Just a magical girl who picks up trash

He could tell Yu Huan's current state at just one glance. Of course, Maotu was also very clear about what he was doing, because while he was still talking to himself, Yu Huan on the opposite side had already rushed up again, fighting like a beast. However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that these seemingly random movements seem to carry a kind of... inexplicable sense of regularity.

"Ancient martial arts?!"

Almost at the moment when he approached Yu Huan for the second time, Mao Tu finally recognized why the other party's movements were so familiar. He immediately glared at Yu Huan who was leaning over to grab him again. He did not dare to hesitate and jumped back decisively. After a backflip, the armor on his body changed again in the next second.

"Kachaka~~Kacha~~"

The sound of metal collision accompanied the changes. The next second, it was visible to the naked eye that the hands and feet of the rabbit began to gradually become thinner and longer. At the same time, the originally straight waist bent down in an instant. When the whole person fell to the ground again, it was not his feet that touched the ground, but all fours!

"Woo~~~"

The howl of a wolf came from the mouth of the metal silver wolf. As the scorching white mist sprayed out of its mouth, its pair of sharp teeth appeared so clear and bright even in this dark space.

"Oh my god, Transformers? Beastman?!"

Although he was complaining in his mind, his hands moved without hesitation. He stretched out his claws suddenly and collided directly with the opponent's wolf claws. Under the huge force, both of them took a few steps back almost at the same time. Yu Huan almost subconsciously planned to change and transform again, but just when his hands were placed on his waist, he suddenly stopped.

"This feeling……"

The sudden surge of blood boiling in his heart came so suddenly that Yu Huan was stunned for a moment, and then a moment later, he showed a relieved expression:

"Do you want to try it too? Then I'll leave it to you... but don't lose!"

It seemed as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to someone. After he finished speaking, the originally dark eyes under the Yuhuan mask silently turned into a light golden color. At the same time, the arms that were originally placed on the waist suddenly contracted. He supported himself on the ground with both hands and suddenly spun around. The whole person used the impact force to rush towards the other party again.

"Okay... I'll go!"

Such smooth movements immediately made the rabbit who had just stood firm in the distance exclaim in surprise. However, before he could say anything else, he found that a pair of claws had approached him at some point.

“Swish~~~”

Two black lights crossed and flashed in front of her chest. Although Maotu reacted very quickly and leaned back decisively, two shallow scratches were still inevitably left on her chest... However, this was not the point. The point was that just as Yuhuan's attack missed, her body, which had been sprinting forward due to the impact speed, suddenly stopped as if violating the laws of physics. The next second, the arm with sharp claws above Maotu's head suddenly grabbed her chest below.

"Bang~~~"

At the critical moment, the claws turned into fists, which prevented the arm from directly piercing through Maotu's chest. However, even with just a fist, Maotu fell heavily to the ground amidst a burst of violent sparks, leaving a deep human-shaped pit on the originally dark ground.

"Hey~~"

An excited laugh suddenly came out of Yu Huan's mouth. He jumped back and did several somersaults and landed on the ground not far away. He just stood there looking at the deep pit in front of him, waiting motionlessly for Maotu to come out.

"This is……"

Yu Huan was fighting excitedly here, but on the other side, Xiao Hei, who was originally sipping tea elegantly, suddenly put down the teacup in his hand with a serious expression almost at the moment when Yu Huan's aura just changed. He then opened his eyes wide and stared at Xiao Huan, who was attacking in an orderly manner in his dark space. It seemed as if he had suddenly become a different person. A glimmer of surprise and doubt suddenly flashed in his eyes at this moment.

"Bang~~~"

With a loud bang, Maotu, who was wearing tattered armor, suddenly jumped out of the deep pit not long after. The silver-white Iron Man armor on his body had become tattered, and even the injured skin could be seen in some places. The armor was covered with traces of flashing electric light. Although there were nanorobots constantly repairing the surface of the armor, the slow speed still looked extremely miserable.

"It's really... I haven't been beaten this badly in years!"

A sigh muttering to himself came out of Maotu's mouth. He seemed to have lost his aggressive aura and instead returned to his easy-going appearance when they first met.

"Ok?"

Such a sudden change made Yu Huan, who was about to rush forward, stop in her tracks. She tilted her head and looked at the guy in front of her who seemed to have no hostility in her eyes with some doubt. After thinking for a moment, she asked decisively:

"Still...fighting...?"

The childish tone and cute voice, although sounding extremely cute, gave people a sense of awkwardness, as if speaking for the first time. Unfortunately, Maotu obviously couldn't hear the changes in Yuhuan's tone. After all, he and Yuhuan were not familiar with each other, so he just shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"No more fighting, no more fighting. Speaking of armor... I admit that you win!"

Of course, it was only about the armor. After all, as the master of one of the twelve towers, if he was defeated so easily, he would have resigned long ago!

"……Oh!"

Yu Huan seemed a little disappointed that the opponent stopped fighting. She nodded and stopped talking. Instead, she planned to take off the belt to transform and return her body... However, just when her palm was placed on the belt, something strange happened... suddenly!

"Snapped!"

The small hand suddenly grasped the bright red arm armor. As Yu Huan raised his head slightly, he saw Xiao Hei's face, which was full of coldness and vigilance. As he stared at him, Xiao Hei slowly uttered a sentence full of strong questioning and coldness:

"Who are you?"

"Where is Xiao Huan...?"

Okay, two sentences!

35. Sky Tower Rabbit

"Who are you? Where is Xiao Huan?"

"Ugh?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard the words from Xiao Hei beside him. Suddenly, he felt the arm armor on his wrist that was almost deformed by being pinched. Yu Huan immediately looked at Xiao Hei in front of him with a confused face:

"What is Xiao Hei talking about? What's wrong?"

While he was puzzled, the Amazed armor on his body disappeared instantly in a flash of light, replaced by Yu Huan's cute face with a hint of doubt. Seeing Yu Huan like this, Xiao Hei, who had just had a cold face, was also slightly stunned. He stared at Yu Huan for a while before suddenly speaking:

"You are...Xiao Huan?"

It was indeed Xiao Huan's breath, and that was also Xiao Huan's tone. Everything seemed to have not changed at all, as if what had just happened was just... an illusion?

No, that's not right, that's not an illusion... Absolutely not!

A stern look flashed across his eyes, but was immediately covered up by Xiao Hei. He then looked at Yu Huan with a smile and said:

"No...it's okay, I just wanted to see if you were hurt!"

"Injuried……"

Hearing this, Yu Huan immediately lowered his head and looked at his palm that was held by Xiao Hei. He had been fighting for a long time, but because of the protection of the armor and Amazon's own recovery ability, there was no scar on his body. However, after Xiao Hei's grip, not only did the arm armor have cracks, but Yu Huan also clearly felt that the bones of his arm seemed... about to break!

"..."

"Uh……"

When their eyes met, the atmosphere became so awkward in an instant. After a long while, Xiao Hei suddenly let go of Yu Huan's hand, and an extremely awkward smile appeared on his face.

"Um... that... I was excited at the moment, haha, I was excited at the moment... sorry!"

After an apologetic smile, just as the two were chatting happily, Maotu, who had also canceled his transformation, finally came over.

"how?"

As soon as he saw Maotu coming, before Yuhuan could show a wary expression to prevent the other party from suddenly attacking, Xiaohei suddenly spoke as if he had expected it.

"Well, not bad...very good!"

Nodding with apparent satisfaction, Maotu continued:

"An armor that can change colors... I remember it was called Sora, right? Red for all-around, blue for speed, green for agility, and purple for defense... Each one has its own unique characteristics. Add to that the ability to transform matter into weapons, and it's practically an all-around armor. And it doesn't seem to be purely technological. I can sense a bio-energy reaction within it. This thing... doesn't seem to be a purely technological product!"

Analyzing Kuuga's characteristics after just one battle made Yu Huan's eyes widen in disbelief. However, before Yu Huan could express his surprise, Maotu had already put on a pair of frameless glasses and continued in a scholarly tone:

"Of course, I'm more curious about the armor she wore later... My friend, could you please tell me what that armor... no, that exoskeleton is called? Is it also called the 'Kuaga'?"

"...Amazons, Kamen Rider Amazon...did you know that's an exoskeleton?"

Kamen Rider Amazon, although it is a Kamen Rider, also uses a belt to transform, but it is actually not an armor summoned by the belt, but a biological mutation to some extent!

The Amazon virus is a mutant virus developed by humans (the protagonist of the original novel). Through injection, it can devour human genes and mutate them into Amazon cells. The mutants will then become Amazons, relying on protein to sustain life, and the first food on the food list is undoubtedly the so-called humans.

The function of the belt is more of a limiter than armor, which can stop and limit Amazon's crazy rampage and correctly guide its control of power. The armor wrapped around the whole body is not armor, but the real Amazon's skin, that is, an exoskeleton shell like the scales on a fish!

It's just that Amazon looks no different from other Kamen Riders when it transforms, so even Xiao Ya and others mistakenly think it is armor from the outside. However, the Rabbit in front of them instantly saw the truth after just one fight. Such analytical ability made Yu Huan admire him and he also honestly said the name of the armor, and also told the other party some information about it.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Yu Huan wouldn’t doubt the other party, but simply because the other party was introduced by Xiao Hei, so she chose to believe him.

"I see... Amazon virus cells? They're not human, but a new type of cell mutated from human cell genes... Can I have some blood? Not much, just a little bit!"

The topic changed too quickly and too suddenly. This time, before Yu Huan could react, Xiao Hei on the side spoke first:

"Hey, I brought Xiao Huan here to ask for benefits, you...don't go too far!"

Yu Huan was able to tell the other party Amazon's basic information out of Xiao Hei's consideration, which Xiao Hei could naturally see. Now the other party actually wanted to draw blood or something... This was obviously not something that could be easily agreed to. After all, not to mention how much a drop of blood could do with the current technology in Tianta City, just think about what kind of trouble might arise if the blood fell into the hands of Magic Test.

Therefore, it would be strange for Xiao Hei to agree to something that would bring trouble to Xiao Huan!

"Uh... okay, okay, I'm pushing it too far. Now... let's get down to business!"

As if he knew that his request was a bit excessive, he instantly recovered from his fanatical researcher state, silently took off his glasses, and then turned and walked towards a wooden door not far behind him.

"Come with me, I'll take you to claim your reward!"

This was originally the purpose of Yu Huan's visit this time. After all, although Yu Huan had his own reasons for dealing with Guimian before, at least at the official level he was still solving the trouble for Tianta City. And it was because of this that Xiao Hei used this to blackmail Tianta City... No, he negotiated a generous reward. Now that the mission has been completed, it is naturally time for Yu Huan to collect the reward.

Although Yu Huan didn't know what the reward was for the time being, she saw it very clearly... countless spirit coins seemed to be waving at her!

36.Would you like to be my student?

"That's basically it... Since you didn't specify the level and type of energy source you needed, this is the most I can currently provide within the scope of my authority... The purity is 100% guaranteed, and it can be used in any technological product without any rejection reaction. You can use it with confidence!"

Maotu placed the entire warehouse's worth of energy batteries into a small space compression box and handed it to Yuhuan. He said this with a slightly apologetic tone, and Yuhuan quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, that's a lot already, thank you!"

This statement was absolutely sincere, because the energy battery in the compressed box she held in her hand at this moment had already exceeded Yu Huan's imagination... She had originally thought that the reward offered by the other party might be worth hundreds of thousands of spirit coins, which was already very impressive. After all, even after such a long time in this world, all Yu Huan's income added up to this amount. However, who would have thought that after taking the compressed box from Maotu, Yu Huan simply let the system scan it casually, and the final result was:

"It has been discovered that it can absorb pure energy. Should it be converted into spirit coins? The amount to be converted: 1,137,680,000!"

How many...hundred million?!

To be honest, before Yu Huan could even see the numbers clearly, she was so frightened by the word "billion" that she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xiao Hei, who was standing beside her, pulled her up in time to prevent this inexperienced child from losing face. However, despite this, it was obvious that Xiao Hei couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile on his face.

Having signed a contract with Yu Huan, she naturally understood the role of spirit coins very well. She also knew how scarce Yu Huan's spirit coins were nowadays, especially when she had made a certain plan. Xiao Hei had originally wanted to simply hunt exotic beasts to earn zero points, but she didn't expect that with such a deposit now, it must be said that it really... came at the right time!

Of course, the sudden increase in spirit coins was a good thing for Yu Huan and Xiao Hei. However, from Maotu's perspective, it was not something to worry about. Although directly mobilizing such a huge energy source was indeed a bit troublesome, compared to resolving a disaster like the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, such a thank-you gift was obviously a bit inferior. Therefore, energy was only secondary. After handing it to Yu Huan, he immediately took out the second reward:

"And this..."

As he spoke, Maotu took out a pale golden crystal card and handed it to Yuhuan. Just when Yuhuan was wondering what it was, Maotu took the initiative to explain:

"Judging from your performance just now, you must have practiced ancient martial arts, right? I can probably guess who you learned it from, and I can see that you seem quite talented in this area, plus that magical armor of yours... This crystal card contains all the ancient martial arts currently available to the public in Tianta City, as well as various top-level confidential ancient martial arts combat methods. You can choose whatever you want to learn from it!"

Obviously, compared to the energy source, this treasure trove of knowledge is the greatest reward. Therefore, even Maotu had a solemn expression on his face when he handed this crystal card to Yuhuan:

"Remember, this crystal card can only be used once. It cannot be transferred or burned. The confidentiality runes engraved on it will destroy all contents the moment you finish reading it, so be sure to read it carefully... Also, no matter what you learn from it, remember not to teach it to others casually. Otherwise, Tianta City will have the right to reclaim it and erase the memories of all related personnel. This is also for the sake of confidentiality. Please forgive me!"

Any ancient martial arts information before the Mirror Extinction Day is undoubtedly the most precious treasure among treasures, whether for Tianta City or the Demon Realm. It is a true historical relic. Under such circumstances, it naturally cannot be spread out casually. The necessary confidentiality measures are obviously understandable. Therefore, Yu Huan naturally had no objection to this, but nodded solemnly.

Yuhuan now has many styles of Kamen Rider belts, but because there are too many of them, she feels a little confused and not proficient in them. After all, each armor has its own fighting style. Although Yuhuan can get the complete usage method every time she switches, it does not mean that she can master it at will. Therefore, this has always been a little troublesome for Yuhuan.

The ancient martial arts that Xiao Ya taught him made up for this to some extent. However, Xiao Ya only knew the "close combat style". A single fighting method obviously could not make up for Yu Huan's diverse fighting methods. Now with this crystal card, it is undoubtedly a great help to Yu Huan. At least in the crystal card that contains countless combat classics, Yu Huan basically does not have to worry about whether he can find information on combat methods suitable for his Kamen Rider. After that, he only needs to practice diligently... Becoming a truly all-round Kamen Rider is just around the corner!

"grateful!"

There was no need to say much. Yu Huan was not the most outgoing person, so this sincere thank you was undoubtedly rewarded with a slight smile from Maotu. He then took out another crystal card and handed it to Yu Huan:

"Of course, the ancient martial arts file is a personal gift from me and isn't included in your compensation. This one, however, is the library search information I promised you. Basically, if you have any questions, you only need to search for keywords on it, and you can access files below Level 3 confidentiality in the library at any time!"

Of course, none of the three promised rewards could be missing. After nodding and accepting the reward from Maotu, Yuhuan did not show too much excitement this time. Instead, he looked at Maotu in front of him with a serious expression. Xiaohei was the same, because they all knew that what was coming next... was the highlight!

"...I know what you're expecting!"

Of the three rewards agreed upon before, since the first two have already been given, Yu Huan and Xiao Hei are naturally looking forward to the third reward. To be honest, compared with the first two, this reward is undoubtedly the one that really gives Tianta City a headache. After all, this is the only reward that can truly be said to make Tianta City bleed heavily!

"Ahem~~ Um... before I give you the final reward, Xiao Huan... I have a serious question I want to ask you!"

"Huh? What's the problem?"

"Would you... be willing to be my student?"

"As the next... heir to the Rabbit Sky Tower!"

37. Your own territory

"So I just got a new teacher for no apparent reason, right?"

After leaving the central hall of the Sky Tower, Yu Huan didn't realize what he had just agreed until he got on the hovercraft back to his residence. He immediately turned around and looked at Xiao Hei with some confusion and asked.

"Well, there's no harm anyway, so just agree to it!"

Xiao Hei spoke casually, as if Yu Huan's sudden request to become his disciple was not a strange thing... After all, she was the one who brought him there in the first place, and in fact, that was her intention from the beginning.

"No, the main thing is that this is a discipleship... isn't it a bit... too hasty?"

From the beginning to the end, Maotu asked Yuhuan whether he was willing to be her student and then inherit the Maotu Tower in the future to become one of the guardians of Tianta City. Before Yuhuan could react to the news, Xiaohei here directly rejected the other party's request for Yuhuan to inherit the Maotu Tower, which was exactly what Yuhuan did not want to agree to.

After all, not to mention that she also has the identity of a scavenger, just the fact that she has a system and the ability to travel through various planes of the world makes it obviously impossible for her as a ranger to just join Tianta City. After all, Yu Huan's vision is much higher than this. Therefore, in Xiao Hei's view, Tianta City or even just a continent like this is obviously too much of a waste of Yu Huan's talent.
