My stats are higher than yours!

"..."

Su Qingli sighed.

Thankfully, they didn't try to drag me into a fight; it would have been fine if it was just for treatment.

...

Gauss's Exclusive Training Room

Bai Shuodong sat in the rest area, holding a book called "Basic Introduction to Spells" in his hand, his brows furrowed as if he were forcibly trying to read a book from heaven.

Is this what you call a basic introduction?

I recognize every single word in the book, but why can't I understand them when they're put together? Are introductory books on legal fundamentals really this difficult to understand? Is there really such a big gap between me and a seasoned lawyer?

"Sigh!"

Bai Shuodong sighed deeply.

Before this, he had actually thought that with this level of environmental enhancement, he might also become a magic genius, quickly learn various skills in a short period of time, and dominate the world.

But in reality, it turns out that he doesn't seem to be cut out for magic. Being a sorcerer is too difficult, and the knowledge barrier is ridiculously high.

Fortunately, I'm a pragmatist. To hell with spell theory, what works is the best.

Anything I can't learn is garbage!

This is the mindset of the strong!

Whether strong or weak, poor or rich, in good times or bad, I will always believe in myself unconditionally. As long as I believe in myself unconditionally, then... I am strong, and my mindset is the mindset of a strong person.

"Boom boom boom!"

A knock came at the door.

coming!

Bai Shuodong smiled, put down his book, and opened the door.

"Crack!"

The door opened, but behind it stood not only the smiling Crimson Demon Orb, but also Su Qingli, whose face showed a hint of confusion and astonishment. At this moment, her eyes were subtly changing.

Xia Yanxin smiled and waved, then walked in casually, saying, "Wow, whose territory is this? The training facilities are so impressive!"

"Gauss's."

Bai Shuodong replied, his gaze turning to Su Qingli behind Xia Yanxin.

At this moment, Su Qingli was not in a good mood.

She had previously tried to get Gauss and Bai Shuodong to interact, but now that Bai Shuodong has arrived, Gauss is gone, and Bai Shuodong has even brought Xia Yanxin over, seemingly to start a fight.

What is all this nonsense?!

My heart is so tired!

Bai Shuodong's gaze swept over Su Qingli's slightly disheveled hair and slightly torn clothes. He frowned and asked, "What happened to you? Did that bastard bully you?"

Xia Yanxin immediately became anxious, grabbing his collar and shouting, "Hey! Who are you slandering!"

"No, we were just having a simple sparring session."

Su Qingli quickly followed up with an explanation.

Although she was grateful that Bai Shuodong spoke up for her and felt that she hadn't helped him for nothing, the current situation might be detrimental to team unity.

I'm moved to tears!

"You, a warrior, are bullying a support? And you're telling me this is a friendly spar? Huh?"

Bai Shuodong didn't hold back either, raising both hands and pinching Xia Yanxin's face. To be honest, it felt pretty good, and it was quite fun to pinch.

"She challenged me on her own initiative!"

Xia Yanxin slapped his hand away, her cheeks slightly red, baring her teeth and puffing out her cheeks as if she might bite him at any moment.

Then, she glanced at Su Qingli behind her and thought: Could this girl be a green tea b*tch deliberately trying to trick me? Why would a support class like her want to spar with me?

"It has nothing to do with the captain. I wanted to challenge her to hone my combat experience. The captain was very careful with her attacks; I didn't even have a single serious injury on me," Su Qingli quickly explained.

"Oh."

Bai Shuodong nodded slightly, then noticed that Xia Yanxin's clothes seemed a little disheveled, but he hadn't paid much attention to it before, after all, no matter how close brothers are, they are not as important as their mother.

On the other side, Xia Yanxin stared at him and noticed that this guy seemed to be paying a lot of attention to Su Qingli, so she narrowed her eyes and said, "Oh my, I didn't expect you to care about her so much. You don't have any special thoughts about her, do you? It's normal for a boy to be going through puberty, after all, she's a sweet and soft support type."

Su Qingli: (€€€€€€)

Please, please stop chasing and killing me!

"nonsense!"

Bai Shuodong immediately panicked. What do you mean I have those kinds of thoughts about her? Isn't this slander?!

Would I have those kinds of thoughts about her?

This is so insulting!

Humans cannot... or at least should not!

He thought for a moment, then said sarcastically, "But you, you're supposed to be a warrior, yet you're so focused on emotions. You've become useless, Xia Yanxin."

"What did you say?"

Xia Yanxin instantly bristled, her crimson spiritual energy surged, her crimson hair danced wildly, and her aura suddenly surged, like a wild beast ready to pounce at any moment.

Bai Shuodong turned and walked towards the training area, casually taking out a training spear from his storage space. Without turning his head, he said, "Come on, let me see your current strength!"

"A true strongman can sense his opponent's feelings, beliefs, and thoughts during battle. Let's communicate through combat!"

"Then let's fight!"

Xia Yanxin also took out two giant swords, her eyes burning with a fierce fighting spirit.

Su Qingli: (€€€€€€€€€€€)

I'm so tired....

How do I communicate with these people...?

Difficult!

Chapter 141 He Said He Had Enlightenment After Winning and Losing

Training area

Xia Yanxin lowered her center of gravity, assumed a fighting stance, her crimson spiritual energy surged, her crimson hair floated naturally in the air, and her sharp eyes were fixed on Bai Shuodong.

Once she entered battle mode, all her distracting thoughts vanished; this was Xia Yanxin.

"Whoo~"

Bai Shuodong gripped the middle of the spear with one hand, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground, while his other hand, clad in anti-magic gauntlets, rested in front of his chest, his body also radiating incredibly powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

The psionic energy naturally transformed into flames, activating the Ember Cloak. The dark red patterns gradually lit up, as if it were reviving from slumber.

Their eyes met in mid-air, without words or need for communication.

The change in gaze.

That is the signal for the start of the battle.

"Oh!"

Xia Yan was tempted. His feet stomped heavily on the ground as he charged forward. His smile grew increasingly ferocious as he swung his two giant swords with heavy wind pressure, aiming for Bai Shuodong's neck and lower body from above and below, respectively, like a vicious wolf tearing at him horizontally.

"when!"

Bai Shuodong moved slightly, his spear spinning and dancing, the shaft precisely wedging itself against the wolf's fang. A terrifying force surged through the training spear, giving him the illusion that the weapon was about to slip from his grasp.

Luckily, I used the "Slow Burst" strategy beforehand!

This woman's frontal pressure when wielding two greatswords is truly formidable, and her strength stats are incredibly high!

but...

[Solution]

Bai Shuodong suddenly brought his free hand together and pointed it straight at Xia Yanxin's chest.

The invisible slash erupted instantly, but Xia Yanxin had already lowered her waist to release the force, and a few strands of her red hair were cut off in mid-air. Even the red spiritual energy fluctuations were cut in half by the [Dispel] slash.

"You dodged it?!"

Bai Shuodong's expression changed drastically.

In an instant, every detail of the battle was rapidly replayed in his mind. This was the effect of the [Mind Acceleration] buff in the environment. Under normal circumstances, his thinking speed would never be able to do this.

Just now, Xia Yanxin didn't withdraw her power after I adopted an attack stance; she had already begun her attack the moment my hand gestures were about to change.

Was it predicted in advance?

What terrifying combat intuition!

However, she probably wouldn't be able to do this under normal circumstances, but the environment in the training room also works for her, so she can perform some actions in battle that she cannot do under normal circumstances.
