Godslayer: Aizen Template, I will stand in the heavens!

Chen Muyi and Wu Xiangnan, who came to pick them up, were both amused and exasperated by the stark contrast in appearance of the four of them.

Hongying and Si Xiaonan's clothes weren't even wrinkled, while Li Lian and Lin Qiye looked like they had just crawled out of a pile of corpses.

Si Xiaonan sensed something was off. She hid behind Lin Qiye and secretly smeared a little blood from Lin Qiye's body onto her own face to prove that she hadn't been slacking off.

Hongying smiled happily. She had never had such a simple and easy mission in her life. Her spear hadn't even touched any blood!

"How was your first mission?"

Even Chen Muye's usually cold face now showed a hint of a smile; he was very satisfied with the performance of the two newcomers.

Li Lian possessed immense combat power, seemingly a killing star descended to earth. He not only single-handedly killed most of the snake demon offspring on campus but also severely injured the snake demon's true form.

Even though the snake demon faked its death to escape, its combat power was undeniable.

Lin Qiye is both brave and resourceful. He can handle problems calmly when he is undercover, and he can also remain calm and handle situations properly when facing a riotous crowd.

His combat prowess was quite remarkable back then, after all, it was he who killed the Nanda snake demon in its true form!

"It's alright, just a little tired."

Lin Qiye looked at Chen Muye and said, "By the way, I met a very smart person on campus who also wants to join the Night Watch. I wonder..."

"Seven Nights, you know, the Night Watch isn't that kind of organization."

"Ok."

Lin Qiye asked the question on behalf of An Qingyu. Right after they dealt with the snake demon's true form, An Qingyu asked Lin Qiye to ask the question.

For some reason, Lin Qiye found it difficult to refuse the request of this wise and intelligent young man.

However, if Chen Muyi refused, he wouldn't say anything more, after all, that was all he could do.

Li Lian naturally knew about An Qingyu's situation, but An Qingyu had no idea how much Li Lian had done for her!

He didn't even cremate the Nanda snake demon's corpse! His character almost got ruined!

The head of that Nanda snake demon was one he specifically left for An Qingyu.

"Alright, professionals will take care of the cleanup now. We can head back to the office. I'll personally cook a celebratory meal for you all!"

"How did you clean up this mess? Li Lian's methods were too bloody; the ceiling was covered in blood."

"Is that the kind of person who wouldn't even flinch when blood splatters on their head just to look cool?"

"Shut up!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Li Lian and Lin Qiye were bickering. Li Lian knew that after today's battle, he and Lin Qiye would become true friends.

Everyone was watching the spectacle with great interest, and Hongying and Si Xiaonan were even fanning the flames, trying to get the two of them to fight.

Meanwhile, Leng Xuan, the peeping tom hiding far away, took another photo. He swung the photo around a few times, and as the image slowly appeared, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"This one is also good, worth keeping!"

……

Peace Office.

When Li Lian and Lin Qiye washed off the blood and changed into clean clothes, the members of Squad 136 were already sitting at the dining table, ready to eat.

Chen Muyi put down the last dish in his hand and was about to say something when his phone rang.

"What? The snake demon's head is missing?" Chen Muye frowned.

"It's alright, maybe the teachers and students at the school were just curious and hid it. Anyway, the Wujie Airspace is always there, so they can't take it out."

"When you use dream whispers to erase their memories, you'll know who hid them."

Dream Whispers is a supplementary magical artifact whose main function is to replace a portion of a person's memories with dreams. It is typically used to erase eyewitness accounts or extract information through torture.

Li Lian naturally knew that An Qingyu had taken the head of the Nanta Snake Demon, which was probably a necessary condition for him to awaken the Forbidden Ruins.

"Li Lian, why didn't you cremate your head this time?"

Lin Qiye tugged at Li Lian's clothes and asked him in a low voice.

"forget."

Lin Qiye: (?_?)

Let's see how long you can keep up this act!

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, everyone had eaten their fill and the meal came to an end.

Only Wu Xiangnan was left to wash the dishes because he argued with the team leader on the bus.

Li Lian pulled Lin Qiye to the Forbidden Ruins Experiment Field, his mysterious demeanor leaving Lin Qiye completely bewildered.

Why did you drag me here?

"I'll show you a real treasure!"

"...I'm a respectable person!"

"Don't be so loud! Everyone's a decent person! I, Forbidden Ruins, have awakened a new ability, but I don't know how powerful it is. Can I borrow your eyes for a bit?"

"Then why don't you call the captain and the others over?"

"I asked you to come because I trust you, how can you be so ungrateful? This is my trump card, of course the fewer people who know about it, the better!"

Lin Qiye: (乛_乛)

With a thought, Li Lian's black Shinigami armor covered his entire body, and his Zanpakuto with a brown scabbard and purple hand-wrapped handle was inserted into his belt.

"Qianye, are you ready?"

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up with a golden light. He was surprised to find that his eyes could not see through the black clothes!

During the previous battle, my attention was focused on the Nandaka snake demon, and I didn't notice at all that Li Lian's Death Armor also had the function of blocking vision.

Lin Qiye didn't think too much about it, gave Li Lian a thumbs up, and told him that he was ready.

Li Lian drew his Zanpakuto, and a scorching aura immediately emanated from it. Holding the sword horizontally in the air, Li Lian uttered the release phrase:

"All things return to ashes. Flowing Blade Like Fire!"

The Flowing Blade in Li Lian's hand instantly burst into flames, engulfing Li Lian as well, forming a huge ball of fire within half a meter of him!

The surrounding air was distorted by the intense heat of the flames, and the blinding light forced Lin Qiye to squint.

Li Lian now shines like the sun!

However, Li Lian himself did not feel so good. After awakening the system, he felt the heat for the first time. The sweat on his body evaporated the moment it appeared, and the water in his body was rapidly being lost.

The Ryujin Jakka in his hand was constantly drawing away his spiritual power, while he was rapidly recovering his spiritual power under the blessing of the Shinigami Armor.

My body is like a pool that's being filled and drained at the same time. Spiritual energy comes and goes within my body, creating an indescribable feeling of discomfort.

Without the rapid spirit energy recovery and reduced consumption effects of the Death Knight's Gear, one's total spirit energy can only sustain the Shikai state for a maximum of about 40 seconds.

Now with the Death Armor, it can last for at least a minute.

No wonder the system unlocked the Shihaka outfit before unlocking the Shikai; it was probably afraid I'd mess up and kill myself.

"Seven Nights, let me try making a cut. You'd better watch carefully!"

After Li Lian finished speaking, he used the Flowing Blade Like Fire in his hand to slash horizontally at the target in the experimental field. The target was more than fifteen meters away from Li Lian.

A wave of fire, nearly five meters wide, surged out, easily turning the target to ashes, and then continued to advance more than ten meters behind the target before disappearing into the air.

Not bad. This slash didn't use any extra spiritual energy. If every attack required extra spiritual energy, I wouldn't have lasted a minute.

He swung his sword again, unleashing another thirty-meter-long wave of fire.

It seems that this fire wave, capable of reaching 30 meters, is a normal attack effect after the initial release, and can be applied to every attack.

My spiritual energy is running low. Let's try using skills in my initial release state again.

As he sheathed his sword, the flames surrounding Li Lian subsided slightly, and the temperature dropped considerably.

Li Lian took a deep breath and assumed an iaido stance.

"Slay him with a stroke!"

A blade of energy, ten meters wide and accompanied by flames, streaked past at high speed, covering a distance of fifty meters.

A ten-meter-long charred knife mark was left on the wall of the Forbidden Ruins Laboratory!

"boom!"

Because he had run out of spiritual energy, Li Lian automatically released the Shikai of Ryujin Jakka. Ryujin Jakka, along with his Shinha armor, disappeared completely, and his legs went weak, causing him to fall directly to the floor.

His lips were dry and cracked, his cheeks were sunken, and he spoke in a dry, hoarse voice:

"Help! Seven Nights, quickly get me some water to replenish my energy!"

Li Lian fainted from dehydration after saying just one sentence. His last thought before losing consciousness was—

Next time, I'll definitely drink plenty of water before I start expelling fluids!!!
