No, it wasn’t a chill.
Instead, it was the star energy pressure brought on by the gap in the Stellar Energy Index, which was suppressing his spirit!
Mo Yuan’s eyes shimmered with a purple light as he realized the truth.
However, the truth often hurts more than lies.
He could no longer maintain his calm expression; he could only stare at Yun Ruoxi in utter shock.
‘Has the gap between our Stellar Energy Indexes truly reached the point where it can manifest as pressure?’
‘How could this be possible?!’
‘It has only been three days since our last fight!’
‘And during our clash just now, I didn’t feel such a massive difference between us!’
‘Why did everything change so suddenly?’
‘Could it be…?’
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth!
Mo Yuan swallowed hard.
‘Was Xinglan hiding her strength?!’
Yun Ruoxi: ‘I’m sorry. To marry my little boyfriend and bring him home, I have to stop them from leaving this place, so I had to hide my strength.’
“666, turns out there’s someone even more devious here.”
“Yun Ruoxi is incredibly deep.”
“Is Yun Ruoxi really not the female lead of some power-fantasy novel? She even knows how to hide part of her strength and play the pig to eat the tiger. Mo Yuan’s expression clearly shows he’s stunned. It’s hilarious.”
The strength she gained through the system was incredibly solid. Under Yun Ruoxi’s S-Rank Brain Domain Computation and Stellar Energy Control, it was perfectly mastered.
Yet, she allowed her telekinesis to overflow from her body as if it were out of control, causing her waist-length hair to flutter in the air.
Beneath her short-collared jacket, her right leg was slightly raised while her left leg was naturally extended.
She lightly caressed her own body and exerted a bit of force.
Her eight-pack abs became visible through her Starforce Battlesuit, and her small, cute navel dipped inward below them.
With just this one movement, she showcased her incredible proportions to the fullest.
Only her chest, which rose like small steamed buns, could be considered one of her few flaws — or perhaps a regret.
But considering her age, this size was actually quite fitting.
Not a millimeter too large, nor a millimeter too small.
Moreover, in the eyes of some people, this size was the most beautiful, making them want to lick their screens right then and there.
“So lewd, so lewd. How can a loli be this lewd?”
“Xiao Xi is just too good at this.”
“Mo Yuan is going to be so lucky in the future. He probably won’t even be able to get out of bed.”
“Hold it in and do it!”
“The spaceship, or your friends?” The blue-haired girl held her hands against her flushing cheeks, a sharp glint in her eyes. “Only weak and incompetent fools make choices time and time again.”
“I, Xinglan, am a true Strong. I want it all!”
“So cool!”
“Mad Xiao Xi!”
“Only girls make choices; as a loli, I want everything.”
???
Yun Ruoxi clenched her fist tightly. Terrifying telekinesis erupted from her body like a tsunami, crashing toward the tree god guard and the Combatant.
This telekinesis was so massive that the light along its path refracted subtly, giving it a hazy yet lethal beauty.
As her voice fell and the telekinesis surged, Yun Ruoxi’s physical body, wrapped in the remaining telekinesis, transformed into a terrifying white light and charged toward the star falling chess board on the ground.
‘Mo Yuan, you can use your myriad of supernatural powers to stall me and prevent me from defeating you directly to end the [Star Falling Chess].’
‘You can run, but let’s see you try to run while carrying the board and the pieces!’
*Bang!*
The white light slammed into the barrier of the board, and a terrifying shockwave swept out in all directions.
The ground trembled.
Seeing this, Mo Yuan’s heart leaped into his throat. It wasn’t until the dust was sucked away by a nearby tornado that he saw the undamaged barrier and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Luckily, luckily… even Xinglan shouldn’t be able to — ‘
*Bang!*
Another terrifying collision. Seeing that her first strike was ineffective, Yun Ruoxi pulled back and charged again.
Still ineffective? Then try again!
The tree god guard and the Combatant were knocked to the ground by the violent telekinesis, pinned down and unable to move. Meanwhile, Yun Ruoxi slammed into the board again and again.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Massive ripples formed on the surface of the barrier until, finally, with a *crack*, a huge, winding fissure appeared.
‘S-She actually broke it?’
Mo Yuan stood there dumbfounded, hardly believing his eyes.
This [Star Falling Chess] was a top-tier supernatural power from the Pandora-32 War Camp.
When he had first encountered the user, he had used every trick in the book but couldn’t break the barrier.
In the end, he had to win the game itself by relying on his other supernatural powers and raw strength.
But now, this seemingly unbreakable barrier was actually about to shatter?
Yun Ruoxi looked at the winding crack and stopped her charging.
She took a deep breath and began to unleash a flurry of blows against the fissure.
*Ora ora ora!*
*Ora ora ora!*
With the enhancement of her telekinesis, each of her punches carried immense strength, comparable to a Combatant’s standard ultimate technique.
The barrier became like the surface of a lake in the rain, rippling and shaking violently as the cracks spread with extreme speed.
“Rubber Gun Volley!”
“The Production Team really has something going on. So many memes and tributes.”
“The final punch!”
Yun Ruoxi looked at the cracks that now covered the barrier like a spiderweb. With a sharp cry, she threw one last punch.
*Crack!*
A crisp sound echoed across the battlefield.
Under Mo Yuan’s stunned gaze, the barrier shattered into countless points of light. The pillars of light on the grid disappeared one by one.
The illusory chess pieces dissipated like bubbles.
Zi Jiu and the others, who had been trapped within the board, immediately regained their freedom.
They looked up at Yun Ruoxi, who was floating in the air, and saw her reddened knuckles from the frantic punching. With complex expressions, they ran past her one by one, heading toward the spaceship.
“Go on, all of you!”
The corners of Yun Ruoxi’s mouth curled upward.
She looked at Mo Yuan, who had regained his composure and was now wearing a look of coldness.
At the same time, she suddenly reached out behind her.
Under her control, the violent telekinesis knocked the tree god guards and Combatants unconscious.
These tree god guards and Combatants were only at the level of middle-tier trainees.
However, if they were allowed to act freely and use their full strength together, even Yun Ruoxi would find it troublesome.
Therefore, she took this opportunity while they were caught off guard to take them all down.
Yun Ruoxi had originally expected Mo Yuan to move to protect them in order to preserve his combat strength, but to her surprise, Mo Yuan just watched coldly as it all happened.
It was as if these fallen tree god guards and Combatants weren’t his subordinates at all.
“Mo Yuan, what are you waiting for?” Yun Ruoxi asked, estimating the time.
“I was thinking…” Mo Yuan touched his neck collar. “Did Bo Shi see all of this?”
