Star Hunter.

Chapters 234 Xilin is a very secretive person.

Ignoring the burn on his fingers, Xilin dodged Puno's elbow strike and landed a punch on Puno's side. He landed a successful blow, but instead of following up with another attack, Xilin leaped back; the third bullet was about to arrive. {Update uploaded by a reader}

The second bullet was clearly more difficult to analyze than the first, so it's easy to imagine that the third bullet would be even more challenging. Xilin needed a gap to analyze the third bullet, and even a gap of just one ten-thousandth of a second would increase the success rate of the analysis.

Standing on the rooftop, Lingxi looked at Xilin. She hadn't expected Goreyo's second bullet to miss, and she was even more surprised that Xilin's finger had only been slightly burned. It was merely a burn from the instantaneous high temperature caused by the bullet flying past.

possible?

Based on Lingxi's understanding of the bullets used by Goreyo, these bullets not only bring instantaneous high temperatures, but also powerful airflow compression and impact.

"Hellfire Serpent" is the name of this bullet. Because after it's fired, it possesses the speed of lightning and the instantaneous, non-linear trajectory change of lightning, and like a snake biting its prey, it doesn't blink, leaving the target no chance to escape, not even for a blink.

The sudden change of course, the instantaneous high temperature and high pressure impact, is already difficult to dodge, and the secondary destructive force is also something that ordinary people cannot withstand.

Therefore, even if the energy pierced through Xilin's fingers, it shouldn't have only caused burns. According to Lingxi's estimation, even if the finger wasn't severed, the energy would have sliced ​​off a piece of flesh. But that wasn't the case.

It seems that Xilin's physical strength is no less than Puno's.

While Lingxi was analyzing Xilin, Goreyo fired his third bullet. This bullet wasn't aimed directly at Xilin, but it was definitely locked onto him, and Xilin could clearly sense it.

In fact, Goryo hadn't considered using this bullet on Sirin here. After the second shot, Goryo switched from the originally planned bullet to this one. Because if he had used the original bullet, there was a 60% chance it would have missed, at most only inflicting another burn on Sirin.

Goreyo was very confident about this bullet; even Professor Griffin and the others couldn't dodge it. Moreover, this bullet possessed exceptional penetrating power; it could pierce an entire aircraft, thanks to its special material. The unique firing method gave Goreyo complete confidence in this bullet. This was the true Infernal Thunder Serpent!

The first two were merely Razer missiles at best, but this one is a true Infernal Razer missile!

If Griffin were to use a Hellfire Serpent on Sirin, he would likely go berserk. A Hellfire Serpent attack is either fatal or severely injured. At least Griffin doesn't seem to intend to severely injure Sirin.

It's time to draw blood... Gore thought.

The bullets flew at high speed across the distance between the two buildings, changing their trajectory as they hurtled towards Xilin. At the same time, Puno also launched another attack on Xilin.

It cannot be avoided, it is impossible to avoid.

Gore looked down with a smile.

The sparks generated by the friction of metal were particularly conspicuous in the darkness, like a snake crashing into a hard shield at high speed, causing its blood to burst.

Goryo's smile froze.

Puno's offensive was also forcibly stopped.

The clang made the others stop what they were doing and turn their attention to Xilin.

The slender knife was inconspicuous in the darkness; without the illumination of lights, the dim starlight cast a cold gleam on its blade. This scene left an indelible impression on those who witnessed it.

At that moment, it was like a sharp claw suddenly emerging from the void, blocking the Infernal Lightning Serpent.

The knife is Oscuro's knife.

Baptized in the blood of countless people, accompanied by a blade that has fought countless battles.

It was just this one knife that seemed to instantly drop the surrounding temperature to freezing point.

Peter had originally planned to hurl insults at these people for using guns, but he held back.

A chilling aura, a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one's spine. Puno seemed to hear the wails of countless wronged souls.

The theoretical firing point of the bullet was Shilin's right shoulder. However, it was blocked by the knife when it was fired.

Xilin, gripping his knife, glanced over the horizontal blade at Puno, who stood tense a meter away. Suddenly, his hand flashed, and the knife changed position, now held upside down, blocking at his side.

Sparks flew.

The fourth shot!

Puno's throat felt dry, and he swallowed several times. Four shots! Gorjo hadn't hit a single one!

Having known Gorejo for so many years and worked with him for so long, this is the first time I've seen Gorejo completely incapacitated by all four of his shots!

Zani had the best night vision among them. He could clearly see that the knife Xilin was holding had no marks on it. The sparks from the metal friction that blocked the two shots were not from this knife at all, but from the "Infernal Thunder Serpent" that was known as being able to pierce through an aircraft.

After the fourth shot, Goreyo put away the gun, disassembled it, and put it back in the box.

He understood perfectly well that there was no need to fire at Xilin anymore; the Infernal Lizard wasn't invincible. The ability to calculate the Infernal Lizard's trajectory with such precision was truly admirable.

Gorejo was able to predict the trajectory of the bullet because of his knowledge of the "Hellfire Razer," but what about Sirin?

The method of deriving the bullet's shape and structure by first reversing the initial flight trajectory after the bullet is fired, and then deducing the subsequent trajectory changes.

If it were a calculation problem in a class, countless students from the First Affiliated High School could solve it. However, this is a real-world test, where one only has a brief moment to think.

Is this person's brain long?! Is it a human computer?!

Gorejo believed he had always been very smart and had a strong ability to do mental calculations, but compared to Sirin, he was really lacking in skill.

After putting the box away, Gore made a helpless gesture towards Lingxi, "This guy is too powerful. No wonder Professor Griffin looks at him differently."

Seeing that Goryo had sheathed his sword, Puno also stopped his attack, pressing on several parts of his body that had been hit by Xilin. This time, the injuries seemed to be quite severe.

As Puno's hands massaged the wound, the cracked bones inside his body gradually began to heal.

Seeing that these people were showing signs of stopping, Peller and Yuan Xingming relaxed. However, when they saw a badge that didn't fall off when Puno rubbed his wound, Peller and Yuan Xingming's hearts, which had just settled down, jumped again.

Puno quickly picked up the badge, breathed on it, wiped it clean, gave everyone a simple smile, and put it away like a precious treasure.

Zani and Bieyao didn't react much to the Puno badge; they had one too, and it was a source of their pride. Even without military ranks, the soldiers had to treat them with respect.

Through the night vision image on her cornea, Davie also saw the pattern on the badge. Her hand holding the butterfly knife trembled.

"wing!"

The Wings are a special department within the Lansa Empire. Their badges bear a distinctive emblem—a pair of wings. At the center of the emblem is the Lansa Empire's coat of arms, flanked by two wings: one bearing the flag of the Royal Guard, and the other the flag of the Imperial Guard.

Although the "Wings" bear the insignia of the Empire's two major armies, they are independent of them. The "Wings" possess considerable authority, capable of being directly appointed by Emperor Lanza, meaning their ultimate leader is indeed Emperor Lanza. They are also the only department granted the privilege of directly killing nobles by Emperor Lanza.

Many noble sons who violated imperial laws had been beaten by the "Wings," and quite a few had been killed. Therefore, the first reaction of noble sons upon seeing members of the "Wings" was fear. After all, who doesn't have a couple of turds on their backside?

Previously, in the eyes of Peter and Yuan Xingming, these people were just students from the First and Second Affiliated High Schools. At most, they might feel a little uncomfortable, but they wouldn't think these people would really cause any big trouble. But now, the two of them were uncertain. Who were these people, what kind of orders did they receive, and what if the last one wasn't accidentally injured or killed?

It wasn't that Peter and Yuan Xingming were cowards; as direct descendants of the royal family, they shouldn't be so wary of people from the "Wings." But unfortunately, Peter and Yuan Xingming had never been well-behaved since childhood. They had done what they should have done and what they shouldn't have done. If their father were here to support them, things would be fine, but without his support, they clearly lacked presence.

When were these bastards recruited by "Wing"?! Not a single word got out?!

It's not surprising that Peter and Yuan Xingming didn't know; if they were still in the capital, they would have checked. The problem is that these two have been away from the capital for a while and are unaware of what's happening at the First and Second Affiliated High Schools.

Zani was smug. His wings flapped loudly to assert his presence, leaving both Princes Pierre and Yuan Xingming stunned. "Ahem, Puno, keep your badge safe!"

"Of course, I didn't mean to." Puno really didn't mean to show off. After putting the badge away, he started rubbing his wound again.

Zani glanced at the three wary Peter and his companions, preparing to gloat again, but noticing Xilin's gaze, he turned to Xilin and said, "Kid, look at me? I'm so handsome! Never seen someone with wings before, have you? There's nothing I can do, my talent is too good, it always attracts jealousy..."

Bieyao and Yinafu were already used to Zani's behavior, and didn't even bother to roll their eyes, instead looking at Xilin.

"Xilin, right? We have something to tell you..."

Before Bie Yao could finish speaking, Xi Lin made his move.

Although Puno was rubbing his wounds, he also kept an eye on Xilin's movements. At this moment, he saw Xilin suddenly make a move and openly draw his knife. The target of the knife was the smug Zani!

Puno instantly boosted his energy to the limit, his legs slamming into a large crater in the distance as he ran towards Xilin.

Bie Yao also kicked Xi Lin at lightning speed.

Judging from their situation, Punolisilin is the closest, and Bieyao is a little further away, but neither is as far as the distance between Punolisilin and Zani.

Despite being the furthest away, Xilin dodged Puno's fist, avoided Bieyao's kick, blocked Inaf's fist, and stabbed Zani in the abdomen with a knife.

Zani had been planning to show off in front of these two famous royal scions when he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger. Before he could react, a chill ran down his abdomen, and a tremendous coldness swept through his body. Zani regretted it deeply; he had been caught off guard and careless! For a moment, Zani felt as if he were experiencing death.

As for Lingxi and Goreyo, who were standing on the top of the building, they never expected that Xilin would be so bold!

Upon witnessing this scene, Peter and the others, along with the members of the Yuan and Fuvig families who were secretly observing the situation, were practically bursting with rage.

Peter and Yuan Xingming really wanted to just smash their heads against the ground and be knocked unconscious. To stab someone from "Wing"?! Aside from those who don't care about their lives, only these people are willing to listen to their superiors. But Xilin doesn't seem like someone who doesn't care about their lives, nor is he from "Wing," yet he stabbed Zani? Even though Zani's mouth is incredibly annoying, you can't just stab him like that!

Peter looked at Yuan Xingming: We're doomed. That kid Xilin definitely didn't do anything "Yi," otherwise he wouldn't have dared to make the move. What do we do? What do we do?

"Damn it, you bastard!"

Puno's body swelled up, doubling in size from before. Inaf and Beyo were also different from before; they now exuded an aura of true readiness for a fight to the death.

Lingxi and Gore descended on a fan-shaped flying board. Gore was carrying two guns, two short-barreled guns similar to the ones they had seen before.

"Wait!" Lingxi stopped them. "Zani is fine."

Xilin sheathed his knife, which remained spotless. He frowned as he looked at Zani. Xilin's sensitivity to these things far surpassed that of the others present, even surpassing that of Zani, who was unaware of being affected.

"But he stabbed Zani! Unforgivable!"

Puno and Bieyao seem to be considering backing down.

"Stop!" Zani shouted.

Upon hearing Zani's words, Puno and Bie Yaocai stopped their attack and looked at Zani with confusion, not understanding why he had done this.

Zani took a deep breath with some difficulty and then slowly exhaled, finally managing to recover from the shock of the moment before. He waved the healing potion that Inaf offered, indicating that he didn't need it.

Peter had covered his face with his hands when he saw the battle was about to begin, but he still peeked through his fingers at what was happening. He had been complaining that those people in the shadows weren't coming out to help, but seeing that things weren't going in the way he expected, he finally took his hands away and watched the situation openly.

Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, Zani raised his hand, revealing five long, sharp fingernails protruding from his five fingers. Then, Zani reached into the wound that Xilin had just inflicted.

Zani inserted his long fingernails into the wound until they disappeared completely. Seeing this, Peter and Yuan Xingming unconsciously touched their abdomens, a chill running down their spines. That must have hurt terribly!

When Zani's fingernail reappeared, it was holding a black object the size of a quail egg.

insect?

Seeing this thing being held directly in his hand, Zani crushed it with his fingers, then tilted his head back and let out a long, piercing scream, a scream that didn't sound human.

With that shriek, Zani's once robust body rapidly became slender, while his arms stretched out.

puff!puff!

Two more pairs of wings unfolded behind Zani, each pair longer than the last. Two long, sharp fangs also protruded from his mouth. The outline, sketched in the hazy starlight, looked quite ferocious at first glance, like a demon from mythology.

Xilin felt it. Zani had become lighter. No, his bones had become lighter. They must have become hollow, allowing him to move faster in the air.

This is the real Zani, isn't it? In comparison, the previous Zani was like playing with a child.

After changing like this, Zani let out another sharp cry. This time, there wasn't a huge change like before, but small protrusions could be clearly seen moving around on Zani's body. However, these small protrusions seemed to be threatened and moved from Zani's body to his three pairs of wings.

After all the small protrusions had transferred to the three pairs of wings, Zani shrieked for the third time. The three pairs of wings shook violently, and the skin at the small protrusions broke open, shaking out what was inside.

Crackling sounds.

With a flutter of its wings, the small object, just like the black object that Zani had crushed earlier, was shaken to the ground.

"Insects?! Could it be..." Bie Yao exclaimed, taking out a small knife and poking one to examine it closely.

The tiny insects that Zani had shaken off were already near death, and they all died in no time.

After shaking out all the worms from his body, Zani returned to his original form, this time folding all his wings back.

Zani, panting, cursed between breaths, "Damn it, we've made a mistake, we've capsized in the gutter!" "It's capsized several times already!"

These must have been caused during their previous mission. Seeing Zani like this, Puno and the others quickly checked him over. Although they couldn't find anything in his body, they were still a little worried. After seeing Zani's condition, they felt a bit scared.

Inaf took out a bag and collected the insects, preparing to take them for identification.

"Parasites?" Lingxi looked at the dead insects on the ground, then turned to Xilin.

Now everyone understands that Xilin's previous stab killed a parasite in Zani's abdomen, but how did Xilin manage to kill Zani with that parasite? And how did he manage to stab it so accurately?

"Are you the one with parasites on Zani?" Lingxi asked.

Xilin looked at them and said, "Have you always been this self-righteous and condescending in your tone?"

Xilin's claim that he felt no emotion about being attacked for no reason is pure nonsense.

Lingxi paused, her tone softening slightly. "I'm sorry, but we won't apologize for what happened before; we were just following orders. However, we still thank you for what happened to Zani."

"Hey. You, Xilin, right? Thanks!" Zani, exhausted from the exertion, plopped down on the ground and said to Xilin.

"No need to thank me. Even if I don't draw my sword, you'll be able to withstand it."

It'll just be a terrible time then. That's what everyone knows.

Before Bie Yao could finish speaking, Ling Xi stopped him, took out a card, and handed it to Xi Lin. "This is a card that our boss, Ms. Ge Lifen, asked us to give to you. As for how we treat you in the future, we won't interfere."

Xilin took the card and looked at it, but didn't understand it.

Peter and Yuan Xingming had grown bolder and peeked inside.

"Damn! You guys from the First Affiliated High School are going too far! I've never seen anyone poach students like this!" Peter's ego kicked in again as he pointed at Lingxi and the others.

"A recommendation card from the First Affiliated Hospital..." Yuan Xingming looked around and patted Xilin on the shoulder. "Dude, you're in luck, someone recommended you for the First Affiliated Hospital."

Xilin finally understood the use of this card. In other words, if he brought this card to the next admissions meeting for the affiliated high school, he could get in.

Yuan Xingming continued, "Xilin, you're still not there? Everyone in Appendix 1 only gets in through recommendations."

"That bastard Tuosen!!" Yuan Xingming was saying when Peter roared, interrupting him, "It must have been that bastard Tuosen who leaked it. That piece of trash!! I know he's the most unreliable person!"

"Alright, we're leaving now. If you have any questions about this matter, you can ask Teacher Ge Lifen directly," Ling Xi said. They had already done what Ge Lifen asked them to do, and they still had other tasks to complete. They couldn't linger here too long. Besides, they needed to investigate the parasite issue, and that place needed to be sealed off first.

As soon as Lingxi said she was leaving, Puno and the others suddenly sensed something was wrong; it seemed like one of them was missing…

Just then, a noise came from the edge of the wall. Two cat paws were placed on the edge of the wall, and then a cat's head appeared, with something in its mouth.

The gray cat looked energetic and unharmed. After it jumped up, the group realized that the gray cat was biting the black panther's tail. It dragged the black panther up by biting its tail, which looked very easy and effortless.

The surroundings lit up again, with flashing lights and projections illuminating the area. However, it was unlikely to return to its previous bustling state tonight, as the planetary government had already sent people to evacuate those who had been hypnotized.

As for the black panther that was dragged up by the gray cat, it seemed weak and listless. Its body was noticeably swollen from the blow, and it lay there limply. It half-raised its eyelids to look at Ling Xi and the others, then raised its paws to cover its head, wishing it could find a crack to crawl into.

How embarrassing! I lost to an ugly cat!

After jumping up, the gray cat looked at the group of people standing there, threw the black panther on the ground, and then walked over to Davie as if no one else was there. "Is there any wine left? I'm thirsty!"

Peter really wanted to worship this cat; it was simply amazing! Not only did it beat that black panther to a pulp, but it could also drink so much, and not only that, it completely ignored the "Wings" members!

It's true what they say, like attracts like!

Davie glanced at the people in the room, took a step back, then another, and seeing no reaction, left to find wine for Gray Cat.

Seeing Davie go to get the wine, the gray cat turned and nimbly ran to Xilin, skillfully leaping up and climbing onto Xilin's shoulder. "What are you holding in your hand?"

"The invitation card is attached." Xilin handed the card to Gray Cat so he could take a closer look.

"Affiliated School One? Is that the First Higher Education School affiliated with the Royal Academy of Sciences that Peter mentioned? (Don't skip words)"

"Yes."

The gray cat glanced at the card, then at the group of people standing around the black panther, administering the medicine and conducting checks. "Just like that panther?"

"really."

"No," the gray cat flicked its tail confidently. "Too weak! What a waste!"

The crowd in the arena…

This cat is being too cocky.

The gray cat pushed the card away with its paw, yawned, and looked like it didn't want to talk to you anymore.

Zani couldn't hold back any longer, "You can't say that. We were holding back our strength and didn't go all out."

The black panther raised its paws to cover its ears. It was getting serious, but it was suppressed before it could even unleash its power.

Seeing Black Panther like this, Lingxi called out to Zani, "Let's go, we still have a mission."

Puno walked a few steps with Lingxi and the others, then ran up to Xilin and asked, "I really don't have anything like that on me?"

Before Xilin could even open his eyes, Gray Cat said, "You mean insects?" "No."

Puno glanced at the gray cat, then at Xilin, and only after Xilin nodded did he happily follow Lingxi and the others.

After Lingxi and the others left, Gray Cat urged Xilin to find a place to eat.

"Hey, wait for me!" Peter caught up, still holding the communicator and cursing, "Didn't you say these things earlier? What's the point of saying them now? I don't want to hear them!"

After disconnecting the communicator, Peter turned and called to Yuan Xingming, who was still standing there, "Let's go!"

"!" Yuan Xingming answered, but looked at Xilin's back with a puzzled expression. He had a very familiar feeling when Xilin took out his knife to block the bullet, and he felt the same way when Xilin put the knife away. It was strange.

Xilin is an enigma. He claims to be an ordinary person with a modest lifestyle, so why does he possess a warp container? In the Lanza Empire, although warp technology has developed rapidly, those who own warp containers are mostly from the nobility and wealthy merchants. Given Xilin's circumstances, how could he possibly have a warp container? Moreover, Xilin's knife... is no ordinary item either.

Could he be an illegitimate child of some family?

Yuan Xingming thought about it more and more and more likely it was true.

Meanwhile, after Lingxi and the others boarded the spacecraft and left the planet, they also analyzed Xilin.

"Without a doubt, Xilin is much stronger than his peers. Even some of the students from the top two schools might not be able to beat him in a head-on fight," Bie Yao said.

"But why is there no one like that?" It's because Professor Ge Lifen has a group of people specifically tasked with finding and discovering people like them.

Zani crossed his legs and asked, "Who do you think would win if Bai Ye and Xilin faced off?"

"It must be Bai Ye! You know how strong Bai Ye is, don't you?" Inaf affirmed.

Zani shook his finger. "Don't engage in blind personality cult; we need to analyze things objectively."

Gore remained silent. He didn't know who would win either.

Seeing Zani and Inaf arguing, Bie Yao asked Ling Xi, "Ling Xi, what do you think? You definitely know your brother better than we do, right? (No words needed)"

Bai Ye is Ling Xi's older brother. They were brought to the First Affiliated Hospital together after they were discovered.

Lingxi shook her head. "Xilin is a very secretive person."

None of them were there.

Puno scratched his head, realizing he shouldn't have said that, and to change the subject, he nudged the black panther lying nearby pretending to be dead. "Panser, is that cat really that powerful?"

Panther looked pained. "I doubt it was a cat. I couldn't even scratch its skin! And..." Panther gasped for breath, "Is that the strength a cat should have?! Even King Kong isn't as strong as it!"

King Kong is a ten-meter-tall gorilla in the First Affiliated Hospital. Uh, no, it's a baby gorilla; it's still in its infancy.
