Colonial Suit

In the ten-times gravity chamber, Bloodshot was sweating profusely.

At this moment, he was unleashing a barrage of attacks on a humanoid target made of refined steel. His body moved at high speed within a small area, like a blurry phantom. At the same time, he threw countless punches. Jabs, hooks, swings, and elbow strikes came in a flurry. It was as fast as a storm. The target shook incessantly, groaning under the pressure.

In just half a minute, the target was covered in fist marks. Each mark was half an inch deep, as if carved. But the most terrifying thing was that these fist marks were all on the vital points of the humanoid target, with not a single one missing.

Bloodshot's hand-to-hand combat skills had improved again…

As the flurry of punches subsided, he took a step back, followed by a burst of lightning-fast leg techniques. Left and right roundhouse kicks, upward and downward side sweeps, front kicks, and thrust kicks, each move was like an antelope hanging its horns, completely unpredictable. Yet, they were extraordinarily fast, making it impossible to see clearly. In just a moment, more than twenty kicks landed on the alloy target, bending it into an 'S' shape.

Bloodshot's power was immense, each strike causing the target to shake violently, as if it could lift off the ground at any moment.

Such intense attacks naturally consumed a lot of energy. Bloodshot was already soaked in sweat, with droplets flying through the air with each strike. But he seemed oblivious to fatigue, continuing his relentless assault.

Mechanical, precise, fast, and powerful!

"Bang!" Bloodshot landed another sweeping kick on the lower part of the target, causing the entire target to shake. Immediately afterward, he leaped up, performing a large spin in the air. His left leg clamped around the target's head with lightning speed, twisting it off with a single motion. As the refined steel head tumbled in the air, he spun again, unleashing another lightning-fast spinning kick.

This spinning kick was incredibly powerful! With a loud "Thud!" the ground of the entire gravity chamber shook. The target could no longer withstand Bloodshot's insane violence and was torn apart from the base, flying out like a scarecrow. It crashed into the wall dozens of meters away, creating a large crater.

Only then did Bloodshot stop, drenched in sweat, greedily inhaling every breath of air.

"Clap clap clap clap…" A burst of applause sounded in the distance. Bloodshot turned around and immediately saw Little Boshy with his golden hair.

He was wearing a well-tailored tailcoat, swinging his legs while sitting on the edge of the gravity chamber's platform. He had a large lollipop in his mouth, and his little face was flushed as he clapped his hands.

"Bloodshot is so awesome… Even a trainee mercenary probably couldn't pull off that Single Meteor Strike!"

"Haa…" Bloodshot exhaled deeply. He reached for a towel from the side and walked towards Little Boshy while wiping away sweat.

"You're spying again. Where's your sister?"

"Sister is researching a new toy. She said not to disturb her," Little Boshy replied with a smile. The new toy he was talking about was the blue-haired boy.

Ever since the blue-haired boy provoked him last time, Little Boshy had regarded him as his next toy. He not only often spied on him, but also tried to collect his information from the mercenary network. Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have applied for protection, and the intelligence data was pitifully scarce. There was nothing but a name, Jules.

This undoubtedly aroused Little Boshy's interest even more. So Mya joined the game…

It must be said that it was a tragedy to be targeted by these two little fellows. In just a few days, they even found out what kind of underwear Jules wore. Unfortunately, all they could find were Jules's habits and quirks, while his abilities remained a blank.

"Boshy… since you have so much free time, why don't you train for a while?" Bloodshot finished wiping his sweat and casually tossed the towel onto a steel pipe, asking indifferently.

"Training is tiring… Boshy doesn't like it." Little Boshy immediately frowned and drooped his face, answering miserably. Even Bloodshot couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart at that adorable appearance. "Besides… Boshy doesn't rely on strength to fight… Boshy has abilities…"

"Oh?" Bloodshot raised an eyebrow, revealing an interested look.

Since meeting these twin siblings, this was the first time Boshy had openly talked about his abilities in front of him. This couldn't help but make Bloodshot curious. He couldn't help but ask.

"Can you tell me your ability?"

"This…" Little Boshy thought for a moment with the lollipop in his mouth, looking a little troubled. "Sister said, I can't tell others about my abilities casually… But Bloodshot isn't just anyone… This… it's difficult…"

"Oh, then forget it." Bloodshot knew he had asked a taboo question. Mercenaries' abilities were confidential. Back then, Hensel had almost gotten angry at the branch's old butler to prevent himself from being deceived by the mercenary branch.

However, Boshy felt a little embarrassed by his withdrawal. He playfully stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice.

"Actually… it's okay to tell Bloodshot. My ability is… severing…"

"Severing?"

"Yes, like this." Little Boshy mysteriously winked, then suddenly pointed at the alloy target that Bloodshot had kicked apart in the distance.

A silver light flashed… and the alloy target instantly shattered into pieces. It became a pile of alloy blocks with smooth cuts.

So fast!!

Bloodshot's heart tightened. Little Boshy's ability was clearly unexpectedly strong. He was dozens of meters away from the target, yet he shattered it into pieces with a single point. This was much faster than his fists and feet. However, after that moment, Bloodshot had already seen clearly that the silver light was the silver thread worn on Little Boshy's wrist.

His ability requires a medium to use.

Bloodshot immediately realized this.

But even so, it was still a very strong ability. Bloodshot knew how strong that alloy target was. Little Boshy could instantly cut it apart from dozens of meters away. Both the power and accuracy were astonishing. Moreover, if this move were used in actual combat, Bloodshot could almost imagine how difficult it would be to defend against.

"Very impressive," Bloodshot said truthfully.

"Hehe." Little Boshy smiled happily, as if he had received some praise. He was just about to say something when he suddenly felt his body lighten. The gravity chamber's magnetic field had been turned off.

"Hmm?" Bloodshot and Little Boshy were both stunned at the same time. Then they saw a crew member walk in.

He cautiously entered the gravity chamber and respectfully saluted the two of them. "Bloodshot, sir… Boshy, sir… The captain asked me to inform you that we are about to enter the second node. Please prepare yourselves."

"Great," Little Boshy said with a smile. "I'm getting rusty staying on this ship. I want to get off."

"Get off?"

"Doesn't Bloodshot know? This node is large. Large nodes usually have black markets."

"Black market?" This was the first time Bloodshot had heard the name, and he repeated it.

"That's right, black market," Little Boshy rarely saw Bloodshot interested in something other than training, and he proudly showed off. "It's a native market. Bloodshot, let's go take a look together?"

"Oh… okay." Bloodshot nodded, while a wave of curiosity arose.

What exactly is a black market?

A slight vibration came from under his feet. The transport ship began to slow down. Soon, bright guide beams appeared on both sides of the ship, guiding the Medusa into the node's airport bit by bit.

Through the porthole, a huge platform could be seen floating in space. Countless ships of all sizes were entering and leaving around it.

The second node of the mission, and also the last node controlled by mercenary forces, had arrived.

This was a large node called Aitri. Its essence was a space station. It just hadn't developed to a sufficient scale. But even so, it was the most important transportation hub within hundreds of light-years. Because after this node was the chaotic star field without legal protection. So a large number of ships docked here every day for supplies.

When Bloodshot and the twin siblings left the ship, many crew members had already disembarked ahead of them. These guys were the lucky ones who had gotten leave. As soon as they got off the ship, they were surrounded by a group of scantily clad girls. Soon they scattered in twos and threes. In the following time, they would live a life of debauchery. They would also spend every last star coin in their pockets.

"Bloodshot, let's go." Boshy's voice came from the side. Bloodshot smiled slightly and followed them down the gangway.

Jack had already prepared a speeder. As soon as they got into the speeder, they left the dock.

Perhaps because it was the first time seeing this kind of node, Bloodshot was very curious about everything he saw. Along the way, he saw many bizarre buildings and various unfamiliar life forms. These life forms were completely different from humans. Some were similar to jellyfish, while others were a mass of slime. The most bizarre one was actually a mist. These life forms wandered through the streets and alleys, not caring about Bloodshot's gaze.

"Look… it's a Nobi," Little Boshy exclaimed excitedly. Following his gaze, Bloodshot saw a life form that looked like an octopus. It was lying on a huge soft couch, being carried by a group of slaves. Those slaves were all scantily clad girls. They knelt on the ground like livestock. There was also a burly man constantly whipping them.

Amidst the screams of the many female slaves, the octopus Nobi seemed to be enjoying it very much. It occasionally used its tentacles to pick up fruit from the couch and throw it into its mouth.

Bloodshot frowned slightly. What was there to be excited about with this kind of guy?

"Don't you know? Bloodshot, the Nobis are the biggest slave owners in the Sixth World. They are promiscuous and violent. They especially like girls of all races. Many races hate them to the bone. But they don't dare to offend them easily because of their power. I've only heard about them before, and this is the first time I've seen them today. I'm so lucky."

"It is said that… the Nobi's brain marrow can be extracted to make deep ability potions. Bloodshot, Mya, let's kill it!"

Little Boshy said naively.
