Dream Travel

Chapter 143: IQ is not a good way to exchange for strength
"Try sparring with the trainees first."

"Wait, this is a bit bullying."

Denise smiled and said, "I will let the weakest trainee fight you."

There seems to be something wrong with your understanding? Bai Mu corrected him: "Isn't that even more bullying?"

"Then fight with me."

"...Are you so belligerent?"

Denise stared at the white screen: "You are different, let me see how many seconds you can last now."

Bai Mu put down the weapon box and took out Meng Shi from it... He closed the box directly and exchanged a piece of candy for a training sword from the trainee girl.

"I'm different now than I was before. Before, you could count in seconds, but now you should show me more respect and count in minutes!"

Bai Mu saw the watch in the new base of the Great Sword. Denise also used the technical unit of second when she talked about it, so he was not worried that Denise would not be able to understand what a minute was.

"One minute?"

boom--

Bai Mu slashed the big sword in his hand to the ground, and the stone floor exploded: "Come and fight!"

"What happened? The training ground is so quiet?" The passing greatswords looked at the training ground in confusion. Not all of the greatswords currently live here.

They will team up with people from the Processing Bureau, which is somewhat similar to the operation mode of the previous Great Sword and Agent, but the contrast between the two is obvious.

The people in the processing bureau pay more attention to the safety of the greatswords' operations. After all, this is an important guarantee for making the Dream Source safer. It is difficult to increase the number, and of course they will not use the greatsword warriors as consumables.

The greatswords who left the base are clearing out the remaining demons and have begun to contact some awakened ones.

However, the progress in dealing with the awakened ones was not fast, mainly because when dealing with the awakened ones, most greatswords required a high degree of release of demonic energy, which could easily cause them to awaken.

In this matter, the processing bureau customized a strict plan for them, and the greatswords only needed to proceed step by step.

First, clear out the remaining demons and create a safe area that is not affected by awakened people and demons.

Then concentrate on developing yourself, strive to reach the so-called "semi-awakened" level, and then officially go to war with the awakened ones.

Before this, they had to focus on defense. During the defensive phase, as long as the number of awakened people did not increase, the enemy would be weakened.

They will only become stronger as time goes by.

The people from the processing bureau were not just talking nonsense. Looking at the running steam engine, the medieval sword-wielding village girls couldn't find many words to refute.

What's more, there is nothing wrong with the plan customized by the people in the processing bureau. It develops steadily and is people-oriented. In comparison, the previous organization really didn't care about personnel.

"Let's go and take a look. We can't let the trainees get complacent just because the training intensity is low." Another greatsword nodded, and they walked towards the training ground together.

As someone who has been through this, I know the importance of laying a solid foundation.

But after arriving at the training ground, they saw Bai Mu: "Huh? When did he come back... and what's with this demonic energy?"

The greatswords who arrived felt that Bai Mu had been transformed into a demon, but it was Denise who was standing opposite him, which prevented them from being too impulsive and picking up their swords to help Bai Mu get rid of it.

Looking closely at the white curtain, it seems more like... them?
"You go first."

"Wait." Bai Mu, who was about to take action, took out two pistols and a Lingshu firearm from his clothes under the gaze of Denise.

"..."

He almost fired a shot. Although Denise had performed the bullet splitting technique, it did not affect Bai Mu's ability to start with American Iai.

Returning to the original position, Bai Mu's eyes turned silver under Denise's gaze. At this stage, she looked more like a normal greatsword.

The Dajian and trainees who were watching were stunned.

"What's going on? He suddenly becomes one of us?"

Isn't it said that men's greatswords are prone to problems?

Facing Bai Mu, whose demonic energy had been released to the silver-eyed stage, Denise remained calm. She chuckled and said, "Violent demonic energy, are you really not going to awaken?"

"It shouldn't be." As Bai Mu spoke, his eyes changed from silver eyes to golden eyes, and the flowing energy became more violent. This time he did not restrict the demonic energy too much.

In the past, no one could control himself... probably no one could control him, but in this place, can he still do anything?

"If I really lose control, don't kill me!"

Bai Mu couldn't suppress his violent impulse and rushed towards Denise with his sword. He didn't use the imperial weapon or the Dream Erosion Greatsword, but fought with his own strength.

There was a sharp sound of metal collision, and Denise blocked Bai Mu's attack with a confident smile on her face.

Bai Mu's demonic aura was extremely violent, stronger than any awakened person she had encountered. However, the overly violent demonic aura was actually a weakness in front of her.

She could accurately sense and read the flow of demonic energy, thereby judging the target's movements and predicting their next move. Coupled with her own extraordinary reflexes, Bai Mu posed little threat to her. Unless he could achieve this level without demonic energy, otherwise... eh?

After exchanging a few moves with Bai Mu, Denise showed some surprise. Bai Mu's demonic aura became more violent as time went by.

The violent demonic energy was like a ignited flame, enveloping him. In this situation, the flow of demonic energy on the white curtain became blurred.

The river that can guide the flow of water has overflowed and turned into an ocean. Although there is still an undercurrent, without the river to determine the direction of flow, the reading of the demonic energy is not so clear.

However, as long as there is demonic energy, there will be traces to follow, and her greatest strength lies in her extraordinary reaction ability.

The sword swung at high speed to intercept Bai Mu's attack. Denise was curious about what Bai Mu had experienced in the past few months and why he had changed so much.

In her normal state, Bai Mu could actually count in minutes with full confidence.

Not only that, after being affected by the violent demonic energy, although Bai Mu was about to lose his mind, he showed no signs of awakening.

He still maintained his human appearance, but his body was stimulated by the demonic energy, becoming stronger, with blood vessels bulging hideously.

The problem is that Bai Mu is still too stable. She blocked Bai Mu's attack, and a strong impact erupted from the place where the weapons clashed, making a noise that made people's ears ring.

One of Denise's arms released the demonic energy and blocked Bai Mu's attack.

Her gaze shifted to Bai Mu's crotch. Well, there was no change. It was really too stable.

Great swords are easy to awaken. When they release their demonic energy, they are prone to strong physiological impulses, and they awaken when they can't suppress them.

According to the records she had seen in the organization, the first generation of male greatswords awakened collectively because of this.

Bai Mu did not encounter such problems when releasing demonic energy at a high level. Isn't this stable enough?

Their great swordsmen do not have this problem. Anyone can release more than 50% of the demonic energy at will, so they don't have to be hesitant to release the demonic energy during the battle.

As the battle went on, Denise gradually released her demonic energy, her eyes turned golden, and her face began to change. The intensity of the attack Bai Mu faced suddenly increased.

In terms of strength, he was not bad, but Denise was too fast. Bai Mu maintained the little bit of rationality and tried to find her flaws, but every attack was intercepted by her in advance, which made him a little annoyed.

The little bit of consciousness was swallowed by the increasingly violent demonic energy...

"Ah! My king's power!!" Bai Mu howled after swinging his sword in the air. His consciousness suddenly became much clearer and he could no longer feel the existence of his right arm.

He could accept having an extra arm, but he certainly didn't want to have one less.

What is in excess can be removed, and what is missing can be gone.

A trainee watching the fight caught Bai Mu's arm. She squeezed the arm, which still had some slight reaction, and asked her companions in confusion, "Can you still move your hand after it's been cut off?"

"That shouldn't be possible, right?"

But Bai Mu's severed arm was still twisting, like a gecko's broken tail, showing its tenacious vitality.

"Awake already? I'm going to chop off your legs too."

"No, that's not necessary." Bai Mu grinned. The violent demonic energy greatly improved him, but it also made his brain less flexible.

When Denise suddenly counterattacked, he sensed the abnormality of the air flow, but his violent spirit ignored this abnormality.

When dealing with an expert, one must find a balance against the violence brought about by the release of demonic energy.

If used well, it can enhance the fighting spirit and maintain a strong desire to fight. If used excessively, it can easily be exploited by masters. Unless his fighting instinct is strong enough to suppress the masters, it is not effective to exchange IQ for strength.

After taking a breath, Bai Mu took the arm from the trainee who came over. The twisting arm calmed down in his hand.

However, watching your arm twisting in someone else's hand is quite terrifying even in a horror movie.

When Bai Mu touched the arm, he knew why the broken arm was twisting. There was still violent demonic energy in the broken arm, but after losing its master, this part of the demonic energy was completely out of control and stimulated the arm.

After he touched the severed arm, the demonic energy in the arm returned to normal. After all, the total amount of demonic energy in the arm was not as much as his own, so it was impossible for him to take over.

The strengthening of the body by the demonic energy and the restorative power brought by the dream-eroded ingredients allowed the still vital arm to begin to recover as soon as it came into contact with the wound.

Bai Mu's lost arm felt restored. Although his arm was a little weak, he could use it without any problem.

While he was checking the condition of his arm, the greatswordsmen watching the fight gave Baimu a close and intense look, and some even took action!

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Bai Mu glanced at the greatsword warrior who was attacking him. The opponent had one hand on Bai Mu's chest, and the other greatswords that were pointing towards his lower body were not so "friendly" either.

The sword in hand was full of surprise. "There are no surgical scars. Do you want to split his head open to confirm?"

"Are you crazy?"

"Just a joke, we are curious about how you became like this." The greatsword master looked at Bai Mu.

Bai Mu exposed the organization's conspiracy, making him very popular among the great sword group. Now he also has demonic aura, as if he is the same as them, and they feel closer to Bai Mu.
