Kiana Sweating Profusely (Continued)

This is an unremarkable street-side house, a quaint two-story wooden house with a small courtyard full of flowers, quiet and elegant.

Cheng Lingshuang has been living here for several months.

After arriving in the interstellar universe, Anqi Faction, as usual, split into countless forms, each exploring their own path. They embarked on different destinies, experiencing the characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of each path, and seeking development in the Path Power.

But Cheng Lingshuang Anqi are different; they want to take a different path.

To date, the Anqi Faction have secretly ruled over many worlds.

Their ability to travel through countless worlds is primarily due to their Dominion Authority over thousands of individuals. However, there is another universal asset that, despite its indispensable role, has been habitually overlooked—their unparalleled martial arts cultivation.

The power of martial arts is a fundamental kind of power. In short, extraordinary martial arts skills allow Anqi Faction to control unfamiliar energies at the fastest speed.

From the initial Honkai Energy to the Elemental Power of the Teyvat world, and then to the Path Power of the Interstellar World, the Anqi Faction were able to adapt quickly and soon demonstrate extraordinary power. All of this relied on their understanding of the body, energy, and skills—what is known as martial arts prowess.

Cheng Lingshuang Anqi believed that since they had already absorbed the essence of martial arts from multiple worlds, and different Anqi individuals had innovated and created many profound martial arts techniques, it was time to integrate these experiences.

While the other Anqi Faction pursued the power of destiny, she pursued the sublimation of martial arts.

Specifically, she wanted to sort out the essence of the martial arts accumulated by Anqi Faction, to distinguish the true from the false, and to integrate her own various martial arts skills to condense into the ultimate and perfect sword technique.

Once achieved, the martial arts realm of the Anqi Faction will reach new heights. This will not only benefit the current Anqi Faction, but also give every future new clone a higher starting point. In the long run, its value is limitless.

' Cheng Lingshuang, the fifth senior sister I've never met, is a genius who easily broke through to the Sword God realm. Leaving aside other aspects, her martial arts talent is overwhelmingly powerful. I borrowed her image from an ancient painting, hoping to absorb some of her martial arts luck for good fortune.'

[That doesn't matter. In short, from the moment you made this decision, among the Star Anqi Faction, your importance is second only to Ninti, who has received the most resources. The same applies to Amon's matter; you should observe when necessary and intervene when needed. Even if she perishes on the Xianzhou, it cannot interrupt your path to enlightenment.]

[Agree.]

[Seconded.]

'Of course I understand.'

Cheng Lingshuang nodded slightly, acknowledging the judgment of the other clones.

At the same time, she looked at her slender, white fingers, savoring the memory of that sword strike.

I felt like I hadn't had enough.

It also feels too much like a craftsman's work.

In short, this is a little bit lacking, and that is a little bit lacking.

In summary, she was not so far from achieving the perfect sword strike that represented the pinnacle of her skill as she envisioned; rather, she was completely off track.

"It's not that easy after all."

Cheng Lingshuang sighed, but she wasn't anxious.

Anqi Faction's time is already infinite.

She has plenty of time to think things through and process them gradually. For now, living her life well and maintaining a calm and unhurried state of mind is progress itself.

"To be honest, I don't need to hide my strength much. Given this, how many of my sword strikes could the Great Extinguisher withstand?"

[You want to use Phantylia Emptiness as a test subject?]

[It's not a bad idea. After all, he's a well-established Destruction Emanator; his skill level should be quite high among Emanator. He'd be a good whetstone.]

[Okay, have Amon Angel keep an eye out and give you a suitable opportunity to attack.]

"Then it's settled. It's late, I need to go to bed. Goodnight everyone."

Angie received a series of "goodnight" replies online.

Cheng Lingshuang went inside and soon fell asleep peacefully.

Xianzhou is a good place.

One of the top powers in the universe, with incredibly advanced technology, and capable of exchanging various kinds of information between stars.

On this basis, their 8,000-year history has allowed them to long since move beyond the stage of conflict between ancient culture and emerging technology, achieving a harmonious integration.

This is precisely a model for Earth's civilization to learn from.

Living in a place like this gives you the feeling of traveling back to Shenzhou in the interstellar era.

"Momo Roll, delicious Momo Roll ~"

"Qiongshi Bird Skewer, delicious and inexpensive!"

In the afternoon, the rhythmic shouts of shopkeepers could be heard from the streets.

Cheng Lingshuang usually spends her mornings weaving and her afternoons strolling around on the Xianzhou, and this is her leisure time. She stops at a busy crossroads, her head bowed in thought.

A moment later, she randomly chose a direction and continued to wander aimlessly.

On the road, a little radish-head suddenly jumped out.

"Want to play chess? The loser buys tea."

"... How old are you, sir?"

"With three hundred years of chess experience, he is known in the chess world as the Luofu Chess Saint. If you're afraid, you can simply not play."

"That's interesting."

Cheng Lingshuang's lips curled up.

With my thousands of thought processes among the Anqi Faction, do you think I'm afraid of a short, clumsy chess player from the Immortal Xianzhou?

An hour later, Little Radish was carrying a pile of milk tea that he could barely hold.

"Let's call it a day. If it keeps going like this, I won't be able to finish collecting them."

"... Continue tomorrow?"

"Can!"

"Please."

Cheng Lingshuang watched the little radish head leave with a look of respect.

There are truly many hidden talents among ordinary people!

However, Cheng Lingshuang believes that her main reason for defeat was:

[No time, busy.]

Who is this kid? Does he think he's worthy of our cooperation?

[If I don't do it, I'll lower my status!]

Just as she was complaining about the lack of unity among the Anqi Faction, General Luofu, who had appeared out of nowhere, sat down opposite her with a smile.

With the intention of making a little money, he said in a kind tone:

"Want to play chess? One game costs the price of a cup of milk tea."

"Please."

Cheng Lingshuang replied seriously.

I, the mighty Martial God of the Void, have never once uttered the word "retreat" in my life.

Most importantly, Anqi Network is now online!

An hour later, Cheng Lingshuang put the money she had paid for the milk tea back into her purse.

Jing Yuan's smile froze, and his lips twitched as he said:

"... Continue tomorrow?"

"Can."

Having recouped her Cheng Lingshuang left with a nonchalant and carefree air.

The next afternoon.

Chess Master: I've had enough milk tea, I'm leaving.

Cheng Lingshuang: I've recouped my money on the milk tea, I'm leaving.

Jing Yuan: Let's fight again tomorrow!

On the third day, the same place, the same people, and the same plot.

The young chess master, whose age is unknown, has achieved the freedom to enjoy bubble tea.

Cheng Lingshuang challenged the chess master on her own while also winning back her milk tea money through Anqi Network.

In this win-win situation, only the unparalleled General Jing Yuan lost his temper.

The fourth, fifth, and sixth days all saw similar developments.

On the seventh day, the situation finally changed.

"Good heavens, it's a 50/50 chance. You've improved rapidly these past few days!"

"I am very grateful for the guidance of the chess master."

"Sigh, I have nothing more to teach you. I won't be coming tomorrow."

"Until we meet again, Master Chess."

With respect, Cheng Lingshuang saw off the little boy who had helped her hone her chess skills.

Then came General Jing Yuan, whose hair was somewhat disheveled.

Cheng Lingshuang looked at his slightly reddened eyes with pity and said:

"We didn't spend much money today, so let's just play chess."

"No way! I brought all my apprentice's allowance! Same old rules, one game for the price of a cup of milk tea!"

"... Since you insist, then so be it."

Cheng Lingshuang sighed with a sense of sorrow and compassion.

However, since it concerned her own interests, Cheng Lingshuang did not intend to show mercy, even if she felt sympathy.

The dark and ruthless villain has no reason to give up the benefits that are handed to him.

Thus, Anqi Network cheating system was launched in full force.

An hour later, Cheng Lingshuang put the full purse back into her sleeve.

"I've had enough of chess. I have an appointment with a friend to play Emperor's Jade Tablet tomorrow, so I won't be coming."

"Then, the day after tomorrow?"

"Can."

"I will prepare the chips, sir. See you the day after tomorrow!"

Jing Yuan left in a huff, pondering all the way who else he could get some gambling money from.

Then, Fu Xuan, with a dark expression, blocked him at the entrance of the General's Mansion of the Divine Might.

"General, didn't you volunteer to test that person's stance? Now that you've lost seven consecutive days of chess, how has the test gone?"

"... a perfect natural talent, a sword unparalleled in the world."

"That was my conclusion seven days ago. What about the general's conclusion? Have you found out any specific information?"

"..."

Jing Yuan's lips trembled, and after a long silence, he confidently said:

"The so-called chess etiquette reflects one's character, and making friends through chess is also an effective way of communication."

"Okay, go on."

Fu Xuan stared at Jing Yuan with a cold, indifferent look that seemed to say, "I'm listening, keep making things up."

Jing Yuan coughed lightly and said in a serious tone:

"Ahem! This Miss Ling Shuang's chess style is upright and honorable, using the overall momentum to control the whole game, never resorting to strange tricks or unorthodox methods. Judging from this... I don't think she's some kind of evil person. We can't just label her an accomplice of the enemy because of a slight coincidence in timing, can we, Fu Qing?"

"I haven't figured out much either. She hasn't been on the Xianzhou for long, and there's very little information about her. But based on the intelligence we have so far, she shouldn't be an enemy of the Xianzhou."
