The shuttle in the second dimension

　Lin Xuan didn't care about Zhu Xingxiongda's silence. What he cared about was the smell he smelled when Zhu Xingxiongda came in.

　Sniff~~~

　Sniffing slightly, Lin Xuan asked, "Did you bring anything? Why does it smell like sauce?" As he spoke, Lin Xuan's gaze slowly shifted downwards, finally settling on the bag in Zhu Xingxiong's hand.

　"!!" Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Zhu Xingxiong's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Xuan in surprise. "You are born in the Year of the Dog, how can you have such a sharp nose!!"

　"Can I take this as a compliment?" Lin Xuan pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at Zhu Xing Xiongda with a bad look.

　"Haha - don't mind it, don't mind it~~~~~" As if noticing the inappropriateness of his words, Zhu Xingyu scratched the back of his head and laughed carelessly.

　"Seeing that you stay in the hospital all day and it's not easy for you to go out, I brought you the most delicious okonomiyaki for you to try." With a hearty smile, General Moroboshi Xiong handed the bag in his hand to Lin Xuan.

　"The taste of this is incomparable to the nutritious meal prepared for you by the pharmacist doctor." Zhu Xingxiong Yudai said proudly as if showing off.

　As a result, Lin Xuan sniffed the bag that Zhu Xingyudai handed over and said with a smile, "It smells delicious. Since you brought some delicious food, I'll tell you some not-so-good news." As he said that, Lin Xuan glanced at Zhu Xingyudai playfully.

　For some reason, after seeing Lin Xuan's playful gaze, Zhu Xingxiongda suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart. He was about to ask Lin Xuan when Lin Xuan spoke first.

　"Wu Zi is behind you~~~~Wuwu~~~Delicious~~~~" After opening the package, Lin Xuan started eating it first, completely ignoring Zhu Xingxiongda's face which was gradually becoming stiff.

　At this moment, a voice that could lower the temperature in the room by several degrees rang out from behind Moroboshi Yudai. "Ah~~~~Mroroboshi-san, I'm so sorry that the nutritious meal I prepared isn't as delicious as your okonomiyaki~~~~~"

　When he heard the cold voice behind him, Zhu Xingyu's face turned dark. When he came just now, he saw Yakushi Kiriko taking care of other patients. How could she come here so quickly?

　Turning around stiffly, Moroboshi Yudai looked at Yakushi Kiriko behind him.

　"No, no, Pharmacist!! It's not what you think." Although Moroboshi Yudai has a carefree personality, he also knows what will happen if his words are heard by Pharmacist Kiriko. Although what he said is not wrong and Pharmacist Kiriko also knows that it is the truth, there are some facts that cannot be said in person~~~~

　"Hmph!!" With a cold snort, Yakushi Kiriko walked past Zhuxing Yudai without any intention of paying any attention to him.

　Seeing that Yakushi Kiriko didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, Moroboshi Yudai turned around and sighed helplessly.

　"Wuzi, you're here~~~" Lin Xuan said with a smile after swallowing the last bite of okonomiyaki.

　"Isn't it much more delicious than the nutritious meal I prepared for you?" Pharmacist Wu Zi raised her eyebrows and asked with a bad look on her face.

　"How can you say that? Each of them has its own characteristics, how can they be compared together? Besides, everyone has different tastes. Moroboshi said that because Okonomiyaki suits his taste better than your nutritious meal. He is not saying that your nutritious meal is not delicious. On the contrary, the nutritious meal you matched tastes really good and is very much to my taste." With a slight smile on his lips, Lin Xuan said seriously to Pharmacist Wu Zi.

　Lin Xuan's words were part truth and part falsehood. While the nutritious meal prepared by Yakushi Kiriko was indeed delicious, it couldn't compare to the okonomiyaki brought by Moroboshi Yudai. After all, the nutritious meal focused on nutrition, not taste. However, sometimes, there are things that can't be said completely truthfully, right?

　After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Pharmacist Wu Zi's expression brightened a little. "How do you feel?"

　"You can continue training now." Lin Xuan said as he stood up from the hospital bed.

　"You're recovering pretty quickly?" Pharmacist Wu Zi chuckled with the corner of his mouth raised.

　"After all, you were the one who treated me~~ How could I not recover quickly?"

　"Hmph, you still have some conscience." Most people would like to be praised, and Yakushi Wuzi is one of those people.

　Suddenly, Lin Xuan looked at Zhu Xingxiong and asked, "By the way, Zhu Xing, are you free later?"

　"Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Xuan's sudden question made Zhu Xingxiong stunned. He didn't know what Lin Xuan wanted to do by asking this.

　"—Let's have a fight."

Chapter 85: Discussion

　"——Let's have a fight. じ杂﹢志﹢虫じ"

　"A fight!?" Zhu Xingxiong Xiongda had never expected that Lin Xuan's question about his free time was actually about this matter. However, after Lin Xuan mentioned this, he, who had retired for three years, suddenly felt a desire to fight.

　"That's right, how about a fight? However, you haven't fought with anyone for a long time, can you still find the feeling you had before?" As he said that, Lin Xuan looked at Zhu Xing Xiongdai with a hint of provocation.

　"Ha!?" As if hearing something funny, Moroboshi Yudai sneered, "You can actually use such an obvious provocation? Since you want to fight, then come on. But if you lose, don't say I'm taking advantage of your frail body."

　"Oh~~~ Really? You'll be stunned by me later~~~~" After hearing what Zhuxing Yudai said, Lin Xuan immediately counterattacked.

　However, just as the two were about to continue talking, a voice suddenly interrupted. "As patients, before you make these decisions, have you ever consulted your attending physicians first~~~~~~~~~~~~"

　"Forehead--"

　"Forehead--"

　Looking at the pharmacist Wu Zi, who was looking at him with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and an unfriendly look, Lin Xuan and Zhu Xingxiong Yudai looked at each other and saw a hint of bad things happening in each other's eyes.

　Just as the two were about to explain to Yaoshi Wuzi, Yaoshi Wuzi shook her head and said helplessly, "Forget it. Looking at you guys, I know I can't stop you. But remember to stop at this point. Don't let me have someone carry you back in the end."

　"Thank you, Wuzi."

　"Thank you, Pharmacist."

　-

　In an open space not far from the hospital, Lin Xuan and Zhu Xingxiong Yudai, still in their hospital gowns, stood ten meters apart, staring at each other. Each could see the unwavering fighting spirit in the other's eyes. As time passed, both men were ready for battle.

　"Is that your inherent spiritual outfit?" Lin Xuan asked with narrowed eyes, looking at the inherent spiritual outfit in Zhuxing Xiongda's hand.

　In Zhu Xingyudai's hand was a slender golden spear with a straight tip. The tassel at the end of the spear looked like tiger hair, majestic and awe-inspiring.

　"【Tiger King】" he whispered the name of his own spiritual suit, then Zhu Xingyu leisurely held the tip of his long (hx) spear-shaped spiritual suit "Tiger King" horizontally, and tilted his body slightly.

　The next moment, a strong aura rose from Zhu Xingxiong's body. It was an intimidating aura like the king of beasts. Although it was still in its infancy, it was conceivable that once this aura grew, the opponent facing this aura would be oppressed.

　"Great momentum." Feeling the momentum coming towards him, Lin Xuan praised.

　"Thank you for the compliment." Compared to Lin Xuan's calm expression, Zhu Xingxiong's face was solemn. Although he had never clashed with Lin Xuan, Zhu Xingxiong's keen intuition told him that Lin Xuan was very strong when they first met at the hospital. Even though his current body was not as strong as when he was at his peak, Zhu Xingxiong could still sense the subtle pressure from Lin Xuan.

　"[Destroy]" Lin Xuan said as he slowly pulled the knife out of the scabbard. At the same time, after pulling the knife out of the scabbard, Lin Xuan dispersed the scabbard.

　Compared to the two who were fully prepared for the fight, Yaoshi Wuzi, the spectator and referee, seemed much more relaxed. After all, she only needed to call a halt when the fight was almost over. Seeing that the two were almost ready, Yaoshi Wuzi called out.

　"start!!"

　As soon as Pharmacist Wu Zi finished speaking, Lin Xuan rushed towards Zhu Xing Xiongda like an arrow.

　On the other side, Zhu Xingxiong narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Xuan rushing towards him.

　The next moment, there was a flash of lightning.

　The [Tiger King] in Zhu Xingxiongda's hand began to reveal its fangs, and the straight golden spear head seemed to pierce through the void, stabbing fiercely towards the rushing Lin Xuan.

　Just when the Tiger King was about to stab Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan moved his body slightly to the side, avoiding the stab, and continued to rush towards Zhu Xing Xiongda, but at this moment, a golden gun tip appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes and continued to grow bigger.

　Swish! !

　The jet-black hair slowly scattered in the air and flew away into the distance with a breeze.

　Obviously, Lin Xuan dodged the second shot that Zhu Xingxiongda shot almost at the same time as the first shot, but just like when he was ambushed by George from the [Alliance], his body could not keep up with his reaction, making him dodge a step late. A small clump of hair on his forehead was cut off by Zhu Xingxiongda's gun blade. Moreover, his right calf seemed unable to withstand his dodging action, and the bones were slightly cracked.

　The sound of the bones cracking was so small that even Zhu Xingxiong Yudai didn't notice it, but the pharmacist Wu Zi who was watching from the side noticed it. Although she was just standing by and watching, she was actually using magic to observe the physical condition of the two people at all times. She felt that there was a problem with Lin Xuan's calf bones. However, because she didn't want to kill the two people, the pharmacist Wu Zi didn't let them stop, but continued to let them fight.

　"Can you pierce two places at the same time now? It's really scary that you can do this even though your body hasn't fully recovered yet~~~~" After dodging Zhu Xingxiong's stab, Lin Xuan ignored the bones of his right calf that had begun to tear and rushed towards Zhu Xingxiong again.

　On the other side, after seeing Lin Xuan continue to rush towards him, Zhu Xing Xiongda did not have any fluctuations in his heart. He continued to wave the [Tiger King] in his hand and stabbed towards Lin Xuan.

　This time, facing the aggressive [Tiger King], Lin Xuan did not choose to dodge, but raised the [Destroy] in his hand and stabbed the [Tiger King]'s gun tip fiercely.

　The next second, the [Tiger King] lost its propulsion and could not move forward.

　"WHAT!!!" His eyes widened as he watched the tip of the knife pressed against the Tiger King, a turbulent wave rising within Zhu Xing Yu Dai. The Tiger King's spear tip was only the size of a needle, yet he relied on the strength of his hands to precisely press the needle-sized tip of his knife against the Tiger King's spear tip, blocking his own thrust. Furthermore, Lin Xuan's expression remained calm, as if he had done something he often did.

　Not only Zhu Xingxiong was shocked, even the pharmacist Wu Zi who was watching from the side was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. Although she was not a swordsman with superb martial arts, it did not prevent her from knowing how amazing Lin Xuan's move was.

　While the two were shocked, Lin Xuan moved.

Chapter 86 Victory

　While Zhu Xing Yu Dai and Yakushi Wu Zi were still amazed at Lin Xuan's skill in blocking the spear tip with the tip of his sword, Lin Xuan began to make a new move. He saw Lin Xuan slightly rotate the Zan Mie in his hand.

　Magnetic magnetic magnetic——

　With a sharp friction sound, the straight tip of [Zhanmie] crossed the tip of [Tiger King]'s spear. At the same time, [Zhanmie] changed from the original stabbing attack to a slashing attack, and slashed towards Zhuxing Yudai's right hand holding the spear with lightning speed.

　But Zhu Xing Xiongdai is not an ordinary person after all. Although he is still shocked by Lin Xuan's skills, when he senses the danger coming, his body reacts on its own and he quickly thinks about retreating behind him. While retreating, he takes advantage of the moment when Lin Xuan's old strength has been exhausted and the new strength has not yet formed, and stabs out the [Tiger King] in his hand again.

　"Not bad, I can seize such an opportunity when retreating." Looking at the Tiger King stabbing at him again, Lin Xuan slightly turned his body to avoid the stab. Then, as if repeating the previous scene of Lin Xuan, the straight golden gun tip of the Tiger King continued to enlarge in Lin Xuan's eyes again.

　"Waiting for you~~~" Lin Xuan seemed to have already met Zhu Xingxiongda's shot. He once again moved sideways to avoid the second shot. But just when Lin Xuan dodged this shot, the tip of the Tiger King's gun, which he had originally avoided, bent rapidly like a poisonous snake chasing its prey, and chased Lin Xuan who had moved sideways to avoid it.

　"Hmm--" When he saw the gun tip chasing after him, a hint of surprise appeared on Lin Xuan's calm face.

　"I remember it was called [Broom Star]! ? I didn't expect it can be used now? "Thinking in his heart, Lin Xuan's [Destroy] suddenly burst out with a blade of light and slashed towards the attacking [Tiger King].

　"Chong-"

　The blade and the tip of the gun collided fiercely, and at the same time, Lin Xuan glanced at his arms, then frowned slightly.

　"Can't your bones withstand just this level of collision? It seems we have to make a quick decision, otherwise my body will definitely not be able to bear it in the end." Thinking to himself, Lin Xuan took a strange step and disappeared in front of Zhu Xingxiongda in an instant.

　"So fast——" Zhu Xingxiong was shocked when he saw Lin Xuan disappear in front of him in the blink of an eye.

　At this moment, a sharp blade light suddenly burst out from behind Zhu Xingyudai. The blade light was like the scythe of the god of death, carrying the coldness of death, and slashed towards Zhu Xingyudai.

　Danger!!!! Zhu Xingxiongda sensed something was amiss the moment Lin Xuan vanished from his sight. The next moment, he felt a piercing chill behind him, a feeling that death was near. At this point, Zhu Xingxiongda could no longer care about anything else and lunged forward with all his might. While lunging forward, Zhu Xingxiongda twisted his body and, with all his might, stabbed behind him.

　But when Yudai Moroboshi saw the pitch-black blade so close to him, he stopped stabbing with the Tiger King in his hand because it was meaningless. He had already lost, and lost miserably.

　Looking at the [Destruction] that seemed to be just a hair's breadth away from hitting him, Moroboshi Yudai smiled bitterly and said, "What a miserable loss~~~~"

　"If that spear you just struck, which seemed to be able to bend, had been faster and more skillful, I might not have won so easily." Putting away [Destruction], Lin Xuan stretched out his right hand towards Zhu Xingxiongda and chuckled, "Can you still get up?"

　"I haven't completed the move I used just now. It was just a prototype and it's still very clumsy to use." Grabbing Lin Xuan's outstretched hand, Zhu Xingxiongda climbed up from the ground.

　After standing up, Zhu Xingxiong looked Lin Xuan up and down. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, your body is obviously still very weak, but you swing the sword so fast. I can't imagine how much faster and stronger you would be if you hadn't lost your legs. I doubt it, are you and I really the same age?"

　Although he lost miserably, Zhu Xingyudai was not discouraged at all. Instead, he felt an even stronger desire to become stronger. He felt that if his strength could surpass Lin Xuan, his sister might be able to let go of the self-blame in her heart and speak again.

　"What? Want to find an excuse for yourself?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and joked.

　"Ha!? You underestimate me too much. I just lost a game because of my inferior skills. If I can't stand this little setback, then I'm afraid I would have to beg the pharmacist to put my leg back into my body in a few days of rehabilitation training." With a carefree smile, Moroboshi Yudai retorted.

　Seeing Zhu Xingyu's expression, Lin Xuan was about to say something, but Yaoshi Wuzi interrupted him without giving him a chance to speak. "Is there something wrong with your calf and arm bones?"

　"You know~~~" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said helplessly, "Who knew that bones are more fragile than imagined? They can't withstand even the slightest force."

　In reality, the problems with the bones in Lin Xuan's calves and arms weren't entirely his fault. Whether it was his earlier evasive maneuvers or the direct confrontation between [Destroy] and [Tiger King], he'd utilized the technique he'd learned during his battle with Edelweiss, which allowed him to concentrate his power without leaking a single ounce. A year of practice had etched this skill deeply into Lin Xuan's frame, leading him to subconsciously employ it even though he knew it would place a strain on his current body and could easily cause problems.

　"Okay, let's go back to the hospital and I'll give you another treatment." Pharmacist Wu Zi rolled his eyes at Lin Xuan and said unhappily.
