Skinwalker Belle – Chapter 121 – If You Shake Me Again, I’ll Really Die

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

There was no heart-rending roar.

The white beam of light, with just a casual air, swallowed Shi Ming’s Iron Mountain Charge, which had been condensed with his full strength.

Then, it enveloped his entire body.

The light dissipated.

The hundred-meter-tall goddess phantom also turned into specks of light and vanished into the air.

In the center of the training ground, only a five-meter-diameter crater remained.

And Shi Ming was lying in the center of the deep crater.

His combat suit had turned to ash. His body was charred black, emitting wisps of smoke as he struggled with difficulty.

The entire field fell into a dead silence.

Sun Jing practically scrambled and tumbled into the five-meter-deep crater.

“Captain Shi! Captain Shi!”

Her voice was distorted with panic.

Shi Ming lay at the bottom of the crater, charred black and smoking, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.

“Don’t… don’t shake me…”

Shi Ming weakly raised a hand, trying to stop Sun Jing.

But Sun Jing, her face already streaked with tears, had cradled his head in her arms and was shaking him forcefully.

“Captain Shi, are you okay? Don’t scare me!”

“Cough… cough cough…”

Shi Ming’s eyes rolled back in his head from the shaking.

“Little… Little Jing… if you keep shaking me… I’m really going to die…”

Sun Jing froze abruptly.

Only then did she realize what she was doing. She quickly stopped and clumsily laid Shi Ming flat on the ground.

A golden light burst from her palms, pouring over Shi Ming’s charred body.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, the scorched skin began to peel away, revealing new, healthy skin underneath.

Ten seconds.

Just ten seconds.

Shi Ming’s seemingly gruesome injuries were completely healed.

He opened his eyes, moved his limbs, and sat up.

“I’m fine now.”

Lin Fan stood at the edge of the crater, quietly looking down at the scene.

A thoughtful glint flashed in her rainbow-colored eyes.

She had held back her power at the last moment of that strike.

She had thought it would at least put Shi Ming in a hospital bed for a few days.

But now…

Ten seconds.

If Sun Jing could advance further, to Level 5…

Lin Fan’s gaze fell upon Sun Jing.

The silly girl was wiping her tears with her sleeve, sniffling as she checked Shi Ming for any missed injuries.

If she reached Level 5… or even Level 6…

Could she truly bring the dead back to life?

Lin Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

This woman’s value was far greater than she had imagined.

“Miss Lei Li.”

A lazy voice interrupted Lin Fan’s thoughts.

She turned her head.

Chu Chen had appeared behind her at some point.

He was in his signature attire.

A white T-shirt, jeans, a lollipop sticking out of his mouth, and heavy dark circles under his eyes with a head of messy hair.

He was hunched over, looking as if he could fall asleep at any moment.

“Commander Chu.”

Lin Fan nodded calmly.

Chu Chen walked to the edge of the crater, glanced down at the now-standing Shi Ming, then at Sun Jing.

“Thank you for your guidance.”

His tone was sincere.

“Shi Ming and the others… have gained a lot.”

Chu Chen paused, took out a metal box, and handed it to Lin Fan.

“This is a small token of our appreciation.”

Lin Fan took the box and opened it.

Inside, two Crystals lay quietly.

Two transparent Crystals.

They were utterly pure, without any impurities, like two works of art carved from crystal.

They refracted a brilliant light under the sun.

“Level 4 special-type Crystals.”

Chu Chen pointed at the contents of the box with his lollipop stick.

“Both are universal types, usable by any ability user without rejection.”

“These are the only two left in the Magic City Base’s inventory.”

He looked up, meeting Lin Fan’s gaze with his bloodshot eyes.

“I hope that in the future monster tides… you will lend us your aid.”

“At least…”

For the first time, a trace of exhaustion and pleading appeared in Chu Chen’s eyes.

“Don’t let any more people die.”

Lin Fan looked at him quietly.

This young commander, who appeared so flippant, was actually shouldering more pressure than anyone else.

“I promise you.”

Lin Fan closed the box.

“Thanks.”

Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, his usual devil-may-care smile returning to his face.

“Then I’ll be counting on you, Miss Lei Li.”

With that, he waved his hand and left without looking back.

Lin Fan watched his hunched back, lost in thought.

In the crater, Shi Ming had been helped up by Sun Jing.

The surrounding soldiers crowded around, chattering as they asked about Shi Ming’s condition.

Shi Ming waved his hand, indicating he was fine.

He raised his head and looked at Lin Fan.

In his eyes, besides shock, there was an almost fanatical admiration.

“Miss Lei Li…”

Shi Ming took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Lin Fan.

“Thank you for your guidance!”

The surrounding soldiers also bowed in unison.

“Thank you for your guidance!”

Their voices were perfectly synchronized, shaking the entire training ground.

Lin Fan merely gave a slight nod, not saying much.

She turned and walked towards the exit of the training ground.

Sun Jing quickly trotted after her, following closely behind.

Night fell.

On the training ground, only Shi Ming and Chu Chen remained.

Chu Chen leaned against the railing at the edge of the field, pulled another lollipop from his pocket, tore off the wrapper, and stuck it in his mouth.

“How was it?”

Chu Chen turned his head to look at Shi Ming, who was still stretching his body.

“Enjoy the beating?”

Shi Ming was silent for a few seconds before shaking his head with a wry smile.

“I thought… I could at least last ten minutes.”

“But in the end…”

He looked at the large crater on the ground.

Chu Chen chuckled lightly.

He took the lollipop out of his mouth and pointed at the deep crater with the stick.

“She held back at the end.”

“What?”

Shi Ming’s head snapped up.

Chu Chen’s expression became extremely serious.

“That beam of light… at the last moment, she weakened its power by at least seventy percent.”

“Otherwise…”

He paused.

“You’d probably be in the morgue right now.”

Shi Ming’s face instantly turned deathly pale.

He remembered the white pillar of light descending from the sky, remembered the terrifying pressure that had left him unable to even resist.

That… was only thirty percent of its power?

“And that’s not all.”

Chu Chen turned around, looking towards the towering dormitory building in the distance.

“Today, from start to finish…”

“She only used her Mental Strength.”

Shi Ming’s pupils contracted violently.

A smirk played on Chu Chen’s lips.

“According to my speculation…”

Chu Chen looked up at the massive Rift in the night sky.

“She’s still hiding her strength.”

“This woman’s true power…”

He took a deep breath.

“Is probably Level 6.”

Shi Ming felt his throat go dry.

Level 6.

That was Captain Lu Yuan’s level.

But Captain Lu Yuan had reached that height only with the military’s cultivation and countless resources.

And this woman…

A wild Level 6 Evolved being.

Chu Chen stuck the lollipop back in his mouth and turned to leave.

“Shi Ming.”

Chu Chen’s voice became somewhat ethereal.

“Pray that she’s always on our side.”

Shi Ming stood rooted to the spot, motionless for a long time.

On the training ground, only the deep crater and the dust kicked up by the night wind remained.
