Zhang Xuezhou's communicator rarely communicated.

Firstly, he doesn't have many true core friends. Everyone knows each other well, things are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are few things that need to be communicated through communication.

Secondly, Zhang Xuezhou would occasionally fall into a coma for twelve days at a time, which would cause a significant delay in sending messages to new friends with whom he had not had much contact.

Once everyone understood Zhang Xuezhou's physical condition, the frequency of sending messages decreased.

Zhang Xuezhou never expected that Zuo Teng would send a message at such a crucial moment.

Before Luo Gaogao's reply could be received, the communicator's notification tone undoubtedly gave Luo Tianming and Professor Luo Hui a wrong judgment.

Their gazes swept over each other, then over Zhang Xuezhou and Song Sijia, who were on the other side. Professor Luo Hui even flicked his finger slightly, causing one of the flying needles to deflect and begin pointing towards Zhang Xuezhou's location.

"It's time to get going, Luo Tianming!"

Professor Luo Hui looked at Luo Tianming, who was naked and covered in bruises, three meters away. He then looked at Luo Tianming's right hand, which was swollen as if he had been stung by a bee, and his right leg, which was also swollen. His gaze inadvertently swept over the flying needle that Luo Tianming was holding in his left hand with a towel.

Even though Luo Tianming had lost his right hand and right foot, Professor Luo Hui dared not be careless in the slightest.

Only by blowing the opponent's head off can victory be truly secured.

He gave a shout, waiting for a possible opportunity.

In Professor Luo Hui's plan, there was at least an 80% chance that he could persuade Luo Gaogao to reply to Zhang Xuezhou with a false message.

This would make Zhang Xuezhou lean towards him, giving him an 80% chance of shooting Luo Tianming.

The moment Luo Tianming made a move, his flying needles would seal off his escape route.

He slowly uttered a sound, causing Luo Tianming, who was opposite Professor Luo Hui, to change his expression repeatedly.

Many of the results are the seeds sown in the past.

Luo Tianming's only hatred was that the times had changed. Otherwise, he wouldn't only have Luo Hui as his confidant, and Luo Hui wouldn't be the one to rebel now.

He couldn't help but wonder who Zhang Xuezhou was shooting at.

Everything he said was true; it was Luo Hui who was lying. Zhang Xuezhou should have shot Luo Hui after receiving the information, but Luo Tianming wasn't sure about human nature, after all, his kinship with Luo Gaogao was limited.

He couldn't guess what message Luo Gaogao had replied to Zhang Xuezhou, or whose judgment Zhang Xuezhou would lean towards.

"Snap!"

In the almost silent training room, the sound of triggers and gunshots rang out. Luo Tianming was about to move his left leg when he felt no danger of being shot at him, which made him stop in his tracks.

With a flick of his towel, his left hand, now transformed into blue, shot out the poisoned needle he had grabbed in reverse.

Eight more flying needles shot out, completely blocking any space to move around in any direction.

Nine faint lights flashed in the air, intersecting in an instant, accompanied by Luo Tianming and Luo Hui shifting positions and engaging in a rapid close-range battle.

"Missing!"

Not only did Zhang Xuezhou's gun miss its target, but Luo Tianming and Professor Luo Hui's flying needles also went astray.

Professors Luo Tianming and Luo Hui were shocked, thinking that Zhang Xuezhou was just bragging, talking about bullets with high penetrating power, the Song 237 version, and shooting off Song Xianzong's fingers and toes.

The bullets fired by the enemy not only failed to injure Luo Tianming and Luo Hui, but also caused both of them to misjudge their opponent's actions.

A heavy, dull, close-quarters clash suddenly erupted on the training field.

Luo Tianming and Luo Hui, who are skilled in throwing needles, are not only good at long-range attacks, but also at close combat.

The sharp nails that appeared after the two used their genetic abilities were almost equivalent to long needles.

The ten fingers are like ten long needles strong enough to pierce through the body's defenses. Once pierced by their fingers, the opponent will inevitably suffer excruciating pain and be subjected to their continuous attacks.

The sharp, piercing sounds, like weapons clashing, echoed continuously in the training room, as the two violently destroyed and shattered many surrounding objects, sending sharp objects flying everywhere.

"Walk!"

The low voice made Zhang Xuezhou and Song Sijia quickly crawl backward.

"If we get up now, open the door, and try to escape, will we get beaten to death?" Song Sijia asked in a low voice.

"Meeting!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

This is where Luo Tianming and Luo Hui will fight to the death. The two will use all their strength to kill their opponent and will not give the other any chance to escape.

For this reason, leaving the door open to allow for an escape route was a major taboo for these two people.

If Zhang Xuezhou and the others forcibly try to open the gate, they may all encounter attacks from Professors Luo Tianming and Luo Hui.

"Should we continue shooting?"

"How can you shoot if you can't even tell the person apart!"

"Song 237 lock..."

"Can't be locked!"

Song Sijia was about to say that as long as Song 237 locked onto the person, there was almost no chance of failure at close range, but when she thought about how Zhang Xuezhou had deliberately fired a bullet, creating two empty slots in the magazine with the bullet she fired, thus firing a blank shot with a 100% success rate after pulling the trigger, she quickly agreed.

Regardless of how you look at it, they've already lived for thirty seconds longer.

Zhang Xuezhou's firing a blank caused the two men to misjudge the situation almost simultaneously.

Professor Luo Hui did not eliminate them, nor did Luo Tianming strike them down.

A blank shot rang out, once again setting the stage for the life-or-death duel between Luo Tianming and Professor Luo Hui.

Belatedly realizing the situation, Song Sijia even understood why Zhang Xuezhou's communicator was playing notifications aloud, which was likely a major factor that led Luo Tianming and Luo Hui to misjudge the situation.

"Wait until I change my position before I aim!"

Zhang Xuezhou and Song Sijia crawled backward, making them difficult to notice, but when he replied to Song Sijia, his voice wasn't quiet.

If the attention continues, Zhang Xuezhou feels he has said what needed to be said.

He fired a blank, then used the aiming as an excuse to stall for time.

As long as the two men believe that he is not their target, he can indeed remain relatively safe in a corner without being attacked.

If anyone perceives him as a threat, Zhang Xuezhou and Song Sijia are the first unexpected factors that need to be eliminated in the struggle.

Holding Song 237 in his grasp, Zhang Xuezhou realized that he had very few means to intervene in the conflict.

His most effective means at the moment is suppression.

Suppressing Luo Tianming, who has already cultivated the Mental Strengthening Chapter, is insufficient, while suppressing Professor Luo Hui may have a temporary effect.

In particular, with Zhang Xuezhou advancing the Mental Strengthening Chapter to its sixth stage, his spiritual power has become even stronger, which will also have a certain effect on the pressure of his realm.

As for his other skills, let's not even mention them; in the current situation, even the Sand Entanglement Technique is difficult to use.

However, the deterrent effect of the Kunpeng Combat Technique is currently inferior to that of the Realm Suppression Pressure.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't always carry the Infinite Sword and Infinite Gun; he didn't have any suitable weapons at hand.

His current hopes are threefold: first, to suppress the rebellion; second, to ensure that Song 237 truly possesses sufficient lethality; and third, to have Song Sijia assist in firing her weapon when his suppression has an impact.

After careful calculation, Zhang Xuezhou's capital is only this much.

He whispered a few words in her ear, which made Song Sijia nod repeatedly.

The Song 237 can lock onto people, but only one at a time. Song Sijia couldn't help but wonder who Zhang Xuezhou was locking onto with the Song 237, and how he could determine that she would be able to hit the person when she fired.
