"that's all?"
"Yes, it's perfect. I'll send it to Qin Lian later and ask her if she wants to change anything... By the way, why don't you call her over?"
"She's not free tonight. It looks like she's staying out."
"Why……?"
The door of Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu's dormitory bedroom (the dormitory is divided into a living room and two bedrooms) in the Tianlian College girls' dormitory was suddenly pushed open. Lin Xianyu walked in with two bags of midnight snacks and said, "Crayfish and fried snails, come and eat!"
Ren Xingmei scratched her face and gave a forced smile: "Aren't you afraid of getting acne after eating these things?"
"Are monks afraid of getting acne?" Lin Xianyu put down his food and said, "I eat like this every day and nothing happens to me. Look how smooth my face is and how good my skin is—"
"Your hands are getting better because they're constantly regenerating." Gu Yueyan said unhappily, "I just changed into my pajamas. I don't eat anything that can easily stain my clothes."
"I knew you would say that, so I also bought cheesecake." Lin Xianyu smiled and took out a small cake, put it on Gu Yueyan's table, and cut it into several pieces for the two of them.
Gu Yueyan glanced at Lin Xianyu unhappily, hesitated for a moment, and said to Ren Xingmei: "Well, Xianyu will be the fifth author..."
"I'm sure it's okay, Qin Lian will probably agree." Ren Xingmei smiled and said, "It's just a small essay, and Xianyu did help us."
Helping to buy midnight snacks is also helping.
However, in their small circle, Lin Xianyu is almost like a happy person. If there is benefit and it does not cost much, they are naturally willing to bring Lin Xianyu along - and the first author of this article "On the Relationship between the Monkey King's Rampage in Heaven in Journey to the West and the Modern Monkey King's Rampage in Heaven" is Gu Yueyan, and she has the greatest say.
Lin Xianyu gently pushed Gu Yueyan: "Squad leader, it doesn't matter if you don't take me with you..."
"If you don't plan to stay in school to teach in the future, do you really plan to go to the Countermeasures Bureau to be a fighter?" Gu Yueyan glared at Lin Xianyu: "You can follow us to earn research points now, and even if your grades are not good in the future, you can still strive to stay in school... If you have good grades and can do research with us, I won't have to work so hard."
Lin Xianyu giggled twice, picked up the cheesecake and brought it to Gu Yueyan's mouth, and said with a smile: "The class monitor is too cute, so I don't want to study."
Although Lin Xianyu didn't think there was anything wrong with going to the Countermeasures Bureau to be a combat monk, she knew that the squad leader was doing it for her own good and didn't want her to fight and kill in the future, so she accepted the kindness frankly and reciprocated in her own way - feeding was her way of currying favor.
"What is the logical relationship between these two things?" Gu Yueyan, who was eating cheesecake, was stunned.
"So you mean to admit that you are cute?" Lin Xianyu laughed: "The class monitor is so narcissistic~"
"I don't...I..." Gu Yueyan was at a loss for words, so he raised his hand knife and chopped Lin Xianyu, then angrily finished eating the cheesecake. Ren Xingmei, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Then I'm going back today."
"Okay, bye."
"Xiao Xingxing, are you also going back to Brother Ren's house tonight?" Lin Xianyu asked with his head tilted.
"No need. Teacher Dong will take Xiaojiu away when he comes back. I will go back to the dormitory to sleep tonight." Ren Xingmei shrugged.
“Why don’t you go to Brother Ren’s house to sleep? You can have the whole house to yourself~” Lin Xianyu said with a hint of envy: “Even if you don’t wake up, you won’t be woken up——”
Gu Yueyan glanced at Lin Xianyu and said, "If I hadn't woken you up, how many times would you have been late this semester?"
“How can we call it a quarrel when it comes to squad leader matters? That’s the call of love…” Lin Xianyu immediately changed her words, and Gu Yueyan’s body shuddered when he heard that.
"But, when will Brother Ren come back? I don't dare to practice awakening spells anymore, for fear that I might break my hand and won't be able to find anyone to heal it..."
As soon as Lin Xianyu said this, the bedroom suddenly became quiet.
Ren Xingmei spread her hands and said softly, "I don't sleep at my brother's place because he's not here. If he's not at home, I might as well go back to sleep in the dormitory."
Lin Xianyu thought that he had made a mistake, so he turned his head to glance at Gu Yueyan and found that the squad leader was staring at the computer screen in a daze.
The three of them also knew that Brother Ren was probably helping Deputy Director Qiao - they had helped take care of Ren Xiaojiu a few days ago. And there was no news about Ren Suo these days. When they thought about the fact that Ren Suo was a good friend of Deputy Director Qiao who was on the run, it was easy for them to guess.
As time goes by, they gradually understand what kind of situation Ren Suo and Qiao Muyi are in: they are on the run from the world's pursuit.
Their enemy is the whole world.
Feeling the atmosphere was very uncomfortable, Lin Xianyu blushed and blurted out: "Brother Ren is a lazy man, he will be fine!"
Ren Xingmei and Gu Yueyan were stunned. Shouldn't the normal saying be "Good people live a peaceful life"? What does your "lazy people have nothing to worry about" rule mean?
"Brother Ren is just like me. He is most afraid of trouble and fighting. He will definitely be smart enough to avoid all troubles and will not use risky methods to solve problems." Lin Xianyu said: "A lazy person will definitely try every possible way to avoid danger!"
Ren Xingmei blinked and smiled knowingly: "Yeah...my brother is that kind of person."
Gu Yueyan also snorted and said with a smile: "Xianyu, you know yourself very well..."
The heavy atmosphere finally eased. Ren Xingmei stood up to say goodbye, looked at the time, and exclaimed, "It's past curfew."
"Then what should we do?" Gu Yueyan was slightly stunned - the access control system of their dormitory is very strict. Although they can still enter and exit normally, if they enter and exit after the access control time, it will be registered by the system and moral education points will be deducted.
"It's okay, I can just jump down. My dormitory is on the second floor and it's easy to get up there." Ren Xingmei made a normal and martial arts suggestion in a relaxed tone. However, as a first-level cultivator who is proficient in the spell "Clothes", she can indeed perform this operation easily.
Ren Xingmei walked to the balcony, and Gu Yueyan followed her because he was afraid that something might happen to her. Lin Xianyu naturally followed her because he wanted to see her jump off the building.
"Today's moon...is a waning moon."
The weather in Lianjiang is very good today, with no dark clouds in the sky. They go to the balcony and can observe the bright moon hanging in the night sky.
Ren Xingmei looked at the moon in the night sky, slightly dazed - there was actually one thing she hadn't told them, which was that the day before her brother left, he told their mother that he would delay returning home.
The hidden meaning of this action forced Ren Xingmei, who had been sleeping on Ren Suo's bed these days, to hug Ren Suo's pillow tightly to slightly relieve the panic in her heart.
Brother, can you see the moon now? Are you safe now? Did you not fight? Are you not injured?
Sister Qiao, I am really envious and jealous of you now.
…
…
Among the extraordinary people chasing the Demon King in the gravel plain, the six fourth-turn strongmen are undoubtedly the most dazzling existence.
However, in their hearts, the six of them had already secretly divided themselves into two groups.
The first group includes You Jian from Xuan Country and Bright from the Federation.
The second group includes Sakura Anzi from Fanying, Daze from the South American Union, and Ursa from Winterhold.
To be able to become fourth-turn masters, they are not fools - well, even if some of them are fools, the countries behind them are not fools, and have already conducted a detailed analysis of all the powerful extraordinary people in the world through intelligence warfare.
Among them, You Jian and Bright are the most unquestionably powerful. They both have records of defeating huge sources of chaos alone, and are proficient in long-range, melee and defense.
Sakura Anzi, Dai Ze and Ursa have fewer records of attacks and their battle records are not as good as the first two, so naturally they regard each other as being on the same level.
The only exception is Kader of the Wizard Council, a very strange and powerful man - his combat record is more terrifying than You Jian and Brett. All his kill records are through long-range sniping, achieving the effect of killing with one shot, without exception.
However, each of his sniping attacks requires a long time to prepare, so his strength fluctuates the most: if he is not prepared, he is the weakest; once he is fully prepared, he is the strongest who can deprive anyone of the same level of their life.
Therefore, when Sakura Anzi, Dai Ze and Ursa took the lead, they immediately reached a consensus: they must not let Xuan Country and the Federation get the Demon King!
Xuan Country relies on the power of the Fairy Palace to suppress the world. The Federation is an old and powerful country with profound foundation. They must not be allowed to obtain such powerful abilities as the Demon King. Otherwise, their advantage in the wave of spiritual energy recovery will become greater and greater, and other countries will no longer have the opportunity to surpass them!
Among the three of them, no matter who kills the Demon King, the threat to the other two families will be relatively small!
Having made up their minds, the three of them immediately tried their best to circulate the cyclone and use their best skills to kill the demon with one blow!
The first to attack was Shadow Dezun. He suddenly stopped, slammed his crystal skull staff into the ground, and let out a hoarse roar: "Dezun!"
"Stab them, Shadow!"
"Shadow·Deadly Eclipse Mist"!
Dai Ze's shadow on the ground instantly turned into steaming dark mist and shot towards the Demon King and his followers at the speed of an arrow!
Qiao Muyi, who had been paying attention to the movements behind her, was alarmed - the attack of a fourth-level strongman was no joke. She could feel that the dark fog was full of fatal corrosive damage, and it was very likely that even the defensive barrier would be ineffective against the dark fog!
However, at this moment, Ren Suo was not in a hurry. He casually swung his hand back and shot out a whirlwind!
"Storm Control"!
Although the black fog came with great force, its effect was greatly weakened after it was shot out of a distance of 100 meters. Moreover, the storm spell, which was almost its natural enemy, could only be destroyed by the whirlwind and dissipated into the air without direction.
Because Dai Ze was standing still and casting spells, he was already more than ten meters behind, so naturally he could not catch up.
At this time, Sakura Anko, who was holding a three-meter-long spear, felt that the distance had reached the critical state, so she directly bombarded the ground with the spear, bent the spear with her slender arms, turned herself into a bow and arrow, and shot straight at the Demon King!
Qiao Muyi knew that Sakura Anzi, the 'best gunner in the world', was the most trusted trump card in the Spirit Hall. She had terrifying close combat skills and had once killed a fifty-meter-level source of trouble all by herself. If they were approached by Sakura Anzi, they would definitely be entangled... or even killed by her!
At this time, she heard Ren Suo whispering softly: "Fortunately, the moon is beautiful today."
As he spoke, Ren Suo crossed the sky and instantly shot out two shining, bright crescent moons!
"The waxing and waning of the moon"!
"Crescent Moon Sky Chong!" he roared.
Sakura Anko was also stunned for a moment when she saw the crescent moon in front of her, but she was flying in the air now and could not dodge, so she had to swing her spear and chop at the crescent moon halo.
However, when she saw the crescent moon shattered in an instant, her face suddenly turned black - such a weak attack, you are worthy of shouting "Crescent Moon Sky Rush"? "Crescent Moon Sky Worm" is more like it, shame!
But the castration was stopped because of this, and Sakura Anzi had no choice but to use her secret technique directly in mid-air at this distance -
The spear was pointed directly at the Demon King, and the tip of the spear glowed bright red. Her petite body emitted spiritual vibrations, and she spun the spear in the air without support. The light at the tip of the spear quickly condensed, and then Sakura Anko shouted loudly, and a sonic boom was created out of thin air!
The red light at the tip of the gun instantly turned into a bright red flying bird and shot towards the Demon King at a rapid speed!
"Fantasy Secret Technique: Moon Asuka in Halo"!
Just when Qiao Muyi thought that Ren Suo was going to use some magic to resist the flying bird, Ren Suo suddenly took out the Sealing Rod that he had not thrown away, and threw it at the flying bird with the help of the whirlwind!
When Sakura Anzi saw this scene, she was dumbfounded - as a powerful person relied on by the Spirit Hall, she was known as the 'number one gunner in the world', and the secret skills she had created with great effort must have their own unique features.
If the demon follower wanted to use aura attacks to stop Fei Niao, unless the aura density of his spells could be higher than that of Sakura Anzi's highly concentrated Fei Niao, Fei Niao, which could pierce all spells with low aura concentrations, would definitely teach him a lesson.
But when he first encountered a flying bird, he actually used a physical prop to intercept the bird, and even used spells to calibrate the direction and hit the bird accurately!
As expected, the moment the red bird hit the sealing staff, an astonishing explosion occurred, and the sharp spear light in the bird's body dug a flat semicircular pit with a radius of three meters!
I have to continue to improve Asuka in the future, and at least add a delayed explosion program... Sakura Kyoko smiled bitterly.
In fact, such accidents rarely occur, because the correct way to use Asuka is not to throw it out, but in close combat, Sakura Anzi can cause explosive damage unexpectedly and destroy all armor - the killing distance with a radius of three meters is obviously carefully calculated by her.
Because of being intercepted and attacked, she fell behind by more than ten meters, and it was now very difficult for her to catch up.
On the other side, Ren Suo secretly exclaimed that it was a close call - he originally wanted to use the whirlwind and moonlight to intercept the bird directly, but just before he attacked, the "Day of Advancement" strengthened by "Demon King's Coming·Decree" made him realize that the attack of a rank 4 strongman could never be intercepted so easily.
You won't know until you use it, and you'll be surprised when you use it - it turns out that his bonding ability has gradually increased to this level.
At this time, the thunder bear Ursa, who had been following them, gradually approached. But he did not stop to cast a spell, nor did he rush over. Instead, his whole body burst into lightning, and while rushing, his hands kept hitting the ground!
When his huge thunder claws slammed into the ground, arcs of lightning shot out and chased along the ground!
"Thunder shakes the earth"!
Ursa the Thunder Bear is a Winterhold warrior who is proficient in both long-range and melee combat, physical attacks, and spell attacks. He also has extremely strong defense and mobility. Although he is not as good as the almighty Blade of the End, Bright, he is also a strong man that cannot be ignored.
However, after the previous confrontation, Qiao Muyi now has full confidence in Ren Suo - using ice and fire spells to create a white fog environment to prevent the enemy from attacking, using whirlwind spells to disperse the black fog, and using moonlight spells and props to prevent the spearman's sudden attack...
How would he deal with Ursa's attack?
However, when the lightning arc caught up with him, Ren Suo simply shifted his position slightly, allowing his body to block the lightning arc rushing on the ground.
At this moment, Ren Suo let go of Qiao Muyi's hand.
Snap.
White-blue lightning flashed on Ren Suo's body. Ren Suo kept walking, but his body trembled slightly and his throat made an uncomfortable sound as if he was choking on shit.
"You——" When Qiao Muyi saw this scene, her pupils suddenly shrank and she shouted out.
"Walk!"
"I!"
"without!"
"thing!"
Every time Ren Suo spoke a word, his body felt an electric shock. When he said the fourth word, dirty black blood came out of his throat.
The lightning arc attack of a supernatural being is naturally not an ordinary lightning strike, it will also cause varying degrees of damage to the body.
Ren Suo wiped the black blood from the corner of his mouth, gave Qiao Muyi a thumbs up, showed a smile that looked like crying, and said in a trembling voice: "I am... proficient... in taking hits... I can heal myself later--"
In fact, Ren Suo was not lying. His "gauze clothes" had been strengthened, which greatly reduced his pain. Although he would still be injured by the lightning arc of a fourth-level strongman, the pain would be suppressed to a range that Ren Suo could tolerate - basically equivalent to touching the motherboard of a computer that is powered on with your finger.
Although it was still very uncomfortable, and the human body could hardly endure electric shock, Ren Suo was a third-level cultivator after all, and he could already achieve "only pain but no numbness". Even if he was electrocuted, he would not lose his mobility and could still continue to escape.
After getting electrocuted while playing games, Ren Suo felt that he had reached a new milestone in his life as a gamer.
But in Qiao Muyi's opinion, Ren Suo was vomiting blood again, and his voice was trembling, and he was obviously showing off.
She bit her red lips so hard that she almost broke her lower lip. She had no intention of helping Ren Suo block the lightning arc. She knew that she couldn't do it either. She might even be paralyzed and fall down by the lightning arc, which would result in both of them being captured.
She is not the little princess in the movies who can do whatever she wants and act like a spoiled brat.
She is the protagonist, the protagonist who wants to protect the people she loves, the protagonist who wants to turn the situation around!
Qiao Muyi's gaze passed over Ren Suo and looked towards the back at the Thunder Bear Ursa, who was getting closer and closer and constantly shooting out large arcs of lightning.
Her gaze became extremely cold, and the chilling murderous intent caused a resonance of negative emotions, causing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to become restless.
Thanks to Ren Suo, she was able to mobilize a lot of negative emotions, so much so that she could create an uninterrupted fireworks display for Ren Suo from sunset to sunrise.
But facing a fourth-turn strongman, stopping means failure, and being entangled means death.
In this gamble with fate, she only has one chip, and it is a chip that she cannot lose.
So, just one hit!
With one strike, this thunder bear must be turned into a bear!
