Chapter 7: It Could Be a Porn Movie, or It Could Be a Horror Movie
Time rewinds to one hour ago.
Chen Yu walked for a long time before finally finding a motel in a remote nook of the mountains.
You ask why Chen Yu was looking for a run-down motel?
Chen Yu wanted to ask the original owner: You're the son of an aristocratic family, yet you have no money on your card?!
Having been transmigrated for two days, Chen Yu still couldn't accept the original owner's cowardly life.
Finding a hotel for 80 yuan a night in the center of Lanjiang City was indeed not easy.
What was even less easy was that the old grandmother at the front desk didn't look down on his blood-stained outfit.
Creak—
Pushing open the rusty iron door, it let out a tooth-aching screech.
Chen Yu was actually afraid he might break the door and the owner would make him pay for it.
The moment he stepped inside, a smell of old mold mixed with dust rushed into his nasal cavity.
A bedroom and a bathroom were forcefully crammed into a room less than 20 square meters.
Yellowing, peeling walls, and an old-fashioned tungsten lamp that flickered dim and bright.
Aside from a wooden plank bed, there was no other furniture.
"80 bucks, as long as there aren't any invisible roommates, it's fine." Chen Yu waved his hand in front of his nose, chasing away the foul air.
Taking off his blood-stained clothes to reveal his lean muscles and eight-pack abs, he turned on the shower, letting cool water flow over his body.
His mind instantly cleared up a bit.
He began to organize everything that had happened today; Zhang Li's shadow lingered over it all.
He had an intuition that Zhang Li was not as simple as he had seen.
regarding strength.
She was suspected of possessing the Logia Gas-Gas Fruit. In this world that hadn't yet realized that Haki reigned supreme, as long as she revealed it, she would definitely have a brighter future than following Chen Guodong.
But she insisted on hiding her strength and lying dormant in the Chen family.
Why?
To let Chen Chen get the position of the Chen family head?
There was no need to go through so much trouble. She didn't need to kill him at all; she only needed to reveal her Logia ability.
Those Chen family elders would be begging to let Chen Chen be the family head.
Chen Yu recalled the pattern on the dagger he saw when he woke up. "That pattern... I haven't seen it before."
Also,
When he woke up, there was clearly a wound on his throat.
But it miraculously healed gradually.
"Is this a soul transmigration that comes with self-healing?" He looked at his neck in the bathroom mirror.
There wasn't even a scar.
"I can't figure it out..."
Creak—
Chen Yu turned off the shower, retracting all his thoughts in an instant.
Without a lead, overthinking would yield no results.
But fortunately, when it comes down to it, this world still respects strength above all else. As long as his strength was great enough, all underhanded ghostly tricks were meaningless.
Revenge must be taken, so rapidly improving his strength was the top priority.
"Roger's Panel..."
Chen Yu focused his consciousness on the character panel and was suddenly startled.
"This is?!"
He saw that his Taijutsu, which was originally Lv3 with 50 proficiency, had now risen to 99 proficiency.
He was just one step away from Lv4.
Compared to when he dodged Chen Guodong's two slaps earlier, his Observation Haki proficiency and Conqueror's Haki had also improved.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu guessed that this was the improvement brought about by the [Top-Tier Taijutsu Talent] and [Top-Tier Three-Color Haki Talent].
"Terrifying!"
While sighing with emotion, Chen Yu continuously performed Finger Pistol, attempting to raise [Taijutsu - Marine Six Style ] to Level 4.
Swish swish swish!!
Chen Yu used his fingers as spears, the sound of breaking air ringing out constantly.
Before long.
A silent hum appeared in Chen Yu's brain.
[Taijutsu - Marine Six Style : Lv3 -> 4/5, Proficiency 0/100]
(Unlock Effect: Mastery of Marine Six Style . Next Level Unlock Effect: Life Return.)
"It really works!" Chen Yu punched the air excitedly.
In his mind, the knowledge regarding the Marine Six Style became deeper; the six styles could be combined and used perfectly.
What Chen Yu looked forward to even more was the next level's effect, Life Return!
This was a special ability in One Piece where the user could freely control every part of their body.
By pouring consciousness into them, one could control hair, internal organs, and so on.
In One Piece, aside from some who trained extremely hard, only those born as freaks could possess this ability.
Chen Yu lay on the bed in a big double side bed.
"There's also military training in a month..." He remembered the "military training" mentioned by the host at the end of today's awakening ceremony.
In the Awakener's Handbook from his memory, the chapter on "New Student Military Training" stated clearly:
Newly advanced Awakeners must participate in a three-month Alliance military training.
The location is at the edge of the "Mist Forest" in District 7 outside the Great Wall. It is a combat training ground with low-tier Ferocious Beasts.
"Training facing Ferocious Beasts directly..."
The reason Ferocious Beasts were called
"Ferocious" was that they emitted a fierce aura.
If it was their first contact with Ferocious Beasts, most Awakeners would lose their combat ability due to fear.
"Doesn't that sound a lot like Conqueror's Haki?" Chen Yu rolled over.
The handbook also wrote: The top 10% in military training have a chance to be selected by the Awakener University.
That was a higher institution for Awakeners, with top-tier mentors, resources, and opportunities to access core knowledge.
"The road to becoming strong is long... Yawn." Chen Yu yawned as drowsiness hit him.
He was truly tired today.
Click!
A soft sound abruptly echoed in the silent room.
Chen Yu's eyes snapped open. Observation Haki spread out at full power as he instantly sprang up from the bed, muscles taut like a leopard ready to strike.
His nerves, which had just relaxed, tightened violently.
By the dim moonlight, he saw standing right in front of him was a... beautiful girl?!
About sixteen or seventeen years old.
She wore a simple ponytail, the stray hairs on her forehead a bit messy, her cheeks flushed from running.
She was tall and slender, wearing a black robe, but beneath the black robe was a gorgeous long dress. Her ice-blue eyes were as bright as sapphires in the dark night.
Her exposed skin glowed white under the moonlight.
A very good-looking girl, like a magnificent work of art where Nuwa showed off her skills, completely out of place with the moldy smell of this run-down motel.
Chen Yu's brain short-circuited for a moment.
Desolate wilderness, run-down motel, late at night, beautiful girl, alone together, two people, accidental discharge...
This could be a porn movie.
Or it could be a horror movie.
"Who are you?" Chen Yu's voice was low, carrying wariness.
The girl obviously paused, and a crisp yet somewhat timid female voice came: "Shh, don't... don't talk first."
Chen Yu was stunned..
In the perception of his Observation Haki, the other party held no hostility.
So what kind of weird development was this?
The two of them stood there in a stalemate.
Until a blush gradually crept over the girl's face. She turned her head away, then secretly raised her eyes to peek at Chen Yu.
Her face turned even redder with a "whoosh," and she hurriedly lowered her head. "Put... put on some clothes!"
Only then did Chen Yu remember that after showering, he was only wearing a pair of boxers.
He casually grabbed the T-shirt on the bed that wasn't too bloodstained and pulled it on, his tone softening a bit. "Who exactly are you?"
"I-I... I am a student from Lanjiang No. 1 High School," the girl whispered.
Lanjiang No. 1 High School?
The same school as me?
"What's your name?" Chen Yu shifted his posture, making it easier to burst into action suddenly.
"None of your business." The girl's tone suddenly became stiff, and she kept a straight face.
Chen Yu guessed her intention was probably to be serious, but her expression right now couldn't be called serious.
It could even be called cute.
Cute enough that Chen Yu wanted to punch her to death!
Then punch her to death! Chen Yu suddenly exploded into motion.
"Wait! Don't attack!" Seeing Chen Yu move, the girl raised her hand to stop him. "I'm not a bad person."
Chen Yu's explosive movement paused, and his heart went cold.
The other party actually saw through his intention in an instant.
Did she have Observation Haki too?
"I'll leave after staying for a while!" The girl's voice sounded again.
Observation Haki confirmed it again; the other party really had no hostility.
Chen Yu's brain spun. "You're hiding from someone?"
"How did you..." The girl stopped halfway through her sentence, her small face going stiff again.
"None of your business."
"..."
