Chapter 814: A Pervert

Li Yi was relatively courteous to Li Ruhai, the subject under study, nodding politely in greeting.

Although he was surprised that such a powerful evolver had emerged in World 17, he remained skeptical about the Bio-Splitting Technique mentioned by the AI Xiao Mei.

An AI is still just an AI—not a true cultivator.

Li Yi believed such an extreme cultivation method, which accelerated cultivation speed forty-fivefold and split multiple selves, must have drawbacks—he simply hadn't discovered them yet.

Nevertheless, this Li Ruhai was indeed worth studying.

"As a survivor of this world, were you captured by AI Xiao Mei and brought into Base 17 as experimental material?" Li Yi asked.

Li Ruhai replied seriously: "To be precise, I was picked up as waste by an intelligent robot. One day, I was scavenging in a small town, starved and thirsty, so I fell asleep by the roadside. When I woke up, I was inside Base 17."

"Xiao Mei is a kind-hearted girl. She's researching the Black Death virus to save this world overrun by bio-monsters, so I'm happy to cooperate with her work."

Li Yi nodded slightly: "Are you the only one brought here?"

"The research succeeded. The excess subjects were expelled from Base 17 and had their memories erased."

At that moment, another split body of Li Ruhai walked over and said: "But I am special—I must stay behind to protect Base 17, for it is the hope of the world's civilization revival and cannot be destroyed by bio-monsters."

"Li Yi, I sense you're different from other evolvers from Earth. The aura you unconsciously radiate carries a sense of danger—your strength must be immense, right?"

Another split body of Li Ruhai approached, staring at Li Yi with excitement, as if he'd discovered a treasure, his eyes gleaming.

"Here, I'm bored. Every day I only fight myself—I can predict every move I make with my eyes closed. I want to spar with you. What do you say?"

Li Yi immediately refused: "I'm busy now. No time to spar. Maybe another time."

As he spoke, he turned to AI Xiao Mei: "Xiao Mei, you mentioned earlier there's another evolver from Earth here. Where is he?"

But Li Yi hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly.

One of Li Ruhai's split bodies erupted with immense energy, charging forward with excitement, ignoring Li Yi's refusal, and launched a punch wreathed in brilliant light.

If this strike wasn't blocked, it could destroy the entire survival base.

"Li Yi, stop him! Don't let him destroy the base!" Xiao Mei screamed in terror.

Although merely an AI, she possessed human emotions—evidently, this Xiao Mei was far superior to the patched-together Blue Ji that Li Yi had once known.

Li Yi said nothing, merely raising one palm and effortlessly catching the punch.

The brilliant light vanished instantly; the terrifying force sank like a stone into the ocean, disappearing without a trace.

Though powerful, this blow meant nothing to Li Yi now—he could kill great demons with sheer physical strength alone. His divine bloodline granted him an invincible physique; even this astonishing Li Ruhai posed no threat.

"Li Yi, you're truly strong—stronger than three of me, no, ten of me combined," the Li Ruhai before him said, not discouraged, but even more determined.

Then the other split bodies began merging again.

Now, before Li Yi's eyes, the forty-five split bodies had dwindled to just four. After merging, the other three split bodies' power multiplied again.

This strength was sufficient to kill heavenly demons on Earth—but it was their limit.

Even if all remaining split bodies fused, they could not reach the level of a great demon.

Still, achieving this much was astonishing enough.

"Your strength pales beside mine. Stop attacking me. I told you—I have no time to spar today," Li Yi said calmly, then applied slight pressure.

A roar like a tiger echoed, and the Li Ruhai split body before him was blasted backward, smashing through the wall like a cannonball and flying over ten kilometers to land on a snowy mountain.

The split body twisted, bones shattered, embedded motionless in the mountain's rock.

Li Yi hadn't intended to kill him, but such reckless provocation deserved punishment—otherwise, the fellow showed no respect for his senior.

Yet even grievously wounded, the split body writhed before Li Yi's gaze, healing at an inhuman speed—within seconds, the blasted split body stood whole again.

"Remarkable regenerative ability. Interesting," Li Yi thought silently.

Combining bio-technology with evolution methods, this Li Ruhai had indeed created something unusual.

But the other three split bodies now smiled at Li Yi—smiles that felt deeply unsettling: one grinned like a madman, one like a pervert, the other like an idiot.

All three split bodies simultaneously reached into their pants, fumbling with something.

Instantly.

One split body of Li Ruhai lunged forward, roaring: "Li Yi, taste my attack!" Then he yanked out a bloody object from his crotch, wrapped in cosmic energy, like a sharp spear thrust toward Li Yi's face.

"."

At that moment, Li Yi's entire worldview shattered.

Pervert? Madman?

Was this the cost of fusing after Bio-Splitting? The more split bodies fused, the more the mind unraveled? Just moments ago he seemed normal—how had he suddenly become this?

But there was no time to think.

The opponent had truly pulled out his own member and thrust it forward like a spear.

"Get lost!" Li Yi roared. Silver lightning crackled around him; the power of Dragon and Tiger exploded.

With a single surge of force,

the split body of Li Ruhai before him exploded into fragments—flesh and severed limbs littered the ground, yet impossibly, the pieces writhed and crawled.

Cosmic energy surged wildly toward the bloody chunks.

The flesh and debris rapidly converged, regenerated, and soon took shape as tiny human forms—each unmistakably Li Ruhai.

But his attack wasn't over.

Another split body of Li Ruhai pulled out another bloody mass, grinning excitedly: "This is my newest technique—Mobile Cannon. Try it out!"

"No thanks. You're a pervert—I'm not," Li Yi wanted to retort.

But the split body had already thrown the mass.

Infused with cosmic energy, the bloody mass glowed, resembling a high-speed energy sphere—somewhat lethal, in a twisted way.

But if you had such a technique, why bother tearing something from your crotch? Or are you just showing off your ultra-fast regeneration?

Li Yi flashed like lightning, vanishing from his spot, evading the attack entirely.

BOOM!

The metal wall behind him was blown open, the strike impacting a distant snowy peak, obliterating its summit and triggering a nearby avalanche.

"Dodged well! Not over—Continuous Mobile Cannon!" the split body roared, shoving both hands into his pants, preparing another assault.

"Get out of this base. I've never met anyone so disgusting."

Li Yi could no longer tolerate this pervert—he sent a palm strike through the air.

A terrifying fist force surged like an ocean, blasting every Li Ruhai split body and every fragment of flesh and limb away—clearing the mess to avoid contaminating the environment.

"Damn it! I haven't even used my new ultimate technique yet!" the final split body, hands still in his pants, shouted in frustration.

But Li Yi no longer wished to see this pervert.

After that single punch, everything was cleared. Li Ruhai was blasted far beyond reach—though still alive, he couldn't return to Base 17 anytime soon.

"AI, why didn't you warn me he was mentally unstable?" Li Yi turned to Xiao Mei.

AI Xiao Mei replied: "He's just slightly schizophrenic—no major issue. It's a side effect of splitting himself. So far, he's caused no harm to the base."

"You're sure you only created one such pervert? What if more pop up?" Li Yi added.

"I guarantee only one exists. There is absolutely no second in this base," Xiao Mei declared firmly.

Li Yi stared at her, unsure if she spoke truthfully—he lacked access rights to Base 17; it was normal for Xiao Mei to withhold information.

"I hope not. Otherwise, I'll have my AI Hong Ji hack into Base 17 and replace you, the troublemaking AI."

"Please don't do that!" Xiao Mei begged in panic.

"Li Yi, this pervert really is the only one here. The AI isn't lying—creating such a pervert isn't easy."

Suddenly.

At that moment, a cold female voice spoke.

Immediately, an inexplicable sandalwood incense drifted through the air, and a woman in plain white robes, long black hair cascading to her waist, unadorned and barefaced, stepped slowly from a nearby corridor, holding a sacred seal.

Merely by her presence, cosmic energy in the heavens and earth seemed controlled by her, rushing toward her and forming a halo behind her head, making her resemble a bodhisattva descending from heaven.

Li Yi stared at her—he felt he'd seen her before, perhaps at the Golden Academy, but couldn't recall her name.
