How Am I Still Alive?-Chapter 1360 - 1346 Reason

"Boom!"

Inside the courtyard, the always bustling "gymnasium" had undergone repeated "expansions," now rivaling the size of a bird’s nest stadium.

At this moment, deep into the night, it was often the most leisure time for professionals... The other timeline’s "midnight workout" had become reality here.

"... Another round."

Lu Ping’an, having been embedded in the wall, shook his body slightly before drilling back out.

Facing him across the way was a visibly frustrated Eve.

"... I want to sleep."

"Sleep? Sleep, my foot! With your abilities, Lu Ping’an has no right to keep you occupied this long. You should’ve reached Quasi-God status long ago. It’s your own laziness and lack of ambition that’s holding you back..."

The kitten, with a stern face, scolded her ’older sister’ who was three heads taller, yet the retort she dared not utter.

Lu Ping’an sought advancement; he had felt the edge of a higher level. He needed real combat to polish his progression, but the recent training with Chris... Well, there was growth, but having been transformed into chunks and patties in various ways was enough; he needed a change.

On the other hand, Big Cat, having a body capable of going out... mainly due to a change in mentality, grew increasingly intolerable of the two ’younger sisters.’

From the gymnasium stands, where Fei’er pretended to sleep after a bout of exhaustion... Chris was lenient with the innocent Eve, but for her ’rebellious’ elder daughter Fei’er, she personally descended into the arena for guidance.

In theory, Chris’s "puppet" should not have been at Rule-level, and Eve was no ordinary Strongman among the Rule-level...but clearly, that did not stop Chris from beating Eve as if a mother would discipline her daughter.

"Weakness, over these years, you’ve actually been regressing..."

Perhaps, that was also a form of love... At least Lu Ping’an watched very seriously, applauding meanwhile, only to be glared at by several pairs of eyes.

By the way, now both sisters were wearing fluffy fake cat ears... Having mocked Chris and caught red-handed, they couldn’t remove them until Big Cat’s anger subsided.

The peculiar part was that with the ’girls/kittens’ wearing cat ears walking close to Lu Ping’an... His reputation grew stranger still; the more the story of the Cat-runner spread, the more he sounded like a Cat-lover.

"Lu Ping’an, if you can’t handle it, then switch out..."

The gymnasium was frequently at full capacity, especially during midnight when day workers trained. Many supplemented their time after accelerating at the Time Stele, training until dawn for a brief sleep, then waking to resume their regular jobs.

This timetable, which even 007 might envy, was just routine for the courtyard’s core combat power group... On average, two to three times more training time was one of the reasons they easily outclassed their peers.

Looking at the disheartened Eve, who had no desire to fight, Lu Ping’an sighed and leapt onto the stands ahead of her.

Even so, Big Cat managing the kittens, what stance did outsiders have to intervene... Now, even getting close to a few cats meant strange looks from the group members.

"Damn, even Meow can’t find a cat anymore, can’t even find anyone for a cat-scratch these days..."

A lady does not stand under a collapsing wall; when crisis hits, Lei Shuiyun Meow always fled fastest.

When Chris, the Big Cat, entered her active period, her misfortune wasn’t limited to her two sisters. Meow, as her disciple, was also a primary target for discipline.

"How’s it going, have you caught the feeling yet..."

At this time, when Lu Ping’an was caught by Chris, he remembered that in a sense, he was also her "disciple"... Though the training boosted experience rapidly, Lu Ping’an had had enough of being flattened into pancakes.

"A little more time is needed..."

Lu Ping’an was attempting a breakthrough as both a Sixth-tier Fighter and Runner.

After having acquired vast knowledge of the Moon God Path, the "Mirror" was already half-dissolved, and Lu Ping’an could vaguely sense the roads above it.

Maybe he had only average accumulation in this area; or perhaps his high aspirations made the targets too difficult. Even with combat refinement, his progress was delicate.

"Both professions have reached the threshold; ascending to Sixth-tier is just a thought away, but I always feel like something is missing..."

It was the same problem, Lu Ping’an’s advancements were relatively easy, but he had to consider the long term. Sixth-tier was a crucial junction into Rule-level, and Lu Ping’an had to plan for the future.

"... I don’t have a powerful Battle-profession like a Swordsman. Besides the control advantage ’Fighter’ offers over the body, I need it to compensate for my combat power."

"My biggest weakness has always been mobility. On battlefields above Rule-level, mere speed is inconsequential. I need a more robust and unpredictable movement capability."

Amidst other professionals’ satisfied attitude of ’just advance will do,’ Lu Ping’an was a decidedly finicky client.

Especially with the fusion of "Mirror fragments" for the Runner, the fundamental Traits Lu Ping’an expected included abilities like spatial movement, spatial rupture, and spatial binding.

"How about I tailor-make a Fighter profession for you that tears space barehanded, solving both problems in one go?" Big Cat said, smiling.

"Can you do that?" Lu Ping’an asked in eager anticipation; it indeed seemed the perfect solution.

"Sure... just book a room on your inn’s side, lie down, and you’ll have everything in the dream."

The repudiated "client" could only sigh again and continue his extra training.

He had actually made a private request to the library...which returned with an eerie response, "An unreal and unachievable thing cannot be made."

Lu Ping’an surmised it was likely his lack of "accumulation" in that area; naturally, the library couldn’t tailor-make a powerful profession without the necessary material.

But these days, he spent much time clashing with the Moon Goddess Knights, learning and mimicking their abilities... From the results, Lu Ping’an’s rate and skill at defeating Moon Goddess Knights improved, but his own Moon Goddess Knight progression was quite delicate.

"... Forget it, let’s talk to the Moon God."

To untie the bell, the bell ringer is needed; Lu Ping’an already had a target in mind.

Due to work, he had already made contact with one of Red Star’s Moon Gods, and her response was incredibly eager...

"She seems in a hurry, can you find out exactly why?"

Seeing such a Big Shot so anxious, Lu Ping’an felt he needed to know more.

And through certain channels, Lu Ping’an indeed received the reason, one so pragmatic he couldn’t comment...

"The Gemini Moon God they arranged for her is an unascended Quasi-God, said to be the brother of a High level from Red Star, and originated as an Eunuch Singer..."

Well, if I were in a similar situation, being observed for countless eons, I too would consider fleeing.
