Confirmation and assurance.
Yelai's affirmative response finally eased Zhang Yinlin's anxious heart. She didn't inquire how Yelai managed to become a Sequence without paying a heavy price. Since Yelai didn’t mention it, it seemed he didn’t want to discuss it, possibly due to some unspeakable reasons, so she decided not to pry.
She simply chose not to ask further. She believed in what Yelai said. It was an undeniable fact that a discarded key was difficult to become a Sequence, and now Yelai had broken the previous ironclad rule with his words, which made her cautious in confirming the truth.
"If you really are as you say, then fight me."
"As long as you can hold out for a minute against me, and the cost doesn’t threaten your life afterward, I will believe what you say."
She remembered clearly that Yelai claimed he not only became a Sequence without paying a severe price but could also handle Zhong Zhi.
Who is Zhong Zhi?
He was a Rank Four Sequence. To be able to deal with Zhong Zhi, one would need to be at least Rank Three, right?
So Yelai not only became a Sequence but also reached Rank Three?
Is that even possible?
"No problem." Yelai replied without hesitation after Zhang Yinlin proposed the challenge.
Zhang Yinlin was taken aback by Yelai's straightforward response. However, Yelai seemed unconcerned, stretching his limbs and eager to begin.
"Shall I go first, or will you take the lead, Yinlin?"
Since his resurrection three years ago, he had faced many Anomalous Entities but this was his first time engaging with a Sequence. He was curious about how it felt to battle a Sequence compared to an Anomalous Entity.
Zhang Yinlin couldn't help but smile wryly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You go ahead."
As she spoke, her elongated shadow under the basement lights resembled a ghost crawling out from the grave, with a pale gray hand reaching out from the darkness.
It resembled a dead infant that had been lifeless for days, its eyes nothing but white, devoid of pupils. Beneath the corpse-like skin, blue veins writhed visibly, reminiscent of the ghost stories passed down through folklore about the Ghost Infant. This was the power that Zhang Yinlin had gained after establishing a connection with the Anomalous Entity known as the Ghost Infant. She could summon the Ghost Infant to do her bidding.
At this moment, the Ghost Infant crawled around Zhang Yinlin like a peculiar creature, its limbs on the ground, protecting her. Was this what it meant to reach Rank Four with the Ghost Infant?
Yelai grinned, showing no signs of fear, leaning forward as if preparing to sprint. "I'm going to make my move now, Sister Yinlin."
The moment those words fell, and with Zhang Yinlin nodding in response, it was as if a drop of water had fallen onto a calm lake, instantly disturbing its surface and creating ripples. Zhang Yinlin's pupils constricted, and waves of unease surged within her.
So fast!
Yelai shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. The speed was astonishing. This was beyond what any human could achieve.
In that instant, Zhang Yinlin realized the truth—Yelai had not lied; he had truly become a Sequence, someone who could surpass the limits of humanity.
Yelai stood far away from Zhang Yinlin, each at opposite ends of the basement space. Yet in the blink of an eye, propelled by his extraordinary speed, Yelai closed the distance between them.
Now they were less than half a meter apart.
Zhang Yinlin could clearly see Yelai's face twisted into an eerie smile as he reached out his hand towards her. "Yinlin, you’re in trouble now."
