Everyone's eyes lit up, and before it was Lancer and the others' turn, Little Red Roll Rock had already jumped out, "Boss, I request a spar with Brother Li. Didn't get the chance last ti in Celestial Capital, now I surely won't miss it."
Everyone laughed. A substitute managed to jump to the Saint's Grace Canon Law School; can you even compare? It made him happy, and he's daring enough to gaze at Celestia. Who gave him this courage? His cousin could tolerate it, but they couldn't.
Simmons smiled, making no comnt, "Brother Li, interested in showing so moves?"
"Of course, let's spar a bit." Li Xin didn't think he had any overbearing aura—showing a bit of skill was beneficial for later friendly interactions, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
"Haha, doing it wholeheartedly isn't bad!" Rock stepped forward, flexing his arm, his mighty biceps trembling a bit.
"No weapons, just until it's clear." Simmons said, making everyone speechless. What's going on with the captain? Just a sparring match, what are you worried about? Afraid of injury, then why join any team?
Originally Rock was determined to give the other party a good beating, but hearing this, it seed unlikely. Yet making the opponent's sneaky eyes look like dark circles was still possible.
Others stepped aside; the last trip to Celestial Capital hadn't been satisfying. For the batch of Hex Demon-Sealing Spears, putting on a disgusting display, this ti they were determined to fight back heartily.
Swish, a burst of advance, Rock instantly appeared in front of Li Xin, a side kick aid directly at Li Xin's head. Li Xin moved forward in an instant, and with a boom, Rock was pushed back, staggered to stand firm, while Lancer and the others burst into laughter.
"Rock, what happened? What were you doing last night?"
"Co on, this isn't a performance anymore. You're addicted to being an actor, eh?"
"Could it be Rock got a girlfriend and didn't tell us?"
A group of teasing friends made Rock frantic, waving his hand, "Just now I was careless. Now it's the real deal!"
Taking a deep breath, rushing towards Li Xin again, this ti without big movents, but closely approaching. A knife-hand strike swept towards Li Xin's throat, Li Xin retreated, Rock followed up with a roundhouse kick borrowing from another roundhouse kick, all feints, maneuvering Li Xin's movent, and then a spinning sweep targeted at him. The move was quick and fierce, executed in one go, but Li Xin suddenly lifted a leg high, directly kicking Rock out in the middle of his move.
This ti nobody laughed anymore; the Hedan triple-spin kick was of considerable skill level, Rock's entire set of actions perford smoothly and swiftly. Generally speaking, soone managing to defend it counted as outstanding, yet this man not only precisely countered but did so with ease.
Half-kneeling to stabilize himself from the retreat, Rock's face beca gloomy. His recent strength surged, praises surrounded him, even Celestia viewed him differently. How could he lose face to an outsider?
His gaze turned sharp, instantly entering a pale color, Secret Eye open, spiritual ability fluctuating, arms spread out swiftly rushing towards Li Xin, quick weaving steps, hands like double blades constantly assassinating, bursts of energy slicing through Li Xin's hair. Li Xin could also feel the opponent's solid foundation, good at spiritual ability; suddenly Rock spun, hands forming spiral blades like the wind assassinating swiftly, at the sa ti, intangible blades extending half a ter slashed towards Li Xin, an unbearable heat swept over, Rock's whole being seed to burn, like a flaming blade whirlwind blitzing towards Li Xin.
Li Xin kept his distance; Rock imdiately pursued. Although spinning, the speed was fast, Li Xin retreated again, Rock spun again, one chasing, one fleeing. The crowd gradually got the sense of it, this was... too insidious.
Soon enough, without contact, Rock, who was continuously spinning at high speed and employing Secret Eye, couldn't take it anymore, everything spinning and twisting, he wanted to vomit, but in front of Celestia and his brothers, how could he lose face?
With a loud bang, Rock like a top suddenly lifted off the ground, like a fla tornado slicing towards Li Xin, but Li Xin had long predicted the trajectory, body swayed, sharply turned away, Rock crashed down straight into the ground.
Boom~~~
This was remarkably heavy, the whole base vibrated with it, spiritual ability dissipated, Rock still wobbled on the ground for a while before stopping.
Li Xin standing by, stopping at the right ti, if paired with suitable weapons, this man's combat power was not to be underestimated, just that his attack style was a bit too imaginative.
Could it be for heat dissipation?
Lancer and others sighed in regret; everyone's level wasn't weak, they could see Li Xin's adept skills and he showed restraint. Though knowing is one thing, swallowing this resentnt is another; Rock was their teammate, how could they let an outsider act arrogantly? Lancer just wanted to issue a challenge when Rock on the ground suddenly let out a strange low growl, then clutching his chest began rolling, making odd sounds from his mouth.
Everyone was surprised, "Rock, Rock, what's going on, stop acting." Lancer and the others imdiately went over, yet Rock suddenly sprung up, actually biting towards Lancer; Lancer hadn't anticipated it, but was imdiately pulled away by Li Xin who was inexplicably nearby.
Rock missed the bite and didn't continue attacking, but clutched his chest, crying out in agony, everyone angrily glared at Li Xin, "What did you do?"
Li Xin calmly glanced at Rock, shaking his head, "I don't know his situation, but you'd better call a doctor quickly or find the Church."
Rock on the ground tried to endure the pain, not wanting to lose face in front of his friends, but his chest suddenly began to bulge, pain directly shattering his willpower, a faint purple light shone through the chest, spiritual ability began to warp, the body twisted and swelled irregularly, fingers also enlarged.
Everyone present got pale, Simmons suddenly rembered sothing, "Celestia."
Before Simmons could finish, Celestia's fingers flashed with red light; as a spirit binder, spirit ointnt was a basic tool, rune arrays ford between her hands, directly binding Rock on the ground in a red light. Rock seed to regain a bit of sanity, terror in his eyes, yet unable to speak normal words as the heart area on his chest started protruding abruptly, as if sothing was going to burst out giving everyone a surprise.
Abyssal Worm?
Knowing the birth thod of Divine Relics, Li Xin knew this was absolutely not an isolated case; Divine Relics are rare and require matching, but Original Embryos don't, and their effects are quite good, demanding little from the carrier, with minimal side effects. Honestly, for most people, an Original Embryo might be more cost-effective than a Divine Relic.
Digressing, even as an outsider, he could perceive the value of Original Embryos, those seeking them surely weren't few, mastering the abyssal worm formation thod for Divine Relics couldn't be solely the Moon God Church.
If the will is strong enough and possessing worms processed by the Church, it sowhat resembles Original Embryo taste, though without experiencing it, such things might be akin to addiction-level pain.
"Simmons, you'd better figure sothing out, I'm almost unable to hold him!" Seredia said solemnly.
It seed like that thing was about to burst from the chest—just then, Simmons furrowed his brow and decisively punched to knock Rock unconscious, the protrusion in the chest slowly calming down, settling again. Simmons too was relieved.
Li Xin found it odd, if the body lost consciousness, wouldn't the worm break through more easily?
Simmons looked at Celestia, the two exchanged glances, faces not looking good, others were baffled, not knowing what transpired.
"Lancer, brothers, today's matter needs secrecy, rember, Celestia, run over and call Captain Travis." Simmons said.
Celestia hesitated, "Could there be trouble?"
Simmons shook his head, "There's already a loss of control, more will definitely occur later, this matter resolved through the Church, handling procedures better by getting Travis involved."
Lancer, Bucklera, Eisen, and others exchanged looks, for everyone knew the na of Travis, one of the Earth Mother Goddess Court's Funeral Attendants leaders, overseeing this area. Reflecting on the recent situation, Lancer couldn't help swallowing, "Boss, he couldn't possibly..."
Simmons shook his head, "Not what you're thinking, Brother Li, apologies for the laughter, the situation's a bit tricky, we'll all need to cooperate in an investigation shortly."
Li Xin nodded, "What's inside him if not a worm?"
If it were a worm, mutations would be irreversible, yet deep abyssal breath wasn't sensed just now, although the opponent had mutation signs.
"Brother Li's not an outsider, I'll be blunt, indeed not a worm, it's an Original Embryo, yet not a normal Original Embryo." Simmons lightly sighed, "Recently, Hedan's black market has had a near-Original Embryo-type Secret Treasure on sale."
