The Spatial Rubik's Cube Lock / An Elf?!

'Could it be... she's playing us?'

The moment this thought crossed her mind, Lan Keyue's face darkened. She immediately activated her powerful melee support domain, her figure moving like a ghost as she rapidly closed in several body lengths.

Seeing this, Shangguan Tao sighed softly, and without much hesitation, raised her magic staff, which was as long as a spear, and rushed forward.

And in the end, she simply transformed her staff into a flaming trident, with flames dancing and light flashing. Her figure appeared exceptionally dazzling and radiant under the evening sky, almost like a goddess of fire descending to earth!

"What the hell?! Does he have to be so ruthless? I didn't do anything to you, did I?"

Ling Mengxue felt like crying. Her attribute points were still too low. It was obviously unrealistic to defeat these two Physical Magic girls. If it weren't for her combat experience, she probably would have been smashed into the backyard wall by that attack.

Should I use cheats?

After all, according to her Spatial Perception, there was a mouse lurking on the green tiles and red bricks nearby, waiting for its chance to strike. If she were to be ambushed in this state, wouldn't that be a greater loss than a gain?

Beside Ling Mengxue's head, Shu Momo, stepping on some broken pebbles, quietly peeked out, glanced at the three people fighting below, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Oh, they're working so hard! Unlike me, I'm just a weak girl who can't even kill a chicken!"

Shu Momo smiled slightly, but when she saw Ling Mengxue's exquisite and serene face, her eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if stars were twinkling.

"What a beautiful young lady! She's definitely a stunning beauty!"

"And... her secret seems to be shrouded in a veil. I must uncover it myself someday, and then I can return to where I belong."

"With a bit of luck, we might even be able to kidnap them!"

As Shu Momo secretly observed all of this, the situation gradually became tense...

Chapter 100 Spatial Rubik's Lock

The sword technique that Ling Mengxue first tried out was actually the martial arts manual in the wooden box that Ye Xiaoying had given her, called "Falling Flower Sword Technique".

Only when used in conjunction with this sword technique can the true power of the Flower Shadow Sword be unleashed. Although this sword technique is not top-tier, it is quite useful for her now.

At the Apprentice Star Engraving level, she couldn't even master sword techniques at the 'Origin Transformation' level, yet this sword technique surpassed the scope of Apprentice Star Engraving sword manual, likely falling between the Low Tier and Origin Transformation.

The existence of such powerful cultivation techniques in the mortal realm was indeed somewhat beyond her expectations. Those so-called martial artists did possess some skill; she just didn't know how high the ceiling of human combat power truly was...

With these thoughts in mind, Ling Mengxue's sword did not stop.

Of course, with her current strength, she could only parry and had no chance to retaliate, but she was actually enjoying it, honing her mind and body, and even managing to hold out for a while with her agility.

Shangguan Tao was somewhat surprised to see that Ling Mengxue was being suppressed from the very beginning, yet she remained so calm and composed.

Although both she and Lan Keyue were very strong, they could only graz each other lightly each time, and could hardly hit each other head-on, which was very frustrating and prevented them from ending the battle directly.

"Although her agility wasn't high, her movements were ethereal and otherworldly, her form unpredictable; I wonder how she trained."

Shangguan Tao wasn't the only one with this thought; Lan Keyue the same way, 'She's only at the Low Tier, right? How can she be so freakish?'

Finally, Ling Mengxue, feeling the pain in her arms, couldn't hold on any longer.

Seeing that her opponent had made a mistake, Shangguan Li acted decisively. A rich magical aura filled the air, and a light blue magic circle was rapidly drawn in the void.

"Binding - Frozen Thorns! (Trial)"

As soon as she finished speaking, five thorny vines, each gleaming with a cold light, shot out from her magic circle in a row, their surfaces covered with a layer of blue-green ice crystals.

The ice crystals contained in the Magic Spring are extremely tough, sharper than a knife tip, radiating a cold light, and as hard as steel. Ling Mengxue had no doubt that if this were tied to a person, it would definitely rip them open!

Lan Keyue was equally unyielding. She opened her magic book, the pages turning automatically. Her long hair fluttered in the air, her skirt rustling in the wind, and a rose-red magic circle was rapidly drawn, spewing out a terrifying aura of flames.

"Three Thousand Reversed Flames! (Trial and Training)"

In an instant, following the thorny vines came countless fiery blades! Was this some kind of melting reaction?!

Upon seeing this, Ling Mengxue retreated rapidly, lightly touching the ground with her toes and moving horizontally in mid-air, her expression becoming more serious.

These magicians are ruthless! Don't they feel secure unless they cripple their opponents and render them incapable of fighting?

Without hesitation, she released the seal on her cheat, and a powerful aura instantly pressed out. She quickly prepared her sword stance and brought it down.

"Void Shatter!"

Middle Tier spatial sword technique, if mastered sufficiently, can even cleave through the void, leaving behind an eternal sword mark. It is specifically designed to break through all kinds of elemental magic, directly Annihilation everything at the spatial level. It can be said to be able to break and cut through almost anything!

Under this sword strike, the thorns and flames were shattered, and even with the spatial fluctuations, they disintegrated and dissipated!

Shangguan Tao noticed something was wrong and quickly shouted, "Mo Mo, aren't you going to hurry up?! Give us some support!"

"Here I am!"

Suddenly, a figure floated down from the sky and stood directly in front of Shangguan Tao and Lan Keyue, gently chanting a spell, which stunned the two of them.

Ling Mengxue's lips curled slightly, giving her a dumbfounded look, before she reached into the Destiny Space, seemingly grabbing at something.

Her movements were swift; before Shangguan Tao and the other two could react, she pulled out a silver Rubik's Cube and tossed it at them without a second thought.

"Spatial Rubik's Lock!"

The next second, a huge Third Order Rubik's Cube barrier descended, as clear and transparent as glass, shimmering slowly in the dark moonlight, startling Shangguan Tao and Lan Keyue.

Shu Momo naturally realized something was wrong. She chanted a spell, transforming her support magic into offensive magic. A magic circle appeared, and she waved her hand.

Then, a wisp of white mist floated out of the magic circle and drifted slowly forward.

Then, to the bewildered gazes of Shangguan Li and Lan Keyue, the confident gaze of Shu Momo, and the speechless gaze of Ling Mengxue, the mist rushed directly into the spatial wall and vanished without a trace in an instant! As if it had never existed!

Ling Mengxue picked up the spatial cube phantom without expression and casually twisted it in the middle.

Hiss--!!

In an instant, Shangguan Tao and the other two felt a chill run down their spines and couldn't help but shiver. Even the grass beneath them seemed to be covered in frost! The temperature inside the space suddenly dropped, as if winter had arrived and they were in the far north!

The effects of the Spatial Rubik's Lock go far beyond these; it can freely alter the position of the surrounding environment, and even allow people to pass underground, thus changing the location of buildings.

This item was from the Fate Mall and cost a whopping 8,000 points. Ling Mengxue took it out without even blinking, and it turned out to be surprisingly useful.

With High Tier cultivation or magical artifacts of the same level, escape is virtually impossible.

Moreover, it can absorb any skill, block space, and prevent spatial movement. It can also be adjusted by its master to return all attacks, making it virtually unbeatable!

It can be said that as long as Ling Mengxue does not choose to actively remove the barrier, with their strength, they would have to wait inside for at least three or four hours before they could escape!

"Mo... Mo Mo?! Do you think we're not busy enough?"

Shangguan Tao knew they were cold, so she hugged herself tightly. She was hit by a Low Tier spell, 'Ice Crystal Seal,' and was frozen numb without any warning. But she still couldn't help but feel resentful and grabbed Shu Momo's equally pale face and pinched it all over.

Shu Momo felt a bit aggrieved; she was cold too! Looking at Ling Mengxue, who looked completely innocent outside the barrier, she seemed to have found someone to vent to and began to complain.

"This isn't my fault! I had no idea she had such a powerful tool!"

Shangguan Tao sighed, rubbing her forehead, looking helpless. "You still have the nerve to bring this up? We asked you to use your auxiliary methods in secret, and you just jumped out like that?"

"I... I was just too worried, that's why I came to help out of kindness," Shu Momo continued to argue, her face full of innocence.

Lan Keyue was still observing her surroundings. This spatial barrier was extremely strange; it would automatically shift its location from time to time, offering no chance of escape. With their current strength, they probably could only wait for it to dissipate on its own...

Seeing that the three people had finally quieted down, Ling Mengxue leisurely walked forward, put her hands on her hips, and scolded them.

"Why launch a sneak attack? Couldn't we just have a normal conversation? Why insist on staging an art movement?" (To be continued)

Chapter 101 An Elf?!

Shu Momo saw Ling Mengxue up close and was secretly delighted, but on the surface she pretended to be angry and pointed at her, cursing wildly, "You slut! You think you're so great just because you have a magic weapon to bully people?!"

"??"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Ling Mengxue's lips twitched slightly, and she almost couldn't resist the urge to draw her sword and kill someone.

Shangguan Tao was startled by Shu Momo's words and quickly covered her mouth, saying with a forced smile, "Little sister, don't mind her, that's just how she is."

After saying that, she winked at Lan Keyue without thinking, but the latter pretended not to see it, turned her face away, and looked stubborn.

Shangguan Li sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless. Why couldn't her two teammates just admit their mistakes instead of suffering physical punishment?

But upon closer inspection of Ling Mengxue, she couldn't help but be amazed.

The girl's fair and innocent face was adorned with long, crescent-shaped eyelashes, and her eyes, as bright as blue gemstones, sparkled with a cold, star-like light, subtly conveying affection, as if shrouded in a faint layer of sorrow.

Gentle as water, graceful as jade!

These were the words that immediately came to Shangguan Tao's mind; to be honest... she was moved.

If she didn't have to consider the opposing camp of the Destiny Engraver, she would definitely get her hands on them.

Ling Mengxue wanted to say something more, but then she suddenly saw Shu Momo and was slightly taken aback.

This girl seemed to possess a unique aura, as if she came from a distant celestial realm—ancient, grand, and somewhat peculiar.

With a hint of confusion, she took a deep breath and silently thought, 'Xi He, check this girl's information.'

The character panel was detected as follows:

A single glance was enough to send a chill down Ling Mengxue's spine. What kind of monster was this?

An elf? Over two thousand years old?

Looking at this seemingly harmless girl, Ling Mengxue felt a chill run down her spine.

After all, they'd discovered such a huge secret about this "old witch." If they exposed it, wouldn't they be killed to silence her?

With such high stats, almost reaching the High-Rank Astral Mark Girl, why pretend to be so weak? Who are you trying to fool?

Seemingly noticing Ling Mengxue's strange gaze, Shu Momo blinked. "Miss, we were wrong, weren't we? You're so pretty, you won't hit us, right?"

"..."

Lan Keyue's lips twitched slightly, and she bravely stepped forward. "There's nothing to say. We're simply outmatched. Do with us as you please!"

"You still seem unconvinced?" Ling Mengxue sighed helplessly, temporarily stopping her thoughts on Shu Momo, and raised an eyebrow at her.

Lan Keyue hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Seeing that the time was right, Shangguan Tao quickly asked, "Tell me, how many points do you need? After all, it was indeed our fault, but you can't ask for too many points~"

Ling Mengxue was taken aback, then instantly realized what was happening. She put the Rubik's Cube barrier into her pocket, sheathed her sword, and then slowly said, "Sorry, I'm not interested in that thing. As for why I came here, you know the answer."

Seeing Ling Mengxue release them, Shangguan Tao paused, then felt a surge of joy, but also some surprise. "Are you sure? The battles between those Destiny Engraver aren't just about grudges; they're mostly about points. How can you improve your strength without these?"

"No need," Ling Mengxue replied calmly, then turned to look at Lan Keyue, "You and your sister... look very alike."

Lan Keyue trembled, remaining silent for a long time before slowly uttering, "Thank you for letting them go. I can give you my savings..."

"No need, I'm not interested in that stuff," Ling Mengxue interrupted her directly.

Seeing the two of them chatting away, Shangguan Tao felt a little taken aback. Taking advantage of Ling Mengxue's inattention, she quickly pulled her hand and said, "Let's get acquainted. My name is Shangguan Tao. You should have heard my brother mention me before, right? To express our apologies, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. How about we all go together?"

"..."

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Shu Momo took a few steps forward, subtly took Ling Mengxue's hand, and also pulled Lan Keyue's hand over. The four of them then walked side by side.
