Chapter 466 Crushing
"Is there any way to save her?" Xu Si hesitated for a moment before asking again. He had too many questions today.
"Maybe, but I don't know." Wan Liuchun spread her hands, indicating that she was powerless to help.
Thus, the most bizarre team in the apocalypse was formed, consisting of three members: a human, an elf, and a mysterious being.
"Where are we going now?" Wan Liuchun asked again, her tone filled with barely suppressed excitement.
She has been imprisoned in this city for far too long.
If it weren't for Fan Wanwan's appearance, she probably wouldn't have been able to escape her misery.
Now she can travel the world. How long has it been since she felt this way?
Standing under the open sky, the morning breeze rushed in from all directions, blowing her skirt and long hair. The feeling of freedom made her almost want to scream.
Xu Si looked up at the blood-red sun on the horizon.
"Head north."
What's to the north?
"Something's fishy!"
"You mean the Sword Demon? Aren't you just going to your death?"
"Oh? You know?" Xu Si was a little surprised.
Although he sensed a powerful energy fluctuation in the north through the "Star Mirror," he did not know the specific type of strange energy.
Unexpectedly, the words "want to stay" came out of his mouth.
His goal was simple: since retaining Chun hadn't served its purpose of practice, Xu Si needed to find someone else.
Wanliuchun paused for a moment, then smiled.
"The Sword Demon Clan are born sword masters. With your skills, you'd better not go and throw your life away!" Wan Liuchun clearly didn't think highly of Xu Si.
"How does he compare to you?" Xu Si asked.
"Of course, they are far inferior to me!" Wan Liuchun said with rare pride.
"Then let's go!"
Now that he has Wanliuchun as his bodyguard, Xu Si naturally wants to make full use of her.
He refused to believe that Wan Liuchun wouldn't save him at the crucial moment.
Moreover, he has quite a few ways to protect himself now, unless it's a strange thing like the Obsessive Heart Demon that is more effective at restraining him.
He was confident that he could fight against most strange and unusual creatures.
The morning breeze swept across the sky, dispelling the last traces of gunpowder smoke.
Xu Si did not look in the direction of Jiangcheng again.
That city holds too many things buried.
His gaze turned north.
The blood-red sun on the horizon was slowly rising, turning the gray-white clouds into a vibrant orange-red.
In the morning light, the northern land revealed its blurred outline, with mountains, hills, and ruins layered upon each other, like a painting that had been torn apart and pieced back together.
Xu Si rarely views the world from this perspective.
Only now did he truly understand what it meant for the country to be shattered.
Wanliuchun was even more interested than him. Instead of hiding back in the Black Tower, she sat directly on the edge of the Nirvana Great Sword and looked at the scenery below with great interest.
The great sword sliced through the sky and flew northward.
The urban area of Jiangcheng beneath my feet rapidly shrank in my field of vision. The outlines of those tall buildings changed from three-dimensional to two-dimensional, from two-dimensional to lines, and finally turned into a small gray patch in my field of vision.
Wanliuchun turned around and glanced back.
For a moment, her expression was dazed.
The cage that had imprisoned her for countless years finally disappeared from her sight.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Xu Si asked tentatively.
He knew all about the limitations of these strange phenomena, but it was too late to say anything now.
"That lousy flower can squeeze through? What's wrong with me squeezing through?" Wan Liuchun was clearly very unhappy, but she didn't say anything more.
It's clearly still a taboo subject. While people may be unhappy about the unknown, they should still show the respect they deserve.
The great sword that Nirvana transformed into pierced through the clouds, its dark red blade appearing and disappearing among the gray-white wisps of cloud, like a luminous fish swimming in the deep sea.
Xu Si sat cross-legged on the front of the sword, with the [Sword of Royal Power] lying across his lap. Ever since he learned that Jian Gui was a swordsman, he had become more cautious about it.
Strictly speaking, he also uses a sword, although he is somewhat unworthy of the name, but isn't that what training is all about?
Fortunately, after advancing to Sequence 7, his development of Star Evolution was further enhanced. Coupled with the mental influence of the Obsessive Ghost, he was even able to customize simulated battle illusions.
The Black Tower provides the best platform for illusory battles.
This made him feel that his strength was improving rapidly, and his rank was gradually stabilized as a result.
"You lost again."
The voice trying to hold onto spring came from the depths of her consciousness, carrying a hint of lazy mockery.
The illusion created by the black building receded like the tide, and Xu Si opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
In the simulated battle just now, he was fighting against a fictional level seven monster, whose characteristics were extreme speed and penetrating attacks.
He lasted less than two minutes.
"Who has that kind of speed?" Xu Si frowned.
Reflecting on the battle, he felt like he was being kicked around by light. If it weren't for Wanliuchun wanting to play a few more rounds with him, he probably would have been finished off with a single blow.
"I know of at least three!" This was one of the few moments of amusement that Wanliuchun had.
"And it's not a matter of speed." Wan Liuchun was unusually serious.
"Your combat mindset is still at a human level. You always think about using sequences to suppress your opponents. But higher sequences represent another level of life. Don't you feel that your sequence has already become one with you?"
"Only when you understand this principle will you have truly mastered the power of the higher ranks!"
In fact, I have a newfound respect for Xu Si. To leap from one level of life to another is not something that can be mastered simply by talking about it.
Even the most talented races need to become familiar with this kind of leap.
This leap in life level sometimes completely contradicts any previous understanding.
How can it be something that one can simply grasp at will?
"Does Sister Chun have any tips or techniques to teach me?" Xu Si asked sincerely.
"Skills...? You humans are always looking for shortcuts, but unfortunately, you don't have any! Once you master them, you'll know how to advance to Sequence 8!"
When the sun was high in the sky, Xu Si had already finished his sixth simulated battle.
Six consecutive losses.
Wanliuchun seemed to have gotten addicted to the game, giving him different types of opponents each time—speed type, strength type, mental type, poison type, curse type, and even a mirror image ghost that mimicked his appearance.
Every time it was a crushing defeat without any suspense, and every time they casually withdrew at the last moment.
Whether facing the strange creatures that were restrained or restrained, Xu Si was defeated without exception.
"You did this on purpose." Xu Si opened his eyes, his tone calm, even he felt an unprecedented blow.
This led him to an unprecedented misjudgment of Wanliuchun's abilities.
There are two main reasons why Xu Si lost so badly. First, it was the difference in strength between him and Wan Liuchun. Second, the battle took place in the Black Building.
This gave Wan Liuchun the opportunity to pull strings. Xu Si's strength in the Black Building was reduced by one level, while Wan Liuchun was like returning home, and his strength increased by more than 10%.
That's why Xu Si was constantly being crushed.
However, this abnormal experience also gave Xu Si a lot of experience in fighting enemies.
