These words were naturally a joke, and I didn't take them to heart.
"If you absolutely demand a way to prove myself now, I can't do it, but I can give you some useful information," Number One said slowly.
"What information?" I asked.
To be honest, the scarcest commodities in this place were information and intelligence.
I had no means of reconnaissance, nor did I know what was going on with Wei Xi. As a result, there were many things I couldn't find out immediately.
This lag in information made me extremely passive.
"I have a lot of intelligence here..." Number One chuckled. "You probably don't know how our ranking system works, do you?"
Hearing this immediately piqued my interest. Although they always talked about Number One, Number Two, Number Three, I had no idea why they were ranked that way.
"I'll give you this piece of information for free," Number One said with a faint smile, seeing my expression. "This ranking system isn't based on strength, but on the order of success..."
"In other words, in Father's... no, that's not right, in Wei Xi's experiments, apart from those he turned into puppets, I was the first to succeed!" Number One said seriously. "As for Number Two, he was naturally the second."
"This..." For a moment, I didn't know what to say.
"I know you can't process this immediately, but that's normal. I can only tell you that being ranked higher doesn't mean you're stronger, nor does being ranked lower mean you're stronger, because there are many decisive factors," Number One said with a smile.
"What decisive factors?" I asked.
"This also counts as intelligence!" Number One said, looking at me with a full smile, chewing on the grilled octopus leg. "The taste changed after adding salt..."
"So, you mean if I can defeat you, you'll tell me everything I want to know?" I asked, looking at Number One.
"That's right!" Number One nodded. "This is also part of my sincerity. I just don't know if you'll accept it!"
"Okay!" I nodded. I was very interested in what Wei Xi had done.
I especially wanted to know how he had achieved it, and these processes were very important to me.
On one hand, it would satisfy my curiosity; on the other hand, it could help me establish a general direction.
"Then let's settle it for now!" Number One said with a smile. "Let's go, let's find another place!"
Hearing this, I nodded. I didn't want to fight here. If a real fight broke out, innocent bystanders might get hurt.
Moreover, I still didn't know the extent of Number One's strength.
We walked into a forest. Apart from the thick trees, there was nothing else that could hinder us. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Here will do!" Number One said. "Don't hold back. I want to have a fair fight with you. If you can defeat me, that would be best. I don't want to be with a weakling!"
"If you can't defeat me, likewise, I hope you'll keep your promise!"
"Don't worry, I can do that!" I said seriously.
Number One nodded. "Then let's begin!"
Before the words were even finished, his body suddenly sank, and the next moment, he sprang up and kicked me.
Seeing the sudden attack, I didn't panic at all. I countered, not retreating, but moving forward a few steps and throwing a punch at Number One.
Mid-air, my punch was almost guaranteed to hit.
At this moment, Number One twisted his body sharply in mid-air, pressed one hand against a tree trunk, and used the momentum to shift to another direction, kicking me with his foot.
Just this reaction alone was fast enough to be astonishing.
At the very least, Lin Chun wouldn't be able to do this.
With almost no hesitation, I retreated two steps and simultaneously kicked out.
Facing my kick, Number One didn't dodge. He met it head-on.
The two forces collided fiercely, sending ripples spreading outwards.
Several large trees on the side were instantly cut down.
This was completely within my expectations. The power in my leg became even more terrifying.
The next moment, Number One was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a thick tree trunk.
The trunk fell with a snap. Under this terrifying force, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be so strong!" Number One laughed heartily.
This guy's speed far surpassed that of a normal person. Even special forces soldiers who had undergone some special training would probably not be his match.
To some extent, if I didn't have the Shepherd's Might, I would definitely not be able to defeat him.
Although the opponent was fast and reacted quickly, in front of me, it was nothing!
