Simultaneous time travel: But our system is out of sync!

Looking at Ashina Jiro sleeping like a baby, Lin Bei curled his lip and threw him directly to the ground.

Having already faced death once, I don't care about such a minor bump or bruise.

Moreover, now that the initial emotion has subsided, Lin Bei suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

That's over a hundred units of yang energy.

It's enough to strengthen his body to bring his muscle strengthening progress to 20%.

Moreover, the person she saved was a rough and uncouth man, so she could neither repay his kindness with her body nor become his confidante.

However, once Lin Bei does something, even if it's wrong, he won't regret it.

So after throwing Ashina Jiro to the ground to let him recover slowly, Lin Bei began to deal with the flies from the musketeer squad.

What followed was a one-sided massacre.

These World War I-era muskets were only so effective against ordinary people.

But it was of little use against Lin Bei.

He didn't even bother to dodge.

Under the influence of the Blazing Sun Release, the musket bullets could at most break Lin Bei's skin before being firmly locked in place by his muscles.

So when faced with the musket attack, Lin Bei simply raised his arms to protect his still-weak face and relatively vulnerable eyes, and charged towards the musket like a human tank.

"Click, click..."

A series of sharp, cracking sounds followed.

A group of musketeers and men in black were all like toys broken by mischievous children, their joints and bones broken, piled up and tangled together haphazardly.

It seems somewhat cruel.

However, Lin Bei still possessed some humanitarian spirit.

Before bundling them together, Lin Bei thoughtfully broke their necks first.

They were not allowed to slowly die in despair and agony.

After dealing with the musketeers, Lin Bei's somewhat distressed mood immediately eased considerably.

No wonder the book says not to build your happiness on the suffering of others.

Lin Bei had previously thought that the author was teaching people to have empathy.

However, looking at it now...

The author of this book is truly shrewd.

How could he know this if he had never derived pleasure from building upon others?

This is a classic case of someone wanting to have it all to themselves.

After dealing with the musketeers, Lin Bei controlled his muscles to begin shaking rapidly.

"Jingle bells..."

The densely packed iron beads were squeezed out and fell to the ground, weighing at least a pound.

This is Lin Bei's situation. If it were an ordinary person, going to the doctor would likely result in acute metal poisoning.

As for the minor wounds on his body caused by the musket, Lin Bei simply ignored them.

There's no need to waste your yang energy on a mere superficial injury.

That's right, this is Lin Bei's unique way of being frugal after high consumption.

This is an old problem.

Before he struck it rich in his past life, he indulged in extravagance at the beginning of the month, but had to be careful with his money at the end of the month.

Lin Bei was unaware that his actions had frightened the enemy.

Or perhaps the enemy in the base is plotting something big for him.

As he continued deeper into the base, he was surprised to find that there were no longer any large-scale ambushes or obstacles like before.

However, Lin Bei was happy with this arrangement. Although these ambushes posed no real threat to him, they were still quite annoying.

Lin Bei had a premonition that he was about to uncover the base's most core secrets.

Taking advantage of this brief moment of calm, Lin Bei began to recount his gains from the battle.

Before coming here, he had discovered that activating the Blazing Sun Release for an extended period of time and engaging in combat would allow his body to adapt to the true fire of the sun more quickly.

In his battle with Ashina Jiro, he had been in the Blazing Sun Release state for most of the time, and even activated it to five-thousandths of its full power in the end, in addition to the life-or-death struggle.

This accelerated his body's adaptation, allowing him to skip the normal 0.2% stage and directly reach the normal 0.3%.

The limit for not causing sequelae has increased from 0.5% to 0.7%.

The limit of disregarding consequences has also increased from 10 per thousand to 12 per thousand.

Although he has not yet used the extreme phase of disregarding the consequences.

However, by increasing the power level to 0.5%, he could go from being evenly matched with Ashina Jiro to completely overwhelming him.

This allows us to calculate just how powerful he is when he reaches the 12/1000 stage.

At that time, his strength was nearly six times that of his normal state.

Moreover, he had a premonition that as long as he could reach 1/1000 of the normal level, he could mobilize the Yang Force even without activating the Yang Force Release.

At that time, his strength will enter a completely new stage.

Just as Lin Bei was calculating and preparing to step around a corner, he suddenly shuddered and pulled half of his body back.

Dangerous, extremely dangerous.

Lin Bei's intuition had been giving him a frantic warning.

It was as if he risked death if he took just one more step.

However, Lin Bei soon realized where the danger came from.

"Bang……"

With a dull thud, a hole the size of a thumb appeared in the wall opposite the corner.

If Lin Bei had walked directly around the corner, the hole wouldn't have been in the wall, but in his body.

Lin Bei frowned after turning the corner.

"Another gun?"

"And it's a rifle!"

The fleeting image he had just glimpsed flashed through Lin Bei's mind.

A group of soldiers in gray-green uniforms, five in a row, one in front and one behind, one crouching and one standing, blocked the passage behind the corner. Each of them held a weapon that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

Type 38 rifle.

Commonly known as the Type 38 rifle.

The gun barrel is thin and long; if a bayonet were attached, it would be almost as tall as Tanjiro before he was nourished by Tanjiro's yang energy.

The reason Lin Bei was able to recognize the rifle was entirely because in his previous life he had never won a fight with his father over the remote control and was forced to watch anti-Japanese war dramas with his father.

However, not being very knowledgeable about history, he was unsure whether it was reasonable for this thing to appear during this period.

However, whether it's reasonable or not is no longer important to Lin Bei. What's important is how he can break through this thing's blockade.

After all, this thing is different from the old-fashioned muskets.

The Type 38 rifle is considered a new generation of firearms, a relatively mature killing weapon.

It is known for its high precision and strong penetration.

If he rushes out recklessly, he might just take the hit head-on like before.

It'll probably turn into a sieve in less than ten seconds.

What should we do?

Lin Bei was in a bit of a predicament.

Leaving is out of the question. We've come this far, and there's only one last hurdle left. We can't give up halfway.

Lin Bei believed that although he had some strength, he was not yet strong enough to withstand the Type 38 rifle.

At this moment, Lin Bei was extremely envious of the Demon King Muzan's abilities.

If it were Muzan, he'd probably take down ten Type 38 rifles.

He could withstand ten Type 96 machine guns without batting an eye.

After all, Yoriichi Tsugikuni had chopped Muzan into mincemeat, yet Muzan still survived.

However, when Lin Bei thought of Muzan, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Because he was reminded of a character whose survival ability was even more overpowered than Muzan's.

A super-duper scoundrel from another universe.

However, Lin Bei didn't think of his bug-like recovery ability.

Rather, it was his god-like swordsmanship, capable of cleaving bullets with his blade, before he became fearless of death.
