The Eternal System
System 31: True Self
Li Chen who turned his head and looked at the surroundings was full of subordinates of Ting Zhao's dying people, and not a few also died as a result of his attack.
While Haishe who had come to see the result of the fight was staring and looking doubtfully at Li Chen.
“Now who looks more brutal?”
“Close your mouth”
Li Chen understood that Haishe said about her being quite powerful and also brutal in killing those 34 people by herself. Without getting a single scar or a small scratch on his body.
Haishe saw the group of people frowning and staring intently in wonder.
“What is the purpose of them coming here?” ask Haishe
“To kill me” said Li Chen
“Kill you?” mumbling Haishe
At that brief moment of conversation, Li Chen suddenly heard the sound of twigs and bushes that sounded quite slowly. He turned his head to the side and saw that one of Ting Zhao's subordinates was still alive and was crawling to escape.
Li Chen walked slowly towards that person and restrained his body by stepping on his back to the ground.
Duk!
“Ackh!”
“Where are you going?”
“Young master Li Chen. Pardon me! I was just forced to do this!”
He was thinking of interrogating the man. And also, Li Chen remembered himself who had just obtained a new skill.
“(True too. That new skill, I might be able to use to interrogate him)”
[ Skill : Bloodlust - activated ]
The eyes that opened wide with a bloodthirsty and merciless look within them felt terrifying to the point of making that person tremble in fear.
[The target has been affected by the skill ]
[Reduction in status by - 50% ]
[Composure for one minute ]
When Li Chen got the notification, he was surprised by the effect that lasted longer than the one listed. The question that popped into his head was immediately answered by the system.
[Target has a weak physical and also mental compared to ‘player’. The duration effect can be longer if the target faced has a weaker ability, and vice versa for targets that have high ability ]
“(It turns out so yes. That five-second duration was only average for a target that had abilities equivalent to mine)”
Without lingering, he approached right in front of that person's face with an aura full of killing thirst.
“I will only ask once. Is it true that sent you Lian Haochun?” ask Li Chen
“I-iya, sir! I would not dare to lie to you! Servant forced to do this, because lord Lian promised me some money!”
The man replied full of bodies that could not stop trembling. Li Chen who placed his foot on the wound-filled back could feel how frightened the person was.
And in general, people will tell the truth if the end of their lives will pick up. Li Chen sighed softly as if looking tired.
Before long, he opened his palm and brought up a red round pill. Unlike the cultivation pills, the size of the pills was much smaller and could be held in a hand using only two fingers squeezed like a medicinal tablet.
The pill was a low-grade HP healing pill. Li Chen got it as a mission completion reward he got from the system when he first came to that world.
He removed his legs from the person's back and lowered his head on par with the one lying on the ground. Li Chen stuffed the pill into his mouth directly.
“Eat this”
The man felt a pill being put into his mouth. However, his life that was slowly disappearing due to the injuries he received made him chew and swallow the pill without a second thought.
And suddenly, the wounds on the inside and outside of his body healed quickly. Scratches that open and look will be fiber oto in it is getting docked with smoke coming out on each side.
Cssss…..
“(He has a healing pill?!)”
While Haishe was deep in confusion, the person who was Ting Zhao's subordinate back then had fully recovered and stood up with both feet again.
He stared at Li Chen with an incredulous look. In a blink of an eye he saluted and looked down before him.
“Thank you very much, young master Li! Servant, Tang Lin will never forget your services and will always be at your service!”
Tang Lin became subservient to Li Chen for saving his life. Yet…
“Don't be happy just yet, your body is not fully healed. I'm just giving you a pill that treats your external wounds. My punch was attacking to your bones, so now your internal organs are still in the stage of healing themselves”
“This lowly servant thanks the young master for still giving mercy in spite of the deeds of the previous servant”
“Already. Go home, and never look for trouble again”
“Good, young master. I will never forget your service!”
The man turned around and ran out of the Sheng forest according to Li Chen's orders. While Li Chen himself sighed while holding the back of his neck as if he was exhausted.
“Haah. Lian Haochun, she really won't stay silent huh..”.
Li Chen turned his head back in light of Haishe still standing behind him. And when he saw it, Haishe was still silent with both eyes wide open with a look of astonishment and doubt written clearly there.
“Hei, Haishe. You okay?” ask Li Chen
“Huh?!”
The call from Li Chen suddenly made Haishe regain consciousness. He tried to return to being calm and dignified while asking Li Chen.
“What kind of a human being like you asks me how I am?!” grouse Haishe
“Gosh. What the hell are you? Worried instead annoyed, in silence even annoyed, in annoyed even upset” complained Li Chen
“You-!”
Haishe sighed as if trying to calm herself down. He opened both eyes and looked towards Li Chen.
“Forget all that. Now, what are you gonna do?” ask Haishe
“What does it mean?” li Chen's
“About, all of this”
Haishe turned her gaze around. And the same was true of Li Chen who followed him and saw the body of Ting Zhao and his subordinates sprawled after trying to kill him.
There is only one meaning to that question. And Li Chen knew the meaning of Haishe without talking at length to her.
“Ah, this is yes..of course I want to teach her a lesson. But, I think it would be more interesting if waiting for him to come to me directly” Li Chen said
“Why don't you instantly finish it by attacking it first?” ask Haishe
“Do you know? The higher a person's dream or expectations, the more sick they will be if they fail or fall” said Li Chen
Haishe fell silent and tried to listen to Li Chen's words.
“The concept is the same as that” Li Chen continued
“Concept?” sahut Haishe
“Because...”.
That unnerving sentence, followed by Li Chen's movements that looked back and gazed towards Haishe with eyes filled with gripping aura. Evil desires and intentions were felt directly only from Li Chen's gaze at that very instant.
“Destroying someone at their highest point, it's much more delicious!”
Haishe who saw this was stunned silently. Li Chen's intentions were much more than he expected. Assuming that Lian Haochun still wanted and intended to kill him, Li Chen was willing to respond repeatedly to destroy everything he had.
The cruelty he displayed was completely thorough and left Haishe alone feeling stunned.
“(I thought that he was a little different from other humans. But, this he.. turned out to be far more terrifying than I imagined)”.
