Thank You, the Second Divine Key Is Finally No Longer a Train Engine, and Big V Teacher Is Surprisingly Reliable

Several months later...

"The 521st. Does anyone else want to give it a try?"

Looking at the person he had effortlessly knocked down with one hand yet again on the arena stage, Chang Yuan asked calmly.

Most of these people had challenged him because they disliked him being appointed vice-captain by default.

But in the end, he had proven them wrong with his strength.

After Chang Yuan said that, the entire venue fell silent.

Seeing this, Chang Yuan nodded slightly.

"Since none of you have any objections, the vice-captain position of the First Squad is mine."

Since no one continued to object after he spoke, Chang Yuan knew that his position as vice-captain was secure.

His months of focused training had not been in vain. He estimated that his current strength should be enough to deal with an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.

As for Judgment-class Honkai Beasts above that level, those were comparable to Pseudo-Herrschers. They were simply not something he could fight.

But there was nothing he could do about it. The serum Velvie had given him could only take him this far.

If he wanted to go any further, he could only undergo the Fusion Warrior program.

But that thing had an absurdly high mortality rate. Even if the genius Velvie performed the surgery herself, he might not dare accept it.

Unless Velvie was absolutely certain, he would need to think long and hard before undergoing Fusion Warrior surgery.

In any case, with his current strength, he was enough to rank among the first tier of combat power, second only to Airi.

Ding ding ding—!

At that moment, Chang Yuan's long-silent phone rang.

When he opened it, he saw that it was a call from Big V Teacher.

Chang Yuan immediately left, then returned to his room and answered the call.

"Big V Teacher, didn't you say you'd deliver it in a month? It's been half a year already."

"Ahem, it really wasn't my fault. I was suddenly delayed by some other matters. I'm calling this time precisely to deliver that bow to you."

Hearing Chang Yuan's complaint, Velvie on the other end of the call felt a little embarrassed.

But it was not like she had wanted it to happen. Who would have thought a Judgment-class Honkai Beast would suddenly start chasing her?

Fortunately, she had packed up and run quickly enough. Otherwise, that dragon-shaped Honkai Beast would have caught her.

However, she had not had time to pack many of her things, and the loss of some data had forced her to rerun the calculations from scratch. That was why it had taken so long.

"Fine. Where are you? I'll see if I can come pick you up."

"No need. I've already hacked into the Flame-Chasing Moth's internal network. Just come to the *** intersection. I'll wait for you there."

"As expected of you, Big V Teacher. As reliable as ever."

After hearing Velvie's answer, Chang Yuan immediately headed to the meeting point.

When he arrived, he saw a small workshop. Without any hesitation, Chang Yuan pushed the door open and entered.

Velvie appeared at that very moment.

"Chang Yuan, long time no see. I missed you terribly. Here, the bow you wanted."

Velvie tossed Chang Yuan an orange-gold bow. It had no bowstring.

But Velvie barely needed to explain anything before Chang Yuan pulled at where a normal bowstring would be.

In an instant, an orange-gold bowstring resembling an electric current appeared.

Chang Yuan immediately tried firing a shot. He did not use any force at all, only enough strength for even a baby to manage.

The instant that orange-gold arrow, formed entirely from condensed energy, shot out, a hole had already appeared at the point he had aimed at.

The hole appeared at almost exactly the same time the arrow was fired.

"Damn, that's terrifying. Big V Teacher, you're amazing."

With this bow, Chang Yuan felt that practically anyone would have the ability to kill a Herrscher.

"Don't celebrate too soon. Since this bow fires energy condensed from pure Honkai Energy, even touching the bowstring is fatal for people without sufficient Honkai resistance.

Only someone with Honkai resistance at your level can use this bow. Everyone else should avoid even touching it."

Seeing how happy Chang Yuan was, Velvie promptly explained its drawback.

But this drawback was practically irrelevant, because this bow had originally been meant for Airi.

"Wait, Big V Teacher, you didn't add any strange functions to this bow, did you?"

"Uh... ehehe."

At Chang Yuan's words, Velvie immediately scratched her cheek and looked away.

She had not expected Chang Yuan to understand her so well. He even knew that she liked adding little extra functions to the things she made.

"Fine, then what little extra function did you add to this bow?"

Seeing Velvie's expression, Chang Yuan knew there was no doubt that she had added something.

But what he cared about more was exactly what kind of extra function it was. Was it something like the Third Divine Key's lipstick function?

"Well, since the Herrscher of Void can connect to the Imaginary Space, I used that trait to give this bow a storage function. But the bow itself has to touch the item."

"That's all?"

Chang Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Damn, she had actually added such a practical ability? Had Big V Teacher really made this? Or had Big V Teacher actually been quite reliable in her early days?

"Uh, calling it storage is not quite accurate. More precisely, it is destruction. Anything stored inside has a ninety percent chance of vanishing due to the Imaginary Space."

"...Now that's more like it."

Hearing that it was such an unreliable ability, Chang Yuan finally nodded in satisfaction.

This was more in line with his impression of Big V Teacher.

She always added useless abilities to weapons, like this destruction function.

The bow itself needed to touch something in order to store and destroy it. If I'm using a bow, why are you making me fight in melee?

Though it did seem capable of producing unexpected effects at certain times, so it could not be called completely useless.

"Fine, whatever. But Big V Teacher, does it have a burst mode? You know, one that directly consumes all the energy in the Herrscher Core to unleash a powerful strike."

"Has your foresight reached this level already? You could even guess that?"

"So there really is one? Then what are the Second, First, and Zero Rated Outputs like?"

Seeing Chang Yuan's eager expression, Velvie had no intention of keeping him in suspense.

She immediately explained, "The Second Rated Output can open a portal at will and teleport to any location.

"The First Rated Output is an arrow based on its previous destruction ability. It teleports everything within a hundred-meter diameter of where the arrow lands into the Imaginary Space for destruction.

"The Zero Rated Output creates a space large enough to envelop an entire city for ten seconds. Within that space, nothing except the bow's wielder can move. Everything else is locked in place by the space itself."
