The cat spirit's body jolted, and it instinctively darted into Fu Hua's embrace.

Little Herrscher, watching from the side, was dumbfounded.

Blinking, Fu Hua glanced at the cat spirit clinging tightly to her.

Then she looked at the hand of the Herrscher of Reason, which hadn't yet retracted.

"Little Herrscher, don't scare our guest like that."

Pulling the Herrscher of Reason closer, Fu Hua gently tapped its forehead.

"Aiya, I wasn't... I saw it darting around you and causing trouble."

Grinning and holding its forehead, the Herrscher of Reason said.

"I didn't do anything bad, meow!"

Slowly releasing Fu Hua, the cat spirit protested to the Herrscher of Reason.

In return, it received a cold stare.

"Eeeeh~~"

Fu Hua gently patted the cat spirit's back and said kindly.

"It's okay, I'm here. If it bullies you, just tell me."

So warm~ They look so similar, but why is one so gentle and the other looks like a demon, meow.

"Thank you, meow~"

"Alright, Fu Hua, our client has arrived. We'll be going now, bye-bye."

"Mm, farewell."

"Captain Anby."

"Don't worry, Cuiji. Once this commission is over, we'll come back to accompany you."

"Okay, Captain Anby."

Reluctantly releasing the hand she was tightly holding, Cuiji sighed and prepared to go train.

"Teacher, I want to undergo your sixty-second trial again."

Hearing this, Fu Hua looked up slightly at Hoshimi Miyabi and was about to speak.

Little Herrscher quickly interjected.

"Me, me, me! I'll test you. Don't worry, I'm just like the Old Fossil."

"Then you go ahead, Little Herrscher. Miyabi, is that okay?"

"Of course, I'd love to cultivate with the Herrscher of Reason."

"Is that how you phrase it? Who wants to cultivate with you!!! I'm testing you, and I'll be serious! I'll cry if I get hurt!"

The Herrscher of Reason's face flushed slightly, and it stomped its foot as it spoke.

"Understood, Ms. Herrscher of Reason, please proceed."

"Damn it! I'll show you how powerful the great Herrscher of Reason is."

Rolling up its sleeves, Little Herrscher directly took out its most trusted piece of equipment.

"Unwise Brick!"

A large red brick appeared in its hand. The Herrscher of Reason hefted it.

A grin spread across its face.

"I'm going in when you're ready. Little Fox."

Hoshimi Miyabi stared at the brick in its hand, not daring to be careless. She slowly crouched down, her fingers brushing over the hilt of her sword.

"Please, grant me your guidance--"

"Hehe--"

With the laughter cut short, the Herrscher of Reason flashed in front of Hoshimi Miyabi.

A red glow emanated from its eyes, looking incredibly sinister.

The brick smashed down towards her.

Seeing this, Hoshimi Miyabi's brow furrowed, and she swiftly drew her sword, slashing out.

Dong--

A dull thud echoed. The ground beneath Hoshimi Miyabi instantly shattered.

Her hands trembled, feeling the pressure from the sword as heavy as Mount Tai.

No, I can't block this head-on.

Reacting quickly, Hoshimi Miyabi twisted the hilt of her sword, deflecting the Herrscher of Reason's force.

Then she turned and swung her sword at the opponent's waist.

Although the movements were flashy, although the momentum was fierce, although the attack was swift, but...

This was the Herrscher of Reason, after all.

After spinning in the air, she delivered a roundhouse kick towards Hoshimi Miyabi's head.

The moment the opponent blocked with their sword, she directly took the brick and smashed it towards their feet.

Seeing this, Hoshimi Miyabi's eyes widened, she quickly let go and retreated several steps.

Thump--

A dull sound echoed, and the brick embedded itself deeply into the ground.

The moment Little Herrscher picked up the Unwise Brick.

A clear groove from the brick was visible on the ground.

It was flat and smooth inside, with sharp edges and corners.

As if carved by a divine sculptor.

"Sushang, how many seconds has it been?"

"Reporting to Ancestral Master, just twelve seconds."

"Mm..."

Fu Hua slightly raised her teacup and took a sip.

Sweat beaded on her forehead. Hoshimi Miyabi looked at the Herrscher of Reason, who was relentlessly attacking her, like a pitch-black beast.

The opponent's blood-red eyes seemed to want to devour her.

This oppressive feeling, filled with intense killing intent, was something she had never experienced before.

Panicked, she raised her sword, constantly blocking the Herrscher of Reason's brick.

The youngest Void Hunter in history, the genius of the Hoshimi Family, being beaten by a brick with no way to retaliate.

How absurd would it be if this got out?

Moreover, the person in front of her was the Herrscher of Reason.

This guy wasn't just skilled in orthodox combat, their unconventional moves were also incredibly effective.

She directly threw the brick at Hoshimi Miyabi.

Her figure flashed, and she appeared behind her.

Under the blue sword light, after quickly bending down to dodge, she directly took Hoshimi Miyabi down with a scissor leg takedown.

After catching the brick that was sent flying by the opponent's sword, she swung it towards the opponent's head.

Fortunately, Hoshimi Miyabi quickly adjusted.

With a flick of her sword tip, she forced the Herrscher of Reason to backflip and dodge.

This gave her time to stand up.

"Ancestral Master! It's been over 30 seconds."

"Got it, my little grand-disciple."

Sheathed Sword appeared behind the Herrscher of Reason.

She gripped Speak to Kill and charged at Hoshimi Miyabi with a wild laugh.

Red sword energy flashed continuously.

Hoshimi Miyabi was starting to look somewhat dejected.

"So weak! You, I haven't even used one percent of my strength, hahahaha--"

After several clashes between the Demon Blade and the red sword, the Herrscher of Reason decisively let go.

A spear flew into her hand, she directly parried the opponent's sword and continuously thrust at Hoshimi Miyabi.

Hoshimi Miyabi hurriedly blocked and dodged.

Seizing an opportunity, she flashed to the side and slashed at the Herrscher of Reason.

Unexpectedly, she let go again, flipped, stepped on the spear shaft, and jumped into the air.

The Yin Yang Strange Instrument appeared, and the Herrscher of Reason directly swung the black and red long whip, lashing it at Hoshimi Miyabi.

Instantly, slash, slash--

The sound of clothes tearing echoed, accompanied by the splatter of red blood.

As the Herrscher of Reason landed, she also lowered her whip.

She raised Sheathed Sword and prepared to smash it down on Hoshimi Miyabi, who was already bound by the whip and unable to move.

Fortunately, at this moment, Fu Hua reached out and blocked the Herrscher of Reason's attack.

After the smoke and dust dispersed, Fu Hua spoke calmly.

"Enough, Little Herrscher."

"Alright, alright--Little fox, you're still a long way from being here with me."

"Time?"

"41.11 seconds."

Nodding, Fu Hua turned to look at Hoshimi Miyabi, who was sitting on the ground, panting heavily.

Her Anti-Air Sixth Division uniform had been torn to shreds by the Herrscher of Reason.

During this time, many bloody gashes were still oozing blood.

Shaking her head, Fu Hua slowly stepped forward and helped her up.

"How do you feel?"

"Teacher, why did my time decrease? Have I regressed?"

Hearing this, Fu Hua tidied her clothes and then smiled gently.

"Of course not. Little Herrscher, you've already used power beyond the test. For Miyabi to achieve this is already great progress."

"Really?"

"Of course. You have quite a few wounds.

Come to my bedroom, I'll help you treat your injuries."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher."

With that, Fu Hua turned and led Hoshimi Miyabi toward the bedroom.

Little Herrscher watched the two enter the bedroom.

"Oh no, I shouldn't have injured her!"

Hurrying to the outside of Fu Hua's bedroom window, the Herrscher of Reason peeked inside.

She saw Hoshimi Miyabi sitting on Fu Hua's bed.

She was only wearing her underwear.

And Fu Hua sat beside her, very close.

Her fingertips gently applied white ointment to the wounds on Hoshimi Miyabi's waist and abdomen.

"Does it hurt?"

"No, Teacher. As a martial artist, how can I fear pain? It's just a little itchy."

Nodding with satisfaction, Fu Hua said.

"That's good. In a few days, if your time permits, I can impart some of my swordplay insights to you."

"Really? Teacher."

"Of course."

"Teacher, you're so kind--"
