Seeing Lin Zhen actually confront Instructor Xiaguang’s pressure head-on, Yun Ruoxi was genuinely surprised.
“This guy really doesn’t care about his life?”
The instructors in the battle camp were all ruthless characters with blood-stained hands, each having at least tens of thousands of lives on their consciences.
Killing a single trainee to them was as easy as crushing an ant, probably without even blinking an eye.
That said.
Even with the battle camp’s rules restricting them, if they really wanted to strike, they wouldn’t face severe punishment.
After all, Yun Ruoxi and the others were still just trainees, not yet full-fledged members of the Holy Hand Society.
Lin Zhen daring to face Xiaguang like that was somewhat bold.
But when she heard Xiaguang’s question of “No dating allowed,” Yun Ruoxi nearly burst out laughing.
What exactly was Xiaguang talking about?
She was well aware that although Lin Zhen lived on a trash planet and was more mature than most children his age, he had never developed romantic feelings toward her.
At his age, his body was still developing.
His craving for machinery and knowledge probably exceeded any interest in girls by several times.
Besides, he lived in a hellish environment like the battle camp.
Under such immense pressure.
If someone that young—eleven or twelve—actually had those kinds of thoughts, Yun Ruoxi would definitely have to give a thumbs-up and respectfully call him Your Excellency, truly the Chosen of Lust, the Interstellar Age Lancer Hero.
So, to be precise.
The bond between Lin Zhen and Yun Ruoxi was more like someone rescuing a little kitten.
Though not taking it home, they couldn’t help but feed it and check on it from time to time.
Only, Lin Zhen was kind by nature, and Yun Ruoxi was consciously maintaining this connection.
That was why this attachment felt especially deep.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the scene.
Lin Zhen looked at the healing device and spoke without turning his head:
“You’re here.”
“Mm!” Zi Jiu’s figure entered from off-screen, followed shortly by Yun Che and the others.
After a while, Kai’os came running over, panting heavily.
They actually all came………… Yun Ruoxi’s face flashed with a hint of surprise.
Then, when she saw Zi Jiu and the others decide to stay with Lin Zhen until she woke up after hearing what he said, a warmth unconsciously flickered in her eyes.
Missing daily training might lead to punishment.
But these guys had agreed without hesitation…
No wonder they were important figures—both their courage and charisma were not to be underestimated.
“There are still a few days until the annual assessment.
They won’t punish us for such a small matter at this critical time.”
In the frame, Lin Zhen smiled and comforted her a little.
Alright, so it had been planned all along……….. Yun Ruoxi chuckled softly and turned her gaze away from the screen.
She stood up, stepped across the burning buildings, and passed by mountains of piled corpses without a glance.
She paused in front of the laughing dominator’s phantom, raised her hand, and gave it the middle finger.
Still not satisfied.
Then she slapped it twice loudly with the back of her hand.
This time, Yun Ruoxi’s mood immediately lifted quite a bit.
“You like disgusting me, huh? I’ve noted this debt.”
She continued forward, then caught a glimpse of the weak, sobbing version of herself from her memories.
She had been truly fragile then.
Pampered for ten years, completely turned into a whiny, soft little girl.
Thankfully, the “forging” by the dominator and the battle camp helped her regain the toughness she once had as a man, deep down in her bones.
Yun Ruoxi clenched her fists tightly.
Without looking back, she kept moving forward, all the memories behind her fading away like flying ashes.
Soon, she reached the edge of her memories.
It was an endless cliff, below which was a thick, impenetrable darkness.
Without hesitation, she leapt.
When she opened her eyes again, her consciousness had returned to the real world.
Although her brain still throbbed painfully, it didn’t interfere much.
S-Class Will was no joke; it was the limit of willpower she could reach at her age.
A minor mental injury was nothing to mention.
The blue liquid inside the healing device gently swayed.
Yun Ruoxi opened her eyes and just caught sight of two sleepy faces pressed against the glass cover.
Lin Zhen and Zi Jiu had actually fallen asleep leaning on the glass cover!
She couldn’t help but laugh softly, opening her mouth to blow two streams of bubbles into the healing fluid.
Puru, puru…
The bubbles woke the two light sleepers.
Lin Zhen’s eyes brightened instantly when he saw the girl awake:
“Xiao Xi, you’re awake?”
The healing device was well soundproofed.
Yun Ruoxi read his lips, her eyes curved as she blew two more bubbles, then drew a wobbly heart on the glass with her finger.
“Awake?” Upon hearing this, Tie An and the others also got up from the ground and hurried over.
But their happy point was a bit different.
“Xiao Xi’s awake, doesn’t that mean we can go back to sleep?”
“Sleep, sleep, all you know is sleep.” Kai’os couldn’t help but complain.
Yun Ruoxi felt somewhat grateful in her heart that no matter who came, they were willing to wait for her here.
She returned a warm smile to all of them.
“Xiao Xi is really adorable, this smile warms even my dead body.”
“Lao Lin kept insisting they were just friends. Such stubbornness. Seeing Xiao Xi wake up, his eyes nearly popped out.”
“Is there going to be a love triangle? Zi Jiu’s gaze toward Lin Zhen does seem a bit different.”
“I, Lv Ziqiao, love watching women fight the most.”
After seeing Yun Ruoxi awake and in good condition, Lin Zhen, Zi Jiu, and the others didn’t stay long.
After bidding farewell, they all left the healing chamber.
They still hadn’t finished their training task for the day.
Actually, this was also the reason Yun Ruoxi had woken up early on purpose.
She didn’t want them to be punished for guarding her unnecessarily.
Once everyone left, Yun Ruoxi opened her system panel.
She had absorbed Star Frost with a mortal body, so her Spirit Power should have improved.
【Name: Yun Ruoxi · Yelan】
【Age: 11 years old】
【Reputation: Widely Known (Appearance)】
【Role: Female Second Lead (Antagonist)】
【Stellar Energy Index: 1】
【Potential: A+(???)】
【Bloodline: A-class Bloodline (Awakening Level 1%) Unknown Bloodline (Not Awakened)】
【Physical Attributes: Strength C+ → B+, Agility B+ → A+, Will S, Constitution B+ → A, Spirit Power B+ → A+】
【Current Skills: Ultimate Acting, Beast Instinct, Pain Shield, Learning Mindset, Brain Enhancement, Super Sensory Perception, Synesthesia Field (Current self-development 50%, can spend 60,000 popularity to fully develop)】
【Popularity: 102,273】
【Popularity Debt: 100,000】
Originally, after exchanging for Ultimate Acting, Yun Ruoxi’s popularity was less than sixty thousand.
But between episodes three and four, many new viewers started watching “Star,” bringing her another forty thousand popularity.
Yun Ruoxi’s gaze landed on the panel.
The additional 20% development of Synesthesia Field, as well as the growth in all attributes except Spirit Power, were the results of her hard cultivation over these past ten months, unrelated to the Star Frost.
However, even so, the Star Frost had directly boosted her Spirit Power from B+ to A+, and forcibly developed 1% of her Stellar Energy Bloodline.
Its effect was truly strong.
Yun Ruoxi secretly clicked her tongue.
Spirit Power was one of the hardest attributes to improve, directly related to the Stellar Energy user’s brain domain calculation power, which determined most of their ability strength.
This was why Star Frost was so precious.
“The dominator really gave me quite the gift.”
Yun Ruoxi curled the corners of her mouth, happily blowing another stream of bubbles.
The dominator’s original intention was definitely malicious, but somehow it had worked out well on her.
That was quite an ironic thing.
If the dominator knew this, next time, he definitely wouldn’t give her Star Frost again.
Of course her toughness comes from her past life as a man. This is why I don’t usually read gender bender.
