I, with my frail and sickly body, simultaneously traverse hundreds of worlds.

"Rita, eat up! Why aren't you eating? There are eight dishes and a soup. Durandal isn't here. With the two of us eating, it'll definitely be enough."

After eating a few bites, Bai Zhi noticed that the maid on the other side of the table wasn't moving, so she asked her out of curiosity and urged her to eat with her.

"Lord Paimon, I'm glad you like it. It hasn't been in vain that I specially trained you in Chinese cuisine." The maid maintained her smile, quietly watching the boy wolf down his food. Seeing him eating so happily, she was indeed in a good mood, but...

"Lord Paimon, this dormitory is our shared temporary residence. I hope you will stop littering and making a mess this once."

Well, when Rita went to report to Otto and Bai Zhi, she deliberately made the room messy before leaving to buy as much time as possible. I thought I would need to help Rita tidy up when I returned, but I didn't expect that the maid had even prepared dinner when I came back.

Thank goodness.

"I was just going to do what I was supposed to do. Didn't you remind me after school this afternoon that time was running out and we should hurry up if we were going to cause trouble?" Bai Zhi said shamelessly.

"Hehe, in the aftermath of the Third Honkai Outbreak, Lady Theresa reported information about two pseudo-Herrschers. Headquarters specially arranged for a special envoy to handle it. His Excellency the Bishop is very dedicated to this."

Whether or not surveillance is involved is a taboo subject, so Rita took the initiative to change the subject. Bai Zhi was happy to see this happen. His intention to stay away from Destiny did not mean that he and Destiny were enemies.

Putting aside the relationship between the monitor and the monitor, Rita and Bai Zhi seem to have a good relationship on the surface, otherwise the latter wouldn't be so familiar with each other and start eating without even saying anything wrong.

Since we're not planning to continue monitoring things behind the scenes, let's talk about the work on the surface.

"Oh, Otto plans to use St. Freya as a cage to seal the Herrschers. He's not taking the safety of those students seriously enough."

"One Herrscher and three Herrschers, in a sense, St. Freya Academy was built on nuclear weapons long ago, the only difference being the yield."

The information revealed in Bai Zhi and Rita's conversation was cold and ruthless; no one suggested disbanding the academy.

Theresa will not let Kiana leave. Kiana is an indispensable pillar in Raiden Mei's heart. Bronya must stay by Raiden Mei's side for Seele's sake. In the original timeline, the relationship between these three heroines is complicated.

Whether there are one or three time bombs, they will all explode.

"So, Lord Paimon, whether you plan to stay in St. Freya for the next few days or return to Schicksal headquarters, Lord Durandal will certainly welcome you home."

"No, no, that guy's level of intense training is beyond my limits. If it continues, I'm afraid I'll really become Durandal's training tool. I've arranged to train with Fu Hua tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I'm going to Changkong City, and then I'll take a warship back to the Destiny Headquarters. Rita, come with me these few days. Come to think of it, it seems like we haven't had any time alone together in a long time."

"Hehe~ It's Rita's pleasure."

St. Freya's nights belong to hard-working students. The brightly lit training grounds are bustling with activity, every table in the quiet library is occupied, and students inside and outside the playground and shopping street are expressing their youthful energy.

Those with talent strive to improve themselves, while the incompetent indulge themselves and enjoy their youth.

The fundamental reason why Durandal was unwilling to stay in St. Freya was this: a Valkyrie with poor talent, who kept talking about enjoying the youthful years of a girl, selectively forgot about the Honkai apocalypse she would face in the future, which was irresponsible to herself and the companions who had entrusted their backs to her.

Indulgence is not a reason for depravity.

But like I said, what does it have to do with me?

Wearing green dinosaur pajamas, Bai Zhi closed the window, turned on the air conditioner, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and prepared to drift off to sleep.

Goodnight, St. Freya. Goodnight, Valkyries. Sweet dreams.

...... ......

Everything went black before my eyes, my consciousness gradually faded, and my thoughts seemed to fall from a great height into an abyss.

It was a city, a dilapidated city with exposed steel bars and towering buildings.

A city that is constantly changing and illusory, with the sun and moon occupying opposite ends of the city, and occasionally exhibiting bugs such as misalignment, passing through walls, and pixelation.

The city streets and alleys are teeming with Honkai Beasts, with lower-ranking Rush-class Honkai Beasts roaming in droves, and the high-ranking Honkai Emperor Parvati wreaking havoc on the city.

There was no sign of living people, and the city was gray and white, except for three areas that were painted in bright colors.

First, there's Yae Village, a memorial village where cherry blossoms are scattered throughout.

Secondly, the dilapidated Senba Academy, shrouded in swirling vegetation and permeated with poisonous mist.

Thirdly, the thunderous and resounding kendo hall, Hokushin Ittō-ryū.

This is Changkong City.

Changkong City was destroyed after the Third Collapse.

Changkong City, unique to Baizhi.

The wind howled, and Bai Zhi fell from a thousand meters above Changkong City, just as she had imagined.

"The shared abilities of the various Heavenly Angelica are all unique and can be divided into several regions based on their characteristics: the Greek theocracy, the Originium of the Ark, my Honkai, the Wandering Gun Technique of the Celestial Realm, the evolution of Pokémon, the data core of Digimon, the data processing of Sword Art Online, and One-Punch Man is still unknown, but it is most likely a limiter."

The city grew ever larger in Bai Zhi's sight. Many Honkai Beasts noticed the whooshing sound falling from the sky. Those Honkai Beasts with the ability to fly attacked Bai Zhi on instinct. Even some Honkai Beasts without the ability to fly suddenly took to the sky, executing the instincts etched into their genes.

"Physical skills and physical fitness, as well as mental strength, are the shared and loaded items that every Bai Zhi will inevitably choose. The amplification and status brought by Greek divine authority are everyone's first choice, while the other abilities are chosen according to individual needs. After all, the frail bodies of each Bai Zhi due to factors before transmigrating will affect the sharing of abilities. It is best to carefully consider the flaws in the abilities, except for me—"

He spread his hands and drew two Arbiter's Blades, glowing with purple light, from his empty waist. A translucent halo like a crown of thorns floated above his head, and three pairs of wings sprouted from his back. He leaped and spun around, the sound of triggers being pulled in unison, a storm of bullets sweeping over the enemy and tearing them to shreds!

"No taboos."

Within this shared Kyubeymon digital core, using Kirito's data processing, the memory data of Raiden Mei, Yae Sakura, Yuno, and Bai Zhi herself were loaded and embedded within the Originium Heart, constructing Bai Zhi's unique dream realm, Changkong City.

Honkai Impact 3rd Serpent Solo Fan: Chapter 49, Crimson Kite Immortal, I Want to Learn the Void Sword Qi

The three forbidden zones of Dreamland Sky City.

Erosion of the Ghostly Yae Village

The capricious cherry blossoms, transformed into ghostly shadows, laughed and roared, suddenly burrowed into the blood, flesh, skin, and bones of the human body. They seemed to have their own consciousness, tearing apart the entirety of the human being. The clothes covering the body swayed in the wind, and the revolver that attacked made a clattering sound. It was a paradise for the dead and a hell for the living.

Thousand Feather Academy of Living Poison Forest —

In the cracks of the wall tiles, in the invisible corners of the stairs, behind the classroom door, in the ceiling lights, in places out of sight, endless vines grow and spread. Touching the vines causes poisoning, breathing in the dust causes poisoning. Thousand Feather Academy is shrouded in a dark green jungle, a forbidden zone for humans.

Thunder Killer's Northern Star Sword Dojo -

The killing sword techniques on the battlefield are all aimed at stripping the opponent of their combat power and ending the battle quickly and without injury. The Hokushin Ittō-ryū style may be ineffective against the huge Honkai Beasts, but if it encounters a humanoid enemy, it will become an unforgettable nightmare for them.

In the digital world, an ordinary computer can create a digital island, where Herrschers exist in a higher realm, angels who transcend humanity.

By leveraging the power and status of the sun and moon, and achieving great things with limited resources, Changkong City is a product of Bai Zhi's efforts.

As long as the unstable and erratic assessments don't collapse, Bai Zhi is confident she can continue to hold on, at least within the dream world...

The morning sunlight streamed into the dormitory through the window. The boy, bathed in sunlight on his bed, was relieved of the lethargy from a night of nightmares. He slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his throbbing head, straightened his back, and glanced at the clock on the wall. It was exactly eight o'clock. There was still half an hour before class. He prepared to get up and wash.

"How many times did I die last night? I can't even count them. In the future, I will copy similar technology from the Paradise of the Past and combine it with the data space of Aincrad to open up a multiplayer mode in the dream world. I must let Durandal experience it, otherwise it would be a waste of the suffering he endured during his year-long involution."

While eating the bacon and ham sandwich prepared by Rita, Bai Zhi took out Bronya's Houmu-themed smartphone and asked for half a day off for him and Fu Hua. They had agreed yesterday to receive instruction from each other in the training room today.

With little time remaining, according to the established plan, Bai Zhi only has today left in St. Freya, excluding the preparation time for heading to Changkong City.

Bai Zhi must learn Fu Hua's family's Inch Heart Fist technique and the Divine Sound Void Sword Qi developed by Dr. Mei and Apollonia within half a day.

It's not impossible; the process only requires a small price to pay.

"Young Master Paimon, please be careful on your way to school."

As if she were Bai Zhi’s personal maid, Rita saw the young master off in front of the dormitory. Rita’s eyes narrowed as the young master left.

Without my knowledge when Paimon got his new phone, how many messages did he send out, and what was his purpose in coming to St. Freya? Was he perhaps meeting with the person behind the scenes?

Bai Zhi is an artificial human personally cultivated by Otto. He has never left his surveillance, so why does he know so much information that he shouldn't know? This is something that Otto and Rita find very puzzling. Otto never imagined that the Destiny he had managed for five hundred years would actually hide an ambitious person he was unaware of.

What does the other party intend to do through Paimon? Rita's mission is to monitor Bai Zhi while also finding out who is behind her.

Unfortunately, due to a lack of intelligence, the entire hypothesis was wrong from beginning to end.

Bai Zhi had some guesses, after all, distracting Rita was part of his plan, so...

"Immortal Crimson Kite, I want to learn the Void Sword Qi!"

In the training ground, Bai Zhi, dressed in black training clothes, bowed and requested that Fu Hua, dressed in blue training clothes, address her as class monitor or classmate Fu Hua. Then, she changed the subject and began reciting the sword incantation and form of the Taixu Sword Qi.

"The Tai Xu Sword Qi has four realms: Still Water, Dustless, Clear Mirror, and Tai Xu. The limit that a man can cultivate is Dustless." Fu Hua pointed out the special features and drawbacks of the Tai Xu Sword Qi to Bai Zhi: "Youth is the best time to temper one's sword heart; the earlier, the purer it will be. For adults, cultivating the sword heart is like trying to grasp the wind with one's palm—it's all in vain. Even if one's sword heart is perfected, it still needs to be tempered throughout one's life. If there is the slightest wavering, the sword heart will break."

"I don't recommend you practice the Void Sword Qi; it's not suitable for you."

"If the Sword God of the Void is not suitable, then please teach me the 'Sword Heart Technique'."

The "Sword Heart Technique" is a strange and inexplicable string of syllables, consisting of 462 notes. It has no written record and is meaningless in itself. Its mystery lies in the fact that reciting, chanting, and listening to it can refine the mind. When the mind is calm, the lake becomes still; when the lake freezes, it becomes dust-free; when the ice is clear, it becomes a bright mirror; when the mind's energy is formless, it becomes the Great Void.

At its core, Dr. Mei uses syllables and melodies to refine the body and stigmata, theoretically maximizing the Honkai energy resistance of ordinary people, to the point that they can ignore the erosion of Honkai energy and treat it as nothing.

“I’m not surprised that you know about the ‘Sword Heart Technique,’ but I don’t understand why you chose to cultivate it. The Taixu Sword Qi has five elements, but you only chose the Heart element. Because of your gender, you cannot reach the ‘Taixu’ realm, and therefore cannot comprehend the ‘Divine’ realm.”

The divine is the ultimate of change. Even without a sword, there is a sword; the sword is formed by the divine, its energy spontaneously generated, thus connecting with the divine essence. The divine is the ultimate of change, the wondrous essence of all things, beyond the reach of form. It has neither form nor needs form; this sword fills space, this sword is space itself. Therefore, it is omnipresent and invincible.

The ultimate killing move of the Taixu Sword Qi, 'Taixu Sword God,' is beyond your reach. I foresee you walking down a path destined for failure, and I strongly advise you not to embark on this deadly path.

"To be honest, my strength has improved too quickly, exceeding my personal limits. I lack control over my power and my mental state is inadequate. Even if the 'Sword Heart Technique' only reaches the 'Dustless' stage, it is still enough to benefit me for life."

Bai Zhi and Fan Er racetrack share various powers, making conflict inevitable. Their powers restrain and influence each other. The fact that she didn't explode and die is already due to the world's rules being modified, plus the strength of the Kaslana bloodline. However, one thing cannot be denied: Bai Zhi ultimately cannot use her full strength.

Is the Taixu Sword Qi unsuitable? This may be true for the natives of this world, but it is different for Bai Zhi. The essence of her divine essence is to shape and extend Honkai energy. By analogy, it is also to shape and extend the energy within the body.

The Great Void Sword God—he might be able to glimpse some of his abilities in the future.

With her mind in disarray, Fu Hua seemed to hear a lingering echo before her eyes. Someone had said the same thing before, and how did she respond back then?

"Give me a hand." With his left foot on the ground, Fu Hua adopted the stance of the Inch Heart Fist Technique. Between martial artists, verbal communication is not as clear as physical contact.

"Thank you." Straightening her back, Bai Zhi lightly touched the ground with her toes. The guidance of a master with fifty thousand years of experience—a situation many dream of—she would display the full extent of her physical skills, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

next moment.

The swift, instant kick collided with the powerful, weighty inch-heart punch.

boom--

A blast of air was created.

The raw power of fists and unrestrained free kicks intertwined, creating several afterimages within a small space on the training field...

Honkai Impact 3rd Serpent Soloist: Chapter 50 Conditions

"A fighting instinct ingrained in your bones, movements streamlined to the extreme, combat experience that allows you to foresee your enemy—I've given it my all, yet not a single attack has been effective. Just how powerful are you, Squad Leader Fu Hua?"

Straightening her arms, Bai Zhi accepted Fu Hua's bandage to fix her bones and joints, and had safflower oil applied to the bruises. She gasped in shock.

Serious injury? No, not really. It hurts, but at most it's just skin and flesh damage. The internal organs and bones have only suffered some shock. With the Kaslana bloodline, a few hours of rest should be enough.

Only those who are known to have absolute control over the battle situation have the capacity to control the damage inflicted by their opponents, even if it hurts.

Bai Zhi knew that when she regained her memories, held the Key of Control, and after 50,000 years of divine sound refinement, Fu Hua's full-force artificial collapse would no longer be considered an improvement, but an ascension. In the collapsed world, apart from the power of the end, she could even fight Kevin.

"I am not strong. Strength needs to be accumulated little by little over time. In short, learn more, practice more, and persevere in your training. Your talent is quite good. During the battle, you consciously corrected your body movements and used your five senses to detect my attacks. Very good, indeed very good."

Fu Hua meticulously treated Bai Zhi's injuries. Her blue tracksuit was stained with a little dust, but otherwise, there were no other marks.

“I spoke with Otto about you yesterday. He told me the purpose of your trip: the impact of the Great Collapse of Changkong City is urgent. I will only teach you once; you can return to headquarters to continue your training.”

"Well, even if I wanted to rest, Durandal wouldn't let me."

Bai Zhi's eyes flickered; Fu Hua had clearly demonstrated his grasp of the information about Bai Zhi. So, what about the android's identity? Was Fu Hua an honest man, or was Otto hiding it?

"I've heard a little about Durandal's training. It's tiring and painful, but it's something you have to do. You shed more tears in training and less blood in battle. You're always almost there in training, but you're always just a little short in battle. You should know that sometimes it's this little bit that can cost you your life."

In the physical combat just now, Bai Zhi did not inflict any effective damage. If it weren't for her absolute confidence in the Bai Zhi Space, she would have almost collapsed.

Looking at Bai Zhi's eyes and expression, Fu Hua saw no frustration or confusion. He nodded to himself. Martial arts training begins with internal energy cultivation. As long as one's breath remains strong, there is a possibility of progress. After bandaging his wounds, Fu Hua began to explain the points that could be improved during the battle.

"Speed, strength, and physical attributes are all excellent, but you have one fatal flaw: your fighting style is not suitable for you."

After a battle that transcends human history and connects hearts through fists, Fu Hua sensed something amiss.

This puzzled her. Everyone's fighting style is an instinct accumulated little by little from actual combat. When it is most comfortable to throw a punch, when it is most appropriate to raise a leg, the height of the jump, and the degree of squatting should be the most suitable style for each person.

"Your movements are always incongruous, as if they are a mixture of the fighting habits of several people, a hybrid accumulation. Your moves are not methodical, yet they lack inspiration. How strange."

Fu Hua could only guess one reason: Bai Zhi's combat experience was forcibly bestowed upon her by others, and coincidentally, she also had similar methods.

The eighth divine key, Yu Duchen.

As far as she knew, the only person who could use the same method was Otto. So the question is, what exactly were Otto's preparations for?

Fu Hua dared not gamble, much less take risks. Shenzhou needed the help of destiny, and she could not afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.

That's why the affection she felt for Cheng Lixue and the familiar shadow from yesterday was gradually buried deep in her heart.

"I can teach you the 'Sword Heart Technique' and help you practice moves. Improving your combat experience won't be difficult either. In return, you must agree to one condition."

“Speak freely. I am determined to obtain the ‘Sword Heart Technique.’ I will agree to any conditions, let alone just one.”

Bai Zhi's lips twitched, but she still patted her chest and assured him.

Yesterday I threatened Bronya and Raiden Mei with the Far Eastern style, but now the tables have turned and it's my turn.
