"Hoo..."

"Don't panic! Don't panic!"

While feeling frightened and nervous, Ryan tried to calm his inner self, and his brain was working rapidly, looking for a solution.

The more critical the situation, the calmer one must be!

Divine.Jacob once said that one must remain calm in important situations!

"Benjamin's brain development is only 11.3%, while I already have 12%..."

"Yes! This is his weakness! And it's my strength!"

"Close-range psychic impact! There is still hope! I still have hope!"

In an instant, Ryan made a quick decision, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and entered the 'Subtlety' state again.

Although his eyes were tightly closed, in the 'Subtlety' state, everything in front of him was even clearer than what he saw with his naked eye. He could even see the pores on Benjamin's fist and a few sweat hairs that were curled up due to cigarette ash.

Even the speed at which Benjamin's fist moved through the air had slowed down tenfold at this moment, and even the trajectory of the punch could be accurately predicted by Ryan.

"Swish!"

Without any hesitation, Ryan immediately followed the trajectory of the punch he predicted and turned his head slightly, just barely avoiding Benjamin's fist touching his cheek.

"Hmm?"

Benjamin was surprised to see this.

He was a First Grade Peak Elite, and although his punching speed hadn't reached the point of breaking the sound barrier yet, his speed was so fast that it couldn't be measured by normal standards.

There's no way an ordinary person like Ryan could have dodged that punch.

But now, Ryan has somehow managed to dodge it!

This kid is strange!

"Kill!"

And in the blink of an eye, Ryan's previously closed eyes suddenly opened wide. His fully developed brain domain was activated, his mental power twisted together, and a brilliant light burst forth from his eyes. He stared at Benjamin's eyes, shouting in anger.

Boom!

In an instant, Benjamin felt as if Ryan's eyes had suddenly turned into two blazing suns, radiating bright light and heat.

"Your brain development... David, you fucking lied to me..."

Under the dazzling light, Benjamin's head buzzed and he almost exploded in shock.

Ryan's mental strength was clearly not that of a useless person with only 10% brain development, as David had claimed.

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

On the contrary, Ryan's brain development had already reached 12%!

He was not useless, but a genius!

A bona fide genius!

Benjamin's eyes showed a thick mix of fear and disbelief. Without hesitation, he wanted to dodge and run away.

But at this moment, it was already too late. He didn't even have time to make any moves, as Ryan's mental power surge, like a burst dam, rushed into his mind through his eyes.

"Buzz..."

Under the terrifying impact, Benjamin felt as if an invisible hammer had struck heavily on his brain. In just a moment, he blacked out, and his whole body felt like it was rapidly falling into a deep, terrifying abyss.

At this moment, his limbs felt like they had disconnected from his brain, as they no longer responded and became as limp as noodles, causing him to collapse to the ground.

"Damn it..."

Regret overwhelmed Benjamin at this moment. If he had a choice, he would never have taken on this damn task from David for a mere 3,000 star coins.

Killing a genius? Even if the reward was increased tenfold to 30,000 star coins, he would never do it.

Because geniuses were capable of creating miracles that were beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

"Kill!"

Ryan didn't hesitate for a moment, he quickly flew out with both hands pushing against the bed board.

Then he struck out with a powerful punch that landed heavily on the side of Benjamin's spleen.

"Ah...Ahh..."

The spleen is one of the weakest organs in the human body, and when Ryan's fist hit it, Benjamin immediately cried out in pain, his body writhing violently like a shrimp.

Although he was a First Grade peak Elite with stronger physical ability than the average person, he was far from being invincible.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Ryan paid no attention to Benjamin's cries of pain. His fists rained down like a storm, one after another, and with the Subtlety state in effect, he struck with precision on Benjamin's spleen over and over again.

In the dark room, all that could be heard was the sound of fists colliding with flesh.

……

Ryan had lost count of how many punches he had thrown, until the lactic acid made his arms feel like noodles. Unconsciously, he landed two heavy blows on Benjamin before collapsing on the ground, gasping for breath.

When he turned to look at Benjamin, he saw him lying there like a dead fish, motionless and staring blankly at the ceiling. His complexion had turned waxen yellow, completely devoid of blood.

"Benjamin, he's dead!" Ryan exclaimed, his eyes twitching violently as he took a few steps back.

Benjamin's condition was a typical symptom of a ruptured spleen and excessive blood loss.

Ryan had been in fights before, but this was his first time killing someone. And to make matters worse, he had killed a First Grade Elite.

"Benjamin..." Ryan choked on his saliva, then kicked Benjamin's body, causing it to sway without any response. "Damn it!" he cursed to himself, feeling both exhilarated and anxious.

He was exhilarated because he had managed to kill a First Grade Elite, even before he had fused with spirit.

It was a miraculous achievement!

But he was anxious because he had killed someone, and he had no idea what to do with the body.

Once discovered, not only would he be thrown in jail, but the secret of the Divine Fire would also be exposed!

"Buzz!"

But at this moment, the Divine Fire in Ryan's mind suddenly lit up, and his black pupils turned into two golden flames.

Then, along Benjamin's body, thin fragments of spiritual power floated towards him like fireflies, quietly drifting towards his brain. They turned into rain and fell quickly onto his mind after passing through the Divine Fire.

The next moment, a spark flew out of his eyes and landed on Benjamin's corpse.

Although it was just a spark, it had the power to destroy the world. As soon as it landed, Benjamin's body disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving behind only his clothes, shoes, and a slightly brighter spark than before.

Then, the spark drifted back into his mind, making the golden Divine Fire a little brighter.

"I'll be damned..."

Ryan was stunned, staring at the clothes on the ground that still looked limp. The expression on his face was complex, with both surprise and shock as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

He never imagined that the Divine Fire not only had the ability to devour fragments of spiritual power but also the ability to devour life force. In addition, it devoured so cleanly that not even a speck of bone dust was left behind.

This Divine Fire is truly a weapon of mass destruction for destroying corpses!

Could it be that God gave him this Divine Fire not to make him a hero, but to make him a villain?!
