The scene of blood blossoming brilliantly in the air, as imagined, did not appear. No blood flowed from Lin Shi's severed hand or the part where his palm was broken off. However, the presence of blood could be clearly seen from the wound.

However, the blood was firmly blocked by an invisible barrier and could not gush out.

Lin Shi frowned, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. However, the piercing pain in his right hand did not stop him from standing still, because all of this was part of his plan.

Just as the mantis was about to sever Lin Shi's right hand, the muzzle of the bolt-action pistol in his left hand came almost touching the mantis's body. Now... you have nowhere to escape.

Bang! Bang!

Three bullets with the added effect of a second bullet were fired into the mantis's body. The mantis, however, did not care. Its pitiful intelligence told it that taking a few bullets and bleeding in exchange for Lin Shi losing one of his hands, thus halving its fighting power, was an extremely worthwhile deal.

After succeeding, the mantis retreated, leaving only white blood dripping from its wound onto the ground.

At this moment, the mantis was affected by the second bullet, its speed was extremely slow, and its invisibility technique was completely ineffective.

Because Lin Shi can sense creatures affected by the first bullet within a certain range, the mantis's cloaking is naturally broken, and like a monster in a game, a mark appears above its head.

Afterwards, Lin Shi used the Fourth Bullet on himself, causing his body's time to reverse and reset to the time before he was injured.

This plan exploits the information gap, because he can recover to his pre-injury state, while the mantis cannot.

The severed hand, which had fallen to the side, flew up on its own and returned to the spot where Lin Shi's arm and hand had been cut off.

He shook his right hand, and it felt perfectly natural, as if the hand had never left its owner.

This scene left Yuan Gang, who was watching the battle, dumbfounded. Even the invisible mantis was stunned and its body involuntarily exited the invisible state.

Lin Shi looked at the stunned praying mantis, a slight smile playing on his lips. He rotated his right wrist, twirling his straight blade in the air, and approached it step by step.

As Lin Shi approached, the mantis's intuition told it that the person before it was becoming extremely dangerous.

It trembled all over, its sharp mandibles hissed, and its skin rapidly shed, changing from a dark purple and dark green color to blood red, followed by a bloody smell.

Those two enormous compound eyes also turned blood red, as if tainted by endless rage and ferocity, brimming with immense power.

"This is... berserk!" Lin Shi thought to himself, this was the first time he had ever encountered a mysterious creature that could go berserk.

Unfortunately, the rage came too late; it was all too late.

But then again, what kind of BOSS goes berserk right from the start? It only goes like that when it's low on health.

The mantis suddenly exerted force with its hind legs, and its large, scythe-like forelimbs, reeking of blood, moved stealthily forward, charging towards Lin Shi.

Lin Shi didn't delay any longer. He instantly flashed behind the invisible mantis and before it could react, he slashed at the "air" in front of it.

The blade, gleaming with a pale blue light, sliced ​​through the air with a soft hum, striking the invisible mantis. A stream of white blood gushed out, forming white jasmine blossoms in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the mantis's body appeared, lying in a pool of white blood, and it lost its life.

Yuan Gang appeared before Lin Shi at this moment, looking at the mantis lying in a pool of blood, and said with emotion, "You kid, I've given you quite a few surprises! Bah, especially your life-saving methods. I won't mention the other life-saving methods, but just the ability to foresee the future is already outrageous. I didn't expect... you could also disappear into the shadows."

He patted Lin Shi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go! Someone will handle things here. The assessments at the training camp should be over soon."

Lin Shi nodded, and the two left the warehouse, heading straight for the training camp center.

.....

"How come there's only one hand left?" Lin Qiye looked at the severed arm in Molly's hand with surprise.

"I shattered everything else." Molly said expressionlessly.

Just then, a fleet of jeeps sped up. Lin Shi sat in the first jeep. When the vehicle slowly came to a stop, Lin Shi jumped out and went to Lin Qiye's side.

Chief Instructor Yuan Gang walked slowly to the group of new recruits with his hands behind his back. After scanning everyone with his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. "I hereby declare that this assessment exercise is now over!"

As for those who 'sacrificed' themselves in the exercise, you can rest assured that they are not in any danger. All training today and tomorrow is canceled. After the celebration, take a good rest.

Disband! "

Yuan Gang walked up to Lin Qiye and looked into his eyes...

"Hand over the Rubik's Cube corpse."

Lin Qiye blinked innocently, "After the Rubik's Cube died, its body turned into powder and left nothing behind."

Yuan Gang looked at him with disbelief, then shook his head after a moment, turned to leave, and just then, a message came through his earpiece...

He stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on Lin Shi beside Lin Qiye. "Where did the mantis's corpse go?"

Lin Shi also pretended to be cute and silly, blinking innocently, "Instructor, what are you talking about? Haven't I been right next to you since I came out of the warehouse?"

“…” Yuan Gang sighed softly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

"One, two, none... then that's fine."

Seeing Instructor Yuan Gang walk away, Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, then leaned close to Lin Shi and asked softly, "The test I gave you was to fight a 'Chuan' realm mantis one-on-one?"

"Yes."

"And then you just swallowed the mantis's corpse with your shadow? That's not right, it's public property!"

Lin Shi rolled his eyes at Lin Qiye and said in a strange tone, "Didn't you also secretly keep the Rubik's Cube corpse?"

The two exchanged a knowing smile, both understanding each other without saying a word.

After returning to their dormitories, Lin Shi lay on his bed and eagerly closed his eyes.

This time, my consciousness entered the City of Devouring Time, while my body remained outside.

Having absorbed two freshly created mysterious corpses from the 'River' Realm, the Zafkiel barely reached and stopped at the six o'clock area, thus unlocking the Sixth Bullet.

(The bullet transfers the consciousness of the target to a past body.)

This ability allows one to travel their consciousness to a body in the past, even a short period, thereby altering the future.

In Date A Live, Kurumi used the Sixth Bullet to rewind time more than 200 times to save Shido until she reached the point of mental breakdown.

In layman's terms, each period in the past is like a save file, but this save file is limited to one week ago.

Simply put, your future self is constantly moving forward, and using the Sixth Bullet allows your consciousness to transfer to a past body, which is also constantly moving towards the future.

"We're not far from our signature moves, the Seventh Bullet and the Eighth Bullet..."
