Chapter 115
After flying for the Nth time, Yu Tu finally realized that the spear was not suitable for him!
He threw the spear aside with regret, and then took the whip hanging from his waist. The whip is a bit like a vine, soft and flexible. Maybe it would be better to learn how to use a whip?
After experiencing several painful defeats, Yu Tu also discovered a pattern: every time he came out of the medical formation, the opposing sparring partner would move after he launched an attack.
Yu Tu threw down his gun, and the spear in the hand of the sparring partner opposite him also disappeared and was replaced by a whip.
Yu Tu did not act rashly this time. He closed his eyes and recalled the posture of the vines attacking before. The whip dangled in his hand but he never swung it.
The body of the vest of Buyehou is filled with energy. Strictly speaking, Buyehou is a creature completely condensed from energy, but his original body is different. Yu Tu has already sensed the wood-attributed spiritual energy in his original body.
After getting rid of the restlessness and worries in his heart, Yu Tu felt himself slowly entering into a mysterious state. In every group of spiritual energy around him, there seemed to be light spots of different colors playing and chasing each other. Yu Tu tried to catch the small green light spots - the difficulty was no less than catching fish with bare hands in a pond.
The little fish were very cunning and always slipped away from Yu Tu's hands. Yu Tu tried for a while but didn't catch many. He didn't get discouraged, but changed his method and used the remaining wood attribute spiritual power in his body to "fish". Spiritual energy of the same attribute is always easy to attract each other.
With Yu Tu's tireless efforts, he finally gathered a small ball. Yu Tu carefully guided this small ball of wood-attributed spiritual energy to attach to the whip in his hand - using spiritual power to attach to an object to attack, the attack power will double.
“Bang!”
The whip imbued with spiritual power attacked fiercely, yet also had a hint of plant toughness. Yu Tu's whip finally encountered an obstacle—it was the first time he attacked a real object.
The method is feasible!
But before he could be happy, a familiar perspective came rushing over and he flew up again.
The mechanical sound that I had heard several times sounded again:
【Yu Tu failed and switched to medical treatment. 】
Yu Tu: “…”
He wants to write a big word of misfortune for himself!
The cold report never stopped. Teacher Wu, who stayed on the first floor, sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes fixed on the screen projected by his watch.
"Tsk." He showed a gloating smile on his face, "In less than an hour, each person went to the medical array five times - you little brats, you're going to have a hard time!"
In the competition tower, the sparring partners will become stronger when facing a strong opponent and weaker when facing a weak opponent. The strength of the sparring partners is two to five times their basic data. Only if they are not directly drawn into the medical formation in the next ten moves can they get out smoothly.
Because of this mechanism, it would be very difficult to finish the class in five hours, let alone two. Another teacher who taught in the afternoon was already prepared to see very few people.
Sure enough, after one hour, there was no one at the door. After two hours, there was still no one at the door.
Teacher Wu blew a whistle. No one came out within two hours. As a teacher, he had the authority to check the second-level surveillance and pay attention to his students' ups and downs, no, their mental and physical health.
*
After spending almost four hours and enduring ten moves of his own sparring, Yu Tu finally managed to get out of the second floor with great difficulty. As soon as he came out, he was met with Teacher Wu's annoying smile:
"The tea tree seedlings have grown. Don't forget to train them for four hours after 6pm~"
While using the second-level surveillance to watch these students screaming, Teacher Wu also matched all of their names and faces—the majority were human children, there were a dozen from the demon tribe, and there was only this one child from the plant tribe.
Although he was defeated extremely quickly in the beginning, in the last few minutes, his whip technique began to take shape.
Yu Tu said weakly: "Goodbye, teacher."
He felt as if his limbs were filled with lead, and the crisp or dull sounds of the whip still echoed in his ears. In the residual light, there seemed to be the fierce and sharp shadow of the whip, which made him want to dodge reflexively.
The second floor of the Arena Tower is really too brutal QAQ.
Yu Tu dragged his heavy body to the nearest cafeteria to have lunch. All the familiar faces on the first floor were half dead, and it seemed that no one escaped the devastation.
What’s worse is that because I was delayed for so long, I had to get ready for afternoon classes after dinner and couldn’t go back to the dormitory to take a nap.
Yu Tu: “…”
On the first day of school, he understood why the graduation rate of this school was so low. After all the hardships of military training and the style of classes, those with a weak mentality would have to drop out directly.
The afternoon class was about some basic knowledge of the inner world. Yu Tu had already learned most of it in the small classroom of the Plant Clan, so he decided to board the ship of the Buyehou to wake up.
Back at the teahouse, as usual, Yu Tu brought a large bowl of dog food to Xiao Hui, and picked up an unfinished book and started reading.
Because it is the consciousness that controls the body, even after changing his vest, he still felt the sound of a whip breaking through the air in his head, the shadow of the whip swaying in front of his eyes, and the pain of being beaten seemed to still remain on his body.
Yu Tu stared at a certain part of the book and began to daydream without realizing it. He didn't even hear the knock on the door. It was the little gray boy who was addicted to dog food who ran over to open the door.
The person standing outside the door is an acquaintance—one who has become familiar with the place by feeding it with all kinds of delicious food.
"Hello, Xiao Hui!" Liu Jia greeted Xiao Hui as he entered the room, and then cast his eyes behind the counter, "Hello, senior!"
He originally thought that their mission was over after they went back that day, but Director Jiang sent him back the next day. Due to the shortage of manpower, he detained Song Tu and added him to the teams that were repairing the formations in various places in Chongming City.
No one opened the door when Liu Jia knocked on it two days ago. It seemed that his senior had left again as he had done before, and no one knew where he had gone. Today he just came and knocked as usual, but he didn't expect that his senior was there.
Not sure if it was Liu Jia's illusion, but he felt that Senior Buyehou... seemed to be in a daze? What was even more worrying was that the senior's pale face had not improved.
"sit."
The senior seemed to be several beats slow to react.
Liu Jia sat down obediently, racking his brains for his next words.
"Our Director Jiang asked me to show you something." He paused and said carefully, "Director Jiang said that once you see it... you will understand."
Yu Tu: “……?”
What?
Seeing that Buyehou had no objection, Liu Jia took it as his consent. He hugged the backpack behind him into his arms and took out a silver-white metal box that looked a bit like a Rubik's Cube. There were many gold and red patterns intertwined on the box, forming several complex patterns. It looked like some kind of small sealing formation.
After Liu Jia operated it carefully, accompanied by a "click" sound, the upper part of the metal box suddenly began to fluctuate, and then became transparent. Inside the translucent box was a fan-shaped black scale, glowing a strange and ominous black.
The translucent effect lasted only two seconds, but Liu Jia was sweating profusely, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. Being in close contact with such a terrifying thing, even through the seal, made him feel very stressed.
Liu Jia took a few deep breaths before asking, "Senior, do you see it clearly? Do you need me to show it again..."
"Dragon scales."
He suddenly heard the voice of his senior.
Liu Jia breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Director Jiang is right, you really do know him."
But seeing how serious the senior looked, he probably knew the problem implied by this dragon scale.
He was not curious anyway. His experiences over the years had told him that when the strength was mismatched, the more one knew, the faster one would die. He was a person who always valued his life.
Now that the most important thing had been said, the rest became easier. Liu Jia gave Buye Hou a rough outline of their next plan as if he was making a report.
For example, they are preparing to gradually reveal the existence of the inner world to the surface world at a slow pace, such as organizing some programs for making friends through martial arts, revealing a little related news, and strengthening the supervision and guidance of public opinion on the Internet... He talked a lot, but Yu Tu was a little daydreaming.
In fact, Yu Tu was not quite sure whether the black fan-shaped scales in the box were dragon scales, but these fan-shaped scales really looked like the shape and color of the scales that appeared at the end of the comic, so he made a bold guess. Judging from Liu Jia's reaction, he should have guessed correctly.
But Yu Tu was not happy at all.
There's no way. No one would be happy when they know that a dangerous person might add another line.
Liu Jia's mouth was dry from talking, so he took out the water cup he brought with him and gulped down half a cup. Then he looked up and found that his senior was staring at the silver box on the table, and seemed to be in a distracted state again.
Mr. Buyehou...it seems that it is not as simple as just "recognizing" the dragon scale in the box.
Liu Jia carefully noted this difference and prepared to report it to Director Jiang later.
After drinking the water, he continued to talk, and Yu Tu came back to his senses. Liu Jia talked about a lot of things, which sounded very detailed, as if the Alien Bureau trusted him very much, but in fact, if you think about it deeply, all the things are just superficial plans, and the real core is not mentioned at all.
Right now, it's just a goodwill signal to him.
In the morning, he had high-intensity training and was in and out of the medical formation several times. In the afternoon, he had to pay attention to the teacher's progress in class and take notes. He also had to deal with Liu Jia. In the evening, he had to train until twelve o'clock. Yu Tu felt his head was buzzing, as if he was forced to work at the limit.
In order not to show his fatigue, he interrupted Liu Jia when he paused and said, "Get to the point."
Liu Jia's endless chatter suddenly stopped, and his expression became very serious and solemn. He lowered his voice and said solemnly:
"Senior, Director Jiang asked me to tell you that the barrier of the inner world has started to have problems."
Yu Tu was shocked at first, but then he felt it was normal.
He had this suspicion long ago, and he even suspected that the emergence of comics was closely related to the barrier.
Seeing that the senior only had a slight look of surprise on his face and did not look very shocked, Liu Jia felt that the senior's strength might be more terrifying than they imagined. If one had not cultivated his spiritual power to the extreme, it would be difficult to detect such subtle and wrong fluctuations.
But... the senior has never appeared anywhere in the inner world in these years. In other words, the senior has always hidden his whereabouts very well.
Why did it appear in front of people recently?
