That day's absorption of Origin Substance went very smoothly. Li Xiang, who had mastered the technique, activated the yellow innards as quickly as he could. However, his progress was much slower than he had expected. The innards were too weak and couldn't be used as freely as the limbs.
He did some calculations and found that he would be able to activate this innards in at most the day after tomorrow. That way, he had successfully activated two innards in five days, which was half of his goal of one month. He probably wouldn't need to use the liquefied Origin Substance that he had stored up.
When he walked out of the Origin Substance decomposition room, he unexpectedly bumped into Ming Xu, who was still half-naked. The young girl had actually completed double the amount of training and had come here. She was also in second place and was currently waiting for him to come out.
Originally, the time limit for absorbing Origin Substance was only ten minutes. As the number of times he absorbed Origin Substance increased, this time limit was no longer limited. After ten minutes, the next class could come and wait, and the instructors no longer had to accompany him.
When he saw Ming Xu, Li Xiang thought that he had been inside for a long time, but the setting sun outside hadn't changed much. It was obvious that she had completed the training ahead of time.
Her slightly protruding chest heaved violently as she calmly stared at Li Xiang. Suddenly, she said, "Something happened to your friend."
Her voice was very soft. After saying this, she walked around him and entered the Origin Substance decomposition room.
Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. He instinctively ran over to the Origin Substance decomposition room, which was in third place.
A group of trainees was standing outside the room. The blonde girl at the front had her arms crossed as she muttered, "He hasn't come out after so long. He couldn't have died in there, right?"
Li Xiang frowned and pushed through the crowd. When they saw that it was Li Xiang, they all opened up a path for him. He walked in front of the blonde girl and recognized her as the young miss of the Yakumo family, Ai Yakumo, who was in third place in the second class.
"What's the situation inside?" Li Xiang walked forward and asked. Logically speaking, it should be Ai Yakumo's turn to use the Origin Substance. Wasn't Chen Fan taking too long?
Recalling what Ming Xu had said to him, he looked in the direction of the house again.
"Hey, what obligation do I have to answer you?" Ai Yakumo assumed the posture of a young lady and looked up at him.
Li Xiang frowned again. He didn't like dealing with people with bad temper. This woman's personality was quite bad. He didn't know how she managed to survive in the extreme night.
At this moment, a red-haired youth walked out from behind Ai Yakumo. He stepped forward with a smile and stood between Li Xiang and Ai Yakumo.
"Chen Fan has already exceeded the time limit inside. I heard that someone put in five standard tubes of Origin Substance." Atsushi Amakusa whispered. He pulled Ai Yakumo's hand and took a few steps back, putting some distance between him and Li Xiang.
"Put in five standard tubes?" Li Xiang glanced at the Origin Substance decomposing machine. He could see that there were indeed five standard tubes inside. There were a total of ten standard tubes, which was quite shocking.
This was obviously trying to take Chen Fan's life!
Five standard tubes was the limit of what they could handle. Li Xiang had been able to absorb a bit more on the first day because he had stored a very mild liquid Origin Substance. Origin Substance was incredibly violent. If he used ten standard tubes at once, his body would definitely explode!
"Who did this?" Li Xiang asked coldly. The surrounding trainees were all gathered here, but no one dared to answer him. "Why didn't you call for an instructor?"
"It should be the Kuang Tie. He came out especially early today, so it's very likely that he secretly stuffed his share into Chen Fan's hands. Right now, they're guarding the entrance to the restricted area, not letting anyone out. They're only letting people in. Of course, this is just my conjecture, "Atsushi Amakusa said calmly. He took the opportunity to observe Li Xiang's expression.
Li Xiang's expression gradually darkened. Even Ai Yakumo could clearly sense his anger. She quietly took a few steps back.
"We need to stop this Origin Substance decomposing machine first, then break in." Li Xiang took a few steps forward and took a deep breath. He could choose not to save Chen Fan because he himself wasn't confident that he could stop this machine. However, when he thought of that lonely cigarette in the dark of his past life, as well as that low murmur …
Let's give it a try.
Just as Li Xiang walked in front of the rumbling Origin Substance decomposing machine, an unfamiliar yet sweet voice suddenly spoke from behind him.
"If you directly stop the Origin Substance decomposing machine, the steam inside will instantly be cut off, and the metal pipes will close, blocking the inside of the room. The air pressure will press against the metal door. At that time, even the instructors won't be able to break in, much less us."
Ji Yanqing walked up to Li Xiang's side. Her long brown hair was tied up in a single ponytail that reached her hips. At 1.7 meters tall, she was half a head taller than Li Xiang. She stood behind Li Xiang with a serious expression.
"If you want to save the person inside, the only way is for someone to break open the metal door the moment you stop the machine. Of course, you can also choose to break open the door first. Large amounts of steam will pour out. The best outcome is that you'll be able to save him with your life, or you can call the instructors right now. "
Ji Yanqing calmly analyzed the situation. If it weren't for the fact that it was Kuang Tie and the others who had done it, most people would probably think that she was the one who had done it.
Ji Yanqing, however, didn't seem to mind being misunderstood at all. This was an extremely powerful self-confidence. She didn't care about the hostility of anyone present, which was why she was able to appear so calm.
"Help me, and I'll owe you a favor," Li Xiang paused for a moment, then leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice.
Ji Yanqing paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"Have they gone crazy, Little Lie?" Ai Yakumo and the other trainees were planning to leave the room as quickly as possible. These two people were definitely crazy. If they didn't do it well, the three of them might die. For the sake of a trainee who was going to become their enemy in the future, was there something wrong with their brains?
Atsushi Amakusa didn't say anything. All he did was protect her as they retreated to a safe area. His gaze never relaxed on Li Xiang.
"Miss, he's very dangerous and very powerful," Atsushi Amakusa replied in a low voice after a while.
"You actually think that they can succeed?" Ai Yakumo covered her mouth with her hand, an expression of disbelief on her face. "I think you're crazy too, right?"
On the other side, Li Xiang gently pressed his hand against the outside of the machine. A scorching sensation surged into his palm, and very quickly, his skin was dyed red. This was a sign that he had been burned by the high temperature.
Even with his Machinery Proficiency, doing something like this was still very crazy. Li Xiang emptied his mind and tried to control the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine. The scorching pain continuously stimulated his nerves. After a few seconds, white spinning gears slowly appeared in front of his eyes.
The machine's rampage seemed to have stopped for a moment. Ji Yanqing, who had been calmly observing from the side, suddenly took a step forward and walked in front of the metal door. She pulled up her sleeves, revealing a slender arm that was wrapped in black bandages instead of white and tender skin.
Bang!
Ji Yanqing struck a pose that resembled the beginning of a combat technique, but it was different from the battlefield combat techniques they learned during their daily training.
This stance was very ancient. Anyone who knew the ropes would know that this was the legendary ancient martial arts that had been popular in District 1 when the Blue Planet was still intact!
A white breath slowly exhaled from her cherry lips. Her slightly heaving chest suddenly sank and then rose. The other trainees felt as if the air had frozen for a moment. Then, under Li Xiang's loud shout, the rioting Origin Substance Decomposing Machine rumbled, and then stopped moving restlessly!
"Break!" Ji Yanqing took another step forward with her right foot. Her hands swung out fiercely, and the back of her palms and her entire forearm slammed heavily into the metal door. The moment they made contact, a sizzling sound could be heard. Then, the entire metal door exploded under the tremendous force!
The steam that rose into the air blew Ji Yanqing a few meters away from the door. She somersaulted in the air, spinning a few times before landing on one knee.
"Oh no." She looked at Li Xiang. The latter's arms were hanging by his side, and his skin was dark red from the heat. He also looked nervously at the steam that had rushed out of the room.
Someone had to go in and bring Chen Fan out immediately!
Just as they paused, a petite figure slid past Ji Yanqing and rushed into the room!
