Chapter 251: 234 off 2

Phew!

In the villa’s basement.

Two figures abruptly appeared out of thin air.

It was none other than Li Chengyi, outfitted in the Ultimate Gladiolus Floral Dress, and the woman with the broken legs he was carrying, Qiong An.

"We’re out... we’re out! I made it out!!! Hahaha!" Qiong An initially froze, then immediately began to cry and snot, laying on the ground kissing the floor, frantically rubbing her face and mouth against the basement floor.

Li Chengyi quietly stood to the side, looking at the key he was just holding in his hand.

Only to find the key was no longer there.

"I have a question for you," he said.

Qiong An quickly suppressed her manic emotions, still trembling all over, but struggled to control herself, respectfully bowing her head toward Li Chengyi.

"Please ask."

"What year was it when you entered the Dark City?"

"The year 3210!"

Now it’s 3225. Fifteen years have passed...

"So, can you still get in touch with your family that you mentioned before?" Li Chengyi asked.

"I’ll try. Please rest assured, even if I can’t reach them, I still have proof of my privately stored bank assets and industries! I will not disappoint you!" The emotions of Qiong An were somewhat erratic, the kind of mania that might become extremely excited at any moment, a bit like a mental patient.

But considering she had been in the Dark City for a full fifteen years...

It was obvious that her mental state must have suffered.

After pondering for a moment, Li Chengyi picked up his phone and dialed Xindela’s number.

He needed to send this individual to Sutan, and he wasn’t worried about her reneging on the debt; Blind Spot Individuals would continue to face even harder blind spots, and even if he took her out, he was simply allowing her to struggle on for a while longer.

"I hope to follow you, whatever you ask me to do, I can do it! Only you might be the one who can truly find a way to escape the Blind Spot!" At this moment, despite having lost her legs, Qiong An still heavily knelt onto the ground.

Her voice trembled slightly as the image of Li Chengyi’s recent clash with the Stone Armor King still flashed through her mind.

"I beg you! Back then, Lien put together the Golden Eye Snake to find the root of the Blind Spot, but you are definitely stronger than him! You can go further!"

"We’ll talk about that later." Li Chengyi responded noncommittally. Considering the number of Blind Spots Qiong An had been through, her next encounter with a Blind Spot could prove fatal, so taking her in wasn’t very meaningful.

"Rest assured, I will prove my worth to you!" Qiong An had entered a full-blown psychotic state. She wiped away the tears and mucus from her face in a single motion.

Shortly after, ten minutes later.

Rainbow Candy and others from The Garden, who had just freshened up and were preparing to have breakfast, arrived at the villa in succession.

They encountered the living Blind Spot Individual that Li Chengyi mentioned he had brought back from the Blind Spot of the Dark City.

Around a round table.

After overcoming their initial shock, everyone from The Garden blinked their eyes, all staring at Qiong An, who was completely composed.

Xindela, Rainbow Candy, and Xiao Zhong took turns scrutinizing Qiong An who had cleaned up and changed into a set of clothes.

It had to be said, Qiong An had the typical Sutanese appearance—golden hair, purple eyes, a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and wheat-colored skin.

"I acted out of urgency before, and I chopped off her legs. Can we help her reattach them?" Li Chengyi asked, looking toward Rainbow Candy.

"You can get the relevant cellular tissue culture technology from Da Xiong; it’s quite simple, just needs some time," Rainbow Candy replied.

"As for the Sutanese side of things, I’ve checked already, the Dulien family is indeed in the upper echelons of the great clans. And the name Qiong An is indeed found within their family records, but she disappeared fifteen years ago," Xindela said, proving his acumen in overseas intelligence.

He already had a lead so quickly.

"Then, I’ll leave Qiong An’s matter in your hands, Tang Tang. We also have some staff over here that you can mobilize at will," Li Chengyi said.

"No problem!" Rainbow Candy nodded earnestly. She might bluster on usual days, but at critical moments, she was reliable.

"Next, I need to stay here for a while longer to make all the necessary preparations. According to what Qiong An said, Lien took the Book of Record out of Yunshan and handed it over to someone named Harns for safekeeping; we must find Harns first," Li Chengyi continued.

"Furthermore, I have some other key names here, all connected to Lien. We need you to check them out," he said.

"No problem. Leave it to me. After accumulating so many years of contacts, this is the perfect time to make use of them!" Xindela quickly agreed; the hint of trembling in his hand revealed that his heart was far from as calm and composed as he appeared.

"Isna, Freya, and Esther are the names of the members of Lien’s squad. I don’t have detailed information on the others, but it would be best if you could find them. If not, we still have Harns as a clue," Li Chengyi said.

"Alright! I remember Isna; I’ve heard Lien mention her once, she was his right-hand man. But she’s been missing for many years," Xindela said, sighing.

"I see... I hope we can find something with the other names," Li Chengyi nodded.

"Next..."

"Boss, Zhongyi University’s people have come knocking. They’ve reached out to Commissioner Liu Tongbei and want to have a conversation with you," Xiao Zhong suddenly said.

"Oh? Zhongyi University? The damage to Li Shenhui’s Feiyi seems to have caught their attention," Li Chengyi raised his eyebrows.

The last time he went back to test his Secret Sword, he had sent the Feiyi Master from Zhongyi University packing with a single strike.

This time, it seemed they were countering his move after defeat against the minor player.

"They want to challenge us to a match, claiming that we disrupted their collaboration project with the Sutan side. So, they want to have a wagered duel with us," Xiao Zhong said.

"A duel? Is it legal?" Li Chengyi asked, surprised.

"It’s legal. Many Feiyi Masters have conflicts with each other and settle them through wagers, which can effectively avoid internal loss of fighting power and quickly resolve disputes," Xiao Zhong evidently did his homework.

"Are there any restrictions or rules? Surely not any Feiyi Master who can operate combat aircraft and warships can just jump in? In the end, wouldn’t it just be about who has stronger resources behind them?" Rainbow Candy asked discontentedly.

"The only restriction is that they can’t use warships or fighter jets; anything else is allowed."

"Zhongyi University... well, it’s a good opportunity to see just how formidable the truly top Feiyi Masters are," Li Chengyi pondered for a moment and decided to accept the challenge.

"What’s the wager?" he inquired.

"If we win, they won’t bother us anymore; if we lose, we hand over the technology for the production of the modified bodies behind the Thugs," Xiao Zhong replied.

"That wager is unequally matched. If we win, they must also add five sets of Level Five Force Field Generators to the wager!" Li Chengyi declared emphatically.

"Hiss..." Everyone present took a sharp intake of breath.

Level Five Force Field... One set was worth several hundred million, a high-grade item under military control and not permitted for sale.

This request will cost five sets...

"I... will ask!" Xiao Zhong quickly sent a message with his mobile phone.

Soon, a text message came back.

"They only agree to a Level Four Force Field. It seems their true purpose isn’t any collaboration with the Noel Group’s project, but they are after the technology behind Thug Brother," said Xiao Zhong in a grave tone.

"Xiao Yi, I’ve put together some information on Feiyi Masters for you. Don’t take it lightly and be very careful," Xindela reminded from the side.

"Got it, I understand!" Li Chengyi nodded.

The Gladiolus Ultimate Form had given him a tremendous boost. Both the First Floriography and the Second Floriography had provided him with a holistic, leap-like enhancement.

Therefore, if Zhongyi University was still using his previous strength to estimate and judge the outcome, they were bound to take a big fall this time.

"Let’s set the duel time and place then," said Li Chengyi.

"The other side is ready. Tomorrow afternoon, both Suiyang and Luo An are available!" Xiao Zhong replied.

"Then let’s go with Suiyang." Compared to Luo An, Suiyang was their main stronghold.

"The rules for a one-on-one duel are that within a one-kilometer square area, the two persons enter and then fight it out. Whoever loses half their strength or is unable to fight loses! There will be no external surveillance aids such as the Heavenly Eye."

The following day, in Suiyang.

Kuanshan Military Testing Ground.

"Senior brother... please!" Li Shenhui stood in the clearing of the woods and bowed deeply to a gentle-looking young man with white hair.

"Don’t worry. The opponent is an expert who can damage Special Rainbow Iron; obviously, they also have an equivalent special material formula. Our goal this time is simply to get the formula. Your debts will not only be cleared, but you could also make a fortune," the youth said softly.

"If I hadn’t been too reckless before..." Li Shenhui’s heart bled when she thought of her Flying Yi, which was still being repaired.

"It’s fine, I’m here now. Everything will be taken care of by me, and I will help you get it all back," the youth said gently, stroking her long hair, his face tender.

In Yi Country, Feiyi Masters, also known as Mecha Engineers, are divided into two major levels: amateur and professional.

Among professional Feiyi Masters, when there isn’t much difference in the materials and size of most people’s Flying Yi devices, what they actually compete in is something else.

That is, coordination laws.

Coordination laws refer to the top combat state that a Feiyi Master can achieve in conjunction with their Flying Yi.

It represents the limit state of performance that a Flying Yi can theoretically achieve.

Li Shenhui was also a coordination law Feiyi Master, and she was considered of average skill among professional military Feiyi Masters.

But compared to the youth before her, there was still a huge gap.

Given the same Flying Yi, the youth could exert 120% killing power through coordination laws.

In simulated one-on-one dueling combat simulations, Li Shenhui was ranked 439th out of a thousand in the academy.

While the youth was ranked 47th.

"Chen Tingyun, they’re here," said Liu Tongbei, the supervision official from the league, glancing at his watch.

"The starting position of the opponent is directly opposite to you. For the next half hour, you two will fight in this test area without exceeding the boundaries.

The conditions for victory have been adjusted since it’s not a Feiyi Master battling you; anyone who loses combat capability or admits defeat will lose. Is that alright?"

Liu Tongbei was fed up; the intent of these people from Zhongyi University was clearly written all over their faces.

"No problem!" Chen Tingyun nodded with a smile, then looked again at his beautiful junior sister, Li Shenhui.

"Don’t worry, I’ve run a model simulation with the data you gave me hundreds of times. The success rate is one hundred percent, with no surprises. As long as that Thug shows up on the battlefield, he’s destined to lose beyond a doubt!"

"Yes!" Li Shenhui nodded vigorously.

"After I win, remember, you promised to be my girlfriend..." Chen Tingyun said in a low voice.

"Senior brother... wait for your return! I’ve booked the tickets to travel to the Asta Sea," Li Shenhui said, turning away embarrassingly with her face blushing red.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Chen Tingyun laughed heartily several times, feeling a surge of passion churning in his chest.

"Are we ready to begin?" Liu Tongbei, looking pained, rubbed his face.

"We’re ready!" Chen Tingyun pressed a button on a device attached to his belt behind him.

A Level Five Force Field abruptly opened by his side, enveloping his entire body.

Hiss.

The two black metallic devices strapped to his lower legs expelled a stream of blue particles, lifting him off the ground and propelling him towards the distance.

"Ling Xiao, I’m counting on you."

Behind him, a resplendent blue long sword suddenly unsheathed and floated up.

"Maximum speed mode, covering fire." Spikes of thin blades split from around the long sword’s blade, all of them blue metallic edges.

"Go."

Chen Tingyun pointed his right arm forward.

Shhhh! In an instant, hundreds of tiny blue metallic blades rained down, flying towards the distant woods.

A one-kilometer range was nothing for a Feiyi Master; even without surveillance devices, they could easily locate their opponent’s position just from an aerial view.

Soon.

The rain of tiny blades found Li Chengyi’s location and flew towards him.

In the dark green woods.

Li Chengyi, clad in a Wisteria Floral Dress, was holding a Green Electric Greatsword in one hand.

Watching the oncoming rain of Flying Yi blades.
