Cat-Girl Girlfriend Liu Erlong?

Soul Power surged around Liu Erlong as the Heart of the Crimson Dragon entry slowly activated.

A faint red glow spread across the surface of the Fire Dragon Battle Armor, like a layer of flowing flame.

She hovered in midair, rapidly scanning the ground below.

Though Chu Men's figure was elusive, it still couldn't escape her keen eyes.

As her giant sword carved a beautiful arc through the air, a crimson blade wave came roaring forth. It cut through two large trees, then continued on with undiminished force, ripping a deep trench into the ground.

Chu Men darted around like a slippery snake, applying all kinds of buffs to himself as he went.

He kept his eyes peeled and ears open, firmly tracking Liu Erlong's position in the sky.

Another blade wave tore through the air, heading straight for Chu Men's feet.

Chu Men hurriedly rolled to the side. The moment he barely dodged it, he spun around and fired an RPG!

Without checking the results, he turned and ran again!

He knew the Fire Dragon Battle Armor's capabilities inside out. At most, the rocket could serve as a distraction.

But it was a statement of intent—a rallying cry for a counterattack!

Unfortunately, that cry only rang out once.

Over the next few minutes, Liu Erlong's blade waves grew more precise and came faster and faster.

Chu Men's movements grew more and more elusive, too.

Liu Erlong, meanwhile, circled through the sky without haste. Her dragon wings beat slowly, consuming very little Soul Power.

The Fire Dragon Battle Armor not only boosted all her attributes, it also drastically reduced every kind of energy expenditure and gave her formidable defense. It was practically a divine armor tailor-made for the Fire Dragon Martial Soul!

Chu Men darted through gaps in the trees like an impossibly slippery loach, his black silhouette shifting constantly between light and shadow.

"Invert—clothing color!"

"Invert—tree colors!"

"Invert—light and dark here!"

"Invert—body shape..."

Chu Men's figure flickered in and out of sight, changing colors from time to time. Sometimes he suddenly looked as though a layer of mosaic had been slapped over him, blurring into a smear, only to turn and vanish into the darkness.

Liu Erlong watched until her eyes began to spin. By the end, Chu Men wasn't satisfied with inverting just himself—he was inverting the surrounding environment, too.

Just as Liu Erlong began trying to locate Chu Men by reading the distortions in the surroundings, who would've thought he'd start playing tricks with delayed inversion?

Soon, the entire forest began to look like a television picture with a bad signal: colors went wrong here, strange blocks appeared there.

Rockets kept popping up every now and then. They couldn't even scratch the armor's defenses, but they were still an incredible nuisance!

Liu Erlong couldn't help giving a cold snort. Empowered by the Heart of the Crimson Dragon, she opened her mouth and let out a heaven-shaking dragon's roar!

A wide-area sound-wave attack!

But the moment the sound left her mouth, it turned into a sweet little "Meow~"

It rang out all too clearly through the silent forest.

The air froze.

The force in Liu Erlong's throat cut off abruptly, and her entire body went rigid in midair.

The fury slowly drained from her face, replaced by disbelief... then, in an instant, it flushed bright red. The color spread from her ears all the way down her neck!

Sound inversion—the effect was incredible!

[Hahahaha, I'm rolling on the floor laughing! Dragon's roar turns into a cat's meow—legendary scene incoming!]

[Sister Erlong: Do I not have any dignity?]

[This isn't dimensional suppression. Physical attacks didn't work, so he maxed out the mental damage!]

[Liu Erlong: Silence him! I have to silence him today!]

[Screenshot! I'm turning this into a reaction meme!]

[Cat-girl girlfriend Liu Erlong—the whole appeal is the contrast. I love it, I love it!]

Chu Men hid behind a tree, his shoulders shaking. He was laughing so hard his face had turned red.

Using rockets as a medium to pass the inversion effect onto a target—the experiment showed that this method worked!

Chu Men nodded in satisfaction, then vanished into hiding.

The black shadow he'd turned into had only just faded when sword energy sliced the tree in half.

Fuming with rage, Liu Erlong slashed once more toward the direction the shadow had fled.

"You little brat, how dare you ambush me!"

"Tch, I call that nipping trouble in the bud. What do you think? Foresight, right?"

Chu Men poked his head out with a smug reply, then timed it just right and tossed a high-explosive grenade!

BOOM!!

No wonder it had been enhanced by an entry. Its destructive power was one thing, but the noise it made was truly immense!

Chu Men had deliberately put plenty of distance between himself and the blast and taken precautions, yet his head was still buzzing.

But what Chu Men hadn't expected was that the explosion would actually bring out the ferocity of the Horn of Slaughter!

"Hahahaha!!"

Liu Erlong's wild laughter made Chu Men's heart quiver.

Had this woman been driven crazy by the provocation?

He'd only teased her a little. It couldn't be enough to...

Before Chu Men could finish figuring it out, Liu Erlong had already launched one blade wave after another in rapid succession!

Every slash precisely sealed off his escape routes, yet each one deliberately missed by half a foot, leaving just enough room to dodge.

His room to maneuver grew narrower and narrower. Chu Men raised his hand and tossed out several anesthetic needles, but before they could reach her, the flames burned them to ash.

Looking at the ring of fire closing in around him, Chu Men took out a bag of reddish-brown powder mixed with silvery-white grains.

The inverted thermite scattered evenly through the air, and the heat of the flames began to dissipate rapidly.

Under cover of a smoke bomb, Chu Men managed to escape and once again vanished without a trace.

"Damn it!"

Liu Erlong was furious. Walls of fire began rising throughout the forest, as if swearing to catch the troublesome little thief.

Pfft~~

A packet of white powder burst open in midair, spreading a massive cloud of white dust. The blazing flames were instantly extinguished.

The forest temperature plunged along with them. Even the nearby yellowed leaves developed a thin layer of frost.

A flicker of surprise crossed Liu Erlong's eyes. "What the heck is this now?"

Her dragon flames were scorching hot, yet this tiny packet of powder had put them out?

While she was distracted, four high-explosive grenades shot toward her, completely engulfing her.

BOOM!

When the dust cleared, a fair amount of dust clung to Liu Erlong's exposed hair, leaving her looking rather disheveled.

Chu Men couldn't resist taunting her. "Sister Erlong, you're not looking so good! What a waste of such great equipment!"

Liu Erlong gritted her teeth in fury and raised her sword.

"What are you laughing at? Just wait till I catch you. I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

"Heh, just you wait. I'll knock you right out of the sky and make you cry for Daddy!"

Chu Men's confidence soared. He stood with his hands on his hips and spoke with smug pride.

Liu Erlong took a deep breath. She channeled eighty percent of her Soul Power, fully activating the Heart of the Crimson Dragon entry.

The Fire Dragon Battle Armor shone with a dazzling, sun-bright crimson-gold light. The dragon patterns on her chest seemed to come alive, flashing ceaselessly with the flow of her Soul Power.

Her dragon wings beat once. This time, she was more than ten times faster than before, leaving nothing but a red afterimage in the sky.

"Well, damn. She's getting serious?"

Chu Men's heart tightened, then his fighting spirit surged. His blood burned through his entire body!

He had only just taken out the indestructible shield when it let out a deafening CRACK!

The immense force sent Chu Men reeling backward. His feet carved two deep furrows through the ground before he slammed straight into the tree behind him.

A devastating crack appeared across the shield's surface, and even its edge had melted into red-hot molten iron.

A thin line of blood also trickled from the corner of Chu Men's mouth. His face first turned pale, then flushed red.

The effect of Powerful Inversion continued to work its magic!

Being injured was nothing!

Liu Erlong knew that, too, so she gave Chu Men no chance to catch his breath. Her attacks crashed down like a raging tide!

The giant sword in her hand flashed up and down, and scattered flames danced through the sky, their searing heat filling the entire space.

"Invert—speed!"

"Invert—direction!"

The cost of applying those effects to Liu Erlong, a Soul Saint, was too high, so Chu Men could only apply them to himself.

The frequency and intensity kept climbing. After only a few breaths, Chu Men had switched to a fresh Soul Power Battery.

This was already his fourth!
