A Small Test of His Skills

Bankai and all that, of course, are just for fun.

But Lu Bai wasn't idle; he secretly launched [Ink Dye].

Before he could finish speaking, the two combatants were swallowed by darkness almost simultaneously.

Because of [Flash Time], when facing one or two deathmatchers, Lu Bai had neither the opportunity nor the need to use [Ink Dye].

But this doesn't mean he forgot he possessed this ability.

Strictly speaking, ever since he acquired the [Ink Dye] ability, he has been practicing various ways of using it whenever he has a spare moment.

Leaving aside those extreme uses that are widespread enough to have a significant impact on the ecosystem.

With careful and proper use, it can achieve equally outstanding results.

For example, turning the air around these two fighters pitch black would have the same effect as depriving them of their sight.

There are many other detailed uses like this, which will not be elaborated on here.

"What?!" the high school student with the buzz cut exclaimed in surprise.

Suddenly faced with darkness, he lost his sense of direction and collapsed headfirst onto the floor of the convenience store.

The repairman, facing the darkness, refrained from screaming.

But since he couldn't see him, he couldn't pinpoint Lu Bai's location.

Controlling the bone-bladed spear, it felt awkward—whether to throw it or not to throw it was also problematic.

Fortunately, this dilemma didn't last long.

Lu Bai delivered two more blows, sending the two men on their way with amusement.

[Bite!]

[Points +4, Current Points: 78, Current Rank: 1/95]

He retracted his Long Fang and stroked his chin. "Looks like quite a few deathmatch partners have broken up."

The ranking data provided by the system shows that the intensity of the battles between the fighters has not decreased at all during this period.

Not far from the convenience store, behind the left side of a car, two middle school students stared in disbelief at everything that was happening inside.

"Chicken... Chicken Neck, you saw it just now, right?"

When my friend called me by a nickname from a middle school student, his voice trembled slightly.

Pulling out an exaggeratedly long Nodachi —perhaps one could find some reason to forcefully explain it.

But the bone-bladed gun floating in the air, the short-haired older brother with amazing jumping ability, and the pure supernatural power that shrouds you in darkness...

These images were truly astonishing to two junior high school students who had grown up with a materialistic worldview.

"These... these are those Parasitic Organism?" The middle school student nicknamed Chicken Neck shrank his neck, wanting to hide, but couldn't help wanting to take a few more glances.

My friend whispered, "You've seen those pictures of Parasitic Organism online, they're all bloody monsters."

They should be called super-powered knights, right? I knew there were people with special abilities in our world, and these super-powered knights would only secretly intervene when human safety was threatened."

This kind of Chicken Neck premise almost made me want to complain.

He was silent for a moment, then said softly, "... Never mind what they're called, I just want to know how many people possess this kind of power."

"I want to ask Brother Lu Bai; maybe he'd be willing to teach me," the friend said, his eyes shining brighter as he spoke.

"Call him Brother Lu Bai now. I don't even want to think about what you'll shout when you actually face him."

Chicken Neck sighed helplessly and continued, "Damn it! Can't you wake up? Didn't you see how easy it was for him to kill people? It's like eating and drinking water for him. If you really run over there, I'm afraid he'll just chop your dog's head off with one stroke."

"He let us go once before, which proves he won't kill innocent people indiscriminately. I think he must be a good person."

"Are you crazy? You haven't read any of the news online?"

As Chicken Neck spoke, she secretly grabbed her friend's arm, afraid that he would rush over at any moment.

My friend immediately retorted, "Does an official statement necessarily mean it's true? I need to consider whether this is the only chance I'll ever have."

He took a deep breath and then exhaled.

After repeating this several times to muster his courage, he strode towards the convenience store.

Chicken Neck never expected his mischievous friend to be so resolute; he couldn't hold him back at all, and ended up being dragged out of the car's cover as well.

Ton ton ton~

Lu Bai finished drinking a bottle of mineral water and placed the empty bottle on the cashier's counter.

He casually picked up a pair of sunglasses from beside the cashier, put them on, and turned to leave the convenience store to continue his stroll.

At the store entrance, two junior high school students were pulling at each other.

"Uh..." One of the junior high school students noticed Lu Bai coming out and immediately deflated, his nervous eyes also carrying a hint of hope.

"Hello, Brother Lu Bai. Please teach me—no, I want to become your apprentice. I know I'm a good person. My name is..."

My friend got so excited that he started rambling incoherently.

Didn't I tell you to go home right away?

Lu Bai spoke up at the right moment, interrupting the middle school student who was acting crazy.

He had always known that the two junior high school students were following him.

However, he wasn't the Great Western King, so naturally he wouldn't go to such extremes as to call for the killing of two junior high school students.

Anyway, he had already advised them that if those two kids were unlucky enough to encounter a deathmatcher or Parasitic Organism, then he couldn't be blamed.

But he really didn't expect these two junior high school students to be so bold. They had witnessed him committing murder, yet they still dared to show their faces and come looking for him.

"Please, Brother Lu Bai, my childhood dream has been to become a super-powered knight who upholds justice. I want to have your kind of power too."

My friend clasped his hands together, his attitude unusually sincere, showing no sign of joking.

Hearing this, Lu Bai pondered for two seconds and said, "Let me tell you a little-known fact: if you laid out all your intestines and then spread them out on a playground..."

"It can cover the entire playground, right? I'm not just someone who only knows how to play; I have a strong learning ability."

Lu Bai calmly added, "... Then you will die."

The friend's excited expression froze instantly, and he didn't know how to react for a moment.

It felt like those words were implying that if they didn't go, their intestines would be laid out on the playground.

The silence was broken shortly afterward.

A series of rapid footsteps came from behind the convenience store, sounding to be less than ten meters away from Lu Bai's location, at most separated by a row of houses.

"You guys go this way, you guys go that way, the rest of you follow me."

Lu Bai vaguely felt that the voice calling out sounded like that of the old detective Pu Guangrong, but since he hadn't seen the person, he couldn't be sure.

During this time, the two junior high school students did not shout or make a fuss; they both remained quiet.

Noticing this, Lu Bai smiled helplessly and raised his voice.

"You two kids, what are you doing wandering around outside so late? What are your parents' names? I'm calling them right now!"

After saying that, Lu Bai didn't wait for their reaction and immediately used [Flash Time] to run away.
