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

Xia Jie, who was born without any magical abilities, spoke of Gu Xiaolu.

"I learned it from my mom."

The little deer raised its magic staff, pointing it directly at Xia Jie:

"Don't change the subject, where's your technique?"

At this point, 13 seconds of the battle have passed, and the original 30-second limit is almost halfway over.

The little deer was getting a little impatient.

"No, if I had to say, love is my magic."

"Noble, pure, and selfless love, as well as twisted, base, and ugly love, all reside in my heart."

"Love is the universe."

"Love is omnipotent."

Xia Jie shrugged and said that the Love Curse Power System he developed did not have the concept of innate spells at all.

Love itself is an all-powerful ideal, and constructing a formula for it is completely superfluous.

He is the very source of love, the very foundation of affection and bonds. With love, even the theory of lifespan can be easily defeated; why add further, limited-function spells?

"Huh? Are you kidding me?!"

Eighteen seconds into the duel, feeling tricked, Lu Ziyun decided to go all out.

She's getting serious!

Chapter 148 War! War! War!

"Playing you? No way."

Xia Jie flicked her wrist, using her magical power to restore the surface of her fist that had been burned by lightning, and calmly said, "In the metaverse where gods and humans abound, anything is possible."

"That's true."

The deer's anger subsided immediately.

The metaverse events she personally experienced were never short of monsters and demons.

A hundred years ago in the personal timeline, after the inner universe was added, the diversity of the metaverse increased significantly.

There have even been geniuses who briefly breached the outermost firewall of the network just to bypass its own anti-addiction mechanism.

During the interview, that guy even shouted that intelligence had no right to award him a medal, but unfortunately he later switched to researching love robots, what a waste of his great talent.

“The Yuan Universe is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. There are also people like you who abandon techniques and pursue the possibility of acquired techniques.”

Unlike the innate "innate skills", things like "tents, veils, fallen flowers, and sealing talismans on the fingers of Su Nuo" are all skills that can be learned later in life.

Unfortunately, in the traditional sorcery system, a person's total sorcery power is innate. If you are born with a prison-like power level like Miwa Kasumi or Zenin Shin'ei, unless you are a groundbreaking genius of sorcery, it will be difficult to make a name for yourself by studying sorcery throughout your life.

Even if you grit your teeth and take out a loan, unless you're willing to live to the end and chase fleeting glory like fireworks, you still won't get anything out of it.

But things are different now. This is a metaverse where strength and intelligence are readily available. Those who can carve out niche tracks and build distinctive combat systems are more sought after than mass-produced, low-quality players.

It seems that "Wasabi" is a player who intends to explore the realm of love.

Very ambitious, what a pity...

The outcome at this moment is meaningless.

The winner is Kono LuLu!

'Ten Shadows Stream - Thunderclap Flash!'

Without uttering the name of the move aloud, lightning crackled beneath Lu Ziyun's feet, and her figure vanished in an instant, leaving behind only the cracked ground and a large amount of rubble flying everywhere.

Nine illusory images of sound and light, simulated by electromagnetic force, rushed towards the flawed "Wasabi." Each one was filled with murderous intent and carried a violent aura of cursed power, but each one was fake.

Even the footprints that cracked the ground misled the direction of force, so that a perceptive person could mistake the semi-invisible tenth phantom on the left for her true form by observing the footprints.

But this is still a misjudgment.

She is the true form, having mastered four acquired spells: Concealing Breath, Invisibility, Wind Concealment, and Instant Step!

Little Deer is truly a wise strategist.

'I'll finish you off with this one strike in the 26th second!'

As its name suggests, the real Lu Ziyun was several times faster than all the illusions. Ignoring the optical illusions created by the deflection of light, she appeared like lightning beside Zhen Xiajie, who was two steps away from the illusions. She unleashed her full power of magic and thrust out the Ruyi Staff, which was powerful enough to break through the normal Falling Flower Emotion.

'A mere optical illusion, you think you can fool this old man's life magnetic field induction?'

'Overestimating yourself!'

Xiaolu had a feeling that after this attack, she could finally pop the champagne.

In any case, the system will limit the amount of blood and pain perceived by the five senses during a duel, depending on the individual, and suppress the level of pain to a level that the player can bear. There is no need to worry about traumatizing newcomers.

As long as Wasabi isn't some trashy little shrimp who gets scared of the censored version of the duel, she and Wasabi will still be good buddies after she withdraws from the duel.

"What!?"

At 26.01 seconds, the blow missed its mark; Xia Jie in front of him was also an illusion.

The real Xia Jie gently patted Xiao Lu's shoulder from behind, then flashed a lightning-fast counterattack.

“There’s nothing surprising about it. I captured the surrounding environment with love, and they remembered my form and scent.”

"The physical body you perceive is merely the environment's memory of me."

"Similarly, being able to sense the love in your heart, I can naturally find your true form with precision."

As Xia Jie explained her abilities and completed the "revelation of the technique," her magical power became slightly more abundant.

It is, after all, a variant of the spell system, so it still has the basic "binding" function.

<Conceptual abilities are purely for bluffing; I suggest sitting at the same table as Takahashi Fumihiko.>

<What the heck! A mischievous child teasing an old man?>

<I never imagined he was a sorcerer of this caliber.jpg>

"whispering sound!"

The little deer bared its teeth upon hearing this, gripped the magic staff, and quickly retreated fifteen meters away, its cheeks flushed slightly.

"The reason you lost is that you didn't take advantage of the moment when you patted my shoulder to kill me with your full strength!"

"The reason for the defeat?" Xia Jie raised an eyebrow. "The battle is only just beginning."

"Really? Yes. That might be the case!"

Lu Ziyun grinned, revealing her white canine teeth.

She's a genius player who's confident she can break into the top 10,000 in the super-small cup rank of a regional ranking tournament with millions of participants.

Although encountering someone like Wasabi, who possesses troublesome abilities, was indeed unexpected for her.

But she will never fall here!

"Expanding the Territory!"

As Xiao Lu wielded the Ruyi Cudgel to attack Xia Jie, she formed hand seals.

She wanted to see how Mustard, without a sorcerer, would cope when faced with the domain of the orthodox sorcery system.

"Domain Expansion—"

Sensing the power of the incantation, Xia Jie also began chanting. Without needing to form hand seals, she clenched her fists and simultaneously unleashed a black flash, knocking the incoming Ruyi Cudgel back to the deer's feet.

With his spell power system, he doesn't need to form any additional hand seals to expand his domain. Even in the orthodox system, he can create a "domain-like" domain using the technique of "mental image projection".

Even reciting the name of a domain is just to create a certain atmosphere, making it feel more enjoyable to say it out loud.

The next moment—

"Infernal Thunder Prison!!!"

"Love and Pure Land".

Since both of their domains are open, no black shell was generated.

The azure hell of lightning collided violently with the pure white paradise of love, and then, at the same time, they began to shrink.

Here's something even a top-tier sorcerer knows: the range of a domain is inversely proportional to its strength; that is, the smaller the domain, the higher its strength.

If we ignore the impact of spell performance on domain strength, in the case of similar strength and the same domain type, whoever has a more refined domain is more likely to win the domain battle.

The two simultaneously contracted their domains in perfect unison, precisely to prevent the other from using this move to reverse the already decided outcome.

At least that's what Lu Ziyun herself thinks.

As for Xia Jie...

You are not a mustard seed, how can you know the meaning of a mustard seed?

Meanwhile, in the live stream room:

<Player "My Eyes Are a Ruler": Based on visual estimation, the radius of the Infernal Thunder Prison is 763.151 meters, and the radius of the Pure Land of Love is 914.016 meters. If we only compare the strength of the domains themselves, there's no doubt that Mustard Bro's domain is stronger.>

<Player Liu Huaqiang: Bros., don't forget that Mustard doesn't have any spells. His domain doesn't have any guaranteed hit or critical strike. Its only purpose is to help him survive within the opponent's domain, just like Mi Xu Ge Long did!>

<Player's Perspective: The outcome remains uncertain. If Mustard's claim of lacking any magical formulas is true, then his domain isn't equipped with any formulas; it's simply a projection of his mind. But then again, if the concept of "love" truly is his ability, then his mental projections are probably...>

<Player - Fence-Sitter: Brothers, I've prepared two sets of stories.>

<Player - Brass Throne: Boring discussion, I want to see rivers of blood!>

Chapter 149 Can a Domain Be Fake?

Both of their domains contracted at an extremely rapid pace, shrinking by hundreds of meters in radius every second. In a few more seconds, their domains would condense to within an inch of their bodies.

This is almost the highest shrinking speed of an open field without using "causal resistance" and "binding" cheats.

The reason they don't need resistance is because neither of them has it, and the reason they don't need binding is because binding itself will produce a small and special change in magical power. Once the other party notices it, the scene can easily turn into a boring battle of "who can borrow more."

Although this change is so small that it is almost impossible to detect in the magical environment during battle, otherwise Gojo Satoru, whose brain was almost burning out from activating his domain, would not have been instantly killed by the borrowed air slash.

But unlike the quiet spatial slash, even if the restraints are concealed, the sudden acceleration of the domain's contraction can catch enemies off guard.
