"Mom, I've made my choice. I want to give you a hug. "Christina stood beside her mother whose eyes were red from crying and finally voiced her choice.
Leaving Safety Sector No. 17 was a must.
Therefore, the family gave Christina two options.
The first option was to fulfill the marriage agreement with the Yuelin family and have the Yuelin family fetch Christina back to Huayue Safety City in the east.
The second option was to head to the main house of the Braid family the next morning.
Yes, the main house was the Braid family in Ormalor Safety City, the powerful and legendary Braid family.
It was the true foundation of Christina's family.
They were just a small branch of the family. Back in the day, Christina's grandfather was ordered to expand in Safety Sector No. 17.
Although he did not understand the main house's goal, with the Braid family's efficiency and power, it took them less than 30 years to settle down in Safety Sector No. 17.
Now that Safety Sector No. 17 was about to fall into chaos, the main house did not order the branch family to return. Instead, the main house specifically proposed two options for Christina.
Christina's grandfather was not surprised.
Firstly, Christina was a rare girl in the family.
Secondly, Christina was Tang Ling's friend and partner.
The first point might be difficult for outsiders to understand, but the core members of the Braid family knew it very well. It was either hard for a girl to be born in the family or once a girl was born, she would surely display her double talents.
Christina was undoubtedly precious to the Braid family. Even though she seemed to have average talents at the moment and did not display any talents, it was not an absolute reason.
As for the second point, it was not an absolute reason. Whether Tang Ling could grow or not, even the powerful Braid family dared not simply come to a conclusion.
However, it was an investment from the family. In short, it was more or less related to any powerful, dazzling person or family. It was a way to survive.
Whatever the case may be, this added weight to Christina's weight and status.
However, Christina herself did not know about all these.
She was even shocked. Since when did she have a marriage agreement? Or was it a family that came to strengthen itself in the east?
She was puzzled. Why would her family have such power?
It was impossible for her to know that there was a long-term, tacit relationship between the Braid family and the Yuelin family.
As long as the Brade Family gave birth to a girl, and the Brade Family was willing to marry this girl to the Yue Lin Family, the Yue Lin Family would definitely choose an outstanding male descendant to be a match for her.
Therefore, between these two choices, Christina's mother was leaning towards the first one, which was to marry her daughter to a member of the Yue Lin Family.
She knew the power of the Braid Family in the Ormaror Safety City, and she knew that the Yue Lin Family in Hua Yue City was even more powerful.
She wanted her daughter to be safe and secure.
She understood that what had happened to Vivian and Aamir had hurt her daughter deeply. She needed a stable and warm environment to heal her heart.
So, when Christina suggested that she choose the second option, which was to return to Ormalo, Christina's mother was deeply shocked and saddened.
She did not hug her daughter. Instead, she looked at Christina and said, "Are you really clear about your choice?"
"You probably don't know what kind of family the Braids are in Ormarlo. Our branch family in Safety Sector No. 17 is nothing compared to them. "
"They are powerful but cold-blooded! If you go back there, you won't be able to enjoy such comfort anymore. You will have to compete with the other members of the family for everything, including resources, status, and so on.
They treat the members of the family like breeding beasts. They will only pay attention to the most outstanding ones. As for the rest … Oh, my daughter, you can't choose this path. "In the end, Christina's red eyes started to tear up again.
She was reluctant to let her daughter leave, but she was even more reluctant to let her go to such a harsh environment.
She understood that Christina would not be underestimated because her double talent would show itself sooner or later, and by then, her Genetic Chain would change as well.
After all, the magical Genetic Chain was formed at 15 years old. It was just a general statement, and there were too many accidents in this world.
However, what she said was also true. The Braid Family treated their members that way. The more talented and valuable one was, the more hardship and training they would have to go through. It would not be as easy as what she said. It would only be more difficult than what she said.
"Mom. That's why I have to go to Ormarlo City. These days, I've learned a lot. I've lost my best friend and a group of important companions. It made me understand what I have to shoulder.
I can't just live my life in comfort. In this era, where can I find a place that is truly comfortable? The only comfort is in peace, and peace is in having a group of powerful companions that I can trust with my back.
Mom, they are waiting for me to grow stronger.
Together with Vian, they will grow stronger. " Christina cried. It was the first time the stubborn girl shed tears since she came back from the last hour of gathering with her companions.
"Can you hug me?" Christina wiped her tears away and looked at her beloved mother.
In her heart, she had decided to carry Vian's life and live together with her. Since that was the case, how could she leave their fates in the hands of a boy that she did not know?
Marriage might have been a path that she would have chosen without a second thought in the past, but she rejected it at the first moment.
If it were not for her mother's feelings, she would not have hesitated for so long before she decided to tell her daughter.
"Hug you, my daughter." Christina's mother finally went up and hugged her daughter tightly.
Tomorrow, at the latest, someone from the main family of the Braid family would come to pick Christina up. No matter how chaotic Safety Sector No. 17 was, the branch family of the Braid family would never have to worry about their safety.
However, would Tang Ling be able to escape successfully?
One thing worth noting was that his daughter, who had always been a pushover, had grown stronger, matured, and accepted the challenge overnight just to hold on to the determination in her heart.
Then, Tang Ling, you mustn't let Christina down.
**
Yu in the bedroom.
Orston on the back of the Maitreya Dark Cloud Roc.
Andy and his parents walked out of the old mansion in Safety Sector No. 17.
Christina and her mother hugged each other.
At the same time, both of them crushed a crystal-like stone in their hands.
The moment the stone shattered, four tiny but brilliant rays of light lit up and quickly dissipated into the night.
"Take it. When you're sure you're safe, crush it. Those who aren't truly safe can at least see a ray of comforting light, "Yu said when he took out the four single-use communication crystals.
At this time, four rays of light lit up, indicating that everyone was stable, even Andy had found a bright future.
'Someone else has done what I asked of the family. Could it be Tang Ling's men?' Yu, Orston, and Christina shared the same thought.
Now, only Tang Ling is left. We'll wait for you.
Indeed, waiting for Tang Ling was a matter of course. Ah Bing's butterfly knife blocked Anthony's Night Lightning again.
His eyes showed a sense of helplessness.
20 minutes had passed. Why was Tang Ling not here yet? Was something wrong? Or was he in danger?
He had been playing with Anthony for too long, so he was getting a little impatient, but what else could he do? He could not subdue the Purple Moon Warrior before him right now. If he was subdued, Safety Sector No. 17 would send out the next one, and the next.
"Who are you?" Anthony retracted his Night Lightning. Electric sparks crackled as they dispersed into the air.
If he could not sense Tang Ling's real intention in the first few minutes of the battle, in the next ten minutes or so, he realized that Tang Ling was purposely stalling for time.
There were a few times when he felt like he was going to win, but Tang Ling would miraculously turn the situation around.
There were a few times when Tang Ling was about to suppress him, but he would always make mistakes.
What did it mean? It meant that Tang Ling was much stronger than him, and he was controlling the battle!
However, that was not what bothered Anthony the most. What bothered him the most was why the man before him gave him a sense of familiarity.
"Who am I? You can call me Ah Bing. " Ah Bing answered Anthony's question, but at the same time, his butterfly knife spun and stabbed at Anthony.
Anthony had to use Night Lightning to block. Ah Bing? He had never heard of the name before! The man before him might seem to have answered his question, but he actually did not say anything.
Another three minutes passed.
Ah Bing was still fighting with Anthony.
Glory Square slowly quietened down as more and more black-robed men started to gather at the Tower.
Wherever Tang Ling was, they would be there. That was the core of the operation tonight.
Since they were gathering, it meant that the black-robed men had won the battle in Glory Square.
At the same time, the three Tiger Generals quietly put on their black robes and blended into the crowd, leaving Safety Sector No. 17 without a sound.
No one noticed it. Only a few knew that the Tiger Generals had left and would not be making a move anymore. After Tang Ling came out of the Tower, the real cruel battle would begin.
However, the cruel battle would not be a battle between the majority of the people. It would be a battle between the best of the best.
Ah Bing heaved a breath of relief when he saw the black-robed men had gathered.
He blocked Anthony's Night Lightning again, but this time, it was not as strenuous as before. Instead, it felt effortless. He suddenly sighed and said, "You're not bad. Among all the kids in the 67th batch, you're the only one who's grown to this level.
Let me guess. You haven't truly entered the realm of Rank 3 yet. You're just close to the breakthrough point of Rank 3 and you're close to Rank 3.
You're close to breaking through the third genetic lock, aren't you?
If you've truly broken through Rank 3, your lightning shouldn't be this powerful! Your body will enter a new realm and you'll truly resonate with the lightning of nature. "
As he spoke, the butterfly knife slashed across Anthony's neck with a swoosh. Anthony leaned back and dodged the critical strike.
However, at that moment, the two halves of the butterfly knife's handle suddenly separated. Ah Bing flicked one of the halves and sent it flying towards Anthony's Adam's apple.
Anthony's eyes widened. This move! This move somehow reminded him of a legendary Purple Moon Warrior who was known as the Dual Master of Spear and Arrow.
"You have to be careful not only of the tip of the spear but also the shaft of the spear! You can dodge the tip of the spear, but you can't dodge the shaft. Look at this. "
A vicious beast dodged the tip of a Purple Moon Warrior's spear, but at that very moment, the shaft of the spear was split in half. The Purple Moon Warrior flicked one of the halves and sent it flying towards the vicious beast's throat.
It's him?! How could it be him?!
Unfortunately, so what if he guessed it? Anthony could not dodge the sure-kill move, but at that moment, Ah Bing twisted his wrist and grabbed the other half of the knife hilt. He had spared Anthony.
"Judging from your eyes, you seem to remember me." Ah Bing's tone was mocking.
Anthony stood up straight again and did not continue to attack.
If it was him, he should have known his own strength.
If it was him, it would be meaningless for Anthony to continue fighting because he would never be a match for him.
"Dual Master of Spear and Arrow, the legendary Purple Moon Warrior who was once thought to have no talent but actually has an unorthodox talent of weapon mastery, Chen Daobing.
Is it you? Am I right?
"The teacher who once taught me four classes, the idol I once looked up to and followed. I didn't show any talent in the beginning until I became a rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior and awakened the lightning talent.
"But why you? Why did you betray Safety Sector No. 17? "Anthony sounded a little sorrowful.
However, Abing's expression didn't change at all. He still looked old, deep, and slightly dispirited. He said directly, "Since you already know, do you want me to take you down myself, or do you want to surrender?"
"Why don't we just surrender? Those old fellas are coming. I don't want to waste my strength on you. "Ah Bing put away his butterfly knife and looked at the east side of Glory Square.
If he continued eastward, he would reach the Darnes family's huge mansion.
He was curious about how many old fellas would be guarding the mansion. Where was Su Siao? Had he already rushed there ahead of time to wait?
Although he was following Tang Ling, it was easy to guess what he would do. He was the great leader's son after all.
"Tell me, why did you betray us?!" Anthony bellowed. He was unwilling and could not accept it. How many times had Chen Daobing's legendary stories encouraged him when he was young?!
Facing Anthony's roar, Abing reached out to pick his ears and said impatiently, "It's rare to see such a muddle-headed guy like you! I've never betrayed anyone. I've always been a member of the Dragon Army. Don't you understand? "
"Dragon Army? You … "Anthony's gaze was a little dazed as he went silent.
A few seconds later, he extended his hands, indicating that he was willing to surrender. A black-robed figure walked up and took out an electrode restraint belt.
"Use something else. This electrode restraint belt is useless against him," Ah Bing said calmly as he looked at the Tower behind him. Why hasn't Tang Ling come out yet?
Another black-robed figure took out an alloy chain. Just as he was about to tie Anthony up, he looked up. "Who's Tang Ling?"
He finally figured out the key question!
He disliked thinking and hated power struggles the most. He was immersed in the world of martial arts, so even with his rank 3 strength, he was not even a Purple Moon branch leader.
Now, it seemed like he was a little stupid.
"Who else could it be? Didn't you hear everyone calling him Young Master? "Abing walked to Anthony's side and asked him back.
Anthony trembled violently. He was really lost at that moment as he muttered to himself, "W-What should I do now? Where should I go? "
Any man with the slightest bit of courage should not go against the Dragon Army! Even if the Dragon Army was wiped out and disappeared …
In the end, they would compromise under the endless pressure and not dare to mention the Dragon Army again, but they should not go against them.
This was almost the principle of anyone with a bit of conscience!
The Dragon Army once had the hope of changing the world!
"It might hurt, but you have to endure it. Where should you go? Do you even have to ask? Focus on following Worf through the toughest times, "said Ah Bing before he signaled the black-robed figures around him with his eyes.
A few black-robed men, who seemed to be quite strong, raised their weapons and walked towards Anthony. They began to attack him fiercely.
Anthony clenched his teeth and held it in. He understood what Ah Bing meant. Ah Bing wanted to leave scars all over his body so that he could continue to stand his ground in Safety Sector No. 17. Only then could he follow the castellan quietly through the toughest times.
Inside the energy room, Tang Ling finally opened his eyes.
The energy in the room was almost depleted. The raging energy was only left with a few faint ripples.
The war seed was fully absorbed. Tang Ling felt like a single thought from him could melt the war seed and use the stored energy to temporarily strengthen him to a terrifying level.
However, the energy in the room was not depleted because of the war seed. Tang Ling could not help but use the remaining energy to charge the first vortex.
As a matter of fact, such a cultivation environment was hard to come by. Before the energy was depleted, the first vortex was almost formed, but unfortunately, it was not fully formed.
The little seed was also full, and it was in a state of being filled with energy!
If it was possible, Tang Ling would really like to open another cultivation room and continue to strengthen himself.
However, it was too late. The moment he woke up, his Precise Instinct told him that he had wasted a total of 28 minutes in the cultivation room, which was much longer than the 20 minutes he had planned.
It's time! Tang Ling stood up with dried scabs on his body. They were the result of the surging energy that broke through his capillaries after he stopped absorbing the energy. The blood that seeped out had coagulated into scabs.
Nevertheless, it did not matter. His body was in its best condition and the energy that he absorbed had repaired the capillaries.
Tang Ling tightened his body and his bulging muscles shattered the scabs before they fell to the ground.
Let's go and fight!
