As Duka'ao walked away, he still added a few words of caution.
Lin Fei understood that this was Duka'ao's concern for Weiwei.
Although there had long been a rift between the two of them because of Weiwei's mother, and Weiwei's rebellious nature was closely tied to that, Duka'ao had always felt guilty toward his daughter. He simply wasn't good at expressing it, so he never showed it directly.
But that fatherly concern for his daughter was never fake.
Of course, Lin Fei wasn't about to change his impression of Duka'ao because of this alone.
After all, Duka'ao had done quite a few things that Lin Fei found unpleasant.
Standing at the edge of the training ground, Lin Fei—wearing the Illusory Scale armor but without the helmet—looked at Weiwei more than ten meters away and extended a hand.
"Weiwei, you go first."
"Then I won't hold back."
Since both of them already knew how strong Lin Fei was, continuing to fuss over who struck first would only seem pretentious.
The very next second, Weiwei vanished into spatial ripples.
Immediately after, countless cold weapons shot out from wave after wave of distortions, sweeping toward Lin Fei like a torrential rain.
After donning the dark alloy armor, and with the computational assistance built into the black armor, Weiwei's speed in using micro-wormhole transport increased dramatically.
The number of weapons she could transport at once also rose significantly.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
These high-density hard-alloy cold weapons had never posed a real threat to Lin Fei to begin with—
Let alone now, after he had fully armed himself.
The sound of weapons shattering rang out nonstop across the training ground, unceasing.
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound tore through the air.
Lin Fei didn't even look back. He turned and casually caught the flying axe.
Using the momentum of his rotation, he flung the axe back out.
A streak of fire flashed past along with the sound of metal colliding, and the axe shattered the long spear that had been thrust straight at Lin Fei.
The force carried by the axe didn't dissipate, sending it flying out beyond the training ground.
Space rippled once more, and the axe was instantly transmitted back—ending up in Weiwei's hand, appearing at some unknown moment right in front of Lin Fei.
She reversed her grip on the axe and slashed upward from bottom to top, drawing a curved arc toward Lin Fei.
But it still had no effect.
Instead, Lin Fei caught it between two fingers.
The fingers wrapped in the black leather of the Illusory Scale armor tightened slightly.
"Crack!"
A crisp snapping sound rang out.
Weiwei stared wide-eyed at the broken axe, disbelief flashing across her eyes.
This wasn't some disposable weapon—it was the dark alloy axe she had used earlier.
Since she was already wearing black armor, naturally she could continue using dark alloy weapons.
But…
A dark alloy axe forged from extremely rare dark iron—one of the rarest materials in the known universe—had just been casually snapped in half by Lin Fei with two fingers?!
Didn't that mean that if Lin Fei wanted to, her black armor wouldn't be able to provide much protection at all?
Still, she was only stunned for an instant before quickly regaining her composure.
She immediately abandoned the broken axe and withdrew.
Weiwei paid no attention to it, focusing entirely on the fight.
But Duka'ao, watching from afar, felt his heart bleeding as he stared at the shattered dark alloy axe.
That was dark alloy.
The Super Academy didn't even possess such resources—it was all supplied by the Sun Civilization.
And the quantity was extremely limited.
After custom-fitting black armor for the members on the Super Soldier roster, there was barely any dark iron material left.
You could say that every bit used meant that much less remaining.
Those scarce supplies existed only because the Sun Civilization valued the future potential of Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun—two of the three great super-engineering projects.
Trying to ask the Sun Civilization for more was simply impossible.
And yet, such an incredibly precious resource had just been snapped in half by Lin Fei like it was nothing.
Fortunately, the Super Academy possessed the technology to smelt and reforge dark iron—something even the Sun Civilization lacked.
Later on, Weiwei could bring the broken axe back. The internal drive core was definitely ruined, but at least part of the dark iron material could likely be reused.
Weiwei, of course, had no idea what Duka'ao was thinking at that moment.
She only had two dark alloy axes to begin with.
Since one of them was useless against Lin Fei, she didn't bother taking out the other.
Instead, she switched to an even denser barrage of cold weapons, while continuously shifting her own position through micro-wormholes, searching for an opening to attack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fists and kicks collided.
Under such dense offensive pressure, Weiwei still couldn't get close to Lin Fei at all.
No matter how sharp or cunning the angle of her attacks, they were effortlessly deflected by Lin Fei.
"Huff… huff…"
Weiwei flipped through the air several times and landed steadily on the ground in a half-kneeling stance.
Her breathing had already become ragged.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Constant high-intensity use of micro-wormhole transport, combined with the consumption of dark energy, was gradually wearing her down.
"So it really won't work…"
A trace of helplessness surfaced on her face, softened by lingering smoke and dust.
She had already guessed this outcome.
But no matter what tactics or techniques she used, she simply couldn't touch Lin Fei.
The sheer disparity between them made her feel an unavoidable sense of frustration and resignation.
"Weiwei, let's stop here for today," Lin Fei said, seeing the situation.
Although he hadn't been able to fully vent the extraordinary energy within him, this fight still felt far better than when he had brutally crushed Liu Chuang before.
"Lin Fei, wait."
"Hm? What is it?"
Lin Fei looked at Weiwei in surprise.
Weiwei stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand.
"Lin Fei, it feels like after you armed yourself, you never once took the initiative to attack me, did you?"
She had noticed it—before he put on the armor, Lin Fei had still struck at her.
But after arming himself, he had only defended against her attacks.
At most, her weapons ended up shattered all over the ground.
Of course, she knew this wasn't because Lin Fei was looking down on her.
But still…
"I'm not the kind of soft, fragile girl," she said.
"The Super Academy has Aunt Qinyin and other medical staff. They can treat combat injuries."
"So I want to see just how big the gap between us really is!"
"I see."
Lin Fei nodded in understanding and didn't refuse.
"Then Weiwei, you'd better watch closely."
"Hm!"
A flash of excitement appeared in Weiwei's eyes.
She immediately focused, her gaze locked onto every movement Lin Fei made.
At the same time, she assumed a combat stance. The auxiliary computers in both her dark plane system and her black armor were pushed to their limits.
The micro-wormhole was on standby, ready to whisk her away at any moment—
To evade Lin Fei's attack.
However—
Too fast!
Before Weiwei could even react, her vision was suddenly filled with a rapidly enlarging fist.
For the first time in her life, an intense sense of mortal danger swept through her heart.
She couldn't do anything.
All she could do was stare blankly as that punch came crashing toward her.
A violent gale scraped past her ears.
"Boom—!"
A deafening explosion roared behind her!
