Chapter 225: 190_1

After replanning the route on the mobile map, Zheng Yichen still felt overwhelmed. He had become a crime suspect, and the enemy would most likely be on guard against him. Even if he got close to the target point, he couldn’t just sneak around and cause trouble.

"Getting supplies isn’t a problem, but there will be plenty of issues along the way."

He dispersed the water orb in his hand. He used to think that the ability to manipulate elements didn’t have much of an impact on him, as long as he focused on close combat. Now, he retracted his previous disrespectful thoughts, realizing the importance of elemental manipulation abilities.

At least in terms of supplies, it could reduce the requirements. With the ability to control water, as long as there were water-related forces in the environment, he could directly generate water for use.

Leaving the abandoned cottage in the wilds, he hurried on his way under the cover of night, aiming to get close to the target point and gather some intelligence first.

In a research institute, several workers dressed in uniforms were watching a video record during their break.

"A Proxy Agent from Dusk has been sent over, are there any records related to him?"

"Yes, and it’s the latest update," another Boundary Breaker nodded, pulling up the information on Zheng Yichen. This data was synchronized and brought to this world by a comrade who arrived half a month ago.

They were lucky to have it; had they been later, they wouldn’t have been able to obtain any information about Zheng Yichen. Synchronizing information from the Great World to here wasn’t easy; mainly, not passing through peculiar phenomenon to this world, using methods outside of frequent mystical connections, would get noticed by Dusk. Therefore, such synchronization had a cycle.

They synchronized once every cycle, and they had just caught this cycle.

"A Proxy Agent skilled in using blood? It won’t be easy for the other side to perform in this world." Looking at the record of Zheng Yichen, the Boundary Breakers felt assured.

This world boasted a very high level of technology, and they had changed their combat plans immediately after arriving and witnessing this world’s standards. While infiltrating the upper echelons of this world, they also contacted their headquarters to bring what they needed in the next synchronization cycle.

Boundary Breakers were not invincible. There were numerous cases where they caused chaos in a world and were then overturned by the natives – case studies often used in their training exercises. Their aim was simply to disrupt the basic structure of the world and then let the Great World absorb it.

There was no need for any apocalyptic schemes or to create additional conflicts with the natives of this world. Assimilating and progressing together was also an excellent approach.

Their method proved to be very stable, and with their current influence, they could mobilize a fair amount of official power to handle various matters.

The Dusk Cathedral had been equipped with extremely advanced surveillance devices, which could accurately record every individual entering or leaving the cathedral.

Zheng Yichen only had records of leaving, with none showing entry, so he was naturally flagged and triggered their alarm.

This wasn’t the first or second time this had happened. Some Dusk hunters had appeared before, but some of those hunters didn’t even make it out of the city before being captured.

Now some Dusk hunters were still being detained.

However, this Proxy Agent had run outside the city and eluded the tracking, using quite a few special powers like lightning and wind along the way, which was also recorded in the intelligence. In this world with its high energy levels, it was normal for Zheng Yichen’s use of special powers to have a strong performance.

This world possessed powerful Special Ability Users, whom the Boundary Breakers had to avoid confronting. Not all Boundary Breakers who land in a world are max level...

"Too bad our mobilized force is limited," a Boundary Breaker said somewhat regretfully. They could mobilize some forces against Zheng Yichen but couldn’t take it any further, mainly because going too far would invite additional investigations.

They had infiltrated this world, becoming powerful voices within it, but they didn’t have the extent of control to cover the sky with one hand. An investigation would certainly reveal the lack of a criminal record for Zheng Yichen, as well as past acts they had committed.

It might even draw them into the fray.

However, if Zheng Yichen committed a crime on his own, it would be a different story. The intelligence contained clear records that Zheng Yichen had practiced a martial arts called ’Blood Asura,’ which allowed training with blood.

Beyond that, he could absorb a vast amount of blood to enhance his own strength. At his strongest, he could confront a Supreme Demon head-on. Though he didn’t win in the end, he successfully severed an arm of the Supreme Demon and inflicted severe injuries.

And that Supreme Demon, during internal strife, also used the same method, draining a massive amount of blood from living beings to forcefully boost its condition, directly taking away other Supreme Demons who were besieging it.

This was very important. As long as Zheng Yichen had the opportunity and conditions, he could perform a Blood Sacrifice on a large number of Holy Spirits to elevate his combat power to the pinnacle of this world... However, that was just one type of martial arts.

"In this world, martial arts aren’t exactly the rage; what we need to worry about is the display of special abilities," a Boundary Breaker said with a laugh.

They had been in this world for several years, and their understanding of it was bound to be more extensive than Zheng Yichen’s. Martial arts could be used in this world, but there was a significant difference in energy levels and strength tiers. The others were martial artists, not immortality cultivators!

Even though Inner Strength could also be amplified by the energy level, Inner Strength is an internal force, meant for self-consumption, not like magic or spells which can interact with the environment.

Martial arts are martial arts, spells are spells; there’s basically no connection between the two. Even if martial arts were enhanced, they wouldn’t amplify the power of spells. Even if Zheng Yichen used a multitude of Blood Sacrifices to boost his condition, temporarily elevating his Inner Strength to a very high degree, without the support of a sufficiently strong body, his strength output would still be affected.

Moreover, according to the intelligence, Zheng Yichen could not have been learning the Blood Asura martial arts for more than three months. How much could he possibly refine such martial arts in that time?

"If he has learnt such martial arts, we just need to drive him into a corner. Then this Proxy Agent will surely find a way to increase his own strength to solve the problem..."

The reason why the Evil Path is the Evil Path, is once it’s been used, experiencing its unique convenience and power, it’s hard to escape the temptation. It’s like cross-dressing: try it once, and there will be countless times afterward.

"In fact, we don’t even need to make any arrangements right now, just wait for him to come over."

The few Boundary Breakers were in good spirits. Those Boundary Breakers who gathered this intelligence felt rather helpless dealing with Zheng Yichen, faced with a group of god-demons that sabotage their teammates, as well as Zheng Yichen’s blood martial arts which utilized blood. He turned the tables and exploited the Demon Flower’s biological traits to kill it.

Zheng Yichen was highly resilient against mutations, but this piece of information was useless to them since they did not plan to address Zheng Yichen from this angle.

The high-end combatants of this world were not like those supreme demons that would hold them back; those gathered here all had a common objective.

A plan named Eye of Time and Space...

They could afford to wait passively; as long as Zheng Yichen couldn’t break in, in his haste, he would seek to enhance his strength. By then, whether he was innocent or not, his intrusion would make him a bona fide terrorist, not to mention the slaughtering of creatures in the process of trying to boost his strength.

Eventually, they wouldn’t need to target Zheng Yichen deliberately as the local authorities would treat him as a significant threat and eliminate him.

Nobody mandated that Proxy Agents or Dusk Hunters would necessarily be welcomed by the local forces or that Boundary Breakers would surely be rejected. They were all humans, with two eyes and two hands. As long as no malice was shown, who would take the initiative to target them?

Right now, they were genuinely aligned with the interests of the locals.

For now, after their failure to capture Zheng Yichen when he left Dusk Cathedral, all they could do was wait for him to arrive, flush him out, and let the local authorities take notice. They would just sit back and enjoy the show, and Zheng Yichen’s tag as a crime suspect was an added inconvenience for him.

Proxy Agents tend to make rash decisions when they’re cornered.

Under the wilderness sky, riding his motorbike, Zheng Yichen looked at the scenery passing by. In the wild, he occasionally spotted running small animals, saw plowing machines tilling the fields as he passed by farmland, and his expression turned to one of regret as he went through the cities.

Frankly, after coming to such a world, he really wanted to travel around and experience the conveniences of a high-tech era while figuring out a way to make some money and indulge in shopping.

Whether it was the high-tech invisible eyewear used by the general populace or something else, having come all this way, it would be such a shame not to take some back with him.

However, now, with a crime suspect’s identity hanging over his head, he found it difficult to move around in cities.

He was inclined to clear his name, but... clearly, this matter was tied to some sort of insider scheme. To take any action, he first needed to figure out what the Boundary Breaking Faction was up to in this world.

"With no suitable transportation and such an identity, just reaching the target would be a difficult task, wouldn’t it?" Zheng Yichen muttered as he looked at the ocean before him, feeling the two-month deadline pressing on him. Although he could still use his offline phone map to navigate, the idea of crossing the ocean still made him nervous—he was riding a motorcycle, not a plane!

In normal circumstances, he would’ve likely already made some money, bought a plane ticket, shipped his motorcycle over, and commenced his official mission on another continent.

"Don’t let me catch you—" Taking a deep breath and giving his motorcycle one last check of its contents, Zheng Yichen twisted the throttle and charged into the ocean.
