Another sword strike aimed at Feng Chen's chest. Feng Chen grabbed the blade with his left hand and a short blade with his right.
"These two, though named differently, originate from the same source, both called Xuan. Profound and yet more profound, the gateway to all wonders."
"Wind of Serenity" and Blood Knight: Moonbeam's charged slashes were perfectly coordinated. Their attack and movement speeds were already top-tier, and adding mid-range charged slashes made them incredibly difficult to dodge. Xiao Yun was at a loss for what to do!
Furthermore, the blade held in her left hand had dissolved into Honkai Energy at some point, putting Xiao Yun in an even more passive position.
"Is this... my ability?!" Feng Chen seemed to have discovered something. If this was his ability... he couldn't let it grow.
Feng Chen wiped the short blade, but the previous situation didn't occur.
"Looks like I retracted it."
This action, however, made Xiao Yun's condition turn strange. Honkai Energy began to gather around her.
"Bloodfall." Xiao Yun's eyes turned red. Feng Chen felt that the Xiao Yun before him was no longer "Shangqing Zhishui" but a "Red-Clad Swordsman" who had seen countless battles.
The Red-Clad Swordsman held a longsword wrapped tightly in white cloth. Her previously slightly bluish-black hair had also changed. It was now darker, but with streaks of red at the tips.
Even wrapped in cloth, the sword couldn't hide its sharpness. Soon, sword energy tore through the white cloth. The blade was unadorned, just an ordinary longsword...
With a few traces of blood on it.
This strike unleashed a bloody waterfall, thick with the smell of blood. The scent from "Blood Knight: Moonbeam's" short blade paled in comparison.
"Please be careful, Host. The bloody waterfall contains Honkai Energy. With your strength, you are naturally not afraid, but this Honkai Energy has materialized and is not affected by more pure Honkai Energy. It is completely offensive."
"Sword Domain."
Several blood swords circled Feng Chen, piercing his shoulders, thighs, and side.
"Step Through."
Xiao Yun stepped onto the bloody waterfall with one foot, causing numerous blood swords to explode. The Stigmata space seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"Within Reach."
A red silhouette flashed past. Feng Chen's right hand swung his short blade, only to be blocked by the longsword. His left hand threw two short blades, which were sent flying by the blood swords.
"Sword Soul."
Red pupils met black eyes, and Feng Chen's gaze gradually lost its luster.
The short blades fell to the ground, dyeing the longsword red. Licking the blood from the corner of her mouth instantly choked Feng Chen.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Her eyeballs were covered in bloodshot veins, as if her entire eyeballs had turned red. It was terrifying.
"What a fool. Just a little girl who can't control the true power of her Stigmata, daring to lick the blood of a Herrscher." Honkai created a body for itself and entered the Stigmata space.
It was a female body with long black hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a qipao. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, and with a smile, it seemed even Yang Diao Wang would be ashamed.
Honkai Energy continuously flowed from her hands, injecting into the two bodies. Feng Chen's body was fine; it was just a clone. What mattered was Xiao Yun. Her consciousness was in the Stigmata space; she had no body. Feng Chen's body was a 100% Honkai restoration, with Honkai Energy purity in his blood reaching 99%. In contrast, Xiao Yun's was only around 40%, more than double the difference. This impact was not just on her consciousness but potentially on her Stigmata. If anything went wrong, her Stigmata could be ruined.
"Done."
"If you don't wake up soon, you won't wake up at all." The Honkai wearing the qipao squatted in front of Feng Chen, knees together, as she didn't need to give him any special treatment.
After calling him a few times without a response, Honkai felt strange. With my power, nothing in this world is impossible. How could this be?
"You brat, if you don't get up, I'll take away all your first times? Including your..."
"You wicked woman..."
"You know that. Xiao Yun's consciousness has a slight problem, so I'll stay here and watch her."
"Can I go out then?"
"No, but you can practice your abilities."
"How long have we been here?"
"Almost a month. Your body is almost healed. It's best not to try to feel your body, it will hurt a lot."
"Got it. It's just practicing abilities..."
He repeatedly imagined the scene from before, but the short blade in his hand never appeared in that state.
"Do I really have this ability? Wasn't that just an accident?"
"Of course, you do. Whether human or Herrscher, there's always the possibility of exceeding limits. The appearance of your ability just now proved that possibility exists."
"Possibility? You're so boring. If I were outside, I would have died long ago. I don't think I have the so-called possibility of exceeding limits. If I did, I wouldn't have been so severely injured."
"That's because the Host is too weak. Even if you exceed your limits, you can't use your abilities."
"Shut up... But what's going on with you? You should just be a System giving out quests and rewards. Are you actually giving out special favors now?"
"This System refuses to give out special favors, but the Host seems to want it, so I've specifically added a 'special favor' type of reward."
The Honkai before him was humanoid, but its speech was still mechanical, a complete contrast to just moments ago. The Honkai from before seemed to have gained a bit of humanity. If not for the familiar aura emanating from her, Feng Chen might not have recognized her.
"And why are you wearing a qipao? With this attire and the appearance of this body, you're clearly from China... no, Divine Land, right?" The map shows East Asia not as China, but as Divine Land. This means that although the alias for China in this world is numerous, internationally it's uniformly called Divine Land. It's like adapting to the local customs; you'll get used to it.
"The Host is from Divine Land, so this System specially prepared a body of a Divine Land person. The clothes are also chosen according to the Host's preferences."
Feng Chen's face instantly turned red, unsure if it was from anger or shame. He said, "Don't slander my reputation. I don't like qipaos. They expose so much of the legs, making girls easy targets!"
Just as he said this, a string of data flashed in the Honkai's eyes, and then it read aloud.
"Among the websites the Host browsed before transmigrating, qipaos ranked first, followed by maid outfits, and then swimwear. You browsed..."
"Stop!"
If she wasn't stopped, everything on Feng Chen's computer, from what day it was to what was deleted, would be dug up by her.
"If the Host doesn't like qipaos, then you should like this one."
Next, the Honkai pulled up a menu from the air and clicked a few times.
"How is it?"
It was undoubtedly a maid outfit, but it had been slightly modified by the Honkai.
The skirt was shorter, the top was off-the-shoulder, and the back was exposed.
"Change it back... This isn't even a maid outfit anymore after you changed it."
