Marvelous Mecha

"Ha, I was thinking the same thing. If she can defeat Feng Luo, then I lose."

Sky Shadow agreed readily. Before long, Feng Luo was called back to his side. As a warrior who's been through countless battles, how could Feng Luo possibly lose to Zi Yu?

"Zi Yu, give it a try with him, use all your strength."

"No need to mention, this time big sis won't go easy on you," Zi Yu said with a slightly provocative raise of her eyebrows.

Feng Luo was shocked. This girl was several years younger, yet claimed to be the older sister. Who gave her such courage, was it Leung Ching-Yu? That Cosmic Level superstar?

But Feng Luo didn't let his surprise show. He was prepared, "Let's keep it friendly, go ahead and make your move."

"Watch out, ha!"

Zi Yu's hair danced as she let out a delicate shout and pointed her finger, aiming straight for Feng Luo's brow, just like last time.

Feng Luo's aura suddenly exploded!

With a pop... boom!

In that moment, a terrifying aura spread outward from him, crashing into Zi Yu. As a warrior of her level, even just this explosive force nearly knocked her back.

But Zi Yu withstood it.

Sky Shadow, however, let out a cold chuckle, somewhat pleased as he looked at Feng Yi and said, "Even if she can withstand the pressure, she can't cause any harm to Feng Luo when close. You should know that Feng Luo's minimum level is beyond a million, perhaps even stronger than your mid-Legendary Realm level, let alone with Zi Yu now."

That's hard to say. In pure raw power, Zi Yu indeed couldn't defeat Feng Luo, even ten of her wouldn't suffice.

But using her skills, she could at least take a bite out of her opponent.

At this moment, Zi Yu was only half a meter from Feng Luo, unable to advance even slightly, yet she used her water abilities to gather and freeze it, seemingly trying to freeze the invisible barrier in front of her.

But in the face of absolute power, even the ice she gathered shattered instantly. She couldn't even breach the invisible barrier, let alone touch Feng Luo.

Sky Shadow really couldn't understand why Feng Yi would have Zi Yu fight such a hopeless battle, even if she stood still for her to hit, so what?

"It seems it still won't work."

Zi Yu said, feeling a bit down.

But a second later, before Feng Luo could react, she launched another strong attack, once again using her ice attribute in a repeat performance.

"The same trick won't work on me, wait!"

This time, the ice sliced through the outer defenses like a steel blade, directly aiming for Feng Luo's body...

"Thunderous Ice."

Just as Zi Yu's words fell, countless ice shards struck Feng Luo, who had no time to react, sizzling...

"So that's how it is, slicing through the surface pressure with the wind attribute of ice." Feng Luo spoke truthfully, without a trace of panic, "But do you think such tricks alone can defeat me?"

As a warrior, muscle resilience can't be matched by a woman. These sharp ice shards seemed to hit the body, but they couldn't breach the skin's defense. Feng Luo took a deep breath, determined to shake off these annoying ice fragments entirely.

Snap!

With a crisp snap, suddenly Feng Luo's body had no reaction.

"Hehe, invasion successful."

Zi Yu blinked her pretty eyelashes, making a V-sign with her fingers, then quickly stretched out her hand, flicking Feng Luo's forehead.

Bang!

It was like Feng Luo was suddenly hit by a blunt object, waking up with a start! The damage of this move wasn't much, but its insult was extreme.

The opponent was like a punishing pretty girl, while Feng Luo, holding his head, looked utterly perplexed.

"I got ambushed."

"Don't put it so harshly, it's called an Enchantment Technique."

After all, for a warrior of Feng Luo's rank, even if Zi Yu used all her strength, it would be hard to cause much damage with a single finger. Breaking his defense wasn't even certain. But even though Feng Luo was in a dazed state, she had managed to hit him.

"Feng Yi, you're too cunning!"

Zi Yu was the one fighting, what did this have to do with him? Feng Yi emphasized to Sky Shadow that this counted as his win.

Sky Shadow was quite helpless. Rationally, Feng Luo shouldn't have fallen for Enchantment Techniques. Being a warrior, having a strong will is foundational. Even if Zi Yu had used an enchantment method to control Feng Luo, at most it would've lasted a few seconds. What surprised him wasn't the enchantment, but Zi Yu's timing.

When Feng Luo was about to gather his energy to explode, it was also when his defense was at its weakest. Zi Yu had picked this exact moment to launch a surprise attack. So he had nothing to say, just felt it unfair in his heart.

Feng Luo was also quite miserable but took it in stride, smiling wryly and conceding, "It seems I lost."

"Huh?"

Zi Yu was shocked, not expecting her opponent to admit defeat so readily. It shouldn't be like this; by logic, shouldn't he be more discontented, demanding a rematch? At least his face should show frustration at being ambushed.

But he accepted the defeat openly, something Zi Yu couldn't comprehend. Isn't there a saying that the apprentice resembles the master? Zi Yu didn't think she had much fondness for Sky Shadow. She didn't anticipate Feng Luo's and Sky Shadow's personalities would be so different.

She suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, "Hehe, it's nothing, I was just lucky, just luck, haha..."

Feng Luo looked at her in an even stranger way, finding this girl quite amusing.

Feng Yi, standing to the side, smiled without speaking. He understood that Feng Luo was far more mature than Zi Yu. He had lived through that era, seeing life and death up close, making him cherish all he had now. Undoubtedly, Feng Luo was a warrior capable of standing on his own.

As for Feng Luo's performance today, losing was only natural, considering he was unaware of Zi Yu's hidden wind attributes because, in the last spar, they hadn't yet been triggered.

Feng Yi simply jumped into the off-road vehicle, "Hey, get in, Feng Luo."

"Huh? Dad, I don't get what you mean."

"I thought you could train in a different environment. I just made a bet with Sky Shadow, and since I won, you all are going to Mardis, come on, we're going to have barbecue today."

"But... Uncle Sky Shadow?"

"Hmph, get on board," Sky Shadow said coldly, leaving those words as he walked onto the off-road vehicle and shut the door hard.

"Yay, barbecue!"

The happiest one in the vehicle was Zi Yu, her energy restored, unexpectedly getting to eat barbecue today.

After picking up the two little ones, just as the engine started, everyone suddenly found themselves on the bountiful grassy highway of Mardis.

Somewhat caught off guard, but being experienced motorists, Feng Yi's driving had made everyone accustomed to the change in surroundings. It didn't matter where the barbecue was; what mattered was enjoying the scenery along the way and the current mood.

Before long, Feng Yi had taken everyone to a nearby town tavern.

Pushing open the rustic door, there were a few people seated inside. The place lacked lavish decor, but the distinctive, aged atmosphere of the prairie was surprisingly refreshing, giving off a very down-to-earth vibe.
