Only I can make them stronger

"So I made two decisions. First, I wanted to completely eradicate this thing called rationality. Second, I wanted to find a being that could truly kill me and end my absurd life."

"Since my existence cannot be changed, I must at least challenge the owner of these huge hands, and at the same time find the knight who will end my disgusting life."

"The Four Horsemen exist for this very reason."

Phoenix looked at the four statues around him and spoke with a dazed look in his eyes.

"Kill you?!" Karen exclaimed in surprise.

Is it true that Phoenix chose her to be the Golden Lion so that he could kill her?

"That's right. I established the Phoenix Office and recruited countless talents just to select those with the talent to kill me."

"The four knights represent the four dimensions in which I observe these talents. I believe that if I am defeated in all four dimensions, my existence will become meaningless and I will naturally perish."

"So, the previous Golden Lion didn't actually die in the mission..." Karen murmured with his pupils shaking.

Phoenix sighed, nodded, and pointed to the only door in the room.

"She walked through that door, challenged the test I set, and never came out again."

"Your predecessor was a person with the highest aptitude at the eighth level, the strongest of all the knights."

"I have never seen anyone as fearless and victorious as her. I had high hopes for her."

“But she died anyway.”

"Her death made me realize one thing—"

"Perhaps I am meant to be killed by someone of the same level, or possibly a higher level."

"And just during that time when I felt lost, I accidentally met you two."

"In you, especially Karen, I see a familiar power."

"Mythical species..." Jinelle, who had been in a state of shock, finally understood.

Possessing the same power source as the Brutal Hero and serving as the main vessel, Karen gives Phoenix the feeling that she may be able to rival her in the future.

"I investigated your backgrounds and searched the entire continent based on the feeling you gave me. I eventually found the Gear City and confirmed that my feeling was correct."

"And your incomplete mutant factor also made me, as someone at the same level, quickly realize the reason for your birth."

"But in my opinion, if you simply return to your original form, you will probably not be my opponent either."

"The real body hidden in the Gear City is far from strong enough. It lacks more things than I do, and it is even more deadly."

"So I have granted you the Knight of the Golden Lion, hoping that you can defeat your original body, truly replace Him, and become a being stronger than Him."

　"As the golden lion symbolizes, this requires the courage and determination to face and overturn one's own destiny."

"For this reason, I calculated the time and went to the Gear City after you left."

"In my opinion, you may be limited by your actual weakness and find it difficult to resist that existence, so I plan to personally deal with it, and then put your fate in front of you and let you choose."

Following Phoenix's words, Karen and Jinelle both fell silent.

Seeing their complicated expressions, she sighed and continued:

“I hope you won’t feel sad about this, although I did take you in with the intention of using you.

But the reason I brought you here to tell you all this is to tell you that I am actually very happy to see you survive.”

"Sometimes I feel very contradictory. I never take anyone or anything seriously, but in fact I really want to be like them."

"And now, I am sure of one more thing—"

"What's the matter?" Karen pursed her lips and asked in a low voice.

"That boy named Xia Ye, maybe he is my knight and the key to rewashing this continent."

"He went to the Gear City with you and successfully enabled you to stand before me in a new form. He has passed my first round of tests on him."

"Now, I want to see how far he can go. Can he kill me, absorb everything about me, and make me his strength?"

"Phoenix, I think you are wrong about this matter." Jinelle suddenly smiled helplessly and spoke.

"Hmm?" Phoenix tilted his head and squinted at Jinelle.

"If it was Xia Ye, I think she would say something to you."

"What?" Phoenix was curious.

Jinniel and Karen looked at each other and said in unison:

"He will say that he wants to make you his woman too."

"He is such a strange person. He seems to have no regard for survival, strength or mission. He just wants to live a good life and marry many loving wives."

"For this matter, he might even be willing to poke a hole in the sky."

"If you count Karen and I, he should have at least five...six, right?"

"I think it's eight!"

"So many?"

"My intuition tells me that Fiti and Y are also having an affair with him."

"Is it that exaggerated..."

"Anyway, Fenghuang is so beautiful and has a great figure, he will definitely be attracted to her in an instant..."

"..."

Hearing the two people suddenly change the topic, Phoenix rarely opened her bright orange eyes.

It was the first time that she felt like she couldn't follow the other person's conversation, and it was also the first time that her appearance was commented on to her face.

"Ha...hahahahaha!!!" A clear laugh rang out in the room, interrupting the conversation between the two.

"Interesting... I'm looking forward to it."

"Perhaps it would be a good idea to wait until he conquers me."

"Karen, take this." Phoenix smiled and stretched out her hand to grab. A flame turned into a feather in her white hand.

"Having said so much, it's time to say goodbye."

"Anyway, what I want to say most is that I admire you two little guys. If you don't feel comfortable staying outside, you can come back to Phoenix without any burden. You can treat this place as your residence. This is my compensation to you."

"Also, help me ask that kid Xia Ye a few questions. If his answers satisfy you, give him this feather."

124. For female students aged or

When Xia Ye woke up, he found himself lying on the bed.

Judging from the quilt and the furnishings in the room, there is no doubt that this is Shana's room.

I looked at the time and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"I remember that I seemed to be sucked unconscious by Shana..."

Although his head was a little dizzy, after careful feeling, Xia Ye discovered that his body was not at all exhausted. On the contrary, his muscles and bones were even stronger than before, making him feel full of strength.

When I opened the system, there was new news.

"So every time the body's strength increases, not only will the height and weight increase, the size of the bull will also increase..."

Xia Ye looked at the updated panel with a smile and tears, feeling the changes in his body.

At this moment, he felt as if a vague voice was constantly ringing in the depths of his inspiration, so he quickly concentrated his attention and listened.

"Invincible... Glory..."

"Pierce the sky... shatter the stars..."

"spear!"

The voices in his mind were faintly accompanied by the sound of drums, and the desolate and ancient battlefield seemed to be vividly displayed before his eyes.

Facing the enemy who was nowhere to be found, energy condensed in a giant hand, forming a primitive but extremely sharp spear, which was thrown out violently.

The spear, with its simple yet brilliant wake, pierced the sky like a meteor, piercing a big hole in the dark clouds!

All the images were shattered by the sharp light and remixed into Xia Ye's mind. In the end, only one clear description remained -

"spear!"

"Spear?" Xia Ye took a long breath, his mind still shocked by the brief but impactful scene just now.

This feeling, this description, was not unfamiliar to him.

This is how the lightning strike technique came about.

Did I learn another trick from Shana?

"Oh my goodness... Shana is my skill library... This wave of absorption was not in vain!"

Although he couldn't try out the move now in the bedroom, Xia Ye could already feel the power of this move from the scene just now.

"Try it carefully when you have time..."

Just as he was thinking this, the bathroom door suddenly opened, and a figure that made his blood boil walked out from behind the door -

It was Sana, the one with a plump body that filled up her sailor uniform, and who was awkwardly adjusting her skirt!

The towering peaks lifted up the fabric on the chest, and the hollow waist and abdomen vaguely revealed the healthy abdominal muscles and vest line;

The short skirt just covers the thighs, and a pair of smooth, strong, muscular legs together protect the mysterious garden under the absolute domain.

Color penetrates the center of the earth!

"Is this dress really for me? Why does it feel weird? The style doesn't seem to match it..."

"But it seems that no one else can wear this size except me, and it's a bit tight for me..."
