Seeing that Mei was ignoring her, Yuno tugged at Mei's sleeve, but Mei still didn't move.

"Mei Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Mei then came to her senses, shook her head slightly, and looked a little serious.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something."

Are you sure you're thinking about something?

The Herrscher of Thunder's voice echoed in Mei's mind, and the flippant tone made Mei feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"What do you want to do again?"

"Nothing much, just came to check on how my people are doing."

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"nothing."

The Herrscher of Thunder smiled, her words full of provocation: "That's exactly what you said."

Mei looked in Luo Chen's direction, pursed her lips and remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

"Mei, is there any movement in your core?"

Yuno waved her hand in front of Mei, pointing to Mei's chest.

"No."

Mei shook her head. She decided not to reveal the matter of the Herrscher of Thunder popping up, and to first ascertain her intentions.

The two players on the field remained stationary. Ji Zi and Luo Chen exchanged a few more words, and Ji Zi urged him to make the first move.

"OK then."

Luo Chen swiftly reached Ji Zi with his sword, raising it to strike downwards, but Ji Zi blocked it with her Xuanyuan Sword.

Himeko exerted force with her wrist, knocking Luo Chen's sword away. Lightning flashed on her armor, and flames appeared on the Xuanyuan Sword.

"Himeko-neechan, go all out right from the start!"

Luo Chen twirled his sword, finally holding it horizontally with both hands at cheek height, his smile fading as he stared intently at Ji Zi.

"Himeko-neechan, listen up."

Luo Chen gave a soft shout and instantly teleported behind Himeko to attack her. Himeko rolled to dodge and then swung her Xuanyuan Sword upwards at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen stepped back, and the Xuanyuan Sword almost grazed his nose, nearly hitting him.

"Little guy, didn't I tell you to use your full strength?"

"I used it."

Luo Chen was lying through his teeth. He had said that, but if he were to activate Susanoo, it would be too overpowered, and Himeko might not be able to break through it.

"Where is your Susanoo?"

Himeko stepped back several meters, hoisted her sword onto her shoulder, and her expression showed that she was serious.

"Go all out, I don't need you to hold back."

"OK then."

Luo Chen was swayed by her emotions, and it would be impolite to give in now, so he granted Ji Zi's wish.

Luo Chen put away the Jizo Soul, and his silver eyes turned gold. His eyes shone like the sun. His entire demeanor suddenly changed, and the Honkai energy in the arena intensified.

Crimson bones appeared around Luo Chen's body, then flesh and blood enveloped the bones, and finally armor appeared. The light shining in Susanoo's eyes was exactly the same as Luo Chen's.

Many people in the audience were seeing Luo Chen's Susanoo for the first time. A powerful sense of oppression stimulated their nerves, and many of them felt a sense of fear.

Susanoo raised his hands, and black stripes appeared from his shoulders, eventually spreading to the armor on his hands.

'This thing can indeed be imbued with other types of Honkai energy.'

Luo Chen nodded to himself, raising his hands. Susanoo followed suit, raising his hands and flames igniting in them.

"Using a knife too often is not good either."

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, the flames in Susanoo's right hand clung to his wrist, condensing into a bow and arrow. His left hand still held the flames, which had changed from crimson to black.

Susanoo, following Luo Chen's will, drew his bow and released the arrow, which was ultimately fired at Himeko.

The arrows formed from black flames flew towards Himeko, trailing flames and containing a few bolts of lightning; if they touched her, they would surely explode.

Himeko activated the Xuanyuan Sword with all her might, causing three-colored energy balls to swirl around its blade, eventually converging at the top of the sword to form a large energy ball.

As the arrow approached Himeko, she pointed her Xuanyuan Sword forward, and the energy ball flew towards the arrow. An explosion occurred upon contact, but Luo Chen used several vines to encircle it, preventing anyone from being injured.

Vines scattered all over the ground. Luo Chen shrunk Susanoo into armor and put it on. He exchanged a glance with Himeko and began to fight.

Neither of them used Honkai energy in their attacks; it was purely a contest of skill and physical strength, and they consciously slowed down so that others could see them clearly.

"Luo Chen, use Honkai energy. I want to see just how much you've grown."

Luo Chen deflected Himeko's attack, nodded in agreement, and Honkai energy wrapped around his blade, causing the Jizo Mitama to glow.

"Sister Himeko, let's settle this with one move. I'm afraid I'll hurt you."

Luo Chen took a few steps back, raised his sword vertically, and looked at Ji Zi with a firm gaze.

Ji Zi sighed, her eyes filled with approval and affection as she looked at Luo Chen, responding to him with the gesture of holding the Xuanyuan Sword.

The two simultaneously unleashed their sword beams, one red and one white, hurtling towards each other. Upon contact, the crimson beam shattered the white one and continued its trajectory towards Himeko.

Himeko shouted, raised the Xuanyuan Sword high, and slashed down hard at the blade's edge, releasing all her Honkai energy and successfully severing it.

The blade's edge vanished behind Himeko in a flash of light. Only then did Himeko put down the Xuanyuan Sword, resting one arm on its hilt. Her chest heaved, and she was feeling the strain of having used up most of her Honkai energy.

"Sister Himeko, are you alright?"

Luo Chen quickly walked to Ji Zi's side and reached out to help her, but Ji Zi hooked her neck and pulled him over.

"Not bad, little guy."

Himeko ruffled Luo Chen's hair, then played with the ends before letting go, satisfied.

Luo Chen tidied his hair, grinning foolishly at Himeko without saying a word. Seeing Himeko healthy now, Luo Chen felt especially happy. As long as things were handled properly, Himeko's tragedy could be completely changed.

"It seems I'm getting old; I'm no match for you anymore."

"No way, Sister Himeko, you're only in your early twenties... no, you're almost thirty!"

Himeko stared at Luo Chen with a black line on her forehead, feeling particularly annoyed that she was almost thirty and still hadn't been in a relationship, while this guy had several girls who liked him. When Luo Chen mentioned he was almost thirty, she couldn't help but punch him on the head.

"Sister Himeko, I was wrong!"

Luo Chen immediately knelt down with his hands on his head, his appearance of admitting his mistake was extremely sincere, making Ji Zi feel a little hesitant to punish him.

"Get up, kid, I won't hit you."

Ji Zi laughed and scolded, pulling Luo Chen up by the collar, then straightening his clothes, and said softly.

"You are capable of standing on your own now. The future of St. Freya is in your hands."

Chapter 89 Attending class seriously?

The next day, news of Luo Chen's victory over Himeko Murata, the strongest teacher at St. Freya, spread throughout the entire school. All the students gained a new understanding of Luo Chen's strength.

Luo Chen walked down the street, ignoring the stares of those around him, but as the crowd grew larger, he could vaguely hear people trying to strike up a conversation with him.

"Isn't it?"

Luo Chen caught sight of several girls approaching him, and his pace quickened until he reached the classroom.

Luo Chen sat down in the chair, leaning back, unsure of what to say.

Why are the girls around me suddenly so enthusiastic?!

Luo Chen placed his right hand on the table, rested his chin on it, and looked at Mei with pleading eyes as he looked at the many other students from other classes standing outside the classroom.

"Why are you looking at me? I can't do anything about it."

Mei touched Luo Chen's nose with her finger, tilted her head and smiled, looking like she was watching a show.

"Aren't you in a hurry?"

Why should I be in a hurry?

Mei moved her hand to Luo Chen's cheek, gently pinched it, and then withdrew it.

"Keep it up, you're a star student in the academy now!"

Mei leaned against Luo Chen in front of everyone, her hair constantly brushing against his nose, and she giggled.

"I'm used to it."

Lilith was used to the two of them constantly showing affection; ever since their relationship was revealed, their public interactions had become quite common. Occasionally, Kiana and Yuno would even chime in, and Lilith's initial curiosity had gradually turned into numbness.

"Used to it."

Yuno looked at the astonished people outside the window, seemingly unfazed.

"By the way, when did Luo Chen finally win Mei's heart?"

Lilith whispered to Yuno, and judging from their natural movements, Lilith initially concluded that it might have been some time since then.

Do you remember when we went to the amusement park?
