All Heavens: Starting with the Predator, I'm No Longer Human

Chapter 46 Next Time is Definitely

Chu Cige opened his eyes and saw the familiar glass dome, knowing he was back in the medical room. The warmth emanating from his body told him that the bruises from the beating had healed, but his mind was still a little foggy.

His consciousness was still stuck on the repeated falls and getting back up to punch the bone spurs.

He didn't remember how many times he had been knocked down, or why he had gotten back up again and again. His body and mind told him that he couldn't just give up so easily.

"Fortunately, the medical skills of the Ironblood are powerful. This kind of minor injury was almost completely healed after a good night's sleep." Chu Cige secretly rejoiced.

If he hadn't experienced this treatment method before, he might not have been so aggressive. After all, it was just a competition, and losing was losing.

Bone Spur is the elder's right-hand man, having become an elite iron-blooded warrior at a young age. He is experienced in many aspects, something that he cannot catch up with in a short time.

How long has he been here? Surpassing the bone spurs is only a matter of time.

"System!" Chu Cige silently chanted in his heart.

Before he completely lost consciousness yesterday, a system notification sounded in his mind, but his consciousness had already fallen into darkness, so he naturally didn't have time to check it.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for accepting Instructor Bone Spike's invitation to a combat match after the commendation ceremony. Although the host did not perform well in the battle and was easily suppressed by Bone Spike, the host's indomitable spirit and will are commendable.]

[Reward: Proficiency +3%, Total Proficiency 45%]

[Reward: Host's mastery of combat skills]

"Another direct reward..."

As the rewards were distributed, images of my battle with Bone Spurs kept flashing through my mind, as if I had experienced it firsthand. Various fighting techniques and combat experiences came one after another, and the muscles in every part of my body were also surging, receiving the system's infusion.

He remembered that the last time the system gave a direct reward without any options was a full-area nano armor.

After the fighting techniques were fully instilled, Chu Cige finally understood how they differed from the combat techniques in the beginner's gift pack.

The combat skills of the Ironblood Clan are a derivative of hunting, combining various weapons and high technology specifically designed to kill prey.

And being proficient in combat is exactly what it sounds like.

Although they are similar, they are two different things. If he had possessed this skill before, although he wouldn't have been able to defeat Bone Spur, he wouldn't have needed to risk his life and exchange injuries like before.

In fact, Chu Cige's physical stats are very close to those of an elite Ironblood, but his strength, awareness, and experience are no match for Bone Spur, which is why there is such a gap.

Now that I have mastered combat skills, I am fully confident in dealing with them.

"Not bad, their combat power has increased quite a bit."

He was quite satisfied with the reward. With this mastery of fighting skills, he could improve his spear skills, which was a win-win situation.

"Chu...you're awake?"

Outside the medical pod, Reina's concerned voice could be heard. She had been waiting in the medical room ever since she received the news yesterday...

"How can you be so careless? Can't you take care of your body? Why are you pushing yourself so hard? It's not a life-or-death battle..."

"What am I supposed to do if something happens to you?"

After hearing the news yesterday, she rushed over without stopping. When she saw Chu Cige lying unconscious in the medical pod, her heart jumped into her throat.

Weren't we going to an awards ceremony? How did it turn out like this?

Anxious, Reina first observed his physical condition and only felt relieved after confirming that it was just physical injury and overwork.

After inquiring about the matter from various sources, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards what Chu Ci Ge had done.

If a mere sparring match has left him in this state, what would he do if he encountered powerful prey? Wouldn't he just recklessly charge in without regard for his own safety?

"Forehead……"

Chu Cige was quite troubled; how come he hadn't thought of this hurdle!

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that he was speechless, Reina said angrily, "You need to know that you are not just yourself now, you also have me as your partner. You need to take good care of your body and not overexert yourself."

"That Bone Spur Instructor is really something. We agreed to a friendly spar, but he beat you up like this."

"Also, Instructor Bone Spur has been staying at the training camp teaching new recruits and hasn't been on a mission for a long time. Why don't you spar with him anytime? Why do you have to fight like a madman until you pass out?"

While relentlessly berating Chu Cige, Reina scanned his entire body with instruments to ensure all injuries were repaired before draining the nutrient repair fluid from the medical pod and opening the pod door.

Chu Cige reached out and removed the mask from her face, somewhat afraid to look Reina in the eye, after all, she was indeed in the wrong this time.

He climbed out of the medical pod, and before he could even get up, Reina rushed up and tackled him to the ground.

Her soft body hugged him tightly, as if afraid he would disappear.

"Um... Rena..."

Chu Cige hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do with his hands, before finally grasping her slender waist.

"Promise me you won't push yourself like that next time, okay?"

Reina's soft, sweet voice rang in my ears.

Chu Cige knew what she was worried about, and couldn't help but tighten his embrace around the beauty in his arms.

"good!"

Reina felt relieved when he agreed and settled comfortably in his arms. "You have no idea how anxious I was when I heard the news. I thought you had encountered other Predators and had been injured in the fight..."

"Thankfully, you're alright..."

Reina suddenly stopped accusing Chu Cige. She felt the familiar telescopic spear pressing against her stomach, making her slightly uncomfortable.

Unlike Reina's own retractable spear, this spear was hot, short, and thick, causing her heart to tremble and her long, snow-white legs to clamp together.

She raised her head, and a wisp of crimson flame gradually rose in her dark, watery pupils. A soft, boneless little hand stroked the corner of his mouth, revealing his fangs, and said:

"Chu... what do you want to do...?"

"think."

The naked Chu Cige was aroused by Reina's stunning body the moment she pounced on him. He wasn't about to let this beautiful woman with such a slender waist go so easily.

She actually criticized me like that just now; I need to teach her a lesson.

"Roar..."

...Interactive dividing line...

Inside the pristine white medical room.

Reina, her skin flushed, lay on the medical pod, still savoring the afterglow. The entire medical room was filled with the scent of youthful passion, and the clothes scattered on the floor told the story of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

Fortunately, no other Ironbloods came over just now, otherwise, judging from the loud screams of Reina just now, I would have known that something was wrong inside.

"Huff—Chu…you're a tireless beast, can't you be a little gentler…"

Reina, panting heavily, looked at Chu Cige and said.

"Heh! I wonder who it was that made me so..."

Chu Cige smiled, but before he could finish speaking, Reina covered his mouth: "Stop talking, it's all your fault."

Reina glared at him fiercely, but she couldn't maintain that expression for long before Chu Cige broke her defenses.

"Chu...you're disgusting..."

He actually licked his palm, making her ticklish.

"Don't……"

Before she could even react, a new offensive began.

...Interactive dividing line...

It was the next morning when Chu Cige and Reina returned home.

They helped tidy up the medical room and ventilated it before leaving.
