They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 46 Dan Lei's Return (Seeking recommendations and further reading)
Moving forward a bit, before Dan Lei and Yan Qing officially began their fight, in the audience seats of the martial arts arena, the two most powerful people from Luofu Immortal Boat were commenting on Dan Lei and Yan Qing.

Fu Xuan was the first to speak.

"Jingyuan, I thought you asked me out for something special, but it turns out it was just to watch Yanqing spar with a kid named Chiming."
You know, I'm very busy. If this is really just for watching a sparring match, I'll be leaving now.

When Fu Xuan spoke, he was looking at Jing Yuan, but Jing Yuan's gaze never left Dan Lei.

However, he still tried to comfort Fu Xuan verbally.

"Fu Qing, please calm down. If you want to become a general of Luofu, you must first know which young talents are on your own immortal ship and what their abilities are, so that you can recruit them according to their talents."

Jing Yuan's words finally piqued Fu Xuan's interest. Looking at the two in the training ground, he said...
"Oh? Yanqing is one thing, but this Chiming kid is just as talented?"

After speaking, Fu Xuan immediately used his third eye on his forehead to connect with the Qiong Guan Array, retrieved Dan Lei's relevant information, and then performed divination.

A moment later, Fu Xuan, looking at Jing Yuan with a strange expression, asked again.
"Jingyuan, are you getting senile? According to the information, there's no way Danlei could beat Yanqing."

Even if he was glanced at by the Star God of Memory and retrieved the cultivation technique from the Sea of ​​Memory, his combat power could not have increased dramatically in just two years.

"Yanqing is a genius you've carefully nurtured for decades."

Jing Yuan didn't keep Fu Xuan in suspense; instead, he directly told him the answer.

"Dan Lei possesses a set of techniques for manipulating life energy, which, according to him, seems to have evolved from that breathing method."

However, this life energy is not the life energy we know; in short, it's very magical.

Moreover, he possessed the power to balance his destiny, a power he acquired without his complete knowledge.

Once Jing Yuan explained it, Fu Xuan understood.

Since my information about Danlei is incomplete, I naturally cannot deduce the correct result from the missing information.

After all, Dan Lei wasn't being analyzed in all aspects within the Qiong Guan Formation at this time, so it's normal for him to make mistakes.

Moreover, Fu Xuan understood the power to balance fate, but he was unaware of what it meant.

Her curiosity was piqued, and she began to watch the battle more closely.

At this moment, Dan Lei and Yan Qing had already started fighting. After a round of probing, Dan Lei used the Magic Line.

After analyzing the situation with his third eye, Fu Xuan commented:
"Interesting. Can life energy be used like this? What's the principle behind it?"

If members of the Genius Club were nearby, they might be able to analyze the nature of the magic.

Unfortunately, neither Jing Yuan nor Fu Xuan were qualified, and since their expertise was not relevant, neither of them could analyze anything.

The battle quickly escalated into Yan Qing launching a surprise attack on Dan Lei with [Swallow Returns], but Jing Yuan shook his head and said...
"Yanqing is still too hasty. It looks like he's going to lose."

At this moment, Fu Xuan, based on the calculations of the Qiong Guan Formation, could not conclude that Yan Qing was going to lose.

However, Fu Xuan did not question Jing Yuan's judgment, because every time the two disagreed, Jing Yuan was basically right. After being proven wrong many times, Fu Xuan learned to take another look and wait.

Sure enough, the situation on the field quickly changed.

Seeing that his attacks couldn't break through [Yan Guilai]'s ice sword defense in a short time, Dan Lei decided he wasn't going to be reckless and engage in close combat with an invincible enemy. So, lightning crackled around him, and he activated the Thunder Breathing technique, instantly creating distance with a flash of lightning.

Seeing that Dan Danlei had actually run away, Yanqing immediately urged his flying sword to give chase without saying a word.

However, Dan Lei stopped directly fighting Yan Qing this time. He used the Sun Wheel Greatsword to block the flying sword and various elemental attacks to block Yan Qing's charge. In any case, he didn't stop at all.

After running two laps around the track, Fu Xuan noticed something amiss. She looked down at Dan Lei's trajectory and commented...
"Huh? This Dan Lei actually used lightning scratches to draw the imaginary number impact array used by the golden statue in the arena. That's interesting."

Jing Yuan nodded and said
"Yes, Dan Lei's spatial awareness is clearly superior to Yan Qing's, and Yan Qing doesn't understand formations at all. He's going to suffer this time."

Sure enough, as Jing Yuan finished speaking, Dan Lei completed the final stroke of the Imaginary Number Impact Array.

In fact, the Imaginary Number Impact Array is a common thing in Luofu. From small roadside toys to the explosive damage of the Golden Man's [Binding] attack, this technology is used everywhere.

The drawing Dan Lei made in the training ground, although large, lacked the amplification of special metals, so its power was not great.

However, Dan Lei didn't expect this thing to defeat Yan Qing; he just wanted to use a wide-range, high-frequency imaginary energy attack to break through Yan Qing's [Yan Guilai] ice sword.

Because Yanqing had focused all her attention on Danlei, she was caught off guard when the Imaginary Number Impact Array was activated.

The four ice swords, which were already cracked, were quickly shattered by the imaginary energy, as if they had been thrown directly into a furnace.

The power that empowered its own hunting destiny was shattered the moment the ice sword broke.

At this moment, Yanqing's power and speed plummeted as the blessing of destiny was broken.

Dan Lei, naturally, used Thunder Flash to instantly rush in front of Yan Qing, assuming the starting stance of Swallow Return, preparing to end the battle with Sasaki Kojiro's signature move.

Of course, although Dan Lei's Swallow Return was personally taught by Sasaki Kojiro, it was only a mortal version. It could not deliver the three slashes that transcended time, but rather a super-fast, all-around triple slash.

Dan Lei wasn't afraid of hurting Yan Qing; after all, with the medical facilities on the Immortal Ship, being slashed a few times wouldn't kill anyone.

However, even at this point, Yanqing still did not give up.

Yan Qing barely managed to block Dan Lei Yan Fan's first strike with his longsword, but because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, his longsword was knocked away.

Then, for the second strike, Yanqing used his six flying swords to forcefully block it. Although he failed to block it, most of the power of the strike was neutralized, and he was only left with a shallow bloodstain.

With the final strike, Yanqing had no way to avoid it and could only turn his back to the sword light, trying to reduce the damage with the scabbard and gourd on his back.

Of course, the ending was that Yanqing was slashed open and flew through the air.

However, Yanqing managed to maintain her posture in mid-air with a twist, and then slid seven or eight meters away, her feet plunging across the ground.

At this moment, Yanqing was covered in blood, but his fighting spirit had not diminished, and he clearly wanted to summon his flying sword to fight again.

However, when Yanqing looked at Danlei again, the Sun Wheel Greatsword was already thrusting straight at him. The next second, his long sideburn on the right side was instantly cut off, and then the Sun Wheel Greatsword flew back to Danlei's side.

At this point, the situation was quite clear: if Dan Lei had acted ruthlessly just now, Yan Qing's head would already be off, and the outcome would be decided.

Seeing this, Dan Lei bowed again and said...
"Concession."
