Gu Qianqian had not yet reacted to what had happened when she was already slapped flying by Lin Feiyu.
The scenery before her eyes rapidly retreated.
She only had time to see the figures of Lin Feiyu and Zhou Yuankai tangled into a ball before her entire body fell into the ditch of the sewer.
With a plop, water splashed up.
Gu Qianqian propped herself up with her little hands on the dry branches and rotting leaves in the ditch, preventing her entire body from soaking into the water.
Fortunately when Lin Feiyu threw her the force had been precise.
She had not collided with the ground.
Only her body was wet from the water, carrying an unpleasant rotting smell.
Having no time to feel the pain on her body, Gu Qianqian hurriedly looked in Lin Feiyu’s direction.
One only saw that Lin Feiyu who had just been suppressing the monsters in a beating was now being suppressed by Zhou Yuankai.
Zhou Yuankai’s speed was not slower than hers, and the fists in his hands were as hard as steel.
Boom!
The mechanical man’s punch that swung out afterimages brought a visible force of wind.
It grazed Lin Feiyu’s flickering figure and landed on the sewer wall beside them, directly blasting out a large hole.
Good heavens, how could one after another be this ferocious!
Thinking of her earlier behavior of huffing at the other, Gu Qianqian was glad she had fortunately hidden behind Lin Feiyu.
Yet when the heroine wanted to take this opportunity to counterattack, before the action could be put into practice, the other’s sweeping leg had already kicked over unreasonably.
Almost in the instant she was about to be touched, Lin Feiyu dodged with an unbelievable degree of waist-bending.
Her entire body landed in the ditch, splashing up sprays of water.
Zhou Yuankai walked out from the shadows, his eyes full of surprise and undisguised killing intent.
“At your age, how can you have such skill?”
Although he was asking, Zhou Yuankai’s tone held no intention of obtaining an answer.
Lin Feiyu also had no thought of answering. The pressure the other gave her was too great.
The time since her rebirth was too short.
There had simply been no time to recover to the strength of her previous life.
Yet Lin Feiyu did not intend to give up. She tightly gripped the spiral steel in her hand and attacked once more, bringing a sharp sound of cutting wind.
Zhou Yuankai retreated half a step to avoid the sharp edge.
His mechanical left arm rose to block the steel body—the crisp sound of metal colliding exploded.
The ridges of the spiral steel scraped a string of sparks across the surface of the mechanical arm.
Lin Feiyu followed the momentum and changed the sweep into a thrust.
The end of the spiral steel went straight for the other’s throat.
Zhou Yuankai immediately tilted his head to dodge. The steel bar grazed the skin of his neck side and stabbed into the pipe wall behind.
His grasp of Lin Feiyu’s attack distance had already reached a non-human degree.
There was simply no need to waste extra dodging. He could turn danger into safety!
Lin Feiyu’s heart jumped in shock. Before she could pull back her weapon, Zhou Yuankai had already pressed forward.
His mechanical arm seized the middle section of the spiral steel and twisted fiercely.
Enormous twisting force transmitted from the steel body. Lin Feiyu nearly lost her grip.
She borrowed the force to spin her body and forcefully pulled the steel bar free from the other’s clamp, while at the same time lifting her foot to kick toward Zhou Yuankai’s knee.
Yet the other did not move an inch. Instead a rebound numbness transmitted from her ankle.
The next second, Zhou Yuankai’s right fist smashed down from above.
Lin Feiyu raised the spiral steel horizontally to block.
Fist and steel collided. The concrete slab under her feet shattered with a sound.
Fragments splashed into the accumulated water with plop plop dull sounds.
Intense vibration transmitted from the spiral steel in her hand. It nearly broke.
The enormous force even made blood flow from Lin Feiyu’s palms.
Yet she had no time to adjust.
Those blue pupils of the girl captured the other’s left arm rising once more and immediately withdrew a step and leaned back.
The mechanical arm grazed the silver hair before her forehead, bringing a sharp sound of cutting air. Several beautiful strands of hair were directly severed.
If she had been even a fraction of a second later, Lin Feiyu had no doubt the other would have directly torn apart the skin of her face.
Next, the speed of the two’s offense and defense could no longer be captured by the naked eye.
The spiral steel in Lin Feiyu’s hand swung out afterimages.
Every strike was sufficient to split giant rocks.
Yet when it landed in Zhou Yuankai’s hands it was like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to raise even half a wave.
Straight thrusts, elbow strikes, whip kicks, straight punches…
All the attacks that dazzled Gu Qianqian’s eyes were blocked one by one by Zhou Yuankai.
The cave walls beside the two had already become fragmented.
Concrete that had been poured for who knew how many years was blasted into rotten tofu, exposing the soil layer inside that had been compacted yet was occupied by plant roots and stems.
The water and water weeds in the ditch had already been turned into flying debris amid the two’s rapid offense and defense.
Lin Feiyu was like a flexible silver cat flashing, stretching, and leaping in the narrow space, dodging the other’s attacks.
Yet Zhou Yuankai remained composed and calm. A casual punch would dissolve all of Lin Feiyu’s attacks, then apply a counterattack.
The disparity in strength made the heroine face danger every time.
After only a short three minutes of exchange, wounds had already appeared on her body.
Those were all cuts from the force of the other’s punches.
If she took a punch head-on, even Lin Feiyu would probably meet her end here.
Yet Zhou Yuankai was likewise shocked in his heart. He had seen quite a few powerhouses, yet never one as young as Lin Feiyu who was still a girl and could hold out under his hands for so long.
Whenever he was about to strike the other, Lin Feiyu could always dodge with unbelievable reaction.
Beside them Gu Qianqian watched with burning anxiety. If Lin Feiyu lost here, then neither she nor herself would be able to live!
“Dog System! Dog System! Quick, hurry, is there anything that can help her!?”
“Magic energy gun for 50 Favor Points, need it, dog host?”
“Get lost. I’ve never even used that thing. There’s simply no accuracy!”
“How about poison gas bombs? Just 20 Favor Points can buy a set of 5.”
“Using them in a place like this? Are you wanting me to also inhale the poison gas and die from poisoning?!”
“Then the Demon-Summoning Flute. 50 Favor Points to rent for one day. It can call many monsters.”
“Are you joking!?”
“Taunt Eye, taunts the target to attack itself…”
“Are you thinking I don’t die fast enough?”
“Then Curse Egg. It can make the target fall into mental disorder…”
“Fuck, are you a game system? All of it is this kind of useless garbage!”
The system said pitifully, “Isn’t it because you, dog host, don’t have enough Favor Points? Otherwise how would I recommend these?”
“I’ll give you one last chance. Otherwise I’ll go up and fight desperately myself!”
Seeing Lin Feiyu in constant danger and about to be beaten to death by Zhou Yuankai if no help came, Gu Qianqian at this moment could no longer care about much.
“Mental Spike. 100 Favor Points. An ability that can greatly enhance mental power and carry out attacks.”
“100 points? Your mother’s… can I afford it?”
Up until now Gu Qianqian only had 79 Favor Points on her. It was simply not enough.
“Don’t panic, dog host. I’ll give you a discount. While I’m at it I’ll help you skip the learning process and let you use it directly, alright?”
“But don’t get happy too early. Later the aftereffects will appear doubled, and afterward you’ll still have to learn and master it yourself.”
“Fine! Dog System you finally did a good deed!” Gu Qianqian agreed without even thinking.
Compared to unreliable one-time things like poison gas bombs, exchanging for this was clearly very good.
“Fucking dog host, you forgot I previously gifted you Favor Points, didn’t you!?”
“Hehe, good system. I was just too nervous and said it casually. (〃∀〃)”
Yet just in case, she still asked, “By the way, can this thing help the heroine?”
“Rest assured. Most people in this world don’t have high mental power, and defensive methods are even fewer. It’s guaranteed to work.”
Yet in its heart the system was in pain.
Such a strong skill, how could it only be 100 Favor Points, and even giving the dog host a discount.
Ai.
Hopefully it would not be discovered.
After deducting the dog host’s 79 Favor Points, the system infused the skill Mental Spike into Gu Qianqian’s body.
Because of the Dog System’s help, the processes of digestion, absorption, and negative feedback were skipped.
Gu Qianqian instantly learned Mental Spike.
Before their eyes, Lin Feiyu had just been kicked flying by Zhou Yuankai, crashing into the cave wall and shattering large amounts of concrete and sand.
Immediately she wahed and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Gu Qianqian immediately clenched her fists, her face full of milky ferocity.
Fuck, daring to bully my… cough cough, the heroine. I’ll make you look good!
Gu Qianqian’s cute eyes widened once. Immediately an invisible mental force charged toward Zhou Yuankai.
The dangerous perception instantly made Zhou Yuankai’s scalp tingle. He was very strong, yes.
Fighting Lin Feiyu he had not even used a few tenths of his strength.
Yet regarding defense against mental power, just as the Dog System had said, it was very low!
An indescribable sense of crisis surged into his heart.
In the instant he turned his head to look at Gu Qianqian, a powerful mental force rushed into his mind.
Zhou Yuankai directly staggered once and nearly knelt to the ground.
“Lin Feiyu!” Gu Qianqian shouted once.
Actually there was no need for her reminder. Seeing Zhou Yuankai appear abnormal, although Lin Feiyu did not know what was going on, she gritted her teeth, forcibly endured the intense pain on her body, and took out a Magic Crystal.
Accompanied by a stream of energy injecting into it, Lin Feiyu directly threw the Magic Crystal toward Zhou Yuankai, then immediately ran over, lifted Gu Qianqian, and ran.
Without defense, Zhou Yuankai who had been made dizzy and muddled by Gu Qianqian’s mental attack shook his head and stood up.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. Gu Qianqian’s attack on him only achieved a few seconds of effect.
Yet this was also enough.
Ding ding ding—
Accompanied by the sound of crystal falling to the ground, the Magic Crystal rolled under his feet.
Zhou Yuankai abruptly came back to his senses. An intense sense of crisis exploded throughout his entire body.
The next second.
Boom!!!
A violent explosion occurred at the place where Zhou Yuankai stood.
The entire sewer collapsed. The energy from the explosion dispersed and directly blasted through the ground.
The location was already outside the base.
Yet Lin Feiyu who was pulling Gu Qianqian and sprinting forward finally could not hold on.
After dodging the shockwave of the explosion, she once again spat out a mouthful of blood and her entire body collapsed onto Gu Qianqian.
So soft, so fragrant, so tragic!
Gu Qianqian hurriedly used all the strength she could muster to hold her.
“A-are you alright?”
“Keep going!”
Lin Feiyu urged somewhat weakly. “That fellow might not be dead.”
Fuck?!
Hearing these words, Gu Qianqian was shocked.
Although she did not know why the Magic Crystal would explode, surviving even that—was the mechanical man even human?!
