In the vast wilderness, two figures were sprinting forward at an extremely fast speed, resembling speeding vehicles. Even against the wind, their speed didn’t diminish in the slightest. On the contrary, it seemed to be increasing.
Fang Li and Alisa raced through the wind, their gazes fixed on the front. Within their field of vision, the colossal figure that was as tall as a skyscraper had long disappeared. However, faint cries could be heard in the air from time to time, telling Fang Li and Alisa that their target had not changed direction.
Unfortunately, even so, reaching their destination was still not an easy task for Fang Li and Alisa.
Although they had a clear direction now, the wilderness stretched endlessly. If it were so easy to get out, Fang Li and Alisa wouldn’t have treated their situation as a survival crisis before.
In this situation, Fang Li glanced at Alisa, who was closely following him. He didn’t say anything on the surface, but in his heart, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“Did she already recover enough to move like this?”
How long has it been since then?
The regenerative power of a God Eater is truly extraordinary.
Of course, Fang Li didn’t know that while he was sighing, Alisa was also observing him, and was secretly shocked.
Alisa was not satisfied with losing to Fang Li before.
However, regardless of her dissatisfaction, Fang Li’s performance still puzzled Alisa.
“He’s not a God Eater, so why can he unleash this level of physical ability?”
If previously Fang Li could suppress Alisa, it could be explained by exceptional skills. But now, Alisa knew that Fang Li’s reliance was not extraordinary skills.
The fact that she could barely keep up with Fang Li’s speed despite her best efforts whereas he looked to be at ease told Alisa that Fang Li’s physical abilities were definitely not weaker than her own.
At least in terms of speed, it seemed that Alisa was far from reaching Fang Li’s level. The evidence was that Fang Li had been maintaining a consistently high frequency speed, indicating that he still had room to spare.
An ordinary person possessing such speed was enough to astonish anyone. And upon careful consideration, Fang Li’s performance had been consistently extraordinary.
“Moving freely among a large group of Aragami.”
“Kicking an Aragami away with a single blow.”
“Moreover, when he held me captive, he easily sliced through the walls of the simulated training ground.”
“What kind of person is he, exactly?”
As Alisa pondered these questions, she couldn’t help but feel some envy towards Fang Li’s extraordinary abilities.
One must know that it was to escape her own weakness that Alisa had chosen to become a God Eater. However, now Fang Li’s existence was telling her that even without becoming a God Eater, it was still possible to break free from weakness and become powerful.
It was as if her own approach had been completely invalidated.
“Indeed, I can’t accept this person.” As she thought this, Alisa realized that her antagonism towards Fang Li was purely one-sided.
Recognizing this, while feeling a hint of self-disgust, Alisa’s grip on her God Arc tightened.
At that moment, Fang Li suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“————?!”
Alisa was immediately startled and also came to a halt, turning her head to look at Fang Li.
However, Fang Li didn’t look at Alisa. Instead, he raised his gaze and stared ahead. Alisa followed Fang Li’s gaze and her eyes slightly narrowed.
Because, ahead of them, a group of small Aragami were trailing behind a slightly larger Aragami, moving slowly across the wilderness like a pack of wolves following their leader.
Coincidentally, they happened to block the path that Fang Li and Alisa must pass through.
In this situation, Fang Li suddenly spoke up.
“Are you still able to fight?”
Only then did Alisa react, placing a hand on her chest. The intense pain in her body had subsided to a large extent, but there was still a lingering sense of discomfort in her body.
Her wrist felt somewhat paralyzed and weak. Her physical condition was far from ideal, and if she were to engage in combat, her strength would undoubtedly be greatly diminished.
However, Alisa couldn’t utter a word of refusal. Therefore, she only looked at Fang Li and said, “Who do you think I am?”
Hearing these words, Fang Li couldn’t help but smile.
“I was actually going to ask, who do you think you are?” Fang Li looked at Alisa indifferently and said, “Don’t forget, even if you weren’t injured, you’re still just a rookie who recently joined the Russian Branch.”
Alisa’s eyes trembled when she heard these words and her gaze toward Fang Li became sharp.
If previously Alisa had only unilaterally regarded Fang Li as an enemy, then Fang Li’s current words gave her a reason to consider him a true enemy. At that moment, Alisa stared intensely at Fang Li and spoke with a cold voice, “Are you looking down on me?”
“It’s not that I am looking down on you, but you think too highly of yourself,” Fang Li disregarded the hostility in Alisa’s eyes and continued, “Although you’re an extremely rare New-Type God Eater, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re still an immature rookie who just joined the Russian Branch. Even if your combat strength is not weak, you’re still immature. That’s who you are right now.”
“And you actually ignore your weaknesses, thinking that you don’t need to rely on anyone. You’re confident, arrogant, and cold-hearted,” Fang Li said indifferently, “There are too many unsettling aspects about you, and I don’t want to end up dying with you because you overestimated your own abilities.”
Alisa’s eyes began to show a surge of emotions as she heard these words.
However, everything Fang Li said were his true thoughts. Being familiar with the original work, Fang Li knew that Alisa also had her own story. However, that didn’t mean Alisa was without any faults.
In the time that had passed since the start of the plot, in about a year, Alisa had indeed developed too many flaws in her personality. This young girl was simply too reclusive, to the point of being considered eccentric.
Although that was also a type of personality, how could someone like that be entrusted with guarding one’s back on the battlefield?
“A person can be weak, but they must not ignore their own weaknesses.” Facing Alisa’s gaze, Fang Li looked directly at the young girl before him as he spoke. “Have you confronted your own weaknesses?”
Alisa’s heart skipped a beat, followed by a momentary lapse in her composure.
Without paying attention to Alisa’s reaction, Fang Li withdrew his gaze and looked toward the Aragami forces up ahead.
“If you don’t even want to acknowledge your weaknesses, then don’t fight alongside me. You’ll only hold me back.”
After saying that, Fang Li dashed forward.
