Over the past week, the entire Shanhai started operating because of Bai Hao (classmate)'s words.
During this period, Bai Hao (classmate) witnessed the madness of Xiezhi and Zhen multiple times, and of course, Liu Yi.
“Wuwuwu, Brother Hao! Dad Hao! Ancestor Hao! Save me, ah! This delicate body of mine truly cannot withstand Zhen’s powerful strength!”
Liu Yi hugged Bai Hao (classmate)'s thigh, crying with snot and tears, as if someone had done something terrible to him.
Others might not know what happened, but how could Bai Hao (classmate) not know? Zhen’s report made it very clear that Liu Yi had made very fast progress in these four days, especially after undergoing the super-transformation surgery two days ago, his strength had a qualitative improvement.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Liu Yi’s strength could fully be called that of a B-rank Valkyrie.
At that time, Bai Hao (classmate) was also surprised after hearing it; he had become a Fusion Warrior after multiple Honkai events, and his strength at that time was only B-rank.
And Liu Yi, a person with no martial arts foundation whatsoever, his strength had increased so rapidly.
There was only one explanation: Liu Yi’s Stigmata Space was related to accepting and applying things. This seemingly useless attribute could actually allow Liu Yi to start ahead of others.
Think about it, when others are still painstakingly practicing basic moves, you, because of your Stigmata Space, can thoroughly understand the basics and even start practicing martial arts. What does this amount to? A dimensionality reduction strike!
“My Lord, Qiongqi’s growth rate during this period has been extremely rapid. Give your subordinate three more days, and your subordinate will definitely complete the task you assigned!”
Zhen’s tone revealed incredulity and determination. Such a growth rate made him wonder if Liu Yi was a robot.
Liu Yi’s body trembled violently, and recalling the experiences of these past few days, he couldn't help but shiver.
“No, I don’t want to!”
Liu Yi hugged Bai Hao (classmate)'s leg, his face expressing utter refusal. There was no way around it; Zhen was a robot and didn't know what it meant to be tired. He would only handle every matter in the most effective and fastest way.
So Liu Yi had undergone high-intensity training these past few days. Even a Fusion Warrior couldn't endure such high-intensity training, and so this scene unfolded.
“Liu Yi, Zhen is also doing this for your own good. Our enemy is Honkai. A slight misstep could lead to regret. If you suffer now, it will be easier later.”
Even with Bai Hao (classmate)'s heartfelt persuasion, Liu Yi still clung to his thigh, refusing to let go.
Zhen stood by, not knowing whether to stay or leave, feeling quite awkward. As for Xiezhi, that little girl wouldn't care about this; she was swamped with work.
It must be said that Xiezhi’s efficiency was indeed fast. In just four days, some parts of the spaceship were already completed, and it wouldn’t be long until it was fully finished.
Bai Hao (classmate)'s current thought was to quickly improve Liu Yi’s strength, but with Liu Yi's stubborn refusal, it seemed highly unlikely.
So Bai Hao (classmate) sighed and said, “Alas! Alright then, you can end your training. I was originally planning to help you apply for a spot at Qianyu Academy after you completed the remaining training, but since you’re unwilling, then…”
Before Bai Hao (classmate) could finish, Liu Yi sprang up with a sudden burst, grabbed Bai Hao (classmate)'s hand, and said with a solemn expression, “Bai Hao (classmate), I think you’re right. Our enemy is Honkai, and our current hardships are for the sake of defeating Honkai. As the ancients said: A great man born between Heaven and Earth, how can he long remain subservient! Zhen! What’s the next training? Let’s start quickly, I cannot let Bai Hao (classmate) down!”
Looking at Liu Yi’s solemn and self-righteous expression, Bai Hao (classmate) couldn't help but laugh and cry. Sure enough, to make Liu Yi listen, he still needed Kiana!
On the other side,
“Achoo! Hmm~ Who’s talking about me?”
“Kiana, what’s wrong? Are you sick?”
“Huh? No, Mei, my nose is just a bit itchy. It feels like someone’s talking about me. Hey, speaking of which, where did Bai Hao (classmate) go? Why hasn’t he come to find us these past few days?”
“Yes, Bai Hao (classmate) might have something to do, so he hasn’t come to find us.”
Two days later,
Shanhai Training Ground
“Bai Hao (classmate), you better be careful, I’m not the same as before!”
Liu Yi held two short blades with full confidence, and opposite him was Bai Hao (classmate), looking relaxed and at ease.
“Stop talking nonsense, let’s begin. Talking so much on the battlefield will get you killed.”
Bai Hao (classmate)'s understated words, Liu Yi, however, heard a hint of sadness in them.
Bai Hao (classmate) must have gone through a lot, after all, he’s from the Previous Civilization. No, why am I thinking about these things? I need to prove that I’m not bad either!
Liu Yi shook his head, gripping the short blades in his hands. Short blades are mostly used by agile people like assassins and ninjas. Liu Yi’s fusion was with the gene of a very fast Honkai Beast from the Previous Civilization.
He possessed high mobility and high burst damage capabilities.
And what Bai Hao (classmate) fused with was a Honkai Beast similar to Kevin, only without Kevin's abnormal Devour ability, but possessing ultimate perception and super strong recovery abilities!
After Bai Hao (classmate) fused with the gene of this Honkai Beast in the Previous Civilization, he proposed a hypothesis: if the gene of a Honkai Beast with powerful recovery abilities were fused with it, would it produce another ability: resurrection!
This idea was immediately rejected by Mei at the time. It wasn't that it was impossible, but that it was too dangerous!
Fusing a new Honkai Beast gene into an already existing Honkai Beast gene would inevitably cause a collision between the two! That collision would be unbearable for the human body!
So this project had never been put on the agenda.
“Bai Hao (classmate), why don’t you take out your weapon!”
Liu Yi saw that Bai Hao (classmate) was just standing there without a weapon and without any intention of attacking, so he thought Bai Hao (classmate) looked down on him and felt despised.
However, if Bai Hao (classmate) knew that Liu Yi was thinking this, he would definitely exclaim: “Young man, you’re quite clever.”
“Hmm? Are you sure?”
Bai Hao (classmate)'s expression was a bit strange, and even Zhen, who was watching from the side, moved far away.
“That’s right! Take out your weapon, I want to fight you fairly!”
“But, if I take it out, it won’t be fair anymore.”
“Oh, come on! You’re so slow! If you don’t take it out now, you’re not my brother!”
Under duress, Bai Hao (classmate) had no choice but to retrieve Blood Gold from the Stigmata Space. Seeing Bai Hao (classmate) take out his weapon, Liu Yi twirled the short blades in his hands twice and rushed towards Bai Hao (classmate) with surging battle intent.
The two short blades, carrying an incomparably sharp momentum, charged directly at Bai Hao (classmate)'s side waist. If this strike landed, it could instantly cripple the opponent’s mobility!
The short blades brought a gust of wind as they thrust towards Bai Hao (classmate)'s side waist. Just as Liu Yi was gloating, thinking he was about to succeed, a stick directly struck Liu Yi’s abdomen.
What followed was a strong impact, feeling as if he had been hit by a truck!
“Oh my god! Ugh…”
Liu Yi lay on the ground, clutching his stomach, his entire face scrunched up. He felt like his last night’s meal was almost knocked out of him!
“Oops, I used a bit too much force. Liu Yi, are you alright?”
Liu Yi clutched his stomach, his expression pained: “I… am… not… My stomach… hurts!”
Zhen twitched his mouth from the side. He knew Bai Hao (classmate)'s strength and Liu Yi’s strength all too well. He couldn't defeat his Lord, and Liu Yi couldn't defeat him, yet he still dared to fantasize about fighting across ranks. For this, Zhen only wanted to commend Liu Yi’s bravery: “Kid, you’re brave enough!”
Xiezhi held her stomach and laughed heartily from the side: “This fool! Is the Lord’s attack that easy to take?! I’m dying of laughter. If the Lord hadn’t held back, your bile would have been knocked out of you!”
