Chapter 24: Testing.
Lin Tao spent the majority of his days on Lust Island after his battle with the [Unknown], but he sensed that the apartment, which was sealed with something, gave off the impression that someone had just entered and was looking around.
So, he asked Lisa to look after Xiao Lei as he will go and meet the guest that had used that weird to lock them inside the room.
Since Eliora and Ai were not with them, he was also concerned for them, so he could only greet the person directly to learn more about them and the circumstances surrounding their attack.
In the meantime.
the group of spectators who arrived to witness what transpired in the space where Lin Tao and his two supporters had been imprisoned for the test.
However, they were unable to locate any resonance in the vicinity, making them unable to detect any strange energy or signs of the use of any kind of charm or treasure.
The fact that the tall, broad guy in the middle was the one who was acting more cautiously among the three was another factor in the trio's unease.
In order to prevent a sneak attack from the other side, which might still be present inside the room but using stealth-like abilities, he was placed in the center of the room.
"Hah!!! There is no one inside the room." Given how long it had been and the fact that he had even felt the other group members breathing, which could only indicate that they had passed away or been killed, the tall man exhaled with relief.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, a powerful kick with inner energy came crashing onto his back, and the force behind it sent him flying out the window while he was still falling.
He was only then able to realize that he had been attacked.
'Eh!!!' The other two realized something when they saw the large man flying out of the window and noticed a presence behind them.
This realization and feeling of dread caused them to develop an unsettling feeling inside their pigs.
But because they were professionals, they knew that something of this caliber would not be sufficient to make them helpless.
Instead, they both punched the other person using the quickest and most effective method possible.
Lin Tao sent out a one-two strike of lightning-fast kicks that used inner energy as he side-stepped to avoid those attacks, grinning at their response and professional sense as his body reacted on its own, like that of lightning.
Bang!
Guff!!!
The attack was primarily directed at one of the opponents because he was less adept at defending himself, while the other's response was quick because he had crossed his arm to take the blow from the front and was only slightly knocked back.
"Bro Guan..." While taking that hit, he was looking at his brother, who was on the verge of passing out, causing him to be astounded by the young child's destructive ability at such a young age.
"You brat, sure have strength. I am astonished you can throw such punches with such physics, but your foundation is way too lacking, or else your strength would have been more dangerous than this." Lin Tao politely thanked and took a breath in.
"Thank you for your kind words. However, I would be even more appreciative if Senior would reveal to me the identity of the perpetrator and the rationale behind why they locked us all up in that strange place."
While Lin Tao knew the other party was fighting him with all of their skills, he still smiled politely because he knew they had no intention of killing him.
Because there was no plausible explanation for how the person who locked them could have killed them in that peculiar space, the other side must be some sort of test.
"Good, I'll try to kill you from now on. Be in top physical condition, or I might kill the man young Miss has selected."
Suddenly Lin Tao felt that other side got dangerous as he took the pose of fighting.
Blood thirst...
It was the first time Lin Tao had faced an opponent with internal energy control on a battlefield; up until that point, he had only faced different opponents and had not practiced killing anything other than that strange Unknown thing.
He may be facing a human foe in this conflict who is skilled in martial arts and has mastery over their inner energies, making this the first time he has encountered such an opponent's killing intent.
As a result, he did not sit during the ceremony and let out so much inner energy that a thin energy sheet of red volatile energy could be seen encircling Lin Tao.
The enemy was slightly surprised by Lin Tao's decision to turn and dash back, so he used his best speed to charge toward Lin Tao.
Lin Tao only pretended to be running back, but he used the momentum to land a 180-degree kick on the enemy's head.
The opponent was unable to understand Lin Tao's movement, which involved turning back and kicking the opponent from above while twisting the kick so dramatically.
However, Lin Tao's side gave this surprise element a slight advantage by twisting his body and delivering fierce kicks.
The old man could only withstand the one-sided beating from the other side because of this combined with the fact that the enemy was defending as a result of the surprise attack pattern.
'Fuck...'
The old guy was pissed, as he released a large amount of inner energy and jumped back through the window.
When Lin Tao turned to look, he saw that the person who had been knocked out had also vanished.
Lin Tao felt lucky that the person who had carried the person had not attacked him, even though he had sensed the person's presence; however, if he had, it would have been of no consequence.
Therefore, it was the first time since he had merged with the system that he felt a little threatened by something that might take his life or the life of someone close to him.
"It must be the strange space lock guy, and the big guy was still alive after falling, indicating that he was a pretty strong opponent. If I hadn't thrown him out, I would have had to take a beating to defeat all three of them acting together."
The matrix world soon started to vanish, and he then appeared in his room in the real world. He glanced at the clock and saw that only an hour had passed since all of this had occurred, and he speculated that this might be the result of the matrix time-lagging reality.
"I can now go back to college, which is a good thing because otherwise, all of my hard work would have been for nothing."
The previous day, Lin Tao had worked extremely hard to attract the attention of the campus beauty and was considering continuing his pursuit of her.
As it took him some time to explain the details to Xiao Lei and Lisa, he then called them out. At the same time, Eliora called and gave him the details.
Lin Tao made light of the situation, believing it to be merely a test from his father-in-law. His grandfather-in-law was forced to make the first move.
In order to get his thoughts in order, he left the house, but not before approaching Lisa and speaking to her briefly while they were both in the island of Lust.
"Lisa, with everything going on, I was thinking of teaching my martial art to you, complete with the hidden skills as well."
Due to Lisa's previous deed of aiding him, the system now recognizes both she and Xiao Lei as being his women.
As a result, both of them can now receive skill injections from him, whereas due to Xiao Lei's weak character, Lin Tao wants to give her healing or a similar skill.
While Lisa was best choice for passing his martial arts too.
