Douluo Dragon King: My Strategy System Is a Bit Off

Chapter 43 Reunion After Ten Thousand Years

Inside the observation room.

Wu Changkong nodded in satisfaction at the fighting performance of the others. However, when he looked at Lin Ci's side, his brows furrowed slightly.

Logically speaking, Lin Ci should have been the most trustworthy one. But in this situation, she was the one who encountered the problem.

The reason was simple: when facing the girl, Lin Ci kept dodging and didn't launch any decent counterattacks.

This is very abnormal.

Even if the opponent assigned to him was the strongest second-ring member of that generation of Shrek Seven Devils, it shouldn't have come to this.

Wu Changkong felt a sense of doubt. Based on his understanding of Lin Ci, this child was quite outstanding in both strength and combat awareness, and would never have been so evasive when facing an opponent of the same level.

Lin Ci, standing in the arena, had fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead as he dodged the girl's fierce attacks.

The girl with long blue and pink hair had a pair of colorful wings behind her. She did not delay her attack because Lin Ci did not dodge; on the contrary, her attack was extremely fierce.

The butterfly wings behind the girl suddenly stretched to five meters in length, each feather shimmering with a seven-colored halo. As her soul power surged, the countless feathers of light transformed into a torrential downpour, illuminating half the sky as if it were daytime.

A golden light shield suddenly appeared in front of Lin Ci, with light elements gathering in front of him to block the sky full of light feathers.

But just as the light feather ended, the first yellow hundred-year soul ring under the girl's body suddenly lit up, and the next moment she rushed straight to the front, and the wings on her back suddenly cut forward in a straight line.

Butterfly God Slash!

This is the girl's strongest single-target attack, especially when used at close range, where its power can be amplified to the extreme.

Lin Ci's expression hardened slightly; the power of this attack had clearly exceeded his expectations. The shield composed of light elements was still too weak, shattering almost instantly under this blow.

But this time he did not continue to dodge. His second purple millennium soul ring lit up, and a light sword condensed in his hand, colliding head-on with the Butterfly God Slash.

Although the Butterfly God Slash was powerful enough, Lin Ci's soul power was only level 30, and the suppression of soul power level was enough for him to use the lightsaber to defend against it.

With such close proximity, Lin Ci was able to see the girl's clear face up close.

Lin Ci never imagined that their next meeting would be here, after ten thousand years.

Fragments of memories began to resurface from the depths of his mind, and he naturally wouldn't forget them. However, after each mission, in addition to maintaining his state of mind, the system also suppressed the memories of the mission itself.

It's not that it's erased, but rather that it's sealed deep within her mind, layered behind other memories. Unless Lin Ci actively seeks them out, they won't spontaneously flood her mind in normal life. This is also to make it easier for Lin Ci to start the next mission in the latest state.

But now, seeing that face, those memories naturally flood back into my mind.

It's hard not to be truly captivated by a beautiful girl who is both proud and youthful, even for someone like Lin Ci who has already completed many romance quests.

At their first meeting, her disguise as a boy was constantly exposed, but the girl arrogantly believed it was flawless. He'd forgotten when he finally revealed her true identity. It just seemed like suddenly, her short hair had transformed into waist-length, blue-pink hair.

She also changed into a long dress and began to show the shyness of a young girl.

Lin Ci's hand holding the sword suddenly trembled. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he could smell a familiar fragrance emanating from the ends of the hair of this virtual character, a scent that almost overlapped with the one he remembered smelling on a snowy night when he tiptoed to tie a cloak around the shore of Sea God Lake.

As the Butterfly God's Slash landed, the girl flapped her wings once more and soared into the sky. At that moment, her second spirit ring lit up—a purple, thousand-year spirit ring.

The surrounding space seemed to be imbued with a dreamlike quality by this strange soul power. The pair of magnificent butterfly wings on her back trembled gently, each vein shimmering with a unique luster.

The Light of the Butterfly Goddess!

A dazzling ball of seven-colored light rapidly gathered around her body, within which countless tiny light butterflies seemed to dance. As the girl pushed her hands forward, this ball of light shot straight towards Lin Ci like a shooting star.

As the light traveled, the surrounding air seemed to ignite, emitting a hissing sound. Beams of colorful light scattered from the main body of the light, like sharp arrows, carving deep trenches into the surrounding ground.

There is no doubt that dodging this attack is impossible.

Beneath Lin Ci, three thousand-year soul rings lit up simultaneously, but this time the latter two thousand-year soul rings were attached to the first thousand-year soul ring.

That is, his first soul skill.

A dazzling light slowly shone from Lin Ci's hand. His first soul skill was not simply holy light. That effect only occurred when his soul power was weak and he could control less light element.

Now, with Lin Ci gaining more and more control over the light element, coupled with the addition of two thousand-year soul rings, this is far from the original holy light.

The light in Lin Ci's hand grew stronger and stronger, as if it had gathered all the light in the world into it. The originally gentle and holy light had become magnificent and majestic. The light distorted the surrounding space as if it were a tangible thing, forming a huge halo that exuded a holy aura.

The light wheel spun rapidly, and the light emitted from its center countered the light of the Butterfly God.

The scattered colored rays resisted the light on the halo.

The Light of the Butterfly Goddess is indeed powerful, but Lin Ci is on the right!

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Historically, the left side of a wave has always been the weakest point, except...

The girl on the left lost and did not launch another attack.

"Thirty seconds to go, first level cleared."

The test lasts only thirty seconds; you pass even if you don't defeat the enemy.

When Lin Ci saw the girl's virtual figure disappear, his hand unconsciously reached out, but then seemed to remember something, paused in mid-air for a moment, and then withdrew.

"Thirty seconds," Lin Ci sighed slightly.

He always felt like it was a lifetime. After all, those memories had all come back to him again. It felt like a lifetime to him.

What wasn't mentioned was that at the end of the story, the boy who came to pursue her, faced with almost zero affection points and the so-called obstacle of the thread of fate, couldn't even participate in the Sea God's Fate event...

"The final level, defeat your opponent!"

The mechanical voice came again, and Lin Ci slowly raised her head.

This time, however, the virtual character was no longer expressionless; instead, it had a touch of humanity. The not-so-handsome young man smiled slightly at Lin Ci.

"have not seen you for a long time."

These two chapters were really difficult to write; there were just too many things to think about.

I don't know if everyone can understand, but I don't mean amnesia or being sealed away. It's just like having a closest person suddenly leave you. Normally, you would definitely remember it no matter what you do, but Lin Ci won't. Although he has this memory, as long as he doesn't actively think about it, it won't affect his emotions.

The next chapter may take longer to complete, and may be updated in the evening.

Also, I will definitely make up for the chapters I owe everyone; I mean what I say. I promise I won't leave anything unfinished within these fifteen days. It's just that I really can't manage these last two days. One relative comes over today, another tomorrow, and after meals we chat, which makes it almost impossible for me to find a complete block of time to write. I'm very sorry.
