But just as his thumb rested on the button and he was about to press it down.
His thumb suddenly froze, completely unable to move, as if his finger had been turned to ice.
The wooden door was gently pulled open, and a petite figure walked in.
She had a smile on her lips, as if she were about to join a game, and said to everyone:
“Everyone, how could you not invite me to such an interesting party?”
After saying this, she stuck out her pink tongue and licked her lips, revealing an ambiguous smile.
「Coming, coming, it’s Lao Xi’s classic hero entrance」
「In this aspect of the beauty saving the hero, Lao Xi really has it nailed down tight」
「Lao Xi is so lewd, how is she so good at this now」
「The goblin trained her well」
「Bad news, Saintess Xi and the goblin? They really are a traditional pair of star-crossed lovers」
While the bullet chat was incredibly lively, the room was silent.
Everyone’s eyes fell upon this uninvited guest.
“Is she also one of yours?” Guan Kelai’s first reaction was to look at Jiguang and the others who had taken the initiative to come to him.
But their expressions were beyond his expectations.
From the moment they entered until now.
Even when they were held at sword-point by his Tree God Guards, these people had been exceptionally calm.
It was as if everything was under their control.
That was why he had been interested enough to listen to their doomsday talk and seriously consider its truth.
But now, the brow of the leading “devil” was furrowed, and his face held an unprecedented gravity.
The expressions of the other “devils” were also extremely unsightly.
This indicated that the arrival of this uninvited guest was not within their expectations.
They really aren’t on the same side ..
Guan Kelai made these analyses in an instant.
That he could possess such great power and status now was partly due to the bloodline in his bones, and partly due to his ability.
He felt that no matter what the uninvited guest was here for, she likely also needed his power and his status.
So he raised his hand, stopping the Tree God Guards behind him who were about to draw their swords, preparing to let them fight amongst themselves first.
Only the winner would be worthy of cooperating with him.
Of course.
Jiguang was clearly in no mood to worry about Guan Kelai at this moment; he asked Yun Ruoxi:
“You are… .. which camp’s 0001?”
“Oh, how did you figure that out?”
Yun Ruoxi thrust her hands into the pockets of her stand-up collar jacket and began to spin in place by herself like a mischievous child.
“Because you can avoid my perception ……. ” Jiguang explained, “In my camp, no one can do that. Even in the other two camps, the only ones who can do that are surely those standing at the mountain top, the ones who can look me in the eye.”
“Oh, then you’ve guessed wrong.”
Yun Ruoxi paused her steps, ending her spinning, and revealed a deep, unfathomable smile.
“In our place, besides me, there are others who can do that.”
“After all …… your Yi Neng is really….very ordinary!”
“Very ordinary!” The moment those last two words sounded, Jiguang suddenly clenched his fist.
No matter how indifferent or calm he had been before.
In a situation where he had shown so much respect yet the other party still looked down on him, he still felt extreme anger.
He slowly raised his head, grinning to reveal grim teeth.
“Is that so? My Yi Neng is very ordinary?”
“That’s right!” Yun Ruoxi pulled her hands from her pockets, revealing a smile hidden with excitement.
“Don’t you know that yourself?”
The moment her voice fell.
A terrifying telekinesis instantly erupted from her thin body, covering the entire room.
At the same time, for some reason, the camera suddenly cut away.
「 ??? 」
「Where is the fight scene I’ve been waiting six or seven minutes for?」
「Out of budget, is that it? Such a perfunctory way to treat people」
「I would’ve even accepted a Chibi version scene」
「The iXi production team is starting to show off again, aren’t they? Now they won’t even show Lao Xi’s highlight moments. Watch out for Lao Xi’s dark side exploding; one day she’ll take you all out」
Although the camera had cut away.
The battle in the room was only just on the verge of breaking out.
The telekinesis covering the entire room instantly allowed Yun Ruoxi to occupy the absolute home-field advantage.
The two teammates beside Jiguang were the first to try and attack, but their bodies were directly restrained by telekinesis, floating stiffly in the air, unable to move at all.
The young girl slowly extended her right hand, making a grasping motion toward them, slowly rotating it as if turning a screw.
The two students immediately began to spin at an extremely high speed.
“Giggle, giggle!”
The young girl let out an excited laugh, a slight flush rising on her face, and then she suddenly clenched her hand with force.
The limbs of Jiguang’s two teammates were instantly twisted and broken, and they fainted directly from the pain without making a sound.
“You are so cold-hearted; do you not even care about your teammates? Mr. 0001 from the other camp.”
The girl giggled with a flushed face, her eyes misted with a watery haze.
“They couldn’t withstand the aftershocks of our battle. Rather than letting them be eliminated like that for no reason, it’s better for them to buy me a little time.”
Jiguang, who had not moved, suddenly spoke.
He raised his right fist which had been clenched all along, and under Yun Ruoxi’s gaze, he slowly opened his right hand.
A brilliant glimmer of starlight floated in his palm.
“Let me …… ” Jiguang clenched his fist again, directly crushing the starlight in his palm to pieces, “teach you a good lesson!”
His voice fell.
A layer of milky-white halo radiated from the surface of his body, and a powerful sense of pressure instantly swept toward the surroundings.
He stepped heavily on the ground, rushing toward Yun Ruoxi at extreme speed.
The extremely heavy wooden table blocking the two of them was not avoided; he directly collided with it, sending it flying.
Yun Ruoxi raised her hand, using telekinesis to hold the wooden table that was about to hit her directly above her head.
At the same time, Jiguang had already fought his way to her front.
Yun Ruoxi’s Stasis Field, which had already spread out and could severely slow down speed-type Yi Neng users, only caused his figure to shake briefly before he broke right through it.
And this was the strength of a camp’s 0001.
Even if the overall strength of the Pandora-33 camp might be inferior to that of Pandora-35.
“Go back to the treatment pod and reflect properly, you damn brat!”
Jiguang swung a fist violently, roaring loudly at the same time.
His Yi Neng was a very simple internal-type; he could strengthen his physical qualities by absorbing starlight.
But what was not simple was that his bloodline concentration was A+, and he was extremely talented in combat.
Therefore, under the suggestion of Dr. Forefinger, he had followed a route combining Yi Neng and martial arts from the very beginning.
Thereby securing his status as the number one in his camp.
That’s right, it was Dr. Forefinger.
He was not only active in the Pandora-35 camp, but was active in all three camps simultaneously, selecting students with potential, nurturing them, and testing them.
And Jiguang’s current punch was his full-power strike.
Not only had it absorbed enough starlight, but it also had the combat essence of the Saintly Hand Star-Shattering Flow stacked upon it.
He believed that even the 0001 of another camp could definitely not withstand this punch that was enough to shatter mountains.
And his thinking was not wrong.
If it were before the assessment, Yun Ruoxi, who had not unlocked her physical shackles, would indeed not have dared to take this punch head-on.
After all, no matter how powerful her Yi Neng was, her physical qualities were only so-so.
Even with the layers of weakening from her telekinesis, this terrifying punch with a star energy index as high as 150 and the stacked combat essence would still injure her, a serious injury sufficient to affect the assessment.
But now it was different.
She had unlocked her physical shackles through a skill, and her constitution was constantly becoming stronger every day under the dual stimulation of her star energy index and her skills.
So she now believed she should be able to take this punch head-on.
Yun Ruoxi revealed an excited expression.
She raised her right hand and clenched her fist.
The telekinesis from her entire body was concentrated.
Then, she struck second but arrived first, likewise striking back heavily with a punch.
The two fists collided.
There was no fancy light, only a terrifying sound that was like thunder and a sonic wave that could blow away ordinary people.
Jiguang retreated a dozen steps due to the impact force.
The bones in his right hand shattered directly, and his entire hand was deformed.
And opposite him.
Yun Ruoxi did not retreat; she stood firmly in place.
Furthermore, her right hand was completely intact, only trembling incessantly, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth.
In the moment of the punch just now.
Using her powerful calculation ability, she had dispersed that counter-shock force to all parts of her body through telekinesis.
So she only suffered a bit of internal injury.
“I what I? Come again!”
Yun Ruoxi wiped away the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.
Her eyes revealed a hint of excitement at having met a worthy opponent, and she laughed loudly as she rushed toward Jiguang again.
She abandoned her long-range advantage and, like a madwoman, attached telekinesis to her fists and feet, using the combat techniques learned in the first year to battle Jiguang.
Punches, kicks, and elbow strikes!
She was like a wild beast, using every possible means to attack.
Although Jiguang’s physical qualities far surpassed Yun Ruoxi’s, and he wasn’t afraid of going head-to-head with her even if she was covered in telekinesis.
But he had never encountered an opponent who fought only by primal instinct and was completely impossible to see through.
He was unable to predict Yun Ruoxi’s moves and found them difficult to parry, being suppressed and beaten by Yun Ruoxi like a target, beaten very miserably.
Before long.
Jiguang finally could not endure it anymore and shouted: “Enough!”
At the same time, the halo radiating from the edges of his body rapidly expanded, directly knocking away Yun Ruoxi as she came in with a side kick.
Yun Ruoxi’s body spun a few times in the air before quickly righting itself, floating in the air.
With a flushed face, she exhaled a breath of turbid air and laughed wantonly.
“Is this enough? You, this 0001, even the 0002 back at my place is far inferior!”
After saying that, she suddenly reached out her hand toward Jiguang, and terrifying telekinesis instantly restrained his four limbs.
The halo on Jiguang’s body surface expanded again, instantly shattering the small telekinetic hands restraining him.
But in the next second, even more telekinesis surged over, crawling all over his body.
Jiguang radiated the halo again, and the telekinesis was shattered, but the telekinesis surged over again as if it were inexhaustible.
Once, twice, three times.
Jiguang’s face became paler and paler. He bit his teeth and looked at Yun Ruoxi, suddenly activating the Star Art given to him by Dr. Forefinger.
【Storage Jar】
His Yi Neng needed starlight to strengthen himself, but there were many lightless environments in this world.
So Dr. Forefinger had specially given him this Star Art, allowing him to store a large amount of starlight in his body in advance.
And just like its name, a Storage Jar.
What this Star Art could store was not just starlight, but also star energy, and even the nutrition required by the body!
At this moment, as the virtual Storage Jar inside his body was opened, an abnormal flush instantly surfaced on Jiguang’s face.
Subsequently, the halo on his body surface became stronger and stronger, and the force of his resistance also became greater and greater.
He no longer looked like he was about to lose his strength as he had just now.
“Oh, interesting.” Yun Ruoxi narrowed her eyes craftily like a fox and suddenly clenched her right hand tightly.
During the stalemate phase.
The fragments of telekinesis that had surged into Jiguang’s body through his mouth, nose, and ears suddenly struck Jiguang’s internal organs under her control.
No matter how strong Jiguang’s physical body was, the degree to which his internal organs were strengthened was limited.
Intense pain flashed across his face, his features instantly contorted, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood with a “wah” sound.
At the same time, his wristwatch suddenly began to beep-beep-beep.
Jiguang looked over while enduring the pain, only to find that the mechanical knob on his wristwatch had actually been twisted out and pressed down.
A line of red text appeared on the screen of the wristwatch.
【Evaluation abandoned, extraction pod being dispatched】
“What have you done?!” Jiguang roared in rage.
“I helped you call your return flight, no need to thank me!” The young girl waved her hand with a smile.
Two more beeping sounds rang out from the side, coming from Jiguang’s two teammates.
They followed closely after Jiguang, having been eliminated by Yun Ruoxi.
Seeing this scene, the breath in Jiguang’s heart instantly dissipated, and his always upright body suddenly went completely limp.
He sat directly on the ground, a look of defeat appearing on his face.
Clearly, both of them were the 0001 of a camp, but the gap between them was unimaginably large.
He had already begun to doubt himself.
Was it really only because he had stayed in a camp with weaker competition that he was able to obtain the position of 0001?
Clap, clap, clap, clap!
While Jiguang was in dejected self-reflection, a burst of applause rang out.
Guan Kelai stood up and clapped, saying to Yun Ruoxi with a smile:
“Not bad, not bad, you really put on a good show for me. However, I still don’t quite believe your doomsday talk, so please go to my family’s dungeon and give a proper account of yourselves.”
“Idiot.”
Yun Ruoxi gave a cold laugh and raised her right hand, waving it gently toward the two guards behind him who were preparing to draw their swords.
The telekinesis that had already been lying in ambush on the side instantly surged over, restraining their limbs and forcibly shoving the wooden swords they had drawn back into their scabbards.
How could she not be on guard against these two Tree God Guards on the surface.
Just as Jiguang had not panicked when he had a sword held to his neck by the opponent, she also knew the weakness of the Tree God Guards.
Their power came from the transcendent weapons bestowed by the Tree God; they themselves were actually still ordinary people.
So as long as they were not allowed to fully activate the Tree God weapons, or if they themselves were directly dealt with, it would be fine.
“You!” Guan Kelai had not expected this scene, and a hint of fear finally appeared on his face.
He looked at the Tree God Guards behind him who were as stiff as puppets, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty, and turned back to roar with forced bravado:
“Let them go, and I will cooperate with you!”
“Too late!” Yun Ruoxi smiled slightly, “I am not some kind-hearted child.”
Snap!
Yun Ruoxi snapped her fingers.
The heads of the two Tree God Guards directly twisted dozens of times with a crack-crack sound, being forcibly torn off and falling into Guan Kelai’s arms.
