Chapter 1968
Yu Xunge stopped thinking about the other timeline and began to focus all her efforts on dealing with Zhu Ri.
At this point, her health points were below 150, while Zhuri still had over 200.
But now that she has realized that the other party's method is hypnosis rather than time manipulation, Yu Xunge has many more ways to deal with it.
Let's try borrowing it using the SSS-level skill "Borrow and Return".
Undoubtedly a failure.
This may also be the reason why the SSS-level skill [Legendary Prologue] is ineffective: "As long as the fire of your will has not been extinguished, you cannot be controlled or bewitched by any mental skills below the SSS level."
The strange skill of the Sun Chaser is a divine skill.
Yu Xunge closed his eyes and began to clear his mind, focusing all his attention on the battle in front of him.
Moreover, when she realized that even with her eyes closed, the glowing hands of the clock still illuminated her dim vision, golden lightning transformed into a ribbon that automatically encircled her eyes.
The golden thunder completely switched its perspective and severed some hidden connection and perception.
Zhu Ri's calm expression, which had remained unchanged since the start of the battle, broke into a smile: "As expected of Zhu Ri's apprentice."
Yu Xunge: "...President Zhu, please don't speak."
day by day:???
They're saying some weird things again. I'll look into it after the game is over.
Clearing your mind is a fundamental skill, an essential lesson for both alchemy and combat.
When Yu Xunge focused on the battle and banished the time pointer from her sight and consciousness, she could sense that her speed was slowly increasing. Perhaps it had only recovered to 50% of her normal speed, but it was still much better than before.
However, the [Absurd Story] that was previously sealed within her remains unsealed. It wasn't a seal in the first place; rather, after she was hypnotized, she used [Personal Settings] to disable the passive effect of this skill. The hypnosis was already complete, and she cannot undo it.
It wasn't enough that time had just returned to normal; the apprentice was still retreating step by step. Unable to see, she could only rely on her senses and hearing to judge the attacks coming from each day.
As a legendary assassin, Zhu Ri can attack and move without disturbing the wind whenever she wants.
The Flower Crown Murders spread, and Yu Xunge tried to use the flowers to track Zhu Ri's movements. In the dense rain of white flowers, the elves and apprentices were no longer engaged in a one-sided chase and kill; the apprentices began to fight back.
Everything has returned to the beginning, just like the recent battle between Chasing the Sun and the Wasteland.
Neither of them used any skills; the apprentice, wielding the two daggers given to him by the gods, faced the sun.
Defeat, Blood Drinker, Throat Slitting, Backstab, Bone Removal, Severing Technique, Wildfire!
Beneath the starry sky, atop the clock face, the two wielded the same dagger and employed the same combat techniques.
The white flower rain surrounding the two of them would occasionally twirl and spin along their attack trajectories, or explode like cannon fire.
The gap in health points began to narrow until they finally became equal.
50:50
But neither side seemed inclined to stop and say anything.
Yu Xunge showed no intention of holding back.
Just as she thought back then in the game of Tianhu Haoqi, Zhu Ri doesn't need pity.
But just as she wished, she no longer wanted to look up at the sun!
The dagger was illuminated by the shattered stars above the starry sea, drawing streaks of silver light in the air.
The fluttering white petals recombine into flower branches, and the cloak behind the elf and the golden lightning ribbon blindfolded by the apprentice hang down naturally.
The battle was over, but the players remained on the field, showing no sign of leaving.
But the game didn't rush the two players on the field, because the light between their foreheads was lit up again.
"Dominate" and "Chase the Sun".
The stands were completely silent.
Everyone was pondering the divine talent words of the two individuals, and everyone was also thinking about who would win this game...
Even though it's only the second day of the competition, and there are still dozens of matches to go, everyone can already tell who the winner is...
To date, it has defeated Fogblade, Sun Chaser, Cicada Cicada, Prayer, and Grapefruit's Wine-Carrying Song.
Who else could it be but her?
Zhu Ri's strength and ability were unexpected and shocking, yet Zai Jiu Xun Ge still managed to win.
Moreover, after the Wildfire of the Dead disappeared, there was still a lot of Soul Fire left in the light and shadow between this person's eyebrows, making it difficult to determine whether her divine talent ability was simply to summon herself from another timeline.
More importantly, the person standing on the battlefield with their eyes closed at this moment has a surging light and shadow between their brows. After the match ended, the God Game restored the soul fire consumed by both sides, but at this moment, the flowing soul fire in the light and shadow between their brows is slowly increasing.
Although the increase wasn't as dramatic as before, they were already ahead of everyone else...
The lightning that had blinded them dissipated, turning back into a light rain that fell on the master and his apprentice.
The comet cluster that shot up between Yu Xunge's eyebrows had already illuminated one-third of its outline, but only one-fifth of the soul fire within the outline, which seemed to have a tangible presence and flow with its master's movements as if it were burning fiercely, remained.
[Divine Talent]: "Dominator" (Current progress 32% | Soul Fire: 22/32)
You control everything, you decide everything, you influence everything.
[Ability]: Loading and saving game files.
A mere 2% increase was not enough for her to acquire new abilities.
This made her curious about the Sun Chaser's abilities; half of the other's crown had been lit up.
Surely a CEO can't only have one ability like "wanting something every day and getting it every day," right?
After confirming that he had fully comprehended his divine talent words, Yu Xunge quietly waited for each day to complete its comprehension.
To her shock, the crown between Zhu Ri's eyebrows had already reached nearly 80% brightness.
Since the opponent confirmed their divine talent term "Chasing the Sun," it's only been about the length of a single match, right?!
Is she really that talented?
When Zhu Ri opened his eyes, Yu Xunge couldn't wait to rush to his side. Just as she had expected, Zhu Ri did not have any negative emotions such as jealousy because he lost to the apprentice.
Of course, she was unhappy—the elf was often unhappy—but she didn't resent her apprentice because of it, nor did she regret teaching and helping her apprentice.
Yu Xunge asked incredulously, "Your progress in the Divine Talent Word is already 80%?"
Zhu Ri crossed her arms and walked towards the stands. She glanced at the shooting star pattern on the apprentice's forehead, and her mood improved. She asked, "Hmm, what's wrong?"
"It's just one game!"
"Yeah, isn't that long enough?"
“…Zhu Ri, you’re really irritating.”
"Thank you, but it's infuriating even if you don't say anything."
The two returned to the stands, bickering. Yu Xunge was then intercepted by Queque and Fuxiao Xianchan, who questioned him about the story of that timeline.
As he walked up to Huang Jin, he stopped and gave the latter a smug smile: "My progress in the Godly Talent Word is faster than yours."
Here we go again… Huang Jin smiled helplessly.
As the new match began, Huang Jin said softly, "All living beings should chase after you, but you chase after the sun, right?"
This is the meaning of the innate words of the Sun-Chasing God.
"Keep your voice down, I'd rather die than admit to the second half of that sentence, disgusting! Besides, I didn't even light up the whole thing."
The elf's irritable tone amused her, and her laughter drew the curious gazes of the apprentices.
Surrounded by her classmates, the apprentice leaned back slightly and looked over. Huang Jin waved to her, and the apprentice immediately waved back with a big smile, also waving to Zhu Ri as well.
But presumably, Zhu Ri made some infuriating expression behind him, because the apprentice waved at Zhu Ri for half a moment before his face fell and he angrily turned his head back.
"Perhaps it's because some of your ideals are still on their way," Huang Jin said with a smile.
