Under Li Yu's relentless attacks, Izayoi finally learned his movement techniques and managed to dodge one of Li Yu's attacks thanks to her superior physical abilities.

Seeing this, Li Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but praise, "Not bad, you've finally learned it, but that's not enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Izayoi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. A jet-black blade burst forth from behind him, slashing fiercely down at his back!

With a "plop!" sound, blood instantly stained Izayoi's back. The wound healed instantly, but the intense pain caused Izayoi to fall uncontrollably from the air.

"This is the Dragon's Afterimage of Pure-Blooded Dragon Species. The opponent you're about to face also possesses this move." Li Yu's voice rang in Izayoi's ears.

Just before landing, he quickly regained his composure, his alertness instantly heightened, and the next moment he vanished from his spot.

The instant he vanished, several sharp shadows appeared on the ground. If he had been still there, Izayoi would now be strung up.

"Ouch!" Feeling the pain in his back, Izayoi was really about to curse. He looked up at Li Yu and said, "Brother, did you have to be so ruthless?!"

They showed absolutely no mercy, cutting him without hesitation and then instantly healing him. It was pure torture.

"Your enemies won't show you any mercy, so enjoy yourself!" Li Yu looked at Izayoi and a slight smile appeared on his lips. The next moment, a terrifying heat wave swept towards him.

The Hegemon's Light Wheel? Although Li Yu doesn't know how to use it, he possesses the power of the Herrscher of Flame, so he can use it as a similar Falna.

A scorching beam of light hurtled towards Izayoi, sending chills down his Izayoi. Would he be roasted alive at this rate?

He had to dodge it; he couldn't believe Li Yu would show mercy. This attack was sure to inflict terrible damage on him.

Even his hair and clothes would be burned off instantly. In order not to end up in such a sorry state, Izayoi squeezed out all his potential at this moment.

Under his guidance, the Stellar Particles within his body were activated at full power, instantly boosting his speed to its limit and creating distance at an astonishing pace.

In the blink of an eye, Izayoi appeared thousands of kilometers away. Turning his head, he saw that the spot where he had just been was now enveloped by a blazing halo of light.

The scorching heat hit him in the face. Even after running for thousands of kilometers, the aftershocks of Li Yu's attack made his scalp tingle, and the sweat flowing down his forehead evaporated instantly.

"Did you feel it? This is the enemy's killing move you'll have to deal with next!" Li Yu's voice rang in Izayoi's ears, and the next moment another attack landed.

"Don't even think about running away. What you need to do is defeat it. After all, the enemy won't give you a chance to hide. Even if you can hide, what about the places it attacks? The Little Garden isn't like this place where there's no one around." Li Yu's voice, like a devil's whisper, rang in Izayoi's ears.

You don't want countless people to be affected by this attack because of your evasion, right? So Izayoi only has one choice: to defeat it!

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Izayoi was truly devastated. "An attack that can fire in rapid succession?" he wondered. He suspected Li Yu had added something extra, doing it on purpose.

Taking a deep breath, Izayoi didn't dodge this time. He understood that what Li Yu said was true. If the opponent's attack was really that outrageous, then many people would definitely be affected.

So, let's fight! Izayoi mobilized all his power and launched a counterattack against Li Yu's attack, blasting out a Aurora Pillar.

At this moment, he mobilized all the energy within his body, and Izayoi also activated the power to shatter the Falna. Izayoi chose to confront Li Yu head-on.

Li Yu began to use his ultimate moves to deal with Izayoi, and would occasionally launch surprise attacks with Dragon's Afterimage. Under Li Yu's constant pressure, Izayoi's power was also constantly increasing.

On the other side of this enormous space, Asuna and the others watched the occasional roars and massive explosions coming from afar, and they were at a loss for words.

"Could Li Yu be planning to kill Izayoi?" Asuka Kudou looked at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance and the beams of light that shot into the sky every now and then.

Isn't this a bit outrageous? Are they really going to beat me to death? Izayoi is being far too cruel; can she really withstand it?

"Probably not. Based on what I know about Li Yu, he'll probably treat him while fighting Izayoi!" Asuna said with a strange expression, sharing her guess.

The other students also looked puzzled, because they all thought it made a lot of sense; the class monitor would definitely do that.

Moreover, it's rare to find someone who can provide special training. Li Yu really enjoys training everyone. Back in the day, this is how Li Yu would force them to their heads and give them a good beating!

"Is Li Yu a devil? Healing while fighting?" Asuka Kudou was utterly shocked when she heard Li Yu say that. Was Izayoi about to break down on the spot? This was simply endless torture.

"Yeah, that's right, the class monitor is a real devil. You know, we were beaten headfirst back then!" Hearing this, Xia Yu felt she had a lot to say. Li Yu had pinned her to the ground and pounded her mercilessly back then.

Asuka Kudou and Kasukabe Yō exchanged a glance, and in that instant, they reached an agreement: let Izayoi enjoy this herself; they would resolutely not participate.

According to Asuna and the others, if they seek training from Li Yu, they might be treated inhumanely, which is quite bad.

"Forget about them, they'll be fine. Let's take this opportunity to train properly, since we don't usually have this chance." Asuna turned her gaze to her classmates.

Hearing Asuna's words, everyone nodded in agreement. They then formed teams and began sparring together.

Everyone... also wants to unleash their ultimate moves recklessly, especially now that everyone has Perpetual Motion Machine, and no one has really tried it out yet.

Yun Shu then pulled Xia Yu, Ye Zi, and the others along to try it out, wanting to test the effects of infinite magic.

Everyone began training in this space. Izayoi had been thoroughly humiliated by Li Yu for several days, and her strength was growing stronger and stronger.

The Perpetual Motion Machine effect was fully unleashed at this moment. He tirelessly dealt with Li Yu, his clothes were already tattered, and although he had no wounds, he was covered in blood.

His entire demeanor has changed. Compared to when he first started, Izayoi now has the air of a Predator. Most importantly, he is no longer distracted by pain!

Because he had long since become numb, Li Yu would occasionally launch a sneak attack, sometimes even resorting to underhanded tactics. He had already experienced the pain and was used to it.

"That's great! Now you finally have the qualifications to defeat your opponent. So, what's next~!" Li Yu looked at Izayoi with a smile, activating his Honkai Spirit Rank.

Faceless, humanoid creatures exuding a terrifying aura appeared one after another. These were the pseudo- Herrscher that Li Yu had been tinkering with over the past few days using the Honkai Spirit Rank. All the Authorities possessed by the Honkai were contained within them.

Seeing what Li Yu had created, Izayoi felt a chill run down her spine. The next moment, one of the pseudo -Herrscher moved, and a beam of light was blasted into the sky, instantly enveloping everything within a thousand kilometers.

At this moment, Izayoi sensed that the power within his body had disappeared, or rather, it was completely Binding by an even more terrifying power, making it impossible for him to use it.

"Defeat them, and you'll graduate!" Li Yu said, then disappeared from the spot. There were a total of eleven pseudo- Herrscher summoned by Li Yu.

The strongest Finality Li Yu, the End, wasn't created, but these eleven are enough for Izayoi to play with for quite some time.

"Holy crap!" As Li Yu disappeared, the other Herrscher followed suit. The Herrscher of Reason was the first to activate her power, and countless cannons materialized out of thin air, followed by high-energy beams of light blasting out from within the cannons.

Seeing this, Izayoi could only rely on her physical strength to escape and fight back. However, the other Herrscher were not to be underestimated. These Herrscher were not under anyone's control, but they could fight Izayoi based on their instincts.

Li Yu, who had run to a distance, watched the show quietly. If Izayoi could deal with these Herrscher, then he would be in a strong position to face Azi Dahaka.

You see, Li Yu had given Izayoi unlimited healing. If even that couldn't defeat these Herrscher who couldn't recover, then he'd have to reconsider whether he should still hand Azi Dahaka over to him.

Li Yu had witnessed the opponent's growth firsthand. With the opponent's current combat experience, facing Azi Dahaka shouldn't be difficult. Knowing a great deal of information, Izayoi could seize the opportunity and kill him in one blow.

The main reason for creating so many Herrscher and Izayoi to play together is to let them get used to the feeling of being surrounded and attacked.

From his initial martial arts skills, the Dragon's Afterimage, to wide-range attacks, and now his clones, Li Yu has been training specifically with reference to Azi Dahaka.

I believe that when Azi Dahaka is resurrected, he will surely surprise Izayoi.

Izayoi below was completely unaware of Li Yu's thoughts. At this moment, he was frantically dodging those attacks. Although the Authorities of the Herrscher of Binding prevented him from activating any of the power within his body, the strength of his physical body remained.

That's why he's not completely defenseless. The ball of light in the sky is the culprit. Want to leave this area? Izayoi can't escape at all, because he's being targeted by the Herrscher of the Void.

So the only thing he can do now is to defeat the Herrscher of Binding first. Only in this way can he defeat them one by one. Otherwise, his power will be reduced to less than one-tenth, and he will not be able to defeat them all!
