Chapter 211.1
Chapter 211.1
“Your response is too slow. If you encounter a fast zombie, you won’t even have time to react.” Billy disdainfully slammed another player to the ground and said casually, ”Your reflexes are as sluggish as a block of wood. If you want to survive, you must diligently practice your agility.”
Since there were a total of 140 trainees, it would take too long for Sally to fight alone. Therefore, he went to the top and planned to seek assistance from someone.
Unexpectedly, Billy overheard and volunteered to come over.
Although Sally didn’t know what was going on, he suspected that something was amiss. Therefore, while fighting the player, his eyes remained fixed on Billy.
After more than an hour, Billy seemed to be doing nothing significant, except for occasional arrogant comments. Everything else appeared quite ordinary.
Only a few dozen players remained among those who hadn’t practiced yet.
Sally glanced at the players and pointed towards someone from the group. “You, come over here.”
Li Cancan was momentarily stunned, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Sally.
“Wait.” Just as she had taken two steps, a malicious voice pierced through the air and gradually approached. “It would be more suitable for me to take charge of this female ability user.”
Li Cancan hesitated, casting a vigilant gaze towards the source of the voice—Billy.
Sally’s brow furrowed slightly. “What do you mean?”
Billy shrugged nonchalantly. “What else could I mean? I simply find it regrettable. There are so few female ability users like her. I think it would be better for you to leave her to me.”
Li Cancan’s face momentarily turned pale, then grew gloomy. Her fists, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tightly. She was about to speak when Sally interrupted, “Billy, this is my class, and these are my students.”
“Don’t think I’m truly afraid of you. If we fight, I might not lose to you.”
Billy snorted softly. “So, you’re going to fight for this female ability user, huh?”
Sally affirmed, “Yes.”
Billy nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders and casually pointed his finger towards the crowd as he said, “Well, I don’t care too much. She is not the only woman in the world, so I will choose another one. You don’t want that one too, do you?”
He was pointing at Xia Chi.
Everyone’s gaze fell upon him simultaneously, their eyes filled with concern.
Li Cancan’s face turned pale, and she turned around as if to say something, but Sally grabbed hold of her.
Sally glanced at Xia Chi. “Alright, but I’ll keep a close eye on you, Billy.”
Billy retorted, “Hey, who do you think I am? I took the time and effort to come here and assist you with training, and you treat me like a thief. Put in the effort and train hard. There’s no need to guard against me like that.”
Sally pursed his lips and remained silent.
Just as Bai Lixin was about to extend his hand, Xia Chi pushed it down.
In response to Bai Lixin’s astonished gaze, Xia Chi gently shook his head and spoke in a low voice, “Brother, I want to test for myself how much difference exists between my current level and quasi-S level. If I get beaten, you’ll have to avenge me.”
Upon hearing Xia Chi’s words, Bai Lixin did not intervene, but simply nodded slightly and took two steps back to create space.
Upon seeing Xia Chi stepping forward, Billy redirected all his attention, scrutinizing Xia Chi from head to toe with narrowed eyes before grinning. “Not bad.”
Xia Chi’s face flushed with anger.
Billy promptly arched an eyebrow and condescendingly remarked in a lazy tone, “Go ahead, show off your abilities and attack me.”
In the next second, a pitch-black gun materialized in front of Xia Chi, launching an relentless assault on Billy without leaving a trace.
Billy was strong, exceptionally strong. Despite Xia Chi possessing an ability that others would envy, he was no match for Billy in the slightest.
On seeing Xia Chi’s ability, Billy was momentarily surprised. The following second, his body swiftly turned into metal, effortlessly deflecting the bullets that could easily kill countless zombies as soon as they grazed his arm.
Then, Billy’s fist descended with force, striking Xia Chi hard. Xia Chi’s eyes froze, and he narrowly evaded the attack by swiftly leaping up. However, upon landing, Billy’s fist promptly caught up.
Every time the fist was on the verge of connecting, Xia Chi managed to dodge it, only for the fist to relentlessly pursue him as soon as he touched the ground.
Like a persistent shadow, it clung to him unwaveringly.
Xia Chi glared at Billy with anger, noticing a faint red glow in his eyes.
Billy was laughing, exuding the savage and cruel smile of a hunter toying with its prey.
Confronted with absolute strength, Xia Chi felt like a mouse being teased by a cat, each strike poking at his taut nerves.
It was true that the opponent hadn’t unleashed their full brutality yet, perhaps due to Sally’s repeated warnings or simply because the opponent desired to play with them in this manner.

[Fuck! I can’t endure this any longer. What’s the deal with this NPC named Billy? Isn’t he the blatant antagonist of the story?]
[Exploiting the strong against the weak, wielding power to bully others, and using size to intimidate the small—our innocent angel, Xia Chi, is suffering too much.]
[How can someone like this reach quasi-S rank? Isn’t this more terrifying than zombies? Sometimes, malicious companions are scarier than enemies, right? Anyone who provokes such a villain will be in trouble.]
[Skill alone cannot determine one’s character. In reality, there are many people who possess abilities but lack integrity.]
[Even hooligans can be educated.]
[Xia Chi, our little sun, please stay safe and don’t let anything happen.]

Bai Lixin stealthily moved behind Samael, concealing his figure under his voluminous cloak and closing his eyes.
Instantly, thousands of red spiritual threads burst forth, writhing in the air like serpents in water.
The red threads twisted and contorted, scrambling to soar towards the two individuals in the center of the field.
Countless large and small flames materialized before his eyes.
Among them, Billy, who was engaged in combat on the playground, burned the brightest—a blue flame almost whitish in hue. In comparison, Xia Chi’s flames on the opposite side appeared pitifully small.
Yet, amidst those fiery flames, Bai Lixin observed something distinct.
It was a white-glowing crystal nucleus. The reason for the variation in flame color among Billy and the others present was this luminous crystal nucleus.
A few days ago, Dr. Sang had performed an organ transplant on Billy. Presumably, the transplanted heart contained the crystal nucleus of a supernatural being known as Yuan.
It seemed that the supernatural ability’s power had not been fully assimilated, leading to this transformation.
S419M’s voice echoed in his mind: [Lord Host, based on my brief analysis, there is a 10% chance of successfully approaching and absorbing the opponent’s crystal nucleus.]
[You can give it a try.]
Bai Lixin pondered for a moment, just as he was preparing to advance, exclamations suddenly erupted around him.
The flame representing Xia Chi’s power swiftly dwindled.
Bai Lixin abruptly opened his eyes, witnessing Xia Chi crumpling to the ground. Billy’s fist struck his abdomen with force, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from Xia Chi’s mouth.
Sally’s roar reverberated across the playground, “Billy, what are you doing!”
Billy stood up, disdainfully flinging the blood off his hands, and innocently remarked, “He’s so powerful that I’ve chased him numerous times without success. I wanted to test and enhance my own strength. As you know, I recently acquired Yuan’s ability, and I’m still adjusting to it. I accidentally exerted too much force.”
Bai Lixin’s face paled for a moment as he hurried to Xia Chi’s side. Xia Chi had already lost consciousness.
A dense green light instantly enveloped Xia Chi’s body, but after a few seconds, his pale complexion showed no signs of improvement.
Liang Xi and the others hurried over, panic-stricken, and knelt on the ground.
Liang Xi’s fingers were trembling fingers as he exerted all his power on Xia Chi, he cried out, “What’s happening? Why isn’t it working? Xia Chi, wake up, Xia Chi.”
“Oh,” Billy leaned over from behind, his voice dripping with mockery, “Is the healing technique useless?”
“How could this be? I only used a small amount of strength.”
“Oh, I see. I divided the force, but it seems the force dissipated, and I ended up using too much in an instant. With his small body, his bones and organs shattered instantly. I’m afraid even the gods won’t be able to save him.”
“Ah, I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to. As you can see, I’ve been teaching those ability users well, and this was just a mistake.”
“Shut up!” Zhou Guang raised his head and shouted, interrupting Billy’s rambling. “You know best whether it was intentional or not.”
Billy’s smile slowly faded as he stood upright and looked down at the group of people. “No matter what you say, the truth is before you. Even if the prosecutor comes, I can’t be convicted based on mere words.”
“Whether I did it on purpose or not, you can’t convict me with mere accusations. Heh, a bunch of losers huddling together for warmth. If you have time to frame me, think about how to arrange this young man’s funeral.”
Zhou Guang’s eyes turned red, and he was about to lunge at Billy in anger when a slender hand firmly grasped his arm. “Calm down. Don’t fall for his provocation.”
Bai Lixin retrieved a black pearl necklace hidden inside his collar and restrained Zhou Guang at the same time.
With a black light emanating, Xia Chi’s body visibly recovered.
Billy and Sally looked on in surprise.
The next moment, Xia Chi groaned in pain and slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he saw Bai Lixin, Xia Chi threw himself into Bai Lixin’s arms, “Wuuu…”
After a moment of relief, Bai Lixin swallowed the lump in his throat and said, “It’s okay, it was all an illusion.”
Xia Chi continued to complain, “But it felt so real. Black and White Wuhong were accompanied by a brat claiming to be King Yama. He insisted you’re his father and said he would let me go through the back door and invite me to Yama’s Palace for a feast.”
Everyone: “…”
Bai Lixin: “…” Well, it seems true.
As Xia Chi regained his strength, he looked around and saw that he was surrounded by people, their eyes red.
He paused for a moment and asked, “Why are you crying?”
Liang Xi, with red eyes, replied, “Xia Chi, you almost died just now. Do you have any idea how scared we were?”
Xia Chi blinked and said, “Hey, you guys. Don’t you remember? My brother has a resurrection item. You don’t believe me, but you should believe in my brother. I never thought I would actually die. My intuition has never lied to me.”
Everyone: “…”
We’re sorry. We let our emotions get the best of us.
Bai Lixin: “…”
No, Tan Yue and Xia Chi, you are putting me under so much pressure.

In the live broadcast room.
[Xia Chi the Little Sun is too cute. How can there be such a cute player? He turns tragedy into comedy.]
[Xia Chi can be carefree because he has God Xin supporting him. It’s all thanks to our God Xin.]
[For a moment, I thought Xia Chi had really left us, and I couldn’t bear to look.]
[Did Xia Chi just mention Black and White Wuhong and King Yama Could it be Master Tuanzi?]
[Fuck? Was that dream connection? I never thought that could happen.]
[By the way, Master Tuanzi is also very cute. Will we have a chance to meet him in the future?]
[Oh, yes, that little kid. I remember now! So he became Yama. What about the former Yama? Hey, wasn’t the former Yama the big boss?]
[Do we even need to ask? The big boss left to chase after God Xin.]
[Where are you? Where am I? Tsk tsk tsk, it’s like a melodramatic ‘runaway wife’ story.]
[“Here is the book.”]
——————-
Seeing that Sally was about to drive Billy away, Bai Lixin handed Xia Chi to Liang Xi, turned around, and stood up to stop Sally. “Teacher Sally, isn’t the training still ongoing?”
Sally was a little confused but still nodded matter-of-factly. “That’s right, I’ll just have some real combat exercises with you.”
Bai Lixin glanced at Billy, his eyes instantly turning cold. “Instructor Billy is here. It’s a rare opportunity for us to be guided by a quasi-S-level instructor, and I cherish this chance.”
Sally’s brows furrowed. “Have you thought it through?”
Bai Lixin nodded. “Of course. I just don’t know if Instructor Billy will give me this opportunity.”
Billy almost burst out laughing. “Sure thing! I’m happy to accompany you.”
Bai Lixin’s eyes dimmed as he slowly turned his head to look at Sally. His gaze fell on the long knife behind Sally. “But I’m a mental power user. I don’t have the ability to enhance my body, so I need to use weapons. Is that okay, Instructor Billy?”
Billy didn’t take Bai Lixin seriously at all, let alone using weapons. It didn’t matter if he brought in two more foreign aids.
However, he pretended to hesitate for a moment before reluctantly nodding. “Of course.”
Bai Lixin requested, “Teacher Sally, can you lend me the long knife you’re carrying?”
Sally, faced with Bai Lixin’s determined gaze, had no choice but to compromise.
He took the heavy long knife from his back and placed it in Bai Lixin’s hand. He asked with concern, “The long knife weighs fifty catties. Can you really lift it? The training hasn’t started yet, so you still have a chance to back out. If you say the word, I won’t let Billy touch you.”
Bai Lixin glanced at Xia Chi and Li Cancan behind him, then snatched the long knife from Sally. “Thank you, Teacher Sally, but I truly cherish this opportunity.”
You bullied Xia Chi and Li Cancan, and still want to retreat unscathed?
I will send you to meet my good son. No, Billy is a Westerner. He should go to hell.
Xia Chi, supported by Liang Xi, stood behind Bai Lixin, raising his fist arrogantly. “Come on, brother! Kill him!”
Lin Jue commented lazily, “Yeah, kill one for God’s sake.”
Song Yuantian’s eyes flickered.
Sally: “…”
What’s wrong with these people?
Why do they treat it so lightly?
Do they really believe in the abilities of youth without question? Is it ignorance?
Billy is a quasi-S-level power user. What can this young man use to fight against him?
From their actions on the battlefield before, I thought they had promising futures, but now it seems they can be easily bullied.
Ugh, it’s annoying.
A bunch of idiots.
Don’t cry to me later!
Sally sighed, shook his head, and stopped interfering in the matter. He quietly took two steps back.
The young man took the long knife in his hand and casually flicked it twice. The sharp blade cut through the air, creating a whistling sound.
What a good knife.
This high-quality material can even cut through metal. Perfect for cutting a metal arm.
