Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

Memory is a long river.

This long river is a person's life itself.

The past shapes the future.

"I want my Su Chang to become the best in the world."

Qin Suying said this.

"If you can master the Sword God technique, then I say you can, and you can."

Cheng Ling Shuang said this.

If it can be accomplished in ten years, then wait ten years; if it can be accomplished in twenty years, then wait twenty years.

When Li Sushang made up her mind to go to the northern desert, she was determined to become the best in the world!

……

"That is……"

Fu Hua's eyes narrowed when she saw the Xuanyuan Sword in front of Li Sushang.

"The Sword of Taixu, Ruoshui? This child's sword spirit..."

Mei Zijin was also taken aback.

Taixu Sword is like water.

Just like Xiao Hong back then, it is also Cheng Lixue's sword hundreds of years later.

Different people have actually grasped the same sword intent.

"I am the number one in the world... I am the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect... I am Cheng Ling Shuang's disciple!"

Li Sushang, leaning on her sword, said hysterically,

"My name is Li Sushang! If I say I can master the Sword God Technique, then I will definitely be able to learn it!"

"Wanxi! Cover her!"

Lin Chaoyu was horrified. He took a step forward and thrust his sword at Chi You.

"Yes!"

Jiang Wanxi was a step too slow, and she thrust out her sword as well.

Chi You then unleashed a punch, colliding the three of them together.

Chi You remained unmoved, while the two retreated simultaneously.

Fu Hua frowned, then moved slightly and instantly appeared in front of Chi You.

"Red Kite?! Alright, come on!!!"

Chi You's expression changed, his newly grown hands crossed, and Fu Hua threw a punch, shouting—

"Inch Force, Heaven-Splitting!"

Chi You's arms jerked violently, causing him to lose his footing and stumble back several steps.

"Take this!"

Jiang Wanxi drew her sword again, aiming for Chi You's throat, but he bit her down.

Lin Chaoyu then flashed to Chi You's side. Chi You glanced at her indifferently, locked her in his arms, and Lin Chaoyu groaned as all the bones in her body broke at once.

"Senior Sister!!!"

Just as Jiang Wanxi cried out, Chi You's left leg grew back, and he kicked out, hitting Lin Chaoyu squarely in the chest, before tossing her aside like a rag.

"...Judicial level and above."

Mei Zijin's face turned pale.

Lin Chaoyu and Jiang Wanxi are both capable of hunting down Emperor-level Honkai Beasts, making them top-tier experts in the current human world.

However, when faced with Chi You, whose Honkai energy had been reduced by half, he was defeated in just a few exchanges.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

However, their efforts were not in vain.

Not only did Chi You not have time to attack Fu Hua, but the girl's sword intent also reached its peak.

"Otto!"

Mei Zijin's sleeve flashed, and dark green Honkai energy spread out. Otto, meanwhile, charged forward with a flash of fire in his hand.

"Die!"

Chi You roared and directly endured the dark green Honkai energy, his skin and flesh were burned open, and before Otto could swing his sword, he punched him in the face.

Mei Zijin immediately rushed forward, held off Otto, and was rolled several times on the ground along with him.

Fu Hua struck again, blocking the second punch, her arm cracking.

At this moment, Li Sushang was finally ready.

Back then, Cheng Ling Shuang comprehended the Sword God in her youth, but she could never learn the Sword Soul.

Her disciple, upon activating his sword soul, actually reached the level of a sword god.

Perhaps this is also a matter of fate between master and disciple, who knows?

"Tai Xu...Sword God!!!"

The sword light brushed past Fu Hua's ear and pierced straight into Chi You's skull.

"...Really..."

"pretty."

……

Cheng Ling Shuang, killed in action.

Lin Chaoyu is dying.

Jiang Wanxi is dying.

Li Sushang was seriously injured.

Chi You... died.

Chapter One: Walter Joyce

Spring 1954

英国

"Dr. Linnaeus, the data has been compiled."

"Joyce, I'm so sorry to have asked you to help me organize these documents. Hmm, how about I treat you to a date?"

"Doctor, this joke isn't funny at all..."

"Really? Waaah, I guess I'm getting old and faded, no match for Lisel and Frederica."

"But you look like you're only in your twenties..."

"Aren't those two even younger? I'm already unpopular among lolicon groups!"

"I... I'm not a lolicon!"

……

This is Laboratory 41 of the Imperial Research Institute under the mandate of Heaven, but in reality, there is only one scientist in this laboratory.

Then there's Meludina Carl von Linnaeus, a beautiful woman whose age is a mystery, claiming to be 24.

"Enough with the jokes, Joyce. How have you been lately? Have you been bothered by any strange men?"

Linnaeus lay lazily on the sofa and handed a cappuccino to the somewhat awkward young man in front of him.

"Didn't we say the joke would end there...?"

Walter Joyce picked up his coffee with trepidation.

"However, there was indeed a strange person who wrote to me."

"I guessed so. What's it called?"

Melutina took a lollipop out of her pocket and put it in her mouth.

"Clown Alpha".

Joyce scratched his head and said.

"Hmm... that name is really tasteless. Anyway, how have you been lately? Lab 42 should be doing much better than you were before, right?"

"Melutina asked."

"Well, Dr. Einstein and Dr. Tesla are both... quite good."

Joyce paused subtly when Tesla was mentioned.

"After all, they are all kind-hearted, among the few conscientious scientists in the Fate Society."

Seeing the young man's confused expression, Melutina stood up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't make that face, young man. Just be yourself for now."

"Even if I'm happy now, I don't know what the future holds. Dr. Linnaeus, how long can this kind of life last?"

Joyce said earnestly.

“Hmm, that’s a good question, Joyce.”

Melutina thought for a moment.

“You know what, Joyce? No one really knows if their life will stay stable forever. People always end up in unexpected places because of some inexplicable reason.”

Although you are special, you are actually no different from everyone else. However…

"but?"
