When Ai Chen appeared a hundred kilometers away from Li Xin, he finally confirmed that she was indeed Ai Chen from the original story's Genius Battle.
She was fresh-faced and beautiful, with a comforting smile and a suit of close-fitting, pinkish-white mechanical armor that perfectly outlined her exquisitely proportioned figure.
The pair of dreamlike wings unique to the Mengluo Wing Race on her back made her look even more like a beautiful angel.
Her appearance perfectly matched every aesthetic ideal of a man from China.
"Mr. Dugu Qiubai, you're my first opponent here in the universe's Decisive Battle Space. I'll give it everything I have and make sure you go down with dignity!"
Ai Chen was clearly excited. Her face shone with a smile eager for battle, and her melodious voice carried a spirited confidence that was not at all off-putting.
"What a coincidence. This is my first time on the Universe Decisive Battle Platform too, and you're my first opponent. I hope your strength lives up to that confidence."
Seeing such a beautiful girl naturally lifted Li Xin's spirits, but that did not mean he would go easy on her.
"Mr. Dugu Qiubai, are you ready? Here I come..."
Ai Chen blinked her big eyes and even flashed a peace sign.
A pink sword of light appeared in each of her hands. They were Aurora Sacred Swords, divine weapons for warriors, in their special twin-sword form.
In the next instant, empowered by the Light Origin Law, Ai Chen shot toward Li Xin at incredible speed. Since she knew her opponent was a Psychic, closing the distance was her first choice.
"Your light refraction and concealment won't fool me!"
Ai Chen seemed to be charging straight at him, but that was merely a Phantom Body she had created with light.
