Wendy: Shenzhou Is So Scary!

The vibrant St. Freya Academy was reduced to a desolate wasteland in the blink of an eye.

Xing stared blankly at all of this, at a loss for what to do.

"Beep beep beep—"

The terminal's electronic beeping sounded, and Xing took the terminal out of his pocket and answered the call.

Kiana's panicked voice came through. "Sachi! Are you still there? St. Freya Academy has suddenly changed for some reason! Auntie, Himeko- sensei, they're all gone!"

"I'm here, Kiana. Where are you now? Where are Mei and Bronya?"

There was a burst of noise on the other end of the phone, followed by Bronya's voice. "Mei and I are with Sister Mei right now Kiana. Sachi, have you seen Rosalia and the other one?"

Fortunately, when she looked behind her, the crying Arin Sisters had disappeared. "Not for now."

Bronya was silent for a moment, then continued, "I understand, Xing. Go to Fire Moth Base One, we'll meet there."

"Understood, be careful on the road."

"The same to you."

After hanging up the phone, Xing took a deep breath. Without a doubt, this situation must have been caused by the collision of Branch World. It couldn't be that the Herrscher of Finality had awakened prematurely and World Destroyer the world, could it?

The Guidance Module projected a virtual screen at the appropriate time, bringing up the task interface.

Ding! New mission: Resolve the everyday clashes in the Branch World. Completion condition: Eliminate the intruding corrupted Servants.

Okay, now we can confirm that a collision has occurred, and we also know which world it is.

Wait a minute, what's with this "daily collision" thing?

Additional settings from the Guidance Module —

During the development of Branch World, their branches may collide with each other. If they are not separated in time, it may lead to excessive fusion of two different Branch World. Even if they are not destroyed, they will suffer heavy losses.

"So the last OOO was also a routine collision?"

The AI in the Guidance Module replied, "That's right, the divine messenger understands very quickly."

Xing pointed at the virtual screen and cursed, "What kind of daily routine is that? I almost got beaten to death, you know?!"

"Being bad is the original sin; please strive to improve your own strength."

Damn, there's no way to refute that.

"In addition, since you are in this timeline, all collision incidents that occur in the Honkai Branch World will be prioritized and resolved here. There will be many such incidents in the future, so please get used to it as soon as possible."

In other words, one day he was playing Yugi with Bronya, and while they were playing, they might be matched with a pair of invincible blank siblings or a pediatrician who was not doing his job properly.

I'm a bit tired; Order Emissary really tough...

Yu continued to gather information from the Guidance Module: "So, the current anomaly at the St. Freya Academy is due to the appearance of a singularity?"

"That's right. Kill all seven corrupted Servants here, retrieve the Holy Grail, and hand it over to Mr. Roman in the archives. That will complete the mission."

Yuki, who was very tempted by the Holy Grail that could provide unlimited energy, asked, "Can't we keep it?"

"You can't use it."

That's right, he can only use the power of the Honkai World.

"The location of the corrupted Servant has been sent to you. Please proceed to eliminate them immediately." The Guidance Module projected a map of the St. Freya Academy, with seven flashing red dots standing out prominently. In addition, there were several other brightly colored dots representing the locations of Kiana and the others.

"Kiana, Mei, Ya Ya, and Wendy? How come it's just the four of them? Didn't they say that people connected to me would be preserved? Why are only they still here? Where are my Silly Mom and Mom Hua?"

"Friendly reminder: This collision is special. The current timeline is unstable. Only those who have been touched by your power will be preserved."

"You mean the Bonded Weaponry?"

"Exactly."

Sachi looked at the Stigmata on her left hand, "That means..."

Jilin's illusory figure emerged from the Stigmata on his back. "What's wrong?"

PS: Among the spirits behind the scenes, only Jilin truly had Bonded Weaponry, and the transformation with Yae Sakura was Stigmata ability.

"Yes, I need your power." Xing removed the Leg Ring, and Jilin's soul merged into it, transforming into a golden giant sword.

Bonded Weaponry: Ji Jilin Xuanyuan Sword!

Sachi put the blade behind his back; the Prototype Pulse Greatsword was in his dorm, so he'd use this for now. He glanced at the map and chose to head towards the green dot closest to him—that should be Wendy. What made Sachi uneasy was that the red dot representing corrupted Servants was very close to her.

He was about to activate the power of the Stigmata and switch to the speed type, as he didn't want anything to happen to Wendy.

"You want to increase the speed, right? Let me do it." Sensing Xing's wish, the Xuanyuan Sword lit up with golden light.

The next second, the giant sword disintegrated into countless tiny parts, which then quickly reassembled into a gleaming golden warhorse! (The same horse that Black Jilin rode, painted with gold lacquer).

Bonded Weaponry: Ji Jilin War Steed!

The warhorse obediently walked up to the dumbfounded boy, lowered its head, and gestured for him to mount.

Climbing onto the tall horse, Xing touched its sturdy back and couldn't help but exclaim, "You have this ability too?"

Jilin was a little embarrassed. "Originally, I didn't have this. Recently, Cang Xuan and the others showed me some comics, and I got some inspiration from them, which is why I developed it. By the way, let's try this!"

The warhorse's four limbs suddenly merged together, and after a complex transformation, they became a motorcycle wheel.

Bonded Weaponry: Ji Jilin War Rider!

Fortunately, he grasped the handle extending from the horse's head, momentarily at a loss for words. He turned the handle, and two rows of thrusters emerged from the rear of the chariot, spitting out sparks.

Let's go!

—Please cherish the current, relatively ordinary dividing line—

Heroic Spirits are a unique creation of the Type-Moon universe, although similar beings exist in other Branch World.

Heroes who exist in human history are enshrined in the Throne of Heroes after their death. Their strength is linked to their influence during their lifetime, but it is not absolute. There are always a few overpowered heroes who, despite not being very famous, can still compete with top-tier Heroic Spirits.

I'm talking about you, Red A.

Heroic Spirits possess a special ability called Noble Phantasm, which is a miracle sublimated from their deeds in life. For example, a certain golden Noble Phantasm is the warehouse where he stores his treasures; Saber's Noble Phantasm is her holy sword; and the Noble Phantasm of the Bajiquan master, Li Shuwen, is the skill he honed himself.

Its name is, [Unmatched Strike] (Wu Er Da).

At this moment, Wendy was in great distress.

Then another heavy punch landed, and the girl knelt on the ground, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

She clutched her abdomen in pain, looking desperately at the old man in red with his hands behind his back.

Master Li looked at Wendy lying on the ground and scolded her with exasperation, "I see that your movements are unsteady and your legs are weak. You can't even withstand a few punches from me. How dare you call yourself a Valkyrie who resists Honkai? If I had a disciple like you, I would probably be so angry that I would die on the spot!"

Wendy weakly retorted, "Sir, I am an archer, I don't fight in melee."

To everyone's surprise, Li Shuwen became even angrier. "Bullshit! Every archer I know is more skilled than the last! Don't insult the archer profession! I'm an assassin, after all!"

Just as he was about to send Wendy to meet the King of Hell, a motorcycle stopped behind Wendy with a long trail of sparks. He quickly got off the motorcycle, picked up the seriously injured Wendy, and channeled his life-saving power into her.

"Hmm?" Upon seeing Xing, Master Li's eyes instantly sharpened. Although he looked like just a child, he possessed a faint aura of martial arts. Interesting.

The girl lay in Xing's arms, her previous panic instantly vanishing. Feeling completely at ease, Wendy leaned on Xing's shoulder and fainted. After all, Li Shuwen's punch was much heavier than Fu Hua.

The boy gently laid Wendy flat on the ground, his eyes blazing with fury, his body suddenly growing taller, and his hair turning a little red.

Happiness, the composite type, is here!

The Guidance Module thoughtfully displays the Servant's stats—

Name: Li Shuwen

Job placement: Assassin

Strength: C

Durability: D

Agility: A+

Magic: E

Luck: E

Noble Phantasm: No Rank

P. S.: The Chinese Servants in Type-Moon are either mediocre or overpowered. (Author's personal opinion)

Enraged, Xing shattered the screen with a punch and adopted the starting stance of the Cun Xin Fist Style for the intrigued Li Shuwen. "Taixu Sword School, Xing, please give me your guidance."

"Hmph, you do have some skill. Then let this old man see what you're really made of." Sensing the boy's irritability, Li Shuwen also adopted the starting stance of Bajiquan, "Bajiquan, Li Shuwen."

Even if his opponent is a child, he will not underestimate him in the slightest; this is the dignity of a martial artist.

Without the slightest pause, the two fists collided, and a powerful shockwave radiated outwards from the two of them, ripping off the nearby floorboards.

My arm was in excruciating pain, and I couldn't help but turn pale. You're telling me my muscle strength is only C?

Seeing that Xing was able to withstand his first punch, Li Shuwen praised, "Not bad, your punch was very steady and your stance was upright. You must have a good master."

"None of your business!" Xing shouted, then kicked out. Li Shuwen neither dodged nor flinched, but instead turned his fist into a hand, grabbed Xing's arm that hadn't yet retracted, and pulled him sharply towards himself. Xing's kick was rendered useless.

"Kid, remember, offense is the best defense. And next time before you make a move—" Li Shuwen whispered, clenching his other hand, and then fired like a cannonball.

No, two, hit!

A mouthful of blood spurted from Xing's mouth, and the boy's body flew out like a kite with a broken string, landing in a nearby building and stirring up a cloud of dust.

He wiped his hands and said slowly, "There's no need to shout first. A battle between martial artists is a contest of fists and feet, an exchange of martial arts skills. Why waste so much time on nonsense?"

The loud crash of Sachi hitting the ground startled Wendy awake. She got up in a panic and searched for Sachi, just in time to see her dust off herself and walk out of the building's breach as if nothing had happened.

"Is this all the strength you've got? Are you too old to fight anymore, grandpa?"

Li Shuwen was a little surprised. He had used seven-tenths of his strength in that punch, yet the child was able to stand up unharmed. He was indeed quite special.

Fortunately, he rubbed his aching abdomen. The punch really hurt when it hit him, but it only hurt for a few times. Besides, Fu Hua usually beat him with much more force.

Fortunately, he got into position and charged forward again. "Take this Inch Strike: Heaven Splitter!"

For those who preferred direct combat, Old Master Li went straight for them, engaging in battle with the martial arts he had honed throughout his life.

Wendy stared blankly at the battle between the two, their successive attacks leaving afterimages in the air, dazzling her.

With decades more combat experience than Xing, Li Shuwen easily found his weakness and sent him flying with a single blow!

Wendy couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Xing!"

The young boy, who was doing aerial maneuvers, gave her a thumbs-up. "Don't worry, it's okay." Chains flew out from the Stigmata on his right hand and bound Li Shuwen's arms.

"Gotcha!" Before Xing could even feel happy, the old man roared and the chains on his arms snapped open.

Judah is at home now, and the chains created by the Stigmata seem a bit brittle...

While Xing was contemplating life, Wendy calmly caught him. "Are you alright, Brother Xing? Use that!"

She and Bronya are among the least resistant members of the Fire Moth Squad to the Bonded Weaponry.

Xing shook his slightly numb fist and patted her head. "Thanks, but I don't need it for now. Enjoy my new form."

He stretched his body, took off the Book of Cang Xuan bracelet, pressed the Bagua pattern on it, and a belt appeared on his body.

The Book of Cang Xuan bracelet transformed into a Tai Chi ball, which Xing inserted into the groove in the middle of his belt. He patted his belt, crossed his hands, and then suddenly separated them, shouting, "Xuanyuan Armor, combine!"

The Jilin chariot, parked to the side, automatically activated, its horse's eyes glowing red, and sped towards Xing. Just before hitting him, it automatically disintegrated into countless tiny parts, and Xing's body then grew to his adult form. (Here, the power of the Stigmata was used to transform him into the White Night Butler.)

A gray-haired girl—no, it looks more like a gray-haired boy—walked steadily toward the bewildered Li Shuwen. Chariot parts were assembled on his body, forming a majestic suit of armor with a gold, black, and red color scheme that exuded an unparalleled aura of power.

Bonded Weaponry: Ji Jilin Battle Armor!

Xing silently complained to himself, "Just how many uses have Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu developed for Jilin? Is this really Bonded Weaponry modeled after the Xuanyuan Sword, which can transform into various weapons?"

Please refer to the Emperor's Armor for the design here.

Wendy, who was almost blinded by the brilliance, gave a thumbs up. "Brother Xing is so handsome!"

"Looks good, but I wonder if it has a silver spear and wax head." Old Master Li affirmed the armor's appearance, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit. "Then let this old man personally test the hardness of this armor!"

The old man, now in his sixties, unleashed tremendous power at this moment. Although he was not in his prime, he was a master of martial arts in his old age.

Noble Phantasm unleashed, [Unmatched Strike]!

That punch, powerful enough to split someone's skull open on the spot, landed precisely on Sachi's breastplate, and then, that was it.

The old man was immediately dumbfounded. Was the quality of this armor a little too good?

Taking advantage of his momentary daze, Xing firmly grasped his hand, "Soul Steel material, old man."

The jewels embedded in the gauntlets glowed a fiery red, and Xing struck his chest with all her might, the intense flames engulfing his body. "Emperor's Blazing Fist!"

As expected, the fist encased in armor pierced through Li Shuwen's chest, shattering his spirit core, which, for a heroic spirit, is equivalent to a human's heart.

After his spirit core was shattered, Li Shuwen knew he was about to be eliminated, but he wasn't discouraged at all. Instead, he smiled and patted Xing's shoulder armor, "Kid, that punch just now wasn't bad. (Just a bit unsportsmanlike)."

Fortunately, he remained silent. This battle was an unfair victory for him, but as long as he won, that was enough.

"But—" Li Shuwen changed the subject and said to him earnestly, "Swords, spears and halberds are all external objects. If you cannot hone your own strength to the extreme, you cannot be said to be truly powerful. Your fist technique is good, and your physical training is also quite good. You must not go astray."

After he finished speaking, he slowly disappeared.

After the weapons were removed, he stood there, repeatedly pondering the last words Li Shuwen had said to him.

He looked at his hands and murmured, "So, I guess I can't rely too much on Bonded Weaponry?"

"But I need its power. Right now, I need the power of those external things. Wendy, let's go find Kiana and the others."

The armor reassembled into a vehicle, and Xing, now in her normal hybrid form, grabbed Wendy, mounted the motorcycle, and sped away.

"Brother Xing, where did you find this car? It can even turn into armor! That's amazing!"

"Oh, when I went to Shenzhou last time, didn't I find two pieces of Soul Steel Crystal inside Chiyou's body? After they were absorbed by my family's ancestral bracelet, they turned into the Leg Ring I wear. That's it."

Wendy was stunned. Such a powerful thing was just picked up casually. Shenzhou is truly terrifying!

The author's nonsense—

Let's think about bringing Kiana and the others along; after all, this isn't just one person's story.

Well, the early crossover episodes won't be too long, since the main characters haven't fully matured yet, and the difficulty will increase significantly later on.

The story of this volume mainly takes place at the St. Freya Academy, and it's roughly about Sachi leading four beautiful girls to defeat a corrupted Servant and return to their daily lives.

You ask me why Fu Hua isn't included?

Fortunately, I haven't merged with Mom Hua yet.
