"Tsk, it’s all blood scent."
When Lu Ping’an returned, it was already the latter half of midnight.
He had barely approached when he caught the pungent smell of blood.
He furrowed his brows and quickened his pace....
"Damn it....."
He hadn’t expected that while he’d been wandering alone on the deck, drawing trouble to himself, someone would go after this little girl.
But when he really opened the door and saw that the little girl was still silently playing her game, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief..... He ignored the chunks of flesh and blood on the floor and rushed over to her.
"...You’re not hurt, are you?" There was an unusual tension in Lu Ping’an’s voice.
The little girl shook her head and looked up at Lu Ping’an... with longing eyes at his right hand.
"Don’t worry, I didn’t forget your cake."
Lu Ping’an stuffed the bag of sweets into her hands, watching her stuff her cheeks like a chipmunk, and he smiled.
He patted the little girl’s head to reassure her, then, taking a snake-skin bag, he tidied up a bit before heading back outside...
"...Just kill them all if they come close."
This time, the demons emerging from the shadows would completely seal off the room.
Now that it had come to this, Lu Ping’an saw no need to pretend anymore..... He realized he might have underestimated the malice in the world of professionals.
Whether they were attacking the little girl or trying to kidnap her to threaten him, some people’s moral lows were frighteningly deep.
After dealing with these issues, Lu Ping’an didn’t go back to his room to rest because he still had a lot to do.
Aside from sorting out some personnel relations and making some pre-match trades for tomorrow’s third round, he also needed to make some in-game preparations.
After all, in the world of Fighters and professionals, strength was what spoke loudest.
If you can fight, you’re the boss; if you can’t.... those who walk away dejected today or even get taken down are more than a few.
But for most people, strength requires accumulation over time, and a single night can’t change anything; better to rest up...
".....Stay on guard."
This time, it wasn’t Beasts that Lu Ping’an released, but the core members of his society.
He, on the other hand, vanished into the Courtyard.
In one night, he could easily Double his abilities if he utilized facilities like the Gym and the Taboo Library - God knows how many times tenfold.
And for him now, such time and space were already enough for a further qualitative change.
"The power of Chr-Style Hieroglyphic Boxing is impressive, can you make two more?"
The Two-headed Snake was a "Soul Binding" construct based on "Didirona" and "Ah Jiu."
Although it was his first time using it, the compatibility was surprisingly high.... and it integrated perfectly with Lu Ping’an’s Sun blood-sucking Magical Vine half-body.
Those Tentacles transformed directly into snake heads, biting the opponents with venom and a vicious Curse, creating a frightful scene... but in fact, they hadn’t even exhibited one-tenth of the Two-headed Snake’s true power.
Lu Ping’an was increasingly understanding the combat style and power system of professionals. Simple, isolated strength has its limits, whereas composite combat platforms and assembled Power often have a higher ceiling.
"...My opponent, should be making preparations against poison snakes overnight."
Lu Ping’an smiled wickedly. He probably had already figured out that his opponent tomorrow would bring a bunch of high-level Antidotes or something of the sort.
Today, he had picked up a great advantage... this wasn’t just about achieving an easy victory and making a name for himself; unlike others caught in tough battles, he naturally retained a huge informational upper hand.
Even, if they truly responded based on his past data and today’s display of "a multitude of snakes," it would only backfire on them tremendously.
"Fine, ’First Soul Binding Cat’ is also almost ready... but are you sure you want to use it? It might provoke certain people."
"Keep it as a trump card, you can’t be worrying about consequences when you’re nearly dead. Anyway, any thoughts on the Two-headed Snake?"
"...Gather more materials and perfect her as much as possible."
The Big Cat’s abilities, in principle, are somewhat similar to "Spiritualization," but the operation is entirely different, even the exact opposite.
Spiritualization or invoking spirits involves a spirit body descending into a new flesh, controlled by a stronger soul to achieve the effect of fighting remotely... In reality, they are still separate systems.
Whereas "Soul Binding" creates a "pseudo-spirit body" which then fuses with one’s own flesh to achieve a temporary "Soul and Body Unity."
This is clearly a "Transformation System" ability, so one must bring their own flesh and "pseudo-spirit body" closer together to achieve the most perfect unity of Soul and Body.
How to do it? Quite simple, just infuse materials into both the "flesh" and "spirit body."
"Do we still have materials from Didirona?"
"Some. They were meant for making magic potions, equipment, Enchantment Demon materials... Use all of it?"
"Use all of it... and bring out Didirona while you’re at it, to get some fresh materials."
It looks like a certain snake is in for it again.
After some thought, Lu Ping’an continued.
The Ghostly little snake appeared from nowhere, slightly surprised by the call.
But when she saw Lu Ping’an suddenly pull out a big pot... she turned and ran.
"Don’t worry, this time we’re just making some soup... uh, it’d be even better if you could spit out a bit more blood and bone."
Alright, her instinct to flee was correct, except she didn’t manage to escape.
In the end, Lu Ping’an collected two large vats of Magic Potion, while Didirona and Ah Jiu were left completely drained...
This time, Lu Ping’an still released the Magical Vine.
The magic potions, infused with "materials," were absorbed by the Vines, taken up, and became a part of their flesh and foliage.
Part of it was directly assimilated, permanently enhancing its "Hieroglyphic Boxing," while another portion was stored for use as an "external magic potion" during "boxing."
Using magic potions for transformation is a basic for professionals, but truly, very few might have understood what Lu Ping’an did during the day.
"...Too bad, I’m really short on Cat materials."
Having two high-level magical Snakes was the reason for the rapid progress of Lu Ping’an’s Two-headed Snake.
Yet, his first Soul Binding—a Cat—suffered from not having enough high-end Cat materials to reach the standard for a qualitative change... It’s not that he didn’t have any materials at all, but those he had were too conspicuous, and Lu Ping’an didn’t dare to use them much.
"By the way, can Eve provide some materials? She should also have a Beastification bloodline, right?"
"Heh, you can try..."
If Lu Ping’an was set on a suicide mission, the Big Cat certainly wouldn’t stop him.
On the other hand, Lu Ping’an, now stripped of his vest, would be much more troublesome for his opponents... Some special equipment, he had now unsealed.
"How is it?"
"Not bad."
𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The crimson gloves in Lu Ping’an’s hands emitted golden blaze, such glove-type equipment could be very useful in the Fighting arena.
The logistics department of the "Courtyard" went all out at this moment; after all, he was no longer alone.
And in this slightly long night, there was still plenty for Lu Ping’an to do.
