Flirting with my sister right in front of me!?

Calling me 'brother'? Questioning our relationship? Are you going to start calling me 'brother-in-law' in a few days?

Seeing Ren Suo dodge his attack and then make faces at his sister, Gu Yuexuan exploded with rage in an instant!

Gu Yuexuan stomped continuously, and the air beneath his feet detonated instantly, blasting out a powerful gale. The alloy soles of his specially-made boots perfectly withstood the shock, propelling him like a flying shadow toward Ren Suo!

"'Wind's Wound: Burst Wave'!"

Despite being nearly a hundred meters away from Zhao Huo and Ren Suo, and despite dozens of people in between, Gu Yuexuan, with the help of the wind's transmission, heard their conversation loud and clear.

Zhao Huo's judgment of him was entirely correct.

Although he had been slow to advance to the third turn, his research into the awakened spell 'Wind's Wound' had long since brought his combat power to the third stage!

Sky Capital is the capital of Mysterious Country, where all shadows, turbid waves, deceitful tricks, and strong schemes gather. Transcendents, each with their own ulterior motives, sneak into this economic, political, and cultural hub, which was difficult for the past security system to defend against. The reason Tactical Headquarters far surpasses other branches is not only because it attracts talent to Sky Capital but also because it has to deal with problems far beyond any other city!

As the captain of the Tactical Headquarters' scouting team, Gu Yuexuan needed to fulfill reconnaissance duties, as well as make judgments, cover retreats, take charge in initial battles, and outmaneuver the enemy. To deal with and handle all kinds of problems, he endlessly expanded his awakened spells until he could compensate for all his weaknesses!

Considering Ren Suo's list of spells—Perfect Gauze Clothing, Divine Speed Movement Spell, and powerful Healing Magic—he was indeed both a healer and a tank. Therefore, Gu Yuexuan showed no mercy in his attack.

After all, Ren Suo was tough and could heal. As long as Gu Yuexuan avoided the throat and heart, he could chop anywhere else without worry; even severed limbs could be reattached!

Moreover, Ren Suo had once defeated Zhao Huo, which made Gu Yuexuan believe in Ren Suo's undeniable strength. He had no intention of provoking or testing Ren Suo; from the get-go, he went all out like a lion pouncing on a rabbit, giving Ren Suo no chance for a comeback!

Seeing that Ren Suo had already stood up, with less than five meters separating them and a conflict imminent, Gu Yuexuan recalled Ren Suo's common attack methods: the bizarre 'Ghostly Stroll' and the 'Finger Lock' that could penetrate Armor.

Suddenly, Gu Yuexuan halted, swung his sword horizontally, and the air instantly erupted into a fierce howl—

"'Wind's Wound: Tsunami'!"

The sharp wind, like numerous sickles, rushed towards Ren Suo. Even if Ren Suo's 'Gauze Clothing' was perfected, getting cut by the Sickle Wind would surely peel off a layer of skin!

Gu Yuexuan wasn't giving Ren Suo any chance to get close!

Seeing this, Ren Suo also cast aside any thoughts of negotiation and seriously engaged the fight.

This is... somewhat troublesome.

Holding down the hat on his head, Ren Suo thought for a moment, then flashed forward, intentionally colliding with the incoming harsh winds in an attempt to dodge.

Gu Yuexuan watched, slightly raising an eyebrow. Useless. The 'Gauze Clothing' may withstand physical damage, but it can't fully absorb impact. A head-on collision with the Sickle Wind is no different from being chopped by five hundred axe-wielders. Even if it could block the attack, the clothing would definitely be shredded...

As punishment for your disrespectful deceit of an innocent schoolgirl, I sentence you to the penalty of streaking like a pervert!

Watch, sister, and see how despicable, undersized, and perverted this guy is!

Then, the next second, the Sickle Wind Ren Suo collided with emitted a strange, high-pitched WHINE, but it didn't cause him any harm whatsoever!

Ren Suo was like a traveler walking through a strong wind, easily emerging unscathed; even his hat remained intact!

Had it not been for the walls of the ruins behind Ren Suo being shredded by the Sickle Wind, people might have thought Gu Yuexuan was merely fanning Ren Suo!

"Impressive, Doctor Ren!"

"Doctor Ren is awesome!"

"Truly the man who once thrashed Zhao Huo!"

Zhao Huo: "..."

That was close! Ren Suo thought. He had instantly activated 'The Demon King Returns' to bolster 'A Thousand Miles in a Day'. He quickly gained insights into the spell and airflow Gu Yuexuan used. Fortunately, Ren Suo also had a Bond Ability related to airflow: 'Storm Restraint'.

He used 'Storm Restraint' to add a thin jacket of storm to the outside of his Gauze Clothing. When colliding with the Sickle Wind, the winds opposed and neutralized each other, which is why he could walk out without a scratch.

This kind of Area Attack was effective only because it was the Sickle Wind; if Gu Yuexuan continued to use the strong slashes from before that were dozens of meters per stroke, Ren Suo's makeshift Storm Gauze Clothing wouldn't have withstood it at all.

However, Gu Yuexuan also realized this!

He lifted his straight knives high, assuming a high stance, and suddenly burst forth, the blades following the wind, instantly becoming a myriad of dancing phantoms as he pursued and relentlessly attacked Ren Suo!

"'Wind's Wound: Shocking Waves'!"

With every slash, Gu Yuexuan had the wind aiding his momentum, slashing faster and faster, turning quicker with each strike. After the fifth slash, it was no longer him swinging the blades, but the wind pulling him into the pursuit!

As punishment for making my sister cry, and for molesting her less than a hundred meters away from me, I sentence you to have your hands chopped off!

Watch, sister! Whichever hand he touched you with, I'll chop it the hell off right now!

In just over ten seconds, everyone saw Gu Yuexuan wielding a straight knife, slashing from the construction area to the biological zone, and then to the forest zone. He left a trail of severed trees and shattered walls, swinging his blade dozens of times without even blinking—an unending barrage of attacks that devastated the training ground! Naturally, Ren Suo dodged every single one of those dozens of slashes, not getting hit by any of them; nothing happened to him.

The onlookers outside began to relax a little. Gu Yueyan and the others let out a sigh of relief, Bai Ji melted the ice in his hands, Dong Chengling diffused the vibrating Spiritual Energy in hers, and Qiao Muyi retracted her tiptoes from the yellow line marking the safe area's boundary.

"I didn't expect Teacher Ren to actually tease the opponent like that; he's so naughty."

"He's making it very clear to him that even if I don't fight back and let you swing at me, you can't hit me."

"Teacher Ren is really quite cheeky."

Ren Suo couldn't hear any of the praises from the outside world, as he was fully focused on dealing with Gu Yuexuan's tsunami-like frantic pursuit.

'The Demon King Returns' + 'Insight into the Mortal World' + 'Ghostly Rapid Step' + 'A Thousand Miles in a Day'!

Gu Yuexuan's attacks were fast, but Ren Suo, with his enhanced Bond Abilities, could clearly see Gu Yuexuan's attack trajectory and even predict his forthcoming techniques.

What he needed to do was to use 'Ghostly Rapid Step', and then, at the perfect moment, courting death with his daringly close shaves, he evaded for a good many seconds without ever stumbling once, even throwing Gu Yuexuan's rhythm into disarray.

The person most astonished by this was Ren Suo himself!

He remembered having little combat experience, so why was he able to remain so calm when faced with such perilous attacks?

Even though Ren Suo knew he wouldn't die if he got cut, even though Ren Suo knew it would just hurt for a moment before he could heal himself instantly with Healing Magic...

But Ren Suo also knew that, as a creature with the need to pass on his lineage, his natural instinct was to fear death, pain, and to avoid combat.

Aside from a few exceptionally gifted Butchers, most people, unless they've been through combat training, need several battles to overcome the Fear of pain and fighting—especially close combat with Cold Weapons. Confronted with the chill of sharp blades, the first instinct of most people is to run, not to show off and dance around danger like Ren Suo!

Not to mention, with the entire school watching, Ren Suo, who had never performed on stage, was now unfazed and unhurried!

Even in Ren Suo's subconscious judgment, he felt that Gu Yuexuan's attacks were insignificant; there was nothing about this scene that deserved his surprise.

It was as if he had once battled enemies far stronger than Gu Yuexuan and had fought on stages more spectacular than this training ground.

A Player who has battled big bosses wouldn't pay much attention to elite small soldiers encountered along the way.

But the problem is... I remember the strongest opponent I've faced in reality so far is Gu Yuexuan!

When Ren Suo fought Zhao Huo, Zhao Huo was at the second turn, and it was a clone—a result of Cloning—fighting Zhao Huo; Ren Suo himself hadn't felt much reality to it.

Going further back, in September when he was guarding Kallen of Light, Ren Suo was performing the duties of a Healing Cultivator and hadn't engaged in combat. In the Secret Realm, Ren Suo had only fought a small Strange Creature, hardly a challenge. And then there was that time he won against a Demonic Possession-afflicted young man in the subway...

Why do I feel like Gu Yuexuan is just a scrub?

Why have I become so arrogant?

As if telepathic, Ren Suo slightly turned his head and, in a break from the intense battle, made eye contact with Qiao Muyi at the front of the onlookers.

Qiao Muyi stood with her hands on her hips, her tactical vest fitting perfectly against her body, accentuating her graceful figure. She placed her hands under her chest, making her ample bosom protrude even more.

She too was staring at Ren Suo. In the instant they locked eyes, her fox-like, charming eye gave a quick wink, and her lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes full of laughter and mischief, as if silently urging Ren Suo, "Hurry up and thrash that loser!"

Ren Suo immediately found a reason for his calm attitude in battle—it must be Qiao Muyi's influence.

Out of all the people he knew, Qiao Muyi was the most conceited and arrogant, fearing nothing. Now, fighting against the third-turn powerhouse Gu Yuexuan, he was equally composed and confident, naturally infected by Qiao Muyi's confidence.

However… it isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Before the battle started, Ren Suo's biggest concern was that he would panic due to Fear, which was why he intended to follow the 'courtesy before force' strategy. Now that he remained unperturbed even when chased by Gu Yuexuan, he could change his battle strategy.

So… it's time to counterattack!

Meanwhile, whether Gu Yuexuan had realized that his 'Chain of 108 Slashes' was useless against Ren Suo, or his arms were just tired from swinging, he finally stopped to rest, allowing Ren Suo a chance to breathe.

Ren Suo immediately swapped his abilities in the reserve slot, and after a 10-second cooldown, a virtual slot machine interface appeared before him—

"'Miracle Full Moon'!"

Ren Suo knew that he couldn't beat Gu Yuexuan face-to-face with only his Spells.

Yes, Ren Suo had many very practical Bond Abilities: 'Flame Overlord,' 'Ice Age,' 'Storm Restraint,' 'Wax and Wane,'...

Ren Suo's game character had achieved many battle victories with these Bond Abilities and had become world-famous.

But Ren Suo was not like his game character. The character could virtually master his Bond Abilities instantly, whereas he needed training to use them!

Creating the storm coat earlier was the best Ren Suo could do under the effects of the enhanced 'A Thousand Miles in a Day'. It wasn't that he didn't have better ways to use it, but he hadn't trained, so he couldn't use it in real combat!

For Ren Suo, 'Flame Overlord' was just about throwing Fireballs and setting fires, while 'Ice Age' was about tossing ice spikes and creating Ice Walls...

However, such rudimentary methods of application were utterly useless in this tense and thrilling third-turn combat.

Besides, let's not forget that Ren Suo had never redeemed fire, Cold Ice, wind, or light Spells from the magic network. If he rashly used them, it would certainly attract attention. This was his oversight. Even if he used them in public, it wouldn't matter much—he could just claim they were awakened spells. Not to mention, with Qiao Muyi and Yu Kuangtu backing him, no matter how much Ren Suo was investigated, at most he'd just be labeled as 'Exceptionally Gifted.'

Even a Spatial Ability User like Dong Chengling could wander around everywhere. Ren Suo, who was essentially useless for production and only good for destruction, would hardly draw much scrutiny.

But the thing was, the reason Ren Suo could relax so much at Heavenly Lotus Academy, always serving as a Healing Cultivator, was precisely because he only knew Healing Magic.

Once the academy discovered he could cast all sorts of Spells, Ren Suo swore on Zhao Huo's integrity that they would definitely ask him to teach!

And what are the consequences of becoming a teacher?

Look at Zhao Huo, who wanted to go to Winter Comic and had to ask Bai Ji for a favor to get time off. Moreover, to get this leave, he had been giving extra lessons for days, busily complaining in his Moments—he had surely blocked all his colleagues, but Ren Suo wasn't considered one, so he got to see Zhao Huo's rants.

In order to continue his leisurely lifestyle, and because these Spells weren't much use in this battle anyway, Ren Suo naturally turned his attention to his newly acquired Ability.

The Ability to draw Miracles—'Miracle Full Moon'!

As long as he drew an attack-type Miracle, that would suffice!

The power of Miracles was something Ren Suo had already experienced in the game—explosively strong!

Such power was not something Third-turn Cultivators could contend with!

Unless Ren Suo hit the jackpot and drew an instantaneous death-dealing Spell like 'Death's Touch,' even if he drew some other control Spell, he was confident he could toy with Gu Yuexuan!

Come on!

Miracle draw, begin!

First reel! Mom!

Second reel! Mom!

Third reel! …Dad.

It's no big deal. Getting nothing on the first pull is normal. I still have 48 Lunar Phase Energy points; I can pull 47 more times!

"I never expected you would give me so much time."

By now, Gu Yuexuan, who had rested for a good ten seconds or more, pinched the back of the knife with two fingers and slowly slid his fingertips from the hilt along the spine to the tip.

When his fingers left the blade, his straight knife was covered with Wind Gang, enough to distort the air.

"'Wind's Wound: Dark Current.'"

Just as Zhao Huo used 'Spirit Qi' to strengthen his spear, Gu Yuexuan could also use 'Dark Current' to Enchant his straight knife.

This Enchantment Ability was something almost all Cultivators who used Cold Weapons possessed—otherwise, why use Cold Weapons at all?

However, it took him a long time for this Strengthening of his straight knife. He needed to Enchant it before a battle started, or else he wouldn't have the opportunity to use it.

But in this sparring match, Gu Yuexuan didn't expect that his two major moves, 'Shocking Waves' and 'Tsunami,' would have no effect on Ren Suo, who instead made a mockery of him in public—he had thought those two moves were sufficient.

In such circumstances, an enraged Gu Yuexuan had no choice but to Enchant his knife with 'Dark Current' right there and then; otherwise, he had no chance of defeating Ren Suo!

He was prepared for Ren Suo to take the opportunity to attack while he was enchanting, ready to Enchant while retreating. However, he never anticipated that Ren Suo would just let him perform the Enchantment.

This generous demeanor slightly reduced the anger Gu Yuexuan felt from being ridiculed.

He couldn't help but feel a slight fondness for the man in front of him, who was open and upright, not resorting to tricks or deceit.

But, even if you're a decent man, you can't make a move on my sister who just came of age!

As punishment for trying to become my sister's man, I sentence you to be… cleaved apart!

Look, little sister! Your brother will use a thirty-meter-long blade to keep all Demons and Monsters out of your sight!

Then, Gu Yuexuan brandished his knife at Ren Suo from a distance.

This distance was supposed to be safe, yet with the keen senses of 'Insight into the Mortal World,' Ren Suo immediately observed Gu Yuexuan's knife path!

He was brandishing the knife more than ten meters away from Ren Suo, but the slashes he made formed razor-sharp wind blades extending over thirty meters!

This was the power of Gu Yuexuan's 'Dark Current'; although it required about ten seconds for Casting Spells, once successful, Gu Yuexuan instantly transformed from a melee Cultivator into a mid-to-long-range reaper!

Every slash he made synchronously created a sharp wind blade over thirty meters long in the air, essentially extending the blade's reach to over thirty meters! Moreover, the destructive force was incredibly strong, comparable to an actual blade strike!

Even if Ren Suo's Gauze Clothing were tough, facing Gu Yuexuan's long-distance frenzied slashing, defeat was the likely outcome!

Indeed, as Gu Yuexuan predicted, the range and frequency of his attacks were too great and too fast. Ren Suo had absolutely no Ability to counteract, barely managing to Dodge with difficulty. His Gauze Clothing was also struck several times by Gu Yuexuan's blade.

The effectiveness of the attacks instantly lifted Gu Yuexuan's spirits!

You dare call me brother-in-law! Direct slash!

You dare flirt with my sister! Upward slash!

You dare make my sister cry! Horizontal slash!

Ren Suo kept retreating and dodging, while Gu Yuexuan relentlessly pursued and slashed, creating a scene of rolling dust and earth-shattering chaos at the training ground, thrilling the spectating crowd—they never imagined a battle with Cold Weapons could be so cool!

"So cool, what Spell is this?"

"I want to learn this too, to cut through the sun, the moon, and the stars with one sword!"

"Why isn't Teacher Ren fighting back...?"

Gu Yuexuan suddenly saw a slight delay in Ren Suo's dodging. Having adapted to Ren Suo's dodging speed, Gu Yuexuan seized the opportunity and delivered a hefty slash!

A thirty-meter-long wind blade fell. Ren Suo crossed his arms in front of his chest, fully absorbing the blow, but was knocked flying backward!

Haha, sister, you must have seen that! This guy Ren Suo was sent flying by me!

Sent flying...

Huh?!

It was only then that Gu Yuexuan realized that through their ongoing battle, Ren Suo had unconsciously retreated towards the spectating crowd, not far from the safe area.

And with that slash, Ren Suo was sent flying toward the crowd!

The direction Ren Suo was propelled... was right where Gu Yueyan stood!

That was close! Ren Suo thought. He was grateful Gu Yuexuan had indeed acted as he anticipated; otherwise, he wouldn't have known how to fly over there.

He glanced at the slot machine interface in front of him, looking at the remaining 11 Lunar Phase Energy points, and sighed inwardly.

Thirty-seven consecutive pulls, and all of them duds...

When Ren Suo's body shimmered with a flash of silvery Moonlight, he chose to draw once again.

The first reel showed Yu Kuangtu.

The second reel showed Zhao Huo.

The third reel showed Ren Suo.

Still no good, huh...

Hearing the close cries of surprise from the crowd, Ren Suo turned in mid-air, perfectly embracing Gu Yueyan in front of him, then turned again to land on his back, sliding across the ground for several meters before stopping.

In these brief seconds, Ren Suo and Gu Yueyan were eye to eye, nose to nose, lips almost touching, their bodies pressed almost completely together.

Gu Yueyan was caught so off guard by this sudden embrace that she stiffened, not knowing how to react. Ren Suo's embrace was very steady, and she hardly swayed.

Our noses are touching, our lips are only inches apart... He did this on purpose, she suddenly felt.

Because Ren Suo's eyes were tightly fixed on her, filled with anticipation, greed, Desire, but no panic at all.

What is he trying to do?

There are so many people here!

And Sister Ling and Sister Qiao are here too!

As well as Xianyu, Little Star, my brother, my father...

As Gu Yueyan's thoughts tangled chaotically, she heard Ren Suo whisper to her:

"Shine bright, Little Yue Yan!"
