“Uncle, don’t die!
I held back, I really didn’t expect you to be so fragile!” The culprit, Luciel, rushed to Zhao Kongcheng’s side, panicking and not knowing what to do.
It was clear the kid wanted to help, but he genuinely didn’t know how.
“I…
I damn it.” “Old Zhao!” The members of the squad who were watching the show earlier lost their previous composure.
After all, Zhao Kongcheng had been a Nightwatcher for so many years, and his training wasn’t for nothing.
Even if he slipped up, he would never have beaten Luciel into serious injury.
But the fact that Zhao Kongcheng was sent flying five meters showed that Luciel’s strength was not small.
Given that Luciel’s strength was high, how much force could a novice—who didn’t look like he knew how to fight—use in a single punch?
He probably couldn’t even tell himself.
Si Xiaonan hurriedly stepped forward and pried open Zhao Kongcheng’s eyes to check his pupils, breathing a sigh of relief only after confirming they hadn’t dilated from the punch.
Next, a layer of transparent, fine gauze covered Zhao Kongcheng’s wound.
This was Si Xiaonan’s Forbidden Domain, Unfated Gauze, which could isolate the body from external environmental influences and also heal injuries.
After confirming Zhao Kongcheng’s condition had stabilized, Si Xiaonan took out the first-aid kit that was meant for Luciel.
She didn’t move Zhao Kongcheng casually, instead performing a basic examination first.
“Thankfully, no broken bones, but there might be a fracture.
His internal organs are likely injured; it’s just hard to tell if any vital organs were affected.
Let’s send him to the hospital later.
With this kind of injury, conservatively speaking, let’s have Uncle Zhao lie down for two weeks.” Luciel paced back and forth anxiously, his face full of guilt.
“I’m sorry, I just wanted to test my strength…” Captain Chen Muye rubbed the back of his head and spoke up, “Stop blaming yourself.
The priority is to get Old Zhao to the hospital.
Luciel, you go too, and take good care of Old Zhao.” There was nothing to blame Luciel for; after all, whether it was this personality of Luciel or the previous one, it was said that this Luciel’s strength was not bad.
The sparring was proposed by Captain Chen Muye, and Zhao Kongcheng volunteered.
Among everyone present, only Si Xiaonan held an opposing view, but unfortunately, she couldn’t insist on it.
Luciel nodded vigorously and carefully helped the others lift Zhao Kongcheng into the car.
Upon reaching the hospital, the doctors quickly performed a comprehensive check on Zhao Kongcheng.
The good news: no broken bones, and no internal organs were damaged; just some internal bleeding.
The bad news: this match was going to cost Zhao Kongcheng half a month of ‘jail time.’ The hospital recommended he avoid heavy labor for half a year, preferably resting for three to four months to slowly recover.
Si Xiaonan’s Unfated Gauze could accelerate this process, but to ensure Zhao Kongcheng’s bones wouldn’t shift, it was still estimated to take half a month to fully recover.
Luciel ran around during this process, doing his best to make amends.
Seeing this, Zhao Kongcheng, who had initiated the spar and ended up in the hospital, felt a bit embarrassed.
After confirming Zhao Kongcheng was fine, the squad members returned to the Peace Agency.
Once everyone was sitting on the sofa, Hong Ying and Wen Qimo, who had been worried and busy the whole way, couldn’t help but laugh.
“Old Zhao, how did you manage to get yourself beaten into the hospital by a newbie?
Pfft, hahaha!” Hong Ying couldn’t hold it in first, laughing out loud while looking at Zhao Kongcheng, who was being pushed back in a wheelchair.
“It’s…
it’s because I, Old Zhao, was going easy on him!
I don’t bully kids!” “Pfft, hahaha!” It would have been better if he hadn’t explained.
Once he did, the other members who were still holding back couldn’t help it either.
Only Luciel, maintaining the personality of the Warrior, showed a look of sudden realization.
“So that’s how it is!
I was wondering why he couldn’t even take one punch.
It turns out he was going easy on me and didn’t use his full strength!” Zhao Kongcheng was so choked by Luciel’s words he almost couldn’t catch his breath.
He wanted to retort, but seeing Luciel’s moved expression, the words stuck in his throat, and after staring at each other for a long while, he couldn’t squeeze out a single word.
Captain Chen Muye was also amused and laughed as he stepped in to smooth things over: “Alright, alright, everyone, stop teasing Old Zhao.
This time, we’ve also gotten a glimpse of Luciel’s strength.” Luciel scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Subsequently, Luciel’s gaze turned to Captain Chen Muye.
Being stared at, Captain Chen Muye suddenly felt a sense of discomfort; his sixth sense told him trouble was coming.
And sure enough.
“Captain, Uncle Zhao can’t spar with me anymore.
Let’s continue the sparring!” Captain Chen Muye’s mouth twitched, and he inwardly cried out that it was a bad idea.
He wasn’t as careless as Zhao Kongcheng, having seen that Luciel’s strength was shockingly great.
But as the captain, he couldn’t refuse when a newcomer took the initiative to ask for a spar and guidance, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.
The squad arrived back at the training ground of the Peace Agency.
“Are we comparing combat techniques again this time?” Captain Chen Muye loosened his muscles and asked Luciel, who was on the other side of the field.
“Anything is fine, I just prefer combat where fists meet flesh!” “Then let’s do hand-to-hand combat.” Captain Chen Muye said, assuming a fighting stance.
Luciel rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes filled with anticipation.
As soon as the fight began, Luciel rushed forward like a ferocious tiger, swinging a heavy punch toward Captain Chen Muye.
Captain Chen Muye felt different to Luciel compared to Zhao Kongcheng.
Although Zhao Kongcheng felt like a tricky opponent, if Luciel were to lift the active restriction of using only one potion for one personality, the physical enhancement from 22 Sequence 9 potions alone would be enough for him to punch Zhao Kongcheng to death several times over.
Captain Chen Muye was different.
Even though the Captain also looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, with his actual River Realm cultivation plus the super high-risk Forbidden Domain, Black Impermanence, if Captain Chen Muye really went all out, even an average Sea Realm would fall by his hands.
Fortunately, this was just a spar; Captain Chen Muye didn’t intend to use any means other than physical fitness and martial arts.
Seeing the punch coming, Captain Chen Muye agilely dodged to the side while kicking at Luciel’s waist.
Luciel reacted quickly, blocking the kick with his arm, followed immediately by a straight punch.
Captain Chen Muye kept dodging, looking for flaws in Luciel’s form.
Having seen Zhao Kongcheng’s current miserable state, Captain Chen Muye had no intention of taking one of Luciel’s reckless punches.
Facts proved he was right.
Luciel was completely unleashed now.
With one punch, the ground beneath his fist groaned, concrete turned into chunks and flew out, and even the steel bars were exposed.
Those who had awakened Forbidden Domain like Clear Ears and Sharp Eyes, and the one using the Forbidden Item who was a sniper, all saw it clearly.
This kid didn’t look smart, but he was truly strong.
After a few rounds, neither side had gained an advantage.
Luciel’s state remained unchanged; even the speed of his punches didn’t diminish in the slightest.
Captain Chen Muye thought he couldn’t keep dragging this out.
He spotted an opening, flashed behind Luciel, and prepared to lock him down.
But Luciel suddenly turned around, grabbed Captain Chen Muye’s arms with both hands, and threw him with force.
Captain Chen Muye almost fell, but fortunately, he stabilized his body in the end, not letting the Captain’s dignity hit the ground.
Luciel spotted an opening and punched straight at Captain Chen Muye’s chest.
Captain Chen Muye, who had just stood firm, saw that he was about to be sent flying by a punch and hurriedly placed his right hand in front of his chest to block it.
Until he personally felt this power, Captain Chen Muye only wanted to say one thing to Zhao Kongcheng.
Old Zhao, how are you still alive?
That this level of power only required half a month of recovery when hitting an ordinary person who exercised year-round…
Luciel really hadn’t used his full strength!
Seeing Luciel about to pursue, Si Xiaonan, who was watching the battle closely, hurriedly shouted: “That’s enough, that’s enough!
Let’s stop here!” If the Captain ended up in the hospital because he was holding back, other Nightwatchers would pass this joke down for generations.
Captain Chen Muye retreated a distance with Luciel’s force, creating space between them.
He took the opportunity to stop, placed one hand behind his back, looking like a master, and said to Luciel with a smile: “You kid, your strength is not to be underestimated.
But it’s clear you have too little experience, and your usual training isn’t enough; there are too many unnecessary movements.
You need to train properly from now on.” Luciel grinned: “Understood, Captain.” The Warrior potion was completely digested.
After all, it was Sequence 9.
If Luciel’s current actions were converted, it was roughly equivalent to using his own martial prowess to defeat a Sequence 7 who hadn’t used their full strength.
With enough weight of audience members witnessing the glory of victory, the Warrior potion was digested very well.
Sure enough, he should have come to the Nightwatchers.
Who said the Nightwatchers weren’t good?
The Nightwatchers were amazing.
The Warrior potion fused completely with his body, replaced by the Pugilist potion.
His body became lighter, his physical stats were improved once again, and the combat techniques he had just practiced were connected with his instincts.
Luciel felt that now, in battle, he could subconsciously imagine how to block and counter when an opponent attacked.
More importantly, Luciel felt as if an extra layer of transparent protection had been added to his body.
This should be what the Pugilist potion brought—using the body to weaken the influence of certain supernatural forces.
In plain language, he now possessed a certain degree of magic immunity.
Zhan Realm’s external-type spell Forbidden Domain would face 30% ~ 40% immunity when hitting him.
Feeling this, the smile on Luciel’s face became even brighter, so bright that it made Captain Chen Muye feel a bit of a chill.
Amidst the expressions of others who were trying not to laugh, Si Xiaonan quietly walked behind Captain Chen Muye and applied a piece of Unfated Gauze to the hand he was hiding behind his back.
In the glance they exchanged, neither of them spoke.
“Great, someone responded to them!” Luciel suddenly said.
“Responded?
Who responded?” Luciel’s sudden, out-of-the-blue sentence left Captain Chen Muye completely confused.
Before he could ask anything, he saw Luciel close his eyes.
The next second, an indescribable change appeared on Luciel.
His facial features and hair didn’t change significantly, but everyone present’s senses were telling them: How beautiful.
It wasn’t from the handsomeness of his looks, nor from the beauty of the soul after getting to know each other; it was a barbaric, direct answer: How beautiful.
Beauty was the authority belonging to the Moon.
Luciel, who had long fused with the Mother Nest, should have been constantly exuding this feeling of beauty, as this was a transformation of the exterior.
However, the constant balancing between several Sefirahs meant that no single Sefirah could take the lead, and the authority of Beauty could not penetrate too much into the transformation of the body.
“Yawn, disturbing my sleep in broad daylight, don’t you know this is time for rest?” Luciel scanned the surroundings helplessly while yawning sleepily.
“Gulp.” Same face, just moments ago they were fighting and fooling around.
Hong Ying swore that she had no extra thoughts when watching Captain Chen Muye and Luciel spar; she was just purely watching the fun.
But now, Hong Ying could also swear that after seeing many different faces, beautiful or ugly, she was shocked by Luciel’s current charm.
Various thoughts surged in her heart, and just as she was about to fantasize about the two of them kissing, a chill suddenly appeared.
The personality Luciel displayed at the beginning left a deep impression on her—that indulgent and depraved personality, a guy who looked completely unscrupulous at first glance.
Once she associated that such a personality existed within Luciel, the content of her fantasy turned into that personality laughing mockingly before kissing, then looking down from above, his mouth full of mocking words, and looking very punchable.
The others were in a similar state, all quickly exiting from the shock of beauty, while having a strange expression of “How could such a thing be in my brain.” It was also thanks to Luciel not borrowing too much power from the Mother Nest; otherwise, they wouldn’t just become simps, but it would probably take some time to wake up from their own fantasies.
The Sequence 1 of the Moon Pathway was the Beauty Goddess.
That Pathway could make even gods with tough minds soften their hearts with just beauty.
Its beauty was undoubtedly the first, besides the Mother Goddess of Depravity who possessed the complete Sefirah.
“…
You all have expressions like you’ve eaten a fly; who are you being disgusted by?” Luciel rolled his eyes and walked to Si Xiaonan’s side, without any intention of greeting, and took out various medicines Si Xiaonan had placed in the medical kit.
The Apothecary Sequence was extremely adept at making medicine, but usually, it involved using raw materials and going through a physical process to create mystical potions.
After arriving in this world, it seemed to have a certain degree of linkage with the rules.
Perhaps because the era had reached the modern age, using those already finished medicines could also become mystical potions with better effects in the hands of an Apothecary.
Si Xiaonan just watched as Luciel took a few kinds of pills and threw them into an empty container.
Then, with a flash of light, the pills turned into a potion.
It shocked Si Xiaonan for the whole year; physics didn’t exist, and chemistry didn’t exist!
A normal Apothecary would still need many tools or rituals to make potions bit by bit, but to better weld the identity and impression of an Apothecary into their heads, Luciel chose to borrow the pharmaceutical ability of a higher Sequence.
High Sequences already had the ability to create things at will.
A small amount of ability placed in a low Sequence was very miraculous.
With Beyonder characteristics and Sefirah, it was not difficult to reveal a small, shocking miracle.
This was also why the authority of Beauty would penetrate some into this body, and this also sounded an alarm for Luciel.
If he really forcibly used a high Sequence that was completely inconsistent with his current one, the authority and pollution leaking from the Sefirah would completely turn him into a mobile radiation source.
According to the symbolism of different Sefirahs, Luciel had already imagined the scene of the land he walked on becoming activated and turning into a giant beast, following behind him and calling him ‘Mom.’ Or, just sitting there, the rules around him would become messy.
Anyone who drank a sip of water would be sentenced to hanging by the rules set by the Nation of Disorder and then hanged in front of him.
Or, under the pollution of the two Pathways of the Chaos Sea, they would directly lie at his feet and shout ‘Long live the Sun,’ then explode into a rose of flesh and blood just to let him hear a sound.
Perhaps every rose petal would have a mouth continuing to praise the Sun and the fallen, no, it should be praising the omniscient and omnipotent God Almighty.
Just thinking about it was scary.
It seems it’s better not to use power unnecessarily.
Luciel made up his mind.
