The bear-type Honkai Beast threw its right palm, which was a cross, and it hit Feng Chen directly in the chest. Feng Chen, whose physical condition was not good to begin with, had several ribs broken by this blow. This was the result of him reacting in time and retreating. If he had impulsively charged forward to press his advantage, he would have likely died in this box.
The Honkai Beast had not yet recovered from the pain of its broken palm, howling and clutching the wound. The sound truly showed Feng Chen what kind of attack "Lion's Roar Skill" was; he felt like his head was about to explode.
At this moment, Feng Chen lay in the bushes, forcing himself up, and with his last bit of strength, threw his short blade.
If only its legs were injured, it would be absolutely inadvisable to deal damage to it, as it would be too easy to attack. Feng Chen had originally planned to use "Judas' Embrace of Blood" to enlarge the wound, but he never expected this Honkai Beast to pick up the cross itself. For a large creature like a bear, its combat power would definitely be greatly reduced after losing a palm. It probably only had the strength of a Knight-class Honkai Beast now. But Feng Chen could not underestimate it, as underestimating the enemy is a grave military error.
Everyone has their chuunibyo phase. Feng Chen's chuunibyo phase was different from others; he read through the works of all the philosophers and strategists, and he didn't neglect military books. Others' chuunibyo was a hot-headed impulse, while his was discussing the Dao through literature. Simply put, it was showing off, which felt much better than mere hot-headed impulses.
The short blade pierced the bear-type Honkai Beast's broken palm, and the beast instantly turned into a one-armed giant bear.
"Not working...?" Feng Chen did not despair, because he could feel that the girl was about to arrive.
"Roar!"
On Feng Chen's body, a red-spotted egg emerged. It was obvious that the deafening sound just now came from it.
This aura was many times stronger than that of the bear-type Honkai Beast. Feng Chen could feel that the thing inside this egg was at least an Emperor-class Honkai Beast!
The bear-type Honkai Beast was already looking for a place to vent its rage, and this red-spotted egg became its target.
Emperor-class Honkai Beast? What is that? In the eyes of the bear-type Honkai Beast, there were only enemies left.
Even though this enemy possessed an aura similar to its own, but tens of thousands of times stronger.
"Disappear!"
The sound of a blade being unsheathed and the sound of something being chopped into pieces were the last sounds Feng Chen heard.
"System, am I still alive?"
"Of course."
"Then why can't I wake up?" My body seems disconnected from my consciousness. I want to wake up, but I can't feel my body's existence.
"The Host's consciousness has awakened, but the Host's body is over 90% overloaded and has entered a state of suspended animation."
"Then how can I wake up?"
"When the body's load is below 60%. At Yae Sakura's current speed, it's about 1% per day, so a little over a month is just right."
"With me in this state, will the Herrscher of Erosion attack Sakura?"
"No, because the Herrscher of Erosion is already working on the next plan and doesn't have the leisure to concern itself with the changes in the Sakura Cycle."
"That's good... So, what should I do now?"
"Do? Hmph, what you're going to do next is be lectured by me for a month!" Xiao Yun's voice directly interjected. Xiao Yun, dressed in a white dress, appeared in Feng Chen's consciousness, her face filled with unconcealed anger.
"Sister Xiao Yun... Let me explain, let me explain..."
"Explain! Explain what?! Treating your life as a gamble to do something foolish, you're worse than a fool!"
If Feng Chen didn't only have his eyes to look at the Stigmata Space, Xiao Yun would have probably fought Feng Chen to the death.
"I... I was wrong..." It wasn't that no one in this world cared about him. Yae Sakura, Xiao Yun, even the System, which was part of the Honkai, cared about him deeply.
And this time, he had overestimated himself, challenging a Temple-class on his own... It was indeed impossible for him.
"Don't think that being wrong is the end of it. This is the Stigmata Space, composed of Honkai Energy. Therefore, similarly, Honkai Energy can create a clone of you. As long as your senses are connected, you can be beaten here without any problem."
Wait... beaten?
"What the hell is 'beaten'?"
"Stop the nonsense and act."
"Host, I'm sorry... I don't want to do this, but it's for your own good. Don't worry, after you recover from this injury, I'll get you an Intermediate Herrscher..." Feng Chen had already guessed what she was going to say. Get an Intermediate Herrscher after recovering from his injuries? She meant being chopped into an Intermediate Herrscher by Miss Xiao Yun in this Stigmata Space...
"Host, I've copied your Valkyrie—no, your Honkai armor here. Using it here doesn't count as cheating or going too far." She originally wanted to say Valkyrie armor, but thinking that Feng Chen was neither castrated nor cross-dressing, she changed it to Honkai armor.
"You copied a set of armor too? It's useless. Although I'm not the absolute master here, you can't defeat me yet." This was absolutely true. He had witnessed Xiao Yun's strength. Although it was only through his own physical sensations, the power and skill involved couldn't be honed in just a month or two.
Facing Xiao Yun, Feng Chen would never hold back. The data for Shadow Knight: Moonblade was directly applied to himself. Although it wasn't the genuine article, it wasn't much different from the real thing, he guessed.
In Eclipse Mode, neither "Death Force Breaks the Sea" nor "Inch Punch: Dust Shatterer" could harm Xiao Yun. Every punch was pushed away by Xiao Yun with the ability of "Shield of Serenity" attached to her palm, while her palm was directly severed by a sword. Although his senses were connected, he couldn't feel any physical pain. It could be considered a special way to train his body.
The severed palm quickly grew back, which showed the power of pure Honkai Energy.
Xiao Yun's "Sword of Serenity" and "Wind of Serenity" were far superior to Feng Chen's. The only thing they had in common with Feng Chen was that "Shield of Serenity" didn't require proficiency. Why would defense need proficiency? If it can block attacks, it's good defense.
The first two strikes of "Inch Punch: Heaven Splitter" were blocked by Xiao Yun using "Shield of Serenity." The final part emphasized "ruthlessness" and naturally wouldn't hold back.
"Buzz!" The sword hummed, but with a slight shake of the three-foot-long sword in her hand, the final strike of "Inch Punch: Heaven Splitter" was actually blocked!
"Not enough!" Xiao Yun slashed across Feng Chen's chest with her sword, not deep or shallow, clearly holding back.
"Again!"
"Not enough!"
"Again!"
It was obvious that Feng Chen had gotten carried away. He had forgotten all the military books he had read. He was now a reckless fool with courage but no strategy.
However, even reckless fools can create miracles, right?
