Ye Yang directly used the High-Speed Movement technique from the Navy Six Forms.
Before Lena could react,
he appeared at the entrance on the first floor of the shopping mall.
He blended into the crowd and walked out.
"This guy is so fast. It doesn't look like Micro-Wormhole Transport Technology. It should be low-level physical strength. Interesting."
"But I remember that among the Super Gene Carriers activated on Earth, there doesn't seem to be any record of someone like him. Could he have been overlooked?"
Lena became intensely interested in Ye Yang.
She had come to Earth this time
specifically to help the Earth Super Seminary resist the invasion of the Taotie Civilization.
That was why, back when she was on Lieyang Star,
she had used the power of the Sun of Light to activate a batch of Super Genes on Earth.
These Super Genes
had been spread many years ago
when Du Ka'ao brought the surviving legacy of the Denuo Civilization, along with part of the Super Seminary's inheritance, to Earth.
At that time, the Lieyang Civilization, which had been cut down to half its former strength by the Denuo Civilization, had also set its sights on Earth.
But Lieyang's domineering actions provoked Sun Wukong, who eventually drove them away.
The Denuo remnants, represented by Du Ka'ao, and the Super Seminary then took root on Earth and silently guided the world's development.
Thus, Lieyang and Denuo were both enemies
and cooperative allies.
They were all waiting for the day they could occupy Earth.
On the street.
Night fell.
Ye Yang headed for the nearest subway station to return to Huang Village.
Because the entire city was under lockdown,
the area around the subway station, which should have been bustling at this hour, was nearly deserted.
"Ye Yang, join the Super Seminary. I can make you stronger, and then we can resist the alien fleet that's about to invade Earth together. You wouldn't want to see this beautiful, fashionable world destroyed, would you?"
Lena appeared on the steps at the station entrance.
She still carried herself with arrogant pride.
Ye Yang stopped walking.
Looking at her, he said:
"I'm not interested in studying, and I'm even less interested in fighting aliens. Stop following me."
As soon as he finished speaking,
a street behind him
was crossed by a military Jeep.
The commander's radio crackled from inside the vehicle.
"Report. The Demon Queen Morgana, currently standing trial, caused a disturbance in court and suddenly disappeared. Tianhe City has entered first-level combat readiness."
The message clearly reached Ye Yang and Lena's ears.
"I heard you were the one who brought Morgana in obediently to face justice. Now that she's escaped, could she come after you next?" Lena asked.
"Aliens really are untrustworthy. But I already handed her over to the police, so what happens next has nothing to do with me."
After Ye Yang finished speaking,
he brushed past Lena
and took the escalator into the subway station.
"You're really impervious to reason. If the Goddess doesn't show you a couple of moves, you're not going to listen, are you?"
Lena, whose personality was bold and straightforward, turned around and reached for the back of Ye Yang's neck.
Her movement was incredibly fast.
Yet Ye Yang's body made a bizarre evasive movement.
His body drifted away like a sheet of paper.
"Did you grow eyes in the back of your head?"
Lena refused to believe it.
She thrust out both arms, gradually increasing the speed of her reaching attacks.
The two of them slowly descended with the escalator.
Yet Ye Yang kept his head lowered as he played on his phone, without even turning around.
His body, however, dodged with strange, ghostlike agility.
When Ye Yang stepped off the escalator
and walked through the subway corridor,
Lena stood where she was, furious.
She looked at her own arms and hands,
then stared at Ye Yang's retreating back in confusion.
She fell into deep self-doubt.
"What the hell? Pan Zhen trained my Taijutsu from childhood. There's no way I can't even touch a corner of this guy's clothes."
"He should only have awakened his Gene Ability recently, right?"
Ring ring ring~
Suddenly,
the phone in Lena's pocket rang.
Du Ka'ao: "Hello, Lena. This is Du Ka'ao. Morgana has disappeared. Have you made contact with Ye Yang?"
Di Lena: "Uh, yes, I have. But he's a little strange."
Du Ka'ao: "He is rather strange. To possess such formidable combat power right after awakening... Take him back to the Super Seminary as soon as possible and protect him. According to our intelligence, Morgana has also developed a very strong interest in him."
Di Lena: "I can't bring him back. This guy is strange, and he has no interest in joining the Super Seminary at all."
Du Ka'ao: "From the sound of that, did the two of you fight?"
Di Lena: "Not really. I couldn't get anywhere near him."
Du Ka'ao: "Then you'll have to provide him with close protection for the time being. A Jie and Qiangwei have already recruited some Super Warriors. The Xiong Bing Lian will soon be ready for you to train. I'm going to pick up Cheng Yaowen now. I'll hang up first."
Di Lena: "Cheng Yaowen? That prince? All right, I understand."
The call ended.
Lena followed Ye Yang onto the subway.
Inside the spacious, brightly lit subway car, the two sat facing each other.
Lena crossed her legs, exposing a large expanse of fair skin.
Ye Yang silently played on his phone.
"Can you tell me what technique you used just now? Why couldn't I touch you even though you weren't looking at me?" Lena asked.
Ye Yang remained silent.
He didn't want to pay the slightest attention to this socially fearless, chuunibyou Goddess.
Ignoring me again? Lena could barely stand it.
She swung both fists at him, putting all her strength into speeding up her attacks.
Yet Ye Yang merely sat in his seat with his head lowered, playing on his phone while his body continued to evade every one of Lena's attacks with graceful agility.
That night, inside the Demon One Royal Hall.
Morgana, dressed in leather, sat upright on the throne.
Below her, a line of fully equipped Demon warriors stood in formation, their bodies covered in dark-red technological armor.
At the head of the line stood Sword Demon Ato.
"Ato, this is your heart. Put it back."
Morgana flicked her finger, and a light-blue cube emerged from the void. Inside it, a large, beating blue heart was especially eye-catching.
An emotional expression appeared on Ato's face, which had remained unchanged for ten thousand years.
It was the heart that Earthling had taken from him!
When the heart floated toward his chest and slid perfectly into place,
a feeling of emptiness being filled surged through his entire body.
"Thank you for intervening, Queen! Please hand that Earthling's corpse over to me!"
Ato desperately wanted to whip Ye Yang's corpse.
In his eight-thousand-year career as a warrior, from Demon foot soldier to Demon military commander, he had never suffered such humiliation!
"I'm sorry, Ato. The Queen has taken a liking to Ye Yang. You are not allowed to attack him," Morgana said flatly.
Hearing this, Ato didn't dare show the slightest dissatisfaction.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, he dispelled his anger toward Ye Yang.
After all, Ato had always believed in one saying: What the Queen loves, I love.
"Nightmare, are you there?"
Morgana called out to the people below.
"This subordinate is here. What are your orders, Queen?"
From an inconspicuous corner of the formation below, an ugly old man in a black robe stepped out.
"Give Ye Yang and Du Qiangwei a good dream. Plant a little more of the Demon's beautiful ideals in them," Morgana said with a meaningful smile.
"Yes."
