Chapter 153 Don't Laugh Too Soon



“Nan Zhu, you can’t use a gun.” Shi Yinying added again as the four of them stepped onto the arena.

The audience erupted in uproar.

Nanzhu doesn't have any offensive skills or methods, and now that he can't even use a gun, what's the point of playing?

Upon hearing this, Lin Beiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had recently been able to barely conjure small firearms. One of the people who taught her to shoot was Nan Zhu, and Lin Beiyue was terrified of his shooting skills.

If Nan Zhu dared to point a gun at her, Lin Beiyue felt she would immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.

This guy's marksmanship is practically cheating; "hitting a willow leaf from a hundred paces" is not just an adjective when it comes to Nan Zhu.

However, Shi Yin didn't care about Nan Zhu's marksmanship. It was just fair to Lin Bei Yue. After all, condensing firearms was a new skill that Lin Bei Yue had only recently learned. It was very likely that she would be pinned down while she was still condensing the weapon.

Therefore, Lin Beiyue chose the cold weapon she had practiced the most recently, an alloy machete.

This knife is much sturdier than the machetes that ordinary soldiers carry. Although it looks wider and heavier, it is actually lighter, making it very suitable for Lin Beiyue.

"Everyone step back. There's no training today. Each of you write a report for me." Shi Yin came to the edge of the ring: "Don't write anything fancy or just to fill up the word count. There's no word limit, write as much as you can."

"yes!"

Although they didn't know what Shion was planning to do, everyone perked up.

They usually don't see Shi Yin, but today Shi Yin suddenly appeared and asked them to write reports. Although they don't know why, they must have her own reasons.

Lin Beiyue was the first to be affected. She really wanted to perform well at Shiyin. Recently, the expert group had given her high praise and a lot of compliments, which made Lin Beiyue quite confident in herself.

"Roar—Little girl, watch out!" Xiong Da took the lead, rushing ahead, his height instantly increasing and his fur growing longer, making him look exactly like a bear.

The claws clashed with the steel blade. The steel blade, which had been unscathed when facing Ji Chuan's ordinary cleaver, now bore a clear scratch when facing Lin Beiyue's cleaver.

The moment the machete touched the claws, the electric current, accompanied by high-frequency vibrations, caused Xiong Da's arms to go numb and his whole body to shudder, leaving him frozen in place. Lin Beiyue, on the other hand, was shaken back more than ten steps, almost falling off the stage.

In terms of strength, Lin Beiyue was clearly far inferior.

The crowd suddenly parted to make way, and Shi Yin turned around to see that it was the leader, with the research team of experts behind him. It seemed that they had come to inspect the area.

Today is special, because Shi Yin and the Commander-in-Chief both came.

The expert team wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

I'm so nervous...

"Where is this?" The leader approached Shi Yin and looked at the arena with a puzzled expression.

“They had a one-on-one match before; you can go back and watch the recording.” Shi Yin said calmly, arms crossed, “Now I’ll have them do a two-on-two match.”

"Two against two?" the commander-in-chief asked in surprise.

Two S-d ability users versus one b-E ability user plus an ordinary person?

Isn't this a bit inappropriate?

The expert team around them looked at the lineup on the stage and breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, Ji Chuan's team didn't seem to have a chance of losing.

Ji Chuan and Lin Beiyue were their key training targets, and they were very satisfied with the training results. Their evaluation reports were always rated as excellent or good.

If they lose, wouldn't they be...

"Don't laugh too soon." Shi Yin sensed the experts gradually relaxing and snorted coldly, "Watch closely."

"when--"

Another crisp collision rang out, accompanied by a series of sparks.

Lin Beiyue and Ji Chuan came from the same training group, and their attack methods and learned moves were almost in sync. After realizing that the difference in strength between Lin Beiyue and Xiong Da was too great, Lin Beiyue also chose to change his attack method.

After the machete collided with Xiong Da's claws, it slid down and landed directly on Xiong Da's body, wrapping around half of Xiong Da's arm before slashing at his waist.

The machete did indeed work this time. The blade collided with the hair, sparking a series of sparks, accompanied by a screeching sound, and pieces of hair fell off.

"Uh, ouch, this little girl's got a sharp tongue." Xiong Da stiffened for a moment from the pain, but he quickly regained his balance and didn't back down despite the pain.

His strength is inherently defensive, unlike other ability users who might feel lost. Xiong Da has always been clear about his own strength; he likes to charge forward and stand in front of everyone. He is more determined than anyone else.

Therefore, even though the machete left marks on his body that made him wince in pain, Xiong Da remained standing in place, without taking a single step back.

"Lin Beiyue, to the right!" Ji Chuan called out in time to remind him.

Lin Beiyue instinctively raised her machete to the right to block, but with a clang, a heavy blow struck her blade, causing her to stumble two steps to the left.

Nan Zhu had somehow circled around to Lin Beiyue's side. Nan Zhu was so fast that he kicked the knife, and the blade didn't even have time to release its electric shock.

"well--"

A sigh, a plaintive lament, immediately made Xiong Da and Nan Zhu stop.

However, Lin Beiyue was also clearly disturbed. She was holding a knife and was about to regain her balance and counterattack when she was disturbed and her whole body froze.

Lin Beiyue was affected much more severely than Nan Zhu. She almost dropped the knife in her hand. After realizing what had happened, she didn't care about anything else and quickly lowered her head and rolled on the ground.

Fortunately, Lin Beiyue reacted quickly. Nan Zhu's side kick almost grazed her cheek. If Lin Beiyue had reacted even a second slower, she would probably be out of the game now.

"Wow! Ji Chuan! Are you even capable?!" Lin Beiyue gritted her teeth in anger: "Stop using your special ability right now, just come at me directly, okay?!"

"Are you telling me to just come up and fight?" Ji Chuan was completely dumbfounded.

Under normal circumstances, he couldn't beat either of the two opponents; he's aware of that much.

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Ji Chuan stepped forward, and Lin Beiyue immediately stepped back and covered her ears.

Although emotional abilities are unrelated to whether or not one covers their ears, and one will still be affected even if one cannot hear anything, it is better than nothing. Lin Beiyue really hates this feeling of being unable to control her emotions.

"Alas, why—" Ji Chuan gripped the machete in his hand, took a step forward, and this time he said a few more words, each one filled with sorrow.

Almost everyone present hallucinated that their most important person was standing in front of them, their back to them lonely, turning back to look at them with sorrowful eyes and questioning them why, as if they had committed some heinous crime.

Below the arena, the air seemed to distort, as if some transparent barrier was hindering the spread of emotions.

Shi Yin stood calmly at the front, easily defusing the aftershocks of her emotional powers.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes widened as a trail of bright red was left on the arena. The vivid red stood out starkly against the snow-white alloy arena.

Nan Zhu slashed his own left arm, then, without stopping, twirled the dagger in his right hand before thrusting it straight at Ji Chuan's eyes.
