Seventh level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, life-and-death battle basin.
"Stop, you can't kill it!"
When Sunless thrust her sword forward and was about to pierce through Field Marshal Awesomo's heart, which was just a centimeter away from her sword's edge, Liu Yu's anxious shout sounded in a timely manner.
Sunless subconsciously made a judgment. Although she believed that Shi Xiaobai was still alive and was willing to wait for his safe return, she was not willing to let go of even the slightest possibility of helping Shi Xiaobai. Therefore, she was extremely hesitant about killing Field Marshal Awesomo. With Liu Yu's voice stopping her, it allowed her to temporarily give up on her indecisive thoughts.
Sunless relied on her precise control to stop her sword just as it was about to pierce through the massive heart!
However, something that caught her off guard happened at the same time. When she stopped her sword, Field Marshal Awesomo had taken a step forward and slammed into the sword.
Sunless failed to retreat in time as the sword pierced through Field Marshal Awesomo's heart and penetrated his back!
Field Marshal Awesomo had chosen to commit suicide!?
The audience was dumbfounded. The rookies were also dumbfounded. Even Sunless was stunned in her spot.
"Sunless, quickly retreat!"
Liu Yu shouted once again. He had already guessed the truth, so he wasn't as shocked as the others. However, his expression was the most solemn. That was because if his guess was correct, this battle would be even more troublesome than what he had imagined!
When Sunless heard this, she immediately pulled out her sword and retreated. She opened up a distance of more than a hundred meters. Field Marshal Awesomo had taken the initiative to slam into her, proving that Liu Yu's judgment of 'don't kill it' was correct. Therefore, Sunless was willing to continue believing in Liu Yu.
At the same moment Sunless retreated, Liu Yu suddenly took out a stack of talismans from his Daoist robe and threw them into the sky. He hurriedly chanted, "Nature of Heaven and Earth, Scatter the Foul Aura. Mystique in the Cave, Dazzling Grand Primordial, Mighty Gods of the Eight Directions, Make Me Natural. Numinous Talisman Command, Inform the Nine Heavens. Heaven Net Daina, Astral Opening Great Mystery, Slay Demons and Bind Evil, Deliver Millions …"
Liu Yu's recitation speed could be said to be exaggerated. Such a lengthy incantation only took him a few seconds to finish reciting. and when he reached the last word, he suddenly waved the whisk in his hand towards the sky.
"Heaven-Earth Cleansing Mantra!"
The hundreds of talismans floating in the sky suddenly burst into flames. The flames were holy white, and the talismans were burned to ashes in an instant, turning into wisps of white smoke that melted in the sky.
A milky-white beam of light that could be seen with the naked eye suddenly scattered down from the void, landing on Field Marshal Awesomo's corpse that had fallen to the ground!
"Transcend the myriad ghosts, purify, evil creature!"
At this moment, everyone realized for the first time that this young man in a Taoist robe was a young Taoist priest who had inherited the orthodox Taoism!
The Heaven Earth Cleansing Mantra was the sixth mantra of the Eight Great Mantras of Daoism. For Liu Yu to be able to grasp it at such a young age, he could be said to be a true Daoist genius. However, he was still young, so he could only display a small portion of the Heaven Earth Cleansing Mantra's power.
The true 'Heaven Earth Cleansing Mantra' lived up to its name. It could purify an entire region of heaven and earth. However, with Liu Yu's current strength, he could only use a single Purification Sacred Light.
But even so, when the holy light of purification landed on Field Marshal Awesomo's corpse, the effects were extremely obvious. Field Marshal Awesomo's body was bathed in the white light as it slowly melted like ice.
Seeing this, Liu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
"Be careful!"
An exclamation sounded at that moment. It was the voice of Speechless, who was recovering from his injuries a distance away.
This warning could be said to be timely because Field Marshal Awesomo, who was being melted by the holy light, had suddenly stood up!
Field Marshal Awesomo was not dead!
At the instant he stood up, the wounds on his body healed at an extremely exaggerated speed. His heart that had been pierced instantly recovered to its original state. The hole in his chest had also vanished!
"Roar!"
Field Marshal Awesomo raised his head and roared. The holy light of purification that shone on his body instantly shattered. He suddenly brandished his battle ax as his terrifying strength seemed to rise to a whole new level. The battle ax cleaved out a wave that seemed like it could split apart mountains and rivers as it charged at the distant Liu Yu at an extremely fast speed.
"Puah!"
Liu Yu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The Heaven Earth Cleansing Mantra had been forcefully broken and the energy immediately backlashed at his body. The instant of extreme weakness could be said to be fatal. It left his body in a state where he could not move at all. He could not dodge the battle ax wave, and Sunless and company were very far away from him. They would probably not be able to provide support in time.
This strike was a sneak attack that had seized the perfect opportunity!
"Damn it, I still underestimated it!"
A wry smile suffused across Liu Yu's lips as he racked his brains in an attempt to find a chance of survival in this hopeless situation.
But he could not help but think of the figures he missed.
His master in the Daoist temple, his strict senior brothers, his mischievous junior brothers, and …
The scene in his mind suddenly froze. A cute girl in Daoist robes with a bit of baby fat on her cheeks was smiling innocently. She was chasing butterflies in a colorful sea of flowers.
"Senior Brother Liu, is it true that Daoists cannot get married?"
"Junior Sister, you probably have never met Master's wife?"
"Ah? Master's wife? "
"Master's wife is also Master's wife. Although Senior Brother has only met her once."
"Boohoo, Master is such a big liar!"
"No, no, no. It's because Junior Sister is too gullible! Daoists are not monks. Of course they can get married. Besides, in this era, some monks have groups of wives and concubines. This bit of common sense is necessary, right? "
"Boohoo, so that's how it is! That's great. Daoists can get married … "
"Eh? That's great? Could it be … Junior Sister wants to get married? "
"Ah? That's not it! "
"Haha, your face is as red as an apple!"
"Hmph! Senior Brother Liu is a baddie. He's a bully! "
…
Junior Sister!
Liu Yu suddenly stared with widened eyes!
How could he die here?
He could not die here!
But now, the only solution was … the exit command.
However, if he were to use the exit command, he would not be able to do anything despite the tiny bit of information he had managed to analyze. He could only rely on the remaining rookies to save Shi Xiaobai.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
But he had no other choice.
"Sesame …"
Liu Yu bit his lower lip as his heart was filled with guilt and indignation.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed in front of him. Liu Yu hurriedly shut his mouth!
Feng Yuanlin!
At the most critical moment, Feng Yuanlin, who had unknowingly appeared in front of him, had rushed in front of him!
Feng Yuanlin raised both his hands and with a low growl, a five-meter-wide gigantic shield appeared out of thin air in his hands!
"Boom!"
The shockwave produced by the battle-ax left a clear crack in the ground as it slammed straight into the gigantic shield. Feng Yuanlin grimaced in pain as he swayed, forcefully withstanding it!
The gigantic shield did not shatter. From the front, there were only a few shallow cracks. It was evident how strong its defense was.
"Phew, thankfully I was nearby."
Feng Yuanlin heaved a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
Liu Yu's gaze trembled slightly. He saw that Feng Yuanlin's right shoe was gone and it had landed tens of meters away.
Feng Yuanlin was nearby, but not too close. Despite that, he still rushed over with all his might. Even though he had dropped his shoe in a moment of desperation, he did not pause for even a millisecond.
"Seriously … what an exaggerated shield."
Liu Yu dragged his injured body forward. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. There was some lingering fear, some joy, but most of all, he was touched and grateful.
Feng Yuanlin grinned and said, "This isn't those trash shields from the past. No, I should say that I'm no longer the Feng Yuanlin of the past. In the past ten days in the Infernal armory, I …"
"Got it."
Liu Yu patted Feng Yuanlin on the shoulder, interrupting his bragging that could not be stopped once it began. He said gently, "Thank you."
Feng Yuanlin scratched his head and gave a silly smile. This was apparently the first time he was thanked by Liu Yu ever since they got to know each other.
Liu Yu gave Feng Yuanlin a grateful glance once again before staggering out from the side of the shield. At this moment, Field Marshal Awesomo's wounds had basically healed. If not for his body still being covered in blood, who would believe that the tall minotaur's body was covered in more than a hundred wounds ten seconds ago? His chest had been penetrated and his heart shattered?
Feng Yuanlin put away his shield and immediately exclaimed when he saw this, "Holy sh * t, he revived to full health!?"
At this moment, Sunless, Pulp Farmer, Mu Yuesheng, and Mu Lengxi were standing in front of Field Marshal Awesomo. Although they were quite a distance away, they appeared to be in a pincer formation. The four looked vigilant and did not act rashly. Even Sunless had calmed down a little.
Why was Field Marshal Awesomo able to revive to full health in ten seconds?
Against such a shameless opponent, what were they to do?
The four were alarmed and puzzled, but they spontaneously cast their gazes at Liu Yu, who had walked out from behind Feng Yuanlin.
The youth in Daoist attire had made the correct judgment twice in a row. He seemed to know something.
Liu Yu did not plan on hiding the truth of his inference. He sighed and said, "I'm afraid … it's not just a full health revival."
Feng Yuanlin said in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Liu Yu said with a heavy expression, "If This Penniless Priest didn't guess wrong, not only can he revive to full health, his strength will also improve every time he revives!"
With that said, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Their eyes revealed looks of disbelief.
Not only could he revive to full health, he would even become stronger after reviving?
What kind of perverse power was that?
How could such a perverse power exist?
However, Field Marshal Awesomo did not plan on denying it. He stretched his body as though he was adapting to his increased strength.
He looked at Liu Yu and said with a chuckle, "Interesting. Can you tell This Marshal how you guessed it? Did This Marshal accidentally reveal a flaw? "
Liu Yu said with a sneer, "That's because you are too weak. Furthermore, it was too deliberate!"
Field Marshal Awesomo pricked up his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"
Everyone immediately cast puzzled looks at Liu Yu.
Liu Yu hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Your strength is completely lacking in the standard of a Level Lord, but the fabricated 'scheme' has allowed you to meet the requirements of a Level Lord. This Penniless Priest was stumped by the question of 'whether you are a Level Lord' from the beginning, resulting in this Penniless Priest not being able to figure out a thing. Thankfully, This Penniless Priest recalled a method that a youth who likes to address himself as This King had once used — fake method! "
"This Penniless Priest assumed that you are a Level Lord and determined that this assumption was true. Then, this Penniless Priest began thinking."
"Since you are a Level Lord, why are you so weak?"
"Since you are so weak, why did you speak such nonsense in the beginning, even claiming to have killed Shi Xiaobai to attract hatred?"
"Since you had already attracted hatred? Why did you deliberately emphasize it at the end, as though you were afraid that Sunless would not harden her heart to kill you? "
"This Penniless Priest thought of many answers, but none of them convinced This Penniless Priest. Only when Sunless was about to stab your heart did Your expression made This Penniless Priest understand everything. That expression was not hysterical madness, nor was it mockery without fear of death, nor was it freedom from giving up struggling. Instead, it was complacency, the complacency of a scheme succeeding!"
"Therefore, This Penniless Priest realized that being killed was very likely the goal of your series of schemes! The reason why you attracted hatred despite being so weak and deliberately did so was because you wanted to be killed! Thinking in reverse, the reason why you wanted to be killed was because you were too weak! "
"Therefore, This Penniless Priest came to a conclusion. Even if your heart was stabbed, you would absolutely not die. Instead, you would become stronger! However, what completely exceeded This Penniless Priest's expectations was that your self-healing ability was too terrifying! "
"If This Penniless Priest did not guess wrongly, the reason why you do not possess the strength a Level Lord should have is because of certain restrictions. 'Receiving a fatal injury' is very likely a prerequisite to remove this restriction."
Liu Yu's series of analysis left everyone somewhat dumbfounded. However, they could tell the reason behind it. However, all of this was based on the assumption that Field Marshal Awesomo was a Level Lord. It was unknown if Liu Yu's boldness was astounding or if he had been influenced by a particular youth to make such a shocking judgment.
Field Marshal Awesomo was clearly given a fright. He was extremely shocked as his expression changed unpredictably.
"Just this bit of information actually …"
Field Marshal Awesomo's eyes revealed killing intent as he forcefully pretended to be calm. He said with a sneer, "You have guessed half of it right. There's no harm in telling you the truth. All of this is actually a little game designed by that Lord. In order to make all of you struggle a little longer, that Lord had greatly reduced This Marshal's strength. If not, This Marshal could have smacked all of you to death with a single slap. "
"That Lord?"
Liu Yu muttered to himself, "To be addressed as' that Lord 'by the Level Lord, and to be able to wantonly restrict the Level Lord's strength, I believe it can only be the assessment program. However, the assessment program is ultimately just a program. How can it have such a strong sense of autonomy? "
Field Marshal Awesomo revealed a disdainful smile, but he did not answer Liu Yu's question. Instead, he said with a sneer, "The real game has only just begun."
Liu Yu said with a sneer, "Your scheme has been seen through. The game is over! Although you have been 'killed' once and your strength has been enhanced, from that strike, you are still far from recovering to the standard of a Level Lord. Unfortunately, if the trial-takers here were to combine forces and use their full strength, they would even be able to fight a true Level Lord. We might not be able to kill you, but we can definitely subdue you! "
Although it was somewhat exaggerated, after witnessing Sunless' strength when she 'went berserk', Liu Yu believed that as long as Speechless recovered from his injuries, the combined forces of the seven trial-takers present could very well fight a Level Lord at full strength.
"Hahaha …"
It was unknown what Field Marshal Awesomo thought of as he suddenly looked up and laughed. His maniacal laughter eventually turned into a sneer.
"You sure are smart. Indeed, if you did not kill me, This Field Marshal would have a headache, but unfortunately, you have to kill This Field Marshal. You have no choice but to kill!"
Liu Yu said with a sneer, "No choice but to kill?"
Field Marshal Awesomo nodded and squinted his eyes slightly. He said, "Don't all of you want to know where that youth is? This Field Marshal will now tell you where he is! "
When Sunless heard this, she suddenly looked up and took a step forward. She was like a beautiful lotus a moment ago, but at that moment, she was like an unsheathed sword.
Liu Yu was surprised, but following that, he thought of something and said warily, "What are you up to now?"
Field Marshal Awesomo sneered and said, "Just as you think, This Field Marshal did not kill that youth. Of course, this is also a part of that Lord's game. In fact, that youth and the Hero King you speak of are only imprisoned in the array formation world. But unfortunately, it's not an ordinary array formation. It's a 'God Slaughtering Array' that even gods are unable to crack from the inside! "
"This Field Marshal does not know if they are still alive, but I can determine that they will definitely die. Sooner or later, they will die of exhaustion!"
"Therefore, all of you can do is pray that the youth is still alive and think of a way to kill This Field Marshal."
"Because only by killing This Field Marshal will the 'God Slaughtering Array' be dispelled! Furthermore, all of you have to be fast because every second now might be the youth's last second! "
Field Marshal Awesomo laughed maniacally and said, "Do you understand? The game has only just begun! "
Liu Yu's face immediately turned extremely pale as his body began to tremble.
So this was the truth of the conspiracy. This was Field Marshal Awesomo's true goal!
If what he said was true, then only by killing him could he save Shi Xiaobai.
Then, only by killing it could he save Shi Xiaobai. Furthermore, if he did not kill it as soon as possible, every second Shi Xiaobai spent in the so-called "God Slaughtering Formation" was an additional second of danger!
But if he attempted to kill him, he would revive with astonishing regeneration abilities. Furthermore, he would become even more powerful!
This was a multiple-choice question, but none of the choices were correct!
What should he do?
How should he choose?
What was the best choice to do?
At that moment, Liu Yu was once again at a loss. Of course, he was not the only one at a loss. The others were momentarily at a loss as to what to do.
But it was at this most difficult juncture that Sunless, who was the most nervous and worried, was always the fastest to make a decision!
Without any hesitation, she raised her sword and charged at Field Marshal Awesomo!
Shi Xiaobai was in danger. Every second he wasted would increase the danger he was in.
But as long as she killed the minotaur, she could save Shi Xiaobai.
Then, what was there to hesitate about?
Of course it was to kill!
As for the regeneration ability, reviving with full health, reviving to become stronger?
So what?
"All I need to do is kill him completely!"
Sunless' expression was cold as killing intent flashed in her eyes!
Field Marshal Awesomo looked at Sunless, who was charging at him alone, and immediately sneered in his heart.
Previously, the azure-dressed girl had suppressed him alone.
But now, he was no longer the him from before. Be it his strength, defense or agility, they were no longer on the same level!
Now, in a one-on-one battle, the outcome would be the complete opposite!
"Although I can become stronger after being killed by you again, I don't want to suffer that kind of pain again! As long as I kill you, the rest will just be a mob. With This Marshal's present strength, I can finish them all! "
With this thought in mind, Field Marshal Awesomo no longer hesitated. He raised his battle ax and cleaved at Sunless!
"Go to hell!"
However, it was unknown if it was an illusion, but when Field Marshal Awesomo cleaved with his battle ax, he felt that the girl's speed was much faster than before!
But immediately following that, he felt a pain in his back, jolting him awake!
It was not an illusion. She had really become faster!
Upon realizing this, he was unable to respond in time. This was because another storm from the azure-dressed girl had begun!
And this time, it was even more violent and ferocious than the previous time!
This was no joke!
No matter how strong his regeneration ability was, it was not a true revival. He had only managed to stay alive despite his heart being pierced through due to his powerful vitality!
But at this moment in time, the girl in front of him was clearly planning on slashing him to pieces, making him deader than dead!
Field Marshal Awesomo was extremely alarmed, but he was helpless. All he could do was harden his fatal spots and crouch down to hug his head. He tried his best to reduce the surface area of his injuries before finding a way to counterattack.
However …
There was no way to counterattack. There was no way to counterattack at all!
It was too fast and too ferocious!
He had the illusion that he would be immediately killed if he acted rashly!
He had clearly become stronger, so why was he being suppressed one-sidedly?
Field Marshal Awesomo could not accept this reality, but he could only silently endure the pain of his body being constantly slashed open.
Thankfully, he had tried his best to protect his fatal spots. Furthermore, the regeneration ability that Her Excellency had bestowed upon him was indeed terrifying. He could recover from a wound in nearly a second!
Most importantly, those humans had yet to realize the true truth. In fact, there was no need for him to be fatally injured. As long as he was injured, he would become stronger!
Yes, that's right. As long as he suffered damage, his strength, defense and agility would constantly increase!
Until he could counterattack!
Yes, in theory, that was the case!
But why …
Why did he feel that the girl who was wreaking havoc on him was rapidly becoming stronger?
Was it an illusion?
No!
This was not an illusion!
She was really, really becoming stronger!
Furthermore, the speed at which she became stronger was in no way slower than him!
This was because from a moment ago, he could only defend. He did not even have the chance to counterattack. He could not find any chance to counterattack at all!
"Madman! She's a madman! "
Field Marshal Awesomo roared angrily and fearfully in his heart. He never expected that such a weak human could force him into such a state.
Not only was Field Marshal Awesomo dumbfounded, even the other rookies were dumbfounded.
As onlookers, they had a clear view of the battle. They could sense the killing intent and the crazy but firm will that Sunless emitted.
They could also sense that Sunless' speed was clearly increasing. Her sword attacks were also becoming more and more ferocious. It was as though thunder had suddenly resounded in a storm!
This time, it was no longer a suppression, but a one-sided slaughter!
Sunless' fighting style was just too ferocious. She constantly moved at high speeds and attacked from every direction. There was no way of knowing when or where she would appear. As such, the others had no way of intervening. All they could do was watch from afar with their mouths agape.
Mu Yuesheng exclaimed, "Sunless is actually that strong!"
Pulp Farmer shook his head. "No, the most ridiculous thing is the speed at which she improves …"
Feng Yuanlin muttered to himself, "Hey, even if it's the 'Power of Love', it shouldn't be this perverse, right? Her speed is increasing every second. This way of breaking through is like she has a cheat code. "
Liu Yu pondered for a long while before he suddenly sighed. He said, "It's not that her improvement speed is fast, but that she is that strong to begin with!"
Feng Yuanlin said in surprise, "She is that strong to begin with?"
Liu Yu nodded and said, "Everyone thinks that Sunless is very strong, but that's all. At the very least, she is still very far from Speechless. Even Sunless herself thinks so. However, that's not the case. Sunless possesses potential that even she herself did not realize. She has always mistaken 50% or even 30% of her strength as 100% of her strength. But when she needs strength, yearns for strength, and has to possess strength, she will dig out the remaining 70% of her strength that she did not realize she had. Therefore, instead of saying that she is constantly improving, it's better to say that she is finally forcing herself to reach her limits in order to save Shi Xiaobai. "
"Sunless is a genius in the truest sense of the word."
Liu Yu felt mixed emotions. He had previously heard of such geniuses in the truest sense of the word, but this was the first time he was seeing one.
Although Shi Xiaobai and Speechless were geniuses as well, they were only geniuses with extraordinary talent. Their perceptivity far exceeded the average person. Even though their talent had reached a hair-raising stage, their improvement still needed time to accumulate. They needed a gradual process.
However, a genius like Sunless usually did not realize how much potential she had. However, once she was forced into a corner, she would immediately produce strength that far exceeded her usual self. She possessed innate talent, a talent that she herself did not even know about.
In other words, Sunless possessed a treasure trove that could be dug out at any time. She was a genius in the truest sense of the word!
In the past, Sunless only had eyes for the sword. Her state of mind was nearly unperturbed.
But now, her eyes had an additional Shi Xiaobai. From the moment she fell in love with Shi Xiaobai, her heart began to truly beat!
At that moment, Shi Xiaobai was in danger. Every second could be the last second.
Therefore, to her, she did not want to waste a single second. In order to kill Field Marshal Awesomo as soon as possible, she finally began digging into her potential and approaching her limits!
A distance away, Speechless' eyes revealed a look of deep thought. A smile gradually suffused across his lips. "So there are hidden talents in China. Shi Xiaobai, Sunless. I thought it would be a boring selection, but I never expected to encounter two geniuses that can make This Emperor turn serious. It looks like this year's World Youth Tournament will be rather interesting. Even This Emperor can only stop at the top eight in the World Youth Tournament, so how far can they go? "
'Sadistic Killing' had already lasted for three minutes. Sunless did not show any signs of stopping. Field Marshal Awesomo did not seem to be able to find a chance to counterattack, but similarly, he was not killed. Although he was covered in injuries, he had barely protected his weak spots, allowing him to survive the pain.
Feng Yuanlin scratched the back of his head and said in frustration, "Why does Sunless look like she's constantly becoming stronger, but Field Marshal Awesomo's defense has yet to be completely destroyed?"
It was just a thoughtless remark from Feng Yuanlin, but the speaker had a hidden meaning behind it. Liu Yu's pupils violently constricted as cold sweat immediately seeped out of his forehead.
There was only one reason why Field Marshal Awesomo had not been defeated despite Sunless becoming stronger — Field Marshal Awesomo was also becoming stronger!
Why had he not discovered such a simple matter!?
Idiot, to think that you claim to be the smartest Daoist in the world!
You are really an idiot with a low IQ!
Liu Yu cursed himself in his heart as he frowned and began pondering.
"What a cunning Minotaur. He used an illusion to deceive me. But it's also my fault for being stupid. I did not realize that being injured would make me stronger. I subconsciously avoided such a ridiculous possibility, and subjectively believed that it needed a fatal injury to trigger it. I'm just too stupid. "
"No, now is not the time to blame myself. If Field Marshal Awesomo is also constantly becoming stronger, things will be terrible. No matter how much of a genius Sunless is, her potential has a limit. If her potential is dug to the limit, while Field Marshal Awesomo is constantly becoming stronger, the situation will eventually be reversed. When that happens, Sunless will be in danger! "
"But now, it's impossible for Sunless to stop. Even if she knows that she is in a dangerous situation, she will definitely disregard everything. To her, saving Shi Xiaobai is something that cannot be delayed. It's more important than her life. I can't stop her. "
"I can't stop her. I can only think of other solutions. I have to think of a way to completely kill Field Marshal Awesomo before Sunless is reversed!"
Liu Yu began surveying his surroundings as he tried hard to consider every possibility. He did not have the strength to reverse the situation. Furthermore, he had suffered a backlash from using the 'Divine Incantation of Heaven Earth'. However, he possessed intelligence that exceeded that of ordinary people. His only weapon now was his brain that was filled with knowledge.
Faster!
There was no more time!
He had to rack his brains to think!
Suddenly, Liu Yu's eyes that were searching his surroundings noticed a petite figure. A strange idea appeared in his mind like a flash of inspiration.
This idea was somewhat risky. Success or failure depended entirely on this person.
But with things having come to this, he could only trust her!
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He endured the pain in his body and ran in a particular direction as fast as he could.
"Miss Lengxi!"
The slim hope that Liu Yu saw was completely grasped in the hands of the silver-haired girl who wore glasses!
Mu Lengxi turned her head slightly to take a glance, but most of her attention was placed on Sunless. She was similarly extremely worried for Shi Xiaobai, but Sunless's close-combat style of constantly moving around in an irregular manner prevented her from intervening. All she could do was worry helplessly by the side.
As she could not speak, she could only use her eyes to gesture and ask Liu Yu what was the matter.
Liu Yu did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "If this carries on, Sunless might very well lose. However, if you can help Sunless and completely kill Field Marshal Awesomo, I'm not sure if you are willing to …"
Mu Lengxi had already turned her head around midway when she heard that. She used her fastest speed to nod her head a few times. Although she was unsure why Liu Yu would say that, she was willing to attempt it regardless of the effort she had to put in to help Sunless and kill Field Marshal Awesomo.
Liu Yu gave a satisfied smile. He had long noticed that Mu Lengxi had feelings for Shi Xiaobai. Although it was not as intense as Sunless', it was clearly impossible for him to sit idly by.
However, how far she could go for Shi Xiaobai would depend on how much weight Shi Xiaobai had in her heart.
Bro, it's time to show the fruits of your flirting.
Liu Yu quickly said, "According to This Penniless Priest's observation, when you helped restrain Field Marshal Awesomo, you used 'magic' that is about to be lost. First, This Penniless Priest has a few questions that needs to be clarified. Please answer truthfully."
Magic was a nearly lost technology in this era.
Thousands of years ago, the combat system of the human world could be said to be a contending school of thought. Magic, arcane techniques, ninjutsu, Daoist techniques, Buddhist Dharma, mechanical systems, psychokinesis systems … The combat methods of humans could be said to have a myriad of different styles.
But ever since Psionic Power was discovered and researched, with the initial construction of the Psionic Ability system, combat systems like magic and arcane techniques gradually revealed their flaws. As for the Psionic Ability system, it nearly perfectly filled the flaws of the various combat systems, approaching perfection. Furthermore, it had the greatest advantage of being easy to learn. Therefore, the Psionic Ability system gradually became mainstream.
When an extremely easy cultivation technique like 'Cogitation' appeared, it directly announced the complete decline of combat systems other than the Psionic Ability system!
Magic was one of the declining combat systems. Although magic could do many things that the Psionic Ability system could not, the flaws of magic were just too great. Using magic was extremely draining on one's mental strength. Most importantly, magic needed to be chanted to trigger. The stronger the magic, the longer the incantation.
In a high-level battle, a psionicist would be able to close the distance in a flash, but a Magician would need a long time to cast a threatening high-level spell.
The Psionic Ability system was not omnipotent, but it countered all other systems. Furthermore, it did not have any obvious natural enemies. Therefore, it had become mainstream in this present era.
However, no matter how much it declined, there were still some 'stubborn' groups that passed down other combat systems with great difficulty. The Daoist temple that Liu Yu resided in was one of the inheritors of the Daoist system. However, Daoists did not only cultivate Daoist techniques. Psionic Ability was also a compulsory subject.
When Liu Yu noticed that Mu Lengxi was using magic that was nearly lost, he was initially rather alarmed. This was because in an eastern country like China, the inheritance of magic was more difficult than Daoist techniques. Most Spellcasters were dabblers.
However, he immediately recalled that Mu Lengxi was Beijing's college entrance examination champion, a super rookie among super rookies. She was predicted to be second in the selection, one place higher than Sunless. Hence, he could only believe that Mu Lengxi was a genius among magic geniuses.
If not, using magic that was completely countered by the Psionic Ability system would be extremely difficult in this era where Psionites were ubiquitous.
The idea that Liu Yu came up with on a whim required the help of Mu Lengxi's magic. However, it was not easy because the prerequisite was that Mu Lengxi had to have extremely high attainments in magic.
However, he could only choose to believe in her. He believed that this beautiful girl had the strength to be worthy of the title of 'King of Super Rookies'.
Mu Lengxi nodded her head in agreement to Liu Yu's request.
Liu Yu immediately asked, "Do you know spatial magic?"
Mu Lengxi nodded without any hesitation.
Liu Yu asked once again, "Can you achieve spatial isolation? Can you isolate Field Marshal Awesomo in a cramped space? "
Mu Lengxi immediately nodded without any hesitation.
Liu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, but he still cautiously confirmed, "With Sunless moving so quickly and irregularly, is it really possible to accurately separate her from Field Marshal Awesomo and trap Field Marshal Awesomo in an independent space?"
Mu Lengxi nodded her head matter-of-factly. Her helpless eyes seemed to say, "Can you be more straightforward and not speak so much nonsense?"
Liu Yu secretly clicked his tongue. The King of Super Rookies was indeed worthy of her name.
However, with a cautious attitude, he immediately asked an extremely critical question. "Then, the last question. How long can you trap Field Marshal Awesomo?"
This question made Mu Lengxi ponder for a second. She measured her abilities and extended a finger.
Liu Yu said in surprise, "Just a minute?"
Trapping Field Marshal Awesomo for a minute was already considered excellent for a sorcerer at his age. However, trapping him for a minute was not enough!
Just as Liu Yu was feeling somewhat disappointed, Mu Lengxi shook her head in a speechless manner. She used a contemptuous look to express her speechlessness. Saying one minute was too belittling of her.
Liu Yu immediately said in pleasant surprise, "No way. Could it be an hour?"
Mu Lengxi shook her head and pouted her lips in a huff.
That appearance was simply adorable to the extreme.
However, Liu Yu only felt horror.
It was not a minute, nor was it an hour.
Could it be …
"One … one day?"
At the instant he said the word, Liu Yu wished he could slap himself.
How stupid was he to say it was one day?
'Spatial Isolation' was a sustained spell. It required constant injections of mental strength. With such a high level of expenditure and to ensure that Field Marshal Awesomo would not crack it, it would be heaven-defying to last for an hour.
To last for a day? Why don't you ascend to the heavens?
Liu Yu lampooned inwardly, but he saw Mu Lengxi slowly nod her head. Her adorable expression seemed to say: How stupid am I to only think of it now?
Liu Yu was dumbfounded and was momentarily at a loss for words.
Heh, this lass looks rather adorable, but he never expected her to enjoy bragging.
Liu Yu found it unbelievable, but he was at a loss for words. Although he did not know much about magic, he knew how ridiculous it was to continuously use a sustained spell for an hour. However, now was not the time to argue about it.
Indeed, the moment he fell into a daze, the silver-haired girl glared at him fiercely.
"Ahem, actually, it should be enough if it can last for ten minutes. Of course, it would be safer if it can last for an hour."
Liu Yu did not dare to waste any more time as he said, "Then, use your magic to isolate Field Marshal Awesomo now. A high-level spell like spatial isolation might take a little longer, so …"
Liu Yu was just about to say that he wished she could shorten the duration of the magic incantation, but just as he finished his sentence, he saw Mu Lengxi take out an ancient spellbook from her backpack and quickly flip it open.
At the instant the spellbook was flipped open, a six-pointed star formation bloomed on the spellbook like colorful flower petals.
Mu Lengxi extended her hand and pointed into the distance where the battle was taking place.
Liu Yu turned his head in disbelief and saw a colorful beam of light scatter. The sword that Sunless had brandished seemed to slash at a transparent wall as it was blocked.
And Field Marshal Awesomo, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to realize something. He suddenly raised his head and roared angrily. Suddenly, he raised his battle axe and slashed at the air, but midway, it was blocked by an invisible wall.
The invisible and transparent spatial wall only produced a brief ripple-like fluctuation.
Without a doubt, the scene in front of him was a phenomenon caused by 'spatial isolation'.
But, but … where's the magic incantation?
Mu Lengxi did not even open her mouth, much less her magic incantation!
Holy shit, does she not need to chant?
Furthermore, she instantly cast a high-level spell like 'spatial isolation'?
Is this fucking magic?
Can she still be called a Magician?
Eh, that's not right. Mu Lengxi … isn't she a mute?
Liu Yu finally thought of a fool's question that could be called a 'blind spot'. Since Mu Lengxi was a mute, how could she chant?
After all, this was a problem that he should have realized from the beginning!
Indeed, she did not chant?
However, wasn't a Magician that did not need to chant too much of a BUG?
Liu Yu's mind was filled with the words' holy shit '.
"Pa!"
Suddenly, he felt something hit his head and jolted Liu Yu awake. Only then did he realize that Mu Lengxi had smashed his head with a spellbook. At that moment, she looked anxious as she constantly pointed in Sunless' direction.
Only then did Liu Yu recall the matter at hand. When he turned his head, he saw that not only was Field Marshal Awesomo desperately attacking the spatial wall, even Sunless was attacking the spatial wall in a frenzy. She was clearly furious at the 'spatial isolation' that prevented her from killing Field Marshal Awesomo.
The spatial wall began to crack as though it was glass that would shatter at any moment. Clearly, it could not withstand the full force of the duo's attacks.
Mu Lengxi's expression appeared to be in pain, but her eyes were extremely stubborn. The spellbook in her hand emitted a resplendent light as it constantly repaired the spatial wall that was on the brink of shattering.
Liu Yu was given a fright as he hurriedly shouted, "Sunless, quickly stop! Field Marshal Awesomo has been isolated into an independent space. Quickly use your superpower and suck out all the air! Let him suffocate to death! "
This was the plan that Liu Yu came up with on a whim.
Sunless' superpower, 'Air Isolation', was actually of little use in battle. It could only suck out a small region's air. It was basically useless against an enemy that could move.
However, this move was the deadliest killer move against an enemy that could not move!
Regardless of how strong Field Marshal Awesomo's vitality and self-healing abilities were, it was impossible for him to survive without air! Although suffocating him to death would take a relatively long period of time, it was better than being unable to kill him, resulting in him constantly becoming stronger!
Sunless obviously understood this point. A look of indignation flashed in her eyes. If it was possible, she did not want Shi Xiaobai to take the risk for even a second. However, she had to admit that it was very likely that she would not be able to kill Field Marshal Awesomo. Liu Yu's decision was the best solution at present.
Sunless sighed and used 'Air Isolation' on the independent space that imprisoned Field Marshal Awesomo.
As such, it was like tossing a coin of fate. Field Marshal Awesomo would suffocate first or Shi Xiaobai would be killed by the 'God Slaughtering Formation'. The two outcomes were completely different fates.
And the only thing she could do now was to sincerely pray for him.
Sunless took a few steps back and lowered her head slightly. There was a hint of exhaustion in her eyes. The way she had suddenly quietened down was like a lotus quietly blooming. It was as though the 'lightning storm' from before was just a hallucination of the others.
Field Marshal Awesomo was no longer as calm as before after being isolated in a tiny vacuum. The light green skin on his face gradually turned purple with the passage of time. He took in deep breaths of the non-existent space as his eyes slowly turned white. He brandished his battle axe to attack the spatial wall with a ferocious look as he struggled with all his might.
The spatial wall constantly cracked as though it was on the brink of shattering. However, it managed to withstand Field Marshal Awesomo's counterattack before his death. Furthermore, it was constantly being repaired by the power of magic, forming a perfect balance with the degree of damage it had suffered.
Liu Yu was extremely astounded. Field Marshal Awesomo, who had been constantly 'slaughtered' by Heartless, was much stronger than before. It had already exceeded his expectations. However, the silver-haired girl beside him had perfectly completed her mission. She had used her outstanding performance to respond to his extremely risky plan that could not be wrong at all.
She was fully deserving of the title of Queen of Supernovas.
However, the biggest problem now was whether she could last until the moment Field Marshal Awesomo died for good.
Liu Yu turned his head to take a glance. Mu Lengxi's forehead was already covered in sweat. Clearly, it was not an easy task to constantly repair the spatial wall. However, her expression remained calm and composed. The claim that she could last an entire day did not seem like a mere boast.
A Spellcaster that did not need any magical chants, with extremely precise magical control, as well as unbelievable magical and mental strength. This girl was like a fallen god of magic, a miracle bestowed upon the mortal world!
"All the best."
Liu Yu sighed inwardly.
I'm truly sorry for placing the heaviest burden on you. But now, the coin of victory is in your hands!
