In the video.
"You... are the class monitor?"
Looking at the class monitor who seemed so unfamiliar, Bronya didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Mei... Theresa..."
Fu Hua frowned at the two lying unconscious nearby. "Bronya, take them and leave. Don't look back. This isn't an enemy you can handle."
"Bronya understands. Thank you, class monitor..."
With that, Bronya carried the injured pair away, while Fu Hua stared grimly at the Herrscher of the Void above the sky.
In her perception, the Herrscher before her possessed not only her own authority but also the power of the Gem of Stillness and the Gem of Desire.
If she added the Conquest Gem just taken from Raiden Mei, that made her a full four-core Herrscher.
That was why she'd told Bronya to take the others from St. Freya Academy and leave.
Because even in this state, she couldn't guarantee a sure victory over the Herrscher of the Void.
High in the sky, the Herrscher of the Void looked down contemptuously at the figure before her, memories flashing through her mind—unpleasant ones.
"I remember you... the same ridiculous outfit as back then, the same hateful face..." the Herrscher of the Void said coldly. "Have you come to save this girl too?"
"Are you done rambling?"
Having calculated that Bronya and the others had evacuated, Fu Hua assumed the starting stance of Inch-Punch Sky Splitting.
"Heh. An ant."
At the sight of that irritating face, uncontrollable rage flared in the Herrscher of the Void's heart. "Ready to pay for your insolence?"
The moment the words fell, the Void Lances behind the Herrscher of the Void twisted and shot toward Fu Hua.
In response, Fu Hua advanced instead of retreating. Her toes lightly touched the ground, and several afterimages spread across the sky like a phoenix spreading its wings.
"Inch-Punch! Sky Splitting!"
Fu Hua's fists blazed with golden-red energy, and the resonance of Tai Xu's Grasp roared through the clouds like a dragon's cry.
Her fierce fist wind shattered the incoming Void Lances one by one. Just as her fist was about to strike, the Herrscher of the Void dodged with her spatial authority.
Before Fu Hua could adjust her stance, the Herrscher of the Void's attacks came one after another.
The Herrscher of the Void's left hand gripped a spiral formed by the Power of Wind, while her right hand wove lightning into a net. The dual Herrscher authorities pressed Fu Hua relentlessly.
On top of that, the Imaginary Gate behind the Herrscher of the Void continuously hurled Void Lances onto the battlefield...
Under the triple assault, Fu Hua inevitably lost focus and left an opening.
The result of that opening was a Void Lance piercing through her shoulder blade, leaving her gravely wounded and unable to rise.
Looking at her former formidable enemy, now crushed in her grip like an ant, the Herrscher of the Void couldn't help but feel inflated.
Not only did she skip the finishing blow, but she even started trash-talking.
"Your martial arts are indeed commendable," the Herrscher of the Void taunted.
"But in the end, you can't break through human limits. I'm different, though. To make those who once hurt me pay, to make the world feel our pain, I've decided to stop being human!"
Sensing the stubbornness in the figure before her, the Herrscher of the Void felt an inexplicable irritation.
"Hmph! Though you're much stronger than those little girls before, in my eyes, you're just a breathing punching bag. So... get ready for your judgment!"
The real world.
"That's too much! That wretched Herrscher, how dare she treat Sister Fu Hua like that!!!"
Jilin couldn't bear to watch Fu Hua's miserable state in the video.
Weren't they supposed to be the righteous side, being tortured by the villain like this?
Wasn't this supposed to be a classic story of beautiful girls saving the world?
Thinking this, Jilin took Fu Hua's hand and comforted her, "Sister Fu Hua, don't be afraid. If it were me in that video, I definitely wouldn't let you suffer like that."
Hearing Jilin's words, Fu Hua's expression stiffened.
She hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke.
"Xiao Lin, you... are too weak. With your strength, you can't defeat a Herrscher."
Jilin instantly felt like a sword had pierced her chest.
Just as Jilin was about to explain herself to Fu Hua, she suddenly heard a faint laugh beside her.
"Pfft~"
Jilin turned angrily and saw Ye Li with one hand on the table, covering his mouth to stifle a laugh.
"What are you laughing at!" Jilin glared, eyes wide.
"I remembered something funny." Ye Li replied, putting on a serious face.
"Cut it out! You're clearly laughing at me!"
"Hey there, classmate, we're just ships passing in the night. If you keep this up, I'll have to sue you for slander~"
"You!!!"
Just as Jilin was about to get up and 'convince' Ye Li with physical reasoning, Fu Hua timely stopped her.
"Alright, you two, stop arguing. Just watch the video quietly."
Jilin plopped down on the sofa in a huff, cursing Ye Li ten thousand times in her mind.
"And here I was comparing him to that handsome guy in the video—how could they possibly be the same person!"
"If they really are the same person, then I'll eat noodles upside down!!!" Jilin thought viciously.
Ps: 160 pulls, 0+0 Tribbie—really, miHoYo, you've outdone yourself!
