Chapter 209: Chapter 209 Red Heart A
“Days without you are truly boring,” Lin Shen discovered it was actually a text message, with the signature “Red Heart A” below it.
“What is this? Could it be that the watch is not only a teleporter but also a communication device? If that’s the case, then this message must be from someone else to the weirdo,” Lin Shen mused as he looked at the message.
“With this tone, the relationship between Red Heart A who sent the message and the weirdo must be out of the ordinary, and it’s very likely that they have lost contact with each other.”
“I wonder if I can reply to the message?” After studying the feature for a while, Lin Shen found that he could indeed reply to messages.
He touched the message, and the watch projected a virtual light shadow for replying.
Lin Shen didn’t reply to the message. He was still suspicious, wondering if the weirdo had discovered that he wasn’t dead and was setting a trap to lure him in.
“Where on earth have you gone? Why aren’t you back yet? This world is really too boring, only when I occasionally encounter some tough problems do I feel a slight joy. Oh right, I recently came across an interesting problem. I’m sending it to you to have a look, if you’re still alive, solve it and get back to me with a message,” came another message.
The watch vibrated again; a new message had come through.
Lin Shen had just finished reading when his watch vibrated a second time. This time, the message was not text but a video clip, which left Lin Shen somewhat startled after watching it.
The ‘problem’ mentioned by Red Heart A was actually a finger skill that looked very ordinary.
The video showed a person using the finger skill, which was just a single move that seemed very simple.
At first, Lin Shen really thought the finger skill was particularly simple, but after watching it a few times, he realized that things were not that straightforward.
What seemed like a simple finger technique actually contained many unexpected changes.
Lin Shen didn’t realize it at first, but a subsequent text message made him understand that within this seemingly ordinary move, there were so many variations.
“Here is my solution. I think, with your cleverness and wisdom, you should have a better one,” the message ended with the signature Red Heart A.
“Who exactly is this Red Heart A? Their solution is too bizarre and eerie,” Lin Shen deduced the variations of the move through their solution.
The more he explored, the more enigmatic the move seemed, yet he was also amazed by Red Heart A’s martial arts accomplishments and cultivation; their method of solution was even more bewildering.
Merely with that one finger skill and its corresponding solution, Lin Shen watched it many times and still couldn’t fully understand it.
“Interesting, this is so interesting. What exactly is the origin of that weirdo? His friend is so formidable. It seems he must be stronger than I imagined,” Lin Shen became intrigued. However, he dared not reply to Red Heart A’s message and instead began learning from the solution given by Red Heart A.
He found that this finger skill actually had some similarities to the stabbing technique taught to him by Wei Wufu, but it was more strange and unpredictable than Wei’s technique, with an even more mysterious method of power generation.
“Professional matters should be handled by professionals. I wonder when Wei will be back; this is the sort of thing he should be doing,” Lin Shen struggled to deduce on his own and longed for Wei Wufu’s return.
With him around, the reversal could probably be figured out with ease, and Lin Shen would just need to reap the benefits.
“Ah well, I will just study it slowly for now.” Not knowing when Wei Wufu would return, Lin Shen could only start researching on his own.
These days, a new batch of Mutators had entered the Realm King Planet, including many top Crystal Base Powerhouses, naturally aiming for Qing Jia.
Zuo Qinglong had already contacted many top Mutators, intending to ambush and kill Qing Jia.
After several young geniuses were defeated and even killed, Zuo Qinglong’s team finally arrived at Qing Jia’s location.
Under Zuo Qinglong’s command, more than a dozen top Mutators from various elite families worked together, launching long-range attacks and defending up-close, setting up a battle formation that besieged Qing Jia for nearly a day.
In the end, however, Qing Jia broke through the battle formation, killed many Mutated Crystal Base pets, and unfortunately, two Mutators fell victim, while the rest fled in disarray to save their lives.
The blood-soaked Qing Jia, standing on the corpses of the Mutators, flipped the middle finger at the fleeing Zuo Qinglong and others, making all humans around the world feel shame.
Lin Shen, while training at the training camp, also watched this battle.
Instructor Mu, in a rare move, allowed them to pause their training to seriously watch the entire process of this battle.
Lin Shen could only say that the defeat of Zuo Qinglong and others was not due to their conduct in battle.
They had already performed well enough. Although their cooperation couldn’t be said to be flawless, it also had no mistakes.
The reason for their loss was simply because Qing Jia was too strong.
When Qing Jia’s horns on his head shone with light, his body cloaked in a layer of azure glow, it seemed as if the rest of the world dimmed in comparison.
The favored sons of mankind seemed powerless under Qing Jia’s fists, Mutated Crystal Bases shattered with a single punch, and even crystal life forms larger than the Mammoth Giant Elephant couldn’t withstand his punch and burst apart.
The battle formation that could initially suppress him quickly became unmanageable, collapsing in just a few breaths like a breached dike, as each one had to escape ignominiously.
“That Qing Jia from the Ultra-Burn Tribe does have something indeed, that must be some kind of Innate Skill to stimulate potential, right? The effect doesn’t seem inferior to Gift Theory at all,” He Fang commented.
“It lasts even longer than Gift Theory, if Bai were to face him, I’m afraid it would be a tough battle,” Lv Ying said pessimistically as always.
“Very strong,” was Ling Luo’s brief comment.
“Speed, Strength, hardness, and Toughness all greatly enhanced, but the key is that stamina also increased, which is really unscientific. If potential is being overdrawn, stamina should have decreased,” Tian Buku and Tian Bunaon spoke in their usual way, as though their voice had an echo effect.
“Lin Shen, what do you think?” Instructor Mu looked toward Lin Shen. This was an assignment he gave his disciples: after watching the battle, they had to provide their own assessment and not just copy their brothers.
“I don’t understand,” Lin Shen shook his head.
He meant it, as he lacked some basic skills, he couldn’t comprehend the team strategies of Zuo Qinglong and the others, so he didn’t see exactly where they failed, only that Qing Jia seemed overwhelmingly strong.
“It’s okay if you don’t understand, I’ll let you experience it firsthand,” Instructor Mu said, a devilish smile creeping across his lips.
Seeing this smile, He Fang, Ling Luo, and the others almost subconsciously stepped back, leaving Lin Shen alone at the front.
“Good, I like students who actively seek progress. You’ll do the demonstration,” Instructor Mu said with a smile.
“Demonstrate what?” Lin Shen had a bad feeling and stepped back while speaking, but it was already a step too late.
“Demonstrate how to take a beating,” Instructor Mu said as he threw a punch at him.
His fist was as fast and ferocious as Qing Jia’s, and even carried the same unstoppable momentum.
Lin Shen finally fully understood; Instructor Mu intended to use him as a punching bag to demonstrate Qing Jia’s punching technique to his senior brothers.
