CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: HER GUARD AGAINST HIM

But he didn’t think much of it and quickly exited the viewing mode.

At the center of the battle, the Invincible Little Overlord piloting the Mecha had an unusual crimson glow in his eyes, his moves becoming increasingly ferocious.

His golden hair seemed to be stained with blood, adding a touch of ghostliness.

This is a sign of the onset of the Ancestral Stage.

The military profession has the highest occurrence of the Ancestral Stage, not only because their Spiritual Power Level is higher than ordinary people, but also because the environment they are exposed to is mostly monotonous and dull.

The cruelty of the battlefield leaves a deep imprint on their hearts, combined with the necessity to constantly take Nutritional Supplements and exposure to naturally radioactive substances due to the urgency of the battlefield, leads to a high, unstable, and more brutal frequency of Ancestral Stage in military personnel.

Some soldiers in the Ancestral Stage choose to enter the Second World to vent their surging animalistic instincts, like the current Invincible Little Overlord.

The animalistic instincts affected his rationality, making his attacks increasingly brutal, almost lethal with every move.

The scene was tense, making the spectators more and more excited.

The match continued...

——————

On the other side, in the virtual cabin.

Su Ruan sent her sketches from the past few days to Little Lu.

Lu Shinian glanced at them and said they were sketches, but they were indeed very rough sketches.

A few simple strokes outlined the shape of the clothes, with the maple leaf emblem unique to the Federation Empire on the left shoulder, and nothing else.

He was silent for two seconds before pointing out a fact.

"You haven’t designed anything yet."

Su Ruan: ...

It didn’t have to be so blunt.

"I have no inspiration," Su Ruan admitted frankly, "That’s why I came to watch Mecha battles."

"Military uniforms aren’t worn inside the Mecha," Lu Shinian pointed out, "So watching Mecha battles won’t help."

Su Ruan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, her tone indifferent, "Yes, I know."

"But it’s difficult to come into contact with real soldiers here."

Anyone who can pilot a Mecha, even in the Second World, has Spiritual Power of C Level or above. If you’re lucky, you might even see soldiers in battle, though the chances are slim.

Lu Shinian suddenly understood what she meant.

He took a step forward, standing straight, "I am one."

He dressed in black clothes and pants, the tight fit outlining his physique completely, broad shoulders and a slim waist, faintly revealing a beautiful V-line.

Su Ruan narrowed her eyes slightly, but felt a twinge of caution in her heart.

This person is overly enthusiastic.

She discreetly assessed him, a faint coolness in her brows and eyes.

"We are merely an employer-employee relationship."

She warned with a hint of caution, "You don’t have to disclose your real-life situation to me."

Lu Shinian’s heart tightened slightly, realizing that Su Ruan had become wary of him.

But this experience was novel; although she had been wary of him in the past, more often she was flustered and eager to escape.

But now, her wariness was cold and unyielding, even assertive.

This is the attitude she should have towards a stranger like him.

Lu Shinian slightly lowered his eyes, showing no emotion on the surface, but felt a hint of joy inside.

At the very least, the former Ruan Ruan didn’t see him as a complete stranger. To her, he was still special.

Seeing Little Lu fall silent, Su Ruan thought perhaps she had spoken too harshly, and maybe he really was just being kind?

With this thought, Su Ruan slightly withdrew her coldness and added, "It’s best not to disclose your real-life situation to anyone."
