She's a little fox, what are you?

"Ge Xiaolun!"

Before the others' cries of alarm could fade, Sun Wukong moved again, swift as lightning. His Golden Cudgel drew an afterimage as it precisely struck Liu Chuang's waist just as he raised the God Slaying Axe!

"Ugh!" Liu Chuang felt an irresistible immense strength surge through him. His internal organs felt like they had shifted. With a muffled groan, he was smashed to the ground, the God Slaying Axe nearly flying from his grasp.

"Retreat! Fall back! Maintain distance! Don't attack rashly!" Qiangwei suppressed the shock in her heart, commanding her teammates to withdraw while trying to communicate with Sun Wukong. "Sun Wukong! We are from Super Seminary's Xiong Bing Lian! We mean no harm! Please stop! We can talk!"

However, Sun Wukong's mission tonight was precisely to "teach these rookies a lesson." Why would he stop just because they retreated?

He completely ignored Qiangwei's shouts. Moving like the wind, amidst the whistling of his Golden Cudgel, he launched swift attacks at the scattered Xiong Bing Lian members.

Zhao Xin tried to use his speed to maneuver but was swept away by a single blow.

Cheng Yaowen raised a stone wall to block, but the wall shattered like paper.

Rui Mengmeng couldn't even last one exchange before being knocked down.

Disagreement immediately arose within Xiong Bing Lian.

Qi Lin watched her teammates fall one by one, anxious and furious. She yelled into the dark communication to Qiangwei, "Qiangwei! What's there to talk about! He's not listening at all! Are we just going to stand here and take a beating?"

Although the others were also angered and uncomprehending of Sun Wukong's power, their long training had accustomed them to obeying Qiangwei, their tactical core. Coupled with the shock of Sun Wukong's sudden assault, they were momentarily at a loss.

Su Xiao Li, who had been hiding in the rear, watched this one-sided "beating" with wide eyes, muttering to herself that this monkey was indeed as violent as the legends said. She remembered Si Yao's instructions to mainly observe and had no intention of interfering easily.

But Sun Wukong seemed to give her special "attention."

After casually swatting away Zhao Xin, who tried to get close, Sun Wukong's gaze locked onto Su Xiao Li again. He grinned, "Little fox, try taking a blow from Old Sun!"

Before his voice even fell, the Golden Cudgel, whistling as it tore through the air, smashed down upon her!

Su Xiao Li's face turned ashen with fright. She instinctively let out a scream, and the phantom images of her Nine Giant White Fox Tails behind her instantly surged, crossing to protect her!

The surface of the fox tails glowed with a faint golden light bestowed by the Jingang Realm Divine Power, forcefully blocking this blow that could split mountains and crack stones!

"Clang--!"

A loud noise like metal clashing erupted, and a blast wave spread outwards from the point of impact, flattening the surrounding vegetation!

Su Xiao Li grunted. The ground beneath her feet cracked inch by inch. The immense strength made her blood surge, but she ultimately withstood the blow steadily! An attack that even Ge Xiaolun couldn't withstand head-on was blocked by her!

"Oh?" A flicker of surprise and even greater interest flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes. "Interesting! Again!"

He flicked his wrist, and the Golden Cudgel transformed into a sky full of stick shadows, engulfing Su Xiao Li like a storm!

Su Xiao Li dared not meet the attack head-on. She fully activated the power within her body, her movements becoming exceptionally agile. Like a forest phantom, she rapidly dodged and weaved through the dense stick shadows. Her speed was so fast that it was subtly not inferior to Zhao Xin, who was known for his speed!

The members of Xiong Bing Lian were stunned.

This Su Xiao Li... not only could she withstand Sun Wukong's attack, but her speed was also this fast?! Had she been holding back when she fought them earlier today?!

However, Su Xiao Li was, after all, a "rapidly cultivated" warrior with almost zero combat experience.

The combat skills and instincts "implanted" in her mind appeared incredibly stiff and rigid before a God of War like Sun Wukong, who was battle-hardened.

After a few exchanges, her dodging rhythm was completely seen through by Sun Wukong!

"Got you!" Sun Wukong chuckled lightly. The Golden Cudgel pointed out at an unbelievable angle, precisely piercing a gap in Su Xiao Li's defense and thrusting straight towards her chest!

Su Xiao Li's pupils contracted. It was already too late to dodge!

Seeing Su Xiao Li in danger, Qi Lin, who had been tense the whole time with her gun aimed at Sun Wukong, couldn't hold back any longer!

"Bang!"

The God Slayer One armor-piercing bullet launched, whistling sharply as it shot directly towards the back of Sun Wukong's head!

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Sun Wukong didn't even turn around. He flicked his Golden Cudgel with his backhand!

"Ding!" With a crisp sound, the armor-piercing bullet, capable of posing a fatal threat to a Second Generation Super Soldier, was precisely knocked away by the Golden Cudgel!

"Qi Lin! Don't enrage him!" Qiangwei quickly shouted upon seeing this.

"Enrage?! We're all about to be beaten to death! Who cares about enraging him?!" Qi Lin completely broke down and roared into the communicator, "Does he show any intention of communicating?! If we don't fight back, are we supposed to wait for death?!"

"What kind of captain are you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and the Golden Cudgel in his hand suddenly elongated!

"Bang!"

Like being struck by a giant pestle, Qi Lin didn't even see where the attack came from. A severe pain shot through her chest, her vision went black, and she lost consciousness, collapsing softly.

"Qi Lin!!"

Immediately after, the Golden Cudgel swept horizontally, carrying invincible power, and sent Qiangwei, who was about to say something, flying over a hundred meters away. She crashed into a mountain wall, sending rubble flying!

"Qiangwei! Qiangwei, are you okay!"

Ge Xiaolun, who had just climbed out of a pit, shouted anxiously.

"You f***ing... are you crazy..."

Qiangwei struggled to stand up from the pile of rubble, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. Her gaze was ice cold, without the slightest hesitation. She quickly analyzed the battlefield and commanded sternly through the dark communication:

"Ge Xiaolun, frontal distraction! Liu Chuang, find an opportunity to break his defense! Zhao Xin, disrupt his vision! Cheng Yaowen, restrict his movement! Rui Mengmeng, protect Qi Lin and retreat! Execute the order!"

Her command this time was clear and decisive, filled with resolute battle intent.

The remaining members of the Xiong Bing Lian, like tightly wound springs, began an organized counterattack against Sun Wukong under Qiangwei's command.

Although their attacks still seemed childish to Sun Wukong, they at least had some structure compared to being beaten one-sidedly just moments ago.

Ge Xiaolun endured the blows of the Golden Cudgel, charging forward again and again. Liu Chuang's God Slaying Axe whistled through the air, each chop forcing Sun Wukong to block with a bit more seriousness. Zhao Xin's speed and Cheng Yaowen's terrain control also presented some trouble.

Facing this sudden coordinated counterattack, Sun Wukong, though still at ease, had a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes. This was exactly what he wanted: to force out the bloodthirst and cooperation of these rookies.

The Golden Cudgel danced like a dragon in his hands, poking, sweeping, and smashing, neutralizing the Xiong Bing Lian's attacks one by one. When he counterattacked, he controlled it to merely push them back or inflict minor injuries, clearly not intending to kill.

The battle entered a stalemate for a time.

Super Seminary, top-floor meeting room.

In stark contrast to the fierce battle at Liangshan, the atmosphere in the meeting room was relatively calm, even tinged with a subtle awkwardness.

Angel Yan sat on one side of the conference table, with Angel Chase and Angel Mo Yi standing on either side of her.

Lena, as the representative of Earth Super Seminary, occupied the main seat, trying her best to maintain a serious and earnest expression as she engaged in preliminary discussions with Angel Yan about the "Justice Order" and the "Earth Future."

However, the conversation was not going smoothly. There were clear divergences between the two sides regarding the dominance of Earth's future, the threat of demons, and potential methods of cooperation.

In the corner by the window of the meeting room, Si Yao sat quietly like a transparent shadow, a cup of clear tea before him, its steam rising slowly.

In his mind, he was "watching" the fierce battle at Liangshan in real-time through the connection with Su Xiao Li via the [Seed of Delusion].

He saw how easily Sun Wukong dismantled the Xiong Bing Lian's resistance, how Su Xiao Li dodged in a sorry state and attempted to counterattack, how Qiangwei's indecisive command ultimately led to a complete collapse, and the entire process of the Xiong Bing Lian's transition from chaos to organized counterattack.

Qiangwei's personality flaws were exposed without reservation at this moment. She instinctively pursued the optimal solution and desired a peaceful resolution, leading to indecisiveness when faced with choices that required firmness. It was only when reality cornered her and her comrades were injured that she finally made up her mind.

Such a personality could easily lead to missed opportunities in a cruel war.

At some point, Angel Yan also diverted some of her attention. Through the surveillance system that had infiltrated Super Seminary, she saw the scene at Liangshan. She crossed her legs, her gaze turning towards Si Yao in the corner, the corner of her lips curling slightly:

"Yo, your cute little fox seems to be getting beaten pretty badly by the monkey? Doesn't that hurt your heart?"

Si Yao didn't even lift his eyelids, continuing to drink his tea slowly, as if he hadn't heard.

Of course, he didn't feel heartache.

Su Xiao Li needed real combat, the tempering of true life and death.

The combat instincts and experience he had forcefully "bestowed" upon her with his resources were ultimately rigid and data-based.

They were fine against rookies like the Xiong Bing Lian, but against a God of War born for battle like Sun Wukong, her meager skills were insufficient, riddled with flaws.

He had invested a massive amount of resources and true points into Su Xiao Li, not to cultivate a mere vase who could only look but not fight.

Pain and setbacks were catalysts for growth.

Seeing that Si Yao was ignoring her, Angel Yan didn't mind. Her discussion with Lena about whether angels should be stationed on Earth had also temporarily reached a stalemate. Her eyes flickered, and she suddenly became more curious about Si Yao.

Based on the information observed earlier, Su Xiao Li possessed a fox tail form, which was clearly a manifestation of some kind of beast gene.

She leaned forward slightly, looking at Si Yao with great interest, her voice carrying a hint of seduction and inquiry:

"By the way, Si Yao... your little fox is a beautiful little fox. What about you? Your Pangu Civilization's Divine Power Encoding is so miraculous, capable of granting warriors beast forms... Do you yourself have any special... beast forms?"

She paused, imagining, and then speculated with a hint of teasing:

"Let me guess... is it a majestic tiger? Or... something more special?"
