Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

Inside the azure-blue tent of lightning, the pale blue sky was divided into unconnected panes by the high-voltage power grid that trembled at high frequencies within the tent.

The ground was ravaged by the reaction force of the deer's charge, resembling a bone chewed up by a large dog. The fragments kicked out reflected backward, shattering the glass windows of several shops.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of ozone after a thunderstorm. Several pale blue arcs of light could be vaguely seen moving between the two buildings, making a series of crackling sounds. This was the power of the tent, guided by the little deer, refining the buildings in order to further increase the tent's strength.

Bang! Boom boom boom!

"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!"

"Mudai! Mudai! Mudai! Mudai!"

If the "tent" is a man-made black octagonal cage, then the deer rushing towards the wasabi and the Ruyi stick are the human-shaped Platinum Star and the high-powered electric baton, respectively, who have grasped the true essence of elbow techniques.

Fortunately, Xia Jie was not bad either. Although two fists could not defeat one person with a stick, 100% black flash was still more effective than 99% black flash. In addition, the "love" in her heart was strong enough. Even though the total amount of curse power was not much different, Xia Jie's recovery and output ability still far exceeded that of Xiao Lu.

The power of the Little Deer's curse is like a trickle from a water dispenser, while the power of Xia Jie's curse is like a tap turned up to the maximum, the difference is obvious!

"Man!"

After dozens of black flashes of fists within a single breath, Xiao Lu and her Ruyi Cudgel were both sent flying into the air by Xia Jie's black elbow.

Lu Ziyun stood suspended in mid-air, three feet below her feet, several steel bars that had been attracted to her were slowly melting under the intense lightning. These were the anchors she had used to stabilize her body when she was sparring.

As we all know, the world is governed by physical principles. Because the friction provided by the ground is limited, as long as the force of a punch exceeds the weight of the puncher, the puncher will inevitably be sent flying and fall down.

Therefore, for the sake of the combat experience, the deer uses electromagnetic force to fix itself in place using a principle similar to that of a magnet.

It was only because the combined force of the black flash's punch was too heavy that it sent her and the "ground" that had helped her gain her footing flying into the air.

The next moment, Lu Ziyunyi disappeared from mid-air.

"Three thousand thunderbolts!"

This is a variety of martial arts skills, a modified version of Earth-rank combat techniques created by Xiao Lu while reading novels.

Layer upon layer of electronic music surged in from all directions, as if thousands of people were speaking simultaneously in the same room.

Lightning exploded, and the deer's figure transformed into thousands of real streaks, each one swiftly traversing the tent.

Some of these entities are humanoid forms made of lightning, some are lightning balls, and some are simply a raging serpentine bolt of lightning.

The spirits of lightning are never confined to a single form.

This move consumes a lot of both magical power and mental energy, which is not worthwhile in a duel between experts. In the high-intensity arena of the metaverse, it can even be described as an excessive waste.

However, she knew that Xia Jie had the ability to ignore the electromagnetic illusion locking onto her main body, so she gave up creating illusions and chose to create elemental clones, making the thousands of lightning clones that attacked Xia Jie all the main body.

The sound barrier was first pierced by the lightning shadow of the activated phantom beast Amber, producing a huge sonic boom.

The magic staff followed closely behind, transforming into a silver streak that sliced ​​through lightning and dust. Sonic booms erupted in layers behind it, and shards of glass poured down from the window frames of the high-rise buildings on both sides, turning the poor Shinjuku streets into a crystal-clear downpour.

Xia Jie appeared on the east side of the street, stepping onto a patch of sunken and deformed asphalt.

Before he could even get his footing, the seven lightning clones pounced on him. The Ruyi Cudgel, like a nimble swallow, changed its trajectory several times by precisely colliding with the wall, aiming straight for Xia Jie's back.

"Too slow!" Lu Ziyunyi's voice was like the whisper of death.

In a mere instant, Xia Jie's back, which seemed to be trying to dodge, was struck and left completely exposed, and her body shattered and deformed the moment it was touched.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the bloodthirsty fawn that wanted to see, a bloody mess. Instead, it was like a reflection on water shattered by a pebble, violently distorted in the undulating ripples, then turning into countless illusory mirror lights that dissipated in the scorching lightning.

Clearly, the "wasabi" that was instantly killed was just an illusion left behind by the real wasabi after it left; the real wasabi is still missing.

One of Lu Ziyun's clones stopped its attack, transforming from lightning into a hybrid of flesh and blood and lightning, and instantly disappeared. The afterimage, bound by electromagnetic confinement, lingered in the air for a full half second before dissipating.

The half-flesh-and-blood clone landed with its right foot, creating a shallow crater in the ground. Gravel flew everywhere, and one of the pebbles bounced two meters away into the clothing store, piercing the heart of the pure white mannequin.

The scalding pebble was gently picked up, and Xia Jie, whose true form was hidden in the shadows, smiled without saying a word, if this really was her true form.

"When?"

The clones spoke in surprise, their voices emanating simultaneously from thousands of clones, forming a strange harmony that completely shattered the windshield of a car parked by the roadside, which was already nearly destroyed.

The car alarm, beeping and whirring, obediently fell silent under the gentle care of the lucky charm.

"When did you begin to have the illusion that I wasn't using the illusion of a mirage?"

Xia Jie's slightly teasing voice came from behind her.

The clones turned their heads at the sound and saw Wasabi standing quietly by the roadside, leaning against a road sign pole that had been heated red by lightning, and the pole was making a creaking sound as the metal twisted.

It still delivers the kind of entertainment that audiences love.

Haha, even Aizen has come this time.

Wasabi understands the importance of creating a good show.

In other words?

That's right, wasabi won!

Inside the live broadcast room, the guests were delighted.

Is this the real thing? Or just another fake?

It could be the original body, a clone pretending to be the original body, or the original body pretending to be a clone pretending to be the original body.

Fighting is exhausting, but what if we don't fight?

I can't tell the difference between the fawns, I really can't, so I'll just hit them first.

Based on her speculation, it would be impossible for a top-tier sorcerer to have a low level of mental exertion in creating such a highly realistic series of illusions.

As long as she persists and perseveres, the advantage will inevitably lie with her...

"But that's the mindset of a loser!"

She needs to think of a direct solution while fighting!

The next instant, lightning erupted.

Thousands of clones rushed towards the wasabi at the same time, but the Ruyi Cudgel arrived first, smashing into him with immense force.

Then a thunderous roar erupted, splintering stones flew everywhere, and a two-meter-diameter crater was smashed into the cement ground. The wasabi, as before, shattered and dissipated into the air.

Damn it, it's just another illusion.

The deer's cheeks flushed crimson, and a warm, restless emotion rushed into her nostrils like the taste of wasabi.

"Hmph! Playing tricks!"

She knew that this emotion was called "red warmth".

At this moment, the live stream chat was flooded with comments.

<The Deer, This Red Warm>

Are you not in a hurry?

"Anyone who doesn't get a headache from eating too much wasabi, right, Little Deer?"

<666, this is also available on AiLu TV>

It's a pity that in this world, deer that only know how to fill their laps are harder to find than deer that possess their own territory.

After the red heat subsided, the lightning quickly receded.

Lu Ziyun's thousands of clones froze in place, as if a pause button had been pressed. Only the arcs of electricity floating in the air continued to move, illuminating the remaining dust as tiny specks of light.

At least seventeen large-scale lightning strike marks on the ground, charred by lightning, are slowly emitting smoke, with the largest covering half a street.

The fire hydrant on the street was blown away, and water jets were spraying upwards at irregular angles. For Dr. Spellcaster, electrolyzing water can produce hydrogen and oxygen, and a full-screen explosion that can indiscriminately explode enemies is also a viable solution, but it is too inefficient and will not be used for the time being.

Lu Ziyun slowly raised her right hand, spreading her five fingers as if to grasp something.

She is feeling it.

Telepathy—an ability she honed over years of in-depth research into electromagnetism.

Firstly, it can lock onto hidden enemies by sensing their life magnetic field.

Secondly, by reading faint brainwaves, it is possible to vaguely read the enemy's mind.

The combination of these two intelligence capabilities is quite effective in combat against carbon-based humans who possess both magnetism and intelligence.

But in this battle, the ability failed.

As a fundamentalist organic human being, Xia Jie possesses both a life magnetic field and brainwaves, making her her natural enemy.

But the illusion created by the mirror flower and water moon can perfectly simulate both of these, so much so that every fake gives her the feeling, "Wow! This is the real thing!"

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Then Lu Ziyun smiled.

"You're a junior, I respect you."

She was out of options.

Xiaolu had to admit that this guy named Wasabi was an opponent of the same or even stronger level as her.

In particular, that strange hand chop that easily cut her in half made her realize that relying on her past skills was no longer enough. She had to discover more of her potential and develop new and effective moves to defeat this troublesome enemy.

The battle of brute force has been lost; the battle of wits begins.

So, should we use "restraint"?

Right now? Right here?

Seventeen scorch marks on the ground lit up simultaneously, faint light seeping through the cracks, the dissipated charge becoming usable again under the guidance of the tent. The Ruyi Cudgel flew back into her hand once more, its fine lightning patterns clearly visible, each line glowing.

"At the cost of me being unable to use Black Flash in this battle—"

All the clones spoke at the same time, and thousands of different words were mixed together. Each one was a different kind of constraint. In the midst of the noise, only the content of one constraint was still clear.

"-In exchange for a moderate increase in spell power efficiency."

The bondage is valid, and it is valid in its entirety.

In the next instant, thousands of clones simultaneously formed hand seals, their movements perfectly synchronized.

"Domain expansion".

Every sound carried a mysterious rhythm, and every sound made the tent a little brighter.

The residual electrical charges and spell power floating in the air seemed to come alive under the influence of the tent, transforming back into usable power.

The temperature in the air rose again, the smoke and dust were pierced by the electric arc, and the water on the ground sizzled due to the high temperature.

Within the perfectly magical environment created by the tent, the multiple realms created by the clones were able to connect and merge with each other.

"The Infernal Thunder Prison".

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space inside the tent was instantly filled with lightning, like a cube made of lightning that completely filled the street.

The ground began to crack from the concrete surface, breaking off piece by piece to expose the cement underneath, which was then scorched black in the next breath.

The building's exterior walls are crumbling. The glass has long since shattered; now it's the reinforced concrete itself's turn—lightning bolts spread upwards along the steel frame, like plant roots clinging to a wall, peeling away in patches of concrete to reveal the reddish steel bars beneath. The steel bars soften, bend, and droop under the intense heat, like a weary style.

The magic staff darted through the lightning, reaching speeds of several Mach. Each turn left a white sonic boom trail in the air before being swallowed by the lightning. Its crisscrossing trajectory sliced ​​the already dilapidated streets into even smaller fragments.

The continuous ionization should have made the air unbreathable, but fortunately, there was no room for air in the tent at this moment.

"Now let's see how you escape!"

The little deer felt like it could do it again!

Then Xia Jie appeared.

"Domain Expansion: Pure Land of Love and Devotion"

He stood right in the middle of the street, on a relatively intact section of concrete pavement, the only spot on the entire street without any obvious scorch marks. He simply stood there quietly, without even adopting a defensive posture.

The violent lightning struck him, reducing his HP to 0, but it was useless.

The first bolt of lightning struck his shoulder like raindrops falling into a lake, merging silently without even a ripple.

Then came the second, the third, the tenth... all the lightning bolts changed their nature the moment they touched him, from violent to docile, from aggressive to affectionate.

Kimi, who was breathing heavily, transformed into a docile cat, responding to the wasabi attack with a gentle, almost affectionate, whining manner.

Lu Ziyun felt herself losing control of the lightning.

That was not neutralization, but rather "transformation".

The lightning bolts automatically chose to betray him. Although they still acknowledged her authority as the creator, they thought, "Sorry, you can't stop me from going to someone better."

In short, there are cows.

What startled Xiaolu even more was that her body was leaning slightly forward, as if being pulled by some invisible force, instinctively wanting to get closer to him.

Body: Am I going to be bullied too?

The patch of ground beneath Xia Jie's feet, which could be considered intact, was preserved by him through "transformation," while everything outside of it had been reduced to scorched earth.

"This time, the real expansion of the domain is underway."

Xia Jie's heartfelt words flowed through the bonds of her soul, like a clear stream flowing into Lu Ziyun's heart, calm and serene.

"The Pure Land is not pure white, but a colorless land, a land of non-contention."

"It will not clash with or contend with your domain, but will embrace it like heaven and earth, and then influence it with gentle and sincere love."

The comments in the live stream only guessed half of it correctly. The "environment," or rather the "world," can only be remembered briefly after it has happened.

But because of the influence of love, all things that obey his command can achieve near-perfect illusions if the control is precise enough.

The first exploration of the realm was both real and fake.

That pure white, immaculate paradise was, from beginning to end, a false realm created by manipulating all things in heaven and earth.

The true Pure Land, which is without color or form, is integrated into all phenomena and has been open to this day.

It could be said that from that moment on, the little deer's failure was already destined.

Lu Ziyunyi deactivated her clone state, and thousands of figures merged into one like water, reforming into a complete person.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. The lightning receded from her body, like the receding tide, revealing the red-hot rubble that had been burned by the lightning.

She looked down at her hands, then looked up at Xia Jie.

Then she laughed.

I'm at peace with you, brothers.

I encountered a dung monster in the login square. Its NTR technique was as powerful as the monster, and I couldn't defeat it no matter how hard I tried.

"I lost this battle."

She stuck the magic staff beside her, and the iron rod sank half an inch into the scorched earth, standing there steadily.

"Give me a quick death."

The fawn spread its arms and threw itself into the ground.

Xia Jie glanced at her.

"As you wish."

He gently raised his right hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

"Smack."

Lu Ziyunyi's body disintegrated and vanished like quicksand, first her limbs, then her torso, and finally her smiling face.

Three breaths later, only a magic staff remained, silently stuck in the scorched earth in the center of the street.

Two lines of text lit up in the noisy live stream room.

"The virtual duel has ended. The live stream will close in three seconds."

Winner: Wasabi

In the metaverse reality, players log in to the plaza.

Lu Ziyun returned via teleportation, jumping around a couple of times as if to confirm that her limbs were still attached to her body.

She was still wearing her white sports jacket, which didn't match her fighting style, and there wasn't a trace of battle damage.

"Love...?"

She turned her head to look at Xia Jie beside her, a big smile spreading across her face.

"A rather interesting system of alien curse power. I probably won't forget this battle for a week, Wasabi."

She moved the magic staff on her shoulder to a more comfortable position and tilted her head.

"The sparring is over. How about I show you around the metaverse?"

Xia Jie glanced at her, then at the handsome and straight Ruyi Wand. Although he didn't need a guide, he wouldn't mind if someone was willing to take the initiative to guide him.

"OK."

"Lead the way."
