Chapter 142: The Prison Break Begins! The Legendary Undersea Prison!
In the room, Teacher Cang was bound, her proud assets on full display.
Zhan Lan looked at the state of the East Sea Team's famous Teacher Cang and couldn't help but ask Chu Xuan, "Are we... going to kill her?"
Chu Xuan didn't even glance at Zhan Lan. "Minus one point."
Only Ren Arakawa knew what Chu Xuan meant.
Chu Xuan looked down at Jing Kong from above. "Tell me the abilities of every person on your team."
"I... I won't tell you!"
Chu Xuan extended a hand toward Zhao Yingkong. "Lend me your knife."
As an assassin, Zhao Yingkong was not so indecisive. She didn't even need Chu Xuan to do it himself. With a flash of her blade, Teacher Cang's little finger flew off.
"Ah!"
The ear-piercing scream echoed on the second floor. Downstairs, Zheng He, Zhang Jie, and Nuowa, who were on guard duty, exchanged glances. It was clear that they too were not quite used to acting against other humans and felt a bit uncomfortable about it.
Chu Xuan's voice was incomparably cold. "From now on, for every time you refuse me, you will lose a finger."
His face was expressionless as he took out a notebook, ready to record. His words were identical to his first request, without a hint of emotional fluctuation. "Tell me the abilities of every person on your team."
Screams rose and fell on the second floor.
But Chu Xuan's cruelty in this regard far exceeded anyone's imagination. In less than an hour, he had a clear grasp of the East Sea Team's entire situation.
And Teacher Cang could no longer use her slender hands to bring pleasure to any man.
Gathering everyone, Chu Xuan said, "Tian Yishujie, with a Three-Sword Style enhancement. His ultimate move is Tiger Hunt. If we use Zhao Yingkong as a template for combat power, and she is at 40, then this Tian Yishujie is at 98."
"Nakamura Jinta, with the Pretender Enhancement, has already been killed by Ren Arakawa. Based on the information Ren Arakawa revealed, his combat power should have been around 95."
"Xiao Gou Zhen Xiong, with a 90% Younger Toguro muscle enhancement to his constitution. His strength is at 88."
"Finally, there's the leader of this East Sea Team, Furuta."
"He has a Dungeon & Fighter Asura enhancement and has unlocked the Third Tier Gene Lock. Considering that Ren Arakawa will be needed to keep him occupied, and he is already very familiar with this person, I won't go into detail."
Ren Arakawa couldn't help but ask, "Then what's his combat power value?"
Chu Xuan shook his head. "I'm only giving them a rough understanding. A conflict hasn't broken out between you and him yet, and I don't know the full extent of your abilities either. But based on the current intelligence, I believe his combat power has reached over four hundred."
"What about me?"
Chu Xuan thought for a moment. "One hundred fifty, perhaps."
Ren Arakawa knew Chu Xuan's personality; when he gave a number like that, he was very likely understating it.
Zhang Jie felt a wave of fear. "So you're saying, the opponent can easily crush us? With such a huge difference, what should we do?"
Chu Xuan pointed to the room behind them, where Teacher Cang had already fainted from the pain. "What I just said was the situation *with* her included."
"Huh?" Zhang Jie was confused. "Is this woman of any use?"
"Of course," Chu Xuan explained. "She is the East Sea Team's mental power controller. Without her, the East Sea Team would be trapped in a state where every step is a struggle."
Ren Arakawa raised his hand. "They still won't be able to understand it like that. I think losing a mental power controller is like having your family's spy satellite dismantled while the other family still has theirs. The whole map is covered with the enemy's wards, and your map is completely black. It's like a truck driving on a winding mountain road at night without its headlights on. You don't even know if there's a ditch ahead, so you don't dare to drive."
Chu Xuan nodded. "Although I haven't dabbled much in games, your explanation is correct."
"Then," Zheng He scratched his head, "how should we take advantage of this?"
Ren Arakawa understood Chu Xuan's meaning. "Stall! Stall until their driver is exhausted, and they'll naturally drive themselves off a cliff!"

The setting sun cast its light on the walls of Impel Down, dyeing the tall, gloomy ramparts a strange, dark red. It was as if it were gradually herding a new batch of captured prisoners toward that impenetrable abyss.
A group of newly captured prisoners, under the escort of Marine soldiers, walked toward the great gates of Impel Down with heavy, slow steps, like a flock of lambs to the slaughter.
Their eyes were filled with despair and terror, but at the same time, they flickered with a sliver of longing for freedom.
In a brief moment when the Marine soldiers were distracted, a few prisoners exchanged glances, a hint of determination flashing in their eyes.
They seized their chance and suddenly broke into a sprint, dashing towards the nearby sea like wild horses that had slipped their reins.
There was only one thought in their minds: as long as they could jump into the sea, they might have a chance to escape this hellish prison!
The escorting Marine soldiers were stunned by this sudden turn of events. After a moment of shock, they immediately reacted and rushed towards the sea, shouting at the top of their lungs, "Stop! No running!" They also raised their weapons high, ready to fire at the fleeing prisoners at any moment.
However, the guards on the shore seemed to have anticipated this. Not only did they not step forward to help the Marines capture the prisoners, but they instead crossed their arms over their chests, a mocking sneer on their faces, wearing expressions of people watching a good show.
