As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"Strange, why is there no one here?" Following Otto's instructions, Theresa and Chenyuan arrived at the underground training ground, only to find that apart from the slightly luxurious decorations, there was nothing there.

"[A-310, don't be nervous, this is just your first training session.]" Just then, Otto's voice rang out in the training room. "Then, let's begin."

'Clang! Clang!' As soon as Otto finished speaking, the sound of ramming against the cage came from the end of the training ground. The next moment, a tank-class Honkai Beast broke out of the cage. Its huge body and ferocious appearance made Theresa pause for a moment.

This is your training objective: only one of you will survive. To live, fight! But failure means losing everything.

Theresa's heart skipped a beat; facing such a monster for the first time filled her with an immense sense of urgency. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Chen Yuan gently patted her shoulder. "It's alright. With your strength, dealing with it will be easy. Don't worry, I've got you covered."

"Let's begin, A-310." Otto's voice rang out again, accompanied by the sound of electronic devices starting up. The lights in the training field became even dimmer, with only a spotlight shining on Theresa.

Theresa's pupils contracted; she could feel the ferocious aura emanating from the Honkai Beast. Despite feeling somewhat uneasy, she clenched her fists tightly, maintaining an attack stance against it.

At Otto's command, the tank-class Honkai Beast roared and charged toward Theresa, its speed so great that the air itself vibrated.

Theresa quickly adjusted her breathing, tensing all her muscles to prepare for the impending impact. Just as the Honkai Beast was about to strike her, she leaped to the side, dodging its frontal attack.

The Honkai Beast crashed heavily into the ground with a deafening sound, and the entire training ground seemed to tremble.

"Not bad, A-310, your reaction time is much better than I expected." Otto's voice came again, tinged with appreciation. "However, this is just the beginning; you still have a long way to go."

'This is a good opportunity, strike while the iron is hot!' Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Theresa pressed her advantage, watching the tank-class Honkai Beast fall to the ground, adjusted her posture, and quickly approached the Honkai Beast.

Although the Honkai Beast was enormous, it was not clumsy. As soon as Theresa approached, it suddenly flipped over, trying to crush her with its massive body. Theresa swiftly flashed above its head and simultaneously threw a punch, striking the Honkai Beast directly in the head.

Although the attack did not cause fatal damage, it was enough to temporarily disorient it and make it somewhat sluggish.

'Hmm... She has a high level of combat talent. She didn't feel scared or afraid when she first encountered a Honkai Beast.' On the other end of the microphone, Otto watched Theresa's battle intently, occasionally taking notes with a pen.

On the other side, the tank-class Honkai Beast briefly lost its balance due to Theresa's attack. Taking advantage of this, Theresa quickly spun in the air and leaped downwards, preparing to end the battle.

"Focus, Theresa!" Chen Yuan's voice rang in her ear. "Don't let your guard down!"

The moment she landed, the Honkai Beast seemed to revive, abruptly raising its head, its purple markings flashing with a dangerous light. It then let out an angry roar, causing the surrounding walls to tremble slightly.

Theresa's heart sank. She gritted her teeth, slightly bent her knees, and prepared to launch herself like an arrow. Instead of retreating, she charged towards the tank-class Honkai Beast at an extremely fast speed.

The Honkai Beast roared with rage, instinctively swinging its massive claws, trying to grab Theresa, who was jumping around beside it.

The moment the tank-class Honkai Beast swung its claws, Theresa quickly closed in on its body, then flipped to the side to dodge the claws and leaped onto the tank-class Honkai Beast's back.

At this moment, the Honkai Beast let out a deafening roar, twisting its body wildly in an attempt to throw Theresa off. Theresa clung tightly to the armor on the Honkai Beast's back, completely unaffected.

Adjusting his posture, he concentrated all his strength in his arms and pressed down hard on the Honkai Beast's head, preventing it from turning.

The Honkai Beast roared in agony, but it was unable to break free from Theresa's control. Seizing the opportunity, Theresa struck the Honkai Beast's head several times in quick succession, each blow weakening its roar.

Each punch was imbued with all her power, and with each strike, the body of the tank-class Honkai Beast visibly dented. Finally, after the last punch landed, the Honkai Beast's roar abruptly ceased, and its entire body crashed heavily to the ground, motionless.

Others can easily defeat Honkai Beasts with a single strike or a quick, decisive kill. Theresa, however, was beaten to death by the Chariot-class Honkai Beast, punch after punch. Blood was already seeping from Theresa's right hand, a testament to the force she used.

Theresa slowly stood up, her panting echoing in the empty training ground. She glanced down at the fallen tank-class Honkai Beast, and only after confirming it was completely unconscious did she breathe a sigh of relief. Turning around, she looked around; the lighting was still dim, with only the spotlight still shining on her.

Theresa forced a pale smile. Despite successfully defeating the tank-class Honkai Beast, she still felt somewhat exhausted from facing such a monster for the first time. Leaning against the Honkai Beast's massive body, she closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

"Well done, A-310." Otto's voice rang out again, tinged with approval. "To have taken down a tank-class Honkai Beast in just 30 seconds, truly remarkable."

"However, that's enough," Otto continued. "The strength and will you've shown have exceeded my expectations, A-310. Today's trial ends here; we'll continue tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, the entire underground training ground fell silent. Chen Yuan jumped to the ground, stretched out his tentacles, lifted Theresa's hand, and looked at the wounds that were healing themselves. "How do you feel after the battle?"

"It's okay. It hurt a little just now, but I don't feel much anymore." Theresa rubbed her hands together and answered softly. She turned to look at the fallen tank-class Honkai Beast, a sense of accomplishment welling up inside her.

In the blink of an eye, Theresa's hands had recovered completely, becoming as white and tender as before, with only the bloodstains on them being somewhat conspicuous.

"Of course, you have Vishnu's cells in your body, which give you tremendous power and a strong ability to recover. This kind of minor injury is naturally not a big problem."

“Vishnu? What is that?”

"Like the Chariot-class Honkai Beast you just defeated, it's a type of Honkai Beast." At this point, Chen Yuan kicked the already dead Chariot-class Honkai Beast and continued, "But unlike this one, Vishnu is a much more powerful type."

"It is a Honkai Beast that can evolve by devouring Honkai Beasts. It was rated as an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, but it was only at the Emperor-level when it was destroyed."

This storyline wasn't lying. In later episodes, Dr. Einstein detected a sub-project called "Gleipnir" within the Moonfire Armor, which sealed the activating factor of Vishnu within Theresa's body.

The true purpose of Blood Knight Moonbeam is to activate Vishnu's genes within Theresa's body, thereby unleashing extraordinary power. However, due to Gleipnir's limitations, Theresa can only unleash 15% of her full potential.

“I see…” Theresa looked down at her hands after hearing Chen Yuan’s explanation. “So, I’m also a kind of monster?”

"A monster? There's a real monster in front of you." Chen Yuan rolled his eyes at Theresa and continued, "Even if you are a monster, you're the cutest monster in the world."

"The cutest in the world...?" Theresa couldn't help but laugh, the gloom in her heart seemingly vanishing with it. She stood up and stretched. "Sounds pretty good~"

"Alright, let's go out," Theresa said to Chen Yuan, her tone relaxed. Looking around, she saw that the training ground had begun to automatically clean up, and the corpses of the tank-class Honkai Beasts had been moved away by the teleportation device, restoring the entire area to its original cleanliness.

Theresa and Chenyuan walked out of the training ground and into the corridor outside. The lighting was much softer, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant, but Theresa felt that it was quieter and safer here than in the training ground.

"It's not bad here, at least much more comfortable than the training ground." Theresa went into the bathroom, washed the blood off her hands, then took out a first-aid kit and treated her wound. Although the wound had healed, she still put on a band-aid just in case.

After finishing her business, she returned to her room, sat on the bed, and looked out the window. A vast sky stretched out before her. "I wonder what the outside world is like now," Theresa murmured, a hint of longing in her eyes.

"The outside world is vast, and there are many interesting things waiting for you to explore." Chen Yuan jumped to her side and comforted her, "It's wonderful but also dangerous, and you'll experience all of that in the future."

Theresa nodded, her gaze still fixed on the view outside the window. She felt a mixture of anticipation and worry, for her recent experience had given her a vivid understanding of the brutality of battle.

“I’ve always been very curious about the outside world,” Theresa said softly, her voice filled with longing. “Here, I’m always studying and training, and I hardly have any chance to really connect with the outside world.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan gently shook his head, seemingly pondering how to respond. "The outside world is indeed full of unknowns, but it is precisely because of this that there are countless possibilities."

"What's that saying again? Fight for the good in the world!"
