Li Yao narrowed his eyes and observed Huangpu Xiaoya's hands carefully. He vaguely remembered how the hands were enshrouded in lightning and soul-stirring in the Skyhill Sword Seminar.
Huangpu Xiaoya tried her best to spit at him, but she was unable to move at all. She could only gnash her teeth and say, "Bastard."
Li Yao asked calmly, "Why?"
Huangpu Shiyi replied emotionlessly, "I went to the Skyhill Domain specifically to invite the rising star of the Huangpu family to embark on the path of Immortal Cultivation and study the path of immortality together with me.
"But after all the persuasions and persuasions, she was still so stubborn that she even tried to escape when the Furious Bears Union attacked the starship.
"She has gone too far on the wrong path. There is no turning back now. It is useless to keep her alive. She might as well perish like those ants and never be reincarnated.
"However, her hands can be put to good use."
While talking, Huangpu Shiyi extended his hands that were as dry as rotten wood. His eyelids were twitching as he said, "My hands were ruined because of my crazy training. For decades, I searched for good treatments and tried all kinds of methods, but they can only be restored to the point where they can be restored occasionally.
"The doctors in the Temple of Immortals told me that the veins, nerves, and even cells inside my hands had long lost their vitality after so many years of withering. If I were an ordinary person, my hands would've rotted long ago. It was only because of the tough body of an Immortal Cultivator that I could inject vitality from other parts of my body that I managed to keep my hands afloat.
"My hands are already dead. There is no way that I can bring them back to life with drugs. The only solution is to change hands.
"If I were a battle-type Immortal Cultivator, it wouldn't be a problem to change my artificial arms that were installed with all kinds of magical equipment.
"But I am a refiner. The perception of my hands is very important. How can I use artificial arms casually?
"The doctors told me that I could change my hands to a pair of hands that had the same bloodline as mine. They gave me the hands of the descendant of my family and taught me the secret arts of hand replacement.
"If Huangpu Xiaoya had realized her mistake, I would've become an Immortal Cultivator. She was willing to become an immortal cultivator, and I was reluctant to do so. But since she was so stubborn to the end, then she can't blame me. You might as well chop off these hands first and exchange them with me, so that I can study the more profound and mysterious world of the magical equipment. "
"This is also where her opportunity lies. Although her body has been destroyed, her hands can be used with me to create countless powerful treasures. Hahahaha!"
"Li Yao, your hand speed is very fast, and you have a deep understanding of fine magical equipment. I don't think the tiny veins and muscles will be a problem for you. I don't need you to be too precise. You only need to roughly chop off the hands along the elbows as fast as possible. The rest of the work will naturally be taken care of by special medical magical equipment. "
"Come!"
Huangpu Shiyi waved his hands. Black Stone, the short, fat man, immediately offered him a tray of coldly shining lancets of different sizes. There were more than a dozen of them.
"I see."
Li Yao said indifferently. His right hand shook on the tray, and the four lancets disappeared in an instant. They turned into four silver lights. They were swimming among his fingers like silver dragons.
Black Stone's eyes suddenly shined. He smiled and said, "I didn't know that Master Li Yao was good at saber refining. You are truly an expert in sabers. Although you are not as good as Bai Lu and I, you are quite adept at it as a refiner. I believe that you can chop off the arms perfectly. "
Huangpu Xiaoya struggled hard and shrieked.
She might not be scared of death, but as a refiner, she had the instinct to protect her hands. Chopping off her hands was even more painful than killing her directly.
Besides …
When she thought that her hands would appear on Huangpu Shiyi's arms after her death and help the fiend refine magical equipment that could slaughter countless ordinary people, Huangpu Xiaoya felt indescribably disgusted. Her mouth was both numb and bitter, and she almost vomited.
"Animals. You are all animals."
She mumbled to herself. Two lines of tears ran down her cheeks helplessly.
Li Yao did not move. The silver lights were moving faster and faster. He seemed to be hesitating.
"Huh?"
Huangpu Shiyi's eyes gradually turned sharp. "You can't do it? I'm her blood uncle, and I've already cut off our mortal bond. You are just strangers to her, and you can't do it? This is not your style in the past few days, Li Yao. "
Black Stone and Bai Lu moved forward quietly and surrounded Li Yao, one on his left and the other on his right. They were more or less suspicious of him.
Shua!
The four lancets between Li Yao's fingers suddenly stopped. He grinned and admitted frankly, "Truth be told, I can't do it, because Huangpu Xiaoya offered me a bottle of hand care liquid made by the Huangpu family after the battle between me and Mo Tianshui. I owe her a debt of gratitude. If I were to chop off her hands, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself."
"Oh?"
His hands behind his back, Huangpu Shiyi secretly made a gesture. He stepped forward, with a few pieces of aggressive magical equipment in his pocket. He smiled and said, "What can you do if you feel guilty?"
Li Yao chuckled and said, "If I were to chop off her hands, my conscience would be greatly hurt. Tell me, shouldn't you pay my medical fees?"
"What?"
Huangpu Shiyi was dumbfounded. "What — what do you mean?"
Licking his lips greedily, Li Yao opened his left hand and extended it to him. "It's very simple. I don't want any money for my conscience. Let's just talk about the seven-star problem last time. There are two optimal solutions to the seven-star problem that you didn't tell me. So, let's use the two solutions to make up for the wound on my conscience."
Huangpu Shiyi was dazed. Black Stone and Bai Lu were dazed, too. Looking at each other in bewilderment, none of them knew what to say.
Li Yao said quickly, "How about it? As long as you give me the two solutions as compensation for my conscience, I'll immediately chop off the hands. I guarantee that I'll be as fast as lightning and that there won't be any bleeding in the next five seconds. That will be enough for you to carry out your follow-up work."
Huangpu Shiyi was dumbfounded.
Black Stone and Bai Lu both stepped back, with disgust beaming out of their eyes.
Although they were Immortal Cultivators, Li Yao's shamelessness was still beyond their boundaries.
Huangpu Xiaoya shrieked, "Li Yao, you are shameless! You are shameless! I must've been blind to have given such a scumbag hand maintenance fluid to you! You are so shameless that you will die a horrible death!"
Li Yao was not moved at all. The fingers on his left hand kept bouncing. "How about it? If you don't want to, you can chop them yourself. "
Huangpu Shiyi was still not sure what was on Li Yao's mind. Rolling his eyes, he sniffed and said, "Alright. I'll give you two fast algorithms for the best solutions of the seven-star problem. Then, you will chop off my hands for me. "
He turned on the light beam and clicked a few times. Then, he tapped his wrist crystal processor and the one assigned to Li Yao. Two series of complicated formulas were sent over.
Li Yao activated the light beam and browsed through the formulas unhurriedly.
Huangpu Shiyi glared at him. He said in dissatisfaction, "I've given you the solutions. What are you waiting for?"
Li Yao replied, "Of course, I have to calculate them myself. Otherwise, if I find that the solutions you gave me are wrong after I chop off my hands, do you think I can reattach them?"
While talking, he closed his eyes and mumbled to himself. His fingers were bouncing nonstop as he boosted his computational ability to the maximum openly.
Three minutes passed. When he opened his eyes again, there was a gleam of confidence in his eyes.
"It's real."
"Of course it's real. Chop off the hands now."
"Alright, I'll chop them off right now. I guarantee that you will be able to use a pair of vigorous new hands tonight."
Li Yao grinned hideously. The four lancets turned into four streaks of brilliance that were entangled on his arms. He strode toward Huangpu Xiaoya and observed her elbows with his sharp eyes, as if he was considering where to cut them off.
In Huangpu Xiaoya's eyes, she was almost crying. She shouted, "Li Yao, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
Li Yao smiled casually. "Don't blame me. I've already received compensation for my conscience. Besides, I hope that Huangpu Shiyi can have a pair of new hands, too. Because … "
While talking, Li Yao suddenly put on a strange expression. He turned around and asked, "Did the doctor say how long it will take for the new hands to recover their original capability, or even stronger?"
Huangpu Shiyi replied, "Because they are the hands of my family. The bloodline does not reject the new hands. In three days, the bloodline will completely merge with the new hands and recover seventy percent of their capability. In ten days, they will be fully recovered. In one month, they will be able to advance to a higher level. "
Li Yao frowned and retracted his lancets. He asked again, "What about one day? How much can they be recovered in one day? "
Huangpu Shiyi replied, "Maybe thirty to fifty percent in one day. What's the matter?"
Li Yao said, "In that case, can we postpone it for one day and change your hands tomorrow night? After all, we still have two days before Fengyu Zhong. That should be enough. "
Huangpu Shiyi narrowed his eyes. Killing intent rose in them again. "Why?"
"Because …"
Li Yao's face was burning with passion. He said, one word after another, "Tomorrow, I hope that I will challenge you, the master of the Skyhill Sword Seminar thirty years ago, and the best heir of the two noble families of swords in the past fifty years, Huangpu Shiyi."
"What? You want to challenge me? Do you know what level you are, and what level I am? You are too arrogant. "Huangpu Shiyi's face was gloomy.
"If it were someone else, they would definitely think that I'm arrogant. But I think that if it were you, you would definitely understand me. Because 30 years ago, at the Skyhill Sword Seminar, you also challenged the head of the Mo clan, just like I did today."
"At that time, the gap between you and the leader of the Mo family was even greater than the gap between you and me today, wasn't it?
"Besides …"
Li Yao smiled and said slowly, "I would like to know how terrifying my master is when he fully unleashes his strength."
Huangpu Shiyi's pupils suddenly widened. "You've finally agreed to be my disciple?"
Li Yao sneered. "If you can crush me completely and show me your unparalleled capability, of course, I'll be willing to be your disciple.
"However, if I luckily defeat you tomorrow, why don't you accept me as your master instead?"
Before I knew it … The fifth chapter was updated. Hahahaha.
However, Old Cow had to reiterate that the minimum update for this book was really two chapters a day. If Old Cow was too busy with work and too many things at home in the next few days and could only update twice a day, no one should say things like "Aiya, why are there only two updates recently? Didn't you update four or five times a day in the past? Old Cow has become lazy" or something like that.
If that was the case, Old Bull's convulsions these few days would really be a trap of his own making.
By the way, to answer a reader's question, a reader asked why Huangpu Shiyi knew about the 'alarm magical equipment' and why he was not scared to tell Li Yao. Li Yao showed no reaction after hearing the question. Is it a bug?
Simple. Because there are surveillance cameras in the training room.
