Nightmare’s Call

There was nothing but silence in the group…And just as Pei Lin was about to close the chat, suddenly a sentence popped up.

“Actually, I’m willing to help you, but my training is swordsmanship and not boxing. And, I’m not sure if I can actually help you because the rules between worlds are different.” — Holy Light Shines Upon You.

“We can talk privately” — Giving Hope.

The Spectral Light naturally had a private chat function, but this function will cover the entire chat interface.

Once she switches over, she can only see the private chat interface in her view, and could not see any history from the public chat.

As this switching method was relatively complicated, so everyone did not really used it.

But at this key moment, it was natural to have a private conversation if she wanted someone to teach her a secret training technique.

As if she had caught onto the only strand of hope left, a glimmer of light lit up in Pei Lin’s eyes.

She quickly stood up from the wall, and after some tinkering, managed to change the chat interface to a private chat with Holy Light Shines Upon You.

“Is it really possible?” — Giving Hope.

“It should be possible. My training regime requirements is not that strict on your physical attributes, but it will be much more difficult. After all, if you want to break through your limit, you need to put in an effort beyond any ordinary person.” — Holy Light Shines Upon You.

“Then… what do I need give up?” — Giving Hope.

Pei Lin was not a fool, she had been pleading for so long and everyone ignored her.

Not that Holy Light had suddenly popped up, if she did not have something in her that was worth something, it was impossible for someone to teach her for nothing.

“You should know that, this is a system exclusive to me. In the same vein, if you want to learn it, you need to be my disciple.” — Holy Light Shines Upon You.

“…” — Giving Hope.

Pei Lin was a little dazed.

She had thought that Holy Light was a normal person like her, with a normal birth, normal traits and a normal life.

But it seems like… that was not the case.

And the seemingly unremarkable Holy Light had suddenly became mysterious. “I understand what you mean.” — Giving Hope.

“Then, can I join you as your disciple?” — Giving Hope.

And Holy Light’s image in her mind had suddenly changed into an old-school powerful person that had some age to him, but was still had interest in new things.

“Whether you can join me as a disciple depends on you. It’s not a simple matter to be my disciple. You need to show more qualities that would make one feel that you are worth the investiment.” — Holy Light Shines Upon You.

No one would be nice to you for no reason in this world.

Pei Lin had actually knew of this very, very long ago.

Aside from family and the rare few saints, everyone revolved around the laws of mutual interest.

“I understand…” — Giving Hope.

Pei Lin could tell that Holy Light was probably a powerful existence, while he may not be a big boss, but he was definitely stronger than her.

In a situation where no one could help her, Holy Light’s olive branch was her only hope.

“I will show you what I can achieve!” — Giving Hope.

“Alright, I’ll confer you a basic training regime, after that, pass me the detailed data of your body perimeters. I need to tailor-make an training lifestyle that is unique to you.” — Holy Light Shines Upon You.

“Understood!” — Giving Hope.

Pei Lin’s anxious heart had finally found relief.

The pressure that had been piling upon her at this moment seemed to had a cathartic relief, and she felt much, much more comfortable now.

And outside her bedroom.

In her parent’s bedroom.

Pei Shangyu stood coldly facing the window, and looked at the flow of people outside.

“Linlin seemed to have encountered something recently.” A flash of worry went past his eyes.

“Probably some youthful troubles. She is that age after all… But I have no idea which boy that catched her fancy.” Her mother, Zhuang Qing smiled.

“I don’t think so. Perhaps that incident had affected her?” Pei Shangyu frowned.

“She seemed to be at peace now. Ah, didn’t we sent someone to get rid of those damned Corpsedemons? Now that her life had returned to normal, and I had also sent someone to check on her at school, and everything is normal.” Zhuang Qing said with a hint of surprise. “What made you think in that direction?”

“I’m not that I’m purposely thinking in that direction, but Linlin is just a normal person. This is both fortunate and unfortunate for her as she inherited half of my ordinary human bloodline.” Pei Shangyu said helplessly.

“No worries. We have Pengpeng around, and there’s a heir to the family, so just let Linlin live a normal life for the rest of her life. We have the strength to protect her.” Zhuang Qing said.

“I just hope so…” Pei Shangyu, as a senior echelon of the Daywalker Council, had both power and influence in abundance, and was one of the top people in the council.

But no matter how much authority or strength he had, it was useless to fix his daughter’s psychological problems.

“If Linlin behaves again, then we’ll just see a psychologist.” Finally, Pei Shangyu said.

“Your daughter is old enough already yet you are thinking of this and that.” Zhuang Qing, as a mother was always carefree, and felt her husband was fussing over nothing.

Pei Lin had no idea what her parents were discussing.

She had never though that her quick rescue after she was abducted was due to her parents pulling strings to mobilize a powerful force behind the scenes.

One had to note that the Daywalker Council was generally weaker than the Nightprowler League.

But for a Daywalker Corpsedemon to so conveniently pass by the day she was kidnapped, and not just that, the daywalker had taken the initiative to break into a fight, and killed many of the nightprowlers.

And even more coincidentally, the usually weaker Daywalker Council had one of their few powerful elites that was stronger than the nightprowlers pass by.

All of these coincidences was just a chain reaction caused by Pei Lin’s abduction.

Yet Pei Lin did not know anything, and right after she received the basic swordsmanship training regime from Lin Sheng, she quickly went out of her room, and greeted her parents before stopping a taxi and went straight to one of the martial arts gym nearby.

There was no individual swordsmanship hall in this area, neither do they have any individual boxing hall, all they had were martial arts halls.

And these martial arts halls are places for people to freely intereact, and most of them were martial arts enthusiasts who were there to train.

At times, events would be held with large prize pools that attracted many professional and non-professional participants.

And the martial arts here, aside from striking at vitals, everything was permited.

What Pei Lin wanted to do was to find a quiet enough spot and started her basic training regime under Lin Sheng’s guidance.

And booking a single person training room in the martial arts hall was the best option.

Not only there were good nutritionist there, there were also various professional testing equipments, and even if she got injured she would be able to receive emergency treatment at the first moment to prevent the spread of the injury.
