Chapter 1066 Little guy

The duel between Zijing and Fu Hua finally lasted until one o'clock in the afternoon. It was not because they were tired, but because Theresa was hungry.

Coming back to his senses from the ecstasy in the battle, the sword in Zijing's hand fell, as if it had been running around the earth for several days and nights. He felt like his soul was about to fly out, his limbs were weak, his back ached...all kinds of side effects appeared on his body.

The moment Zijing's sword fell to the ground, his body shook and he almost fell down. Theresa's voice broke the tense atmosphere of the battle and made Zijing realize the passage of time and the limits of his body.

Fu Hua quickly stepped forward and held Zijing steadily. "Take a deep breath and adjust slowly." Her voice was calm and powerful, guiding Zijing to recover his strength while exploring the condition of his body. Without finding the source of Honkai energy, the boy's strength returned to its normal level.

Zijing didn't feel that Fu Hua's perception had penetrated deep into his body. He was so tired that he didn't want to think about anything. He just subconsciously followed Fu Hua's instructions, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. His heartbeat gradually slowed down, and the trembling of his body slowly stopped. Although he was still tired, he felt a little recovered.

Cheng Lixue handed Zijing a towel, and he took it and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Thank you."

Zijing's voice was a little hoarse. He had never been so tired in his life.

Fu Hua let him go and asked Theresa to hold him, "Is the practical training this afternoon okay?"

"...It should be possible." Amethyst felt her strength slowly returning, just like a deflated balloon quickly filling up with air.

Fu Hua asked Theresa one more question, and after confirming that both of them were fine, they went to have dinner.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the group arrived at the other side of the island, the ranch where the Honkai beasts were kept.

Kallen told Theresa and Zijing some precautions to ensure that they would not fail during the training. On this island, there had been precedents of casualties among novice Valkyries who had come for actual combat before. Although Kallen had confidence in these two students, she still patiently gave them instructions.

"Lixue, you go with them too."

Fu Hua glanced at her disciples.

"Okay, Master."

Cheng Lixue walked to Theresa and Zijing. In front of them was a solid isolation wall and a series of complex mechanisms, which together formed the dividing line between the two sides of the island.

Zijing, Theresa, and Cheng Lixue stood on one side of the isolation wall, ready to enter the territory of the Honkai beast. Kallen once again emphasized the importance of safety measures and checked everyone's equipment to ensure that they carried the necessary weapons and communication equipment.

"Phew... I hope everything goes well for them."

Looking at the backs of the three people, Kallen was still a little nervous.

"Ah."

Fu Hua responded indifferently.

"Fu Hua, why don't you show some support? They are about to start a real battle!"

"Ms. Karen, you are too nervous. You should know that the Honkai beasts on the island can't do anything to them."

"You are too confident! We must always be prepared for unexpected events... How about we follow them secretly?"

"If you want to... there's no rule saying you can't."

"Okay, let's go!"

……

On the other side of the island, Zijing, Theresa and Cheng Lixue separated. This was necessary, otherwise there would be no tension when the three of them were together.

Zijing walked alone in this area, his footsteps were particularly clear on the rugged ground. He had a sword in his hand, which he didn't need to use, just to make sure he didn't come empty-handed.

He was walking through a dense forest when suddenly a low roar came from not far away.

Amethyst stopped immediately and became alert.

A huge white head poked out from the top of the tree and looked down at the bug-like Amethyst.

A tank-class Honkai beast...isn't it just that its development is a little too good?

Zijing had some doubts and took a step forward to join the battle, but found that the Honkai beast in front of him seemed to have no aggression towards him at all, and just stared at him quietly...if this guy had eyes.

"..."

Zijing lifted a huge rock beside him with one hand, weighed it, and then threw it out. The rock, with its strange force, smashed directly into the head of the Honkai Beast, creating a huge crack on its white shell, and the rock shattered to the ground.

I thought this would arouse the opponent's ferocity, but unexpectedly, the Honkai Beast simply shrank its body and ran away from Amethyst.

"...Isn't this wrong?"

Zijing was stunned. In his entire life, he had never seen a Honkai beast that would actively run away when facing humans. Aren’t there almost only destructive instincts left in these guys’ degenerate brains?

With doubts, Zijing continued to move forward and found another chariot-level Honkai beast. Similarly, it did not actively attack Zijing, and chose to flee when Zijing showed his intention to attack.

"..."

Even weirder.

Could it be that these Honkai beasts have been locked up for too long, causing their original bloodiness to be worn away?

Zijing didn't believe it, so he went to find a bunch of Honkai beasts. Without exception, none of them was willing to fight him, which made Zijing feel embarrassed. After all, in the previous few times, he was more like a villain who beat people without saying a word.

So when Zijing found a new Honkai beast again, he did not launch another attack, but slowly approached it. While remaining vigilant, he reached out and touched the other's body, which was as cold as a stone.

No response.

Amethyst actually thought about removing this guy's limbs and seeing how it would behave, but... it was too cruel.

Zijing twitched her lips. This actual combat was considered a waste. She should go find Theresa and Cheng Lixue. She didn't know what the situation was on their side.

On the way, Zijing encountered a tiny, mosquito-sized Advance-level Honkai beast. It flew around his head and even stopped on his shoulder to rest when it was tired. If you ignore the appearance of this guy, it's actually quite cute.

Amethyst stretched out his finger towards it, and the little guy actually landed on his fingertips obediently, facing him quietly.

It’s just right. I’ll bring a sample back and see how Fu Hua and Karen will explain this phenomenon.

Zijing walked for a long time but couldn't find Theresa and Cheng Lixue. He was almost at the edge of the island. All he saw were Honkai beasts, not a single gray or white hair.

Suddenly, the little Honkai beast on Zijing's shoulder flew up, circled around him a few times, and then flew in a certain direction.

Zijing hesitated for a moment and chose to follow. He found that the little guy seemed to be deliberately leading him over, and would even stop when he didn't catch up, hovering in the air and waiting.
