Cowardly Little Lin Yu

"Sigh, I just saw you were playing so hard, so I wanted to give you a little sense of accomplishment."

The moment a drop of blood fell to the ground, Lin Yu activated Powerful Healing Technique, instantly healing the wound on his face.

"See, it's gone now?"

Are you angry? Are you angry? Are you angry?

Yuno was not far away, almost laughed so hard that she spat out another mouthful of bits of her own internal organs as she watched Lin Yu calmly say these words.

Senior... Haha, I never expected him to have such a quirky side.

From the beginning of the battle until now, it seems like the blue-haired guy is chasing after his senior with energy balls, and the senior can't fight back.

However, from the beginning until now, the senior has consumed some physical strength and Honkai Energy.

The opposing side not only expended a lot of stamina, but their Honkai Energy also appeared to be completely depleted.

Even disregarding the difference in their mental states, if the senior were to suddenly launch a direct and forceful attack, he could probably win easily.

Hmm, so this is the art of language...?

I feel like I might need to ask my seniors for some practical tips on this topic in the future.

As for the Joyce Clone standing in front of Lin Yu, upon hearing Lin Yu's words, it felt as if the last thread of rationality in its mind had snapped completely.

He had finally managed to inflict damage on the enemy, and he thought this was the beginning of his counterattack.

However, after he saw a glimmer of hope, Lin Yu immediately told him—hey, I was just kidding.

Are you angry or not?

Honestly, even knowing it was a provocation from the enemy, he was already furious.

"You, you, you—you die!"

Seeing everything around his opponent begin to float up, clearly indicating that he was about to unleash a powerful attack, Lin Yu felt no panic whatsoever.

After all, he had anticipated the other party's desperate actions when he was making his plans.

"Ha, First Herrscher, you seem to be in a hurry."

"But if I remember correctly, Gravity Manipulation is not a power held by the First Herrscher."

"You clearly have other powers, yet you insist on using Gravity Manipulation to randomly bombard me. I mean..."

"—The First Herrscher, is she actually an idiot?"

"Heh, you're right. The power of the First Herrscher is indeed not limited to Gravity Manipulation."

At this moment, the Joyce Clone, which had floated in mid-air, took over Lin Yu's words with a cold smile.

"Manipulating gravity is merely one manifestation of my ability; my true ability is..."

However, Joyce Clone, who wanted to continue speaking, suddenly realized that he had no idea what the 'First Herrscher's' true abilities were.

What exactly is my ability?

For him, it was just a momentary lapse in concentration.

But for Lin Yu, who knew the script and had been laying the groundwork for this moment...

"There's a flaw."

Even a momentary flaw is enough.

This time, in order to unleash the Joyce Clone's ultimate attack, the Imaginary Shield's power supply was interrupted, and all energy was used for the attack.

However, at this moment, he was caught in self-doubt because of Lin Yu's previous words.

In addition, his physical strength has been significantly reduced by Lin Yu. In other words, although the Joyce Clone has reached its limit in terms of offensive destructive power, its defensive strength has also dropped to rock bottom.

Faced with an enemy whose spirit has fallen into self-doubt, Lin Yu's task, of course, is...

—Aim the Phantasm Lantern Barrier directly at his head and deliver a vicious blow to his head!

Lin Yu had been looking for an opportunity to use the Phantasm Lantern Barrier since before.

If the opportunity isn't ripe, even if he uses the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to control the enemy, he might not be able to deal enough damage in time.

Even if the enemy is inside the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, if they are awakened by Lin Yu's attack and the external stimuli startle them, they will definitely be wary of the Phantasm Lantern Barrier in the subsequent battle.

Therefore, if he didn't want to waste the opportunity brought by the first encounter with the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, Lin Yu could only choose a better time more carefully.

And now, the opportunity has arrived.

Lin Yu, who had been frantically pouring his power into the Tai Xu Grip, stomped hard on the ground and charged towards the Joyce Clone.

The gravity around Joyce Clone was indeed more abnormal than in other areas, but in order to complete this strongest and most lethal attack, he had concentrated his power in his right hand.

Normal gravity pressure, several times greater than normal, is obviously not a big problem for Lin Yu now.

In the previous battles, Lin Yu had already accumulated a lot of power through the Royal Guard.

This time, while channeling his power into the Tai Xu Grip, Lin Yu also performed another action.

The instant he unleashed that punch, Lin Yu attached the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to the outside of the Tai Xu Grip.

"Slideshow - Explosive Fist!"

With a single punch, Lin Yu's fist struck the opponent's head directly.

Joyce Clone, whose brain had been struck by Lin Yu, was instantly awakened by the intense pain.

However, after he was awakened, this previously arrogant Simulated Herrscher discovered something in utter horror.

The energy level within me is rapidly decreasing!

No, it's not just the energy intensity, but also my body control, and even my consciousness...

What exactly happened...?

The Simulated Herrscher, who should have fought to the death, gradually went blank after being hit by this punch.

Unable to control his body, he naturally couldn't manipulate his powers as skillfully as before to launch an attack.

After the Honkai Energy in his hands dissipated, this Simulated Herrscher, who had actually achieved nothing, collapsed to the ground, losing his last ability to fight.

"Battle over."

Looking at the enemy in front of him, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The Hai Hu Explosive Fist, a move created by Bai Junlang, Magnetic Field Expert, has actually been further developed in subsequent works to showcase its powerful versatility.

In the subsequent history of the magnetic field, many powerful figures, including Bai Junlang, relied on the versatility of the Explosive Fist to combine other moves with it, forming new moves.

The Phantasm Lantern Blast Fist that Lin Yu just used is essentially a variant of the Hai Hu Explosive Fist.

Attach the Phantasm Lantern Barrier to your fist, and then use the explosive properties of the Hai Hu Explosive Fist to blast the power of the Phantasm Lantern Barrier into the enemy's body.

Then, the power of the Phantasm Lantern Barrier explodes inside the enemy's body, directly weakening the enemy's biological functions from within, thus weakening their control over their body, ultimately causing the enemy to completely lose control of their body.

As for why Lin Yu suddenly thought of creating this move, to put it bluntly—although the Joyce Clone was bullied so badly by him, this person is undoubtedly a strong one.

It is actually quite terrifying for a strong person to launch a desperate counterattack after being bullied for so long.

As a cowardly nobody, Lin Yu would definitely try to minimize the danger posed by the enemy.

He was forced to fight Chiyou before, but now that he has the chance to fight without injury, and he's not out of his mind, why would he risk his life like that?

Otherwise, if he had confronted the enemy head-on, he could have defeated them much sooner, even at the risk of taking some risks.

As for what to do with the Joyce Clone are now completely powerless...

Looking at the man who was still alive, Lin Yu hesitated for a moment before stomping on his throat and breaking it.

This is the second time in the forty days since he traveled to the present that he has attempted to take someone else's life.

The last time he did this was when he was facing Ji Lin, and he chose to finish him off.

It's astonishing how easily humans can get used to things.

But now, he has no time to continue being sad.

After casually extracting the Simulated Herrscher Core that had already formed within the other party's body, Lin Yu quickly walked to Yuno's side and directly used Powerful Healing Technique on the severely injured Yuno.

"Ha... I'm alive again."

Feeling that her internal injuries had improved considerably, Yuno ignored Lin Yu's outstretched hand and used her arms to support herself as she got up from the ground.

"Senior, although I am very grateful for your rescue, I will not be so delicate after my injuries heal."

"... That makes sense."

Seeing the expression on Yuno's face, Lin Yu didn't say anything more.

After their conversation in the Commercial Street, although Lin Yu didn't completely resolve Yuno's inner issues, she clearly became much stronger afterward.

Even though he knew that Yuno was putting on a brave face, Lin Yu didn't want to disturb her current mental state.

For Yuno, words of comfort were unnecessary.

Sigh, at the time, we chose this desperate measure because we wanted to at least prevent her from committing suicide.

But now, even though Yuno has gradually grown into an outstanding Valkyrie, I feel like something is getting off her more and more.

"Moreover, you should contact Himeko- sensei and Principal Theresa, rather than me."

Standing there, suppressing her Yuno recalled the events of the day and spoke to Lin Yu in a very serious tone.

"The enemy has even dispatched a fighter of the level of Simulated Herrscher this time, so they are definitely not just here to cause trouble on our side."

"If I'm not mistaken, I, this Simulated Herrscher, am not their target at all."

"Their real target is either the leader of the Far East Branch or what we brought back from the Nine Nether."

Chapter 129. Lin Yu Who Prefers Life to Death

In a small grove of trees at the St. Freya Academy, Fu Hua watched as the corpse in front of her began to 'melt' suddenly, and at that moment she removed her [Shadow Knight: Moon Wheel] outfit.

Then, Fu Hua, having removed her clothing, suddenly knelt on the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and turned extremely pale.

"Damn it... my body..."

After wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, Fu Hua leaned against a large tree and began to gasp for fresh air.

If Fu Hua hadn't suffered such severe injuries in the past, she certainly wouldn't have met such a miserable end against the Simulated Herrscher.

Even without using Feathered Dust, she could easily kill an opponent of this caliber.

However, times have changed, and the once invincible Crimson Heron Immortal no longer possesses the same power as before.

This man, who calls himself the First Herrscher, can manipulate gravity, and the highest gravity he can manipulate is a hundred times greater.

If she only used the strength that an 'A-rank Valkyrie' should have, Fu Hua was certain that she would not be able to defeat her.

So Fu Hua made her move.

She was a spy sent by Otto to the Far East Branch, so of course she knew exactly where the surveillance cameras were located within the St. Freya Academy.

Fu Hua cannot reveal her full strength to Theresa and the others for the time being, so she chose to take advantage of an enemy attack to have herself 'blown away' into a grove of trees without surveillance cameras.

The imposter who called himself the "First Herrscher" clearly lacked the intelligence expected of First Herrscher.

After seeing Fu Hua get knocked into the woods, he mindlessly chased after her, and then...

—After Fu Hua activated Feathered Dust on the spot, he was brutally beaten while wearing Moon Wheel, and Fu Hua broke his neck and blew up his heart in an instant.

However, such efficient combat operations do not come without a price.

Although Fu Hua intentionally got hit, she still had to take the damage.

In addition, every time she uses Feathered Dust, her injuries worsen. After this combo, Fu Hua felt that her body had become significantly weaker than before.

However, she doesn't have much time to rest now.

On her way back to the dormitory, she would encounter a Simulated Herrscher who would come out and kill people.

This clearly means that there must be more than one enemy within the St. Freya Academy.

Moreover, the fact that this Simulated Herrscher's body is now melting clearly indicates to Fu Hua that this blue-haired youth is not a cadre, but rather a 'discardable vanguard'.

An organization that would treat such a powerful Simulated Herrscher as a disposable pawn...
