Chapter 147

He deeply suspected that the Hyperdimensional Space was targeting him from time to time.

Elysia immediately started counting on her fingers, then looked up at Bai Yan with a determined look and said, "Since it's Fu Yan's invitation, I can't show weakness!"

"Then it's a deal."

Volume 1: Chapter 165: Let's see which side is truly Beauty.

The two players immediately got into the game as soon as they stepped onto the court.

Kiana immediately activated her Herrscher Armor, while Kevin also activated Phoenix Incineration without hesitation.

Seeing this, Bai Yan silently deployed an invisible barrier once again.

In fact, even the two people fighting each other have no concrete idea of their own destructive power.

In just a moment, the ground at the site had sunk more than ten meters.

If Bai Yan hadn't made a move, that force would have hit the audience.

Nevertheless, many viewers were already experiencing an adrenaline rush and were extremely excited, feeling as if they were in a completely different world from the people on the field.

Cosmo stared blankly at the battlefield where ice and fire intertwined.

"Oh! Kevin actually blocked it!" Elysia exclaimed in admiration as she looked at the scene.

The flaming greatswords clashed against each other, occasionally punctuated by collisions of freezing air.

Surrounded by an invisible barrier, an energy storm swept up from the center and exploded in front of the two.

Both sides retreated in unison, their faces filled with fighting spirit.

"They seem to be evenly matched," Dr. MEI commented.

"It's a pity. If Kiana can only fight in this way, then that's true. Kevin is even better."

What does this mean?

"Looks like there's no need for explanation, just watch it yourself."

Dr. MEI glanced at him and was immediately taken aback.

Kiana appeared and disappeared across the vast arena, launching sudden attacks from all sorts of unexpected directions, catching Kevin off guard as he was witnessing such a scene for the first time.

"That power..."

"Space," Bai Yan said softly.

Dr. MEI didn't speak, but just stared at the scene, her gaze fixed on Kiana.

Flames, space, and the occasional, subtle, strange flow...

Instead of drawing a conclusion immediately, she got up and went to the competition recording team's location.

These people were the staff arranged by Dr. MEI, and they mainly came from the laboratory she was in charge of.

"Was it all recorded?"

"Yes, Doctor. Do you need to retrieve a clip?"

"Yes, make a copy of this section from three minutes ago to now, right away."

"Yes!"

A moment later, Dr. MEI returned to Bai Yan's side with the tablet and watched the screen repeatedly.

The battle continued, and as Kevin gradually figured out Kiana's attack patterns, the disadvantage was gradually reversed.

However, he discovered that the other party's power still seemed to be above his own.

Kiana was also silently sensing the power belonging to the Flame Chaser.

"If it were Bronya and the others, they might not be a match for Kevin at all. The Flame Chaser from the Pre-Civilization are actually this powerful!"

She has four cores and has been through many battles, both large and small.

At this moment, although Kevin is already one of the best among the Flame Chaser, he is still unable to fight against the Herrscher of Flamescion before he fully masters the Collapse Form.

After figuring out her opponent's maximum strength, Kiana didn't delay any longer and went all out to win the match.

Kevin chose to make a final desperate attempt, but after only a brief moment of excitement, he was still defeated.

This may be his last real defeat...

"It still doesn't work," Kevin chuckled, scratching his head before asking in confusion, "But why were you able to suddenly disappear just now?"

"Uh, well..." Kiana felt a little awkward and didn't know how to explain.

In the stands, Dr. MEI turned off the screen.

Her chest rose and fell slightly, her expression remained unchanged, but her mind was racing.

After a moment, she turned to Bai Yan: "Do you think there is an optimal solution for the combination of Honkai Beast Genes to further enhance the abilities of the Flame Chaser?"

"... probably, since human inventions often stem from a variety of biological characteristics."

Bai Yan didn't follow her line of thought, but still subconsciously responded.

Dr. MEI then asked, "Flame Chaser haven't reached their limit yet. If they continue on this path, how far do you think they can go?"

At that moment, Bai Yan realized that something was wrong with her.

It seems there must be a new research approach.

She had an inspiration.

I have to help her out.

"Be bold. Every Flame Chaser has their own path, based on both human characteristics and the characteristics of fused Honkai Beast. Continuing forward is inevitable, but how far they can go, I think, depends on whether it is a path that belongs to that person."

Upon hearing this, Dr. MEI nodded somewhat absentmindedly.

She pondered for a long time, until Kevin and Kiana walked over to the group, and only then did she snap out of her mental trance.

"Well played, Kevin." She smiled slightly at Kevin.

Kevin was a little embarrassed. "May, you don't need to comfort me. Actually, I had a feeling before the fight even started..."

"It's okay, I'll find a way to help you become stronger later."

"Hehe, thank you then, Mei."

Elysia watched the entire match and didn't even have time to chat with anyone.

As soon as Kiana returned, she happily ran over to congratulate her, and openly expressed how much she liked Kiana's fighting spirit just now, saying it was just too beautiful.

"I'm so happy to finally see Kiana's battle form in person!"

"No, no, hehe..."

The match ended temporarily, Bai Yan removed the barriers, and only then did the construction team come forward to clean up the mess on the battlefield.

During this time, Bai Yan and Elysia went to the rest room to prepare for the match.

The construction was completed quickly, and the stadium was almost fully restored in no time.

Desdmona ran quickly onto the stage, gripping the microphone with great excitement. Especially when the two competitors entered the stage, the massive cheers almost drowned out the sound from the loudspeaker.

As the piercing sound of the horn swept across the entire venue, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Bai Yan in the center of the field, holding a standard-issue greatsword.

This time, he was missing one earring.

Kiana, standing in the stands, asked with some confusion, "Why do I feel like Fu Yan isn't as scary as she seems today?"

Kevin was separated from her by Dr. MEI, nodded and said, "I think so too. Could it be that the power was deliberately suppressed? There really is an aftereffect..."

Dr. MEI explained, "She just made a deal with Elysia to fight her using less than half her power and without using Guarding Art. If Elysia wins, she'll tell her a secret."

The two understood, and then became curious about what the so-called secret was.

Dr. MEI shook her head and did not speak.

The match began, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Elysia drew her bow and shot.

"I won't hold back!"

"Then I must remind you, if you don't attack seriously, you'll make a fool of yourself."

"Hmph, I'll show you my strength now!"

The bowstring twanged as soon as he finished speaking.

In an instant, a rain of icy arrows whistled down, enveloping Bai Yan and threatening to turn his opponent into a hedgehog at any moment.

Boom!

Bai Yan's body suddenly emitted wisps of intense flames, and the fiery red light gently enveloped his body like a light veil.

The next moment, he drew his sword.

The heavy Soul Steel Greatsword seemed as light as a feather at this moment, its afterimages flashing freely.

The clanging sounds were incessant as endless rain of icy arrows was continuously struck down.

Gradually, a perfectly round vacuum zone of icy arrows appeared, centered on Bai Yan's position.

The outside is like an arrow piercing the ground, while the inside resembles an absolute defensive circle.

As the rain of arrows ceased, the beautiful woman danced with her sword, standing amidst the icy forest of arrows.

Volume 1: Chapter 166: Releasing Water and Pardo's Communication

There was no outburst of supernatural abilities, only unparalleled swordsmanship.

Bai Yan blocked all of Elysia's attacks and stood calmly in place.

"Are you ready? The archer's worst fear is about to happen."

"What archers fear most?" Elysia tilted her head.

Bai Yan saw her expression and didn't say anything more.

The next moment, he disappeared from the spot.

The afterimage swept past the midfield, Elysia was slightly startled upon seeing it.

She didn't panic; she simply fired her last arrow and then nimbly leaped into the air.

But the afterimage relentlessly pursued, and with just one turn, Yi Liyi closed the distance.

Clang!

The afterimage solidified, suppressing Elysia relentlessly.

The latter blocked with a bent-over posture, which was somewhat unexpected.

But she soon smiled.

"It seems they are not without a way to fight back after all."

"To be fair, I've reduced my effort again," Bai Yan said with a smile. "Let's try a skill contest."

Elysia's smile vanished.

Before she could even show her displeasure, she realized that the other person had already released the pressure and taken a few steps back.

Then, the sword light suddenly flashed.

This was not sword energy, but rather a reflection of light from a certain angle.

Ding ding ding!

The Setsuna they touched again, a triple metallic clang exploded.

Elysia was somewhat disheveled, and after barely managing to hold on, she quickly retreated to relieve the pressure.

She looked up and found Bai Yan standing still, not even chasing after her.

Her little mouth opened slightly.

Elysia eventually gave up on uncovering the secret.

Each person makes a decision based on their own thoughts, and in the end, she decided to give up.
