Wind of Serenity

As one by one the Honkai Beasts 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 something that looked like a pink fox and a girl at the same time (Feiyu Wanzi: I'm not a thing!), the only difference being it was only palm-sized, perfect for a mascot.

"Hiyori Maru, if you're tired, you can go back into the box." She knew Hiyori Maru was already exhausted from accompanying her for so many days in her current state, so she took out the black box.

Upon seeing the black box, Hiyori Maru became anxious and waved her hands, saying, "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 was repeatedly bumped, caving in and bulging, yet Yae Sakura pressed it back down.

"If you don't listen, I'll roast you."

"Wow, big sis, I was wrong QAQ" The pitiable Hiyori Maru actually hugged her head and crouched in a corner inside the box, crying as if Yae Sakura would roast her the very next second.

"You... stay in there obediently, and I'll let you out later."

"Mhm mhm!"

Now, let's turn to our protagonist. He had been effortlessly mowing down enemies, collecting Honkai Energy and Herrscher Experience. Compared to Yae Sakura, his journey was much easier.

"System, how much more Herrscher Experience do I need to level up?"

"Host currently has 89% Beginner Herrscher Experience. Also, a reminder to the Host: after 90%, each 1% of Herrscher Experience is equivalent to 100% of Beginner Herrscher Experience, but it will still be counted as 91%, 92%, 93%, etc."

"Why didn't you tell me such an important setting sooner?" He had been happy for a moment, thinking he only needed 11% more Herrscher Experience to level up.

"It's because the Host didn't ask clearly enough; you can't blame this System."

"You..." The young man wanted to retort, but Xiao Yun woke up again.

"Cough, cough, I apologize for interrupting your conversation, but I've thought of two names, you can choose."

"Oh? Then I'll trouble you, Miss Xiao Yun."

"I initially wanted you to take the surname Li, but then I thought it might be inappropriate, so I decided to have you take the surname Xiao, like this name. First name: Xiao Ning, second name: Xiao Chen. Choose one yourself."

Emmm... What the heck is Xiao Chen! Miss Xiao Yun, do you want me to be single for my entire life? The young man's mind almost exploded. Xiao Chen, really? He was still planning to pursue Yae Sakura and Sirin.

"I... I'll choose it myself..." It shouldn't be too much of a problem to come up with a name in two days, right...

"A reminder to the Host: don't think that two days is not a big problem. Some people have spent a week trying to come up with a name and still haven't decided (Actually, that's me, author QWQ, why is this darn name so hard to think of)."

"This time I admit it, Honkai is right." Even Miss Xiao Yun thinks so, so it's confirmed.

"Also, Yae Sakura is about two kilometers ahead. Host, please prepare yourself, Yae Sakura is already heading this way." It was a bit unexpected that Yae Sakura suddenly changed direction. Why was she walking in the opposite direction?

"Ah? What's going on?"

"This time, this System admits it was wrong. Please check your status panel, Host." Even the System dared not speak, opening the panel for the young man to see.

However, it was quite special, only displaying the Titles column.

"Titles: Male of the Honkai World (has a miraculous effect when facing powerful enemies), Herrscher Created by Honkai Itself (a certain extent of Honkai Beasts and Mortals will submit)."

"This... what's wrong with this?" The young man had no idea what this represented. As the saying goes: The Heavenly Dao goes in cycles, and Heaven spares no one.

"Think about what you've done." Xiao Yun couldn't stand it and reminded him.

Then, the three of them fell silent for three minutes, one minute each...

"System, I X your grandma! Why didn't you turn off the second title!"

"How was I supposed to know how to turn it off! It was you who suspected me of selling fake goods and not giving you Herrscher Experience, so I kept it on for you and even pulled monsters for you to mow down!"

"Holy crap, so all those Honkai Beasts and Mortals earlier were pulled by you? Did you ever consider that if you had pulled an Emperor Honkai, I would have been completely screwed!"

"Screwed your head! Is the Male of the Honkai World someone who gets screwed that easily?"

"What are you two arguing about! Turn off the second title first, then think about how to run!"

Eh, that's true. Not just the young man, but even the System was flustered this time. Fortunately, Xiao Yun was calmer than them and immediately thought of a solution.

However... could it really be solved?

"Roar!" Just a few seconds after turning off the second title, a Honkai Beast arrived... It was a Honkai: Crush!

"System, you definitely prepared this for me just now, right! I don't believe that even after I turned off the title, such a strong monster would appear!"

"Get lost, don't drag me into this! This monster was pulled by Yae Sakura! Yae Sakura is still two hundred meters away from us!"

The Power of Lightning summoned several lightning strikes that hit the Honkai: Crush. It only managed to scratch its skin; the Honkai Beast itself was not harmed at all.

"Run!" He didn't forget to use Time Fracture to slow down time around them.

He opened the map and discovered something that made his blood run cold.

The distance between him and Yae Sakura had never changed. It wasn't like he was running away; rather, Yae Sakura was maintaining a distance behind him, tracking him.

"What should I do... something bad is going to happen."

"It seems I have no choice but to do this... Although my Stigmata's abilities are listed as four, there is only one true ability, which is water. The three abilities, Wind of Serenity, Shield of Serenity, and Sword of Serenity, are all actually the work of the last ability—Shangqing Zhishui. And Shangqing Zhishui comes from nature. My Daoist school says: The Dao follows nature. As your Stigmata, it would be strange if you couldn't possess my abilities. In your current situation, Wind of Serenity and Sword of Serenity should be the most needed. Listen carefully, 'All things carry the yin and embrace the yang'..."

In reality, the young man couldn't understand what Xiao Yun was saying at all. Anyway, after listening, the System automatically granted him the abilities.

"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining new abilities: Wind of Serenity (Stigmata - Xiao Yun), Shield of Serenity (Stigmata - Xiao Yun)."

"Now, you recite it too. The first time you use it, you have to recite it to consolidate it." This made things difficult for the young man, as he hadn't heard anything just now.

Afterward, the System gave the youth a copy of Laozi. Of course, it wasn't given directly, but rather the content was projected into the youth's mind in the form of a text box.

"The myriad things bear yin and embrace yang..."

The youth's speed gradually increased, beginning to leave Yae Sakura behind!

Naturally, if light travels in a straight line (don't ask me why I'm writing this, I'm trying to explain Honkai scientifically, I love physics qwq), then if the youth couldn't see Yae Sakura due to obstructions, the same applied to Yae Sakura not being able to see the youth.

A giant mirror reflected the youth (don't ask me where the mirror came from), and at the same time, it reflected the scene into Yae Sakura's eyes. (Light reflection - plane mirror imaging, I love physics)
