After getting accustomed to the long knife, Bai Lixin straightened his back and approached Billy, his narrowed eyes holding a hint of contempt.
Billy’s anger surged from the soles of his feet. He let out a low growl as his entire body became covered in metal, and he took the initiative to attack.
He dared to look at me with such eyes, truly tired of living!
Since you all want to die, then I’ll send you all to hell!
This time, he used the same method he used to deal with Xia Chi. He planned to initially wear down and toy with Bai Lixin, completely crushing his confidence, and then catch him off guard and kill him.
With a punch, Bai Lixin narrowly avoided it, just as he had expected, and dodged to the side.
Then Billy threw his second punch, and the young man still managed to barely evade it, just as he had predicted.
Billy chuckled lightly. His third punch, fourth punch… each strike brought with it a gust of wind, and the speed of his punches increased.
On this battlefield, he was the king, the player behind the chessboard. The young man in front of him was merely a pawn in his hands. The young man probably believed that he had dodged the attacks solely based on his own abilities, not realizing that it was all part of his deliberate plan.
But after so many punches, the opponent’s strength should have weakened, right?
Billy thought somewhat regretfully. What a pity to waste such a beautiful face and body. If he hadn’t offended him, they could have played together.
Suppressing his regret, Billy glanced at Bai Lixin, only to find that the young man had maintained a lazy posture all along.
His forehead was unblemished, not even a drop of sweat dripping down.
Billy felt a faint astonishment and a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
Just as his fist was about to reach the young man, this time, the young man didn’t choose to dodge. Instead, he gripped the long knife with both hands, seemingly preparing to attack.
It was just a simple motion of raising the knife, but Billy instinctively stopped in his tracks and quickly retreated.
It was only after landing that he realized what he had done, and he couldn’t help but be amazed.
Long-term battles had ingrained a muscle memory of danger in his body. Once he sensed danger, his body would instinctively react. His body was retreating now, what did that indicate?
Seeing Billy retreat, the young man softly exclaimed, “Oh, it seems you’re not a complete idiot after all. There’s something there.”
Clearly, he was the quasi-S-level ability user, while the young man in front of him was just a low-ranking waste. But when facing him, the young man didn’t show any fear at all.
No, It wasn’t just the absence of fear, from the very beginning, he had never been afraid of him.
Billy took a deep breath, and his gaze gradually became alert.
The young man chuckled and said, “Since you’re not attacking, then let me take over, Instructor Billy.”
In the next moment, the young man suddenly leaped up, the chilling long knife gleaming with icy light, carrying an aura that could tear through space, slashing towards him.
Billy wanted to escape, but as he glanced at the training ground, he immediately noticed the disdain and surprise in Sally’s and the others’ eyes.
Escape?
He couldn’t escape!
Not contending for a piece of bread but for dignity. If he escaped, Sally would mock him for the rest of his life!
Finally, sentiment prevailed over the instinct of his body. Billy raised his hand and blocked the opponent’s long knife with his metallic arm.
With a loud “bang,” the long knife struck the bronze-colored metallic arm, and sparks flew everywhere.
Billy stepped back, his arm tingling.
Such a heavy and swift blade, even faster than when Sally wields it himself.
But before Billy could recover, the young man’s dazzling flurry of attacks descended.
Each strike aimed at the same spot.
In the young man’s hand, the long knife swung like a white light, occasionally reflecting the sun’s iridescent radiance.
The young man’s hand moved so swiftly that it disappeared completely from the sight of the onlookers.
Everyone stared in astonishment at the sudden reversal of the battle in front of them. They didn’t even know what had happened. Even the owner of the long knife, Sally, stood still, his usually solemn face shocked, and his mouth was wide open, wide enough to fit an egg.
Billy was actually suppressed?
Being beaten down by a lower-level ability user?!
What did I say earlier? Did I say Bai Lixin was overestimating himself? Did I say the people cheering around were ignorant?
Damn.
I apologize, I was the ignorant one.
In the training ground, a scream suddenly resounded. Something traced a parabola in the sky and rolled to a stop in front of Sally.
When he saw the arm at his feet, Sally’s mouth opened even wider.
Fuck! Impressive! This is boss-level. He actually chopped off Billy’s hand?
Damn, the cut is unbelievably smooth!

In the live broadcast room.
[Ah, the ending was completely predictable.]
[Yes, no suspense at all.]
[Tsk tsk, still a dull grand finale.]
[Teacher Sally is going to make me laugh to death. His expression is as if he’s preparing to swallow an ostrich egg alive.]
Sally is still too young, unaware of the dangers of the world. How can a boss who can easily defeat copies be afraid of a mere quasi S-class ability user? Honestly, if a true S-class appeared, I don’t think he would be God Xin’s match in a 1v1 fight.]
[God Xin would even say, ‘Not impressive enough.’]
[From now on, God Xin will become the demon in Billy’s heart.]
[Sally’s gaze at God Xin has completely changed. Is this the true transformation of a fan?]
[Hahaha, Sally is going to be played to death.]
—————–
Bai Lixin severed one of Billy’s arms and then halted his actions.
Billy knelt on the ground, blood flowing copiously from the wound. He looked up at the young man standing before him with horror, and met his eyes.
The young man said, “Want to know how you lost?”
Billy trembled slightly, then nodded.
The young man continued, “I used a mental attack on you.”
Billy was taken aback, “When? Even if it was a mental attack, in a situation where there is a disparity in levels, I would have been able to sense it. But I didn’t notice anything just now.”
The young man explained, “When I launched a fierce attack on you, all of your abilities were focused on resisting my attacks. How could you have noticed that I used a mental attack?”
“I linked with your ability, using it as nourishment to continue launching my own ability against you.”
“In essence, I used your own power to attack you.”
Billy looked up at Bai Lixin in disbelief, “You’re saying I was defeated by my own hand? That’s preposterous!”
“Preposterous bullshit,” a severed arm suddenly kicked in front of Billy, and Sally stood in the distance, saying, “Billy, stop dawdling here. Hurry up and find someone to reattach your arm. Otherwise, you’ll truly be left with only one arm. Now get lost.”
Billy’s face turned pale. He cautiously looked up at Bai Lixin.
He felt that something was off with his body. Just a moment ago, he felt full of strength, but now he felt weak, as if all his strength had been drained by something.
Even Yuan’s ability seemed to have disappeared.
He needed to quickly find Dr. Sang and see if there was any issue with Yuan’s ability.
With this thought in mind, Billy hastily grabbed his severed arm and left in a sorry state.
S419M’s voice echoed in Bai Lixin’s mind, [Congratulations, Lord host, for successfully absorbing the crystal core energy. The color of the crystal core in your brain has now turned yellow.]
Bai Lixin handed the long knife back to Sally with both hands, apologizing, “Teacher Sally, I’m sorry for damaging your knife.”
Sally glanced at his long knife in a daze, finding that the originally sharp blade was now chipped.
Ah, this…
Sally said, “Well done, truly remarkable. Your hand isn’t injured, right?”
Bai Lixin: “?”
Is your brain sick?
Five minutes later, Billy arrived on the eighth underground floor, clutching his severed arm.
As soon as he entered the glass door, he immediately knelt before Dr. Sang, “Dr. Sang, please save me.”
Dr. Sang was in a daze when he looked down and saw a bloodied man before him. He furrowed his brow almost imperceptibly and asked, “Who are you?”
Billy hesitated for a moment, “Dr. Sang, it’s me, Billy. Don’t you remember? A few days ago, you performed a heart transplant on me using Yuan’s heart. Have you forgotten?”
Dr. Sang recalled for a couple of seconds, “Oh, yes, I vaguely remember that surgery. What’s the matter?”
Billy pleaded, wanting to grasp Dr. Sang’s thigh, but Dr. Sang avoided him with a look of disgust. White Coat beside him elongated his neck, watching the scene intently.
Billy: “An insidious and psychotic mental ability user cut off my arm. Also, I’ve noticed that my abilities seem to have weakened. Dr. Sang, can you examine me and, if possible… reattach my arm? I know how much you value this surgery. Surely, you wouldn’t want to see such a perfect operation ruined by a low-level ability user?”
As soon as the words “mental ability user” were uttered, White Coat’s ears perked up, and he elongated hus neck even further.
Gossip! The scent of gossip was thick in the air.
If this mental ability user happened to be that young man, then there would be quite a spectacle to behold.
For some reason, Dr. Sang looked dazed as he entered the lab today. He only noticed when someone called him multiple times. Not only that, he even laughed foolishly at times.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Dr. Sang glanced at White Coat, and he immediately straightened his shoulders, turning around to simulate conducting an experiment, but his ears remained open.
Looking down at the disheveled Billy, Dr. Sang towered over him and commanded, “Raise your head and look at me.”
His voice wasn’t particularly loud, but to Billy’s ears, he felt an inexplicable tremor in his soul. He mechanically raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred meeting Dr. Sang’s gaze unwaveringly.
A fleeting brilliance flashed In Dr. Sang’s eyes, and instantly, Billy’s entire body tensed. It felt as if a dangerous gaze was scrutinizing him.
Two seconds later, Dr. Sang quickly averted his gaze as if staring for another second would dirty his own eyes, “Your surgery has already failed. Go.”
“What?” It took Billy several seconds to understand what he meant. He looked up at Dr. Sang in astonishment, “How could it have failed? Everything was fine yesterday, and I could still use Yuan’s power. How did it disappear today?”
Dr. Sang replied, “I warned you before that the absorption of the abilities takes time. I told you to rest properly. Did you listen? Not only did you lose an excellent power, but you also wasted my time.”
“Whit Coat, call the guards and hand him over to the military court.”
“Alright, Dr. Sang,” said White Coat.
‘I’ve said I don’t want to be called ‘White Coat’! I have a name!’
Billy was dumbfounded.
He only came to have his abilities examined and his wounds treated. How could he have imagined that Dr. Sang would send him straight to prison?!
What did he do wrong?!

In the live broadcast room
[Ding! Congratulations to player Bai Lixin for obtaining one Little Fan X1.]
[A great relief.]
[Billy’s frantic escape looks so pleasing.]
[Dr. Sang: Surprised or not? Unexpected or expected?]
[Hahaha, is White Coat really called White Coat? Or does Dr. Sang simply forget names?]
[Looking at White Coat’s expression, his real name shouldn’t be White Coat.]
[So what is his real name?]
[Hahaha, no idea.]
[White Coat: I don’t deserve it. You remember the name of the person you’re dating within only a day, but after working together for so many years, I get called “White Coat.”]
[Hahaha, that’s hilarious. Never thought that in the eyes of the big boss, White Coat is indeed just a white coat. But White Coat’s expression is exactly like me when I’m eating melons.]
[White Coat: A melon eating friend who walks on the front lines to eat melons, but doesn’t deserve to have a name.]
[It’s a pity that God Xin’s mental ability is spiritual; we can’t see it with the naked eye. If we could see it, he would look even more amazing.]
[Charm ability….I think God Xin’s ability could be very useful in some other matters too.]
[Please tell us more.]
[It can charm the cold-hearted big boss and make him do this and that, hehehe.]
[Indeed, money should be spent where it matters.]
[Isn’t this ability super cool? It’s a waste not to use it.]
[” There is a Book” and “Currently Drawing”]

After lunch, Bai Lixin was about to return to the dormitory to rest but was intercepted by White Coat. “Bai Lixin, Dr. Sang wants you to come down.”
Bai Lixin: “Didn’t Dr. Sang say there was something important today?”
White Coat: “There was, but now there isn’t.”
Bai Lixin: “?”
White Coat: “He was supposed to participate in a research on experimental results, but he sent the subject to prison today, so there’s nothing to do.”
White Coat looked quite handsome after taking off his mask. He winked at Bai Lixin mischievously and said, “You actually know that subject.”
“Could it be Billy?” Bai Lixin’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at White Coat in astonishment.
“Yes, it’s him. Surprised? Hurry up and come with me to find Dr. Sang, he wants to kill you.”
White Coat dutifully continued his gossiping side job, “Bai Lixin, tell me, what kind of love potion did you give Dr. Sang to make him infatuated? He was daydreaming the whole morning.”
Bai Lixin felt he was being spied on so he spoke earnestly, “You have misunderstood, Dr. White. Dr. Sang and I only have a doctor-patient relationship.”
“Between him and me, there is nothing else. His daydreaming may be due to deducing important experiments or contemplating significant problems, but definitely not because of me.”
“Well, I never expected both of you to be so tight-lipped,” White Coat pouted, then widened his eyes and looked at Bai Lixin. “Why do you call me Dr. White?! My last name isn’t White!”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Ah, this….
White Coat: “…”
Damn, they really deserve each other!
—————————-
Five minutes later, Dr. Sang looked at Bai Lixin seriously. “Get ready, I’ll take you out to search for the red crystal core zombies tomorrow.”
The young man blinked. “With who else?”
Dr. Sang: “No one else, just the two of us.”
The young man: “But didn’t you mention yesterday…”
Dr. Sang: “Things have changed.”
Just pretend I was talking nonsense yesterday.
