F-class thief? Sorry, I can steal anything.

Chapter 312 Take Your Heart Out and Take a Look

Upon hearing Lu Changyuan's words, Xiao Zhan immediately lost his temper.

He was, after all, the president of the Wuhan University Student Union, a leading figure in the school, and a practical fighter who had made numerous meritorious contributions in the wilderness.

"Tear me apart?"

Xiao Zhan took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and a heavy sword as wide as a door appeared out of thin air.

"You can give it a try."

Lu Changyuan didn't even look at Xiao Zhan.

He turned his head, his mechanical eyes flashing red, and raised his right arm, which was entirely made of metal.

boom!

A large crater was blown open in the ground.

Lu Changyuan disappeared on the spot.

Xiao Zhan felt a chill run down his spine and raised his heavy sword, holding it horizontally in front of his chest.

A piercing metallic scraping sound rang out.

Lu Changyuan's mechanical hand gripped the blade of the heavy sword tightly.

Xiao Zhan's expression changed drastically. He felt a strange force, completely unlike that of a normal professional, coming from the sword, pressing down on his arms and causing his bones to crack.

"Is that all you've got? You dare block my way?"

High-temperature steam erupted from Lu Changyuan's arm as his five metal fingers exerted force.

Click.

The A-grade enchanted greatsword broke in two on the spot.

Lu Changyuan slapped Xiao Zhan across the chest with his backhand.

Xiao Zhan was sent flying, crashing through two lampposts before collapsing into a flowerbed and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The audience was silent.

This is Xiao Zhan!

A level 51 second-job Berserker!

He couldn't even withstand a single move.

Qin Feng and Zhao Tianyu hid behind the crowd, their legs trembling.

What kind of day is this? First, a record-breaking prodigy appeared in the tower, and now a monster has come along who can kill the student council president in one move.

Liu Yan exuded a chilling aura, and the tip of her staff glowed with a blinding blue light.

"Don't move."

The two burly men behind Lu Changyuan lifted their black trench coats, revealing their chests covered with a dense array of metal gun barrels.

The gun barrels were all aimed at Liu Yan's vital points.

"Does your parliament really want to go to war with Wuhan University?"

Liu Yan gritted her teeth.

"Go to war?"

Lu Changyuan chuckled and stepped on a broken piece of sword blade.

"Wuhan University? You think you're worthy? I'm only taking the stuff today. Anyone who dares to utter a word, I'll tear them to pieces too."

hum...

Just then, the teleportation array at the exit of the Tower of Ascension burst forth with a bright light.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to that direction.

The light dissipated.

Chen Yifan walked out slowly, one hand in his pocket.

He had just fed the fragment of the World Core to the Heart Palace inside the tower.

At this moment, the palace belonging to the heretical path within his body expanded more than twice its original size.

An extremely clear sense of control spread throughout my body.

He could even vaguely see the free-floating energy lines in the air.

As soon as he stepped outside, Chen Yifan frowned.

The scene outside is really exaggerated.

Xiao Zhan lay coughing up blood dozens of meters away, while several unfamiliar burly men pointed heavy weapons at Liu Yan.

Directly in front of him, a man with half his face made of metal was staring at him with a fake eye that glowed red.

"So you're Chen Yifan." Lu Changyuan looked him up and down, then curled his lip. "You've opened the reward for the twentieth floor, haven't you? Give it to me. I'll leave you a whole corpse."

Chen Yifan looked at the person in front of him.

My mind works automatically.

The energy fluctuations emanating from this person were extremely strange.

There wasn't much psionic energy belonging to the world engine; it was mostly a strong smell of engine oil and chaotic heterodox forces.

Who are you?

Chen Yifan spoke.

"Order Council, Lu Changyuan." Lu Changyuan took two steps forward. "I have no patience to waste with you. That's a fragment of the World Core. For a lowly carbon-based being like you to touch it even for a second longer is a desecration of the truth. Hand it over!"

Chen Yifan picked at his ear.

Council of Order?

Xia Nan had mentioned it once; they were a group of lunatics who worshipped the suffering of flesh and blood and the ascension of machinery.

In pursuit of power, he was willing to cut himself into pieces and replace them with spare parts.

What's wrong?

Now they don't even bother installing it anymore?

"Want it?" Chen Yifan spread his hands. "Come and get it yourself."

Lu Changyuan's mechanical eyes flashed wildly.

He stomped hard, creating a deep pit in the concrete.

His speed was twice as fast as when he fought Xiao Zhan earlier.

The metal armor on his right arm cracked open layer by layer, revealing a high-frequency vibrating particle blade.

He aimed straight for Chen Yifan's neck.

Qin Feng closed his eyes as he watched from the crowd.

He couldn't even see the speed of that slash.

Chen Yifan didn't move.

He didn't even bother to draw his dagger.

After absorbing that fragment, the Heart Palace's ability to analyze external forces increased to an unbelievable level.

In his eyes, Lu Changyuan was not a person at all, but a pile of scrap metal pieced together by a few energy lines.

[The investigation] is launched.

No need to touch it, and it doesn't take long.

Target information is fed back instantly.

[List of items that can be stolen:]

High-frequency particle blade

[Three-tier alloy exoskeleton]

Miniature nuclear-powered engine

……

Chen Yifan's mental energy instantly locked onto the third option.

The other party is a carrier of mechanical power and is completely unprotected by the rules of the world engine.

The particle blade was less than five centimeters away from Chen Yifan's neck.

Lu Changyuan was already prepared to enjoy the sight of this kid's head separated from his body.

"steal."

Chen Yifan's lips moved slightly.

The ring of the god of theft flashed.

The powerful mental energy directly triggered the effect of the Stealing Hand.

puff.

next second.

The particle blade on Lu Changyuan's right arm extinguished instantly.

Immediately afterwards, his proud cyborg body emitted a muffled short-circuit sound.

A soft sound of armor peeling off came from the chest area.

Lu Changyuan fell forward uncontrollably, sliding behind Chen Yifan in an extremely awkward position.

His face scraped against the ground, sending a long trail of sparks flying.

The audience was silent.

No one dared to even breathe loudly.

What's going on?

Is this some kind of staged accident scam?!

How did Lu Changyuan, who was just dominating the battlefield and acting arrogantly, suddenly collapse?

Lu Changyuan lay on the ground, his only remaining eye bulging out of its socket.

He was horrified to discover that he could no longer feel the mechanical heart beating.

The power source for his limbs and bones was cut off in an instant. He was now a cripple encased in a tin can!

"What...what did you do?!"

Lu Changyuan tried desperately to lift his head.

really!

As mental strength continues to grow.

He stole the Ring of God's effect, and it triggered more and more frequently.

It's even possible to designate specific targets for theft!

Chen Yifan raised his right foot and stomped directly on Lu Changyuan's half-metal face, pressing his head firmly back to the ground.

"You just said I'm a lowly carbon-based life form?" Chen Yifan flipped his right hand over.

A fist-sized, sophisticated mechanical core, emitting a faint blue light, appeared in his palm.

When Lu Changyuan saw that thing with his naked eye, his pupils contracted violently.

That's his core power source!

This thing was welded to the inside of his chest cavity. How did the kid manage to pull it out without even touching himself?

"Give me back my things!"

Lu Changyuan roared like a madman, his voice filled with unconcealed fear.

The burly men in the distance finally reacted and immediately turned their guns on Chen Yifan.

"Try firing." Chen Yifan tightened his grip slightly, and the metal core creaked under the strain. "Let's see if your guns are faster, or if I can crush it faster."

The burly men stood frozen in place, their foreheads covered in sweat.

They were hesitant to fire, fearing the consequences, and dared not pull the trigger at all.

Chen Yifan looked down at Lu Changyuan from his high vantage point.

"The son of the Chief Justice of the Council of Order, right?"

He exerted force with his foot, and Lu Changyuan's metal face was severely deformed by his foot.

"Stop acting all high and mighty. From now on, if you see me in Kyoto, just walk around me."

"Otherwise, I'll tear it down every time I see it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Wuhan University students around him felt as if they had finally exhaled the breath they had been holding in their chests.

That was so satisfying.

No matter what kind of Order Council you are, if you cause trouble at Wuhan University, you will still be trampled underfoot.

Xiao Zhan stood up, clutching his chest, and watched this scene with a wry smile.

He couldn't even withstand a single move, yet Chen Yifan crippled Lu Changyuan without even lifting a hand.

With this level of ability, he's pretty much done being the student council president.

Just as Chen Yifan was about to put the core into his spatial storage, a sudden change occurred.

The temperature of the power core he was holding soared, and the outer shell turned dark red.

A violent fluctuation came from the heart palace.

A scarlet mechanical vertical pupil mark suddenly appeared on the originally dull surface of the mechanical core.

Its vertical pupil darted around rapidly, finally fixing its gaze on Chen Yifan.

Lu Changyuan's face, which had been filled with fear, suddenly broke into a nervous laugh after seeing the mark.

"You dare to tear me apart... Too late... My father's gaze of truth has already locked onto you!"

The core suddenly exploded, unleashing a blinding red light that shot straight into the sky.

The beam of light violently tore through the air, directly creating a huge hole in the defensive barrier above the Tower of Ascension Plaza.

The piercing air raid siren instantly blared across the entire Wuhan University campus.
