Who says those who retire at the speed of light are not heroes?

It was still drizzling at the moment. Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at him and asked, "Would you like to swim with me for a while?"

"Okay."

There is an indoor swimming pool in her villa. Lu Xiaoxiao quickly changed into a swimsuit, which was a white suspender style. Lu Xiaoxiao's figure was too good to be true.

Lin Cheng's comment was, "What a sexy swimsuit."

"I don't usually wear it when swimming." Lu Xiaoxiao said lightly.

"Well, why?"

"Because there is no other man in the family."

"Actually, you can just pretend I don't exist."

"Go to hell." Lu Xiaoxiao jumped into the water, and Lin Cheng quickly followed. Lu Xiaoxiao's swimming posture was particularly elegant, like a mermaid. Lin Cheng soaked in the water, quietly watching her legs dangling in the pool. At this time, he suddenly remembered something, "Where's your mother?"

"I'm going to deal with the Styx matter. The second in command of the Styx, Mingyue, has shown up in K City."

"Oh, very good, very good."

Lin Cheng soon caught up with Lu Xiaoxiao and swam several laps with her in the swimming pool. After swimming a few laps, Lu Xiaoxiao felt that the coldness in her body seemed to be relieved a little. She went back to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, she was wearing a lavender silk nightgown, with her jet-black hair loose. Judging from the curve of her chest, well, she was not wearing any underwear. Lin Cheng came behind her and blew her hair. After that, he also went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came to Lu Xiaoxiao's room, Lu Xiaoxiao was playing games.

Lin Cheng almost forgot that she was still an internet addict.

He just sat aside and watched Lu Xiaoxiao play quietly. After playing one or two games, Lu Xiaoxiao turned off the computer and lay down on the bed. Lin Cheng came uninvited and got into her bed. Lu Xiaoxiao turned on the TV, turned off the lights and curtains in the room, and the two watched a horror movie together.

Lu Xiaoxiao's body finally moved slightly towards him, and Lin Cheng naturally held her in his arms. At this moment, Lu Xiaoxiao in his arms was as cold as ice.

The Zilan beast in the abyss possesses the ability of cold poison. The abilities of many people with special abilities are related to the abyss, but so far humans have not discovered the real reason for the connection.

Lu Xiaoxiao's body began to tremble slightly, but in an instant, Lin Cheng's hands were placed on her legs, and his fingertips tapped lightly on her legs, as if a faint energy entered her energy acupoints, dispelling the coldness bit by bit, and her body gradually warmed up again.

She gradually felt sleepy, moved slightly, and closed her eyes in Lin Cheng's arms.

121 Special Training

Lu Xiaoxiao seemed to have had a dream.

She dreamed that she was in a snowy wasteland. There was no end in sight. The wind was howling in the wasteland, and rain and snow fell on her, freezing her limbs. She had been walking aimlessly in this wasteland for a long time. Everything in front of her was becoming darker and darker. When she was about to collapse, she saw a bonfire in front of her.

The bonfire dispelled the wind and snow. She came to the bonfire, and the world seemed to become extremely warm at that moment.

The warmth made her want to have a comfortable sleep. When she closed her eyes and opened them again, Lin Cheng's hands were quietly pulling the straps of her nightgown.

Eyes facing each other.

"I said I saw your shoulder strap slip down, so I helped you pull it up... Do you believe me?"

Lin Cheng clearly didn't lie, but his voice inexplicably revealed a sense of guilt.

Lu Xiaoxiao lowered her head.

At this moment, her shoulder straps slipped off her shoulders, revealing a large area of ​​white chest. She had a particularly plump figure, and her snow-white skin was a little dazzling. Lu Xiaoxiao raised her head again, stretched out her fingers and gently hooked her collar, revealing a large area of ​​white and tender chest.

Lin Cheng's gaze was subconsciously drawn to it. Lu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

"I was really just watching the straps slide..."

Lu Xiaoxiao hooked her finger downwards again. If she moved it down just a little bit more, Lin Cheng would be able to see the pink color. Just a little bit more would be enough, but Lu Xiaoxiao's fingertips just hovered there, neither going up nor down.

"Have you seen enough?"

"It's easier to mess with it if you go a little further down."

"Go to hell." Lu Xiaoxiao reached out and covered his eyes, then sat up.

....................................

"So what is the special training you're talking about?" Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the bed and looked back at him, "Fighting?"

"You have already mastered the basic method of driving energy. Basic fighting skills are not very effective for you now. It cannot promote the improvement of your energy core, so... it is another training method."

"What is it?"

"Before that, let me confirm with you first. The following special training will be very painful and will make you mentally exhausted, but once you agree to it, you cannot quit. If you quit, you will have to let me... hehehe."

Lin Cheng's current expression is really too humble.

"I'm not afraid of pain or fatigue, but after special training, can I enter S-level?"

"I can guarantee that, at least after the special training is over, ordinary S-class will not be your opponent."

"it is good."

"Wait, let me ask you one last time. Are you sure you won't quit?"

"I am sure."

"That's good."

Lin Cheng also sat up from the bed, but at this moment, countless black and red blood threads suddenly entangled Lin Cheng's body. Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, watching those blood threads slowly crawling onto her body and gradually wrapping her body, and her consciousness began to gradually blur. Lin Cheng's voice still echoed in her ears, "Go to sleep."

....................................

When Lu Xiaoxiao regained consciousness, the scene in front of her had turned into a bamboo forest.

There were green bamboos all around, and Lin Cheng and she were standing in the middle of an open space. Lu Xiaoxiao lowered her head. She was not wearing any clothes, and she almost subconsciously covered her chest. A transparent light curtain appeared in front of her, and it said, "Please choose your combat uniform."

There are three pictures to choose from below, but... Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly became resentful.

"Can you explain to me what this maid skirt and latex suit are?"

"Don't worry about the details. There's also a set of sports T-shirt and shorts."

"Where is this?" Lu Xiaoxiao chose the sports T-shirt and shorts.

"This spiritual world that we have built together is a capability of the Abyss Beast."

Lu Xiaoxiao sensitively noticed that there was a blood bar on Lin Cheng's head and blood grooves on her arms. She seemed to understand, and Lin Cheng quickly spoke, "You can understand it as, now we are playing a fighting game. In this game, you have unlimited chances to revive, and the perception of time here is twenty times slower than the outside world. If you want to leave here, there is only one way, kill me."

"My strength is absolutely the same as yours. We will also feel pain and mental fatigue here. Every time we revive, we will be full of health and mana. Are you ready?"

"All right."

"Then... let's begin."

The moment Lin Cheng finished saying "start", his body disappeared from the spot. He drove his speed with extreme energy. When Lu Xiaoxiao came to her senses and reacted, Lin Cheng's hand had already touched her chest. His palm gathered all the energy in that instant, pierced her chest, grabbed the still beating heart, and crushed it.

Lu Xiaoxiao's body fell limply.

Pain spread throughout the body in an instant, accompanied by fear. The moment after death, Lu Xiaoxiao's body switched to a third-party perspective, and there was a ten-second countdown in front of her.

"Resurrecting, 10,9..."

Ten seconds later, her body appeared out of thin air again, and the previous corpse disappeared as if it had been refreshed. Lin Cheng turned sideways and punched her in the cheek. This time Lu Xiaoxiao had anticipated it and used all her energy to barely avoid it, but the next second, her ribs were broken by Lin Cheng's knee. The pain that penetrated deep into her bone marrow spread throughout her body, and then another punch hit her head.

Lin Cheng shook his hands, and all the blood fell to the ground.

He looked towards the direction where Lu Xiaoxiao was reborn in the void, "Too weak."

Ten seconds later, Lu Xiaoxiao was reborn again. This time, she tried to take the initiative and learned the method of mobilizing energy that Lin Cheng had taught her before. She pushed her strength to the extreme and punched Lin Cheng in the chest.

But she focused too much on strength and ignored speed. Lin Cheng easily dodged her punch from the beginning and hit her arm with a downward chop. This time Lu Xiaoxiao managed to hold on for more than ten seconds, but was eventually kicked in the kneecap and fell to the ground. Then she was punched in the neck, breaking the cervical vertebrae and draining the blood.

This world was simulated by Lin Cheng. One could feel all the pain here, not a single bit less, so the pain would bring extreme mental exhaustion.

Lu Xiaoxiao soon faced her seventh death. This time, Lin Cheng gave her a hint, "If you don't have the ability to kill with one strike, then giving the opponent a little pain, making his movements freeze for a moment, and then looking for the opportunity to kill is also a good choice."

The fourteenth time she died, Lu Xiaoxiao successfully broke one of Lin Cheng's ribs. She had been looking for Lin Cheng's weakness in these dozen deaths. She had hoped that the pain in this rib would distract Lin Cheng, but in her next few lives, Lin Cheng's movements were not at all stiff, and he didn't even frown.

"Can you really feel pain?!" Lu Xiaoxiao was already a little crazy.

Anyone who is killed dozens of times in various ways would almost certainly go a little crazy.

"I really feel the same pain as you." Lin Cheng looked at her innocently and punched her shoulder. His movement was as casual as breaking a piece of tofu. He only used the same 130 strength as Lu Xiaoxiao, but he was able to mobilize the energy to the right place with each strike, so it erupted with almost destructive power.

"You've broken two ribs, but you..."

"Oh." Lin Cheng punched Lu Xiaoxiao's head again. Lu Xiaoxiao had no way to dodge this punch. She had prepared to die again, but this time, Lin Cheng just reached out and touched her head.

"Pain is a mechanism the body uses to protect itself, but it is also a sense of touch that you can get used to. Once you get used to it, it won't hurt as much."

"Habit?"

"Yes, it's a very simple truth."

While touching her head, the energy in Lin Cheng's hand began to vibrate, destroying everything in her head in that instant, and Lu Xiaoxiao was reborn again.

..........................................

Forty-third rebirth.

After this rebirth, Lu Xiaoxiao did not attack Lin Cheng as she did before. Instead, she collapsed on the ground. She slowly raised her head and looked at Lin Cheng, who was standing there with only 70% of his blood left. Her pink lips opened and closed slightly, "I... want to rest for a while."

"Rest first and then give up?" Lin Cheng smiled.

Lu Xiaoxiao felt a hint of sarcasm in the smile on Lin Cheng's lips. That hint of sarcasm seemed to make her fatigue disappear a little, but when she wanted to stand up again, the fear of death every time before and the pain that penetrated deep into her bones made her lose her strength again.

She had really thought that she would persist until Lin Cheng's blood tank was worn out, but after forty-two times, a deep feeling of powerlessness enveloped her again. She believed that Lin Cheng used the same strength as her, and that Lin Cheng would also feel pain, but the Lin Cheng standing in front of her at this moment was like a monster, a demon who only knew how to kill.

But the devil's face was smiling at the moment, and he also sat next to Lu Xiaoxiao. After a while, he said, "It seems to be a bit too difficult for you. If you want to give up, then give up. I will get you two evolution bloods, and your strength can also enter S-level."

Lin Cheng seemed to have anticipated this result. There was no surprise in his tone. Lu Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at his face. She wanted to say something stubborn, but fear surged out like a tide in an instant. A deep sense of powerlessness enveloped her. She looked at Lin Cheng's face and said, "I have a question."

"You ask."

"How did you learn all this?"

"what do you mean?"

"Fighting skills, ignoring pain."

"Huh? Because this used to be my training ground." Lin Cheng smiled helplessly and suddenly raised his hand. In an instant, hundreds of various abyss monsters appeared in the distance. They were simulated by Lin Cheng using the blood of abyss monsters.

"The abyss beasts can create a delusional mental simulation world. I don't need to sleep. In the past few years, I have been fighting these monsters at night. After so many times, naturally there is nothing to be afraid of."

"How many times have you... died?"

Lin Cheng scratched his head. "I don't know. How can I count it? Hundreds of thousands of times, maybe?"

122 You were harmed by Jiang Lingxue

Lu Xiaoxiao's pupils were dilated to the extreme at this moment.

She stared at Lin Cheng's face, but Lin Cheng's expression was indeed very normal. He didn't have the slightest intention of showing off to you how cool or powerful he was. It was as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"How... did you manage to hold on?"

"I hate it." Lin Cheng took out a lollipop from somewhere and stuffed it into his mouth.

"hatred?"

"I don't know why I joined the Alliance, nor do I know why I want to be a hero, and I don't understand why I have to protect this world, but I still did it. Perhaps protecting this world is the same as protecting myself. But one day, a monster killed my companions, right in front of me, in a brutal way... But I couldn't do anything. From that day on, I couldn't sleep anymore. Once I closed my eyes, I would see this scene."

"So I hate it. Because of hatred, why do I need to persist in doing something like this? The moment I saw those monsters, countless strength surged in my body. At that time, the only thought in my mind was to kill them all."

Lin Cheng produced another lollipop and stuffed it into Lu Xiaoxiao's mouth.

"But my hatred has nothing to do with you. It's not a good thing to live with hatred all the time. When Sima Ming closed the abyss, I didn't know who to hate. In the years after retiring, I still couldn't sleep every night. When the flame of revenge was extinguished, only nothingness was left. That feeling is not pleasant at all."

"Now that the world is at peace, there is no need to fight the abyss anymore, so there is no need for you to be so persistent." Lin Cheng's voice softened a little.

In fact, he was a little disappointed just now.

But on second thought, Lu Xiaoxiao has actually done quite well. Dying dozens of times is enough. Anyway, the world is at peace now, and there is no reason to persist and become stronger. Even if the sky falls, there will always be someone taller to hold it up.

As long as she stops complaining about her powerlessness.

In the past few years, he had no choice. If possible, he would have hoped to have someone taller to help him, but fate had awakened in him. There were many people with stronger wills than him, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not change anything.

Lin Cheng stood up and said, "Three minutes have passed in the real world. If you are sure to exit, let's go."

Lu Xiaoxiao bit the lollipop in her mouth, stood up, and looked into Lin Cheng's eyes, "I want to try again."

"It's up to you. Tell me when you want to give up."

Lin Cheng continued to hold the lollipop in his mouth and punched Lu Xiaoxiao's head again. Lu Xiaoxiao dodged and heard Lin Cheng say, "Actually, there is no need to fight like this. Maybe I am too strict with you."

"If you can do it...so can I." Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes revealed a particularly deep stubbornness.
