Chapter Two, the foremost master of ancient martial arts in District 416
Shaolin glanced at the parasitic beast shell in his hand, lifted one leg as if performing a split, and forcefully stomped down his heel. At the same time, the parasitic beast shell was thrown out with lightning speed. Although baseball is not popular in China, striking a pose is still acceptable. The parasitic beast shell traced a graceful arc and was accurately thrown into the nearby recycling device
The scientific research capabilities of the Sigluna Time and Space Research Institute are the strongest among all institutions. However, it does not engage in production; instead, it publishes its research findings and authorizes capable manufacturers to produce them. Due to its emphasis on research and development, the update of products is significantly slower than that of the other three companies, resulting in a relatively low market share. It is precisely for this reason that every product from the Sigluna Time and Space Research Institute is the best. The quantity distributed each time is also the least.
As some indiscreet individuals have remarked: "The fusion process of biological parasitic beasts is akin to the painful yet necessary ordeal of childbirth for women." Everyone who has undergone the fusion vividly remembers their experiences at that time
As soon as Lu Yinan moved, among the few people surrounding him on the right, someone immediately attempted to block him with a seemingly practiced knife-hand strike aimed directly at Lu Yinan's left rib
It is rare for Shao Lin to have such masculine actions! With the fusion completed, Chai Li Jun, in a good mood, joked.
On Li Jian's virtual screen, the page he was looking for quickly appeared: 'Fantasy Sword Spirit Central Server'. After entering his ID and password, Li Jian smoothly accessed 'Divine Era', a highly acclaimed new role-playing adventure game. 'Divine Era' is the flagship game that Polaris Entertainment Company has been vigorously promoting, and it has gained significant popularity. Within less than four months of its launch, the number of registered users has surpassed 100 million, and it has recently entered the top ten of the global entertainment game rankings for the first time, indicating a promising future for the game. Li Jian started playing 'Divine Era' as soon as it was released.
Lu Yinan
As Shaolin issued the command, his feet slowly lifted off the ground, and his entire body floated in the air
Li Jian, who completed this process a bit earlier, was now floating at a height of three to four meters above the ground, with his eyes closed in a posture that appeared to be sleeping. It was unclear which parasitic beast's function he was testing.
Hehe! Hehe! Hehe! Why speak like this? We are old friends, isn't it reasonable to be a bit more familiar?
Regarding the few sycophants around Zhao Pinghu, Lu Yinan naturally had seen much more. Therefore, when responding, he did not concern himself with any notions of courtesy or politeness
Seeing this scene, Shao Lin did not dare to step forward to help. He quickly opened the 'Tianyan' communication channel to call over a good friend for assistance. After all, he had a good relationship with Lu Yinan and was worried that Lu Yinan might suffer among so many people.
Seeing that Li Jian had already taken action, Shao Lin said to Chai Lijun: "We might as well not look at m.hetushu.com anymore, let's get started. If we stay here any longer, I won't dare to!"
Having extensive experience in fighting, Lu Yinan naturally knows that he cannot allow himself to be surrounded. In the midst of the scuffle, he accelerates to the right with all his might. At such a high speed, it is impossible for everyone to keep up with him
Although some were filled with fear and hesitated to retreat due to Lu Yinan's initial dominance, they could not help but press on, bolstered by Zhao Pinghu's past authority. At Zhao Pinghu's commanding shout, the group of over ten surrounding Lu Yinan quickly dispersed. Then, they charged from all directions.
After trying to control himself to move forward, retreat, turn left, shift right, ascend, and descend, Shao Lin was able to master flight control without any issues and gradually accelerated upward into the sky
After receiving the operational instructions transmitted by the Parasite Beast, Shao Lin instructed the intelligence core to perform neural stimulation. This neural stimulation, akin to ancient acupuncture, can significantly alleviate the pain of the fusion process, as Shao Lin acknowledges that he does not possess Li Jian's level of endurance
Shuolin, Li Jian, Chai Lijun, and Zheng Lishuang received a biological parasitic beast that is not a product of any of the three major suppliers, but rather the 'VR-80' developed by the highly coveted Sigluth Nema Space-Time Research Institute among the four providers
Shaolin estimated his flying speed to be around 300 kilometers per hour. With no obstacles in the sky, he felt there was no need to be overly cautious. Not far from the school district, Shaolin spotted the troublesome Zhao Pinghu and his group. ... There were about a dozen students floating in the air, and they were not waiting for a well-behaved boy like Shaolin, but rather ...
"Pah!" Lu Yinan said disdainfully, "If it weren't for the school district's guidance preventing me from clashing with you, you would have been sent to the hospital again long ago. You dare to challenge me! You have no hope in this lifetime. Do you think ancient martial arts can be mastered by fools?"
Confronted by the group led by Zhao Pinghu, Lu Yinan remained unafraid and called out casually
With such a heavy impact, the other party immediately released their ankle and slowly descended to the ground, clearly in unbearable pain
When the eyes are closed, due to the simulation function of the 'Heavenly Eye', a screen that does not actually exist will appear before the user, with its size controlled by the user themselves. In conjunction with the intelligent core, it can also create a virtual reality that allows the body to have sensations.
Among the four, the fastest to act was Li Jian. The VR-80 biological parasitic beast had an oval shape, with six evenly spaced flow lines radiating from the center, dividing it into six parts. A round, crystal-like protrusion was the intelligence core of the parasitic beast. Li Jian pressed the unlock button on the back for braking. With a soft click, the soft, nearly transparent body of the parasitic beast crawled out from the cracked shell. Upon reaching Li Jian, who was holding the shell, it began to extend along his hands. As the parasitic beast started to merge into Li Jian's body, a tearing pain spread across his skin. The process of merging with the biological parasitic beast was always very uncomfortable. After enduring for a moment, Li Jian still revealed a painful expression, struggling to bear it.
You think that the "Chinese Traditional Martial Arts Integration System" can turn a group of fools into fighting experts in just one minute
Now that everyone is on equal footing, we are all masters of ancient martial arts without needing to practice. Lu Yinan, why not come and see how my skills are? With a malicious smile, Zhang Jun, who was behind Zhao Pinghu, also said loudly
After a period of enduring difficulty, Shao Lin finally completed the trial that everyone of this age must undergo
The intercepted Lu Yinan naturally had no good mood, and said coldly: "Zhao Pinghu? Do you think that now that you have merged with the biological parasitic beast, you can come to trouble me? Haven't the previous encounters been painful enough?" Lu Yinan's tone was calm and unperturbed, still maintaining his composure. These two old rivals were extremely familiar with each other. He knew that Zhao Pinghu's current pretense of elegance was merely a deliberate act. Although he was facing more than a dozen people, Lu Yinan, alone, was not particularly afraid. He understood that Zhao Pinghu's current pretense of elegance was merely a deliberate act. Although he was facing more than a dozen people, Lu Yinan, alone, was not particularly afraid.
Zhao Pinghu saw the two individuals falling down, and the protective function of the protective suit was activated. In an instant, it inflated into a massive balloon. Bang! Bang! With two loud thuds against the ground, it resembled a bubble-popping game. He couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had already integrated with the biological parasitic beast, such a high fall would surely have resulted in death.
Hu Ye and Zhang Jun were loudly commanded by Zhao Pinghu to intercept Lu Yinan, who was charging towards them. Lu Yinan swayed left and right, and after a feint, both of them were kicked away in succession. They had been taught a lesson by Lu Yinan multiple times and had rich experience of being beaten.
Lu Yinan's mastery of the anti-gravity personal flying device technology is unparalleled in the 416 school district. The sky is so vast that a dozen people cannot encircle him at all. After flying several more laps, Lu Yinan essentially resolves his opponents one-on-one. Zhao Pinghu's earlier composure has completely vanished. The expression on his face is comparable to that of an ancient shrew.
Hmph! Then come on!
"Hoo! A capture technique! He really has some skill." Lu Yinan did not change his move, allowing the opponent to easily grab him. His body was suddenly pulled over.
Lu Yinan did not give his opponent a moment of joy; he twisted his body, forming a perfect arc, and his unrestrained right foot traced a semicircle, striking the opponent's shoulder with a back kick, sending the opponent flying. This was a deliberate effort to avoid hitting the head, a vital target.
In principle, they no longer need to remain in the 416 School District. Instead, they can return to express their intentions, and based on their usual performance, see which major companies are interested in recruiting them. Alternatively, they could apply for a higher level of study. Such matters can be handled without being physically present. Therefore, Shao Lin plans to fly directly back home.
Do not be afraid, we will not bully you
The other party withdrew their hand and the book knife, spreading their five fingers, and firmly grasped Lu Yinan's ankle.
The fusion was complete. Shao Lin gently stretched his body and felt something marvelous happening. Although he appeared to have grown slightly taller due to the absorption of the parasitic beast, there was not much change in his outward appearance. However, the sensations within his body were distinctly different; his muscles felt stronger, and his senses were more acute. In short, everything was significantly better than before.
Before Shao Lin could react much, a slender boy of the same age rushed over from behind at a speed three to four times faster than Shao Lin. There was no doubt, he was the one the more than ten students ahead were waiting for. Upon seeing Zhao Pinghu and his group blocking the way, Lu Yinan spat disdainfully and came to a halt in mid-air
With a slight bend of the knee, Lu Yinan kicked forward, his legs longer than his arms, making it likely that the opponent would be the first to bear the brunt of the attack
"Go die!" Shao Lin retorted angrily.
At first, they could rely on their numbers. Moreover, after merging with the parasitic beasts, they felt somewhat more confident. However, now, watching Lu Yinan's rapid flight made them dizzy. Even if they had the courage to intercept Lu Yinan, they lacked the ability to do so. After taking a couple of kicks, Hu Ye and Zhang Jun dared not approach Lu Yinan.
However, Zhao Pinghu, who possesses a certain depth of character, is able to maintain a steady demeanor in his speech, not allowing emotional fluctuations to manifest verbally
After the biological invasion in the Fourth Space, various countries convened and issued a statement: humanity is at a critical juncture, facing a significant risk of genocide. The distribution of biological parasitic beasts is deemed a necessary measure. This statement was accepted by the majority of countries, and humanity as a whole began to integrate biological parasitic beasts, not to enhance military strength, but to maximize the chances of survival in the face of danger. It aims to ensure that humanity retains a final vestige of vitality, preventing total annihilation and guaranteeing the continuation of the race.

Lu Yinan also understood the need for restraint in his actions; initially, he had held back when dealing with those he had struck down. After all, constantly sending people to the hospital would eventually lead to trouble for himself.
A group of over ten people spoke up, naturally dominating the conversation. Moreover, they all harbored some resentment towards Lu Yinan. This guy had bullied them countless times, and after waiting so long for this day, they were determined to make him pay.
The first thing Shao Lin wanted to try was the built-in "flying device" function of the biological parasitic beast. Although everyone usually has their own personal flying device, due to safety concerns, no one has experienced high-speed flight at high altitudes. Sitting in the magnetic levitation vehicle feels entirely different. This additional function of the biological parasitic beast is indeed very convenient. After taking a deep breath and stabilizing his emotions, Shao Lin began to issue commands. Sitting in the magnetic levitation vehicle feels entirely different. This additional function of the biological parasitic beast is indeed very convenient. After taking a deep breath and stabilizing his emotions, Shao Lin began to issue commands.
Two accomplices were violently kicked to the ground by Lu Yinan, and the remaining individuals were filled with rage, shouting that they would charge forward. Colliding at such high speed and then falling from an altitude of three to four thousand meters to the ground, despite the cushioning airbags of the protective suits, there is still a certain level of danger. Even with the enhanced recovery abilities after merging with the parasitic beast, it would take at least an hour to recover.
This year marks the one hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the Sigluth Namas Space-Time Research Institute, and to commemorate this occasion, the performance of the 'VR-80' is undoubtedly exceptional
The "Sky Eye" is currently one of the most indispensable technological products for humanity, alongside the "Intelligent Core." The "Sky Eye" was originally developed as an exploration tool. Its function, as the name suggests, allows users to perceive everything within the exploration range of the Sky Eye. The intended design was akin to the legendary third eye of deities, capable of seeing through the heavens and the earth, searching for everything nearby and relaying that information back to the user. However, it ultimately evolved into a consolidated product with multiple uses, including communication, entertainment, education, and media.
Although they lack consciousness, the biological parasitic beasts are controlled by the intelligence core implanted within the human body. The intelligence core, which possesses the ability for judgment, analysis, and data processing, combined with the communication media function of the Heavenly Eye, is roughly equivalent to a portable intelligent brain that can connect to the internet indefinitely. The intelligence core equipped in the latest 'VR-80' is said to be on par with the 'G4-U' of the 'Pan-Biological Technology Development Group,' which is set to launch the portable intelligent brain 'Beast God II,' boasting unparalleled performance.
Having assessed the strength of his group, Lu Yinan felt confident. He began to boldly deal with Zhao Pinghu's group, which had been causing him trouble.
Among the vast majority of graduates who have just received their biological parasitic beasts, the first ability they tend to test is that of 'flight'. Consequently, the sky outside the large gymnasium is filled with individuals floating and soaring in various postures, with some of the bolder ones having increased their speed to over several hundred kilometers per hour, heading off into the distance
Upon seeing Li Jian's appearance, Shao Lin, Chai Lijun, and Zheng Lishuang all guessed what was happening. Since they also wanted to test the capabilities of the parasitic beast, they paid no further attention to the already captivated Li Jian. Initially, they had observed that those who fused with the parasitic beast possessed boundless abilities, capable of flying and moving through the earth. They could hardly contain their envy, and now they finally had the opportunity to experience it for themselves, which truly excited them.
So many people collectively deserve a beating, and yet you bring it up so formally and sincerely; how can I not fulfill your wishes
Ascending to an altitude of approximately 3 to 4 kilometers, Shao Lin observed that the buildings beneath him appeared as small as models. It was his first time using the built-in aircraft of the biological parasitic beast to leave the ground, and he felt a bit scared, no longer daring to ascend further. Looking back, he noticed that Chai Lijun and Zheng Li were not following, and after calling out a couple of times with no response, he decided not to wait any longer. His excitement was uncontrollable as he circled in the air a few times before accelerating towards the eastern side of the school district. Shao Lin's home was located in Wudong City to the east, less than 20 kilometers away from the 416 school district.
He saw that the airbag, which had been ruptured by the impact, still played a protective role, and he let out a sigh of relief. After all, no matter how much trouble Zhao Pinghu caused, he did not want to result in a loss of life. However, the two individuals who had fallen, although not in life-threatening danger, clearly were not faring well, as they had not resurfaced for half a day.
In just a short while, Lu Yinan had dealt with most of his adversaries, leaving only Zhao Pinghu and his two most loyal followers, Hu Ye and Zhang Jun, a total of three insignificant opponents. The battle had lasted only a few seconds, and the only ones remaining in the air were the three of them.
Isn't this Lu Yinan? What's the matter? Are you in a hurry to go home? We still want to hang out with you. Don't be so dismissive, okay?
A seventeen-year-old youth with the ability to control his own behavior has also acquired this mission
The attitude of Lu Yinan pierced deeply into the most profound memories, causing Zhao Pinghu to no longer maintain the smile on his face. His handsome features appeared somewhat distorted due to the twitching at the corners of his mouth
With a hint of sarcasm, Lu Yinan, who had at least exchanged greetings, immediately took the initiative. The personal anti-gravity flying device can reach a maximum speed of 1,200 kilometers per hour. After merging with the biological parasitic beast, his physical strength significantly increased, allowing Lu Yinan to charge into the crowd at such speed without fear of injury. The recent graduates, who had just merged with the parasitic beasts and had little practical experience, were completely unprepared for Lu Yinan's speed. Although the 'Ancient Martial Arts Integration System' is integrated within the control intelligence core of the biological parasitic beast, mastering its use is not that simple. Caught off guard by Lu Yinan's sudden attack, two of these students were immediately kicked down by him.
Hehe
In fact, although the four major companies' bio-parasitic beasts each have their strengths and weaknesses, the overall performance differences are not significant. However, after the parasitic beasts merge with the human body, the individual differences can be quite pronounced
Indeed! Come up, won't you
Zhao Pinghu, with agile movements, at this moment, displayed a harmless sunny smile and a gaze devoid of any provocative intent, and began to greet Lu Yinan from a distance
Clapping his hands, Lu Yinan muttered to himself: "I didn't expect it to be even easier than before; it really feels refreshing after the integration"
Beside Zhao Pinghu, Hu Ye lacked the patience and feigned composure of his superior, loudly shouting: "We have all received 'Heavenly Mechanism' from the 'Phantom Beast Group' to teach you a lesson, and now we have integrated biological parasitic beasts. Fighting is no longer strictly prohibited by law. We are now all proficient in your ancient martial arts. Let’s see what else you can rely on."
Originally, Lu Yinan, whose physical fitness was several times stronger than that of an ordinary person due to his training in ancient martial arts, became even more formidable after merging with a biological parasitic beast. Compared to this group of individuals who had also undergone fusion, the gap in physical strength not only did not diminish but instead widened further.
Taking advantage of a moment, Lu Yinan changed direction and returned to his original position, causing that group of people to rush past him. While they were caught off guard, Lu Yinan seized the opportunity, delivering an elbow strike, a knee strike, and a kick in quick succession, knocking down three of his opponents.
Li Jian, who has long completed the integration process, is now attempting to connect to his favorite channel through 'Tianyan'
