After leaving the dormitory, Linna went to the team's training room.
He won't go to Ancheng until tomorrow. Today was supposed to be a day off, but Lin Nai has gotten used to the daily training schedule, so even though it's a day off, he doesn't plan to rest.
Upon arriving at the team's training room, Linnai discovered that the lights were on.
It seems he's not the only diligent person...
Lin Nai walked in and saw Mu Xun sitting cross-legged on a chair outside the Soul Energy Pressure Training Room, with his bronze sword placed beside him.
Sensing Lin Nai's presence, Mu Xun slowly opened his eyes.
"Did I disturb you?" Lin Nai walked over with a smile and said, "You are really hardworking, even on your day off you are here."
Mu Xun didn't respond, but simply gestured forward with his chin.
"Hmm?" Lin Nai looked in the direction he was pointing.
It turns out Fang Wu was also there.
"Huff... Hah... Huff... Hah...!"
"Hoo... Ha...!"
"Hoo... Ha...!"
Fang Wu was lying face down in the soul energy pressure training room, his muscles bulging, veins popping on his arms, and his whole body drenched in sweat as if he were soaked in oil, doing push-ups one after another: "327...328...329..."
Lin Nai stroked her chin: "He's really working hard..."
Mu Xun said, "You can take a look at the numerical display on the wall."
"Oh?" Lin Nai turned her head to look when she heard this.
The screen above displays: 1200cl
Lin Nai: "Good heavens... is this kid risking his life here?"
Mu Xun glanced at it and said indifferently, "He seems to have been provoked by someone. These past few days, he has been coming here every day after his daily classes and training."
"Did someone provoke you?" Lin Nai asked, confused. "Who? You?"
Mu Xun: "......"
“It seems this child has suffered quite a shock.” Lin Nai frowned. “I’m telling you, Mu Xun, you have to take responsibility for him.”
"?" Mu Xun paused for a moment: "I'll take responsibility?"
“Yes,” Lin Nai said indignantly, “Isn’t it all because you beat him in the national competition that this kid has become like this?”
Mu Xun: "......"
"Back in the national competition, Fang Wu was such a spirited and ambitious kid..."
Lin Nai still remembered Fang Wu's words when they first met, that he would eliminate him. She sighed and said, "Given his personality, he must care a lot about winning and losing, and he's afraid of letting down his elders, instructors, teachers, relatives, neighbors, and classmates... As a result, you beat him so badly that he's still questioning his life. You've damaged his confidence, so you can't just abandon him, can you?"
Mu Xun: "......"
"Ah...!" After persisting in doing 350 push-ups, Fang Wu finally couldn't hold on any longer and was pressed heavily to the ground by the pressure of the soul energy. He couldn't move and frowned, revealing an expression of unbearable pain.
Upon seeing this, Lin Nai immediately picked up the remote control and turned off the soul energy pressure in the room.
"Huff... huff..."
Without the pressure of soul energy, Fang Wu lay on the ground for a while before finally slowly getting up and raising his head: "Lin Nai?"
Lin Nai leaned against the wall with her arms crossed: "Although I can understand your desire to become stronger and get revenge on Mu, forcing growth will cause you to lose your potential and upper limit."
As she spoke, Lin Nai took out a potion from her pocket to restore physical and spiritual strength and tossed it to Fang Wu.
Fang Wu took the medicine, remained silent for a while, and then jumped up from the ground with a somersault.
Then, with a serious expression, he gradually clenched his fists and slowly walked straight to Lin Nai and Mu Xun.
Linnaeus: "..."
Mu Xun: "......"
Lin Nai turned her head, glanced at Mu Xun, and asked with her eyes, "Oh no, this kid seems to have been a bit obsessed with you. What's he trying to do by suddenly becoming so serious?"
Mu Xun glanced at Lin Nai: 'How should I know?'
"I want to fight you one-on-one, Linnai." Fang Wu's gaze was solemn as he raised his fist, which was covered in blood from training, and pointed it straight at him: "Please fight me!"
Lin Nai sighed: "Look, Mu Xun, he still cares a lot about that match with you, doesn't he? Hurry up and go have a match with him."
“…” Mu Xun paused, then reminded him, “He said he wanted to fight you one-on-one.”
"Huh?" Lin Nai was stunned for a moment. When she looked up, she realized that Fang Wu's fist was aimed at her.
Fang Wu's gaze, burning like a raging fire, was fixed on him with intense passion.
"Why?" Lin Nai looked puzzled. "He was the one who beat you in the national competition, not me. Why are you challenging me to a one-on-one match?"
“Because I know you are stronger than him.” Fang Wu’s eyes were firm: “Lin Nai, I’ve wanted to fight you for a long time.”
"..." Lin Nai sensed a hint of trouble and turned to look at Mu Xun: "Hey, he said I'm better than you, are you just going to accept that? Aren't you going to refute him?"
Mu Xun said expressionlessly, "I don't care, and what he said doesn't make any problem."
Linnaeus: "..."
Damn it!
Aren't the successors of your Guigu Academy always number one?
As the first person from Guigu to become number two, don't you have any resentment at all?
What kind of lazy disciple of Guiguzi is this?!
"Linnai," Fang Wu said seriously, "please fight me. I want to see just how big the gap is between us."
Linnaeus: "..."
......
Five minutes later.
Lin Nai and Fang Wu entered the virtual training room together.
"Do we need to choose a battle scene?" Lin Nai asked, her hands in her hoodie pockets. "Or, how about we just pick an open space?"
"Okay," Fang Wu said, "Let's use an open space."
A beam of light shone from beneath their feet.
Enveloped the two of them.
Mu Xun sat outside the virtual training room, quietly watching the battle.
"Buzz—"
Linnaeus and Fang Wu landed on a scene in the Gobi Desert.
This scene is indeed an entire wasteland, stretching as far as the eye can see, with not a blade of grass growing anywhere.
The scene was at dusk, with the sun gradually setting in the west, casting a blood-red sunset over the earth.
"bring it on!"
Fang Wu roared, got into a fighting stance, and immediately launched a powerful kick and punch!
Lin Nai: "...You're really in a hurry."
Fang Wu's swift straight punch arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye!
