180. Inch Power: Brain Opening!
However, Bronya quickly discovered a blind spot: Yun Ling's age.
Could he also be a MANTIS warrior with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years?
If that's really the case, then Yun Ling must be from the Previous Era like Fu Hua! Therefore, he and Fu Hua must know each other.
However, it doesn't seem like they know each other.
If it's Otto...
No, that's unlikely.
Five hundred years ago, even if the Schicksal was an incredibly powerful organization, it would have been impossible to create a MANTIS Warrior.
Could it be a Solium Body?
Bronya shifted her gaze to Yun Ling, then cautiously walked up to him and poked him with a small stick.
Not satisfied with that, she poked his face with her hand again.
It looks exactly like real human skin, so it's probably not a Solium body. Although Solium can simulate the texture of skin, there's still a big difference when you actually touch it.
"Bronya, I know I'm handsome, but if you want to play... could you please help me up a little first?" Yun Ling's voice rang out.
"..." Perhaps seeing Yun Ling's pitiful state, Bronya actually helped him up, allowing him to sit up.
However, Yun Ling's current disheveled appearance was so awful that even a dog would shake its head at him.
"He brought this on himself," Bronya glanced at him, though he was very different from the Yun Ling of her world.
But at least he wasn't as unfortunate as that Yun Ling, and he possessed extraordinary strength and a cheerful personality.
Bronya still leaned towards the idea that this world was a parallel world to her own and the idea that Yun Ling was a reborn individual. Upon closer inspection, there were quite a few illogical points to it.
Yun Ling, however, was unconvinced. He wasn't confident he could truly deceive Fu Hua, after all, Fu Hua had the Fenghuang Down!
He also didn't know if the necklace Aponia gave him would be enough to stop it.
If he accidentally revealed his simulation experience, he would face a truly brutal and chaotic situation.
With his favorability rating not yet at the required level, no one knew what the outcome would be.
He was the man who was aiming for a harem-style good ending!
He preferred not to reveal everything that had happened in the simulation unless absolutely necessary.
Currently, only Raiden Mei Herrscher Personality and his sword, Ruoshui, know about it.
But they only knew that Yun Ling possessed a hidden ability, like regaining memories of his past life.
The specifics remained unclear.
Therefore, even though he was extremely curious about Lin Chaoyu's appearance, Yun Ling dared not easily investigate the truth.
Because that would be tantamount to placing himself in the identity of 'Sword God Yun Ling'.
However, he could roughly guess some things. During the fourth simulation, the inexplicable deduction of 80,000 points from the reward settlement meant that the system must have done something behind his back.
This might be related to Lin Chaoyu's resurrection.
After all, Lin Chaoyu couldn't cultivate the 'Void Unity True Technique', let alone achieve immortality.
Therefore, Yun Ling deliberately chose to provoke Kiana and Mei, allowing himself to retreat and postpone the confrontation with Fu Hua.
Of course, those movie tickets were real.
Yun Ling sat quietly to the side, watching Lin Chaoyu instruct Kiana and Mei.
Sword God Yun Ling no longer hated Lin Chaoyu, and Fu Hua's continued choice to keep Lin Chaoyu by her side indicated that she, too, had let go of that past.
It was good that Lin Chaoyu, after her rebirth, had been able to move past that experience.
"You're drooling," Bronya said disdainfully, giving Yun Ling a look of disdain.
He's already so close to Kiana and Mei, yet he's still staring at others—what a scumbag!
"Impossible, I never drool when I see beautiful women," Yun Ling said, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Tsk..."
"By the way, do you want to learn too? Perhaps learning sword flight will give you another way to travel. What if your hovering mode malfunctions someday?"
Yun Ling glanced at the exoskeleton armor on Bronya's legs and suggested.
"No need. If it malfunctions, Bronya will fix it herself." Bronya shook her head.
Cultivating the Taixu Sword Qi wasn't very useful to her, as she was more of a pragmatist.
"…" Yun Ling suddenly fell silent, his gaze awkwardly fixed on Bronya's legs.
"…" Bronya vaguely guessed what was going on.
"Can I touch it…" Yun Ling reached out, wanting to touch Bronya's exoskeleton armor.
"No." Bronya had expected this and floated away.
"Damn it!" Yun Ling pounded his chest in frustration. He shouldn't have asked; he should have touched it directly.
At most, he'd get a beating. He was thick-skinned; it wouldn't be a problem.
"Yuna."
"Yun Ling, I'm here."
"Let me touch your legs."
"Eh~ Eh?! Here...here?"
Yuna shyly glanced around. Mei and Kiana were focused on their sword practice; surely no one was paying attention...
She gently sat down next to Yun Ling, lifting a corner of her skirt to reveal her pale, white thighs.
"...As expected, things that are too easily obtained don't feel very satisfying, Yuna. Can you resist a little?"
Yun Ling stroked Yuna's delicate thighs while making an outrageous request, vividly embodying the word "scumbag."
"Yun...Yun Ling...you can do whatever you want...uh~."
Yuna shook her head. Her greatest fear was being abandoned by Yun Ling, so she would absolutely not resist.
Yun Ling's fingertips brushed across her thigh, the electric-like sensation sending a shiver down her spine.
"Ahem, Yun Ling, the school prohibits inappropriate relationships."
Fu Hua's voice rang out softly, startling both Yun Ling and Yuna.
"Teacher Fu Hua, I asked Teacher Himeko, and she said it's fine," Yun Ling tried to explain.
"Normal relationships are allowed, but doing things like this in public is not permitted." Fu Hua shook her head, her gaze fixed on Yun Ling's hand resting on Yuna's thigh.
"Understood-"
Feeling a chill from behind, Yun Ling awkwardly withdrew his hand.
Yuna also covered her thighs with her skirt, her face flushed crimson.
Being discovered by the teacher would be terrible.
"By the way, Ms. Fu Hua, what do you think? Would you like to go to a movie with me tomorrow?" Yun Ling extended his invitation again.
"Weren't your tickets already torn up?" Fu Hua glanced at the scraps of paper lying quietly on the ground.
"They were all paper tickets, but I can see the booking information on my phone, so it's fine," Yun Ling explained.
"Why are you inviting me?" Fu Hua's voice softened unconsciously, carrying a touch of girlish shyness.
"This is... To be honest, I only invited a girl to the movies to pursue her!" Yun Ling said without hesitation.
"Teacher Fu Hua is so beautiful. How will I know if there's a chance if I don't try?"
"Is...is that so..."
Fu Hua tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Yun Ling's words were too direct, making her earlobes turn slightly red.
"Then...okay." Fu Hua nodded, agreeing to Yun Ling's invitation.
"Teacher Fu Hua actually agreed?! Then I'll try inviting Chaoyu too. Maybe I'll have a chance too!"
Yun Ling's injuries seemed to have healed considerably. He got up, dusted himself off, and tidied himself up.
Suddenly, he sensed a hint of killing intent behind him. Just as he was about to defend himself, a fist landed on the top of his head.
"Inch-force, swift and unrestrained, opening the heavens!"
