Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Evolution
Consoles in hand, Lin Feng barked out commands with sharp precision, while Li Ruoxi responded instantly, her movements perfectly complementing his strategy as if the two had been gaming partners for years.
“Lure them in, Ruoxi!”
“That’s too deep! Retreat! Retreat!”
“Here we go! You take the left… I’ll go right. In three… two… one… now!”
Their coordination was flawless. Every ambush was clean. Every escape was calculated.
From morning till night, the two played without pause, laughing, shouting, and completely dominating every match they entered, mercilessly bullying the mortals back on Earth.
“Ohhhh nooo! It’s JuniorYouSeekDeath again!”
“My precious rank is going to vanish!”
“I don’t want to get demoted anymore!”
Countless players cried out in despair as defeat screens filled their monitors, while Lin Feng and Li Ruoxi continued their unstoppable slaughter, enjoying every moment of it.
Finally, when the clock struck midnight, Lin Feng decided it was time to call it a day.
“Thanks, Ruoxi. I had fun. Let’s play again next weekend, okay? I need sleep,” he said, letting out a long, lazy yawn.
Stretching his arms above his head, he shuffled toward his bed like a zombie, every movement exaggeratedly slow as if the exhaustion of the day weighed on him.
He collapsed onto the mattress without a second thought, and within minutes, the soft rhythm of his gentle snores filled the room, a peaceful contrast to the chaos of their earlier gaming session.
Li Ruoxi, however, did not move.
She remained seated, her hands still gripping the game console, though it now felt heavier in her grasp.
Her eyes were fixed on Lin Feng’s sleeping form, watching the rise and fall of his chest with a mix of awe, admiration, and lingering shock.
Every memory of the earlier exchanging of pointers… the displays of skill, strategy, and that overwhelming surge of spiritual power flashed vividly through her mind, making her pulse quicken despite the calm night around her.
After a few long moments, she let out a deep, steadying breath.
Carefully, almost reverently, she placed the console on the floor and stood, her movements slow and deliberate, as if she was afraid to disturb Lin Feng’s sleep.
Then, in a flash, she vanished into the dark night, leaving only the faint trace of her presence behind.
Her path was clear in her mind. She had to return to the Li clan as quickly as possible.
Every step carried urgency, the cool night air rushing past her as she moved like a shadow, her thoughts consumed by what she had witnessed.
Within what felt like moments, she arrived at the chambers of her master, her heart still pounding from the memory of Lin Feng’s unimaginable strength.
“Midnight…” her master’s voice called from within, calm yet carrying a weight that demanded attention.
“Master… I have something important to report,” Li Ruoxi replied, her voice steady but tinged with awe.
“Creak!” The door opened slowly, and Li Ruoxi stepped inside the chamber.
As it closed softly behind her, her eyes immediately fell on the lone occupant seated before her.
Her master sat in a perfect lotus position, perfectly still, yet emanating an aura that seemed to bend the very air around her.
Shadows pooled and shifted around her form, black as ink but strangely alive, swirling in subtle, undulating patterns that made it impossible to discern where the master ended and the darkness began.
All that could be seen of her body were the elegant curves outlined by the dim candlelight, the rest concealed beneath the moving shadows that clung to her like a living cloak.
There was something almost otherworldly about the scene, a sense that Li Ruoxi was not merely entering a chamber, but stepping into the presence of a being far beyond mortal comprehension.
Li Ruoxi bowed low, her posture deep and unwavering, the weight of respect and fear pressing her down almost to the floor.
Her hands remained folded in front of her, her head lowered.
“Speak,” her master’s voice came, calm, deep, and unwavering.
It carried authority that seemed to ripple through the shadows themselves.
“I… I went to follow Master Lin Feng, just as you instructed me to, Master. I located him easily this morning, and he was in…” Li Ruoxi began, her voice measured and steady, recounting everything from the very beginning.
She described how she found Lin Feng, his demeanor, the way he carried himself, the subtle expressions that betrayed more than words ever could, and the precise way he fought.
When she reached the part about exchanging pointers with Lin Feng, her master’s voice interrupted her for the first time.
“Strange,” her master murmured, almost to herself. “I did not sense any anomaly or traces of a battle occurring in the desert outside this city. No spiritual turbulence, no lingering aura, nothing. It is likely that Lin Feng concealed all evidence of your clash. This indicates he is at least a Core Formation realm powerhouse or he possesses a treasure capable of masking such power. Continue, Midnight.”
Li Ruoxi nodded, swallowing the lump in her throat, and resumed her report with meticulous care.
She described every moment in detail: the attacks, the impenetrable defense, the incredible speed and precision of Lin Feng’s movements, and the way he had seemed to command the very air around him.
She recounted the pressure that had almost crushed her Dao heart, the flashes of blood-red aura, and the shocking moment when he had stopped her sword with a single finger.
“A single finger!” Li Ruoxi’s master noted inwardly, her mind registering it with incredulous judgment.
Finally, Li Ruoxi described the strange shooter game they had played afterward, how the hours had passed in laughter and strategy, and how even in that casual setting, Lin Feng’s calm authority and overwhelming skill had left her in awe.
When she finished, a long silence settled over the chamber.
The shadows around her master seemed to deepen and stretch, moving in slow, deliberate patterns that almost seemed alive.
Li Ruoxi could feel the weight of the moment pressing down on her, as if the room itself were acknowledging the gravity of what she had just recounted.
