Chapter 66: Gu Ding, Flatten His Head Into An Idiot!
Ter had been an Interstellar Hunter for nearly twenty years now. Amongst other hunters, he was considered a “celebrity”. The notorious kind. This was because he enjoyed torturing the Interstellar Pirates that he had captured. Hearing the shrill cries of the tortured victims was one of his life’s greatest pleasures.
His sadistic mindset led to many entertainment venues blacklisting him. This was because the ladies that he brought out would return with scars and injuries all over their bodies. In serious cases, they were even disfigured.
His deranged personality was a result of his experiences when he was young.
Since young, he had always been taller and larger-sized than his peers. Before the age of ten, he had already grown to be two meters tall. Therefore, he was made to be a social outcast by his peers all his life. Hence, he began bullying others to get back at the world.
When he was sixteen years old, his height had already hit three meters. He had also awakened his first ability—Rage Attack Level 1. Already several times stronger than ordinary adults, he was now even stronger. He began to sneak into taverns and mingled with Interstellar Pirates and wanderers. After a long time, he realized that the fellows who bragged and drank all day were not as capable as they made themselves out to be.
One time in an argument, he fought with an Interstellar Pirate with a four-million bounty on his head. After crippling the fellow, he left, completely unscathed.
Later, the Interstellar Pirate was captured. He had also obtained a whopping two million Star Credits. The Army told him that if he sent the person in himself, he could obtain the full amount of four million.
Since that day, he became an Interstellar Hunter. His ability was also constantly enhanced with each battle. The handsome rewards had allowed him to not only purchase the gene enhancer that he needed to make him stronger, but it had also brought him great enjoyment.
On top of that, he also realized that torturing his opponent further would bring him unimaginable joy and satisfaction.
In nearly twenty years, at least two hundred people had been sent to prison by Ter. Among them, the highest bounty was 130 million, also a Rank 6 Gene Body. Ter struggled plenty before he finally won.
Whereas the new mission that Ter received this time was so much easier than what he had expected. The target was only a newbie who had just had a fresh bounty put on his head. The bounty was merely millions.
Although Ter did not enjoy dealing with wealthy people. But, he did not mind putting himself at an inconvenience and lowering his standards if it meant he would earn a ridiculous amount of money. After all, he had undergone all kinds of arduous training for so many years. Although he was ill-tempered, he understood plain truths as such.
To make dealings with this big client, he had even specifically asked someone to make him a suit. Although the suit looked incongruous on him, it did a great job of showing his sincerity.
The discussion went smoothly. The other party offered a 150 million reward. Moreover, the duo’s bounty could all go to him as well. All he needed to do was to send the duo to federal prison.
With a heart full of curiosity, when he was at the port, trying to find out about the duo’s traces, he took a look at the Grey-faced Buzzard spaceship that the client mentioned while he was at it. He shook his head with contempt, saying, “This broken spaceship is actually worth so much money?”
In no time, he received information regarding Gu Ding duo’s whereabouts.
As an Interstellar Hunter, he need not worry about Hermean Alliance’s revenge, but if Gu Ding hid in Hermean Alliance all the time, there was nothing he could do either. As Hermean Alliance allowed only pharmacologists to enter and leave freely, other people who wished to enter had to go in with a pharmacologist. If they barged in forcefully, Hermean Alliance would order the Federation Army to capture the intruder. On top of that, they would use the best lawyer to compile the bad deeds that the intruder had committed throughout his entire life and send them to the federal court. When the time comes, even getting sentenced to 20 years in prison would be considered a light punishment.
After recalling certain things that he had done, Ter shuddered. If he encountered such accusations, he estimated that he might even be sentenced to two hundred years in prison. He could only keep watch outside Hermean Alliance and patiently wait for Gu Ding and Liliath to walk into his trap.
Gu Ding who had received the warning from Larry made no plans to leave. He really wanted to know how his abilities had progressed now.
After fighting with Cooper, Gu Ding’s regenerative ability had evolved into high-speed regeneration. Similarly, his Rage Attack duration had also extended. Moreover, equipped with Ultimate Arts Level 7, he would most probably not be as easily beaten as before.
Of course, the key takeaway was that the opponent this time was much stronger than Cooper, whom he met last time. Although Cooper was also a Rank 6 Gene Body, when he fought Gu Ding, he had preserved half his strength. Under that circumstance, Gu Ding was already battered to that extent and had nearly lost his life.
Although Gu Ding had become stronger, this was most certainly not an easy opponent. Neptune seemed pretty worried. He searched up on Ter’s information and projected it out in front of Gu Ding and Liliath.

“This fellow seems really strong. If he’s at his peak Rank 6 Gene Body condition, his Cell Index will be at least 3000 points. With the help of his Rage Attack Level 2, his combat effectiveness will be equivalent to those of 9000 points Cell Index. As for his defense that has doubled, this alone is enough for you, Gu Ding, to have no way of defeating him, right?” Liliath could not help but ask.
“Based on the statistics, it is indeed challenging for me to break his defense. Moreover, his attack prowess is enough to injure me critically. But statistics are only statistics. No one knows that fellow’s actual combat ability. It’s still too early to judge the outcome right now.” Gu Ding admitted that Ter’s statistics were indeed way better than what he had imagined. He also knew that this battle might be much tougher than the one he had with Cooper. But, he had never cowered in the face of a formidable enemy as he remembered the words Dad used to say: “A man may lose but never lowers his head in the face of danger.”
“I found a few combat videos of this fellow from the past. You can take a look and use it as a reference,” As Neptune said that, he started projecting the videos one by one.
After watching the videos, Liliath seemed pretty furious. “This fellow should be the one sent to the federal prison. The things he did were far worse than that of many Interstellar Pirates. Does the Army only persecute people based on their occupation?”
In the frame, Ter tortured those Interstellar Pirates so terribly to the point that they were bawling miserably. Liliath could not bear it any longer. “Gu Ding, flatten this fellow’s head! If you can’t beat him, I’ll help you!”
