Newborn Town was the name Lu Ping’an chose, but now, in the eyes of many people, or rather, "Newborn Forest" is more readily identifiable.
Three months’ time, this place, like any other wilderness town with nothing special, has completely turned into a city amongst the forest... Although the trees here are all weird and entering them one can feel the full brimming malice, it has still become a tourist attraction of this world.
After all, other regions are truly not fit for human residence...
".....Are you that free? Coming here for a vacation? Mr. Quasi-God."
"Hehe, isn’t this to keep you safe? Heard you’ve been hit by six assassins in a row." This senior is very down-to-earth, arriving and immediately adopting a joyous vacation pose.
But since this existence has come to Lu Ping’an’s territory, he naturally had to host a bit.
Since the other party had asked about the assassins, there was no reason to hide it, and Lu really wanted to complain about the overly dangerous working environment, demanding some extra points as compensation.
It’s just that, recalling those "assassins," he was too embarrassed to exaggerate...
"Even if ten more came... it wouldn’t matter. They all belong to different races, their malice written on their faces, each one walking with earthquakes in their steps, still playing at stealth, even a fool can tell something’s off."
Lu Ping’an said irritatedly, while casually passing a bottle of vegetable and fruit juice to the "Your Excellency" across from him, who happily accepted and thanked him repeatedly.
At this moment, however, His Excellency was clad in a bikini swimsuit, wearing sunglasses, enjoying the "sunlight," while reading comics... She looked more like a female imp than a tough character known for decades, if not centuries.
"Don’t underestimate her, she’s very strong. Even among Quasi-Gods, she is one of the strongest..."
Seemingly, she was an acquaintance of Big Cat, but Lu Ping’an looking at this red-skinned, horned "young girl," really couldn’t tell.
"Stronger than you?"
Well, the silence from across told everything; if the "Red Demon King" Tridana (shortened from a 26-letter transliteration)... her Chinese name being Trina really was weaker than Big Cat, even by a small margin, Big Cat would have jumped out by now.
According to Lu Ping’an’s understanding of "Big Cat knowledge," the hierarchy between the two should be clear. Big Cat, quietly shutting up, was very likely because of a past beatdown.
"No!! She was my... she taught me fighting for a time."
Uh, turns out you really know people everywhere.
But thinking about it, to be mingling in the same power circles at the Quasi-God level, it’s normal to have some lesser or greater relationships, especially since both parties are clearly among the rare Exotic Races Quasi-Gods from Earth.
"By the way, you can call me Nana, or you can call me Granny."
With just that one sentence, this "little imp" with sharp teeth, who seemed no older than twelve, got Lu Ping’an a bit taken aback.
He considered for a moment, before figuring out the other’s temperament better, it’s safer not to accidentally offend a Quasi-God...
"You seem to have some misunderstanding, I’m not Chris... the disciple of the Disaster Beast. You might indeed have taught her, but you’re not the elder of my elder’s elders..."
Hearing this, the imp’s feet playfully clapped together, with dimples revealing in a cheerful laugh.
"She told you? It seems the rumors are true? Then it’s correct, before, Little Kleris also called me Granny, not only did I teach her, but also her mentor, and her mentor’s mentor, oh."
Lu Ping’an fell silent, and so did Big Cat... this was tantamount to an admission.
"This doesn’t mean you are..."
"Bang bang bang."
The imp made a displeased sound, her fingers miming a Spear Man shooting randomly.
"Your body temperature changed, you got nervous, I really didn’t expect it, such a simple child like Little Kleris, and you still got her, you should also call me Granny with her..."
Me? Nervous? Admitted?
Lu Ping’an fell silent, looking at the ’little imp’ who somehow had leapt onto his head, feeling inexplicably irritated.
"You’ll get hit acting like this..."
"Stop, stop! She just likes to provoke others like this, then looks for someone to duel!!"
Big Cat hastily warned, but it was already too late.
The world suddenly transformed, and at the next moment, a vast Colosseum appeared right there.
As soon as Lu Ping’an showed his intention for "fighting," "dueling," he was dragged into the other’s Duel world.
"Relax, you can’t die here, at least not before I set up the rules for a True Death fight... First, die about ten times, let’s see, let me see whether you, this little chap, really match up to Little Kleris."
Lu Ping’an still wanted to explain, but a tremendous force had already gripped his throat.
"The first time..."
Familiar "arena", and an even more familiar beating, Lu Ping’an couldn’t help but recall his sparring sessions with Big Cat.
But this time, beneath the suddenly inflated ghostly claw, the scarlet ghostly eyes put on him several times the pressure from the beginning.
"Chris... you really can’t beat it."
A dozen minutes later, the "Domain" vanished without a trace.
The brat was still lounging on the beach chair, drinking beverages and reading comics, but this time, the seemingly uninjured Lu Ping’an was mentally exhausted and let out a sigh.
"It’s pricey, a new body."
After Lu Ping’an carelessly revealed his Undying-nature, the other party also pleasantly engaged in several real fights, and as the currently present Trina said, it was over "very quickly".
"...Haha, it’s cheaper than an actual life, though. You should feel it’s quite a bargain."
"Indeed." He pondered for a moment, gaining combat experience without facing True Death is indeed a bargain.
Lu Ping’an wasn’t pretentious, took a bottle of beverage, sat down directly and thanked the other party for her instruction.
And this... caught her off guard a little...
"Are you really Little Kleris’s lover? How come you’re not at all like her, not stubborn at all..."
"....Sister Na."
Finally, Big Cat, who had always been avoiding her, couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up... if she didn’t intervene now, who knows what else the other party would come up with.
And then, Chris was directly caught up and went through a face squashing ordeal.
Seeing her come out, does it seem like they get along well?
However, this had already been confirmed by Lu Ping’an before... the prototype of "Hieroglyphic Boxing" was clearly performed better by this War Ghost than by Big Cat.
Big Cat was already the strongest Fighter Lu Ping’an had ever seen, but in an actual fight... probably still not as "pure" as this opponent.
That kind of all-around strength, perfect physical control, was something Lu Ping’an simply could not comprehend.
Through his Eye of Truth, he saw a pure physique, solely corporeal... unanalyzable, impenetrable, no Divine Kingdom to observe, no Half Plane in sight. It was perfectly compressed into a War Ghost’s body, and everything until now was truly just child’s play.
"Did Senior Gan Qianyun ask for your assistance?"
"Don’t call me ’Your Excellency’; it makes me feel old... No, I am a free agent; I just heard that there was a fight here, so I came. Of course, they did pay me a sum of money."
Domineering longstanding Quasi-Gods didn’t necessarily have to affiliate with the Proper Gods... In fact, for them, becoming subordinates to their juniors was a bit embarrassing.
Most of them have a cooperative relationship with Proper Gods... If they really fought head-on, their connections along with individual power and wealth, may not necessarily be weaker than the widely known Proper God Church.
"Then I’ll call you Sister along with Little Kleris. Sister Trina."
"Just like my friend, call me Sister Na."
𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Lu Ping’an was silent for a moment, then cheerfully called out Sister Na, even though he knew the being before him was at least ten times his senior.
Apparently, she’s a "friend" of Domineering Three Faces, the God of Martial Fight... Yes, a personal friend of a Deity, not a friend of the Church.
Now, she came along with other high-level combat powers to help bolster the ranks.
"The frontline? It’s in bad shape, the other side just can’t be killed or finished off; you take some ground, and before long, you have to give it up, fighting back and forth without any sense to it, so I decided to take a vacation."
For such an entity, Lu Ping’an naturally would not refuse, but he wouldn’t miss this opportunity either.
"Sister Na, if you have some time, could you give me some pointers? I will pay for it... Uh, Chris, why are you blinking so much, didn’t you sleep well yesterday?"
"Idiot! I’m trying to stop you from courting death!"
But now, it seems to be too late.
Everything blurred before Lu Ping’an’s eyes, and he was thrown back into the Domain of the duel field.
And this time, the opponent laughed even more joyously.
