Su Xiao Li's First Battle

Several days later, Si Yao arrived at Super Seminary again.

This time, however, he wasn't alone.

Su Xiao Li stood quietly beside him, having changed into a form-fitting training outfit suitable for movement. The fluffy white fox tail phantom behind her was no longer deliberately hidden, swaying gently and naturally, making her particularly eye-catching.

This "visit" was ostensibly an invitation from Lianfeng, but in reality, Si Yao had used [Kongshi Realm Divine Power] to subtly implant a thought suggestion in her, guiding her to send the invitation.

He needed to make contact with Super Seminary again, requiring a more "public" stage.

After several days of intensive training, with Si Yao's guidance, which was akin to "thought writing," the efficient environment of the [Mimic Training Space], and Si Yao's further expenditure of a large number of True Points to assist, Su Xiao Li had basically mastered her newly acquired powers.

As a Quasi Third Generation Super Soldier, she possessed mental charm, elemental control, considerable defense, and close-combat abilities. This was perfect for "showcasing" results, further solidifying his image as the unfathomable "Pangu Old God," and reaping more "cognition" for the manifestation of [Yuanshi Realm Divine Power].

The resources spent on Su Xiao Li would definitely be earned back by this girl.

As expected, the moment they appeared, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Lena was the first to approach, her gaze curiously appraising the faint white fox tail behind Su Xiao Li. "Yo, you're quite the player, huh? Fox Spirit?"

As the Captain of Xiong Bing Lian, Lena had some impression of Su Xiao Li, a former "reserve member."

She knew Su Xiao Li had been taken away by Si Yao, and Lianfeng had vaguely mentioned something about "incorporating" her. The Super Seminary side didn't dare to inquire further.

Seeing Su Xiao Li's obvious "non-human" transformation now, her curiosity instantly exploded.

Si Yao glanced at Lena and remained silent.

At this moment, Lianfeng, who was responsible for the reception, also walked over.

Before Lianfeng could utter any pleasantries, Lena's eyes darted around, a strange urge to compare and spectate rising in her mind. She cut in front of Lianfeng, smiling as she proposed, "Hey! Si Yao, why don't you let her spar with Xiong Bing Lian?"

Lianfeng was slightly taken aback. "Spar?"

"Yeah!" Lena was full of enthusiasm, hands on her hips. "Those guys have been training for so long, besides sparring amongst themselves with Turtle Style Fist, they haven't properly fought against super soldiers from other systems! This is a rare practical combat experience opportunity! It'll also let us see just how impressive Si Yao's work is!"

Si Yao ignored Lena's provocation and turned to Su Xiao Li. "You decide."

Su Xiao Li immediately straightened her back, her gaze firm as she looked at Si Yao. "Boss, I'm fine! I want to try!"

This was a rare opportunity to bring honor to Si Yao, how could she refuse?

Soon, at Lena's call, the members of Xiong Bing Lian quickly gathered at Training Ground No. 3.

Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, Zhao Xin, Qi Lin, Rui Mengmeng, and others looked at Su Xiao Li standing in the center of the field, especially the strange fox tail behind her, their faces filled with surprise and doubt.

"Good heavens," Zhao Xin clicked his tongue. "What's the situation with this guy... this gal? Cosplay with special effects?"

Liu Chuang squinted. "It feels... a bit intimidating."

"What's going on?" Qi Lin instinctively looked at Qiangwei beside her.

"New arrival?"

Qiangwei hesitated. "No."

Su Xiao Li, she had seen information about this girl not long ago. But looking at her now, she was probably already incorporated by Si Yao, and even upgraded.

Lena strode to the center of the field and clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention.

"Listen up!" she cleared her throat, her voice carrying a hint of indisputable authority. "We're having a spontaneous practical spar! A change of pace, so you don't spend all day fighting amongst yourselves with Turtle Style Fist!"

She pointed to Su Xiao Li in the field. "This is Su Xiao Li, a super soldier personally trained by Si Yao."

Then, she pointed her thumb at herself, her tone carrying obvious pride and a hint of provocation. "And you, are the ones I, Lena, have trained!"

Her gaze swept over Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and the others, her voice rising slightly. "All of you, get your act together! Perform well! Don't embarrass me! Do you hear me?!"

The implication was obvious: this spar concerned the reputation of the Lieyang Main God and the Captain of Xiong Bing Lian! If they lost, or performed poorly, they would face the consequences!

Provoked by Lena, Ge Xiaolun and the others immediately tensed up, straightening their backs.

"First match!" Lena's gaze shifted, directly calling out. "Ge Xiaolun! You're up!"

Lena had considered her choice of Ge Xiaolun. Although this guy was cowardly, he was thick-skinned and tough, possessing the Undefeated Body. His ability to withstand damage was top-notch, making him suitable for testing Su Xiao Li's depth and understanding her attack methods and strength. Even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't be instantly killed, allowing for more information to be gathered.

Ge Xiaolun let out a "Huh?" and walked out with a bitter expression. "Sister Na, me again?"

"Stop the nonsense! Hurry up!" Lena glared.

Ge Xiaolun had no choice but to brace himself and walk into the field, giving Su Xiao Li an embarrassed smile. "Then... Classmate Xiao Li, please guide me."

Su Xiao Li took a deep breath, her eyes instantly becoming focused. Without any hesitation, she didn't even give Ge Xiaolun time to prepare, launching a mental charm developed based on [Kongshi Realm Divine Power]!

An invisible mental wave, carrying seduction and daze, instantly enveloped Ge Xiaolun!

Ge Xiaolun felt his head buzz. The scene before him distorted slightly, and Su Xiao Li's figure seemed to be covered in a dreamlike halo, causing his heart to race. His thoughts experienced a brief pause and blankness, and he froze in place.

During this lightning-fast moment of stiffness, Su Xiao Li moved!

The basic reinforcement from [Jingang Realm Divine Power] granted her speed and strength far beyond what she had before! She exerted force with her feet, her figure charging forward like an arrow leaving the bow!

Before Ge Xiaolun could fully recover from the mental impact, Su Xiao Li had already closed in. With a clean and sharp uppercut, she landed a solid blow on his chin!

Bang!

A muffled thud!

Ge Xiaolun felt a huge force coming from his chin, and his entire body was lifted off the ground uncontrollably, thrown upwards!

"Waaah--!" he cried out in panic in mid-air.

However, this was not over yet!

Su Xiao Li didn't give Ge Xiaolun any chance to adjust his landing! She quickly raised her hands, and the basic Elemental Manipulation of the Yongzhen Realm Divine Power was instantly activated!

Energy bullets with various attributes and different effects quickly condensed in her palm, bombarding Ge Xiaolun, who had no leverage in the air, like a barrage of firecrackers!

Boom boom boom boom--!!!

For a time, explosions echoed continuously in the training ground, and colorful energy lights flickered, completely engulfing Ge Xiaolun's figure.

Ge Xiaolun was like a human sandbag, battered and thrown about in the air by the dense energy attacks, unable to land. He could only rely on his Undefeated Body to endure, letting out pained cries of "Ouch, ouch!" from his mouth.

The sidelines fell into silence.

The Xiong Bing Lian Members were all stunned.

Zhao Xin's mouth hung open: "Holy crap... what... what's going on? Lun'er is being dominated by a girl?"

Liu Chuang rubbed his eyes: "Is Xiao Lun'er... dancing in the sky?"

Qi Lin gripped her sniper rifle, her brow furrowed. Su Xiao Li's rapid and fluid attack style was completely beyond her expectations.

Rui Mengmeng subconsciously flinched.

Even Lena's smile froze on her face.

She knew Su Xiao Li had become stronger after being upgraded by Si Yao, but she didn't expect this kind of approach!

Starting with control, followed by a rush to knock him away, and then infinite aerial combos... This fighting style was too skilled, too bullying?!

Ge Xiaolun had all the strength and defense in the world, but he didn't even get a chance to use it!

Lianfeng's brow furrowed: "Mental Interference to start, close-combat rush to break the rhythm, then sustained suppression with long-range firepower... The tactical execution is perfect."

What was most shocking was that Su Xiao Li's Energy Manipulation precision and power had completely surpassed their understanding of a "newcomer."

They would believe her if she said she was a Battle-Hardened old soldier!

But Su Xiao Li had only been with Si Yao for a few days?

And she became like this?

Dukao watched this scene in the Monitoring Room, his expression also becoming solemn.

The combat awareness and Energy Manipulation ability displayed by Su Xiao Li were completely different from the streamer girl recorded in their files!

Si Yao's "modification" effect far exceeded their imagination.

The scene became extremely awkward.

One of Xiong Bing Lian's trump cards, the Galaxy Power, known for its Undefeated Body, couldn't even last one round against a "newcomer." It was beaten into a state where it couldn't fight back, becoming fireworks in the sky...

"Enough," Si Yao said calmly.

Su Xiao Li immediately stopped, obediently taking a step back.

The Aerial Energy Explosion Aftermath gradually dissipated, revealing Ge Xiaolun's Miserable Figure. He fell from the air like a tattered rag, hitting the ground with a "bang." Although he possessed the powerful Third Generation God Body and was protected by the Dark Alloy Armor, he wasn't truly injured. However, he was so dizzy and disoriented from the explosions that he lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

The training ground fell into complete silence.

Everyone was shocked by this clean and decisive, almost crushing combat style.

A girl who was just an ordinary Super Gene carrier not long ago now possessed such terrifying combat power under Si Yao in just a few days?

Lianfeng quickly recorded data from a distance, her brow furrowed: "Mental Interference, Elemental Manipulation, comprehensive improvement in Physical Quality..."

Although the special Super Gene possessed by Su Xiao Li did not belong to the orthodox Shenhe Super Gene, its strength was between the First Generation and Second Generation.

But the performance she just displayed had already exceeded the limit of a Second Generation Super Soldier...

Third Generation? Or Quasi-Third Generation?

In the Monitoring Room, Dukao looked at Su Xiao Li's performance on the screen, his brow furrowed. He issued a command to Lena through the communicator: "Lena, continue the test. Organize other team members for combat. We need more comprehensive data to evaluate her Physical Quality and Ability Limit."

Lena received the command, took a deep breath, and suppressed her surprise. Just as she was about to name Zhao Xin, the fastest runner, to try.

"No need for so much trouble," Si Yao's calm voice rang out, interrupting Lena.

His gaze swept over the Xiong Bing Lian members who were standing ready on the sidelines, his tone calm and unwavering: "Come on together, to save time."

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the training ground instantly solidified!

Come on together?!

The expressions of all the Xiong Bing Lian members, including Lena, changed.

What did he mean? Did he look down on them so much? To let a group of them gang up on a young girl like Su Xiao Li?!

"Hey! I say, buddy!" Liu Chuang was the first to lose his temper, raising his fist as if to step forward and argue, "You're too..."

Before he could finish speaking, Si Yao's gaze casually swept over him.

There was no killing intent, no anger, not even any emotional fluctuation.

But the moment those Ice Blue Eyes made contact with Liu Chuang's gaze, Liu Chuang felt an indescribable coldness and deathly stillness, as if from the depths of the Endless Void, instantly engulf him!

It was a tremor from his soul depth, as if he had been indifferently glanced at by some incomprehensible, unresisted colossus!

Liu Chuang's voice abruptly stopped, the rest of his words stuck in his throat. His face instantly became somewhat pale, and he subconsciously took half a step back, fine cold sweat even seeping from his temples.

Liu Chuang instantly recalled the sense of oppression he felt when fighting Ge Xiaolun in the Dark Plane. But this time, the feeling was even more terrifying. It was a coldness and void that seemed to freeze his very soul.
