Chapter 168: Thirty Years East of the River, Thirty Years West of the River!
After teaching a lesson to this clearly somewhat arrogant and inexperienced young lad, Kevin continued his seemingly unhurried journey across the sea surface, steadily advancing in the direction Fu Xuan had previously indicated.
Although Kevin had been directly brought into the Xianzhou by Silver Wolf from another layer of space and hadn't personally observed the full scale of this stellar-class giant ship, nor had he inquired about any related information anywhere... judging by the density of distances between the various cave heavens he currently knew about, the actual size of the entire Luofu was at least several times larger than Earth used to be.
And what Fu Xuan referred to as "nearby"... in reality, to travel from the Alchemy Commission to the Scalegorge Waterscape, there was still a distance of at least a hundred kilometers.
If one were to take a starskiff, such a distance could naturally be covered in an instant. But if measured on foot, an ordinary person would probably need at least half a day.
Kevin certainly also had ways to reach his destination in an extremely short time, but he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he maintained a very average speed, moving forward at a constant pace, leisurely waiting for Yanqing, whom he was holding in his hand, to gradually wake up.
A genius youth is indeed a genius youth. For an ordinary person, this level of unconsciousness would take at least half an hour or more to gradually recover from, yet he managed to get through it easily in less than a few minutes.
Kevin was quite confident in his control over force; if he said someone would be knocked out for half an hour, it would definitely be half an hour... this could definitely be considered his innate talent.
But no amount of talent can withstand a mind that's asking for trouble. After gradually regaining consciousness from the coma and recovering his clear awareness, Yanqing's first reaction wasn't to desperately resist, nor to beg for mercy with all his might, nor did he realize that Kevin actually had no intention of being his enemy at all.
Instead—
"Grrr, kill me!"
"......"
Even Kevin, who had experienced countless years and seen much of the world, and who thought most things probably couldn't disturb his state of mind anymore, couldn't help but be rendered speechless upon seeing such a scene.
Should he continue playing the villain, to see if this single-minded brain could actually turn a corner? Or should he directly explain the truth, give a harsh lesson, and make this guy reflect on exactly what he did wrong?
The usually resolute and decisive Kevin found himself rarely falling into prolonged contemplation between two options. Because he successfully discovered that it seemed no matter which one he chose, the likelihood of this guy seriously correcting himself wouldn't be very high.
How about...
Kevin's gaze shifted, quickly locking onto Yanqing's rear end—after teaching Elysia a lesson quite a few times, he now seemed quite familiar with this educational method, gradually developing a tendency to become a violent-type parent.
However, the main reason it evolved to this point was because Kevin was well aware that mere words alone could never educate a child like Elysia... after all, she had fairly complete memories; how could she possibly change her views gradually just from a few words like a normal mischievous child?
And clearly, another new type of mischievous child who simply wouldn't listen to others had now appeared before Kevin. Given the circumstances, he had no choice but to resort to his most habitual method.
"??!"
Smack————!
"Ouch!!!!!"
"You... what do you think you're doing! Even if your strength is great and you can easily defeat me, that doesn't mean I'll submit... Ouch?!"
"You, you, you! If you have what it takes, let me down right now! I'll immediately show you the hidden sword technique I originally prepared to use against the General; I'll definitely beat you to a pulp... Hey hey hey?!"
———— ————
After experiencing several minutes of utterly unreasonable and inhumane education, this originally unruly youth indeed became much more well-behaved.
At this moment, with both hands stealthily placed behind his back and his head lowered somewhat timidly, he followed behind Kevin—this child probably wouldn't be as forgetful as Elysia; at the very least, from now on he would definitely behave much better in front of Kevin.
Clearly, General Jing Yuan hadn't yet managed to think of any particularly good methods to blunt this guy's edge so far; it must be because he hadn't found the correct way to open up and teach a mischievous child!
Presumably, Kevin wouldn't mind sharing his techniques and insights with that Luofu General when the time comes.
"So... you're actually not with those Stellaron Hunters? Instead, you're someone the General invited to help?"
After experiencing such a painful beating and having regained some clarity of mind, with a little guidance, Yanqing managed to figure out the key points—fortunately, he was just straightforward in his thinking; if he seriously considered any problem, he was actually quite smart.
After all, being able to have such talent in the way of sword control meant his head couldn't possibly be truly stupid, right?
"Mhm."
In response to Yanqing's question, Kevin merely nodded expressionlessly. Just as he had remained expressionless while hitting someone earlier.
But the more Kevin acted like this, the more Yanqing felt his face burning with shame as if dripping blood—after all, not only did he mistake his own side's reinforcement for an enemy. The most devastating point was of course... he didn't even win!
But then again, someone personally invited by the General himself probably wouldn't be much weaker in strength than the General... thinking about it this way made him feel much more balanced inside.
However, judging by his attire, this Mr. Kevin shouldn't be from the Xianzhou Alliance... at least not from the Luofu; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have never heard of him before.
But! So what if he can't beat him for now? He's still young after all; there's still a vast space for growth waiting for him to develop in the future!
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river... Don't bully the young for being poor!!!
At the same time, Kevin still hadn't realized that the youth behind him was, to some extent, just as troublesome as a certain pink-haired mischievous child. It hadn't even been a few minutes before his straightforward mind became active again, thinking about how he should intensify his training to successfully defeat the other party.
Of course, the main reason Kevin didn't pay attention to these things was because after more than ten minutes of traveling across the sea surface, a massive island had gradually revealed its true form before his eyes.
"......This is the Scalegorge Waterscape?"
