Pure light, as dull and mysterious as pure darkness - in this pure light, two black figures are fighting each other:

"Hurry up! Faster! Faster! "Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Jun Tian was punched out by Shi Fang again and fell heavily, enduring the convulsive pain in his stomach, he gritted his teeth and struggled to get up.

Shi Fang, whose eyes were slightly closed, walked to Jun Tian with his hands behind his back: "You have lost again - why?" ”

Jun Tian wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and gasped hard: "Because...... The teacher is stronger than me. ”

"Is it stronger...... Shi Fang smiled, "is it stronger?" More agile? Or—" Shi Fang's closed eyes "stared" at Jun Tian's eyes, "can you see more clearly than you?" ”

Jun Tian was stunned, he subconsciously thought that Shi Fang was stronger than him, but in fact, Shi Fang, whose body function was in decline, was inferior to him in terms of strength and speed, and as for the fighting skills, Shi Fang's eyes couldn't see at all!

Seeing that Jun Tian was lost in thought, Shi Fang nodded slightly.

"In the virtual world, what do you rely on to defeat your enemies? Your fist? Your feet? Or knees and elbows? Accompanied by the sound of Shi Fang, a huge screen appeared in the white world, and a humanoid shadow on the screen was performing grappling movements with various parts of the body—hands, feet, knees, elbows.

Jun Tian thought hard, and then fell silent in confusion.

"If that's not enough, you can use something you find useful—" As he spoke, Shi Fang waved his hand, and a long row of weapon racks appeared on the right side of his body, which were filled with all kinds of cold weapons—swords, guns, halberds, Western swords, swords, sabers, katanas, shurikens, and all kinds of cold weapons that Jun Tian had never seen before.

Jun Tian's dazed brain pondered which weapon to take, and with a flick of Shi Fang's left hand again, a row of weapon racks full of firearms appeared on the other side of his body—pistols, submachine guns, automatic rifles, bazookas, and all kinds of individual hot weapons that Jun Tian couldn't name.

"Take one," Shi Fang smiled at Jun Tian, "or a few—if you find it helpful." ”

Jun Tian picked up a baton from the weapon rack - he was still confused, but he wasn't going to say anything more at the moment.

"You chose the least lethal-looking weapon," Shi Fang still smiled calmly, "because you're worried about hurting me, an old fellow." ”

"No matter what weapon I choose, I can't hurt the teacher, can I?"

"Do you really think so?"

Jun Tian remembered the scene of being tortured and killed by Lilith in the virtual reality of the "Ranger", and nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" ”

"But you chose it anyway." The invisible Shi Fang pointed to the baton in Jun Tian's hand, "Perhaps, you are not as sure as you think." ”

Jun Tian did not immediately refute Shi Fang's words, but lowered his head silently, as if thinking.

"Fate has made you aware of it," Shi Fang waved his hand, and the dazzling array of weapon racks disappeared from the two of them in an instant, "But you still need time to understand slowly-" Shi Fang tucked his left hand behind his back, and stretched out his right palm upwards to make a martial arts start, pulling Jun Tian's divergent thoughts back: "Let's start!" ”

"Please teach me!"

After the jerky fist salute, Jun Tian raised his baton and struck Shi Fang's arm with an even more jerky movement, and then unsurprisingly was easily dodged by Shi Fang, and then, repeating over and over again......

"Too slow...... Too slow...... It's too slow! ”

In the face of Jun Tian's waving batons, Shi Fang dodged easily again and again, strolling leisurely as if teasing a crazy child. As time passed, Juntian's movements became more and more undisciplined, and his mentality became more and more manic.

"Damn it!"

Until a certain moment, Jun Tian roared angrily and released all his strength, raised his baton and smashed it at Shi Fang-

There was no movement of broken tendons or gold and stones, and a touch of light appeared on the tip of the baton, and the manic atmosphere quieted down for a moment, returning to its original monotony.

Everything seemed so abrupt and unpredictable, as if a restless picture had been frozen in this moment.

"None of this seems to be of much use." The frozen picture came to life, and Shi Fang said indifferently.

"Didn't you already know! And let me show my teeth and claws to you like a fool! Jun Tian was annoyed.

Instead of being angry at the student's rudeness, he still smiled kindly: "Because I didn't have the right way for you to experience it—that was difficult—failure was an easier way to achieve in comparison." ”

Jun Tian tried to suppress his anger: "Congratulations, you succeeded!" ”

"No," Shi Fang smiled pleasantly, "just the beginning of success!" ”

As he spoke, the still points of light on Shi Fang's fingertips began to extend upwards along the batons, and where the points of light eroded, the black batons disappeared completely like a sketch wiped by an eraser.

"What ...... this!"

The point of light continued to erode upwards, wiping out the entire baton and finally spreading to Jun Tian's fingertips. Seeing the light point eroding over, the fear of the unknown made Jun Tian inevitably a little flustered, and he subconsciously shook his arm to get rid of the light spot.

"Don't be nervous," Shi Fang said indifferently, "it can't hurt you." ”

Shi Fang's voice carried a convincing force, and the flustered Jun Tian calmed down slightly, but it could be seen from his wide-open pupils that he was not completely free from this fear of the unknown.

"What the hell is this?"

"Light."

Shi Fang's answer was very simple, but such a simple answer obviously could not make Jun Tian feel relieved, and when the two of them spoke, the light had already erased Jun Tian's entire arm and spread to his neck.

The right arm that gradually disappeared from sight made Jun Tian unable to remain calm anymore: "This is not light...... What the hell is this! With a frightened cry, the light quickly spread to every part of Jun Tian's body, erasing his figure in this monotonous world.

In a pure world, only Shi Fang was left.

"I ...... He's dead? A trembling voice wafted through the empty world.

Shi Fang smiled: "Dead people don't ask such questions. ”

It was a feeling that could not be described in words, he could not touch, he could not see, he could not even feel his body, but he could hear, think, and even fear.

"You've never been here, so why should you die here?"

The monotonous world was quiet for a moment.

"It's ...... Virtual world! The trembling voice seemed to relax a little, and then there was some fear: "But this feeling ......"

"It's real—" said Shifang, "the feeling of death." ”

"But these are fakes after all!" The trembling voice gradually returned.

"False...... Shi Fang took a step forward, Jun Tian's disappearing body instantly appeared, and then in the latter's surprised and stunned gaze, Shi Fang pointed into a knife and inserted it into Jun Tian's abdominal cavity! The pain of having your muscles slit, the weakness of blood loss, and worst of all, the puncture of your lungs makes it harder and harder for you to breathe......"

Jun Tian's body twitched slightly, and he watched in disbelief as the blood gushing out of his abdominal cavity dripped down Shi Fang's palm and fell to his feet.

"That's right, it's all just a signal from a computer program to your brain, everything is fake......" Shi Fang let the crumbling Jun Tian lean on himself, "But, can you convince yourself?" ”

Jun Tian, whose lungs were pierced, had no way to answer Shi Fang's question.

Convince yourself that it's all fake? He couldn't—as if the pain and weakness that had penetrated deep into his soul prevented him from even concentrating! He felt like he was about to die, maybe the next moment......

"My lord, he can't do it."

An unfamiliar voice rang out, filling every corner of the entire space.

Shi Fang did not react, while Jun Tian could not react.

"Your Excellency!" The unfamiliar voice urged again.

"You should have more faith in him."

Shi Fang said lightly, letting go of the dying Juntian. The body that lost its support fell softly and slipped down, turning into countless points of light before it could hit the ground, and quickly dissipated.
