The massive, rectangular black spaceship slowly hovered above a frozen lake, opening its ejection bay at the bottom.
Ding Yiran flapped her wings and easily shot out, hovering in the swirling snow, turning back to look at Ding Luo and Lin Hui.
"Young man, it's not too late to apologize now and regret it."
Ding Luo also floated up gently and flew out of the bottom ejection compartment.
Standing in the cold, snowy wind, she turned back to look at her younger brother, hoping he would apologize promptly and not be foolish enough to stubbornly endure it.
By this time, she realized that Ding Yiran really intended to give Lin Hui a good beating.
After all, Lin Hui's words when he saved her last time really hurt him.
Ding Yiran brought this up with her no less than five times, and she still held a grudge.
"It's alright. You don't believe me simply because you've never encountered a situation like this before. There's always a first time for everything," Lin Hui said casually.
Standing on the flat surface inside the spaceship, he took a step forward and lost his footing.
Before Ding Luo and Ding Yiran's eyes widened in shock, he collapsed headfirst.
A thousand meters in the air, obscured by wind and snow, he plunged headlong into the swirling snow, crashing straight down into the massive frozen lake below. The two rushed to his aid, but failed to catch Lin Hui, who should have been in freefall.
They all came up empty-handed.
When they came to their senses, the two hurriedly flew down to the frozen lake, just in time to see Lin Hui landing gently on the lake surface, looking up at them. "Did you use some kind of special descent equipment?" Ding Yiran low voice.
Ding Luo nodded slightly.
She thought so too, because she didn't sense any kind of energy fluctuations.
"Be careful what you do later, you're different now." They'd sparred before and knew each other's strengths. Of course, their last spar was a few months ago. Back then, Ding Yiran hadn't yet absorbed most of Han Yan's soul, and her strength was far inferior to what it is now. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ding Yiran nodded.
Before fusing with the God King's soul, he had already reached the third ring according to the test. Now... even he himself doesn't know how strong he really is. Therefore, his eldest sister Ding Luo can no longer defeat him.
Ding Luo was well aware of this, and immediately took the lead in making a move.
His body shone with golden Divine Power, and two white rune rings appeared on his back.
In a flash, she flew towards Lin Hui, extending her right hand to give the kid a good slap, to teach him that some things are not to be joked about or boasted about.
On the frozen lake, Ding Luo's figure transformed into a thin golden line, arriving in front of Lin Hui in the blink of an eye. He slapped Lin Hui across the left cheek.
Swish!
The next moment, her slap missed its mark.
It wasn't dodged; it actually passed right through Lin Hui's body, as if he were just a phantom standing there.
Ding Luo rushed to the back in astonishment, turned around to look at Lin Hui, and his eyes changed instantly.
"What kind of new technology is this, kid?"
"I'll do it!" Ding Yiran also noticed something was wrong. She immediately flapped her wings and vanished from her original spot, appearing directly above Lin Hui. She then struck Lin Hui's left shoulder with a palm strike.
Swish.
The same effect occurred; his palm struck through the target without touching anything solid.
"What the hell!?" This was the first time Ding Yiran had encountered such a situation, but his personality was different from Ding Luo's. After realizing something was wrong, he didn't back down, but instead closed in and unleashed a storm of punches all over Lin Hui's body.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!
The intense whooshing sounds converged, carving deep ravines into the surface of the frozen lake behind Lin Hui.
But it didn't work!
All attacks would simply pass through Lin Hui, leaving no trace.
"Is this real?!" Ding Yiran dodged back. "Are you some kind of 3D projection? You didn't actually spar with a real person at all??"
He quickly considered this possibility.
" Second Brother, are you just resorting to slander because you've run out of options?"
Lin Hui was speechless.
"Slander? Prove you're not a projection. It's simple: just touch us, and you win!" Ding Yiran laughed. "What's in it for me if I win?" Lin Hui asked.
"From now on, I'll listen to everything you say. If you win, it proves you're stronger than me, and then what you said before must have been true," Ding Yiran said readily. Lin Hui then looked at Ding Luo.
The latter nodded as well.
"Yes, I agree."
"You guys really don't believe in superstitions..." Lin Hui gently raised his hand.
"Huh? Teacher!?" A sudden shout interrupted his actions.
Not far away, a golden halo rapidly approached, hovering in mid-air nearby, looking in this direction.
In the golden light, Lin Yuexiu Joshua were clearly visible.
The two seemed to be heading somewhere together when they noticed the commotion and went to investigate.
The Red Pattern Star is only so big, and the power fluctuations of the second and third rings are very clear on a planetary scale.
Actually, it wasn't just him; many captain-level powerhouses from the Central Star Group, as well as reclusive experts above the second ring, had noticed the commotion. "Teacher!?" Ding Yiran looked around, wondering if they were calling her.
He and Lin Yuexiu were familiar captains, Joshua had also had some contact with her, occasionally sparring together. He had heard Lin Yuexiu mention her mysterious and unpredictable teacher.
But now... who is Lin Yuexiu calling "teacher"??
She mistook someone for someone else?
He looked around, but couldn't find his target.
Ding Luo felt the same way, suspecting that the other party had mistaken her for someone else. Although she was not familiar with Lin Yuexiu, the powerful fluctuations of Divine Power emanating from the two of them made it easy for her to determine that they were not weak.
Joshua, who was with Lin Yuexiu, followed his friend's gaze and immediately spotted Lin Hui on the frozen lake.
"He's your master?!" she asked Lin Yuexiu, pointing at Lin Hui in surprise.
"Yes, teacher, why did you come all of a sudden? Did you come to see me?" Lin Yuexiu happily flew down and landed beside Lin Hui, about to hug him.
With such a clear indication this time, everyone can see who her teacher really is.
"!!?" Ding Luo.
"!!!" Ding Yiran.
"??!" Joshua.
Although the three women had different emotional states, they all shared one thing in common: they were stunned and didn't know how to react. "Long time no see. Try to be more composed in public." Lin Hui's figure blurred as he avoided Lin Yuexiu's embrace.
"I have something to take care of here. Please wait over there."
"Yes!" Lin Yuexiu nodded immediately and obediently flew to the side.
"Should we fight again?" Lin Hui asked, looking at his eldest sister and Second Brother.
"Fight?" Lin Yuexiu blinked, looking at Ding Luo and the other person with confusion. She didn't understand why these two were fighting the teacher together.
"How strong is your teacher?" Joshua to her side and asked softly.
"I don't know." Lin Yuexiu shook her head.
"No, how did you become his disciple if you didn't know how strong he is?" Joshua was stunned.
"I was very young then, and it was my teacher who saved me. Although my teacher was also young, he healed me and taught me various sword techniques. However, I have never truly sparred with my teacher at full strength since then," Lin Yuexiu replied honestly.
"No, how old are you? How old are your teachers?!" Joshua was dumbfounded.
"She was a little older than me, not much. Probably around ten years old. I remember back then, the teacher would often secretly bring me food from home to eat, I really miss those days."
Ding Luo and Ding Yiran could naturally hear the conversation between Lin Yuexiu and Ding Yiran, who were so close.
The two men's expressions changed, clearly recalling how Lin Hui used to often pack up dinner and use it as an excuse to go out.
It all makes sense now, everything makes sense.
The two men looked at Lin Hui with strange expressions, remaining silent for a long time.
"Still want to fight?" Lin Hui smiled.
"Fight! Why won't you fight!"
Ding Yiran said fiercely, "The conditions are the same as before. As long as you run into me, I'll do whatever you say from now on!"
He was feeling very conflicted. On one hand, his previous memories and beliefs had been overturned, and on the other hand, he felt a strong sense of unreality towards Lin Hui, which he needed to be identified by some tangible feeling.
"Interesting..." Lin Hui smiled, glancing at Ding Luo, who also looked puzzled. "Does eldest sister think so too?"
"I... I'm a little confused." Ding Luo sighed. She felt that everything was too absurd, yet everything before her eyes made perfect sense. "Then let's stick to our previous agreement." Lin Hui chuckled.
"Master, I also want to fight you!" Lin Yuexiu jumped into the arena, eager to try.
"I never knew how strong you were, Master. Could you really show us your skills today?"
"It's alright, you can come along too." Lin Hui smiled gently. "Actually, for me, quantity doesn't matter anymore." "So arrogant!? Can I join in?" Joshua also laughed, interested in getting involved.
"Of course." Lin Hui nodded.
"Great!" Joshua jumped off the field and pulled out the thick metal cannon barrel from his back.
She has now switched to a new weapon, combining technology and Divine Power power techniques to create a completely new science and martial arts system. This has greatly amplified the killing power of her Divine Power techniques.
Lin Hui looked at the group of people in front of him. They were the seed candidates for the future revolution of mankind. Apart from the eldest sister, the others all had very obvious Time String behind them.
Among them, the apprentice Lin Yuexiu was the eldest, Time String was so tall that he hung above her head, forming a huge structure that blocked out the sky.
Ding Yiran, secondly, is probably the same size as the frozen lake beneath her feet.
Then there's Joshua, about the size of a three-story house.
"Ready?" He smiled at the four of them.
"Come on, come on!" Ding Yiran's hands rapidly formed a thick layer of bone material, gold, black, and red, three different powers mixed together, forming a strange tri-colored fluorescent gauntlet.
Clearly, he was serious this time. Although he wouldn't admit it to Lin Hui verbally, he had already taken many things seriously.
It's no longer like children playing house.
Lin Yuexiu charged up for the second time, her body radiating golden light mixed with pale blue Wind Energy fluctuations. It wasn't Wind Disaster, but genuine Wind Energy. As Lin Hui's first test subject in converting wind Wind Energy, she had now truly begun to use Wind Energy to fight her enemies.
Ding Luo Joshua also unleashed their Divine Power, which was also golden.
Looking at it this way, it turned out that all four people present were related to the God Clan —either they were born into the God Clan or they had very deep indirect connections with the God Clan. Seeing that the four were ready, Lin Hui clenched his fist in the air to the right.
Boom!!
A deafening roar, like thunder, resounded.
The sky darkened, the atmosphere spun rapidly, and countless gray clouds descended from the sky, forming a funnel shape that converged in Lin Hui's hand, gradually condensing into a slender, gray-blue sword blade.
The moment the longsword was formed, an immense and terrifying pressure instantly spread over the four people present.
"Wind."
Lin Hui gripped the sword hilt and called out softly.
In that instant, the atmospheres of more than ten planets surrounding Red Pattern Star trembled simultaneously, showing a faint tendency to break free from the planet's constraints and converge towards its location.
