Super God Academy: Kabuto

After Lin Yu transformed into the Emperor Armor and left, Keisha and He Xi's gazes remained on the lingering, chilling energy in the courtyard.

"A very powerful force," Keisha spoke first, her tone carrying a hint of scrutiny and approval. "Moreover, its compatibility with this universe is extremely high, with almost no rejection reaction. It's more than one level stronger than the previous three mass-produced 'Heaven, Earth, and Man' armors."

He Xi nodded, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the table where the Emperor's Belt had been placed, feeling the lingering fluctuations of power: "The energy level is incredibly high. A preliminary estimate suggests that if fully unleashed, it could probably reach the realm of a fifth-generation divine body. I just wonder if the other set in the box, the Asura Armor, possesses power of the same level."

She frowned slightly, looked at Keisha, and stated her discovery: "That Asura Summoner, I feel... is more like a replica, and its core algorithm seems to have been modified, leaving some non-original traces."

"Let's see how this Imperial Armor performs in practice." Keisha cast her gaze into the distance, as if she could see through space and witness the battle there.

……

On the other side, the battlefield

The Emperor Armor (Lin Yu) appeared silently near the battlefield between Angel Leng and Nuoning. He did not directly intervene in the battle, but instead clasped his hands together in front of his chest, forming an arcane hand seal, and the Tai Chi totem at his waist glowed slightly.

[Meditation Mudra!]

An invisible, water-ripple-like energy pattern instantly spread out from him, silently sweeping across the entire area. Wherever the ripples passed, everything froze—flying dust, dissipating energy, the expression on Nonin's face, the angel's cold and resolute eyes… everything was put on pause.

The Emperor Armor stepped calmly, traversing the frozen space-time, and arrived between the two. He glanced at the frozen Angel Leng, then gently pulled her away from Noning's deadly attack. He then opened the light barrier and tossed her to a safe area.

[The meditation mudra is lifted!]

Time resumed its flow.

Noning's sure-fire strike missed, and her target vanished abruptly, leaving her stunned. Then, she saw a figure in the distance, radiating a majestic aura, like a god descending to earth—a figure in golden armor.

"Who are you?!" Nuoning shouted in shock and anger, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression from the armor.

The Imperial Armor ignored Nonin's questioning, not even glancing at her, and instead issued a final ultimatum to her in a synthesized voice imbued with boundless majesty:

"Leave, or die."

Noning stared intently at the Emperor Armor, weighing the unfathomable difference in strength between them, as well as the opponent's bizarre ability to control time. A few seconds later, she gritted her teeth, stomped her foot angrily, waved her hand to open a wormhole, and disappeared without looking back.

Inside the courtyard, the figure of the Emperor's Armor reappeared, the golden light dissipating to reveal Lin Yu's true form. He casually placed the Emperor's Belt on the table.

He Xi immediately leaned closer, looking at him with a teasing smile: "Why did you let her go? Couldn't bear to harm one of your Queen Keisha's old subordinates?"

Lin Yu rolled his eyes at her, then naturally put his arm around her waist and pulled her to his side. "No. I was just thinking that she used to be like a sister to you, so I'll let her off this time for the sake of our past relationship." He paused, his tone turning cold. "Next time she comes, just kill her."

Upon hearing this, He Xi pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, but a hint of gentleness flashed in her eyes.

Watching the two interact, Keisha smiled and steered the conversation back to the main topic: "The power level of your armor is indeed beyond imagination. He Xi and I tried to do a preliminary analysis, but we made almost no progress. Its technical route and energy composition are completely unfamiliar. On the other hand, the other Shura Armor, although it has also been modified, is much easier to analyze."

Lin Yu picked up the Emperor's Belt from the table, weighed it in his hand, and felt the vast power dormant within: "There's a seal inside. How much power I can use depends on the degree to which the seal is unlocked." He put the belt down. "Let's ignore it for now."

After saying that, he moved closer to He Xi again, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, gently pulled her into his embrace, lowered his head, and whispered in her fair ear with a smile:

"Pipi Xi...were you jealous just now?"

Warm breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe, and He Xi's earlobes flushed crimson instantly, even her neck turning a faint pink. She panicked, trying to push Lin Yu away, but her voice involuntarily lowered: "I...I didn't!"

Keisha, standing to the side, watched the two of them instantly become so lovey-dovey and oblivious to everyone else. She wisely shook her head, a helpless yet gratified smile on her face, and quietly turned and left the courtyard, leaving them alone.

Seeing Keisha leave, Lin Yu became even more audacious, scooping He Xi up in his arms and sitting down on a chair, letting her sit on his lap, encircling her completely in his embrace. The cool, unique fragrance of her hair and neck lingered around his nose, and Lin Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, whispering in her ear:

"Pipi Xi, you smell so good..."

He Xi was held in his arms, feeling the warmth of his chest and the strong heartbeat. Her blush deepened, but she forced herself to remain calm and reached out a slender finger to gently tap his forehead, trying to adopt the demeanor of an "elder":

"Kid, what do you want to do? Be good."

Lin Yu looked at her, who was clearly shy but trying to appear calm, and felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He chuckled softly, "I won't... I want to be a bad girl."

Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and accurately captured her soft, rosy lips.

"Ugh...!"

He Xi stiffened slightly, then struggled symbolically for a moment before softening under his gentle yet irresistible kiss, her arms unconsciously wrapping around his neck.

A few minutes later, when both of them were slightly out of breath, Lin Yu reluctantly let go. He Xi leaned against him, her eyes sparkling, her cheeks flushed, slightly out of breath, and gave him a playful glare: "Kid... are you satisfied now?"

Looking at her radiant beauty, so different from her usual aloof and scientific research image, Lin Yu's Adam's apple bobbed. He suppressed the flutter in his heart, gently placed her back on the ground, and stood up almost awkwardly.

"Hmm... Satisfied, very satisfied." He touched his nose, his eyes darting around. "Um... I... I'll go out for a bit!"

After saying that, he practically fled, quickly walking out of the courtyard.

Watching his slightly hurried back, He Xi stood there, gently touching her still hot lips. Recalling his appearance just now, she finally couldn't help but burst out laughing. The laughter was like a clear spring dripping onto jade, full of sweetness and playfulness, echoing in the quiet courtyard.

"What a... hypocritical 'bad kid'."
