Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Deadly Training (Three More)_1
Clang clang!

The monster incessantly pounded its fists against the iron pillar, its blood-red pupils staring intently at Phoenix, eyes seemingly filled with endless strength, compelling Phoenix to avert her gaze.

After a moment, Phoenix remembered her task and quickly retrieved a case from a corner box, opening it to reveal a long, slim gun with a syringe launcher attached to the muzzle.

The case had two compartments: one for the gun, the other for rows of syringes in different colors.

She took a syringe filled with a white liquid, attached it to the muzzle, aimed at the humanoid monster, and fired with a snap.

The syringe hit the monster, and the liquid was injected.

After a short time, the originally frenzied humanoid monster gradually calmed down.

“Who are you, what is your name?” Phoenix asked.

The humanoid monster tilted its head in thought, first appearing confused, then clutching its head and roaring loudly, as if trying to remember something, but failing. Its previously subsided temper flared up once again.

“Seems like I’ll have to inject you with another dose of the stabilizer.” Phoenix pulled out another syringe and fired it again.

“Who are you, what is your name?”

“Take your time, no rush, you must think clearly about who you are.”

“You need to learn to control your thoughts, you must learn to think when you transform.”

“Come on, tell me, who are you?”

After repeated attempts, with the monster only cocking its head as if in meditation, fifteen minutes passed without any progress.

Just as Phoenix was preparing to continue the training, the humanoid monster’s body suddenly began to change.

Its fangs retracted at a visible speed, the bloody sinews on its body gradually faded, and the red color in its eyes slowly dissipated. In about ten seconds, the monster’s form had vanished, reverting back to Ye Xiong’s human shape.

Ye Xiong crouched on the ground, writhing in pain from the after-effects of transformation, clutching his head and roaring.

He coughed desperately, his stomach churning as if a raging sea, unable to vomit.

That kind of pain, indescribable to one who has not experienced it.

All he knew was that he had never suffered so terribly in his life.

Two minutes later, the pain had completely subsided, and Ye Xiong lay on the ground, gasping for air.

“How do you feel?” Phoenix asked, standing at the iron cage and looking down at him.

“Not dead.”

Despite not being able to control his actions during the transformation, Ye Xiong remembered everything that had happened clearly and knew that Phoenix was seriously training him.

The words before were just meant to provoke him.

“I find your tolerance is getting worse by the day, just a few words set you off into transformation.” Phoenix scorned.

“Who would have thought, you can tell lies without even blinking.” Ye Xiong admitted that he had indeed been deceived just now.

“After preliminary testing, the conclusion is as follows: your transformation lasts for about fifteen minutes, and your abilities post-transformation need further testing. After fifteen minutes, you automatically revert to human form, which takes ten seconds; after reverting, you will experience about two minutes of after-effects, during which your combat strength is zero.” Phoenix read from a notebook where she had recorded the data.

“You need to remember these data very clearly, they could save your life in the future.” After closing the notebook, Phoenix commanded, “Stand up and try out your abilities.”

“Let me lie down for a while,” Ye Xiong said.

“No, that will affect the test data.” Phoenix was very serious.

Ye Xiong had no choice but to stand up and threw a random series of punches. Although the after-effects of transformation had passed, the transformation had drained his strength, and his current power was less than one-fifth of his usual.

Afterward, at regular intervals, Phoenix ordered Ye Xiong to act, then recorded data at each stage.

The final result showed that, after transformation, the body fully recovered to peak condition in one day’s time.

Meanwhile, a part of his strength was restored every two hours.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

The dawn’s sunlight shone into the room.

Ye Xiong was sleeping soundly when suddenly his head was struck by a pillow.

“Get up, it’s time to train,” Phoenix commanded.

“Can’t I rest for a day?”

“No, I don’t have much time left. We must ensure you fully control your Transformation ability before the Beast Organization starts to act, or else I won’t feel at ease,” Phoenix said.

This feeling was all too familiar.

Back in the days with the Reaper Squad, as the instructor, Phoenix always spoke to the six members in this tone. I had thought I would never hear these words again in my life, yet I found myself being trained by her once more.

“Alright then, let’s continue the training.”

In the following days, Ye Xiong was trained by Phoenix like a lab rat.

The first step of the training was naturally to help the transformed Ye Xiong maintain his own consciousness. This process was too long and too tedious, in Phoenix’s words.

It was like training a dog.

During this time, Phoenix’s phrase, “Who are you, and what is your name?” had been repeated tens of thousands of times, but unfortunately, it was hardly effective.

Phoenix was unable to make any breakthroughs.

If anything had progressed, it was that Ye Xiong had mastered the ability to transform at will.

The frustrating part was that once transformed, he simply couldn’t control his emotions.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a month had gone by.

Throughout the days of training, Ye Xiong had forgotten about the outside world, forgotten everything, even the women in his life; he had no energy left to think about them.

Enduring torture day after day, dealing with the aftereffects of his transformation, he was too busy taking care of himself to bother with anything else.

“That’s enough, we’ll stop the training here. Remember, unless it’s a matter of life and death, never transform again, or the consequences will be very serious. Did you hear me?” Phoenix cautioned.

Ye Xiong nodded.

Phoenix turned to leave, but Ye Xiong suddenly called out, “Wait a moment.”

“Is there something else?” Phoenix asked, surprised.

“Thank you,” Ye Xiong said sincerely.

The past half month had been torture for him, and he knew it had been just as much a torture for Phoenix.

Doing the same thing every day, saying the same words, like a robot. Any other person would have lost patience and given up by now, but she never did.

Even though the results had been minimal at best.

“If you really want to thank me, just keep living well. That way, the guilt in my heart will be a little less.”

After saying this, Phoenix left without looking back because she was afraid if she did, he would see her tears.

Ye Xiong stared blankly after her. He knew that the deaths of the five members of the Reaper Squad were not her fault by command, but she had always felt guilty about it in her heart.

That was why she helped Ye Xiong time and again.

She was a person of deep emotions and loyalty.

Back in his room, looking at the phone on the table that had long since run out of power, Ye Xiong gave a wry smile.

During the training, to prevent distractions, Phoenix had confiscated his phone to keep him focused and prevent the women in his life from disturbing his mind.

Turning on the phone, dozens of messages flooded in, all of them missed calls.
