Chapter 2626
My Substitute CEO Bride
Troy activated the Infinite Bug Battle Diagram using his true energy.
The first insect that burrowed into his body had already made it difficult for him to cope. However, he continued to endure the pain.
Rocco showed no concern. He knew Troy could never use the Infinite Bug Battle Diagram as perfectly as Raylee did. Hence, he waited to see Troy's performance.
Troy trembled as he approached Rocco, who then delivered a punch straight to Troy's chest.
Troy felt as if his heart had been attacked, and soon after, his entire body went numb.
He flew several meters away, and the pendant hanging around his neck disintegrated into dust from the force of the blow.
After dealing with Troy, Rocco slowly walked toward Amy. "Well, now that nothing is interrupting us, are you ready to die?"
However, just then, Rocco felt a gust of wind blow past him from behind. He turned to look but saw nothing.
What he did not know was that Troy had somehow appeared right in front of him.
With a punch laced with parasitic poison, Troy struck. Rocco staggered back a few steps in disbelief, unable to believe it as he had just dealt what should have been a fatal blow to Troy.
However, the fact remained that Troy had reappeared.
What was going on?
Troy attacked again. His speed became so fast that it was almost impossible to catch him with the naked eye, completely reversing their roles.
Troy unleashed a barrage of swift attacks, and Rocco could only rely on his superior physical conditioning for defense. However, merely defending was not a viable option; he had to strike back during any openings.
Sure enough, as Rocco had predicted, Troy's attack speed began to noticeably decrease after a while.
Seizing the opportunity, Rocco retaliated with a powerful kick, sending Troy flying a distance away.
Just as Rocco sighed in relief, Troy charged at him once more, launching a series of powerful attacks. This time, Rocco could clearly feel that the speed of the attacks had increased, and the strength behind them had also grown significantly. He was simply in disbelief.
Then, he swung his six arms wildly. "What?! This is impossible! You've actually... completed your metamorphosis!"
The concept of metamorphosis was all too familiar to a poison master. It referred to the process of accepting parasitic poison within the body. Once a person fully adapted to it, they became a poison master.
This process was supposed to occur only during childhood. What could Troy's metamorphosis possibly mean now?
"This... can't be happening..."
"Well, it is happening!" Troy's relentless attacks kept coming.
Rocco still could not believe it. "The source of your metamorphosis is actually the Infinite Bug Battle Diagram?"
Indeed, typical poison masters needed a type of poisonous insect to undergo metamorphosis. However, Rocco found it incredible that Troy's source for metamorphosis was the Infinite Bug Battle Diagram.
Just using the parasitic poison from within was already past the limit for humans. How could an ordinary person like Troy...
"It's absolutely impossible! Y-You fool!"
"Yes, the poisonous insects leave behind parasitic poison after the hosts die, and the poisonous insects that serve as the carriers also perish. Did you forget that?"
This served as a wake-up call for Rocco.
