Standing at the door was Gan Yuhan, wearing a sea-blue t-shirt, her long hair draped over her shoulders.
Baiyu was sipping tea in the room.
During this time, he completed the Forged Skin cultivation.
At this moment, his skin became more resilient, and ordinary blades couldn’t cut through it.
Moreover, he appeared more handsome and charismatic.
In one word, dashing.
"The college entrance exams are coming up soon. Everyone’s been training hard. Why are you looking for me?"
Gan Yuhan was silent for a while, then softly said:
"You’re very patient. It’s been two weeks already, and you haven’t mentioned my anomaly to anyone."
Baiyu raised his head, "Oh? You’re pretty good at pretending too. No one but me noticed your abnormality. Are you taking advantage of Yang Jinhua’s absence today to trouble me?"
Gan Yuhan closed the door:
"Neither you nor Jiang Xi reported me. Why? You both saw my corpse."
"I’m not sure who you are, nor do I know if reporting would work. Since even Qiong Jiu didn’t realize you’re disguised, I doubt anyone in Linjiang can detect it besides Erza... but I suspect you’re not from a different race."
"Intuition?" Gan Yuhan sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, "You must be curious about my identity..."
"I’m not curious, don’t try to get close."
Baiyu drew a clear line.
The modified R8 was already aimed at her forehead.
The current R8 could blast a huge hole through a concrete wall with a single shot, akin to smashing a watermelon with a sledgehammer.
"I am Gan Yuhan... Have you heard of Soul Awakening?" Gan Yuhan said expressionlessly, "I am an Ancient Martial Artist. Before the Radiant Calendar, there were only Ancient Martial Artists."
Baiyu’s eyes narrowed.
"The current Extraordinary, Mechanical Transformation, Magic Energy, etc., only appeared after the Radiant Calendar began.
Back in our era, there were only Martial Artists.
In our time, there were no electrical appliances, no steam engines."
Gan Yuhan said coldly, "My civilization existed before the Radiant Calendar, and the history before it is severed, unknown to anyone."
Baiyu did not move his hand, "I’ve already told you, I’m not interested in this. Are you sure you’re Gan Yuhan?"
"Without a doubt, Gan Yuhan, awakened to the memories of my past life."
Gan Yuhan spoke naturally.
Baiyu pulled the trigger directly.
The deafening gunshot echoed in the room, and Gan Yuhan dodged five meters away in a flash, clinging to the window like a cat, the bullet grazing her left arm, leaving a large gash.
"Trying to fool me with a few words? Really trying to pull a fast one here?"
Baiyu flicked the gun’s muzzle.
Unable to strike effectively, he rallied his Blood Qi and charged forward like a tank.
"Forged Skin at First Forging, you really dare to make a move." At this moment, Gan Yuhan’s ferocity was triggered; two beast ears emerged from her head, her limbs transformed, and a black cat tail extended from her back.
She turned out to be a Cat Demon.
With an agile posture, she almost instantly reached Baiyu’s flank, punching towards his temple.
"Myriad Beasts Battle Technique: Dragon Tail Swing."
Baiyu’s muscles emitted a series of crackling sounds.
Blood Qi rapidly circulated within his body, the power of five Qi Veins fully activated, channeling all his force into his right leg and sweeping sideways.
A terrifying force came crashing down.
"You’re not First Forging! Five Meridians Open, Third Forging?"
Gan Yuhan exclaimed in surprise, her hands instinctively guarding her waist. The blow kicked at her directly, sending her flying sideways.
She flew backwards four meters.
Her body crossed most of the room, slammed into the wall, creating a loud thud, the wall cracked with numerous fissures, dented into a round pit.
Blood flowed freely from her mouth.
Gan Yuhan slowly stood up from the ground, "How is this possible? You clearly started First Forging only two weeks ago, Qiong Jiu gave you the subsequent cultivation direction for the Core Technique, and now you’ve reached Third Forging level after experiencing Blood and Qi Overflow three times?"
Baiyu clenched his fist, "Third Forging? Is that a concept? But Blood Qi Overflow, indeed, I’ve completed it three times within two weeks because I train harder than anyone."
After all, thirty-six hours with only an hour of sleep, the rest constantly energized.
Anyone would cultivate swiftly.
Gan Yuhan wiped the blood clean, "That move just now already exploded most of your Blood Qi, can you still fight?"
"Personally, my recovery ability has always been quite strong."
Baiyu took a deep breath.
If it wasn’t for recovering Blood Qi, he wouldn’t bother arguing with Gan Yuhan.
During this conversation.
Blood Qi filled his body again.
With hardly any pause.
He stepped forward twice like a descending fierce tiger, Blood Qi amassed on his fists, punching down heavily.
"Great Ape King Fist!"
Gan Yuhan was smashed into the corner, her left arm’s bones shattered piece by piece.
How could there be such a freakish recovery ability?
Just like on the Legendary Ship!
Even more freakish than on the Legendary Ship!
"No wonder Qiong Jiu couldn’t detect your anomaly, no wonder you dare to roam freely on Erza, you’re actually a Sub-human."
Looking at the fully revealed Gan Yuhan before him, Baiyu’s eyes narrowed.
Sub-humans are forbidden to practice Martial Dao or learn Mysticism in the East Prosperity Imperial.
Being caught would lead to severe punishment.
Most Sub-humans naturally show signs of Beastification, easily distinguishable.
However, a small portion of Sub-humans can naturally hide Beastification traits, only revealing during an all-out burst; the higher the cultivation, the stronger the concealment ability.
No wonder he thought Yuan Chun City’s top was pathetically weak.
Turned out, the opponent couldn’t expose their full power.
Now that it’s revealed, the signs of Beastification are quite obvious.
Gan Yuhan’s gaze swept around; she had underestimated the opponent’s power, rising from First Forging to Third Forging in just two weeks - is this person a monster?
Now she must figure out how to survive.
If she hadn’t revealed her Sub-human form, dodging that bullet would be impossible.
But now exposed, escaping, there’s no place in the world for her.
Not allowed to cultivate!
"Since you’re a Sub-human, that explains the points I couldn’t understand."
Baiyu continued pressing her, "Cat Demon Race? A Rare type of Cat Race Sub-human, belonging to the Royal Family of Cat Race, possessing incredible recovery power."
Gan Yuhan bit her lips tight, Blood Qi brewing in secret.
"Don’t bother with small tricks. We can negotiate a deal. Although you’re a Sub-human, there’s no grudge between us. I was merely suspicious that you were taken over."
Baiyu looked at her, "Now that you’re normal, there’s no need for me to kill you."
Initially, she planned to fight Baiyu to the death.
Upon hearing this, Gan Yuhan’s Blood Qi eased, "Really?"
"Yes, but I have to understand why you’re a Sub-human and can be a student at Yuan Chun City."
Baiyu brushed the dust off his clothes, "The Cat Race has long been secluded, though subservient to the East Prosperity Imperial, rarely entering its true core.
As the Emperor in the bloodline of the Cat Race, the Cat Demon Clan, is even rarer.
What do you intend to do?"
Gan Yuhan lowered her guard slightly.
You can clearly see her injuries from Baiyu’s kick earlier have started to heal progressively.
The overpowering recovery ability of the Cat Demon Race!
Yet Baiyu remains unconcerned.
The opponent is indeed still Gan Yuhan.
Even revealing her Sub-human form, she is not his match.
