Chapter 136 I Level Up Alone (Seven Thousand)

After everyone decided to compete, the battle began.

[Ten minutes later]

"Well"

"My leg seems to be broken, someone come and help me!"

"Fuck, what the hell is this?"

The dojo was filled with a huge crowd of people. The gangsters in white training uniforms were bruised and swollen, covering their legs or arms and twisting on the ground like caterpillars. They spontaneously formed a circle on the ground, not to surround the enemy, but to find a passage in the gaps of the crowd, twisting their bodies hard to escape from the two demons.

Yes, the devil.

"What a surprise! If it were in the past, I definitely wouldn't be able to defeat so many people."

Caesar shouldered the wooden sword and said with some emotion, "Looks like the squats are working."

"Rather than muscle training, I think it's because the quality of our dragon blood changes with battle. You've practiced the [technique] I told you about before, haven't you?"

Chu Zihang lowered his knife naturally and whispered, "The fluctuations in the strength of a hybrid throughout their life are very limited, especially for those whose word spirits are restricted. They may reach their peak at the age of twenty. However, blood burst may cause the quality of the dragon blood in the body to change, allowing unlimited progress - this is what Principal Ange said."

"I know."

Caesar padded his knife up and down.

"I also know the principal said that as [quality] changes, the proportions inevitably change as well. Trading stability for strength is a fair trade."

After the battle with the second generation species, Caesar naturally asked Chu Zihang to learn [Blood Rage].

He returned home to secretly hone his abilities.

Now that the two of them have improved in strength, even if they don't activate their blood-rushing ability, they are enough to deal with the mob of people from the Japanese branch under normal circumstances.

Lu Mingfei applauded in the audience, while Yuan Zhisheng had a blank expression on his face.

They couldn't hear the conversation between Chu Zihang and Caesar. Yuan Zhisheng just felt genuinely tired when he saw the dark-skinned subordinates struggling and groaning on the ground.

Ah Paris.

Sure enough?

He probably guessed it would turn out like this.

Although these three people are crazy people who claim to be the elites of Kassel and then go to Disneyland to play, their strength is unquestionable.

No one in this dojo can excite these three.

unless--

"As expected of a commissioner of this headquarters, our regular members are no match for him."

"Well, to prevent you two from getting bored..."

Yuan Zhisheng slowly stood up.

"Can you try it with me?"

"I've been waiting for this!!! This is the line!!! Boss Yuan, go ahead! Go ahead! Protect the honor of the community! This is the time to get slapped in the face for pretending to be awesome!"

Yuan Zhisheng: "?"

He felt bewildered as he watched Lu Mingfei clench his fists, wave his arms and exclaim in delight.

Chu Zihang and Caesar also smiled triumphantly. Perhaps it was because they had been hanging out with Lu Mingfei for too long, and they didn't know when they had picked up the habit of playing memes.

but.
Forget it.

Gen Chisei took off his black windbreaker and threw it to Sakura beside him.

In the split second before the black shadow obscured her vision, Yabuki Sakura could vaguely see—

Seeing Yuan Zhisheng's slightly raised mouth corners.

He's not completely free of itchy hands.

After all, he is also a half-blood. How could he not be moved when he sees a strong person?
Don't want to fight? That's definitely a lie.

Come to the court.

The three figures gradually approached, and the defeated soldiers on the ground used all their limbs to crawl away.

Although it wasn't to the point where their fighting spirit turned into a horse, the air around them did become scorching hot in an instant, and the collision of the auras between the three people was enough to make people's hair stand on end.

Caesar raised the knife slightly away from his shoulder and turned it horizontally.

Chu Zihang silently changed his hand gestures to the standard of Japanese kendo.

Yuan Zhisheng glanced over.

The former used Western swordsmanship, which was actually not compatible with bamboo swords. He was convinced of this by watching the fight just now. Caesar simply relied on his extraordinary fighting skills, hearing, and great strength to knock everyone present away.

The trouble is Chu Zihang.

It seems that he has learned a little Japanese kendo - but I can't see the style, as if there is no source.

"Who is your master?" Yuan Zhisheng picked up his sword. Interestingly, he did not choose to go to the meeting alone - but with two swords.

Let your left and right hands hang naturally and lightly hold the knife handle.

Chu Zihang fixed his blade and spoke softly.

"Children's Palace."

"?"

【boom------】

Needless to say, the moment Caesar discovered that Yuan Zhisheng chose to ignore him, although he was not annoyed, he smiled and took the initiative to move forward.

The bamboo sword in his hand seemed to be weightless and he swung it easily. A brown flash appeared in an instant and stabbed towards Yuan Zhisheng's left chest!

bang————

Dodging sideways, Yuan Zhisheng's movements were surprisingly small, and the sword could even feel the friction of his clothes on his chest. Yuan Zhisheng retreated and his heel stepped on the ground instantly, and he slashed the sword upwards with the intention of interrupting Caesar's attack.

But Caesar was faster.

Sheath the sword and turn to strike.

The tip of the sword drew a semicircle in the air. At the same time, Chu Zihang's bamboo sword cut in diagonally from the right side, and the blade went straight towards Yuan Zhisheng's left shoulder blade.

Snapped! ! !
The bamboo swords collided, and the kinetic energy of the two attacks was blocked by the reverse blade before they touched the cloth, making their palms numb.

Yuan Zhisheng raised one arm and held the blade at an angle to block the two men.

Step back, with the front of your foot pressing against the seam of the tatami.

Before the afterimage dissipated, the free hand was already tense!

The veins were throbbing and the blade was in ruins.

The force circulated half a circle along the axis of the spine, and the flat surface of the blade cut towards Caesar, whose eyes were slightly wide open!

Bang! The shockwaves from the collision of the weapons spread along the wooden floor, causing a wisp of broken green smoke to rise from the incense burners at the edge of the dojo!
This is a completely different field from before!

If Chu Zihang and Caesar's bullying of those branch members was like "beating up children", and the strength of the high-level hybrids was completely invisible, then at this moment, people could clearly feel it.

I realized how monstrous these three people were.

The sword wind left claw marks on the ground, and the collision created a sound wave like the explosion of a fragmentation grenade. The simple bamboo sword in his hand changed in a thousand ways, and thousands of thoughts were intertwined every second!
Bang! Smash! Chop!
war! !

Just a fucking good fight!
Lu Mingfei also thought it was amazing. Chu Zihang and Caesar were undoubtedly top-notch even in Night City. If you take their blood-thirsty nature into account, they had the ticket to becoming legends.

And Yuan Zhisheng is even slightly superior to the other two.

"The future life is terrible."

Perhaps guessing what Lu Mingfei was thinking, the audience next to him actually took the initiative to talk to him.

Lu Mingfei glanced sideways and saw that it was an old man.

Although he is an old man, he is still tall and strong. His hair is gray but neatly groomed. He looks quite amiable. He is wearing a navy blue kimono and is looking at the competition in the distance.

Lu Mingfei was only stunned for half a second before he guessed the other party's identity.

"You are... Hello! Hello! I am Lu Mingfei. I don't know if you know me. The principal asked me to come here this time just to say hello to you! After all, we are brothers!" Lu Mingfei rubbed his hands hurriedly and spoke with a wry smile.

"As for the saying that the young are to be feared, what's all that talk? Aren't you still young and strong?"

"hehe."

The old man didn't say much, but just changed the subject and said, "Compared to me, our head of the Yuan family is very powerful, isn't he?"

“It’s really awesome.”

"Then from my perspective, who will win?"

"Um--"

Lu Mingfei leaned on the railing of the auditorium, thought for a moment, and then gave his answer.

"Let's move on."

(What a great strength!)

Caesar's expression changed.

He thought that in terms of strength alone, Chu Zihang should be inferior to him, but Yuan Zhisheng was far beyond his level. Just one collision caused his forearm to show signs of breaking!
Thinking of this, Caesar suddenly changed to a charging style, twisting the angle of his right foot and exerting force again.

The sword transformed into a shadow and stabbed towards the throat and heart, but Yuan Zhisheng spun around with one foot as if he had read the sword manual in advance and slid past.

The action has reached its limit, and Yuan Zhisheng finally has a noticeable smile on his face.

Unlike the battles at work, this was just a 'sparring match', but the enemy in front of him showed extraordinary talent.

——Yuan Zhisheng also went to Kassel in his early years and met many people there.

To be honest, they are all pustules.

He is the 'Emperor' of the Japanese branch and the 'Emperor' of all the mixed-race people in the world. In his opinion, only Angers in the world can make him bow down obediently, and the others are just 'fellows' with huge differences from him.

However, Caesar's fierce actions made him feel a little happy.

But this joy also means that the intensity of the battle has increased further -

A storm of blade collisions formed in an instant, and the two men slashed, stabbed and stabbed fiercely. Although Caesar was retreating step by step, he was still not tired, and Yuan Zhisheng's strength was also increasing with each slash.

Chu Zihang did not interfere too much in the duel between Caesar and Yuan Zhisheng, and only took action when he thought he needed to.

Chu Zihang didn't have much chivalry, so since Yuan Zhisheng wanted to fight two people at once, he didn't mind.

Choose the right moment and wave your hand suddenly.

Silver light flashed, the wind whistled, and the bamboo sword cut down from bottom to top, blocking Yuan Zhisheng's retreat. The latter did not panic, but chose to use his backhand to sink the sword.

The hilt of the sword suddenly sank and got stuck in the center line. At the moment when the three weapons were tangled together, Yuan Zhisheng lowered his waist slightly.

[Buzz! ——————]

Moved.

The vision was instantly covered by darkness.

Only Yuan Zhisheng's eyes were pale.

Time began to slow down.

The next moment - the trail of falling sweat was cut off by the blade.

The benefits of holding two swords are apparent again.

He switched to the Demonstration Style Great Kasaya Slash with one arm, and the whistling sound that tore through the air made Caesar instinctively roll to the side to avoid it. Chu Zihang's bamboo sword blocked the downward trajectory at the critical moment, but he was forced to kneel on one knee due to the difference in strength!

Snap! ————! Snap! Bang——————

The wooden floor exploded into spider-web-like cracks under the impact of the knees, and the sound of bamboo fibers breaking was like a lightning strike in the bamboo forest in midsummer!
The momentum is huge! But it has not completely dissipated!
Chu Zihang's golden eyes lit up almost instinctively, and Caesar's aura also condensed.

Under the stimulation, Yuan Zhisheng's momentum increased even more!
At the moment when the three of them were about to decide the winner——

Snapped.

"OK, thank you for your hard work!"

boom--!--!--!------------

【Om—】

The storm condensed at the eye, its invisible tentacles entangled and broke, and then formed layered wind barriers that spread outward in one breath.

The sword wind swept forward along with the aftermath, blowing the bangs of several bloodthirsty spectators watching the battle from behind into suspension. The sharp wind even cut off the spectators' eyelashes and pierced their eyeballs, causing them to scream in pain.

Let the tears gather naturally and then rub your eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw
But it was that scene.

"is that a lie."

The wind dissipated, and five figures appeared in the blurry vision. Two more people appeared on the battlefield without knowing when.

A young man and an old man.

The old man used the back of his horizontal Japanese sword to block the blade of Yuan Zhisheng's sword, while the young man stood between Caesar, Chu Zihang and Yuan Zhisheng. He turned his back to Yuan Zhisheng and grabbed the blade that Yuan Zhisheng had just chopped with his backhand, holding it tightly with his index finger, middle finger and thumb, then raised his right foot to hold down Caesar's sideways sword, and pressed Chu Zihang's shoulder with his left elbow.

He slightly increased the strength in his hands and actually pushed Yuan Zhisheng's blade back. Even though Yuan Zhisheng changed to holding the knife with both hands, the front part of the blade actually cut some hair on the side of his neck.

At that critical moment just now, he was actually able to catch up and stop these three people?!

Although it was a little unbelievable, the members of the Executive Bureau couldn't help but exclaim when they recognized the old man's identity.

"Master of the Inuyama Family!!!" One of the eight major families of the Sheqi Hachi Family [Inuyama]

The current head of the family: Inuyama He.

He made great achievements in his youth and was one of the important contributors to the revival of the Eight Clans of Sheqi. In addition to running the pillar industries, he was also a very powerful person. He wiped out a large number of fierce ghosts at that time. He was the previous director of the Executive Bureau.

Possessing the Word Spirit——

【moment】

In the Sky and Wind King series, there is the Word Spirit with the most terrifying upper limit. It is famous for its "divine speed". There are levels of Word Spirit, ranging from 2 times, 4 times, 8 times, 16 times, and all the way to the incredible speed peak.

Inuyama Ka had reached the height of [Seventh Level Moment] in his early years, which is 128 times the speed.

Although the actual performance is far inferior to what the principle shows, it can also prove that Inuyama He is indeed a special existence in the world of mixed-bloods, whose speed is perhaps second only to Ange.

Being able to stop the source of birth in an instant can prove this.

It was the boy named Lu Mingfei
too fast?

And what is the operation of pinching the knife with the backhand? In this posture, the human elbow is quite fragile and can be broken directly with a little force.

People wanted to complain, but they saw Lu Mingfei easily helping Chu Zihang and Caesar up, then turned around and said happily.

"Ah~ the sparring was quite good."

"I also met the head of the Inuyama family, which means I have completed the commission from Principal Ange."

It's rare to see Lu Mingfei with such a bright and sunny look on his face, but considering that his smile is forced, it seems understandable.

Oops. Oops. No, I can't laugh.
But my Shadow Master's general operation is really cool, right?

What Lu Mingfei was thinking was about to overflow, and he couldn't suppress it, which made Chu Zihang and Caesar, who knew him well, speechless.

"Then let's go back first~"

When waving goodbye, Gen Chisei was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should raise his hand, or Inuyama He also waved goodbye with a smile.

With the departure of Lu Mingfei, Caesar and Chu Zihang, the entire dojo soon fell into chaos. They wanted to come up and boast about Yuan Zhisheng's achievement of fighting two people alone, and also wanted to come over to admire Inuyama He's lightning speed.

But after all, the gap in status was huge, so Minamoto no Chisei and Inuyama Kazu just waved their hands and dismissed these people.

"As expected of the Inuyama family head, your skills are still sharp. The speed just now was at the seventh level of instantaneous movement, right? Otherwise, it would be impossible for you to teleport from such a distance to my front."

Gen Chisei and Inuyama He stood side by side, the former speaking sincerely, "But... I didn't expect Lu Mingfei to be so fast. Although there is intelligence that Lu Mingfei's Word Spirit also increases speed, now it seems that it is probably also [Instantaneous]. Based on your vision, can you judge what stage it is?"

Although it seems that the higher the level of the word spirit, the stronger it is, in fact, it also depends on the initial velocity and the user's ability to withstand the speed.

Inuyama He's seventh level may not be comparable to the sixth or even fifth level of a young and strong hybrid.

That's why Yuan Zhisheng asked.

However, the answer he got was
"I do not know."

Inuyama He's calm reply surprised Gen Chisheng.

"You mean it's impossible to determine the exact level? But—"

"No, what I mean is that I can't tell if his Word Spirit is [Setsuna] at S-rank."

Inuyama He stopped.

"Master Yuan, you and the other experts present seem to have misunderstood something."

He clenched his fists at an angle where no one could see, and looked straight ahead.

"You might have seen Commissioner Lu and I arriving at the same time to stop the fight between the three of you, but that was only a 'visual' effect."

"In fact, only those who truly possess the speed-related Word Spirit of the Sky and Wind King lineage can possibly glimpse the actual situation in that 'space'."

"That's definitely not 'arriving simultaneously'."

There was an imperceptible droop in the voice.

Unknown emotions were brewing in Inuyama He's eyes.

[You are... Hello! Hello! I'm Lu Mingfei. I don't know if you know me, but the principal asked me to come here just to say hello! After all, we are brothers in the same school!]

[As for the saying "young people are to be feared"? Aren't you still young and strong?]

A kid who talks nonsense
Inuyama He smacked his lips bitterly.

"Master Yuan."

"Excuse me for being blunt, leaving aside Caesar and Chu Zihang, but Commissioner Lu might be a bigger problem than we imagined."

"I used Setsuna seemingly to stop you, but in reality it was to stop that kid from attacking you. But even so, the moment I used Setsuna—"

The old man's hands trembled slightly.

"That kid has already grabbed your knife."
-
After leaving the dojo, Lu Mingfei and Caesar Chu Zihang quickened their pace and walked towards the door.

But suddenly, at a certain moment, Lu Mingfei said, "After turning that corner, I will hack the camera for two seconds, and then I will separate from you. There is a place I want to investigate."

"I knew it."

Caesar looked as if he had expected this.

"It's not like Chu Zihang and I couldn't handle Yuan Zhisheng's attack just now, so there was no need for you to take action. Since you did, it was probably to take advantage of the opportunity to use your Word Spirit to do something, right?"

"That's one-third of the reason." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"What about the remaining ninety-seven points?" Chu Zihang asked.

"It's to complete the pretentious plot."

Lu Mingfei spoke frankly.

"—Have you completed the scan of the entire Genji Heavy Industries? Did you find any interesting individuals?"

"Well, there are two. One of them is blocked and cannot be scanned in. Moreover, Kaguya has obviously encrypted that area more. I want to go and take a look."

"It won't be discovered."

".perhaps."

"--Then I'll leave it to you." Caesar said nothing more.

This wasn't a mission, so there was no need for Caesar to set limits for Lu Mingfei.

In their eyes——

There is no place in this cherry blossom country that they cannot go.

If Chu Zihang, Caesar and Lu Mingfei separated in the hall, the Sheqi Eight Families would definitely be alert.

So after letting Caesar and Chu Zihang enter the elevator, Lu Mingfei quickly hacked into the camera, creating the illusion that Lu Mingfei was also in the elevator.

Then he immediately opened the elevator door and climbed up.
Then--

"Hey."

Lu Mingfei jumped directly into the elevator shaft.

Ignoring the natural panic of falling, I used my hands as brake pads to rub the track.

Metal hissed, sparks lit up the elevator shaft, and the slight vibration didn't even affect the outside world.

The elevator carrying Chu Zihang and Caesar began to slowly descend. Lu Mingfei confirmed that no one would open the elevator door at this time.

So--

【Buzz】

Sian Westin, open.

This time, Lu Mingfei did not intentionally spread the electric current to the entire Genji Heavy Industries, but limited it to himself, allowing the words of [Time Zero] to begin to take effect.

Time began to slow down by dozens of times.

Lu Mingfei once asked Ange to what extent his Time Zero could slow down time, and Ange's answer was -

【50 times】

Considering that Ange will definitely burst into blood, the actual speed at which this old man can arrive will only be faster.

Inuyama Kana's so-called 128x speed is good enough if it can perform at ten times the speed, which is about the same as David's, or even slower and more difficult to use - it is not difficult to see how useful the prosthetics of the future will be.

At this moment, Lu Mingfei's magnetic field rotation has reached the level of 100,000 horsepower. Perhaps it is not as good as Angers, but Time Zero can also reach an increase of about 40 times.

under these circumstances
A few dozen seconds of elevator ride was more than enough for him.

——! ——! ——

The architectural structure diagram of Genji Heavy Industries had already appeared in Lu Mingfei's mind.

The entire building is transparent, outlined with dark blue and light blue lines, and the people running inside are small dots of light, marked by him in red.

The light spots of Chu Zihang and Caesar were green, and they were descending along the elevator at an extremely slow speed.

But there is only one layer with neither green nor red light spots.

In fact, the image pattern was not what Lu Mingfei actually "saw", but was merely a "simulated image" that he naturally calculated.

A corner of the world that cannot be detected by any device.

That was where Lu Mingfei wanted to go.

A thin red line appeared inside the building structure diagram, which happened to be the route from Lu Mingfei's location to this floor.

He began to speed up, the music of "Khaki Expansion Generations" naturally playing in his mind, and the surrounding scenery began to become blurry.

Along the way, we passed through several security gates, countless corners, and secret key passages that seemed to require fingerprint, voiceprint, and facial recognition.

This place is heavily guarded like the Devil's Castle, Lu Mingfei thought.

But those were not worth Lu Mingfei's effort, and he could complete the hacking in an instant.

Lu Mingfei's hacking skills are probably the undisputed number one among the hackers who accompany him. Even among the legendary hackers, only the two monsters, Otcanning and Batmos, who are well equipped, can hold Lu Mingfei down with their hammers.

In modern terms, Lu Mingfei is God.

The last rounded airtight door was opened, and Lu Mingfei quietly sneaked in.

The four walls are white, with various pipelines and large equipment running on them.

Looking around, those were all emergency equipment, from the simplest oxygen tanks and electrocardiographs to blood filtration vehicles, cardiopulmonary resuscitation machines, high-pressure embolization pumps, cardiac shock vehicles that most people would never think of... They even included large medical equipment such as MRI machines, angiography X-ray machines, and linear accelerators worth millions of dollars.

Interesting, there are patients in there?

What patients would benefit from these?

Taking into account the information he knew, Lu Mingfei has written a 100,000-word novel. The content is roughly about the Japanese branch conducting inhumane human experiments, using hybrids and dragons to create prosthetics and various genetic drugs to meet the needs of those powerful people for power and strength.

He felt that small details might be wrong, but the general direction would definitely not be.

Being imprisoned in something like this could only be the 'secret within the secret' of the Sheqi Eight Clan.

Ugly Secret
"Hey?"

Lu Mingfei was stunned.

Because when he walked to the deepest part of the room, the first thing he saw was a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes looking at himself.

It was a girl, wearing a kimono, playing a video game. Her left hand was still pressing on the joystick of the game console. The character in the game screen was frozen because of Lu Mingfei's time zero, with a ferocious and exaggerated expression.

The girl's kimono was not neatly worn, it was a bit loose, revealing a large area of ​​skin. Her head was covered with a large towel, hiding her long red hair and making the girl look more like a white-haired puppy caught in the rain.

But that doesn't matter.

It didn't matter that the girl had a lot of exposed skin, it didn't matter that she had a pretty face, it didn't matter that she was playing games, and it didn't matter that she looked like she had just gotten out of the shower.

The important thing is
eye.

This kid.
Is she looking at herself?

In extremely slow time.

Only the girl was "moving" slowly.

Her left hand held the game console, and her right hand was facing Lu Mingfei, holding a silver fork.

He made a dart-throwing gesture.

Lu Mingfei, who was in the time zero state, looked at the girl in front of him, and the latter just moved her lips slightly, with a hint of surprise in her calm eyes.

The last thing Lu Mingfei saw was the layers of circles drawn behind him and the numbers from one to ten.

Is this a dart board?
【Eri's Dart Board】

It says this.

But there was no time to think about the meaning of this, and the action continued.

No sound came, there is no sound in time zero.

All that was left was the 'dart' thrown by the girl before she could retract it.

And
【die】

"Hold the grass!"

【——————】

The next moment, everything in front of Lu Mingfei was "killed".
