No matter if it was their physical fitness or combat skills, it was all top-notch.

The only exception was geniuses who could master both ESP and physical combat skills at the same time.

As long as these people were allowed to continue developing, they would definitely become big shots in this world.

However, there were very few people who could perform dual-mastery.

There were plenty of people who could not even comprehend one type of training, let alone dual-mastery.

Dual-mastery was not only about aptitude, but one also required a huge amount of resources.

Without a strong family background, dual-mastery was not encouraged.

Some civilian geniuses were stuck at this stage. It would only work if they joined a powerful organization or one of the forces.

Moreover, the talent they displayed had to be outstanding enough to be selected.

Only then would they gain the required resources.

This was undoubtedly a very difficult task.

Even though the team leaders of these three teams were all seventh-grade warriors, but if it was a one-on-one battle, they were no match for Elrond.

Elrond possessed intermediate combat skills, but he was only equivalent to an ordinary fourth-grade warrior.

However, he had awakened his aura long ago.

With the support of aura, even if he were to fight with a seventh-grade warrior, he would be able to crush an opponent of that level.

In addition, with his exoskeleton mecha, he would definitely be able to sweep away the enemies in the entire experimental base.

This had a great effect on Elrond too. Even though most of the base’s security force had been deployed, the current security force in the base was still a terrifying figure.

Countless people opening fire at him with their thermal weapons simultaneously.

Even if it was a full-body exoskeleton mecha, it might not be able to protect him.

After all, it was difficult to fight single-handedly against so many people.

The only weakness of his full-body exoskeleton mecha was insufficient defensive power.

Due to the shortage of materials, Elrond focused all the materials on his attacks.

Only a small portion was used on defense.

The rest of the materials were used on the limbs.

The exoskeleton in the feet could increase Elrond’s speed to a whole new level. The strength of his kick was equivalent to the full strength of an eighth-rank warrior. The terrifying part of the exoskeleton was his arm, which was full of icy cold thermal weapons.

If he used all his firepower at once, he could instantly annihilate a small team of 30 warriors.

But if he were to do that, he could only rely on close-range weapons in his mechanical arms to launch his following attacks.

Although the firepower of the exoskeleton armor was very powerful, he had a limited amount of ammunition.

If he fired at full capacity, it would be used up very quickly.

In that way, Elrond would end up in a perilous situation.

Doing that was not wise at all.

His body part was only protected by an alloy that was less than an inch thick.

At most, it would block out bullets fired by small-caliber pistols.

That was sufficient for Elrond.

…

Elrond had just arrived at the second floor of the experimental base.

When he came up from the third floor, the guards did not stop him.

They knew that Elrond was brought here by Henry York, so they didn’t check him.

According to normal procedure, no matter if it was going up or down, one had to go through stringent checks.

Some places might even require authorization to pass through.

If they went through the normal passage, authorization was not required because that place was heavily guarded.

No one could escape easily.

But if one wanted to take the elevator, one must hold the highest level of access.

There were only two people in the entire experimental base, who had this kind of access to travel freely around all three floors.

They were Henry York, who was killed by Elrond, and Helen Harry who was currently on a mission.

But the most troublesome part for Elrond was that he could not openly use the access card which he had obtained from Henry York.

Everyone in the base knew that only two people had this access.

How would a failed experimental subject like Zero possibly possess the access?

Even a fool would suspect that.

So if Elrond wanted to take the elevator to reach the surface successfully, he would have to kill the guards at the door.

But the elevator was situated in a spacious area within the base.

If anything were to happen, it would instantly attract an encirclement of the guards.

At this moment, Elrond was still a distance away.

His mind was working on the next course of action.

According to the original plan, he planned to leave through the common passage quietly.

But the plan could not keep up with the changes.

He did not expect the old pervert, Henry York, to ask for him at such a critical moment.

This undoubtedly interrupted the rhythm of his original plan.

But how could he possibly only have one plan for such an important matter like this?

Since he had obtained the identity access card, then taking the elevator to the surface would be the fastest and most convenient way.

That was on the pretext that he did not arouse anyone’s suspicion.

Just as Elrond was making his way to the elevator, another accident happened again.

This time, he met the elite team, the Sharp Blade patrol team.

Sharp Blade team’s team leader, Carl, was also among the group. He was an arrogant person.

He was very disdainful of this experimental subject. Every time he saw Elrond, he would look at him coldly.

The meaning behind that was self-evident.

“You are the lowest-valued slave in the entire organization. Meeting you will lower my status.”

Just at this moment, Carl suddenly shouted, “Zero, come over here!”

His tone was extremely arrogant, and it sounded like an order.

This made Elrond felt very indignant, but he had no choice. He did not want to alert the enemy now.

He could only pacify Carl temporarily.

Thinking of this, Elrond slowly walked towards Carl.

Looking at Elrond who was slowly approaching, Carl’s lips curled into a sinister smirk. He said, “Zero, I heard that Dr. Henry Yoke asked for you. I wonder what he wants? Did he want to dissect your brain again?”

When the members of the Sharp Blade team heard this, they immediately burst into laughter.

They did not hide their emotions and continued to mock him endlessly.

Elrond suppressed his anger by not saying a word or giving an action such as a nod.

Although he was used to Zero’s reaction, Carl was obviously trying to pick a fight.

He hollered, “Zero, you don’t know what’s good for you. I’m talking to you, but you don’t even reply to me. Do you know that this is called insubordination? Men, take him away. I have to educate him properly.”

With that, two team members walked out and smiled evilly.

Looking at Elrond’s expression, they chuckled, “Let’s go, Zero. We’ll bring you to a place where you can experience extreme happiness!”

Elrond had no intention to continue enduring because these guys were just too arrogant.

Moreover, Plan B was to force his way out based on his strength.

Since that was the case, he might as well switch to plan B directly.

Looking at the two members from the Sharp Blade team approaching slowly, Elrond suddenly smiled.

This smile terrified the entire Sharp Blade team as well as the team leader, Carl.

When did Elrond, the poker face, actually learned to smile?
