Leaving aside Xing Lan’s terrifying combat strength, how could he possibly like someone else in an environment like the battle camp!
I just…think Xing Lan is really good-looking.
Hai Ren turned his head, hiding the flush at the tips of his ears, as if to cover up his guilty conscience. He hefted his alloy longsword and charged toward the trainee he had kicked flying earlier.
“Lao Lin’s love rival has appeared!”
“He’s just a minor character who’s only shown up a few times—what right does he have to be my Lin Zhen’s love rival ()”
“Taking Xiao Ai away”
“Hm? That guy Hai Ren… actually likes me?”
Yun Ruoxi snuck a quick glance at the barrage of comments amidst her busy actions.
Actually, Hai Ren’s guess was spot on.
It was only after she noticed the camera suddenly turn to her that she started putting on such a show.
So in the eyes of others who couldn’t see the camera, it really did seem like she’d gotten excited out of nowhere.
But she hadn’t expected that Hai Ren would actually like her.
Then again, it made sense.
Young people are prone to admiring the opposite sex; it’s just a part of youth.
With this face, even if she didn’t have any talent and was just a pretty face, she’d still attract plenty of admirers.
Add to that her abilities and her cute personality—even the steady Lin Zhen was bewitched by her.
Thinking of Lin Zhen’s funny behavior that night, the corners of Yun Ruoxi’s lips began to lift.
Just giving him a bit of fan service had him flustered like that; she really didn’t know whether to say he was too upright or just too rigid.
Yun Ruoxi swept her hand across the battlefield, and a giant telekinetic hand sent all the trainees below flying.
Probably too upright.
After all, if Lin Zhen was truly rigid, he couldn’t have come this far.
Lost in her wandering thoughts while “fishing,” Yun Ruoxi fought her way into the base.
She wasn’t worried about Lin Zhen’s safety.
After all, it was a scene that had appeared in the original storyline.
And even if nothing new happened, as the “protagonist,” Lin Zhen’s rank meant he’d never truly face a life-and-death crisis.
After all, if the “protagonist” was gone, how would the last four episodes of season one of even play out?
At the entrance of the control center.
Mo Yuan sat cross-legged. Seeing Yun Ruoxi rapidly flying over, he slowly rose to his feet.
“I waited here because I knew you’d come. Ever since that day, the two of us have been entwined in endless conflict, and it will never stop.”
Who wants to be entwined with you… Yun Ruoxi grumbled inwardly, and when she saw the barrage of “MoXi CP” shippers—those brainless fans who shipped anything—she felt an even greater sense of disgust.
Seriously, who wants to be paired with this pervert?
Besides, maybe this guy has lost to her so many times lately that he’s started spouting nonsense.
Entwined, huh.
You’re nothing but someone I’ve already beaten!
Yun Ruoxi rose higher, flipped her right hand downward, and flashed a cool expression to the camera.
“This time, I’ll step over you and reach the top—take position 0001!”
“Oh? Maybe I’m not your match now… but position 0001 is right here. If you want it, come get it yourself!”
Mo Yuan let out a roar and switched to his telekinetic power.
Two terrifying psychic forces collided and clashed in mid-air, causing the alloy ground nearby to cave in inch by inch.
It didn’t take long for Mo Yuan, whose stellar energy level was clearly lower than Yun Ruoxi’s, to be pushed back first.
Then, with no other choice, he began to split his psychic energy, trying to counterattack with precise control of his powers.
But in this respect, Yun Ruoxi was even stronger than he was.
Her lips curled upward.
Her long blue hair floated upward as she raised both hands high over her head, her slender figure on full display.
At the same time, her psychic power split into hundreds of streams.
After blocking all of Mo Yuan’s psychic attacks one-on-one, over a hundred more threads surged toward him.
Helpless, Mo Yuan could only switch to another power, giving up on a direct telekinetic clash with Yun Ruoxi.
“How is Xiao Xi looking more and more like Long Juan (bushi)”
“It’s different, Xiao Xi is better looking than Long Juan, but she doesn’t wear such revealing clothes as Long Juan.”
“Can the production team please give us a qipao, thong, and little leather shoes? Don’t make me get down on my knees and beg you.”
But even with all sorts of powers, Mo Yuan couldn’t do anything to Yun Ruoxi. With such a huge gap in stellar energy, his abilities hardly affected her.
Whenever a high-speed ability closed in on Yun Ruoxi, it was trapped by the viscous field of psychic force around her.
And high-damage abilities either couldn’t hit her at all, or simply couldn’t break through her turtle-shell-like psychic shield.
Mental control abilities, thanks to Yun Ruoxi’s S-rank mental strength, couldn’t hold her for even a few seconds.
This situation had become the norm in Mo Yuan and Yun Ruoxi’s clashes ever since their psychic awakenings.
Mo Yuan lost every time, but never admitted defeat, relying on his huge arsenal of abilities to be slippery as ever.
Each time, it would go on until he ran out of stellar energy and Yun Ruoxi finally knocked him out with a single blow.
If he couldn’t win, he’d at least make things as miserable as possible for Yun Ruoxi.
This time was no different.
Mo Yuan, like a pesky fly, dragged things out until his stellar energy was depleted, then Yun Ruoxi, exhausted, finished him with one blow.
“Lao Mo’s fighting is too funny—like a little kid throwing hundreds of punches at an adult and nothing happens, then the adult just flicks his forehead and knocks him down.”
“That’s the beauty of stats, don’t even ask.”
“This is Lao Xi’s hard work and sweat—both hard work and sweat are all on Mo Yuan’s head ()”
“Mo Yuan is a real skill machine, but it’s just too bad he can’t break through her defenses.”
After defeating Mo Yuan, Yun Ruoxi entered Class 9’s secret key into Base 1’s core system.
Officially declaring victory in this battle.
At the same time—
It also meant the class group battle was drawing to a close.
Only Yun Ruoxi’s team and Class 8 remained for the final showdown.
Class 6’s Shun Ying was quite the schemer.
Before Yun Ruoxi could react, he tried to team up with Class 8 and Class 3 to take out Class 9 first.
Yun Ruoxi thought Lin Zhen would refuse.
Who knew that after safely coming out of the ancient battlefield, the kid agreed to their request right away, without a single thought for their personal friendship.
As a result—
Yun Ruoxi’s Class 9 became isolated, facing a three-team siege.
Even though Yun Ruoxi had absolute combat strength, always winning more than losing like Xiang Yu on the battlefield—
The difference in numbers forced her to keep retreating, until she was trapped in the last remaining Base 1.
After a brutal three-hour battle, nearly all the trainees from Class 9 had lost the strength to fight.
Only Yun Ruoxi, with her stellar energy almost depleted, and Ai Li, whom she had protected all this time, were left.
Surrounded by hundreds of people.
She hesitated for a moment as Lin Zhen and Shun Ying came to persuade her to surrender, but in the end, chose to resist to the bitter end, using up her last bit of stellar energy to knock Shun Ying out when he let his guard down.
Then she was completely drained.
She collapsed into Lin Zhen’s arms, face pale and unhappy.
She watched helplessly as Zi Jiu and the others charged into the control center, taking control of the last base.
