In the face of such a monster opponent, Shen Chao also changed his initial tactics, gave up defense and took the initiative to attack. It's not the first time he's faced a close rival in the ring. decided to have a hard-fought duel with the woman in front of him at the moment. But what he didn't know was that at this time, Captain Anderson was carefully observing Shen Chao's watch in a monitoring room. And he's not alone.

"I don't have much time, Anderson. What the hell do you want me to see? Admiral Hackett, who had just entered the door, put down the text in his hand and asked. He was the commander of the Fifth Fleet, and he had just rushed over from a regular meeting.

"Don't worry, Admiral. Check this out. Anderson saluted him and then pointed to the image on the monitor, which was showing Shen Chao and Shepard in a live matchup.

"That's Shepard, but who's the other one?" Hackett asked, looking at the ring. He noticed something very unusual, such as the fact that Shepard's opponent didn't go down immediately. is still fighting with her "fiercely". Shouldn't it be her one move to kill her opponent in one move? Hackett was pretty sure that with Shepard as his opponent, there would be fewer than 100 people on the entire Arcturus space station who could hold out in the ring for that long. And he knew all those people.

"A recruit, I was recruited in Normandy only yesterday. Moreover, he has not undergone any biochemical modification ......," Anderson said meaningfully. He called up Shen Chao's medical test records yesterday, and all the doctors agreed that there was no trace of biochemical transformation in Shen Chao's body. However, at the end of the report, it was mentioned that his immune system was mildly disturbed.

"No makeovers, are you sure?" Hackett was also piqued intrigued. He knew why Anderson was in such a hurry to call him over.

"That's right, all the numbers in his medical test results are the best I've ever seen. If only he had only developed his basic potential by now. That is to say, his combat effectiveness in the future is unlimited. And it's likely that we'll soon have an alternative to Shepard. Anderson said in a tone that wasn't very happy. It was not easy for him to admit that the recruit in front of him was more talented than his protégé Shepard.

"Do you want to recommend him to N7?" Hackett asked. He seemed to be asking, and his tone was more like saying a fact that had already happened.

"In the future, this is the most gifted soldier I've ever seen. After only a few months of basic weapons and tactical training, he has reached the level of a normal N7 to complete training. We must not let such talents go. You are the commander of the Fifth Fleet, and only your recommendation will ensure that he will enter the training program of N7 in the short term," Anderson explained.

"I'll go back immediately to prepare for the text, this is the first thing we found out about the Fifth Fleet, blockade good news, I don't want the command of the First Fleet to rob us." When will you be able to hand him over? Hackett reacted immediately and explained.

"Not yet, at least until I finish this mission." I need the best soldiers now. But if Shepard fails this time, we'll soon have the next Ghost candidate. Anderson said. His tone was also a little low, the Star Federation Council had been arguing about the selection of ghosts, and it was only half a month ago that it was decided to nominate Shepard for the Citadel Council to review.

Because Shepard is the only candidate in their hands who is far superior to normal humans in terms of physical elements and abilities, no matter how hard the other candidates try, they don't have Hercules' limit. The Hercules limit is an imaginary limit of human physical fitness summarized by the biologists of the Star Alliance in the early 22nd century by counting the number of human physical abilities on the whole earth.

According to this theory, a person, no matter how strong, is fast. Unable to lift a bar more than 3.5 times their body weight, or run 8.33 seconds in a 100-meter sprint...... With the development of human biotechnology, this boundary has been constantly challenged, but no one has ever succeeded. Until Shepard's appearance, she was born on Earth and didn't look anything special, and she had some relationship with a gangster. Because of this, she almost failed to join the Star Alliance Navy. …,

After joining the Starlink Navy, he quickly broke a training record, and was eagerly absorbed into the training program by the N7 Academy after only one year of enlistment. Later, after receiving biochemical transformation, he quickly broke the Hercules limit. The ability is also incredibly powerful. Became the first and currently the only super-soldier of mankind.

Although N7 is able to train a large number of extremely elite combat specialists every year, only one of them is close to the limit of Hercules before receiving biochemical transformation. She's Shepard. And now, Shen Chao obviously showed that her talent was not inferior to that of her back then.

"Are you sure?" Shepard is your best student. Hackett asked with concern.

"This matter is too heavy, and the interests of Starlink are the most important. Anderson concluded, and he lowered his head. Shepard was his best student, and her level of combat was far beyond Anderson's. He has always pinned his hopes on this strong girl who crawled out of the slums. Now, though, Starlink looks like it has an extra option.

Although there are relatively mature biochemical modification technologies, the soldiers of the Star Alliance are not superhuman. Even among the Star Alliance soldiers who have undergone biochemical transformation, only one in 10,000 can reach Shen Chao's current physical element. No one knows what level they reach after receiving biochemical modifications.

"Have you checked his file?" We can't go wrong here. Hackett asked one last time.

"Naval Intelligence thoroughly checked his file, and his family was innocent and he grew up in an orphanage. He had been relying on the support of the Gleason Education Fund to finish college, and about three months ago, he submitted his application for military service on the day he graduated. It's like ......," Anderson thought about, but didn't say the second half of the sentence.

"It's like me! Okay, you take a closer look at his table xiàn. I went to contact the N7 selection committee. Also, give me his file and all the service forms. Hackett thought for a moment and said.

At this time, Shen Chao in the boxing ring was already injured in multiple places, and his forehead was still bleeding on the left side. Despite his best efforts, Shepard hit him a lot more times than he managed to hit his opponent. If he can't think of a good solution, he will most likely end up lying on his stomach.

Thinking of this, he slowly held his head and retreated, his steps scattered and difficult. It looked like he couldn't hold it anymore, and Shepard seemed to have been fooled and began to attack more often. The people in the audience who attacked quickly couldn't see it clearly. Shen Chao silently endured these attacks, he had already suffered a lot of internal injuries, but his bones had not broken yet. So he can grit his teeth and hold on.

Finally, as if tired of fighting, Shepard's attack slowed down a little. Shen Chao seized the opportunity, took a big step forward, grabbed Shepard, who could not retreat, and launched a series of attacks, due to the internal injuries he had suffered before, his attack strength could not reach the highest level, but he still gave the woman in front of him a heavy blow. Just as he was about to increase the results of the battle, a powerful force suddenly pushed him out. Shepard used her own abilities.

Shen Chao felt very much like when he was hit by a scatter bullet at this moment, his whole body flew backwards far away, and then a huge pain came from behind, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted. He was actually thrown a dozen meters out of Shepard's ability field, flying out of the ring and falling to the ground. It took him several seconds to get over the pain and get up from the ground.

This was the process of his first matchup with Shepard. made a qiē effort, but in the end, it was still cheated by Shepard to achieve the final victory. So, the last thing he wants to see right now is Shepard.

"We're going to have business for a while in the future, corporal, don't be full of resentment like a child......" Sister Xue patted him on the shoulder and laughed. Her perception of that boxing match was completely different from Shen Chao's, and after all this time, she finally found a qualified punching bag that could withstand her fists. …,

"Is this an order, Commander?" Shen Chao turned his head and asked with a straight face. After yesterday's match against Shepard, he went to the infirmary and it only took half an hour to heal all his injuries. At night, she fought Shepard again, and she used her ability to cheat again. Drop him to the ground like a toy 2 times! If it weren't for his super long physique, he would still be lying in the hospital bed at this time. Therefore, his current impression of this woman is no longer bad to describe.

"It's just a Jianyì, I'll let you be in a daze for a while." Come and look for me in my room after boarding the ship, that's an order! Sister Xue smiled mysteriously at him, and then boarded the ship with her luggage. Only Shen Chao was left in a daze, he was really in a daze this time. He didn't know what Sister Xue meant, but he had a bad premonition.

After looking at the docking area for a while, he waited for a special guest on the ship. A Touareg man! His name was Nerus. It's a Citadel "ghost". The Ghost is an elite agent of the Citadel Council, and has extrajudicial jurisdiction in all Citadel Council spaces. You can arrest or kill a criminal who threatens the security of the galaxy at will. According to the plot, Shepard will soon become a ghost. That's why Shen Chao cares so much about the result of the competition with Shepard. It's about his estimation of the strength of his team.

(Note: The Hercules Limit is something I made up, and it wasn't in the original setting of Mass Effect, and this setting is meant to be in line with future Halo-related chapters...... ）
