body, and she didn’t wear a helmet.
World College’s Olivia.
Lin Jue was at the front, having taken off his helmet.
“Lin Jue,” Xu Mo recognized him.
He finally understood what was happening, the people surrounding him were from various academies.
He had been discovered.
Live broadcast!
The journalist also recognized Lin Jue and Olivia, both celebrities from World College.
So, the person who is surrounded by everyone is?
“I lost to you in the last mecha battle and would like to spar with you again,” Lin Jue said, taking out his weapon.
A long spear.
“Noah Academy’s S-class freshman who defeated Lin Jue,” the journalist’s eyes lit up after hearing Lin Jue’s words.
Big news.
Discovering his identity.
“Not interested,” Xu Mo said, turning to leave.
Killing monsters has points.
Doesn’t want to fight.
Moreover, with journalists here, he didn’t want to reveal too much.
Lin Jue was surprised to see Xu Mo turn to leave.
This guy, why is he different from others?
“Don’t interfere,” Lin Jue said to the people beside him, and then he dashed directly towards Xu Mo, saying, “Be careful.”
Xu Mo frowned, just as he turned around, he saw a long spear attacking at a terrifying speed.
The long spear bore energy light, harboring an extremely overbearing power.
Xu Mo turned around, his war saber blocking in front of him.
The long spear struck the war saber.
“Bang!”
An immensely overbearing power forced Xu Mo’s body to slide backward, his feet scraping against the ground with a hissing sound.
He stomped down hard to steady himself.
“Such tyrannical power,” said Xu Mo, looking at Lin Jue.
“C-class?” Lin Jue looked at Xu Mo with some surprise; he thought Xu Mo was like him, having B-level minus combat power.
But how could a C-class plunder so many points?
The others had similar thoughts.
This S-class freshman from Noah Academy doesn’t seem to pull his weight in combat.
He must have cheated before.
Xu Mo glanced at Lin Jue, while the journalist spoke eloquently about them.
He turned and ran directly away.
Want to run?
“Surround him.”
“Don’t let him escape,” a group of people closed in on Xu Mo at the same time.
Outside, students from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges also saw this scene on the live broadcast.
The people from World College showed a proud look, it seems, the S-class freshman from Noah Academy wasn’t all that, no wonder he was always elusive.
People from Noah Academy, on the other hand, were very angry.
Brother S was surrounded.
“Shameless.” Sun Xiaoxiao stamped her foot in anger, so many people bullying Brother Xu Mo.
She wished she could pilot her mecha to go in.
Da-da-da!
