CHAPTER 621: CHAPTER 31: THE SHOW BEGINS

As Xiao Xian and Xuerou were talking, down in the dorm building, Zhang Yiyi was practicing each and every combat technique taught during the day by Juliet One.

It was already past midnight, and according to Juliet One, night time is the most suitable time for practice. After a day’s precipitation, the body enters the most fatigued state, and to train at this time is the easiest way to stimulate one’s potential and achieve a breakthrough.

There was no moonlight, and the sand reflected a faint glimmer of light, Zhang Yiyi’s pupils turned a grayish-brown, like a nocturnal creature’s, distinguishing the subtle movements in the surrounding wind and grass.

"He’s testing you... if your strength is inadequate... he doesn’t care," the devilish test made Zhang Yiyi’s feet grind over the fine sand, emitting an annoying squeak.

In her life, what she hated most was an indifferent attitude. When her parents divorced, her mother treated her as someone indifferent, leaving her behind in the country.

At the sports school, she was someone indifferent in the eyes of teachers and classmates.

For the most part of the past decade, Zhang Yiyi had been considered someone indifferent by others, like an ant living in the desert, swallowed by the sand, evaporating under the sunlight, her existence or non-existence, both seemed indifferent.

The sand was lifted by the wind. Zhang Yiyi exhaled deeply, replaying the course content of Juliet One in her mind as if rewinding.

Before attending Juliet One’s training, if someone had told Zhang Yiyi to learn how to fight from a robot, she would have scoffed at the notion.

Now, she no longer thought that way. Juliet One was a robot, and no one in North Campus knew who its creator was, just as the existence of North Campus itself was a mystery.

Juliet One’s course was based on actual combat, with various techniques and moves. Though the robot’s training was mechanical and emotionless, the movements were precise and ruthless, making training especially challenging.

However, such training also had an advantage over human training that was unmatched: there was no leniency, no room for favors, right was right, wrong was wrong, just like a math problem, 1 + 1 equaled 2.

Juliet One’s martial arts database was constantly updated, creating a combat system that was most suitable for Zhang Yiyi.

According to Juliet One’s analysis, Zhang Yiyi was a Superpower User, different from a Cultivator; she had no external Spiritual Power or animal assistance to rely on, her only reliance was herself.

Brain, body; an outstanding Superpower User must fully integrate these two. Under optimal conditions, at least one of these aspects must be explored to its fullest potential.

Xuerou utilized her intelligence, while Yiyi could only rely on her body. Her advantage was her astonishing observational ability and knack for evasion, but the downside was that her punches lacked power, and she had insufficient combat experience.

During the first lesson, Juliet One had asked Zhang Yiyi what was the first thing she would do in a dire situation.

"Run for my life," Zhang Yiyi blurted out, suspecting that if Juliet One were not a robot, it might have burst out laughing on the spot.

"Even if you successfully flee, if there are others around you, such as your friends Zhu Xiaoxian or Zeng Xuerou, or perhaps your kin, more specifically, like your father. Are you sure your choice would still be to run for your life?" As expected of a robot, Juliet One had already accessed Zhang Yiyi’s profile. Humans have weaknesses, and Zhang Yiyi’s were too obvious.

"No, I would fight to the death to protect them," Zhang Yiyi answered decisively. She was a stubborn person; in such a situation, even if facing an insurmountable barrier, she would charge at it without hesitation.

"To protect others, you need strength. What you need to do is to become powerful. Learn to assess the situation. I’ll teach you how to avoid enemies first, including the side flash, pitch, and Blocking Crotch and Waist." Juliet One conjured a sequence of lights and shadows, similar to the central computer class, presenting Zhang Yiyi with an entirely new combat simulation scenario.

A woman dressed in a pink combat suit appeared in front of Zhang Yiyi. Before she could marvel at Juliet One’s new image, Yiyi was suddenly hoisted into the air, thrown up, and slammed onto the ground in a breath’s moment; the chilling Zhu-style Rotary Blade halted just a hair’s breadth from her throat.
