47 Goodbyes
"Am I lucky?" Bian who hadn't gotten a single beast soul for the duration of his stay in the second god sanctuary was anything but lucky.
Suddenly his heart skip a bit.
"Could it be the emperical will, that made me win." He said to Han Yan in excitement.
"Observation is a check. Let's run some further analysis." She brought up her commlink and surfed the skynet for lotteries.
Two more lotteries would be concluded within an hour, Han Yan and Bian bought the lottery tickets, his super body still active.
They went to the park and eagerly waited for the conclusion. Two beeps later, Bian showed Han Yan his commlink, he won both lotteries.
"You're a lottery winning machine!" Han Yan was genuinely happy for Bian.
"Come on, let's register for every lottery in existence." Han Yan eagerly said.
"Why? I have the echo geckos, remember."
"Yeah, but we could get millions if not billions from this" she said excitedly.
Bian "..."
Bian didn't say anything. He showed her his bank account.
15 trillion dollars.
Han Yan "..."
"Well, maybe it works for things other than lotteries." Han Yan said.
"Yeah, maybe it-" Bian stood up straight. His heart skipped a beat.
"Maybe it even works for beast souls!" Bian checked his memories. He was yet to kill a creature with emperical will active.
"You're a genius," Bian picked up Han Yan and gave her a passionate kiss. He was interrupted by a phone call from professor Bai.
"Congratulations on gaining the title of sacred-blood aristocrat." Bai Yishan said.
"Thank you. About the three months after graduation."
"Don't worry, we won't delay your deployment. The three months have been cancelled."
Bai Yishan ignored Bian's sad facade and carried on. "You will be deployed to a station called daphne. Don't worry, you'll only be going as a crystallizer linguistic expert."
"Yeah, can I recommend someone to follow along" Bian said hopefully.
"No, bye" Bai Yishan hung up before Bian could try to persuade him.
"Damn! How did he find out about it" Bian went to another planet for the certification, just to avoid Bia Yishan finding out.
"Well, what did you expect. He is a professor." Han Yan said with a shrug.
"Also don't even bother persuading him, I've already been selected as a cook soldier." Han Yan said mischievously.
"A cook soldier, where, when?" Bian asked.
"Just now, a cook soldier for a ship called daphne" Han Yan said with a relaxed smile.
Bian deactivated his super body, the mystical hum seized.
'What a scary power' he thought to himself. His super body even affected where Han Yan was sent.
Bian and Han Yan didn't return to the sanctuaries but rather practiced the dongxuan sutra together. Bian was finally able to teach her everything about the sutra.
A few weeks later they graduated from the Alliance Central Military Academy with a major degree.
In Bian's room
"I never did like you, just don't get yourself killed." An Luofeng said to Bian, he gave the others a hug and left.
"Thank you Bian, what you did for my family." Xue Wen couldn't finish his sentence before he burst into tears.
After a hug that definitely lasted a bit too long, he departed.
"Come on, lets go to the training room" Ouyang Ming said with sunglasses on. He was wearing a black leather trench coat over a black vest, with black pants, black gloves and black boots.
In the training center, they entered into a room. A lot of first years and second years in the training center saw their senior's about to fight.
"Hey, some senior's are about to duke it out one last time." One guy said to his friend excitedly.
"Bro, if its not Jing Jia, I'm not interested." The guy said.
"But still, graduating students of the academy. Their fight will be awesome" The first guy said and left.
"Fine fine" the guy stood up and went to watch also.
In the training room.
"Woah a lot of people gathered, we aren't even famous. Want to activate the privacy mode." Ouyang Ming asked.
"No, I'll whoop you so hard they'll feel it in the next generation." Bian remembered when Ouyang Ming tackled him in the spaceship, still a bit resentful.
"You can try it." With a smile Ouyang Ming removed his glasses slightly. His vulture like eyes glowed brightly in that moment.
He threw the sunglasses at Bian, who caught it out of instinct. Distracted enough for a kick to land from Ouyang Ming, who took back the sunglasses and put them on.
'He's very fast!' Bian rushed at him and gave him a clean punch, it passed right through Ouyang Ming.
"An afterimage" Bian turned around and crossed his guards.
BOOM!
He was sent flying like a rocket, slamming into the training walls.
...
"I didn't even see him move" The Jing Jia admirer had seen his fights before, but compared to Jing Jia, Ouyang Ming was just too fast.
"Dude record this"
"That senior us too cool"
"Where can I get his black clothes, tight on top, yet free at the bottom."
"I wonder if he needs a girlfriend"
"No way girl, guys like that focus only on the Dao, no time for distractions"
...
"Is that all you got" Ouyang Ming taunted.
"I'm just getting started" Bian walked forward and replied calmly.
With a scoff, Ouyang Ming seemed to vanish from the spot.
The image of the lightning rune surfaced in Bian's mind, time seemed to slow to a crawl. With dongxuan movement firing on all cylinders, Bian felt the disturbance of air from behind.
'Wait for it'
Bian faced the front as though oblivious to the attack coming from behind.
'Wait for it!'
Bian turned behind and saw Ouyang Ming throwing a punch at his face.
'It's over' Ouyang Ming thought.
Bian tilted his head slightly, the punch from above passed him by an hairs breadth. The Ouyang Ming in front dissipated into an after image.
"Impos-"
BOOM!
Before Ouyang Ming could finish his word, Bian channeled a yang punch straight to his face. He flew towards the wall faster than a car towards a lamp post.
Bian looked at his shaking hand. At the last moment Ouyang Ming, activated some kind of defensive skill.
'What a monster' Bian thought.
...
"What just happened?" One guy asked.
"It looks like a glitch, he tried to punch him but flew away." Most people didn't even see the real Ouyang Ming, neither did they see Bian's super sonic punch.
While they were rooting for either Bian or Ouyang Ming.
...
'How' Ouyang Ming missed again. Done with tricks he started making beeline attacks at Bian.
At first it would scratch him, them he evaded by superficial margins and now he could dodge any attack thrown at him.
'It's as if he's learning' Ouyang Ming felt a shiver run up his spine.
'Should I use my claws? No, this match is over' Ouyang Ming suddenly stopped moving.
"What a good fight" he said with a smile and stretched.
"Yeah! Really good fight" Bian responded.
They exchanged contact details, a bond of acknowledgement formed.
"I won't go easy on you next time." Ouyang Ming said.
"Looking forward to it" Bian responded.
"Ah! Senior, why did you stop. I staked all my money on you." One guy said.
After Ouyang Ming left, Bian went to greet professor Bai.
"Professor Bai, take care and goodbye."
"Why are you greeting me goodbye? Didn't you want to to work in the hall after your deployment, I'll see you soon." Bai Yishan waved him off.
"Are you done with the goodbyes" Han Yan met up with Bian.
"Yeah, all but one" Bian responded with a smile.
"You're going back to planet daylight?" Han Yan asked.
"Gonna meet my folks, take care of zero for me." Bian gave Han Yan a deep hug. He used the lightning rune to elongate the time of the hug.
"Take care" Han Yan left for planet Roca.
"The pain of leaving good friends behind after school" Bian sobbed a little. He went to the spaceship designated for planet daylight, he watched as the planet got further and further away.
"Goodbye, Alliance Central Military Academy."
