In the Virtual Universe, Xu Jingming stood alone in a boundless starry arena.
A brilliant galaxy flowed overhead, while beneath his feet was a transparent energy barrier through which he could clearly see rotating nebulae below.
"Eva, create an opponent for me based on the strength Roy displayed in the arena."
Xu Jingming gave the order.
After watching Roy's match, he had come here to test just how wide the gap between them was.
"Sure!"
Eva, the little green-haired girl with twin ponytails, replied cheerfully.
With a wave of her small hand, countless streams of data intertwined in the void.
In an instant, space a thousand meters away twisted, and a white-clad figure slowly took shape.
The man had a cold, stern face and held a pitch-black longsword. It was Roy's virtual replica!
Though he was merely an image composed of data, the sharp sword intent radiating from him felt so real that it made one's heart tremble.
"S-class, get ready. The battle is about to begin."
The little Eva floated in midair, her crisp, pleasant voice echoing through the entire space:
"3... 2... 1... Begin!"
"Destruction!"
The instant the battle began, virtual Roy uttered the word that had terrified a hundred thousand prodigies in the arena.
The pitch-black longsword swung, and black sword light tore through the void.
Wherever the sword light passed, space was neatly sliced apart like thin paper, revealing warped dimensional fissures behind it.
Several meteors blocking its path silently turned to dust, completely annihilated before they even had a chance to explode.
"So strong!" Xu Jingming's pupils contracted.
Watching from the stands and facing Roy directly were entirely different experiences.
At that moment, he could feel every cell in his body screaming of danger.
"Purple Nightmare Demonic Body!"
He did not dare to be careless
