Astral Apostle
chapter-121

“You want to spar?” Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows.

“That’s right, there’s a venue in the Supers Bureau. Everyone, let’s wrestle!”

Xu Lingyun winked eagerly, his body raring to go.

It hadn’t been long since he had been genetically enhanced, and he had nowhere to vent his energy. His hands had always been itchy, and he only wanted to find someone to help him experience the thrill of having extraordinary power.

It just so happened that Zhou Jing’s body was also strengthened. The two of them were professionals in the same field as well.

Although Zhou Jing’s physical fitness was stronger, Xu Lingyun thought that since Zhou Jing had suddenly awakened, he would not be familiar with his own powers.

As for him, he had been training his control over his body these few days. He felt that he had more experience and might even be able to take advantage of his earlier strengthening to trump Zhou Jing.

During this process, everyone could still improve together and explore combat techniques. Xu Lingyun felt that Zhou Jing was the best sparring partner for him at the moment.

“Alright, let’s go move our bodies then.”

Zhou Jing had no objections.

He was not like Xu Lingyun, who was itching to fight after obtaining supernatural powers… After all, he was having a lot of fun in the Mutant World.

“Sure, I’ve never seen Jingjing fight before. I want to watch!”

Li Xiaoyin was in high spirits as she looked at Zhou Jing. She then turned to look at Xu Lingyun and snorted.

“Jingjing has just awakened. You can’t bully him.”

“…Why don’t you just tell me to get beaten up?” Xu Lingyun rolled his eyes.

The three of them laughed and joked all the way to the battle area.

This was a place for Supers to train their abilities or spar with each other. There were separate battle rooms lined in the corridor.

As soon as they arrived, the three of them accidentally bumped into Zhao He.

Zhao He had just walked out of a combat room. When he saw the three of them, he was slightly stunned. His gaze landed on Zhou Jing as if he was surprised.

“Hi, we meet again,” Zhou Jing greeted.

Although they did not chat much, they were still acquaintances.

Zhao He nodded casually, his attitude trivial.

He did not want to respond to Zhou Jing, but after taking a look at Li Zhiyin and Xu Lingyun, he took the initiative to ask.

“Who are these two?”

“Oh, they’re my friends.”

“Yes, hello.” Zhao He nodded.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyin elbowed Zhou Jing’s waist and mischievously jested,

“Yo, you’ve made a new friend so quickly.”

“He and I are in the same batch of new Awakeners who passed the test. We’ve chatted a couple of sentences.”

Zhou Jing’s lips twitched as he said that.

Perhaps it was really just “two sentences”…

Then, he spoke to Zhao He, “Have you been training here the whole time?”

“Promoting digestion after my meal.”

Zhao He replied casually before changing the topic.

“Your two friends are both Supers, right? Since we’ve met, let’s get to know each other. I’m Zhao He. I can release high-pressure water waves and my potential evaluation is A.”

“I understand! Your ability is to spray water!” Li Xiaoyin understood.

In her opinion, releasing water waves meant spitting water, controlling flames meant spitting fire and controlling lightning meant spitting electricity. It was simple and easy to understand.

Zhao He’s expression became a little contorted as he asked, “Then what ability do you have?”

Li Xiaoyin said generously, “Oh, my name is Li Xiaoyin. Currently, I also have an energy release superpower. I can release shock waves, and my potential evaluation is SS.”

SS?!!

Zhao He paused in shock before he suddenly smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand. “Nice to meet you.”

Li Xiaoyin’s thick skull did not allow her to notice Zhao He’s subtle change in attitude. She shook his hand casually.

Zhao He immediately turned to look at Xu Lingyun. “Then…”

“Oh, call me Xu Lingyun. I’m her assistant, strengthened by a genetic potion.” Xu Lingyun pointed at Li Xiaoyin.

“A pleasure.”

Zhao He nodded and turned back to look at Li Xiaoyin with a smile.

“You guys are here to exercise too? How about bringing me along?”

Li Xiaoyin did not reply. She turned to look at Zhou Jing and Li Xiaoyin.

“What do you two think?”

“Doesn’t matter.” Xu Lingyun shrugged.

“Anything.”

Zhou Jing had no objections. There was no need to hide a fight between two physical strengtheners.

If it were in the past, he would not be willing to have an outsider when he was playing with his friends, but now, he did not care much. Although he was not familiar with Zhao He, they were all newcomers, so there was nothing wrong with getting to know him.

The other party’s goal was probably the same. They had just become Supers and wanted to get to know some of their kind and expand their social circle.

As for Zhao He ignoring him, but warming up greatly towards Li Xiaoyin…. Zhou Jing didn’t mind.

It was nothing strange for people in society to measure the value of their relationships. He was not so petty that he could not tolerate the thoughts of others.

However, their relationship would probably stop at acquaintances.

Zhao He had originally finished practicing and planned to go back to rest. At this moment, he wanted to interact with the three of them more, so he disregarded his original plan and followed the three of them into the combat room.

Xu Lingyun jumped to the middle of the arena and waved at Zhou Jing. He chuckled and said, “Come quickly, let me show you lots of tender loving!”

… Look at the way you’re courting death.

Zhou Jing rolled his eyes.

He also walked to the middle of the arena and stood opposite Xu Lingyun. He looked around and said, “Do you want to choose a weapon? Like a blade to fight or something.”

Xu Lingyun was stunned. “Brother, are you that ruthless? It’s just a spar. Are you planning to slaughter me?”

“That’s true. Let’s go with our fists then.”

Zhou Jing stretched his arms. Although he had not chosen to inherit Jason’s saber technique, he still preferred to hold a saber.

“Then I’m coming!”

Xu Lingyun suddenly jumped out and made a grab towards Zhou Jing’s shoulders.

Zhou Jing took a step forward before nimbly sidestepping.

Swoosh!

Xu Lingyun took six to seven steps before he barely managed to stop himself. He turned around and pounced again, this time including a side kick.

It was heavy and fast. This kick was enough to break a person into two… but this was from the perspective of an ordinary person.
