The black market was once the largest slum in this underground city. People from the bottom level of society gathered here, and the number of crimes gradually increased. As time passed, this place became the current black market, a paradise for committing crimes.
Xu Mo walked closer. There were several old and dilapidated buildings, crowded pathways, dense crowds, and rubbish strewn all over the ground. The environment was extremely nasty.
The thug had mingled in with the crowd, but Xu Mo’s perception had always been locked on him. He followed the thug and continued walking forward.
“Little handsome bro, do you wanna play?” A sexy woman wearing revealing clothes was smoking, puffing out cigarette smoke at Xu Mo who was passing by. Xu Mo ignored her and walked away, but the other party stretched out her hand to grab him, wanting to pull him into a tiny house at the side. However, Xu Mo didn’t move at all.
He glanced at this woman who had a thick layer of powdered foundation on her face and asked, “Old aunty, are you giving me money?”
“You…” The woman’s expression changed. Xu Mo directly shook her hand off and continued forward. On his way, he encountered quite a few such situations.
“Someone is following me.”
Xu Mo soon discovered that someone was watching him. In fact, there were two people. They had been following him the moment he entered the black market. Right now, he could be sure that they were targeting him.
“30 meters.” Xu Mo gauged the distance.
“He’s a stranger.” One of them spoke in a low voice.
“He’s so young, so the organs in his body are definitely not bad. We should be able to sell them for a good price,” replied the second person. The second person already held a dagger in his hands. He quickened his steps and moved closer to Xu Mo. When the two of them were ten meters away, they quickly put on masks.
“Five meters!”
Xu Mo gauged the distance. His perception spread outward, and he knew every detail of the surroundings like the back of his hands.
The two of them continued picking up speed and had taken out their daggers. At the next moment, Xu Mo also increased his speed and cut a sharp turn into an alley on the left.
The two of them clearly knew that they had been discovered. Hence, they started running after Xu Mo.
After Xu Mo entered the alley, there was another pathway in the middle that branched out toward the right. After he turned right, he stopped and turned around. This passageway could only accommodate a single person.
The first stalker emerged and saw Xu Mo standing before him. However, before he could react, Xu Mo’s left hand directly pushed the stalker’s head into the wall, and his right hand grabbed the stalker’s palm that held the dagger. He then sliced it toward the stalker’s throat. His powerful strength caused the stalker to not even have any strength to resist. In the end, his throat was stabbed through by the dagger in his hand.
His eyes underneath the mask were extremely round. It was like he was confused about how he died.
At this moment, the second stalker behind halted his steps. Everything happened in an instant and he naturally knew that he had encountered someone hard to deal with. Hence, he decisively turned and fled.
Xu Mo pulled the dagger out from the first stalker’s throat. After that, he threw it at the back of the fleeing figure.
Puchi~
The dagger pierced through the neck of the fleeing figure with flawless precision, causing the fleeing figure to lose balance and fall as well.
Xu Mo squatted down and took off their masks before placing one of them on his face. He then found a few money notes from their bodies and placed them in his pockets before walking out of this alley.
Right now, he had already lost his target. There was a limit to his perception range. With this delay, the thug he was following had left his perception range.
However, he didn’t leave. Instead, he hastened his speed and continued walking forward. The two dead thugs from earlier allowed him to have an initial understanding of his strength. The powerful calculation ability of his brain made him able to clearly plan out his actions and actualize them with his body, which meant that his body’s coordination was very strong. In fact, even though he had never learned how to throw weapons before, the dagger that flew out was extremely accurate. This enabled him to have a clearer understanding of the changes his current body was going through.
As Xu Mo walked, he memorized the terrain of the black market and also got himself familiar with the areas he walked past. It was always good to be prepared.
“Do you need a genetic evolution solution?” A middle-aged man walked beside him and asked in a low voice.
“Genetic evolution solution?” This was the first time Xu Mo heard this term. This world actually had the existence of genetic evolution solutions?
However, he didn’t pause and continued walking forward, bypassing the fellow. Peddling genetic evolution solutions in the black market? This was undoubtedly the same as those scammers peddling martial arts manuals on the streets back in his previous world, right?
As Xu Mo entered the core region of the black market, he discovered that many people were heading in a certain direction. Hence, he decided to also follow them. After that, he saw a metal gate. He looked over and saw a burly dude standing on guard outside, being well-equipped with weapons.
The loud noises from within entered Xu Mo’s ears. There were noises from the crowd as well as the sound of heavy metal music.

“Gambling den?” Xu Mo observed the situation for a moment before deciding to enter. It was extremely packed outside the gate with people jostling one another. Xu Mo followed the flow and finally squeezed his way in. Soon after, the cacophony of noises drilled into his ears.
The space within was extremely huge with the lights above alternating between bright and dim. There were five levels here that were fully packed with crowds, and the people gathered before different gambling tables.
Xu Mo slowly wandered through the gambling den, perceiving everything here. There were many surveillance cameras up above and also guards patrolling the area. All the important places here were guarded.
The noises, the cursing, the heavy metal music—they all mixed together and made Xu Mo’s brain feel somewhat uncomfortable. He didn’t like such a scene, but even so, he continued to release his perception.
“Over there.” Xu Mo found the person he was looking for. It was the thug that he had lost earlier.
After locking in his target, Xu Mo slowly approached the thug. That person was betting as he stood before a gambling table. After that, he continued into the depths of the casino. Xu Mo was mixed in the crowd and was completely inconspicuous.
When Xu Mo passed by the gambling tables, he tested out his ‘abilities’. He could directly see through the back of poker cards. However, on the other gambling tables, the material used to make the dice cups were different, and his vision had no way to penetrate some of the dice cups.
“That is?” As he continued heading deeper, Xu Mo discovered an area surrounded by a densely packed crowd. There, heavy metal music blared and the sweeping lights above pulsed in rhythm. The dynamic sensation in the atmosphere was to an extreme and far surpassed the liveliness of the gambling tables.
Xu Mo sensed that the area surrounded by the crowd was actually a fighting arena. He saw the thug entering a passageway at the side, but he had no idea where the passage led to.
Xu Mo then squeezed his way toward the crowd. If he kept using his mental energy, he discovered that it would be quite tiring mentally. However, as his figure was more to the slim side but he had great strength, it was easy for him to squeeze his way through the crowd until he arrived at the front.
Although he was now at the front of the arena, the visibility here wasn’t very good. The crowd in the levels above clearly had a better view, especially so for the fifth floor, which actually consisted of sealed rooms. Maybe, these rooms were prepared for some ‘major characters’.
Two figures appeared in the fighting arena. One was half-naked with a bald head and a muscular figure. The lines of his toned muscles were filled with strength. Wielding a shield in his left hand and an ax in his right hand, he looked extremely heavy.
Comparatively, his opponent looked much skinnier and weaker. He had a crew cut and wore a white-colored demon-faced mask. Moreover, he was unarmed.
The deafening shouts even overwhelmed the frantic heavy metal music. Everyone was excited, shouting and howling at the fighting arena.
“Begin!” As the voice from above rang out, the ax-wielding muscular dude charged toward White Ghost. At the same time, White Ghost also moved. His arm stretched out and his palm actually split apart, transforming into an extremely sharp metallic blade.
“Chichi…” The sharp edge erupted forth from the arm, directly piercing his opponent’s eye.
“Mechanical arm!”
Xu Mo was somewhat shocked when he saw the scene before his eyes. His understanding of this world was simply too little. As expected, he still had to head out to see things himself.
The scene before his eyes was like one from a sci-fi movie. The mechanical arm transformed into a sharp blade and shot forward. After that, the other party lifted his shield to block only to see that the blade was as agile as a tentacle. The blade directly grabbed the edge of the shield, and White Ghost borrowed the momentum to spring forward at the muscular dude.
A loud shout echoed out. The muscular dude’s gigantic ax directly chopped down at the outstretched mechanical arm. His strength was terrifying and exceedingly violent, causing the spectators to cheer wildly in extreme excitement. Xu Mo felt that he was about to go deaf from the volume.
At this moment, the mechanical arm’s tentacle immediately released its grab on the shield. As a result, the ax only chopped the empty air. However, White Ghost’s figure who had charged forward didn’t halt at all. Both his arms stretched out at this moment and transformed into metal claws as he swung them down. That’s right, both his arms were mechanical.
On the other hand, the muscular dude charged forward, borrowing the inertia force to swing his shield with terrifying momentum at the claws.
“Bang!!!” An intense collision sound rang out, and White Ghost was sent flying from the shield smash. His mechanical arms were even twisted. From this, one could see how horrifying the strength of the muscular dude was.
“Kill him!”
“Kill him…” The surrounding people howled with wildness, and their howls when mixed with the heavy metal music would directly cause one’s blood flow to surge.
“How crazy.” Xu Mo glanced at the surroundings. He didn’t expect that the fights in the Subterranean World would actually be so crazy. Was it because they were too oppressed in their ordinary lives?
It seemed that strength was more widely ‘worshiped’ in the Subterranean World.

In addition, combat wouldn’t stop when appropriate. One could even kill their opponents?
The ax-wielding muscular dude charged bare-footed at his opponent. His legs were very stable. Clearly, he had trained them well.
The two clashed again, but the ax-wielding muscular dude possessed the advantage now. Xu Mo didn’t allow the shouts and cheers to disrupt him. Instead, he focused his mental energy on the fighting arena as he observed the movements, strength, and speed of the two fighters.
He was thinking about what level his combat strength would be at if he went up to the arena to fight right now. Could he defeat his opponent then?
“White Ghost is going to lose.” A thought surfaced in Xu Mo’s head, as though he had calculated the ending. Although White Ghost’s mechanical arms could extend out and transform into weapons, the materials used to make them were quite ordinary. Immense strength could destroy these arms. Besides, White Ghost’s agility wasn’t high enough. In such a situation, he was unable to break his opponent’s defense. So, if the fight continued, there would only be one ending.
