BXBX NOVEL Chapter 952 - Dead?
However, based on the current situation, Liu Furong couldn’t remain at the optimal peak of Qi-Jin anymore. He needed to advance to the domain stage within the shortest possible time. That was the only way he could win against his opponents.
An overwhelming force of presence engulfed Liu Furong in his entirety. He was unable to breathe properly anymore. Liu Furong realized that compared to the force of presence he was experiencing now, the force of presence his regiment commander released during training was nothing. Once his regiment commander decided to be serious, Liu Furong felt as though there was a mountain pushing his body down. The fresh blood in his body felt as though they would seep out of his pores in the next moment.
After enduring for a few seconds, he was unable to handle the force of presence and vomited a mouthful of blood. He had tried to use all his Qi-Jin to resist the pressure but that didn’t last long.
“So quickly?” Ling Lan’s cold voice sounded beside him. “Not enough!”
A force of presence that was even greater than before pushed Liu Furong down. Liu Furong felt that his legs were unable to withstand the force anymore, The moment he kneeled down, the fighting spirit in his heart exploded.
“Ah!” Liu Furong shouted as he raised his head in pain. His shivering legs turned firm again as he stood up.
“Not bad!” Ling Lan was satisfied. This was the fighting spirit someone from the Seven Stars of the North should have. However, she didn’t loosen her grip on him. She continued giving Liu Furong even more pressure.
The result of bearing with a pressure above the limit of your body was a heavy injury. Liu Furong started vomiting blood again. Blood flowed out from every orifice. After some time, his entire body was drenched with blood.
Now, Liu Furong had entered a life-or-death moment. If he couldn’t break through now, he would collapse under the force of presence and die from the loss of blood. Only a breakthrough would save him.
‘Should I do this?’ A tinge of hesitation flashed passed Ling Lan’s eyes. However, she became firm again. She knew that if Liu Furong couldn’t advance to the domain stage, he wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of death unless he stayed beside her all the time. But, based on Liu Furong’s personality, he would not live as a coward. He would rather die spectacularly than to live under her wing like a baby bird.
‘Since he will die anyway, why not take a gamble. One side is heaven while the other is hell. It all depends on what he chooses.’
Ling Lan’s gaze turned cold. The pressure around Liu Furong increased again. Although Ling Lan was not a cold blooded and merciless person like what she portrayed to be, she was still a decisive person. Once she made a decision, she would do it heartlessly. Just like now, she knew that Liu Furong would die if she exerted more pressure but she still did it.
Liu Furong felt that he was about to die. He could see the blood spurting out of his body... his regiment commander retracted his force of presence. Without the huge pressure, his body, which was still bleeding, collapsed on the floor.
He looked at his regiment commander’s eyes. There was disappointment in it. He was disappointed that he didn’t achieve a breakthrough and choose to die instead.
If he had a choice, he didn’t want to die. However, he really didn’t know what his domain was. He couldn’t find it. He had no hopes of succeeding.
Liu Furong knew that he had failed. However, he was not angry, He just felt pity that he wasn’t able to find the person who caused the annihilation of the Magic Ace Mecha Clan. He wasn’t able to wash the crimes and humiliation of his past mecha clan. He couldn’t allow his dead comrades get the honor they should have gained.
Suddenly, he heard the chanting from the sky. He looked up and saw a golden light piercing in the sky above him. He saw many familiar faces in the golden light. His regiment commander, Wang Junan, the other team leaders, and the members of his team were looking down on him and smiling.
“Regiment commander, brothers-in-arms, members, are you all here to fetch me?” That year, when his brother-in-arms died one by one before him, he forced his tears back. Now, his tears flowed down his face freely. “I miss you all.”
Liu Furong tried his best to fly up so that he could get nearer to them. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to reach them.
Wang Junan shook his head when he saw Liu Furong doing futile work. “Furong, this is not where you should be.”
“Why? Aren’t I dead?” Liu Furong asked agitatedly. He couldn’t stay with his brother-in-arms even when he was dead?
“No, you still have unfinished business to do. Just like what you thought, you still haven’t found our enemy and cleared the name of our mecha clan yet. You haven’t helped us regain our honor yet. How could you die so quickly when you haven’t achieved any of these?” Wang Junan smiled. “Furong, live for our sake.”
“But I failed. I died too.” Liu Furong lost control of his emotions as he shouted. “Why do you all have to force me? Why must you throw everything to me and let me fight alone? I’m tired.” This blood debt followed him for 15 years. He also had to hide the item that was powerful enough to shake the Federation. Liu Furong felt that he had enough of this life.
“Furong, I passed the mission to you at that time because you were the calmest among us and you had the best patience. Everyone trusted you.” Wang Junan smiled. “You are never alone. We have always been beside you. You just have never realized it.”
“Now, we are able to communicate with you with the help of your new regiment commander. Furong, feel the strength everyone is giving you. This is your strength too.” Wang Junan reached out his hand. In the golden light, everyone from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan reached out their hands.
A glaring golden light shone down from the sky, enveloping Liu Furong in a golden sheen. Liu Furong could feel warmth everywhere. A vital spirit seemed to be rushing into his body and his transparent body started turning opaque.
“Furong, look at your heart.” Wang Junan’s voice sounded beside Liu Furong. He lowered his head and looked at the position where his heart was supposed to be. He saw an object that looked like an egg or a walnut.
