Zongman: The post-2D era

The voice was gentle and firm, like a ray of warm sunshine in spring, gently brushing across Fengfeng's heart.

Feng Feng stopped, turned to look at Xue Noi, a gentle smile flashed in his eyes.

"with you."

He gently held Yukino's hand which was wrapped around his arm, and they stood side by side in the morning light. The golden sunlight cast a layer of warm glow on their figures.

"I will continue to study Sakurada's unknown power, not only for myself, but also to protect everything we care about."

His words were full of vision for the future, "Also, together with you, I will explore more secrets of this world and let our footprints spread to every corner of the world."

The two walked side by side to the end of the light path, which seemed to be the boundary between night and day, with light and shadow entangled.

They stopped and turned to face Sakurada, which was gently embraced by the morning light. In the silence, only each other's breathing and heartbeat resonated.

The morning light was like a fine gauze, gently covering them, adding a sense of sacredness and reluctance to the moment before parting.

Feng Feng gently took Xue Nai's hand, and their eyes met in the morning light, as if they had traveled through time and space, seeing all the thousands of words in each other's hearts.

That smile is relief, expectation, and a brave embrace of an unknown journey.

As their smiles blossomed, the space around them began to tremble gently, and a dazzling space passage slowly opened under their feet, like a pouring galaxy, radiating light and making everything around them look like a dream.

Below, the crowd, led by Sumire Soma, looked up at the dazzling space passage in the sky that was gradually closing, their eyes filled with reluctance and admiration.

They slowly bent down and bowed deeply, each movement filled with deep gratitude and blessings to Fengfeng and Xueno.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and shines on everyone's face, giving the solemn scene a golden glow.

There is an indescribable warmth and hope in the air, as if even the wind has become much softer, gently brushing through everyone's hair with a bit of reluctance and expectation.

There was a complex light flashing in Sumire Soma's eyes, which showed both her relief at her friend's courageous progress and her longing for the infinite possibilities of the future.

A gentle smile appeared on her lips, and she silently prayed in her heart that she hoped the couple could continue to write their own legend in the unknown journey.

In this way, she can find Feng Feng in the future and fulfill her curse.

Deep in the space channel, Feng Feng and Xue Nai held hands, stepping on the soft and unpredictable light, as if walking in an endless galaxy.

The light spots around slowly flow like stars, interweaving into flowing pictures.

Suddenly, an unusual light appeared vaguely ahead. The light was warm and familiar, like a long-lost lighthouse, guiding the lost travelers back home.

As they approached step by step, the light gradually became clearer and turned into beams of light projected from afar, penetrating the fog of the space channel and illuminating the road ahead.

Immediately afterwards, a low and long whistle sound penetrated the silence. It was the unique rhythm of the train, carrying the calmness of time and the call from afar.

The train stopped steadily, the body of the train glowing a cold and solemn silver light in the morning light, and the doors slowly slid open to both sides, like a door in time and space, waiting for the return of the travelers.

Inside the car, the light was soft and slightly dim, illuminating a tall woman - Yukinoshita Haruno.

She was wearing a well-tailored school suit, her face was cold, and her eyes revealed unquestionable majesty.

With his arms folded across his chest, he stood straight like a statue, staring quietly at Fengfeng and Xueno outside the car.

The morning light shone through the gaps in the car window, dappling onto her profile, adding a touch of softness to her, but it was also unable to conceal her inviolable temperament.

The corners of her mouth turned down slightly, as if she was suppressing her dissatisfaction, and her voice was cold and powerful: "I was absent for ten days without reason. Fengfeng, Xueno, do you really think I am someone who can be ignored at will?"

Every word seemed to be carefully crafted, with a power that could not be ignored, echoing in the carriage and making the atmosphere freeze instantly.

Feng Feng stroked the back of his head with one hand, a look of helplessness and apology on his face. He stepped onto the steps of the train while explaining, taking every step carefully, for fear of angering this majestic sister again.

Yukino followed closely behind, her eyes full of tenderness and apology. Without waiting to stand firmly, she quickly stepped forward, gently wrapped her arms around Yangno's waist, and gently rested her head on her shoulder.

"Sister, I'm sorry for making you worry for so long."

Chapter 749: Fruit-type Youmu from the Academy

Wednesday, July 17

"Sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me! Otherwise, how about punishing us to clean the swimming pool?"

Yukino's voice was delicate and sincere, with a slight tremor, which expressed her deep gratitude and self-blame for the love and care of her family.

Yang Nai's body stiffened slightly, then her cold face gradually softened, and the severity in her eyes was replaced by a barely perceptible tenderness.

She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked Yukino's hair, as if she was comforting a lost child. "Next time, don't make me worry anymore."

Although the voice was soft, it was loaded with concern and reproach.

"However, you still have to defeat the fruit-type youmu that appeared in the academy. I'm going to get busy now."

At this moment, the light in the classroom seemed softer, reflecting Yukino's desperate expression and outstretched hand.

Feng Feng was staring at Youmu, who had a single eye on a fruit and purple grapes on her head, on the phone screen. He said with a gloomy face, "Your sister is really scary."

"This is a monster from the anime Beyond the Boundary. When it encounters danger, it will release a special stench that cannot be washed away within two weeks."

"The way to defeat it is for one person to sing and dance in front of the one-eyed monster to attract its attention. After its eyes change color, another person can sneak attack and kill the relaxed monster."

"By the way, this guy's demon core is worth 500,000, but no one is willing to make that money."

Xueno slowly approached Fengfeng, and the two were so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.

She turned her head and her eyes were fixed on the screen of the mobile phone in Feng Feng's hand. The image of the One-Eyed Fruit Youmu looked particularly strange under the dim screen light.

"How about you sing and dance? This is simply a public execution!"

Her expression changed unpredictably in the interweaving of light and shadow, first a hint of surprise flashed across her face, then deep worry, and finally settled into a complex determination.

"But those who are responsible for the crusade may be stained with bad smell."

She bit her lower lip lightly, as if she was making an important decision. Her eyes, which were usually clear as water, were now shining with a determined light, forming a sharp contrast with the weird image on the screen.

"It's decided. I'll be responsible for attracting the eyeball monster, and you'll be responsible for killing it."

Yukino's fingertips unconsciously stroked the corner of her clothes. The subtle movement revealed her inner struggle and anxiety.

"Can't you?"

The air seemed to freeze at this moment; even the occasional bird calls outside the window seemed exceptionally clear, adding a touch of vividness to the quiet scene.

Feng Feng smiled gently, put his phone in his pocket, turned around and made an exaggerated gesture to Xue No, as if inviting her to join an extraordinary adventure.

"Come on, Lady Yukino, let's give this youmu a special 'welcome party'."

There was a hint of playfulness and seriousness in his words, which made Yukino's mouth curl up unconsciously. The tension in her heart was diluted a little by this sudden relaxed atmosphere.

As Feng Feng walked towards the empty lawn outside the classroom, Xueno followed closely behind him, and every step she took seemed both firm and slightly hesitant.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting a mottled shadow on them.

Feng Feng stopped and turned to face Xue No, with encouragement in his eyes: "Are you ready? Your singing and dancing are the key to this battle."

On the sunlight-dappled grass, a few one-eyed monsters the size of watermelons were floating leisurely.

Their unique single eye flickers with a faint light, and the purple grapes on their heads glow alluringly in the sun, yet reveal a weirdness that cannot be ignored.

As Yukino and Fengfeng approached, these youmu seemed to have sensed something and turned their huge single eye to look at the two of them. A tense and strange atmosphere filled the air.

Yukino's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. She took a deep breath and tried to calm the waves in her heart.

Feng Feng stood aside with a mysterious smile on his face. He patted her shoulder gently, giving her silent support.

Yukino closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened them, with unprecedented determination and courage flashing in her eyes.

She began to move slowly and spin lightly. Her singing was like a mountain spring, melodious and clear, gradually spreading over the grass.

As she sang, the originally vigilant one-eyed monsters began to slowly turn their bodies. They were attracted by the pure music. The light in their single eyes gradually softened, as if they were immersed in a dream world.

Feng Feng's eyes followed Xue No's spinning figure closely. Her singing seemed to have magic, making everything around her soft and peaceful.

When Yukino gave him another subtle look, he finally came out of his intoxication and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He took a few steps back nimbly, avoiding Youmu's line of sight, and began to move around quietly.

Every fallen leaf on the grass seemed to pave a silent path for him, and every step he took was extremely light, like a deer jumping in the woods.

When Feng Feng finally got behind the nearest youmu, he held his breath and his heartbeat resonated with Yukino's singing.

He slowly raised his hand, and a small knife flashing with cold light appeared in his hand. It was the weapon he had prepared long ago.

In the dappled sunlight, his movements were swift and decisive, like a cheetah locking onto its prey.

Just when Youmu was completely immersed in Yukino's singing and her one eye was almost completely closed, Feng Feng stabbed Youmu's seemingly harmless one eye with lightning speed and precision.

In an instant, Youmu's body trembled violently, then turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated into the air, leaving only a demon core that was shining with a strange light, lying quietly on the grass.

Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, dust and grass debris scattered everywhere, and a larger youmu with red eyes suddenly emerged from the ground, its huge body almost blocking out half of the sunlight.

Its eyes seemed to be burning with flames of anger as it stared at Feng Feng and Xue Nai, and an ominous black mist surrounded its body.

Before the two could react, the youmu suddenly swelled up, and a suffocating and foul-smelling gas gushed out, instantly filling the entire open space. Even the sunlight seemed to be tainted by the stench.

Yukino was choked by the sudden attack and stepped back repeatedly, covering her mouth and nose, with a flash of fear in her eyes.

Feng Feng reacted quickly, rolling on the ground to avoid the area where the stench was strongest.

At the same time, he pulled out a wet cloth from his waist and quickly covered his mouth and nose with it, his eyes full of determination. He knew very well that in such an environment, only a quick battle could help him escape.

The sword flashed, and the last youmu fell to the ground.

In the misty shower room of the swimming pool, water droplets slide down the tiled wall and merge into a gurgling stream with the accumulated water below.

Xueno and Fengfeng stood side by side under the shower in the cubicle. The strong water flow washed over their tired and tense bodies, trying to wash away all the dust and odor.

Yukino's long hair was wet by the water and stuck to her cheeks. A few strands of hair playfully blocked her vision, but she had no time to care. She just rubbed the grass stains and traces of battle on her arms vigorously.

Feng Feng seemed more rough. He wiped his face directly with his palm, water droplets splashed everywhere, and a helpless smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"Yang No must have done it on purpose. The one hiding underground..."

Chapter 750: Preparation for the School Sports Meeting

Thursday, July 18

Shower room at the Institute's Special Status Processing Center.

Feng Feng wiped the water off his face, looked at Xue Nai with a playful look in his eyes, and raised a bitter smile:

"Yang Nai, this guy, deliberately created such a big thing to test us. He is not afraid that we will really get caught here."

As he spoke, he shrugged exaggeratedly, and the water droplets drew crystal arcs in the air as he moved.
