After Honda helped Li Jiayu kill a red-capped beetle that was about to advance to the next level, he separated from Li Jiayu and left the group with a few others to clean up the area. Li Jiayu trusted Honda's abilities the most in the entire academy, so she agreed.
"Hmm! This is it. It seems Li Jiayu has summoned 'Gaara.' I just don't know if it's the 'Panda' from when he was a child or the 'Panda' who has become the Kazekage." Honda noticed an energy fluctuation after killing a venomous spider. He figured it was Li Jiayu's third summoning and stopped paying attention to Li Jiayu. Honda, along with a few students who were now somewhat armed, continued the cleanup.
When Honda met up with Li Jiayu and his students, he saw Li Jiayu happily confessing her love to Xiao Wanqing. Honestly, Li Jiayu was indeed pitiful, but Honda felt no pity. He even felt a little amused; this guy was incredibly good to his family. So good that he'd even violated his 'sisters'—whether they were his 'adopted' sisters or his blood-related 'sisters'—he didn't spare them. He said he'd done it, and he did it! A grown man… no! A former grown man, couldn't even take responsibility for what he'd done. He didn't dare admit it, using the excuse that it was to improve their strength.
Alas! Li Jiayu, if you are truly heartless and ungrateful, and fail to take responsibility for your actions as a man, even if the Goddess of Light intervenes, I will still beat you to a pulp.
Looking at Li Jiayu in Xiao Wanqing's arms, Honda suppressed the disdain in his eyes. He turned and left to rest in another room for a while!
In about half an hour, Li Jiayu recovered her energy and spirit. She emerged from the room. This was because Li Jiayu had once snatched a mental meditation technique from a bone demon, which could quickly restore mental strength and had a five-fold sleep effect!
In other words, Li Jiayu had actually slept for almost two hours!
With the addition of Xiao Wanqing's holy light, Li Jiayu's physical and mental strength have recovered to about 70-80%, which is enough for now!
"Get ready to move! Those red beetles on the three floors below are probably getting impatient, having already washed their necks, right?"
Li Jiayu stood up from Xiao Wanqing with a refreshed expression, her eyes sharp and once again bursting with astonishing fighting spirit and coldness. She reached out and grabbed the Hyōrinmaru beside her, her fingers lightly flicking the cold, clear blade, producing a "ding" sound.
Hearing Li Jiayu's words, Honda snapped out of her meditation. She found the two most suitable cultivation techniques for her current practice in her ring: the 'Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao' and the 'Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture,' both supreme techniques. Honda had already cultivated both techniques to the second level simultaneously, and now she could instantly kill high-level third-tier insects. However, Honda always used a gun to stab the insects to death; if she used a sword, she could say she was currently invincible.
Honda was a little annoyed watching Li Jiayu flaunt that 'sand gourd', and he didn't want to do anything with his Dragonfly Cut right now. Otherwise! There was no reason for Li Jiayu to show off here.
As it grew darker, Honda suggested to Li Jiayu, who was still showing off, that they split up. Honda would lead the group to the supermarket, while Li Jiayu would lead the group to the girls' dormitory!
Li Jiayu thought about it and agreed. Honda was the strongest person besides herself, and in a real fight, she might not even be able to defeat her. Besides, time was running out, and things would become dangerous after dark. Furthermore, after the carnage, more than half the people in the academy had died, and the insects' destructive and voracious appetites had been temporarily satisfied. Most importantly, Ran Hongxia's constant presence prevented Li Jiayu from properly developing a relationship with Xiao Wanqing!
So Li Jiayu was so angry at Ran Hongxia that she immediately assigned her to Honda's team. Thus, Honda, along with the sonic warriors, Feng Liaoyuan, and a dozen or so axemen, set out.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ran Hongxia exclaimed, praising Honda for his overwhelming fighting style, where he killed one person with a single shot! Meanwhile, the dozen or so grown men standing nearby were somewhat embarrassed. How could a young girl be so strong? How could they possibly save face?
Having simply accepted Ran Hongxia's praise, Honda quickly began his cleanup operation. They cleared out all the bugs inside and around the supermarket, and the remaining small fry were also killed by the group. Finally, they could rest and enjoy the fruits of their victory.
Some were very sensible; after eating and drinking a couple of bites, they started taking things.
Honda sat in a chair, sipping juice while examining the few insect crystals in his hand. At this stage, the insect crystals were useless to him, so Honda handed them to Ran Hongxia to distribute. In return, he earned Ran Hongxia's "good person" card!
"Sister Honda, why does Li Jiayu hate me so much? He's always picking on me?" Ran Hongxia had been wondering about this for a long time. She wasn't ugly at all! She was the most beautiful girl at Xijiang University, and countless people had her back! But why did Li Jiayu seem to hate her so much?
Uh! This is a bit complicated. It involves your past life, specifically how you kicked his balls in your past life... Anyway, because it's too complicated, Honda could only awkwardly utter three words.
"I don't know" and don't call me sister, you're a guy who's been assimilated by Li Jiayu.
"Buzzing~~"
"That voice is..." Honda rushed out of the supermarket the moment he heard the voice, leaving Ran Hongxia, who was about to speak, behind.
"Red Clouds, the bugs are coming! You lead the class ahead, I'll cover the rear!" How can I use my full strength with you around?
"But…" Ran Hongxia wanted to argue further.
"Believe me, I'm strong enough to protect myself. But protecting you all will be a bit difficult!"
"Then be careful," Ran Hongxia said, having said all that. She gritted her teeth and walked towards the others.
Seeing Ran Hongxia leave with her people, Honda secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this was all caused by the battle between Li Jiayu and Nü Tengluo. Honda knew perfectly well what was happening to Li Jiayu. This was arguably a crucial step in Li Jiayu's transformation, so Honda decided to ignore it! And so, Li Jiayu met her tragic end.
"Come on, you little bastards!" Honda stretched his arms as he watched the five red-capped beetles rush towards him. Finally, he could unleash his full power. Hopefully, you can hold them off for a bit! You little bugs.
Honda raised his steel spear and charged towards the insects! The crushing attack began.
