Chapter 123: Changes Abound and the Elimination Match Has Begun! (2/2)
When Bai Xiaofei saw the change in her, he foolishly giggled. There are times you can comfort someone without using consolation.
“Now this is the Xue Ying I know. In the future, you are not allowed to act like that for no reason. The change in your behavior scared me so much I thought you had your soul replaced!” In a moment of carelessness, Bai Xiaofei blurted something normal people wouldn’t understand.
Naturally, with how clever Xue Ying was, she realized something didn’t sound right. After an intense interrogation, Bai Xiaofei finally told her everything that had happened in his sea of consciousness.
After listening to him, Xue Ying sank into silence. A solemn look appeared on her face. “I’m warning you as well, Bai Xiaofei. In the future, do not push yourself beyond your limits in front of me. I am your teacher. The task of being a rearguard should fall to me! You may have been lucky this time, but what about next time?”
Despite being reprimanded by Xue Ying, Bai Xiaofei felt as if he had done nothing wrong. “Next time? Naturally, I will rely on my strength instead. Don’t you have any confidence in your favorite student? It won’t take me long to conquer a mere Grandmaster Rank like you.”
Right afterwards, Bai Xiaofei learned something new again: a loose tongue invites trouble…
After another round of beating, Bai Xiaofei surrendered, but the atmosphere within the room gradually turned weird. Since they no longer had any proper business to talk about, the two of them began to feel awkward.
“Uhm…that…” After trying his best, Bai Xiaofei was only able to squeeze these words from his mouth. Unfortunately, they were not enough to express his internal thoughts.
“Let me take you on a walk. You have been bedridden for so long, and it’s about time you take in some fresh air,” Xue Ying suggested. She seemed to have remembered something, and a smile crept onto her face.
Seeing her happiness, Bai Xiaofei took note of only one word. He inwardly muttered.
Walk… Instead of accompanying me, you are the one who wants me to accompany you on a walk, right?
Naturally, he had learned his lesson and thus didn’t say anything out loud. After all, what Xue Ying said made sense as well. He had never been someone who could obediently stay in bed for an extended period of time.
“Alright! Let’s go now, then!”
Bai Xiaofei immediately bounced up from the bed. The moment he stood up, the blanket fell off his body, revealing the fact that he was only wearing a pair of underpants. Xue Ying loudly swallowed her saliva. After staying in bed for eight days, Bai Xiaofei hadn’t grown weak as a normal person would. Rather, his entire body had become extremely well proportioned. The slightest exertion made his well-defined muscles stand out clearly. In addition, he seemed to have grown taller.
“Weird. Why do I feel lighter?” An expression of doubt surfaced on Bai Xiaofei’s face. He clenched his fist and sent a punch into the empty air before him. Once again, both Xue Ying and Bai Xiaofei were stunned. That single punch had exceeded even what a Martial Warrior like Wu Chi was capable of throwing. More importantly, Bai Xiaofei didn't even use his full strength!
“I…” After pulling his fist back, Bai Xiaofei fell into a daze. He found it hard to believe that that punch belonged to him.
“You said that the Nirvana Pearl exploded in your sea of consciousness, right?” Xue Ying reacted quickly and immediately connected the dots, and at her prompt, epiphany suddenly struck Bai Xiaofei.
Have I benefited from the disaster?
