As one Honkai Beast after another fell, Yae Sakura sheathed her Katana and continued forward.
"Big Sis... We've been walking for so long. When can we get out?" Beside Yae Sakura was a pink creature that looked half fox and half human girl. (Feiyu Wanzi: I'm not a creature!) The only difference was that she was barely palm-sized, making her perfect as a mascot.
"Hiyori Maru, if you're tired, go back into the box." Yae Sakura knew that, in her current state, it was already exhausting for Hiyori Maru to accompany her for so many days, so she took out the black box.
The moment Hiyori Maru saw the black box, she panicked and waved her hands. "No, no! With Big Sis here, I'm not tired at all."
Then Yae Sakura grabbed her and stuffed her into the box.
"Big Sis, Big Sis!" The black box bulged in and out as it was repeatedly struck, only for Yae Sakura to press it back into shape.
"If you don't behave, I'll turn you into roast meat."
"Waaah, Big Sis, I was wrong! QAQ" Poor Hiyori Maru actually crouched in a corner of the box, clutching her head and crying as if Yae Sakura would roast her the next second.
"You... Stay in there obediently. I'll let you out later."
"Mm-hmm!"
Now, back to our protagonist. He cut through the grass all the way, picking up Honkai Energy and Herrscher Experience. Compared to Yae Sakura, he had it easy.
"System, how much more Herrscher Experience do I need to level up?"
The host currently has 89% Beginner Herrscher Experience. The system reminds the host that after 90%, every 1% of Herrscher Experience is equivalent to 100% of a Beginner Herrscher's Herrscher Experience. However, it will still be counted as 91%, 92%, 93%, and so on.
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important setting earlier?" When he thought he only needed another 11% Herrscher Experience to level up, he had even been happy for a moment.
"That's because the host didn't ask clearly. You can't blame this system."
"You..." The young man was about to argue when Xiao Yun woke up again.
"Ahem, I'm sorry for interrupting your conversation, but I've already thought of two names. You can choose one."
"Oh? Then I'll have to trouble you, Big Sis Xiao Yun."
"I originally wanted you to take the surname Li, but after thinking about it, that seemed somewhat inappropriate. So I decided you should take the surname Xiao, just like this name. The first is Xiao Ning, and the second is Xiao Chen. Choose one yourself."
Emmm... What the hell is Xiao Chen supposed to be? Big Sis Xiao Yun, are you trying to make me single for life? The young man's mentality nearly collapsed. Xiao Chen, seriously? He still planned to pursue Yae Sakura and Sirin.
"I... I'll name myself..." Thinking of a name within two days shouldn't be too difficult. Probably...
"The system reminds the host not to assume that two days won't be a problem. Some people have spent a week thinking of a name and still couldn't come up with one. (Actually, that was me, the author, QWQ. Why is this stupid name so hard to think of?)"
"This time, I admit Honkai has a point." Even Big Sis Xiao Yun thought the same way, so it was unquestionably confirmed.
"Also, Yae Sakura is two thousand meters ahead. Host, please prepare yourself. Yae Sakura is already coming this way." It was somewhat unexpected that Yae Sakura had suddenly turned around. Why had she suddenly started walking in the opposite direction?
"Ah? What's going on?"
"This time, the system admits it made a mistake. Please look at your status panel." The system didn't even dare speak this time. It opened the panel for the young man to see.
It was somewhat special, though. Only the title section was displayed.
Title: Male of the Honkai World (highly effective against powerful enemies) Herrscher Created by Honkai Itself (a certain degree of Honkai Beasts and dead soldiers will submit)
"What... does this mean?" The young man had no idea what it represented. As the saying went, Heaven's retribution always comes around. Who could escape it?
"Think about what you've done." Xiao Yun couldn't bear to watch any longer and offered a reminder.
Then, the three of them fell silent for three minutes—one minute per person...
"System, screw your grandpa! Why didn't you deactivate the second title?"
"How was I supposed to know how to deactivate it? You suspected I was selling you counterfeit goods and denying you Herrscher Experience, so I kept it active and even dragged monsters over for you to cut down!"
"Holy crap, so you were the one who dragged over all those Honkai Beasts and dead soldiers earlier? Did you ever consider that I'd be completely doomed if you dragged over an Emperor Honkai?"
"Doomed, my ass! Is the Male of the Honkai World really that easy to kill?"
"Why are you two arguing? Deactivate the second title first, then think about how to escape!"
Eh, that did seem reasonable. Not only was the young man flustered—even the system was thrown into confusion this time. Fortunately, Xiao Yun was calmer than both of them and immediately thought of a solution.
But... could it really solve the problem?
"Roar!" Just seconds after the second title was deactivated, a Honkai Beast arrived... It was a Honkai: Crush!
"System, you definitely prepared this for me earlier, didn't you? I refuse to believe that such a powerful monster could appear even after I deactivated the title!"
"Get lost! Don't pin this on me! This was dragged over by Yae Sakura! She's only two hundred meters away!"
The Power of Lightning summoned several bolts of lightning that crashed into the Honkai: Crush, only breaking through its hide. As for the Honkai Beast itself, it had barely been injured.
"Run!" He didn't forget to use Time Fracture either, slowing the flow of time around them.
He opened the map and discovered something terrifying upon closer inspection.
The distance between Yae Sakura and him had never changed. It wasn't that he was running—it was that Yae Sakura was following him from behind while maintaining a fixed distance.
"What do we do... This is going to be bad."
"I suppose it really does have to be this way..." Xiao Yun sighed. "Although my Stigmata's abilities listed four entries, they're actually all one ability: water. Wind of Serenity, Shield of Serenity, and Sword of Serenity are all manifestations of the final ability—Shangqing Zhishui. And Shangqing Zhishui comes from nature. As we Daoists say: Dao Fa Zi Ran. As your Stigmata, it would be strange if you couldn't possess my abilities. Given your current situation, Wind of Serenity and Sword of Serenity should be the ones you need most. Listen carefully: All Things Bear Yin and Embrace Yang..."
The young man actually had no idea what Xiao Yun was talking about. In any case, after he listened, the system automatically converted it into abilities for him.
Congratulations, host. You have acquired new abilities: Wind of Serenity (Stigmata—Xiao Yun), Shield of Serenity (Stigmata—Xiao Yun).
"Now, recite it once as well. You have to recite it the first time you use it to consolidate it." This stumped the young man. He hadn't heard a word of it earlier.
Afterward, the system gave the young man a copy of Laozi. Of course, it didn't give him a physical book—it projected the contents to him in the form of a text box.
"All Things Bear Yin and Embrace Yang..."
The young man gradually accelerated, beginning to leave Yae Sakura behind!
Of course, since light traveled in a straight line (don't ask me why I'm writing this; I'm trying to explain Honkai scientifically. I love physics, qwq), the young man couldn't see Yae Sakura because of the obstacles in the way. By the same logic, Yae Sakura couldn't see the young man either.
A huge mirror reflected the young man (don't ask me where the mirror came from), and at the same time reflected that image into Yae Sakura's eyes. (Reflection of light—plane-mirror imaging. I love physics.)
