Chapter 1180: Becoming Stronger 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everything seemed to slow down as Yurian rushed towards T-rex with a short bayonet in his arm. It was obvious that he had borrowed the strength from the others as he used Savior’s ability. However, no one knew how many people’s worth of strength he had borrowed this time around.

He took the opportunity and stepped forward and slashed T-rex’s left shoulder when T-rex had lessened the intensity of the soundwaves.

Thud!!

There was a huge thud as the bayonet in Yuria’s hand gave off a unique sound.

Yuria had activated the Savior’s ability in which strength was borrowed from the others and finally landed a critical hit on T-rex’s electrical supply’s central pivot point, which was his left shoulder.

It was finally over.

T-rex fell as he stared at him with dissatisfaction. The soundwave was cut off and he was nothing but a shell without an energy source.

On the other hand, Yuria finally revealed a bright smile while his skin stayed purplish red with his buffed body.

“Indeed... The essence of combat is to see who is more shameless...” He looked at the sun as he committed Brother Saber’s sacred advice in mind even though he did not realize his life was heading towards a twisted path no one had set foot on before...

“Idiot!!”

A cold voice came from the helicopter above him.

The voice put Yuria who had relaxed down back into the anxiety phase.

He looked up to realize that the helicopter which sent T-rex here had unknowingly arrived just above him. Inside it was a silver-haired man with a black eyepatch who was slowly wearing his white gloves.

“What a disgusting victory!” The man said coldly. “Let me show you what a real combat looks like...” He stood up as he prepared to jump down from the helicopter.

Slap.

Suddenly a huge hair hand grabbed onto his arm from behind.

“Let me handle it,” a middle age uncle in white shirt squeezed to the front. He had shoulder-length brown hair and the edge of his lips were arced in such a way that he seemed to be putting on a smile on his fully bearded face.

“Yindu,” White Coat said with a smile on his face. “You have more important things to do.”

The one-eyed man did not oppose him as he scoffed and sat back down.

White Coat gently reached out one of his hands and revealed a twisted smile.

“How dare you, toying and destroying my puppet to such extent...” He looked T-rex in a deplored manner. “I have spent a lot of time and energy to finish modifying him...”

Puppet!!?

Yuria, Yurijie and even Reid who had been numbed by the chains of events felt their heart sinking.

T-rex, that monster who had almost massacred everyone in the scene was just a puppet?!

“Do remember my name?” The middle-aged man in the white coat clenched his fist. “I am Jiatai, the Root Doctor.”

Pew pew pew pew...

In a blink of an eye, countless of Steel Needle flew up and went straight towards Yuria. These Steel Needles were spread out previously by T-rex and they had become a controllable weapon to this weird man!?

Pew pew pew. It headed towards Yuria as if it was a heavy rain, hitting every single spot of Yuria’s body.

“Brother!!!” Yurijie screamed as she panicked.

The moment his sister’s voice reached him, he had already felt pain. He knew that the moment he heard her, he had already been struck by the needles.

Not a single spot on his body was not in pain.

“At times like these...” He knew that this was the result of having a huge gap in strength. His opponent’s attack was too fast and he was not able to react in time at all. “What should I do?”

Garen’s face appeared in front of him once more as he closed his eyes.

“Brother Saber... Tell me. What should I do...”

“I have been extremely shameless to the point where I can’t be worse than I currently am. I still couldn’t close the gap even if I try to be as shameless as possible...”

“At times like this...” Garen spoke. “You have to play dead!”

“That’s right! Play Dead!!!” Inspiration flashed across Yuria’s eyes as he bit the tip of his tongue and spit the blood out of his mouth.

He then slowly fell on his back and shut his tired eyes up.

The blood flowed all over the place...

“I guess I have yet become the most shameless man if I didn’t immediately think of playing dead...” As Yuria closed his eyes, a thought flashed across his mind. “This is all thanks to the Head Minister!” A sense of respect filled his heart once more.

“If you’re still this weak and boring the next time we meet,” the middle-aged man uncle in white coat spoke once more. “I’ll kill you,” his undoubted confidence was embedded in his tone.

Then, the sound of the helicopter going into the distance could be heard.

*********

“Is he dead?” Nine-Tailed Fox covered her mouth.

“He’s playing dead,” Garen concealed his face as he seemed to have taught a normal man into a shameless man that the world had never seen before...

“Well, you’re the one who taught him...” Nine-Tailed Fox laughed again.

Both of them knew that it was impossible for Yuria to die. Afterall, he was one of Four Great Cornerstones. He would at most reincarnate if he lost his physical body and it is the perk of being the Four Great Cornerstones. Only the other Four Great Cornerstones could absorb their strength and ensure that they would not be revived.

Then, they stopped their banter as they looked at Yuria who was laying on the deck from afar.

“Something is off,” Nine-Tailed Fox frowned.

“What’s wrong?” Garen was not as informed as the Nine-Tailed Fox in terms of the Plot.

“According to the Plot, Yuria should have released his new ability here...” Nine-Tailed Fox said softly.

“New ability?”

“Yes. It is a type of Hydra-based ability,” Nine-Tailed Fox’s eyes were brimming with skepticism. “However, it didn’t happen.”

“What would the end result be if we were to go with the original Plot?” Garen asked.

“He should be seriously injured by T-rex in the original Plot. Jiatai the Root Doctor shouldn’t appear this early as well.”

“Oh? Is that so? Garen then recalled those policemen who appeared out of the blue and the man who initiated the attack. Those people seemed to be working in a group and were most likely related to the Nine-Tailed Fox. However, she did not seem to plan to talk about it.

On the other hand, the people from Vulture, regardless if it was T-rex, the Root Doctor or even Yindu who appeared at the end of the scene most likely viewed the policemen as their enemies. It would not make sense since they killed them without any hesitation.

“Is Vulture an organization that rebels the government?” Garen whispered.

“That’s not possible...” Nine-Tailed Fox shook her head. “Even I am not sure what is going on at the moment. Vulture is the largest military organization in the Red Nation. Why would they go against the government? They are part of the government after all.”

“If they are not a rebel, why would they kill these policemen?” Garen continued his questioning.

“This is something I can’t make sense of as well,” Nine-Tailed Fox shook her head.

“Let’s continue observing then,” Garen said softly.

“Alright.”

Then, Yurijie and the others soon arrived the yacht and started saving Yuria’s life.

Yuria was quickly covered in clothes and brought over to their own yacht. The weapon merchant, Galouro ignored everyone and left the area as he brought the two siblings away. Soon, they disappeared from the crowd’s line of sight.

“Alright. It’s time for us to head over and clean up the mess,” Nine-Tailed Fox dusted her shirt and walked forward.

Garen laughed and followed her lead.

********

There was no news of the siblings for a few days ever since the attack.

Garen and Nine-Tailed Fox stayed in the Zhatong City for two days before returning back to the Lily of the Valley. He was fortunate that Kong Xinxue had covered up the entire thing up with her lies as she said that Garen had gone to participate in some sort of a last minute summer camp to experience the learning activities. Fortunately, Kong Yuan bought his exceptional and dazzling daughter’s surreal story and there was not much of a problem from this end.

Once they had returned, they gathered once more with the rest for a meal as they discussed the issues regarding the Plot’s deviation.

Garen then went back alone as he started to ponder on the issue of raising his own Combat Power.

He felt that it would be too exhausting to face against Vulture purely with Saber Art. If he were to battle on a troublesome terrain such as in the sea, he would no longer have a focus point and it would be extremely disadvantageous towards his Saber Art.

This was because his Saber Art required extreme precision. The lethality of his attack would lessen if the deviation increased.

Furthermore, he did not have any good solutions for dealing with long-range attacks.

“What technique should I use to deal with fighting on the sea? Which is a very disadvantageous environment,” Garen sat on his knees in his room as he pondered.

“It’s best to stick with what I’ve been doing in the past when it comes to fighting against long-range opponents. Firearms is a good choice but I won’t be having it with me all the time. The best way is to evade and reduce the distance between my opponent and I. Unfortunately...” It was indeed very troublesome when he thought of fighting in a sea and he felt that this method was very exhausting.

“It’s rather exhausting to fight against them purely with his Saber Art. If there were ten more monsters as strong at Vulture’s T-rex going after me, I would find it too difficult to handle them as well,” Garen felt that the Steel Needles Technique was too powerful as it rained upon him. He would be in great trouble if it was combined with the infrasonic waves. The infrasonic waves were strong enough to crack the walls, hence it would be worse for him who only had a small, fragile body.

“Whatever. It’s best for me to enhance my Saber Art the hard way. Since my Saber Art has reached Full Completion in the Realm of Sword Master, it would solve the issue of fighting straight up against them if I can go above another grade.”

The next day, Garen went to class as usual as he led and trained a team of people from the Unrestricted Combat Department at noon. The group of people kept waving their wooden sabers about as they shouted like an idiot swinging their sabers wildly.

Garen was sitting on his knees at one side alone as he pondered on something. Suddenly, a dark shadow blocked the sun away from him.

Garen looked up and it was Yuria who had disappeared for the past few days.

“Saber One?”

“No Brother Saber. I am now Saber Two and my sister is Saber One,” Yuria said with a stern face.

“Alright... Saber Two,” Garen analyzed Yuria’s physical condition. “You haven’t come here for training for a few days already, right?”

“Yes,” Yuria was covered with bandages from head to toe and he looked extremely wounded. The rest of the group who were training not far away from him showed their curiosity as they saw his terrible condition and they would most likely rush towards him to ask for an explanation.

“Judging from your terrible appearance, I assume you’ve been assaulted by someone?” Garen said as he guessed. Although he knew what had happened to him, he still had to act dumb. “Why are you here when you’re supposed to rest at home?”

“Brother Saber!”

Yuria then bowed down. His actions were so drastic that it would make anyone surprised.

“Please train me!! I want to become stronger!!”

“Oh?”

Garen squinted.
