Beside the fire, a woman wearing loose khaki overalls and a tight long-sleeved top lay sprawled on a chair, holding a fruit plate in her hands. She ate fruit while her legs, which were draped over the armrests of the chair, swayed back and forth, looking quite relaxed and carefree.

Like the woman in front of him, who looks completely defenseless, he still hasn't figured out her strength.

Li Xin'er tilted her head slightly, looking at the dark sky, and noticed his gaze.

"What, wondering what level my superpower is?"

Feeling caught red-handed, Lu Jin'an immediately looked away, grabbed the towel he used to wipe his sweat from his backpack, draped it around his neck, and walked towards the fire.

"Hmm, I'm a little curious."

Once he was seen through, he stopped trying to hide it and spoke his mind directly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xin'er immediately sat up, placed the fruit plate she was holding on the small table next to her, and said without any modesty:

"You can forget about using your superpowers. I can take care of you without even lifting a finger."

Lu Jin'an paused in wiping his sweat, then continued somewhat dejectedly.

He believed she was telling the truth.

Then, Li Xin'er continued with great interest:

"However, I can do without my special abilities. Shall we spar?"

I've been sitting on the plane all day traveling, and since we're currently on the plane, I haven't been able to move around much, so I'm getting a bit bored.

Lu Jin'an didn't expect her to bring it up herself; this suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

Everyone in the military camp knew that Lu Jin'an was a living, breathing fighting god. If he didn't move his body for a day, he would feel uncomfortable as if he had insects biting him.

In the past, almost no one in the military camp could escape this fate. They were all taken by him to be sparring partners, and none of them escaped with a terrible end.

This also led to his reputation as a killing machine spreading, and people would avoid him whenever they saw him.

Lu Jin'an's eyes now shone brightly as he stared at Li Xin'er.

"good!"

When it comes to sparring, all he sees is battle! The shyness he used to have, when he wouldn't even dare look at Li Xin'er, has completely vanished.

The main theme is a two-stage reversal...

Li Xin'er clapped her hands and stood up. "I won't hold back."

Lu Jin'an was even more satisfied upon hearing this, "Okay, I will also do my best."

The two avoided the tent area and walked to a spacious area nearby.

Li Xin'er didn't use her soul power, and Lu Jin'an didn't use his special abilities; the two of them fought each other with real fist and foot techniques.

Li Xin'er didn't know exactly how strong Lu Jin'an was, but when he made his move, he certainly didn't hold back.

However, she underestimated the gap between herself and the world. When she raised her fist, Lu Jin'an reacted a beat too late.

He took the full force of Li Xin'er's first punch to the shoulder and staggered backward.

Lu Jin'an couldn't hide the surprise in her eyes, and her long, raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled uncontrollably.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xin'er had a general idea of ​​what was happening. She restrained some of her strength and kicked out again.

"Captain Lu, getting distracted during a battle is not a good habit."

Lu Jin'an reacted quickly, turning her head to dodge and raising her hand to block.

"Feel sorry."

He quickly composed himself, throwing himself into the task with unwavering determination, his eyes brimming with the passion and excitement of overcoming any setback.

With Li Xin'er in control, the two fought back and forth for quite a while.

However, as Lu Jin'an struggled more and more, he also realized from the seemingly relaxed Li Xin'er that she had been giving him pointers all along.

After Li Xin'er got tired of it, she stopped and told everyone to stop.

"Okay, that's enough for now."

For Lu Jin'an, this was a rare and exhilarating battle, and he sincerely said to Li Xin'er:

"Thanks!"

Li Xin'er didn't refuse. She turned around, walked over, and sat back down. Compared to Lu Jin'an, who was drenched in sweat, she seemed to have just moved around a little and showed no reaction at all.

She still offered a fair assessment: "You're quite good; in this world, you're definitely one of the best."

Lu Jin'an understood the unspoken meaning in her words: This world?

So, she's not from this world? Although it seems unbelievable, thinking about it this way, perhaps everything makes sense.

He didn't dwell on that topic, but instead continued talking about their recent exchange.

"There are still many shortcomings. My speed has always been a weakness. After gaining superpowers, the improvements in all aspects have benefited me a lot."

"However, now when facing zombies, we rely more on our superpowers, and our fighting techniques haven't improved much."

Li Xin'er turned her head and asked, "What level is your superpower?"

She felt that there was no need to worry about Lu Jin'an's current skills, just as he said, he was using his superpowers more often now.

She had sparred with Carl before and could tell that Lu Jin'an was stronger than Carl.

However, Carl's moves are all simple and direct, taking lives by any means necessary, while Lu Jin'an's moves are too 'gentlemanly'. If the two really fought, aside from factors like superpowers, it's really hard to say who would win or lose.

Lu Jin'an didn't hide anything, "I have a Devouring type ability, currently at level three."

Li Xin'er nodded. She had seen his special ability before, just like Er Sha's.

Ersha's strength is only at level three because of the spiritual spring water in her space, while Lu Jin'an has real ability and strength on her own.

However, this reminded Li Xin'er of the ultimate villain zombie in the book, who possessed a devouring ability.

She couldn't help but glance at Lu Jin'an a few more times, wondering if it was possible that it was Lu Jin'an.

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze, Lu Jin'an turned around, picked up a stick from the ground, and added more wood to the fire.

Li Xin'er also snapped out of her thoughts, "Level three is currently considered the most powerful. Among all ability users, the Devouring type is also a very strong fighter..."

Li Xin'er told Lu Jin'an everything she knew about the Devouring System.

Lu Jin'an listened attentively, and from time to time he would ask questions about his superpowers that he didn't understand.

After their conversation, Lu Jin'an looked at Li Xin'er with intense admiration.

He thought for a moment, then tentatively asked Li Xin'er,

"May I become your disciple?"

Li Xin'er had just picked up her cup to drink water when she heard this and was so surprised she almost choked, wondering if she had misheard.

"What did you say?"

Lu Jin'an turned to face Li Xin'er, his face respectful and sincere, and repeated himself earnestly.

"I want to become your disciple."

He quickly explained, "It's not for any other reason. I just know you're very skilled, both in terms of techniques and abilities. I still have a lot to learn. If you don't mind, could you give me a chance? I'll learn diligently from you, and I promise I won't..."

Lu Jin'an made a solemn promise, but Li Xin'er quickly waved her hand to interrupt him.

"No, no, no, I have no intention of taking on disciples."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Lu Jin'an's eyes. Before she could speak, Li Xin'er placed her cup on the table beside her and continued:

"I've said everything I needed to say about your special ability. You can level up at your current pace without any problems."

Lu Jin'an retorted hastily, "Not just superpowers."
