"Tch! Too little energy." Honda looked at the dozen or so insect crystals in his hand, some from red-capped beetles, others from sickle beetles. The bio-energy on the insect crystals gave off a sense of vitality. But Honda frowned and sighed helplessly. It seemed he would have to go into seclusion to cultivate before he could stop using the insect crystals. With his current amount of insect crystals, it was simply not enough for Honda to break through to the third level of the 'Tai Chi Profound Purity Path' and the 'Great Sun Tathagata True Scripture'.
"I was so busy digging for insect crystals that I forgot about Li Jiayu." Suddenly remembering Li Jiayu's impending crisis, Honda grabbed his rifle and ran towards her. Hold on! Li Jiayu, the Chrysanthemum, the Flower Madman!
On another battlefield, Li Jiayu watched in anguish as the 'flying dragon louse' flew towards her.
"Was it coming for me...? So, the final mental storm from the weeping vine wasn't aimed at Rong Momo, but rather to summon this flying beetle for help. And since there was the smell of clay bomb smoke here, it actually came..."
A sense of despair welled up in Li Jiayu's heart. She had fought with all her might until the very end, but she had not achieved the best result... It was truly unacceptable. Even after paying such a heavy price, was there no way to win?
What a bastard! Man proposes, God disposes. Are we just supposed to sit here and wait to be eaten, then spend the rest of our lives in hell with regrets? How can we do this? Even if we have to fight, we have to fight one last time!
"The insect crystals don't matter anymore... I'll burn as many as I have! Random summoning, this might be the last random summoning I ever do! No matter what, please don't let me down! Absolutely don't let me down!"
As if electrocuted, Li Jiayu pulled out the last seven insect crystals from her bosom and threw them at his feet. At the same time, her eyes widened in anger, and she roared in resentment. The feeling deep in her mind was no longer dizziness, but a sense of collapse. She felt as if her entire mind was about to explode, chaotic and disordered. However, she still maintained absolute clarity and finished reciting the incantation as quickly as possible!
In an instant, a feeling of overwhelming joy washed over her, an indescribable heat coursing through her heart. In a flash, Li Jiayu opened her eyes, ignoring her broken legs and wrists, and forced herself to kneel on one knee, pressing one hand to the ground, and roared:
"Thank you for coming! I will forever remember your glory! Come forth, Hellfire Bull!"
No sooner had Li Jiayu finished speaking than the flying beetle, which had been posing and showing off on the roof of the gymnasium, became impatient. It suddenly flapped its wings and swooped down from mid-air. Its forelegs were like two broadswords, gleaming with a cold light in the cold night!
Closer, closer! Soon we'll be able to cut Li Jiayu from head to crotch with one stroke. The dragon louse's favorite thing to do is to cut people in two, just like slicing a watermelon!
Li Jiayu looked up at the Ghost Eye Mad Blade rushing towards her, her pupils contracting!
This is a race!
Please! Hurry up!
"Whoosh!" Just as Li Jiayu was about to be decapitated, a silver light suddenly ripped through the sky, shooting towards the Flying Dragon Lice. Life and death hung in the balance! The silver light, carrying violent power, blasted the upper half of the Flying Dragon Lice apart, leaving Li Jiayu dumbfounded. Chu Xiang, who had arrived late, was also stunned! But before Li Jiayu could even look at where the silver light had come from, immense pain overwhelmed him! This was because he was too surprised; distraction is the worst thing that can happen during a summoning. Therefore, Li Jiayu failed to summon the Hellfire Bull and instead suffered a backlash.
"Don't worry! It's alright!" Looking at Chu Xiang's strange expression, Honda was more surprised by his strength than by Li Jiayu's serious injuries. He glanced around and saw the octopus feigning death. He went to check it out; it wasn't the mortal wound from the original story. It had simply entered a state of suspended animation. "It seems this calamity was destined for you."
"Sister Honda... tear open the flower of the vine... peel out the life crystal core, and let Master eat it... perhaps it will be good for Master's health..." The octopus, who was pretending to be unconscious, 'woke up' at this very coincidental moment, and also coincidentally knew how to save Li Jiayu. You've already tricked your master like this, what can I say? And don't call me 'sister' anymore.
Honda walked up to the frozen corpse of the vine, quickly reached out his hands, grabbed both ends of the frozen bud, and tore the frozen flesh of the bud apart like tearing clothes.
Inside was a nearly formed, blue, transparent female body, but without the nourishment of the life source, it began to return to chaos, turning into a viscous liquid, with a glowing gem at its center.
Honda glanced at it curiously, then was immediately drawn to the gemstone near the heart. The key to Li Jiayu's gender transformation lies with you!
He reached out again and pierced the woman's heart, pulling out the glowing gem. Honda could feel the gem radiating a warm energy, as comfortable as a spring breeze!
A mid-level, second-tier crystal core, half spiritual and half life-related!
Just as Honda was about to feed the gem to Li Jiayu, suddenly! The liquid that was brewing within him flew towards Honda! Since there was no malice, Honda didn't stop it. The liquid slowly flowed down Honda's skin and merged into his body. Then, Honda felt a life force beginning to nourish his body. A small portion of the gem's energy also began to enter Honda's body, which greatly surprised him! Damn, this is incredible!
But then Honda breathed a sigh of relief; not much energy had been lost from the gem. He figured it should be enough for the female version of Li Jiayu!
The whole thing happened in less than two seconds, so Chu Xiang and the others didn't notice. Only the octopus, with a glint of cunning in its seemingly simple eyes! "Is that you? 'Goddess of Light,' is this another pawn you planted?" Suppressing its thoughts, the octopus resumed its foolish act!
Honda approached Li Jiayu and shoved the gem into her mouth. He then pressed an acupoint on her neck, and Li Jiayu instinctively swallowed the gem!
The first step of the Li Jiayu gender transformation project has been officially completed!
"Go! The person has already left! I'll stay and watch over him!" Honda reminded them, glancing at the still worried crowd.
"Yes!" Although they were worried about Li Jiayu, they still knew what was important. While Honda was asking a classmate to carry Li Jiayu to the thirteenth floor, Chu Xiang and the others also rescued the unconscious Xiao Wanqing and others from the dance hall. There were a total of eighty-eight women, and of course, they returned fifty-six dried male corpses that had been drained of their blood!
This night will be the longest night for the survivors on the thirteenth floor. The wind and rain lashed against the broken glass like whips, making a piercing and terrifying sound. No one knows how many people were awakened from nightmares, or how many people were so afraid that they couldn't sleep all night!
Their 'invincible' pillar of strength, Li Jiayu, was seriously injured, leaving them utterly insecure! Aside from that idiot octopus, Honda was now completely absorbed in his cultivation! Tonight, he figured he could probably break through to the third level.
