My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 79 - 73: On-the-Spot Compression Training

But that’s just talk.

Chen Lusi actually knows very well.

In this environment, calmness is certainly temporary.

No matter if the owner of that voice is bluffing, or whether the time inside here flows consistently with the outside.

But there’s one thing the opponent definitely didn’t lie about.

And that is—there definitely won’t be any rescue in a short period.

Even Wu You and Xia Panqiu must have thought of what he could think of.

Without rescue, staying in such an environment for a long time, Chen Lusi can’t guarantee he won’t start imagining things and won’t collapse.

The main issue is there’s no light at all.

If there was even a sliver of light, Chen Lu Si could use his experience to get through it.

With enemies around, he could even trick himself into thinking it’s a game.

But with nothing at all, as someone who’s not professionally trained, doing nothing would eventually lead him to wonder if the time flow here matches the outside.

And as time goes on, the answer will inevitably turn into ’yes’.

This might lead to his collapse.

Although the likelihood is not too high, he can’t gamble.

So just lying there won’t work... he must save himself.

The question is, in this pitch-black environment... how to save himself?

Chen Lusi thought for a moment and slowly closed his eyes.

Although he couldn’t see whether they were closed or open, for the sake of some ritualistic sense, he chose to close his eyes.

The surroundings were very quiet.

Many things forgotten by Chen Lusi started to reappear in his mind.

Chen Lusi remembered many old things, mostly related to Lin Ying and her sister.

Of course, there were also many new things.

For example... the thread tangled around his hand that morning.

Also the stone thrower during his first mission that saved him from urgent danger.

Back then.

What did Wu You say again?

The Anomaly Realm was about to collapse.

Chen Lusi reopened his eyes, then lay on the ground, raising his left hand as well.

Concentrate.

... Wisps of spirit swirled in his palm.

Chen Lusi could sense it, but still couldn’t see it.

Upon realizing this.

Chen Lusi thought for a moment and didn’t immediately fully absorb the surrounding spirit, but instead gently clenched his fist, hiding the newly gathered spirit ball in his palm.

Since that person said if he cried they’d chat... they must be always watching here.

And Chen Lusi wasn’t sure exactly how much spirit he needed to absorb to cause this Anomaly Realm to collapse, and was equally unsure if the opponent had any countermeasures.

After all, by all appearances, this man-made controlled Anomaly Realm seemed to be much stronger than the stone thrower at that time.

Moreover, the most important thing is, if he absorbs spirit with full force, reaching the control limit and... the Anomaly Realm hasn’t collapsed, he would be very passive.

After all, he still doesn’t know how to handle that massive spirit ball.

Swallowing it is definitely out of the question.

He’d explode.

Especially considering he can’t see right now.

So the only feasible method left... is to practice compression on the spot.

Absorbing the spirit as smoothly and covertly as possible while keeping the spirit ball small enough to be held and hidden, then rely on that final blow to destroy the Anomaly Realm.

... What ZIP.

Having just made fun of Xia Panqiu, he found himself pulling such a stunt.

Sure enough.

Retribution does exist.

Chen Lusi thought of this and couldn’t help but chuckle.

But this way... it sure won’t be boring, after all, there’s something to do, though it’s pretty tough.

He relaxed his clenched left hand and started absorbing spirit continuously, compressing as he absorbed.

But he didn’t lower his right hand either.

Even though it’s spirit energy, he couldn’t see it, which bothered him greatly.

This didn’t feel like his inability to see in the space he’s in... more like something was wrong with his body, or something was blocking him.

Similar to ghostly vision obstruction.

But he just confirmed there was indeed nothing in front or behind him.

He’s lying down now, so he’s even more certain.

Therefore... he also has to prepare for not being in the Anomaly Realm.

The presence holding the black umbrella, also had a thread hanging above their head.

And Chen Lusi still remembers the fine thread tied to his right hand when he woke up that morning.

Same origin?

Perhaps... he could try searching for it?

With this in mind.

Chen Lusi activated his Authority Ability with his right hand, distinctly feeling the twist of flesh into a blade below his right elbow.

He surveyed around but saw no threads; everything was still pitch black.

However.

Faintly, uncertain if it was an illusion.

Chen Lusi could sense something swaying gently in the void.

"... To the left?"

Chen Lusi ’looked’ toward the left, while concentrating and compressing the spirit, maintaining his right hand in the Transforming Blade state, slowly closing his eyes.

...

In the car.

Xia Panqiu slowly opened her eyes.

She felt the sunlight directly on her face, tucked the hair disheveled by the wind behind her ear, and softly said, "Nothing’s chasing us... it seems the opponent can only block at the spot, having no better solution against fast-moving targets."

"That’s good."

Wu You breathed a sigh of relief, "We’re about to arrive, get ready."

"I know." Xia Panqiu nodded, then opened the glove compartment, taking out a 193.

Because the bag containing firearms was on Chen Lusi.

This modern weapon was the only one left.

And compared to Wu You, who’s better at positioning assistance, she’s more suited to hold it.

Xia Panqiu pulled out the handgun’s magazine, checked it, then reloaded, taking a deep breath, couldn’t help but think of Chen Lusi again.

Wondering how he was doing...

Indeed, she couldn’t empathize with Chen Lusi’s situation.

Because at this moment, the two seemed to be in different worlds.

And soon.

Xia Panqiu couldn’t even think about Chen Lusi.

Because as Wu You made a sharp turn.

They saw the building where Celestial Strategy Trading was located.

The highest floor of the building, with that astonishingly huge hole, was reflected in their pupils.

And the violent spiritual power fluctuations emanating from above made their skin crawl.

There was definitely trouble.

"Wu You."

Xia Panqiu looked at the empty building, calling out to Wu You in the driver’s seat.

"I know! But we can’t go upstairs."

Wu You immediately left the building, heading in the direction of Qinyuan Primary School, while saying, "Look ahead!"

Xia Panqiu looked away to the front, gasping again.

Outside Qinyuan Primary School.

Over a dozen security department vehicles were overturned on the ground, amidst the chaos, faint moaning and piercing sirens sounded intermittently.

Eight people wearing bronze masks were preparing to enter the school.

As the distance closed.

Those people obviously noticed Wu You and Xia Panqiu too, and stopped, turning their faces toward the rapidly approaching car.

Their leader seemed to sigh.

"... I’m going to crash through!"

Wu You shouted, and before Xia Panqiu could react, slammed the accelerator to the floor.

Roaring sound erupted suddenly!

Tires scraping on ground!

The car spewing black exhaust, like a rampaging steel beast heading straight for the eight men!

In an instant, reaching right in front of them!

The leader watched the car charging toward them, quietly standing there, watching the two inside.

As the car was about to hit him.

In seemingly frozen time.

A burly man suddenly flashed to the forefront, looking at the car approaching, directly raised arms thicker than normal thighs, opened palms, and shouted, "Stabilize!!"
