Chapter 18: Body Evolution, Super Right Leg (Three)

  The First Watch

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Shangguan Bing'er let out a cold snort, looked at him, then looked at Xiao Ruse and after her embarrassment subsided for a moment, she suddenly became suspicious. "You guys?" She also knew that Zhou Weiqing wasn't doing it on purpose, so she couldn't blame him either.

  Xiao Ruxue gazed up at the sky, putting on an air of nonchalance. Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "I just had a spar with Captain Xiao, and then I discovered that she was actually my childhood playmate! Isn't it strange that as soon as we reunited, something happened to me?"

  "But I thought I just heard you call her sister!"

  Zhou Weiqing glanced at Xiao Ruse and saw the warning look in her eyes, immediately understanding. He explained, "Captain, don't you think Captain Xiao looks like a pretty girl? She looked even more so when she was younger, so our fellow comrades used to call her 'sister'. It's just a nickname."

  Shangguan Bing'er's breathing gradually calmed down, and she said in a low voice: "What just happened? Why did you go crazy again?"

  "I don't know either! I just felt a chill in my body, and then I was in severe pain all over. After that, I'm not too clear about what happened."

  Shangguan Bing'er thought for a moment, and suddenly her face changed greatly, exclaiming: "Could it be the Evil Demon Transformation?"

  Zhou Weiqing and Xiao Ruse's faces both showed a look of surprise, almost in unison asking: "What is the Evil Demon Transformation?"

  Shangguan Bing'er said, "Zhou Xiaopang, do you still remember? I once told you about the Tianzhu masters who, like you, had evil auras appearing on their bodies when they awakened, leading to mental breakdowns and eventually becoming extremely powerful but mentally unstable evil Tianzhu masters?"

  Zhou Weiqing nodded and said: "I remember! You're talking about those who killed their loved ones after their Fate's Pearl awakened. They just don't have as much self-control as I do."

  Shangguan Bing'er's face turned red, but she couldn't refute his words. Indeed, if not for Zhou Weiqing's strong self-control, she would have died long ago and become the true sacrifice for awakening his Life Seed.

  "I heard that among these Heaven's Chosen with evil attributes attached to themselves, there are some particularly powerful ones. When their spirit is stimulated or their body reaches its limit, a special state will appear, called the Evil Demon Transformation. A Heaven's Chosen in this state will experience a rapid increase in power for a short period of time, but their mind will no longer be clear, becoming a true killing machine. Because of the danger they pose, the various countries on the continent once organized to collectively eliminate these Heaven's Chosen, killing most of them, but suffering heavy losses themselves. Since then, there has been no news of any Heaven's Chosen with Evil Demon Transformation."

  Xiao Ruse's face changed greatly, "Shao... Shao Pang, I'll send you home." She was so nervous that she almost called out Zhou Weiqing's real name.

  Wu Cheng naturally understood her meaning, she wanted her father Wu Da to help her check, and hurriedly shook his head repeatedly. "No, no, I won't go back. Camp leader, you're overthinking, I wasn't possessed by the evil spirit just now. Otherwise, wouldn't I have killed all of you? I felt it for a moment, after waking up, my body seems to have made some progress again, full of strength everywhere, should be the effect of that black pearl I swallowed, maybe it's because the magic power produced by the black pearl itself is too strong and I haven't fully absorbed it yet."

  Shangguan Bing'er listened to his explanation and slightly relaxed, but still said in a low voice: "Xiao Pang, from now on you must always follow me, just in case something happens, I can help you control it. I really don't know when that black pearl of yours will calm down."

  As soon as Shangguan Bing'er called out his name, Zhou Weiqing's heart was filled with great joy. He immediately picked up the cue and said: "Bing'er, don't worry, I won't leave you."

  Shangguan Bing'er only then realized her speech impediment, her pretty face flushing red. "Return to the military camp. Your position as squad leader has been secured for you, but you'll still continue serving as my personal guard. Go pack your bags, tomorrow at dawn, we'll be rushing to the front lines."

  "Yes, Ice." Zhou Weiqing heard that she didn't refute his way of addressing her, and it was even in front of Xiao Ruse, he felt a thrill in his heart. At least compared to before, this counted as their relationship taking a step closer, right?

  Xiao Ruse didn't say anything else, but through her observations, she found that Zhou Weiqing seemed to have an obvious relief after hugging Shangguan Xue'er when he was in that special state earlier. Being with her appeared to be the best choice for him.

  As night fell, the military camp outside Tian Gong City was exceptionally busy. The fifth coalition's various camps, whether new recruits or old soldiers, were all packing their gear after dinner. They would dismantle their tents early tomorrow morning and rush to the front lines. Only through the baptism of a real battlefield could new recruits become old soldiers, and that would be their only stage for the foreseeable future.

  Zhou Weiqing was one of the few idle people, while Dugu Bo was exceptionally busy tonight because he was in charge of this recruitment. After dinner, Zhou Weiqing strolled around the military camp, feeling the changes in his body.

  After dinner, his body's Heavenly Power had basically recovered, and the advantage of the Undying Heaven Technique's quick recovery was fully displayed. However, the total amount of Heavenly Power only increased slightly, and did not suddenly quadruple like when the Life Pearl awakened. The biggest change in his body was probably his strength. After returning, Zhou Weiqing tried pulling the Purple Star Bow before giving it back to Shangguan Xue'er, and without using much force, he almost broke the bow. This was purely physical power!

  At the same time, Zhou Weiqing also felt that his right leg was always a bit strange. When he swung his right leg, he discovered some differences in it.

  His right leg lifted forward, almost instantly exceeding the top of his head. The most incredible thing was that when he lifted it backwards, it also exceeded the top of his head. That flexibility was so strong that it was probably more powerful than even a Tian Zhu master who had specially increased their flexibility. However, if he were to switch to his left leg, there would be no such effect. Moreover, Zhou Weiqing discovered that his right leg's strength and speed had increased by an unknown amount compared to before, and had produced a fundamental difference with the other parts of his body.

  Unfortunately, at least for now, the change in his right leg has brought Zhou Weiqing not benefits but strong side effects. When walking normally, it's fine, but once he starts running, his right leg is too powerful and with just a slight push off the ground, he shoots out, losing balance instantly. It'll probably take some time to get used to it.

  Looking at the busy soldiers around him, Zhou Weiqing stood still, his left leg supporting the ground and his right leg lifted to make a few quick movements. His right leg rapidly created several afterimages in the air, accompanied by a faint whistling sound. Moreover, his entire right leg seemed boneless, able to kick out from any angle.
