My Honkai: Star Rail System Arrived Early

Two stunned faces collided.

"Tail, control him!"

Huohuo commanded Tail at this moment.

Then, manipulated by the Suiyang Subjugation Art, Tail smoothly entered the enemy's body. Under Huohuo's command, it controlled the enemy's body, immediately making it charge into enemy fire and shoot at other enemies.

At this moment, the Cloud Knights, who had been suppressed by the gunfire, all charged forward and took down the enemies.

"I, I really took down the enemy?"

Huohuo seemed somewhat stunned, looking at the fallen enemies.

I can defeat enemies too?

Tail flew back and said to Huohuo, clearly annoyed, "Yeah, you threw me out. In all my years on the Xianzhou, I've seen countless ways to use Suiyang energy, but you're the first to just chuck a Suiyang."

Ji Yuan, however, disagreed with Tail and encouraged Huohuo. "This is great. As long as you win, any method is good. Besides, if you weren't going to subjugate Suiyang, why would I teach you the techniques for it?"

"Kid, are you trying to provoke me?"

Tail said, unable to suppress its anger.

"Oh? Shall we talk about it then?"

Ji Yuan rolled up his sleeves in response.

"In that case, let's forget it."

Tail suppressed its temper.

"Huohuo, don't listen to Tail. You did very well today. You managed to deal with such a tall enemy. You can handle other enemies you encounter later."

"Mhm, mhm."

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Huohuo lowered her head shyly, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She had finally accomplished something; she had defeated the 'terrifying' enemy.

I really can do it...

Looking at Ji Yuan, Huohuo's small face couldn't hide her smile.

Huohuo was happy that she could finally do something, and it was all thanks to her teacher.

Although, he was a bit forceful.

Huohuo was happy, but Ji Yuan was even happier.

[You fought side-by-side with the Luofu Starfaring Vessel's Chief Adjudicator Huohuo, facing powerful enemies together, and helped the Chief Adjudicator, whose heart was already like steel, cast aside lingering fear. Reward: Sun-Stealing Technique.]

Upon seeing the first half, Ji Yuan wore a speechless expression.

Heart like steel, the only remaining...

Ji Yuan looked at Huohuo, who was showing extreme fear towards everything around her, and sighed inwardly, wondering how she had changed so much in just a hundred years.

Then, looking at the latter half, his expression became even more speechless.

What the heck is Sun-Stealing?

Does this world also have some sort of Joyful Union Sect?

As Ji Yuan carefully studied the technique, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This wasn't a Joyful Union Sect technique, but a method specifically for absorbing energy from Suiyang. Sun-Stealing meant stealing energy from Suiyang and strengthening oneself.

The Xianzhou had indeed utilized Suiyang energy quite a bit, but there was no precedent for absorbing Suiyang directly into the body. Typically, when Suiyang entered a body, it would possess the host.

However, Ji Yuan's technique treated Suiyang as a heavenly treasure for cultivation, directly absorbing it into his body to strengthen himself. Combined with Ji Yuan's Suiyang Subjugation Art, as long as there was enough Suiyang, he could rapidly upgrade himself.

Even if Ji Yuan were more wicked, he could find a group of Suiyang to go out and cause trouble by possessing others, and then absorb them back into his own body. At that point, Ji Yuan's power would increase significantly.

"It's a shame my strength isn't enough, otherwise I could absorb some of Phantylia's energy right now."

Ji Yuan thought regretfully.

Gaining the power of the Lord of Destruction, even if not all of it, Ji Yuan felt he could grow considerably.

He looked at Huohuo and patted her shoulder.

"Let's go, we should head back."

"Mhm, okay."

Huohuo followed behind Ji Yuan.

The two returned to headquarters.

As soon as Ji Yuan arrived at headquarters, he saw Phantylia, disguised as Tingyun, lounging with her legs crossed in the hall.

Seeing Ji Yuan, she immediately greeted him with a beaming smile.

She's throwing herself at me, throwing herself at me! Every time I see Ji Yuan, I have to find a way to throw myself at him. What is Tingyun thinking about when it comes to love!

Phantylia thought to herself while smiling.

"What happened to you two?" Phantylia sniffed, detecting a strong scent of gunpowder on him.

Seeing Phantylia like this, Ji Yuan felt lucky.

"I'm taking Huohuo outside for some practical combat training."

"Is that so? Huohuo, you must train diligently." Phantylia heard this and reached out to pat Huohuo's head.

Her tail felt something was off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.

Phantylia tilted her head as if recalling something and said to Ji Yuan, "Oh, right. Lord Genyi asked you to identify if the new batch of prisoners and spoils of war include any disguised Buli Ren."

"Alright, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately clenched his fists.

Seeing Ji Yuan's action, Huohuo looked scared.

Her teacher is about to do it again.

Phantylia put on a speechless expression, but she was curious.

Identifying disguised Buli Ren wasn't difficult, as the Abundance Followers' disguises were ridiculously low-end. But how could he identify them just by using his fists? Even Phantylia couldn't figure out how.

Mimicking Tingyun's emotions, as if she didn't know.

The seed of curiosity slowly began to sprout.

Chapter 52: Phantylia: Ji Yuan, this little bug, has piqued my curiosity even further!

Ji Yuan told Huohuo to rest first.

He was afraid that if others were around Phantylia, and she decided to do something else, Huohuo or Shang Shang might be in danger.

If anyone thought Phantylia was some kind-hearted soul, Ji Yuan could guarantee they wouldn't even know how they died.

He would go with her alone.

Keeping a slight distance, preventing Phantylia from getting too close, just as he had done with Tingyun before.

Phantylia tried to sneak closer, but Ji Yuan quietly dodged away.

However, he didn't completely evade her, instead showing a hesitant expression.

It seemed as if he wanted to get closer but was also afraid.

This greatly whetted Phantylia's appetite.

The two walked like this to where the prisoners were being held. Ji Yuan found that Genyi and Yanqing were both there.

"Big Brother, Miss Tingyun!"

Yanqing waved at the two.

Seeing Ji Yuan and Tingyun approach, Genyi couldn't help but tease, "Yo, you two are here together again. When you get married, I'm definitely coming to get a drink."

Phantylia's expression turned 'shy,' and she subtly glanced at Ji Yuan, smiling as she said, "Lord Genyi, please don't joke. This humble girl and Ji Yuan are just ordinary friends."

I don't believe that for a second!

Yanqing, this young child, thought to himself, unable to help but inwardly complain.

"Alright, I'll consider you ordinary friends. If I introduce other girls to young Ji Yuan then, don't get jealous." Genyi pointed at the prisoners. "Come on, here's another batch of prisoners. Let's verify them properly."

"Mm." Ji Yuan nodded, swinging his fists as he asked Genyi, "Lord Genyi, are we going to verify all the prisoners on this planet?"

How many people were still on this planet? How long would this fist-to-fist beating continue?

"Don't worry, there aren't many left. This isn't a residential planet. Those who come here are basically high-ranking officials of the Orion Trading Company and some service personnel. The population is much smaller than usual. Moreover, most of the army is still putting up a desperate resistance, while the high-ranking officials and their families have either committed suicide or are still resisting, so there aren't that many to verify. As for these goods, we only need to take what's useful. Once all this is done, we will begin an indiscriminate sweep of the planet's surface."

Completely annihilating a trading company capable of interstellar trade seemed quite cruel. However, considering their collusion with the Buli Ren, Ji Yuan felt no psychological pressure.

One had to know that the Buli Ren were a bunch of lunatics. What kind of good people would cooperate with lunatics?

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and began the identification work.

Punch after punch...

Ji Yuan once again began beating the prisoners.

Regardless of gender or age, I'll just keep hitting...

Genyi watched from the side and waved his hand speechlessly.

"My kind heart can't bear to watch this. I'll go handle my work."

He quietly left.

Hearing Genyi's words, Ji Yuan inwardly scoffed:

Anyone who can become Jing Yuan's second-in-command can't be soft-hearted.

Whatever, keep hitting...

Phantylia observed carefully from the side, still unable to figure out how Ji Yuan was doing it.

Can he really tell if it's a Buli Ren disguise just by beating them?

Phantylia wondered to herself.

If an Emissary or someone from the Genius Club did it, she wouldn't feel anything. The problem was that Ji Yuan was just an ordinary civil official.

In her eyes, he was like an insect, yet he managed to accomplish something she couldn't comprehend. If she couldn't figure it out, Phantylia felt a stone lodged in her throat.

Seeing someone behind her whose armor was a Buli Ren in disguise, Phantylia's heart stirred slightly. She quietly infused energy into Ji Yuan's fist, creating a buffer between him and the person he was about to face.

"Let's see if you can detect it now?"

Phantylia thought to herself, and then watched as Ji Yuan's fist struck the person.

Ji Yuan left without changing his expression.

"See? You didn't notice that, did you?"

Phantylia chuckled inwardly.

"Thought his skills were all that impressive.

Turns out, he's nothing special."

Just as she was thinking this, she keenly noticed something amiss in Ji Yuan's movements.

He was about to draw his sword.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen through the Buli Ren's disguise, but rather that he simply wanted to maintain a safe distance.

Ji Yuan thrust his sword into the person's armor.

Crack!

The armor shattered, and the Buli Ren revealed itself, appearing there.

Yanqing watched from the side, quickly drawing his sword and attacking. He easily dealt with the Buli Ren.

"Huh!?"

Phantylia's surprise grew.

She had her own measures in place to block detection, yet Ji Yuan was still able to verify it?
