So When Do You Plan to Spank the Duck's Drum

I can't afford to collapse again this time. If I do, even if I keep pushing myself, Major Himeko won't let me continue to the front lines.

In the past, Fu Hua would have worried about not being able to complete the mission because of her promise to Otto.

But now, looking at the boy in front of her who had almost Entering Demonic State because of her, Fu Hua felt that she had to take responsibility for him.

The Tai Xu Sword Qi is undoubtedly a powerful 'martial art', but great power inevitably comes with danger.

Lin Yu's martial arts talent is frighteningly high.

However, precisely because of this, in Fu Hua's eyes, if Lin Yu, whose foundation was not solid, continued to act recklessly, the possibility of Entering Demonic State in the future would only increase.

At that time, the young heroes who tried to fight against the Honkai will fall and become demons on the Honkai side because of her...

After contemplating certain terrifying scenarios, Fu Hua shook her head, banishing these unwanted futures from her mind.

Now, not only can she not leave the front line, but she also has to stay by Lin Yu's side at all times.

Otherwise, if Lin Yu continues to act recklessly next time, she might not have enough time to help Lin Yu recover his energy, thus putting Lin Yu in danger.

"Lin Yu, classmate."

Looking at Lin Yu, whose eyes were still blank, Fu Hua hesitated whether to continue teaching Lin Yu the subsequent knowledge of the Tai Xu Sword Qi.

However, upon seeing the boy before her who trusted her but whose heart had been manipulated by her, Fu Hua still couldn't stop herself from taking action.

That's enough, it's too late to brake now.

I was able to bring him back from the wrong path before my body developed serious problems.

"Your progress in learning the Tai Xu Sword Qi can be described as very rapid, but I still hope that you can stabilize your foundation before you start cultivating the most difficult Divine Essence."

"We must never do dangerous things like absorbing the power of Herrscher and using simulated Divine Essence to carry out an attack again."

"I see."

Even though the other party was clearly under Feathered Dust's control, Fu Hua still felt that the tone was just not right when she heard those words.

After hearing this, she felt that Lin Yu, just like before, had humbly accepted the advice but had no intention of changing his behavior.

Lin Yu, could it really be...?

After pressing her face close to Lin Yu's handsome face, Fu Hua began to carefully examine the young man in front of her.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu, who was known as Cold-Faced Hunk, did not show any signs of panic when Fu Hua got close to him, no matter how flustered he was inside.

"Yeah, I guess I was overthinking it."

"In short, today you need to finish learning the two sword forms, Transformation and Defense, which you haven't learned before."

"Yes."

In the following half hour, Fu Hua spent about half an hour teaching Lin Yu the remaining two sword forms.

After watching Lin Yu easily learn the basic forms of these swords, Fu Hua could only sigh that this person was a natural genius in martial arts.

In fact, if Lin Yu hadn't noticed Fu Hua's disordered true qi, given that Lin Yu could hone Mind Essence sword qi to the second level in about ten days, it would have been only a matter of time before he surpassed Fu Hua Lin Yu sword qi cultivation.

However, in Fu Hua's remaining memories, Mind Essence's predecessor, Divine Sound, had caused a tragedy because of the actions of one of her friends.

Lin Yu's current state is almost like that of Fu Hua in the past and the perpetrators in those tragedies; he has gradually begun to be controlled by his obsession.

That's why Fu Hua felt guilty after imparting her power to Lin Yu.

With a feeling of helplessness and guilt, Fu Hua dragged her feet and left the hotel with Lin Yu.

She tried to control her body and continue forward, but after leaving the hotel, on a deserted street, Fu Hua finally lost her balance, slid down the wall, and collapsed to the ground, spitting blood and losing consciousness.

After Fu Hua coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, Fu Hua Lin Yu immediately rushed to her side and looked at the pale-faced woman.

After a moment's hesitation, he then unleashed Powerful Healing Technique on Fu Hua's body with all his might.

[As the holy light descends, you can feel your magic power draining away. If this continues, even if you were drained dry, you still wouldn't be able to heal her wounds.]

It's alright, I still have this.

Lin Yu, having taken out the Ancient Dragon Water, poured it directly into his stomach after his magic power was about to run out.

Even after his magic was fully replenished, he still felt that his magic was rapidly dissipating.

That's true. Even a 'Fusion Warrior' like Siegfried, whose bloodline is so diluted that it's unknown how many percent, requires me to expend a lot of magic power to heal him.

Fu Hua, a 'first-generation Fusion Warrior's from 50,000 years ago, would certainly need more magic power than I imagined.

At this moment, you can't help but feel a deep sense of regret.

This was clearly an opportunity to build rapport, but the other person has no idea what price you paid for it.

What a pity!

I didn't use this trick on her for this reason.

"Oh? What's the reason then? Why risk exposing your cheat abilities just to boost your favorability, gambling that Fu Hua won't tip off Otto?"

Even if this system didn't warn you, you should know that this increases your survival risk.

She was desperately trying to help me because of the misunderstanding I caused, and I'm still holding grudges about these things at this point—am I even human?

Just because I'm a liar doesn't mean I'll abandon my humanity in order to deceive others.

They were good to me, and I had the ability to heal them, but because of this, I didn't...

I don't want to do something so ungrateful.

Besides, if she really has doubts after she wakes up, we can just use Ji Lin's Stigmata to fool her.

Anyway, nobody knows what ability Ji Lin's Stigmata actually possesses, so they can just make up an ability out of thin air.

After all, the amount of power I unleashed was already somewhat contrary to Otto's common sense.

Would he really start to doubt Feathered Dust, whom he trusts so much, just because I have gained a healing spell?

That's true.

And—the fact that you didn't remind me is the most reassuring proof of that.

[Hey! Are you mistaking this system for a radar?!]

After seeing Lin Yu subdue Fu Hua, the system said in an annoyed tone.

[This system is angry! It's really getting angry!]

So?

[Just kidding, there are plenty of people who are much worse than you. This kind of tactic doesn't even qualify as exploiting a loophole.]

[In the past, some people thought they could exploit loopholes in this system's reward mechanism by using specific methods to farm rewards, but they ended up dying on the way after their reckless actions... Ha, compared to those who repeatedly blatantly violate the system's bottom line, you, who unexpectedly have a bottom line, are indeed quite rare.]

Thank you for the compliment.

Actually, I'm really afraid of dying, and you should know that better than anyone else.

Now that some things are no longer so important, I feel I can relax a little.

In a sense, I have become part of Otto's plan.

Ah, perhaps that man genuinely doesn't want me to die out there.

After completing the healing spell, Lin Yu looked at Fu Hua in his arms and sighed helplessly.

Looking at that tired face, Lin Yu really couldn't connect this 'girl' with the invincible immortal who Shenzhou for countless years.

Ultimately, before becoming a warrior, Fu Hua was just a human being.

Even though she incorporated the genes of Honkai Beast.

Even though she spanned two eras, she was still the same person she was back then.

He possessed a heart of justice, yet was forced to step onto a battlefield he should never have.

For the sake of her dear friends, she always forced herself to do her best within her capabilities.

Perhaps only now, when she is unconscious due to severe injuries, can she completely let down her guard and relax.

Honkai...

Looking at the powerless yet peaceful Fu Hua before him, Lin Yu realized that he had never hated the Honkai as much as he did at this moment.

If the Honkai phenomenon did not exist, although natural disasters and man-made calamities would still occur in this world, a world without the Honkai would certainly have far fewer tragedies.

Fu Hua's tragedy is just a microcosm.

In these countless cycles, people's homes were destroyed and their lives were taken away because of the Honkai.

In the end, humanity was forced to reluctantly coexist with this enormous piece of trash that had slaughtered countless innocent people...

—What the hell are you talking about?

As Fu Hua slowly awoke under the healing spell, she opened her eyes to see a pair of eyes filled with anger and hatred.

"Lin Yu, classmate..."

"Feel sorry."

After gently releasing Fu Hua, Lin Yu looked at her evasively and said Fu Hua...

"Seeing that you had just fallen to the ground, I had no choice but to help you up."

No, that's not what I meant.

Looking at Lin Yu, whose eyes were darting around and who seemed preoccupied, Fu Hua suddenly realized that Lin Yu might have actually developed a little resistance to Feathered Dust.

Even though Fu Hua felt lighter than ever before, she still felt...

Oh no, my head hurts so much.

Even after I tried to persuade Lin Yu, those terrible emotions still surfaced in his eyes.

This obsession with hatred and anger is not directed at me.

So, his obsession has indeed been strengthened by the Divine Sound?

At that moment, Bronya, who hadn't left the room yet, happened to see Lin Yu embracing Fu Hua through the monitoring system.

The Class President and Brother Lin Yu... they really meant it.

This is something that absolutely must not be known to anyone!

Otherwise, something terrible will definitely happen!

Written request for leave

As I mentioned yesterday, if I didn't update after 10 PM, it meant I was taking a day off. I've been thinking about it for so long and I'm really too tired, so I'm just going to stop for good today.

Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words. Tomorrow eight thousand words. Tomorrow will be eight thousand words.

Chapter 137. So when do you plan to pat the duck skin drum?

To be honest, Bronya, who is currently in the dormitory, is sometimes a little confused.

Under the training of the Lucia military, she never considered her own future.

Years ago, Cocolia could have killed her, did not take her life but instead gave her a warmth she had never received before.

For the original Bronya, her adoptive mother's orders were something she had to obey.

But now, after heeding Lin Yu's advice, she left Anti-Entropy and joined Schicksal.

Bronya, who chose to betray her adoptive mother in order to save her, is sometimes really intriguing...

—What does it have to do with 'saving Cocolia's if someone hides in their dorm room, preparing to cover up any potential flaws Lin Yu might reveal in the future, in preparation for the chaotic situation Lin Yu might cause?

She came to compete for military merit, but now the team's ability to consistently earn credit is basically all thanks to Lin Yu.

Although Lin Yu himself did not have that kind of thought, in a sense, the team's superiors, everyone's boss, seniors, peers, and juniors were all connected by Lin Yu alone.

Kiana and Mei joined Schicksal because of Lin Yu.
