St. Freya Academy, Ling Feng's dormitory.
Ling Feng, Zhen, and Tu Shan Hong Hong teamed up and quickly tidied up a bedroom.
The bedroom wasn't large, only about ten square meters, equipped with a computer, a dressing table, and everything else.
"It's like a room, but the style is quite different from my world."
Tu Shan Hong Hong sat on the soft, large bed, glancing around the bedroom.
Compared to her boudoir, the styles of the two worlds were distinctly different.
"If you want an ancient style, we have that too, but it will take a few days to change the furniture."
Ling Feng said.
Tu Shan Hong Hong shook her head.
"No, when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
She disliked bothering others, as it would incur a debt of gratitude.
Money was easy to repay, but favors were hard to return.
If she wasn't used to it, she would just adapt slowly.
"The room is also tidied up. If we don't eat soon, the food will get cold."
Zhen reminded them.
A moment later, the three of them sat at the dining table and began to eat.
"Here, Miss Hong Hong, try the beef I made. Ling Ke loves it."
Zhen, with a smile, placed a piece of fragrant beef into Tu Shan Hong Hong's bowl.
"I can do it myself."
"Miss Hong Hong, try this too, this is made with..."
The dining customs were familiar to Tu Shan Hong Hong, but Zhen's enthusiasm caught her off guard, and she felt a little overwhelmed.
He forgot, Tu Shan Hong Hong was settled, but Zhen seemed not to be yet... Ling Feng pretended not to notice and quietly ate his meal.
"Buzz!"
"The footprints of two people have never faded away~"
"Unwilling to stay in the same place, they decided to walk hand in hand~"
"..."
Suddenly, his phone rang, immediately drawing the attention of the two women.
Tu Shan Hong Hong was puzzled about where the sound was coming from, finding it quite pleasant, and it seemed to originate from Ling Feng.
"Sorry, I need to take a call."
Ling Feng took out his phone from his pocket, looked at it, and saw it was Sagiri calling. He pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
A sweet, soft voice came from the phone.
Huh? Isn't this Sagiri's voice? How is it coming out of this metal box? Is Sagiri in this metal box?
Tu Shan Hong Hong looked at the phone with a confused expression, her eyes full of doubt.
"This thing is called a mobile phone, a product of technology, similar to a sound transmission over a thousand miles."
Ling Feng noticed Tu Shan Hong Hong's gaze and explained it in simple terms.
Ancient people would inevitably feel curious when encountering technological products.
However, mobile phones were far inferior to sound transmission over a thousand miles. Cultivators could easily create special fields to jam mobile phone signals or cause interference.
A simpler method would be to use true qi to shield or disrupt the signals.
This was, of course, assuming the cultivator knew about it or had a slightly higher level of strength.
"I understand."
With this explanation, Tu Shan Hong Hong immediately understood.
"Sagiri, what's wrong?"
Ling Feng didn't get up. If Tu Shan Hong Hong wanted to listen, he was miles away, and with Tu Shan Hong Hong's hearing, she could hear perfectly clearly.
Unless he deliberately isolated them.
"Are you free? Come to the training room for a special training session with me."
"And me! I want special training too."
Ling Feng looked up at Tu Shan Hong Hong and Zhen.
Tu Shan Hong Hong raised an eyebrow.
"What are you looking at me for? Do whatever you want."
After saying that, Tu Shan Hong Hong picked up a mouthful of rice and ate it.
"Go ahead and don't worry, I'll take good care of Miss Hong Hong here."
Zhen's beautiful eyes curved into crescents, and she said softly with a smile.
Tu Shan Hong Hong's body trembled imperceptibly, and then she continued to eat calmly.
However, she felt a little regretful about what she had just said.
Ling Feng thought.
It was precisely because he was worried about the two of them!
But Zhen had already adapted to life in this world, so there shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?
"Alright then, I'll see you in the training room later."
"Ling Feng, come to my exclusive training room."
Theresa's sweet voice came from the phone.
"Okay."
Beep—
After hanging up, Ling Feng finished his meal at an extremely fast pace and put the dishes into the sink.
"Be careful at home. If you have any problems, transmit a message to me or call me."
Ling Feng changed his shoes and said as he stood at the door.
Zhen and Tu Shan Hong Hong nodded, indicating they understood.
With the sounds of "click" and "bang" as the door opened and closed, Ling Feng slowly walked out of the dormitory.
Before leaving, he still looked back at the window of his dormitory with a worried expression. A faint light shone from the windowsill.
"I hope the two of them can get along well."
Ling Feng turned around and headed towards Theresa's exclusive training room.
...
An hour later, Theresa's exclusive training room.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
More than a dozen bullets shot out from the barrels of the guns, their powerful kinetic energy propelling the bullets to tear through the air towards Ling Feng.
The bullets' speed surpassed the speed of sound, but in Ling Feng's eyes, they were as slow as turtles. He easily dodged them with a slight sidestep.
"He ya!"
Kiana delivered a roundhouse kick with great force, but Ling Feng caught it with his hand, his expressionless face impassive.
Kiana spun her body, her long leg sweeping towards Ling Feng's head.
However, it was caught by Ling Feng with his other hand.
With both legs held, Kiana dangled in mid-air, swaying.
"Damn it!"
Kiana clenched her fists and rained blows on Ling Feng's abdomen with an "Ora ora ora."
After a while, Kiana noticed that the hands holding her legs hadn't loosened and looked up in confusion, glancing at Ling Feng's expression.
She saw him raising an eyebrow at her, as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"
Ling Feng's physique was such that even a barrage of missiles couldn't break through his defenses, let alone a punch.
"I give up, let me down quickly.
٩(๑`^´๑)۶"
Kiana struggled like a salted fish, flopping around.
Just then, Ling Feng's eyes narrowed, he released one of Kiana's legs, and with two fingers together, he caught the tip of a long sword.
Ling Feng looked at Sagiri, who was attempting a surprise attack with the sword, and smiled.
"Sagiri, surprise attacks are not good."
A good opportunity... Kiana's eyes lit up. She pulled out a handgun from somewhere and was about to fire.
"Bang!"
Unexpectedly, as if Ling Feng could predict the future, he twisted his waist, and the bullet grazed his armor.
"Alright! Stop! Let's take a break!"
Just as Sagiri and Kiana were about to continue, Theresa suddenly called out to stop.
Sagiri immediately ceased her movements, and Ling Feng released Kiana's leg.
Kiana's head slammed onto the floor.
"Ah! My head! Ling Feng, you did that on purpose."
Kiana cried out, clutching her head, looking pitiful.
Seeing Kiana's teary eyes, Ling Feng squatted down, gently stroked Kiana's head with a soft gaze.
"Sorry."
"A bucket of KFC family meal!"
Kiana's demeanor changed instantly. She knelt on the ground, pouted, and held up one finger seriously.
"..."
Ling Feng's mouth twitched as if, and a black line appeared on his forehead.
However, he still agreed to Kiana's request.
"Okay."
"Yay!"
As soon as there was food, Kiana was "fully revived."
I suspect you just wanted to con me out of a family meal... Ling Feng muttered to himself, then suddenly noticed Sagiri standing aside, sighing with a dejected expression.
Ling Feng walked up to Sagiri, hugged her, gently stroked her head, and spoke in a soft, tender voice.
"Sagiri, what's wrong? Are you upset?"
Sagiri looked troubled and whispered dejectedly.
"I suddenly realized how useless I am."
"Just like in SAO, I can't truly help you."
"I want to become stronger."
In SAO, although she could gather the courage to fight monsters, in real battles, she was still a burden to Ling Feng.
She could only help Ling Feng with logistics.
"Actually, not everyone is good at fighting. Your strength is already quite good."
"If you want to become stronger, you shouldn't learn my fighting style and engage in direct confrontations."
"You should be an assassin, specializing in techniques that mask your aura and focus on assassination."
"This also suits your abilities with Mistveil. Your fighting style should be like an assassin."
Ling Feng whispered into Sagiri's ear.
"I understand."
Sagiri suddenly realized.
"What are you two doing? Theresa prepared bitter gourd juice for us, want some?"
Kiana sat on the resting bench in the training room, holding a cup of bitter gourd juice.
Theresa stood beside her, holding a whole bottle of bitter gourd juice. Her short stature made her as tall as Kiana when she was sitting.
I don't know why Theresa likes bitter gourd juice... Ling Feng grumbled internally.
After a short rest, Kiana was filled with fighting spirit again, feeling indignant and wanting revenge, challenging Ling Feng with full determination.
"Ling Feng, let's go again."
Ling Feng shook his head.
"There's a huge gap in our strength. While sparring with a strong opponent can make you stronger, it's not very effective for you."
"Right now, what can maximize your strength is fighting opponents who are not too different in strength from you, to hone yourself."
Kiana immediately became indignant, puffing out her cheeks like a pufferfish.
"I am very powerful! I was just letting you win earlier."
"Indeed, Kiana's strength is far inferior to Ling Feng's."
Theresa nodded in agreement. Kiana's face lit up at the first part, but her expression changed upon hearing the second part.
*Puchi!*
An "invisible" sharp sword pierced Kiana's chest, a critical hit!
"Alright, I have an idea! I almost forgot that this training room can read your brainwaves and search for strong enemies from your memories."
Theresa said as she operated the console.
"Then, using fragments of your memories and Hyperion's technology, we'll simulate fighting that opponent."
She then pressed the start button.
"Are you ready? Your enemy is... Huh? Wait, what's going on? The system is malfunctioning?"
Theresa looked at the figure that appeared opposite Kiana in the center of the arena with a look of panic.
Upon seeing the figure before her, Kiana gasped, her pupils widening, and tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes.
"Stupid Dad! / Siegfried!"
Ling Feng looked at the person who appeared on the stage and smiled slightly, then looked up in a certain direction.
"It's almost midnight, and we have 'guests' visiting."
...
Valkyrie Dormitory.
Mei and Bronya were playing Honkai Gakuen Adventure when there was a sudden knock on the door.
Mei put down the game controller and got up to open the door.
Upon opening the door, she saw a strange man in a hood standing at the entrance.
"Excuse me for the late-night disturbance. I am the newly appointed secretary to Principal Theresa."
"Principal Theresa requests Miss Mei to come to her office."
Bronya looked at the man whose face was hidden by his hood and immediately became vigilant.
"Bronya wants to go too."
"Oh dear... this is difficult. Principal Theresa only summoned Miss Mei."
The hooded man said apologetically.
The hooded man's words made Bronya even more vigilant. She frowned and said.
"Then let Bronya call the Principal to inquire."
"Tsk... what an annoying brat."
The hooded man was displeased. He suddenly reached out with both hands and grabbed Mei. Sparks of electricity flashed, and Mei was electrocuted into temporary unconsciousness.
The hooded man held Mei with one arm and raised the other. Black energy appeared around him, and energy gathered in his palm, forming a black sphere.
Bronya also immediately summoned her Herrscher Mode, aiming her cannon at the hooded man and charging her heavy particle cannon!
First strike!
Under the bombardment of artillery, the dormitory wall was blown through, and half of the dormitory was reduced to ruins.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Bronya's face was grim. The hooded man was unharmed, with a translucent energy shield surrounding him.
"How is that possible? To withstand the attack of Herrscher Mode at such close range?!"
*Bang!*
Just then, a special blue bullet shot out from the ruins. With a "clang," it hit the hooded man's protective shield.
The special bullet spun rapidly, its powerful kinetic energy causing ripples in the air, creating sparks.
*Clang!*
The special bullet fell to the ground, its kinetic energy depleted without breaking through the protective shield.
"A petty trick. Although I'd like to play with you more, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry."
The hooded man lifted his hood, his face filled with a playful sneer. He raised his hand and squeezed.
Bronya's Herrscher Mode was crushed into dust by an invisible force.
"Let me see who that little mouse who sneaked an attack was."
*Boom!*
A beam of scorching laser shot out from the smoke and dust.
Under the bombardment of the explosive laser, the protective shield rippled, and cracks began to appear.
"So troublesome! But this much power isn't enough to break my shield!"
Indeed, as the explosive laser faded, it only left spiderweb-like cracks on the protective shield.
The man raised his hand.
Future was pulled out from the smoke and dust. The one who had ambushed him was Future, who had been woken from her sleep.
*Hooosh!*
Just as the man was gloating, Fu Hua, in her pajama form, came to support him and shattered the man's shield with a single punch.
"I—Damn—"
The man's face was deformed by the punch, and he was sent flying with a bang.
