Chapter 353: Turn 326 Second

The immense force of the shockwave plunged the module, which was just half a second from activation, back into shock mode, further delaying the activation.

Ah!!!

Li Chengjiu’s heart was suffocated, almost vomiting blood. Her body, struck by that giant kick, flew backward and tumbled to the ground.

’Sorry, activation has failed consecutively more than ten times; the unit is entering temporary hibernation mode. Please wait to restart after twenty-four hours.’ The sweet robotic voice accompanied Li Chengjiu as she heavily smashed into the ground, resonating together.

"....."

She bounced a few times on the ground and finally lay still...

’If only... if only the activation module worked, my strength would significantly increase, and I could definitely take care of that bitch Li Chengyi... But...’

This intense discomfort and frustration left her lying there motionless on the ground, unable to move.

The self-reproach for her carelessness mixed with the anger at Li Chengyi’s humiliation, combining into another peculiar kind of complex emotion.

I could have... I could have won...

"Is it over just like that?" Li Chengyi, with crossed arms, slowly walked to her side.

"Sis, weren’t you going to teach me a lesson?"

He looked down at her with an air of superiority.

"Look, I can easily take care of you without using my hands..."

"Just you wait!" Li Chengjiu glared at him through gritted teeth.

Despite her rage, a sense of weariness and defeat was already creeping into her heart.

"Sis, you’re not thinking of giving up, are you?" Li Chengyi was startled to see a hint of that thought in her.

"...." Li Chengjiu closed her eyes, ready to admit defeat.

Though she could have instantly killed her brother using the Flying Yi, that was not her original intention.

She wanted to defeat Li Chengyi in hand-to-hand combat, one on one, thoroughly!

Not relying on external forces like the Flying Yi.

"Sis, you can’t just admit defeat like this, can you?" Li Chengyi pressed on.

"...."

"How boring." Li Chengyi shook his head. "By the way, you had breakfast this morning, right? Judging by the time now, you should have digested it quite well."

"What do you mean?" Li Chengjiu opened her eyes to look at him.

"Do you know, sister?" Li Chengyi started to smile devilishly. "There’s a spot on the human abdomen which, if continuously struck, can even knock the shit out of you~~~"

"!!!???" Li Chengjiu’s eyes instantly showed a hint of panic.

She flipped over, trying to get up.

Boom!

A mighty force brutally struck her lower abdomen.

The power was so accurate; it wasn’t excruciating pain, but it did indeed induce a sudden urge to defecate!

Li Chengjiu was shocked on the spot!!

She staggered back several steps, watching Li Chengyi’s swiftly approaching figure, and couldn’t help imagining—if she really were to be hit until...

In front of so many onlookers, in front of her boyfriend Nie Qingche who was spectating, to be hit until she pooped herself...

"You son of a bitch!!!" A surge of indescribable fury burst forth from her, shooting up to the skies.

Li Chengjiu had never imagined Li Chengyi could be so vile!

She believed, no matter how they fought, they were still siblings; if she couldn’t win, she would still leave him some dignity.

But now...!!!???

"That’s it! That’s the look! Hahahahaha!!" Li Chengyi burst into laughter, clearly enjoying himself.

Rage +3.

Rage +3.

Rage +3.

These continuous streams of Evil Thoughts made his mood even more delightful.

"Come hit me!"

He pointed to his own head and said with a laugh.

"Come on, kill me!"

"Aaaaahhhhh!!!!!" Li Chengjiu, her face flushing with blood, couldn’t take it anymore.

"Coalesce Frost!!" she bellowed.

On a distant spectator stand, a black bag containing a silver suitcase instantly transformed.

Bang!!!

In that instant, a large foot, which started later but arrived first, heavily kicked Li Chengjiu’s face.

"I...!!#!@￥%" Li Chengjiu couldn’t convey her follow-up command, as she was sent flying backward, slamming hard into a metal wall.

Before she could regain her senses, her head still spinning,

A shadow appeared beside her.

Bang!!

Another heavy blow.

Li Chengjiu’s body was sent spinning through the air, hitting another alloy wall before heavily falling to the ground.

"Con...," she gasped, trying to call for the Flying Yi.

But another powerful kick landed on her side, the massive shock leaving her too breathless to speak.

She couldn’t utter the Flying Yi’s startup passphrase.

’Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!’ Li Chengjiu screamed furiously in her head, but it was useless.

The Flying Yi needed a passphrase to initiate its first action. Once activated, the owner’s every word and thought are treated as commands.

Without this measure, casual remarks or fleeting thoughts from the master could be mistakenly executed by the Flying Yi, leading to tragedies.

Therefore, decryption of the startup phrase was a necessary step.

But now...

Li Chengjiu lay there dazed, watching Li Chengyi approach her. The rage and frustration boiling within her made her profoundly regretful at that moment.

Regretful for not having activated the module and used the Flying Yi right from the start.

"It seems it’s not going to work." This time, Li Chengyi didn’t strike again.

"Are you giving up?"

"...." Li Chengjiu struggled to prop herself up.

This fight, she lost with immense frustration.

She had thought activating the module would secure a victory, but from start to finish, she never got the chance to activate it...

If she had disregarded the drain on her energy and activated the module from the beginning, maybe none of what followed would have happened.

"Come," Li Chengyi extended his hand.

"Although those words just now were harsh, I meant them for your own good, to draw out your potential. You’re not going to be petty and hold a grudge, are you?"

He smiled.

"....." You motherf...! Li Chengjiu had never seen such a shameless person.

Ignoring his hand, she climbed to her feet and limped towards the exit.

"I admit defeat," she said loudly.

"Defeat confirmed, winner: Black side," a synthetic electronic voice announced.

Watching her departing figure from behind, Li Chengyi then looked at the Anger Evil Thoughts which had already charged up to 57%.

He felt extremely satisfied.

This was the purest form of Evil Thoughts, all from anger.

Only someone like his sister, with her steadfast will and strength, could continuously charge up anger like this.

If it were those garish sluts from the outside world, they would probably shift from anger to fear in no time, affecting the purity of his Evil Thoughts.

Meanwhile, outside the arena.

In the audience stands, there was silence.

Nie Qingche held a bottle of pure water tightly, with a serious look on his face as he watched the two in the ring.

He knew Xiao Jiu’s strength, not as good as his, but not much worse. To think that without using a Flying Yi, she couldn’t even beat her own brother, an ordinary person with no military training??

Even if he had anticipated such a situation to some extent, he was still quite shocked.

Fortunately, he observed something else.

From beginning to end, Li Chengjiu did not activate her auxiliary modules. Clearly, she ultimately did not have the heart to go all-out and be ruthless against her own brother.

But even so, that Li Chengjiu would lose was truly beyond his expectations.

"That guy... What’s his background?" asked Boss Han Yanxi, who was sitting next to him, her tone just as heavy.

Ordinary observers might not have noticed anything, but being in the know, she clearly understood that the standard exhibited by the two in the ring was far beyond that of ordinary fighting enthusiasts.

"My girlfriend’s brother. He must be a good hand in a martial arts school," Nie Qingche spoke softly in reply.

"A martial arts school..." Han Yanxi was seeing such a formidable martial artist for the first time.

Li Chengyi’s casual and easy victory over the Military Flight Instrument Masters, flaunting arrogance and disdain, left a deep impression on her.

"I feel like I’ve seen that person before, in the final of the Extreme Martial Fierce Battle Competition," Ding Haofeng, who was beside Han Yanxi, furrowed his brows.

"Oh? Really?" Han Yanxi exclaimed with surprise.

"Maybe not, could be a lookalike. If it really were him, our Suiyang City would have started going crazy with the promotion by now," Ding Haofeng thought for a moment and then shook his head with a smile.

Their conversation was casual, but it struck a chord with Nie Qingche, who sat nearby. His interest piqued, he turned to look toward Li Chengyi, who had lowered his hands in the ring.

He intended to have a thorough check on this new brother-in-law when he got back home. With his family’s numerous connections, a serious investigation might uncover some big surprises.

As for now, he stood up and went to comfort the emerging Li Chengjiu with concern.

The two embraced, and Li Chengjiu could no longer hold back, burying her head in his chest and crying bitterly.

At the border of Yi Country.

On a desolate coastline.

A small, battered speedboat was slowly washed ashore by the waves, getting stuck on the rocks.

Seagulls perched on the curved railing of the white speedboat, curiously chirping as the sea breeze blew.

After ten or so minutes had passed.

Cough cough...

Finally, a faint coughing sound emerged from the speedboat.

Three drenched figures with pale faces crawled out slowly from the vessel.

A balding middle-aged man and two young men in gray suits.

After them, a beautiful woman with blue-purple hair struggled to get out.

In total, four people clambered off the boat, retching and coughing on the sandy beach.

These four were the very ones who had fled from Nashi by night—the three from the Ethics Committee, and the pirate leader, Yang Chengxi, trying to save their lives.

After realizing there were powerful individuals fighting nearby, they unanimously decided to escape immediately.

But before they could get far, the waves stirred up by the battle in the sky overturned their boat.

With no other choice, they had to board a lifeboat and make their harrowing escape.

"I’ll never... never want to... be on a boat again... bleugh!!"

Team leader Barton heaved.

"You’re not cut out for this, boss... Told you to just take the second shot. If you had gritted your teeth and done it during the half-price promotion, you’d feel a lot better now, wouldn’t you?" Angeal, who was feeling slightly better, looked at Barton with a speechless expression.

"Stop talking, any of you have a location fix? Where are we?" Karan, the lone female of the trio, asked through gritted teeth.

"In the coastal waters of Yi Country..." Yang Chengxi, the pirate leader, wiped the seawater from her face. "Does this count as illegal entry?"

"Yi Country... I think it’s best to contact the local authorities first," Barton suggested, believing his international official status could still carry some weight. First, they should get in touch with the Yi Country officials and then contact their headquarters to pick them up and bring them back.

"I think that’s a good idea," Karan agreed.

"Me too," Angeal quickly concurred.

"Only... does it seem like there’s someone approaching over there?"

He pointed towards the distant beach.

They looked into the distance to see a squad of soldiers dressed in blue and black hazmat suits and carrying guns, quickly approaching them.

Yes.

Each of these soldiers had personal flight units on their backs, allowing them to fly swiftly.

"Could they be officials?" Angeal wondered. "On their suits, isn’t that a red cross star? Do you know what that symbol is?"

"I’ve read the information; it seems to be... one of Star Lake’s symbols," Karan laughed lightly.

"But this is the border of Yi Country, how could we so coincidentally run into people from Star Lake? It’s definitely a coincidence, probably a similar symbol from somewhere else. Don’t you think?"

"...."

The rest fell silent.

Whoosh!

The armed soldiers rapidly surrounded them.

"Another group of illegal entrants, take them back as experimental subjects," the leading officer commanded sternly.

The four were taken aback by his words, but before they could react, they felt their consciousness blur and they collapsed to the ground.
