The Eternal System
System 54: Fighting in Training
The four people who had appeared right out of the bushes immediately jumped up and lunged towards Li Chen with Ki energy preparing to be released.
However, Li Chen who had been riding was ready to clench his hands and placed next to his hips. The two eyes that were closed in were opened firmly right towards the four of them.
[ Skill : Bloodlust - Active > MP - 100 ]
[The target has been affected by the skill ]
[Reduction in status by - 50% ]
[Composure for one minute ]
In accordance with the system notification, the four people were exposed to the effect of skills without any resistance that could fight back. Those in the middle of jumping in the air were subject to paralysis and could not move their bodies.
“(Celaka! Our bodies...)”.
“(Can't be in motion!)”
Such a powerful killing Eve radiated through Li Chen's bloodlust skill. However, it is not separated from the skill. Li Chen grinned widely with his Ki aura that radiated to the surroundings when he saw all of them were frightened.
[ Skill: Sprint - Enabled ]
[Speed and agility status has been increased to +50 points ]
Li Chen moved as fast as lightning until the four people were unable to catch his movements. Even before they fell, Li Chen was already right on their back side.
Time seemed to slow down due to Li Chen's movement being too fast. However, the effect of the attack he gave off in the middle of his speed had only just appeared and left the four people struck late with an invisible blow to his eyes.
BUK BUCKET…!!!
“AAGGHHH!!” the four mysterious people
Bruk…!!
They fell on the ground like helpless people. His battered body and reduced status due to the bloodlust skill made them even more powerless. Li Chen's attack struck fatally to the point part of the body that relaxes the muscles as well as the nerves.
He turned around and looked at them so coldly like a merciless killer. The feeling of terror was immediately felt by the four of them. It started from having to ambush Li Chen, but it turned the four of them who were ambushed by him.
“(A-what the fuck?! In-he. he's not what he said. He's too fast!)”
Li Chen started to step up and approached them slowly. He who was standing right at one of the mysterious people instantly posed squatting and spoke four eyes.
“I don't think I'm lucky enough. The four of you come to me and instantly give me four pendants easily”
Li Chen raised one hand and revealed the four pendants he had taken while launching the lightning-fast attack earlier. The eyes of the four people instantly opened and were fixed wide towards the pendant they had taken.
“I-it...our pendant!”
“You-! Quickly return that locket!”
“Hey hey, you guys attacked me yourself. I only did things to survive in this test”
They were stunned silent and could only grit their teeth when they heard Li Chen say. While Li Chen himself did not want to waste his time anymore by lingering there. He suddenly stood up again and walked back to the previous direction leaving the four of them.
“Yeah, thanks for the free pendant yes. Next time, try to exercise again before choosing target”
“FUCKING SHIT!!!”
**
Without caring about them, Li Chen walked deeper into the Shenmi forest. With the five pendants he had taken, Li Chen could calm down a little if he did not need to look for an opponent just yet. And he can focus on finding mystical animals around there.
However, Li Chen had walked for more than 15 minutes and he had never seen anything. Be it the other participants or the mystical beasts, there was nothing at all that he saw.
“Hmm.. said this forest is a forest full of mystical animals. But, why didn't I find them at all?”
As he complained to himself, Li Chen walked without regard to the path he was walking and instead passed through a bushes that were so itchy and painful.
Srak..srak…!!
“Ackh, Aw!! Damn, I'm not focused on the direction so have to get through this”
When Li Chen started to be unable to bear it, he started scratching his itchy body. His footsteps leading him continued to walk forward, suddenly coming to a halt when he heard the noise of a sharp clashing of iron blades.
Trang...trang…!!!
Both of Li Chen's eyes were wide open and the sight of his eyes was instantly fixed to the front where the voice came from. He tried to see secretly first. And far ahead, Li Chen saw Gong Qiao fighting with three men who surrounded him.
“That's... Miss Gong Qiao?!”
Li Chen gritted his teeth in annoyance when he saw a girl in the braid fighting three men simultaneously. Although Li Chen did not yet know how strong Gong Qiao was, from the situation he saw it turned out that Gong Qiao did not look so good.
He had scratches on some parts of his body, and also his clothes had started to tear and were almost exposed.
Trang…!!
The thrust of the swordfight between Gong Qiao and one of the men looked quite a draw. However, the number of opponents he had to face was his biggest loss. Gong Qiao belatedly realized there was one other man trying to attack him from the side.
“Because of you!”
“(Celaka!)”
Trang…!!
Gong Qiao retracted his sword and held back his opponent's sword swing. However, the imperfect position of his horses made him lose his balance and fall backwards.
“Ahh!!”
Bruk... bruk…!!
Gong Qiao's body trembled full of the pain he received from the scratch wound. Moreover, his strength was drained away from having to face three people at once. He who tried to get up stood up repeatedly betrayed by his legs and hands until he fell back.
“(Ugh... I must. get up. If I lose here... how could I possibly... be by Mr Chen's side?!)”
The sring…!!
A sword so sharp was thrust by one of the men. The end is right at Gong Qiao's neck and is touched to his pendant which is covered in necklace.
“Nona Gong Qiao, please hand over your locket. We don't want to hurt you more than this” said the man asked nicely
“The three of you... attacked a girl... cornered me, and tried to beg to take my pendant? Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?” sahut Gong Qiao
Gong Qiao's words made them feel annoyed and provoked. The gritting of his teeth and the look on his face that shriveled strongly could explain everything.
“You...!”
“We've tried to ask him carefully. And if you still insist, then don't blame us!”
The man pulled his sword back up as if preparing to swing it towards Gong Qiao.
“They who are strong are the ones who will win! And miss Qiao, you're just great at hiding in your great surname!”
The words from the man made Gong Qiao's eyes widen as if shocked to hear them. Gong Qiao was indeed annoyed to hear it, but somehow his body did not dare to resist because it felt that it was slightly true.
He who did not seem to want to fight even made the man swing his sword without hesitation. And when they assumed that Gong Qiao was going to give up just like that, suddenly the swing of his sword came to a standstill like it was being forced.
The tech…!
“E-eh?!”
They opened their eyes wide, especially Gong Qiao himself who saw the figure of Li Chen coming and held the blade with one empty hand.
“Tu... Mr Chen?!”
Li Chen faced forward and only showed his back to Gong Qiao. While the three people who surrounded him, looked directly at the look on Li Chen's face that was so terrible. Their bodies froze and cold sweat flooded all over the face. Saliva swallowed because it was so afraid that it almost made them forget to breathe.
The eyes filled with murderous air as well as the frowning frown showed how upset he was to them.
“Your opponent is me!” threaten Li Chen
