Chapter 53 - Chapter 53: First Glimpse of Talent

"They're here! Be careful, big sister." Li Jiayu stared intently at the window, not sparing a glance for anyone else.

His voice, neither too loud nor too soft, was just enough for everyone to hear, yet it instantly silenced the entire classroom.

The boys nervously looked around, while almost all the girls huddled together, their eyes tightly shut.

A 'buzzing' sound grew from distant to near, and the true faces of the newcomers quickly appeared before everyone.

They were black beetles, each as large as a computer desk and chair, with sharp black blades bristling all over their bodies.

But what was most terrifying were their mouthparts—two mandibles, a meter long, looking like two bloodthirsty scythes!

They flew and moved through the outside of the teaching building, their red compound eyes playfully searching for prey.

These were simply war machines born for harvesting.

"Don't just stand there! Find a corner or a desk to hide under!" Honda ignored Li Jiayu's 'big sister' and glanced at the stunned students around her, reminding them out of humanitarian principle.

Upon hearing this, the girls quickly ran to hide under desks in the corners, curling up their bodies.

Some boys also showed panic, hesitating, and eventually ran to hide under desks as well.

Finally, only five boys remained standing beside Li Jiayu and Honda.

Their bodies trembled slightly, and they breathed heavily, but their eyes held complex emotions: fear, excitement, and a faint desire to fight.

In this world, even if cowards and evaders make up the majority, there are always a few brave men who, knowing it's impossible, dare to muster courage and stir up more waves in a perilous sea.

Moreover, they couldn't accept being protected by a woman (Honda).

Honda looked at the boys and shook her head slightly.

Hot-blooded guys die quickly.

If it weren't for a cheat like Li Jiayu, everyone here would probably die.

Those who run fast are lucky.

Those who run slow will eventually get a painful death.

That's how to die without suffering!

"You wet your pants just now, didn't you? I smell something strange.

Give me your underwear, and you girls hiding, throw your underwear over too, we're in a hurry!"

Hearing Li Jiayu say this, Honda almost choked.

To what extent must one's emotional intelligence be negative to make such a request without blushing or gasping for breath?

Although the intention was good, couldn't he be more subtle?

Sure enough, Li Jiayu was a natural hentai.

"You misunderstood, I just want to use your body-odor-soaked underwear to attract the Scythe Beetles' attention! Uh… if not, your stockings, denim skirts, or whatever can be used as a substitute!

Hurry, what's there to be shy about now? I don't even mind your pee, what are you being reserved for!" Seeing Honda staring at him in surprise, Li Jiayu realized the problem in his words and quickly explained!

At last, Li Jiayu shouted, his voice intimidating.

The girls gritted their teeth and quickly took off their smelly stockings, throwing them in front of Li Jiayu.

One bold and flirtatious girl, with ulterior motives, even threw her underwear over!

Just as Li Jiayu was commenting on these items, which were treasures to gentlemen, he heard a 'buzzing' sound approaching.

"Ah, it's coming, it's rushing over!"

The five boys who had decided to fight and Sun Weiwei inexplicably felt a surge of panic.

Although they had made up their minds, facing the Scythe Beetles was still terrifying.

Their legs trembled, but the five boys quickly reacted, grabbing the nearest chairs to use as weapons.

"Swish"

The Scythe Beetle flapped its wings, like a swift swallow or a black lightning bolt.

Everyone just felt "a blur before their eyes," and the Scythe Beetle had already crashed into the window!

"Clang-smash!"

In an instant, the hard window glass shattered like paper under the terrifying impact of the Scythe Beetle, turning into tiny fragments scattered all over the floor!

"Too slow!" Looking at the buzzing insects like flies, Honda's dynamic vision was already far beyond what a power-lost guy like Li Jiayu could compare to!

But to avoid stealing the spotlight too much, Honda still decided to let Li Jiayu take the lead.

The Scythe Beetle first attacked Jiayu, who was holding very strong-smelling panties.

"Hah!"

Li Jiayu spun his left foot, dodged sideways, and then moved his hand.

The fire axe, with a cold glint, like a dazzling meteor, fiercely met the wolf-like Scythe Beetle!

"As expected!" Honda thought, watching Li Jiayu deal with a considerable number of beetles.

In Honda's eyes, the movements of these two guys were really too slow.

She really wanted to just go up and finish it with one blow, but it was best to let the protagonist take all the glory.

"Be careful, big sister," Before Jiayu could finish his shout, Honda had already noticed.

The Scythe Beetle, already crippled from being cut, was flying towards her.

No, it shouldn't be flying; it should be crashing into her!

"Hmph! If it's looking for death, then there's nothing I can do."

A cold light flashed in her eyes.

The steel pipe in her hand was a long weapon, serving as a spear.

Coupled with Honda's greatly increased physical strength, she used about three-tenths of her power.

In this situation, less than five meters away, Honda didn't need to aim.

She directly threw the steel pipe at the suicidal beetle.

After a powerful whoosh, the steel pipe instantly shot towards the Scythe Beetle in mid-air.

Before the beetle could dodge, the steel pipe, with immense force, pierced through the beetle's mouthparts, directly from its lower jaw, through its neck, pinning it to the ceiling.

Jiayu was stunned, and the students were also stunned.

"Hiss~~" She didn't expect the insect's vitality to be so strong.

Even with its neck impaled, it could still emit a distress signal.

But Honda went straight up and directly pulled down the insect pinned to the ceiling.

This scene made the boys stare in disbelief.

"Damn, this insect must weigh over a hundred catties!

It was directly pulled down by such a 'weak' woman."

After delivering another blow to the beetle's head, Honda shook her head, looking at the twisted steel pipe.

She really wanted a good weapon!

Oh, right, after the Soul of the Undead awakens, she could just use Lancelot's 'A Knight Never Dies Empty-Handed'!

That would be easier to explain!

"Who has a small knife?" Li Jiayu wasn't curious about Honda's strength; he just suddenly asked his classmates.

He urgently needed to summon something to save his life.

Honda stood by, weighing the steel pipe, watching Li Jiayu self-mutilate… oh, bleed!

Just as Li Jiayu was summoning, a Scythe Beetle arrived!

Its body, twice the size of the previous one, made Li Jiayu recognize it at a glance.

Damn, at this critical moment, this guy's timing couldn't be worse.

"I can only hope big sister can hold on for a while!" Thinking this, Jiayu looked at Honda with expectant eyes, and Honda didn't refuse!

She stepped forward to meet the Scythe Beetle King and fought it spiritedly, but the steel pipe in her hand probably wouldn't last much longer!

"Please heed my call, become my companion, fight alongside me, I shall offer my sacrifice, I shall retain my utmost respect for you… Come forth, my new companion!"

Li Jiayu began to furiously pour in his mental power.

As soon as the incantation was finished, the surrounding air became turbid and viscous like paste, like the eve of a heavy rain, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

A bright light appeared at Li Jiayu's feet, with faint, strange patterns, like a magic array!

At this moment, the Scythe Beetle King, currently sparring with Honda, turned its compound eyes towards the anomaly-ridden Li Jiayu.

Its scythe-like mandibles opened and closed, emitting a sharp shriek, and it was about to charge at him!

But it was blocked by Honda and then violently smashed by her.

Now the Scythe Beetle King's rage was entirely focused on Honda, but the steel pipe was about to break.

Honda seized an opportunity and directly poked out one of the Scythe Beetle King's compound eyes.

But the steel pipe in her hand also broke, completely ruined!

"Wuwu"

The Scythe Beetle King cried out in pain, its wings flapping as fast as a fan in its fury.

It wanted to kill this human in front of it to avenge its blinded eye!

Honda looked at the steel pipe in her hand and sighed!

She was about to dodge the Scythe Beetle King's attack.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared above its head, bringing with it a thick, fishy smell, and pressed down with immense force!

The Scythe Beetle was actually crushed by this black shadow, unable to fly anymore, and fell down!

Dark Octopus appears.
