Looking at Project X, Sphynx cat's muscles tensed up. He gathered all the power he had in his body before expelling it all at once.

Bam!

Sphynx cat flew out like a cannon ball as he flared up all the muscles in his body. However, when he was nearing Project X, his whole body swerved against his will as he flew off on a tangent away from Project X.

Project X said calmly, "It's no use. Under the influence of the gravitational ability, I just need to exert a little bit of force for you to go off track and move away from me."

However, in the next moment, Sphynx cat blazed across with a trail of shadows behind him as he brushed past Project X and slammed head-first into the wall on the opposite end.

Right before his body came into contact with the wall, Sphynx cat's upper-body muscles coordinated with his lower-body strength as he flipped his body around like a spinning football. His feet banged against the wall as he curled, compressed, and shot off!

A loud explosion boomed across the main hall as Sphynx cat charged through the air again, brus.h.i.+ng past Project X's body amidst the howling air.

He watched as Sphynx cat sped up, knocking down walls, tearing up the ground, and destroying the ceiling. Project X frowned.

"Is he using his powers and strength to move around at supersonic speed, breaking down walls so that he cannot be caught by my gravitational force?"

Project X discovered the rationale behind Sphynx cat's moves. Sphynx cat had exceptionally strong physical capabilities but no flying abilities. All his powers relied on his quick reaction time and sheer strength. Once he lost contact with a surface and became stranded in midair, he would not be able to unleash even a tenth of his fighting power.

However, Project X did not immediately lift Sphynx cat into midair and cut off his points of contact. Sphynx cat could rely on his superior strength, speed, and explosive powers to bounce off the walls. No matter how Project X manipulated the gravitational force, he could only change the direction Sphynx cat was heading in. He could not stop Sphynx cat from flying head-first into a wall, before reversing and bouncing off again with his sheer strength and quick reaction speed.

"If I want to stop him from moving around so fast, I have to reverse the gravitational force right when he's leaping in midair and reduce his speed to zero once he comes into contact with the wall. But this is easier said than done…"

Project X watched as Sphynx cat zoomed back and forth amidst sounds of booming explosions. Sphynx cat moved at a such great speed that he quickly turned into a thin line. Project X frowned, "His speed has already exceeded my reaction time. Furthermore…"

Bam! A part.i.tion wall burst into pieces after Sphynx cat crashed head-first into it. He crashed his way back in through another wall.

"Not just supersonic movement, this guy is also destroying the surroundings, limiting the effects of my gravitational force. On top of that, he created more barriers for him to hide and leap about. He's creating a favorable battlefield for himself."

At the thought of this, Project X chuckled. "So you're trying to counter my power after receiving a blow from me? You really know how to seize that little bit of leeway l gave you.

This guy's fighting intuition is very powerful. Next, he will surely find a chance to strike me…"

As Sphynx cat's speed increased, Project X found it increasingly difficult to react in time.

Finally, a tearing sound was heard as Project X stared in shock at Sphynx cat finally found a chance to overcome the gravitational force and slam right into Project X's back. With that, he easily ripped Project X into two.

"Ah!"

Matcha covered his head as he stared at the pitch-black surroundings. He looked at the dark, winding corridor, where not a single cat or human soul was to be found, and screamed in agitation again.

He clutched his head as he paced back and forth anxiously.

"What shall I do? What shall I do?"

"Everyone's missing!"

"I'm the only cat here!"

"I'm doomed!"

Matcha collapsed on the floor and immediately covered his mouth, "No, I can't scream and shout now. What if I attract the enemy's attention?"

"But I'm really very scared!"

Looking at the pile of orange fur he shedded, Matcha quickly licked himself a little to calm himself down.

"No, Matcha, calm down. If you act like this, what will become of the other cats?" Matcha licked his fur for a while and felt himself calm down. He started thinking to himself, "Was everyone dispersed in the battle and sent here?"

"Does that mean the others are being attacked now? Are they trying to eliminate us one by one?"

"Should I go and save them?"

Staring at both ends of the pitch-black corridor, Matcha tried to take a step out but immediately retracted. "Or should I just stay where I am and wait for help?"

"But what if the enemy finds me first?"

As he thought of that, Matcha started shedding fur again. He clutched his head in despair with both paws as he thought, "Dead, dead, I'm so powerful they will definitely attack me first! What am I supposed to do?"

Matcha clutched his head and thought for a long while. He decided to put down his bag and took out his phone as he thought, "Forget it. I can't think of anything anyway. Let me play a round of Mobile Legends first."

However, when he unlocked his phone, what he saw on the screen made him shake in anger.

"There's no internet here? What kind of lousy place is this?"

At the thought of this, Matcha put the phone back into his bag. He carried his bag as he strode towards the dark end of the corridor. "No, I must find a place where I can connect to the internet, so I can contact Zhao Yao and the rest."

As he talked to himself, Matcha had already broken into a small run as he charged into the dark corridor with his tail swis.h.i.+ng behind him.

Matcha continued walking. Just as he felt more and more tired and that the corridor stretched on endlessly, he saw a corner turn in front of him. However, his ears suddenly twitched and the next moment, he felt his body be immobilized on the spot.

Sounds of heavy panting reverberated from the other side of the corner. Matcha's heart pounded faster and faster as he hid at the corner spot, shrieking internally, "Ah! What do I do! Someone's coming!"

"What do I do what do I do what do I do?"

Matcha was about have a mental breakdown as his fur shedded crazily. The panting sound came nearer and nearer before a black shadow leapt across the corner and appeared in front of Matcha.

"Ah!" Seeing the black shadow that suddenly appeared, Matcha screamed in alarm and instinctively activated Time Freeze at that moment.

Matcha observed the black shadow that had come to a standstill under Time Freeze. He measured its size roughly and was surprised. "It's not that big? This black substance wouldn't be anything good anyway. Humph, I'll beat the s.h.i.+t out of you first."

At the thought of this, Matcha put down his bag while still under Time Freeze and took out a small hammer. He started whacking the shadow with it.

After much bas.h.i.+ng, Matcha suddenly gasped as he took a closer look. "This guy looks like Lightning."

Matcha plucked some fur from the other party with his paw. The small hammer in his mouth dropped when he saw the fur. "It's really Lightning."

When time resumed its flow, Lightning suddenly felt intense pain all over his body and collapsed on the floor. He was just about to scream in pain but a shrill and even more agonizing scream a.s.saulted his ears.

Lightning raised his head and saw Matcha lying beside him, clutching his head as he screamed, "So painful! Who's attacking me?"
