Train Survival: I Can Evolve Everything!

Chapter 270: A Victory / Familiar Gaze

"One member to dispatch? What if it's my mechanical creations or summoned creatures?"

Before the Guide floating high above could answer Ye Qiyan's question.

The Shark-man wielding the meteor hammer burst into maniacal laughter first.

"Hahahaha! I'll answer for her! You can only send one! Trying to rely on numerical advantage in this arena is impossible! Kid, you might as well summon your beasts to die!"

The Guide calmly glanced at the Shark-man, who immediately shut his mouth but still glared at Ye Qiyan with a ferocious expression, as if contemplating how to eat him most appropriately.

"This trial is individual. No more than one participant may enter the competition, and close-combat weapons must be used during battle."

Understood.

This trial.

Meaning, these are just the rules for this time.

"Hey, Guide, is the information above wrong? How could this guy be a newcomer without even a recorded name? I've already won three consecutive matches, so I should be matched against opponents with three wins too, right?"

The Shark-man Batu Lu suddenly noticed something unusual on the high screen.

He had been in this arena for a long time and had always been matched against opponents with the same winning streak.

Three wins matched against zero wins?

This was the first time it had happened.

The Guide's gaze silently fell upon Ye Qiyan as she spoke softly.

"The matching, is not incorrect."

"The rules, are as such."

The Shark-man scratched his head, his muscle-filled brain completely unable to comprehend why he, with three victories, would be matched against a newcomer who had just entered this arena.

He also completely failed to realize.

If such a thing occurred.

There could only be one reason.

That was.

The human before him possessed abilities.

That under the matching rule's limits.

Had already surpassed the original extremes.

"Human! Tremble in fear! Grovel before the great Shark-man Batu Lu! Send your summoned creature to die! That way, you can continue to barely survive! Until all your summons are exhausted, hahahaha!"

Fear?

Just kidding~

Even if this guy's appearance was put in a horror movie, Ye Qiyan would only see it as a joke.

"You must not have played many games."

"What do you mean?"

Ye Qiyan smiled.

"How does that saying go? Oh right, me with my low win streak against you with your high win streak—the one who should be afraid is you."

First match.

Might as well, win beautifully.

Since it's close-combat weapons.

Who should go up is unquestionable.

"Red Tears."

Boom—!

A crimson lightning flash crossed the sky.

Red Tears' rain completely covered this arena standing in the desert.

The Shark-man burst into roaring laughter.

"Haha! Heaven helps me! It's raining! I'll become stronger!"

His muscles, his size, became thicker and more powerful the moment they touched the rain.

When Red Tears appeared at the arena's center.

Holding her sheathed longsword in embrace.

The Shark-man grew even more arrogant.

"Skinny and weak, doesn't look tasty at all, haha!"

Boom—

The Guide looked upward.

She caught a few drops of the Red Tears rain in her hand, and for the first time, her impassive face showed an expression called confusion.

She quickly shook off the rainwater, wiped her hand with her clothes, and somehow produced an umbrella to shield herself from the rain.

Now, her gaze toward Red Tears and Ye Qiyan held more astonishment and... fear.

Ding ding—

The bell rang.

Shark-man Batu Lu lifted the massive meteor hammer and swung it in circles above his head.

Then, hurled it violently.

Red Tears easily dodged, but, close combat?

This, could this be considered close combat?

The Guide didn't say anything.

Meaning the arena's rules weren't absolute.

"Red Tears."

Ye Qiyan didn't plan to waste any more time on this Shark-man.

He wasn't strong.

Or rather.

Very weak.

Three consecutive wins?

Seems.

Not that impressive.

"Draw your sword."

The command was given.

Red Tears' figure flickered behind the Shark-man.

Her seemingly slow sword swing was a strike the Shark-man couldn't evade no matter what.

Hum~

The Tear-Engraving Sword emitted a soft chime.

The Shark-man's body, from the very center, top to bottom, developed a thin blood line.

He trembled as he looked at his own body, wanting to speak, but discovered his mouth had split into two halves.

No, not just his mouth.

His entire being.

Had been split in two.

Thump thump—

The two halves of his body fell separately, making two identical sounds.

On the Light Screen, the Shark-man's portrait turned gray.

Beep—!

A sharp horn sounded, followed immediately by massive cheers from the surrounding humanoid phantoms.

Ye Qiyan looked at the Guide with a smile.

"Can we proceed to the next match?"

The Guide silently flew down to the ground, though her body remained suspended in mid-air.

Her whole form slightly curled up, as if wanting to avoid contact with any raindrops.

Her gaze toward Ye Qiyan was no longer the initial peace and indifference, but held an emotion that was hard to comprehend.

This look... Ye Qiyan felt it was very familiar, not familiar like someone he knew, but rather that he had been watched with the same emotional gaze by someone before.

Who was it?

"You... won."

On the screen in the sky, a single victory appeared after Ye Qiyan's name.

"So can we go to the next one?"

The Guide shook her head.

"Not until tomorrow. Those are the rules."

Alright, it seems it will take at least twelve days to leave this station.

"You..."

"Hmm?"

"No... nothing. Here are tomorrow's coordinates. Remember to reach the coordinate location before 1 PM tomorrow."

"Give them to me now? I remember the rules said..."

"..."

The Guide didn't speak, just silently watched him.

"Okay, I'll be there before 1 PM tomorrow. By the way, what should I do before the next trial begins?"

"Rest, eat."

"Where?"

The Guide pointed at her feet.

"Here. Before your next trial, this place won't disappear but will become your rest area."

"Tomorrow, don't forget to participate in the trial. Also, this rain... don't let it last too long."

After saying this, the Guide's umbrella carried her into the air, and with a flicker, she disappeared.

The rain stopped.

Red Tears returned to Ye Qiyan's side.

"Well done~"

He patted Red Tears' head.

The Shark-man's body, split in two, remained on the spot.

"Being this big, he should make quite a bit of fish feed."

"However, tomorrow at 1 PM... that's the same as the normal station entry time in the Wasteland."

"Hmm? Could this be imitating the Wasteland?"
