Fuck!

Duge?

Hit the jackpot!

No, hit a ghost!

I knew all along that he was behind the National Defense Bureau…

Upon hearing Duge’s name, Zhang Xueqi choked on his breath, a wave of panic surged over him, but his reaction was quite quick. He interrupted Duge immediately, “Don’t blink.”

A person blinks about 15 to 20 times a minute, an unconscious habitual behavior that can’t be changed unless deliberately controlled, even if one’s spiritual power and physical condition are high.

So.

By the time he shouted, it was already too late.

The moment Duge’s eyelids blinked down, normal thinking returned, he quickly realized something was wrong, and in the instant he closed his eyes, he forcibly controlled the urge to open them and swept his leg toward Zhang Xueqi’s neck.

For two days, his information had not been leaked, leading Duge to the false impression that Luo Yan’s recruits lacked control abilities, and he was caught off guard.

However, this guy’s control ability seemed weak if it could be cut off just by closing his eyes.

Taken aback, Duge naturally didn’t hold back; he was always the one controlling others, not the other way around. Therefore, he put full force into this kick, which if landed, could smash someone’s head.

In the same room, without the barrier of isolating materials, there was little difference for Duge whether his eyes were open or shut.

Bang!

His instep struck Zhang Xueqi’s temple precisely.

But instead of the expected head smashing, an extremely satisfying moan sounded in Duge’s ears.

What the hell?

No physical injury?

Duge raised his hand and slapped him again, but again, it didn’t injure him in the slightest.

Fuck!

Control plus defense.

Duge frowned and shifted his attack target to his clothes and the Proud Flag in his hand.

In an instant.

Zhang Xueqi was stripped clean, left with nothing on his body.

Indeed, his skill only applied to himself and not to external objects. He hadn’t dodged a single attack nor countered, proving his attributes were quite weak…

…

That’s fast!

Zhang Xueqi was baffled by Duge’s barrage of attacks. Even though he wasn’t injured and his physical condition had greatly improved, he was still terrified.

Without The Extremes Must Oppose ability, he was as good as dead.

Seeing Duge pull out a knife, Zhang Xueqi hastily said, “Duge, I’m immortal, you can’t kill me, we can cooperate. Didn’t you just invite me to join the Shadow Department of the National Defense Bureau?”

Pfft!

Duge’s knife slashed across his throat, no blood flowed out, Zhang Xueqi remained unharmed.

Duge slightly furrowed his brows, not opening his eyes. Was it truly no physical injury?

Could he suffocate him using the Sea God’s Power?

But this thought was fleeting, and Duge quickly dismissed it. For such a weakling, it wasn’t worth risking himself, but his control ability was indeed troublesome.

He hadn’t asked his keyword yet. If he accidentally revealed the secrets of the two keywords, Pan-Universe Entertainment would never let him go…

So.

This man must not be spared, but the physical invulnerability was indeed a bit of trouble…

“No one collaborates with someone with control abilities,” Duge said, “There’s a way to deal with immortality—make a sturdy cage and sink you into the sea…”

Zhang Xueqi’s face turned pale, and he quickly explained: “Brother Du, my control skill is very weak. My ability is called Proud Flag. When I raise the flag, those who see it become my followers, but if they look away or the flag is destroyed, the effect disappears. Now that you’ve destroyed my flag, you can definitely open your eyes and try…”

Duge didn’t open his eyes but asked, “What’s your keyword?”

“Rebuttal, my keyword is rebuttal.” Zhang Xueqi said. He wasn’t truly immortal; he could only negate the forces others exerted on him. Being trapped in a cage or sunk into the sea, or finding abilities that heal or boost, could still kill him.

Most importantly, he couldn’t affect others with his own actions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to the National Defense Bureau in the first place. Hence, Zhang Xueqi didn’t dare negotiate with Duge using this ability.

“How can rebuttal awaken a control skill like Proud Flag?” Duge asked with intrigue.

“Maybe because when I rebut others, some people agree with my point of view and become my followers,” Zhang Xueqi explained.

“And how do you explain immortality?” Duge snorted. “I never knew rebuttal could awaken immortality.”

“…” Zhang Xueqi was stunned; he looked at Duge, hesitated for a long time, and then said, “Brother Du, if I tell you my abilities, can you guarantee I’ll live to the end? On the previous Alien Battlefield, those who sincerely cooperated with you didn’t get killed by you.

It’s because of that I sought refuge with the National Defense Bureau. I even dared not cooperate with people from our own planet. Apart from you, no one would tolerate my control ability, however weak it may be…”

This is the advantage of having a good reputation!

Even if someone has never had direct contact with you, just hearing about your deeds, they’ll think you’re trustworthy!

Just like Timely Rain Song Jiang…

Duge nodded, “Okay.”

“My second ability is The Extremes Must Oppose,” Zhang Xueqi swallowed and said, “The forces others apply to me, and the forces I apply to others, both produce the opposite effect. Which means, under normal circumstances, others can’t kill me, and of course, I can’t kill them either.”
