Why did Suyo suddenly reveal his Echo?
Doesn't this amount to simply handing over your intelligence to your opponent?
Teacher Jing, the teacher of Class 3 who was sitting near Class 8, glanced at Yuejian next to her in surprise upon hearing this:
"Hey, what kind of teacher are you? You haven't even taught such basic knowledge?"
Meanwhile, Yuejian was engrossed in reading a scene from the novel where "siblings, separated for many years, do not know each other, and fight fiercely in the arena."
Hearing this, he shrugged, covered his face with a book, and adopted a shameless attitude of "that's just how I am."
Teacher Jing sighed, and seeing the eager looks in the eyes of the students in Class 8, she decided to give them a lesson on the spot:
This is the Echoer's [Self-Revelation Resonance].
In battle, actively and clearly state or demonstrate the core information of your own Echo in exchange for a short-term power boost.
As we all know, the essence of the Power of Echo is the resonance between consciousness and reality.
Self-disclosure of Echo is equivalent to actively deepening this resonance, projecting one's most authentic and core 'existential information' into reality.
The Sea of Consciousness will resonate strongly with this, temporarily amplifying the weight of this Echo in reality.
However, when using this technique, you must keep one thing in mind—
Truth is power, but truth is also weakness!
While exposing your core 'truth' may grant you immense power, it also reveals your greatest weakness to your opponent.
If we get targeted, well, you know what will happen...
Upon hearing this, the students of Class 8 suddenly realized what was happening.
Suddenly, his resentment towards Yuejian's irresponsibility deepened.
This guy, it's been over a month since school started and he hasn't taught anything!
However, everyone underestimated how shameless Yuejian was.
Instead of thanking Teacher Jing for kindly covering for him, this guy started complaining:
"Hey, hey, hey, Little Jing, don't mess up my teaching plan!"
"For these kids, relying on this thing too early is not a good thing."
The camera zooms back out onto the ring.
The self-disclosure to the Suyo continues.
"Qiji- san, next—"
I will use this "Imagery Forgery" to forcibly unlock a skill that is absolutely impossible for Echoer below the third tier to master...
Lineage Investiture!
The last four words fell with a resounding force, like a thunderclap.
A chorus of "Wow!" erupted!
The audience couldn't help but gasp!
What "Lineage Investiture" means is clear to every student at the Echo Academy!
On the stage, after saying this, Suyo immediately changed the subject, with a sense of desperate gamble:
"But--
This is not an easy task to accomplish.
From this moment until I'm fully Armament... I might need up to 5 minutes to prepare.
During this time, whatever you do to me, I will be powerless to resist.
So, if you want to win, now's the time to act!
Take advantage of my most vulnerable moment!
Suyo stared intently at Qiji, as if trying to see through the mask to understand the latter's thoughts.
If you're still fixated on that so-called 9 minutes and 10 seconds, and let me finish preparing...
Then, I'll tell you—
Once you miss this opportunity!
You've missed your only chance to win!
Suyo admitted that there was an element of gambling involved in her doing so.
She gambled on Qiji's arrogance, on Qiji's conceit, and on the fact that Qiji would let her complete the Armament in order to fulfill his initial promise of "nine minutes and ten seconds"!
Suyo will never forget what her brother once told her when she was little—
Human nature is that of a gambler!
Timidity is a gambler's greatest taboo!
A true winner must possess the unwavering belief that they can win at all costs!
She stared intently at Qiji, without blinking.
Waiting for the other party's reaction.
Should we seize the opportunity, deliver a swift and decisive blow, and end the battle?
still...
Did her arrogance and overconfidence lead her into a "trap," just as she had hoped?
Qiji tilted his head, looked at Suyo, and after two seconds, suddenly smiled.
Suyo Shitfah, do they think he's an idiot?
What's the point of winning if you strike first?
He's lost so much money, you know!
For Qiji, this competition wasn't about winning or losing; it was simply about gaining or losing.
Because winning or losing is predetermined from the very beginning; the only difference is how one wins.
But money is different; a loss is a real loss!
Qiji is very clever!
So he smiled and kindly informed the other party:
"Suyo, because you are not me, you may not understand what I am about to say."
For me, there has never been a 'only chance of winning'.
Because I have at least 10,086 ways to beat you.
You can't expect ivory from a dog's mouth!
What came out of Qiji's mouth was still his signature slang.
Just like the brother I remember...
No, wait! Pshaw!
What kind of person is he to dare speak the same words as his brother?!
Moreover, even if it's the same words, it just sounds cool when the older brother says them!
Unlike this jerk in front of me, all he does is make me angry, and nothing but make me angry!!!
I'm so angry!!!
Of course, this time is an exception—
This time, upon hearing Qiji's harsh words, Suyo felt a long sigh of relief rather than anger.
Right!
That's right!
That's it!
Underestimate me! Be arrogant all you want!
Then...
Five minutes later, cry your heart out because you lost to me!!!
For Echoer possesses the Armament, it's a pure crushing defeat against Echoer Armament!
Chapter Sixty-Seven: Brother, Did You See That?
Should Armament?
Qiji was about to give it a try.
"Um, Suyo Shi."
Qiji glanced down at his watch, his tone relaxed, even encouraging.
"You don't need to rush, just take your time."
I can wait for you as long as you can get Armament in six minutes.
There's still plenty of time.
As Qiji's arrogant words fell, the audience erupted in an uproar.
Those who bet on Qiji to win are especially anxious.
"Holy crap! Six minutes?! He really waited?!"
"This is insane! Absolutely insane!"
"No way! Does he even know what 'Armament ' means?!"
"Match-fixing! This is absolutely match-fixing! Referee! I'm reporting this! Qiji is fixing the match!!!"
Some of the gamblers who had placed large bets were so angry that they started throwing water bottles onto the ring.
They had no choice but to be anxious, because any Echoer knew the significance of Armament!
If Suyo were allowed to complete his Armament smoothly, they couldn't imagine Qiji having any chance of winning.
Referee Teacher Kijika frowned slightly at this.
He raised his hand, and an invisible Power of Echo rippled out, creating a transparent barrier around the arena.
The fruit pits and plastic bottles were immediately stopped outside the arena, falling to the ground with a clatter.
"Quiet!"
He spoke calmly, his voice instantly echoing throughout the entire training ground.
"The competition continues! Contestants have the right to choose their own tactics! Anyone who throws objects or interferes with the competition without cause will be punished according to school rules!"
The reactions of those watching the live stream were completely different from those of the audience at the scene.
Those who had just felt sorry for Suyo because of the flashback were now cheering for Qiji's "going easy" performance:
"So cool! So Prisoner Ji! Such a gentleman!"
"Absolute self-confidence! The resulting composure! The church Suyo it's being lenient..."
"Release the water? This is practically releasing the ocean!"
"Suyo-chan, Prisoner Ji has already done so much for you, the rest is up to you! Good luck!!!"
Because waiting for Suyo to finish Armament was too boring, Qiji even walked to the edge of the arena, beckoned to Huomu, and called the latter over.
Huomu was surprised that even at a time like this, Qiji- kun was still so relaxed!
Although I trust Qiji completely and know that Qiji must have his reasons for doing this, I still can't help but worry:
