The Next One

Inside the laboratory, Lu Li looked at Xiao He had stopped the deterioration reaction, and thought to himself that it wasn't too late.

Based on some experimental data from the other party, as well as some intelligence he had, it was known that even if Xiao He used the portal to travel to a world, it wouldn't be too far from Waterblue Star. Therefore, Lu Li sent people to search for worlds as close to Waterblue Star as possible.

Of course, "nearby" is only relative. There are countless creatures in this world, like grains of sand in a river. Even with standards for searching, the Shadow Legion almost missed their target even with all its resources mobilized.

Of course, there were other factors at play as well, but in any case, Lu Li still managed to find the Dou Qi world that Xiao He had transmigrated to and brought the situation there under control.

The situation over there was also reported: Waterblue Castle had been breached, and more than half of the original hundred-plus knights and seven thousand-plus civilians had been killed or wounded. After Lu Li had them list the casualty timeline, he roughly confirmed that Xiao He's decline in fighting spirit was related to the forces over there.

"We need more precise data!" Lu Li looked at Xiao He had now turned into a mountain of flesh and was on the verge of death, and once again relayed the order to the Shadow Legion.

"Kill the two knights of Waterblue Castle first!"

So, back at Waterblue Castle, hundreds of the Shadow Legion members killed two knights of Waterblue Castle amidst the bewildered gazes of both sides who were being controlled. Lu Li once again discovered that Xiao He's battle aura had degenerated, and he had gained even more weight.

"Kill one hundred of your subjects!"

The order was carried out without hesitation by the Shadow Legion. One hundred civilians were randomly selected, regardless of their height, weight, gender, or age, and their cries and pleas for mercy were ignored; they were all executed.

Xiao He's fighting spirit had weakened again, but overall it was about the same as killing two knights. This made Lu Li thoughtful, so he immediately began to give orders. "Force the four knights from the opposing forces to join Waterblue Castle."

Lu Li then discovered that Xiao He's internal fighting spirit had begun to circulate on its own, refining some fat into fighting spirit, a high-energy substance. Sure enough, Xiao He's ability to use abilities that others could not on Waterblue Star was closely related to his power in the other world.

"Devils! These people are all devils!" The old butler was restrained to the side by an unknown force.

He had originally planned to give his life for the master, but unexpectedly he was saved before he died. He originally thought that these armored men who saved them were a miracle created by the master, but he did not expect that they would restrict everyone's movement ability as soon as they arrived.

However, if it were only this, it would still be advantageous to Waterblue Castle. But the series of actions the other side took next completely baffled the old steward. First, they killed the people of Waterblue Castle, and then they forced the members of the noble alliance to swear allegiance to Waterblue Castle. What exactly are you trying to do? Is this some kind of joke?

So the old steward could only pin the blame on the devil. Of course, this devil was now to their advantage. After killing some people from Waterblue Castle at the beginning, these people had been slowly forcing the noble alliance to join Waterblue Castle.

Sometimes one person, sometimes two. In this way, most of the noble coalition that originally came to eliminate Waterblue Castle swore an oath to join Waterblue Castle. With so many people as witnesses, this oath was basically undeniable. As for those who were unwilling to swear an oath, they were naturally executed on the spot.

"But no matter what, Waterblue Castle has been saved. When Master returns after breaking through to Sky Knight, he might be able to control these black-armored men. With so much power, Waterblue Castle is now strong enough to establish a kingdom!" That was the only way the old steward could console himself.

At this moment, Lu Li looked at Xiao He in front of him. Xiao He's body had entered the highest realm of martial arts, where there was no desire or thought. His fighting spirit was circulating rapidly, and the fat on his body had completely disappeared, restoring his original strong and muscular appearance.

The other person's body underwent rapid changes, as if some force was supporting Xiao He's rapid evolution. At the cut-out frontal lobe of his brain, some substances began to gather, as if something extraordinary was about to be generated.

Lu Li squinted and did not use the Tiger Balm Technique again, but instead issued an order to the Shadow Legion.

After receiving the order, the Shadow Legion of the Dou Qi World exchanged glances and slowly floated up. The group below was puzzled. These people had suddenly arrived, done a series of things for no apparent reason, and now they were floating away. Were they leaving?

"Damn it... Die!" Xiao He, who should have been practically a vegetable, was now staring at Lu Li with hatred in his eyes. His fighting spirit swirled around him, and his body floated up, clearly indicating that he had broken through to the Sky Realm.

Lu Li glanced at Xiao He, packed up some research materials, shook his head, and walked away. This made Xiao He even Wrath. Ever since he discovered the portal, he had been sailing smoothly. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he could easily overcome them by taking advantage of the differences between the two worlds.

This time, however, the other party removed his frontal lobe, turning him into a fool. If it weren't for his extraordinary good fortune and comprehension, which allowed him to reach a higher level and turn misfortune into blessing by condensing his fighting spirit brain, he would have been humiliated as an experimental subject for the rest of his life.

He had never suffered such a loss before. Watching Lu Li walk away into the distance, he naturally circulated his battle qi frantically and flew towards him. He took out a greatsword from his storage ring, determined to keep him here and torture him severely to vent his hatred.

"Trying to escape? No way! Stay here!!!" Xiao He said viciously, but a feeling of extreme fear instantly arose in his heart, as if some great disaster was about to happen.

Without thinking, Xiao He abandoned Lu Li and quickly rushed towards the teleportation portal. This action was almost instinctive, causing him to give up attacking Lu Li.

But it was all in vain. The Shadow Legion of Waterblue Castle watched as the people below joined forces, and a large amount of Shadow Magic converged and crashed directly onto the ground, erasing the entire Waterblue Castle from this world.

Xiao He's expression twisted and contorted as he rushed to the front of the teleportation portal, but the high-energy substance called Dou Qi in his body began to degenerate rapidly, and the Dou Qi brain constructed from Dou Qi in his mind also began to fade away.

The person instantly swelled up into a giant ball of flesh, with limbs and head completely covered in fat. This enormous ball of flesh continued to swell until, with a loud bang, the room transformed into a slaughterhouse.

Lu Li walked with peculiar steps, his body trembling slightly. The sunlight shining on him seemed to rotate with his movements, covering him and achieving optical invisibility in another sense.

Even without a supernatural world, with enough skill, it's possible to perform many similar superpower-like actions. Looking up at the sky, it's time for the next test subject.
