I'm Heading Home First

'If this blade were to slice through a person, it would probably cut them in two on the spot, right?'

Ling Mengxue calmed down slightly and pondered to herself.

The Tier-Five Gene Lock can reach such a terrifying level; ordinary people with talent can even become apprentices and learn martial arts...

Is this some kind of cultivator?

That's fucking outrageous.

However, Ling Mengxue couldn't help but feel overjoyed by that move just now; that technique of Wind-Catching Blade was simply brilliant.

But the slash she just unleashed wasn't simply formed from thin air; it seemed to also contain a special kind of energy circulating within her body.

"Is this what Internal Force is? I heard Ling Xin explain it before, but before reaching the Fourth Order, Third Order martial artist can only borrow the energy of heaven and earth to a limited extent through external objects."

Gene Lock martial artists do not possess the ability to gather qi in their dantian as depicted in martial arts novels.

Internal Force circulates throughout the body, originating from every part of the body, and does not negate any martial arts skills.

At most, one can only use special methods to break through the Qi Sea, preventing True Force from condensing and temporarily rendering the opponent powerless.

However, I felt there was a familiar feeling, a sense of belonging.

It's 'Star Source'!

"It would be even better if it could be integrated and used; otherwise, relying solely on the strength of Tier-Five Gene Lock would be a waste of the Astral Mark Girl's advantages."

"And that flick of the finger like a knife, that Internal Force strike in mid-air—while it looks impressive, it feels a bit flashy and impractical..."

"Forget it, as long as he's handsome, that's all that matters. Why worry about anything else?"

Ling Mengxue found it somewhat amusing, but she was also both excited and delighted.

In modern society, she doesn't even have the opportunity to find someone to spar with, and suddenly she feels a bit lonely.

"Should we test our skills against those Magical Girls? As long as we're careful, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?"

Ling Mengxue Youyou in thought.

Just then, the doorbell rang, producing a series of "ding-dong" sounds.

Without much hesitation, she immediately went to open the door.

It was so late, and she hadn't expected anyone else to come knocking. If it wasn't for something important, it was probably Xi Yan and the others.

But based on her understanding of Luo Xiyan, whenever she returned alone, the girl would simply use Spatial Blink, appearing and disappearing as if it were her own home, coming and going freely.

"Ruoxi?"

Upon opening the door and seeing who it was, Ling Mengxue was taken aback for a moment. "Why are you here alone so late? Come in, it's quite cold, don't catch a cold."

"Thank you, sister."

Lin Ruoxi stood outside the door for a while, hesitating, before slowly walking in. She would occasionally steal a glance at Ling Mengxue, seemingly lost in thought.

It was only then that she noticed the sword mark, several meters long, beneath her feet, and exclaimed in surprise, "Sister, the sofa looks broken!"

"Huh? Holy crap!"

After realizing what had happened, Ling Mengxue quickly took out a Restoration Crystal and used it on the spot, and the scene was quickly restored to normal.

I was so busy analyzing the sword mark that I completely forgot about this.

She breathed a deep sigh of relief and then used the excuse that she had just been practicing swordsmanship, which was why she had messed up the place.

Lin Ruoxi found this quite amazing, nodded somewhat blankly, and sat obediently on the sofa, while occasionally stealing glances at Ling Mengxue, as if trying to discern something from her.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see anything and could only stare blankly, her eyes brimming with tears.

"Sister Meng, aren't you Ling, Ling Feng? The one you were walking with at school..."

Lin Ruoxi's demeanor was off when she spoke; she seemed timid and hesitant, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid to speak loudly.

Ling Mengxue's heart skipped a beat, and she explained somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, the 'Ling Feng' I'm talking about now is a friend of mine in disguise. She's a Magical Girls, you don't need to worry about it, she's just helping out with some classes."

"Magical Girls?"

Upon hearing this word, Lin Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then, as if she had just thought of something, an incredulous expression appeared on her face.

"Sister, I think I understand you now."

"Huh?? What do you know?"

[img=629,767]htt Chapter 127 I'm Going Home First

Over the next few hours, Lin Ruoxi couldn't suppress her curiosity and kept chatting with Ling Mengxue, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

It's perfectly normal for a little girl to be filled with longing for such magical things.

In fact, Lin Ruoxi once had a dream: to become Astral Mark Girl or Magical Girls like Ling Mengxue, transforming into a female knight-errant and roaming the martial world with a sword.

How handsome he is! He can even protect the people.

She talked about these things, but she didn't really take them to heart.

Dreams are just dreams. This isn't about being a billionaire, giving her time to catch up; it's an insurmountable chasm between the mortal and the divine.

It wasn't until Lin Ruoxi got up to say goodbye that Ling Mengxue realized something, but she didn't say anything.

'Little girl, focus on your studies. This stuff is too dangerous; don't get involved.'

After quickly tidying up the house, I returned to my room.

Nothing more was said that night.

A new day should have been normal, but as soon as she entered the classroom, she saw Tang Xiaohua walking angrily towards her.

"Ling, don't get too cocky. I'll definitely win next time!"

"??"

Ling Mengxue was completely bewildered.

'What the hell is that? But what is this woman looking for now?'

What did you win? You're usually perfectly fine. Why did you suddenly become so crazy today?

After racking her brains for a while without finding a solution, Ling Mengxue accidentally saw Mo Chuyun lying on the table, secretly laughing. She was stunned for a moment, and then it was as if a sudden enlightenment had struck her.

Holy crap!

It was definitely her who did it!

Mo Chuyun noticed Ling Mengxue's embarrassed and angry gaze, and her heart sank instantly. "Oh no, I've been found out."

Seeing this, she had to go and coax the little princess. She was angry, and if Luo Xiyan found out, she might be beaten to death!

This absolutely must not be allowed to happen!

After making up her mind, Mo Chuyun used the identity of "Ling Feng" and relied on her brother's status to advance step by step.

Then, under Yue Youyou's surprised gaze and the stunned looks of the surrounding classmates, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Ling Mengxue's slender waist.

"Little sister, I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"

Looking at Mo Chuyun's sincere expression, Ling Mengxue felt a chill run down her spine.

"You bastard... let's talk outside."

After establishing another set of rules and regulations outside the classroom, the two Youyou returned to the classroom.

Fortunately, they were all sitting in the back row, so not many students noticed, but it still sparked some discussion.

Ling Mengxue felt somewhat helpless; why was it so difficult to simply live a peaceful life as an ordinary person?

After being warned like this, Mo Chuyun became much more obedient.

Although she didn't understand why she kept messing things up despite trying to help out of kindness, she still didn't know why.

It's too difficult.

When school ended in the afternoon, Zhao Ping and Zhao Lei approached Mo Chuyun to discuss the upcoming trip to Fanghua City for the Awakening of Superpowers event this weekend, including the necessary funds and precautions.

Mo Chuyun felt a bit irritated and had an urge to kill someone, but with Ling Mengxue watching from the side, she could only silently endure it all, and blinked at the latter with a somewhat aggrieved look.

After Zhao Ping and the others left, Mo Chuyun couldn't take it anymore and threw herself at Ling Mengxue.

"Xiaoxue, that so-called superpower thing sounds fake, but those two are talking about it so excitedly. Are you just going to let them get away with it?"

"This is their dream."

Ling Mengxue pushed the person away slowly without expression, then a serious look appeared on her face. "No matter what the outcome, we must at least make Zhao Ping and the others face reality, otherwise, given their personalities, they will never give up."

Mo Chuyun was taken aback by his words, then looked in the direction they left with a half-smile, silently shaking her head. "Then they're destined to be disappointed."

"..."

Ling Mengxue was speechless for a moment. After thinking for a while, she still asked, "I can go by myself. Can you teach me how to transform like you? It'll be easier to use my original appearance."

"How can that be? What if something happens?"

Mo Chuyun stuck out her tongue, but still humbly explained, "Shapeshifting Art is High Tier magic; you can't use it."

However, if you have enough points, you can exchange them for an Illusory Realm, which allows you to transform into anyone's appearance for a period of time. Of course, the drawback is also quite obvious; it's just like an illusion, so you should try not to let others touch it, as it's easy to be exposed.

"A smokescreen?"

Ling Mengxue nodded thoughtfully and began searching within the Destiny Space.

She found it quickly, and it cost her two thousand points.

After reading the item description, she paused for a moment.

The Illusion Mirror has a single-use time limit of twelve hours. For example, if you've transformed back into Ling Feng but aren't tall enough, you could just walk right into his head and risk exposing your identity due to clipping.

Anyway, as long as it works, that's fine.

If you're too picky, you might end up with nothing usable.

Mo Chuyun wanted to say something more, but Ling Mengxue didn't give her the chance and pulled her out of the classroom.

"What do you want to do to stop following me?" Ling Mengxue glanced at her without saying a word.

"Unless you can prove to me that you are capable of protecting yourself," Mo Chuyun said without backing down.

She could grant Ling Mengxue any request, but she would never back down when it came to matters of personal safety.

No matter what the matter or the reason, as the older sister, she has an obligation to protect her younger sister. Even if Ling Mengxue doesn't admit it, as long as she thinks so in her heart, she will never let go.

That's just how capricious I am!

Ling Mengxue didn't pay any attention and instead led the person to the back mountain.

At this moment, there's no one around, so it's a perfect time to test my sword skills.

The image of that Internal Force being released last night was still deeply etched in her mind; it was incredibly cool.

Looking at the deserted back mountain, Mo Chuyun asked, somewhat puzzled, "What are we planning to do here?"

Ling Mengxue didn't speak, but instead took out the Flower Shadow Ancient Sword.

She held the sword on her back with one hand, her skirt fluttering in the wind, and for a moment, she gave off the feeling of a transcendent sword immortal.

Furthermore, she possesses an ethereal aura, exuding an overwhelming aura!

The sense of oppression suddenly intensified!

"Watch this sword strike closely."

A melodious and sweet voice drifted over, Mo Chuyun nodded in agreement, saying, "I'm watching~"

"Sword drawn... Pah!"

"Feng Heng, Sword Shadow!"

In an instant, a white light streaked across the void.

Mo Chuyun's pair of bright eyes widened in astonishment, as if she had seen something incredible.

She was not Astral Mark Girl, but Gene Lock Warrior, and had no idea how much Daoist essence lay in that sword strike.

However, she believed that even if her men came, few of them would be able to withstand this move.
