Chapter 634: Chapter 288 Self-Learning_2

Boss gave a slight nod, strolling casually towards Lin Yi. When she was three meters from him, her brows furrowed, and a killing intent immediately enveloped Lin Yi.

Her figure flickered, and the light around Lin Yi dimmed.

"So fast!" Lin Yi internally cried out in alarm. "High-Order Sensing" was triggered before his cognition, and Boss’s movements in his vision instantly slowed down.

He easily dodged Boss’s first kick.

"Huh?"

The ease of dodging, far from being a surprise to Lin Yi, immediately filled him with intense unease and vigilance.

As expected, Boss had made a feint. She baited out his subconscious instinct to dodge and, as he moved to dodge, her foot swiftly tapped the ground. Then she twisted her body, lashing out her other leg like lightning!

Lin Yi’s toes had not yet touched the ground when Boss’s follow-up attack landed on his chest.

"Boom—Crack..."

The familiar sensation of being hit by a dump truck, the familiar feeling of his breastbone cracking, and that spreading sense of shattering engulfed Lin Yi in an instant like a tide.

Up until this moment, Lin Yi’s vision was still in slow motion.

Because he knew there was a vast chasm between him and Boss, her attacks were like weapons of causality that he was unable to dodge.

With this mental preparation, Lin Yi instead focused his attention on Boss and himself, trying to capture the pathways of "Primordial Pollution" and the Sky Blue Aura from the trajectory of Boss’s attacks.

Sure enough, he saw that when Boss was making her move, her body was absorbing the surrounding "Primordial Pollution" like a furnace, rapidly converting it into the Sky Blue Aura and "enchanting" her body, before striking him with it.

When Boss kicked him, the Sky Blue Aura inside her and the surrounding sky blue vapor hit him like a shockwave, shredding his chest like a shotgun blast.

However, just as his body was about to be torn apart by this power, he discovered a horrifying tension in his bones. After a struggle, his skeletal frame began to twist and stretch, firmly capturing every piece of flesh and muscle on his body like the veins of a leaf...

At the same time, he realized that his internal organs seemed to have turned into a whirlpool, at the center of which was a spiral storm like a blizzard—that was the storm formed by the "Primordial Pollution" mingling with white powder particles, spreading out in their most primordial form, enveloping the edges of his body like a membrane, tapering him within the human contour!

In this strange state, his body was kicked away by Boss like mud, then it contorted into a parabola mid-air, rapidly shaking like a tempestuous sea.

When he smashed into the ground, his body bounced up like elastic rubber before finally lying dead over there.

"Not... ’lying dead over there’? Lying dead... ’over there’?!"

Lin Yi was startled.

"How could I have such a thought?!"

"’I’ am lying dead over there, so... what is happening to me now?!"

Only then did he realize the problem, because in his vision, a "self" was kicked away by Boss, falling to a spot not far from there.

And he, he was observing from a third-person point of view the whole time!

"My soul has flown out?!"

He looked at his hands but found he had none.

"Wait... this is... like the perspective of ’My World’?!"

Lin Yi had entered the state of "My World" near the Corridor Bridge of Teaching Building C, then walked up the bridge with his thoughts, but was called back by Li Huiyuan before he got far.

He had also entered "My World" on his way to the Gymnasium earlier today, inadvertently wandering deep into the Green Forest Belt. If not for the disturbance by that short figure, he would have been doomed.

And now... he had entered this state again?!

He didn’t know what triggered his entry into "My World"; this state had no sense of boundaries. Unless he realized it himself, he was utterly unaware of his own transformation, an obliviousness that could easily lead to a mental demise.

But in this state, his ability to observe and analyze was greatly enhanced.

He quietly watched his own self, oblivious to life and death, like a deranged surgeon scrutinizing a lab rat, observing every minute change occurring within his body.

He observed the process of repair by the Sky Blue Aura, fascinated by the energy’s shifts and trajectories as a painter is by the strokes of a brush. Gradually, he became captivated by these trajectories, sinking deeper into fascination...

Gradually, a golden glow began to surge in his eyes.

Yet, despite the glow, his eyes remained lifeless, devoid of any luster, and at the same time, his lips unconsciously curled into a strange, eerie smile...

Boss, who was observing Lin Yi, suddenly sensed something and quickly approached him. She reached out and yanked him up from the ground.

As Boss pulled him up, the drifting consciousness of Lin Yi regained a trace of sparkle in his vacant eyes as he murmured, "Boss..."

It was as though he had been awakened; he quickly recovered, his vision zooming back to his body until he finally returned within.

When he returned to his body, an endless tide of agony swept over him, nearly rendering him unconscious.

He also noticed that after Boss had pulled him up, her gaze was not on him but rather on the shadow behind him.

Boss stared at Lin Yi’s shadow, her eyes narrowed. She watched intently for a while before shifting her gaze away.

"Boss..." Lin Yi began with difficulty, "What’s wrong?"

Boss placed him down on the floor and said nonchalantly, "Nothing much, just focus on healing your injuries."

After speaking, Boss walked towards Li Huiyuan.

Lin Yi watched Boss’s receding figure, remaining silent and attentively sensing the changes the Sky Blue Aura was making inside his body.

On the other side, Li Huiyuan asked Boss the same question, "Boss, did you discover something just now?"

Boss didn’t hide anything from Li Huiyuan and simply nodded, "For a moment, I felt the presence of the Angel Sculpture emanating from Lin Yi..."

"Is the Rage Angel still tormenting him?!" Li Huiyuan asked, filled with concern.

"No, it’s not the Rage Angel, but... the Sneering Angel," Boss replied with a slightly grave tone. "However, by the time I went over, that sensation had disappeared. Quite strange."

"Ah... what should we do then?" Li Huiyuan hastily inquired.

Boss shook her head, "Let’s finish this training first and see how he’s progressing and also check how much Ashes are left."

"Lin Yi’s progress... is quick."

"It seems he already knows many things; it’s just... as if he’s lost the memories of those parts."

"If that’s really the case, then the problem is much easier to handle."

Li Huiyuan looked at Lin Yi, puzzled, "What’s the plan?"

"Let him get accustomed and find his bearings. A bit of actual combat will pretty much do," Boss explained. "That is, if his condition is similar to what I suspect. Otherwise, we’ll have to stick to the original plan I laid out and proceed with the training step by step."

Boss said this and couldn’t help but rub her temples.

Lin Yi was somewhat of a headache for her, giving her a feeling of having power but not being able to fully enjoy wielding it.

Upon hearing this, Li Huiyuan’s pretty face took on a tinge of alarm, "Boss, I might manage bluffing Lin Yi, but actual combat... I’m really worried my petite frame can’t withstand his thrashing!"
