Qiong hurriedly interrupted, then gently stroked the Flame Spear. "Well, on the other hand, having a sword but not using it is much better than having no sword at all. I'll accept this modification to my Flame Spear."
Just then, Qiong Mingrui's eyes caught something unusual, and after a brief moment of thought, he decided to make a run for it.
"Brother Hua, I'm going to use my willpower to open the Flame Spear. I'm leaving now."
Qiong took her flaming spear and flew away.
Hua Wu watched this scene and sighed softly, "He says one thing but does another, what a..."
"You little rascal. You're the same."
Hua Wu suddenly turned around, and Xing Xiao had already appeared in his face without him noticing.
Only now did he understand why Qiong had run so fast.
"Why are you still here? Aren't you...?"
"This is my freedom, and this is how it is. I find that the farther away you are, the more anxious I become. I'm afraid that you will disappear without a trace like before."
Hua Wu's lips twitched. "You...you're not exaggerating, are you?"
Xingxiao remained calm. "Exaggeration? It's just a temporary departure. I feel like a night without you has already been very long."
Faced with Xingxiao's relentless pursuit, Huawu turned around and went behind him, saying, "I'm not some addictive drug, it can't be that bad, can it?"
Xingxiao's maxed-out cheesy pickup lines came into play: "No, you are, you are my lifesaver. Without your heart, I'll be finished sooner or later."
(Hua Wu: Holy crap... invincible.)
"Since you've put it that way, it would seem like I'm unromantic if I refused. Come on, do whatever you want."
Hua Wu raised both hands high and opened them wide. He couldn't have taught himself how to do it, plus he had only been offensive and hadn't learned any defensive moves.
There's no way around it, life is like this: if you don't want to resist, then enjoy it.
"Why don't you refuse? I even prepared several sets of conversations to chat with you. I thought you liked this kind of verbal expression."
Xingxiao had actually prepared a whole bunch of talking points, but to his surprise, Huawu surrendered immediately.
Hua Wu was a little surprised that Xing Xiao didn't pounce on him directly. "What, is this unexpected? Aren't you going to do anything? I'm going to start pushing the plot forward. I'll have to go to the space station in a couple of days if nothing unexpected happens."
Xingxiao didn't know why, but she now felt like a hypocrite, afraid that after she did those things, Hua Wu would ignore her again. That feeling of growing increasingly anxious the more she wanted it made her head pound.
"Are you that busy? Why don't you go back to the Legion, throw that madman Burning Wind out, and just lie around in the Legion? You never liked doing anything before. And when you do something, you only do things that interest you. I still think the Legion is more suitable for you."
Hua Wu shook his head and refused, saying, "It's not suitable. The legion is too lazy. I'll become a cripple from lying around."
Upon hearing this, Xingxiao exclaimed, "Isn't that perfect? That way, you won't be able to escape, you'll only be able to..."
Upon hearing this tone, Hua Wu rubbed his head and said, "Stop having such dangerous ideas."
"Stop my thoughts? I can't stop. Just thinking about you, so high and mighty, makes me feel utterly powerless. Like a patient lying in bed... the contrast between heaven and earth... I've made up my mind, how about you pretend to be a patient for a day?"
Hua Wu's heart skipped a beat; he decided to pretend to be dead for a while afterward.
"I've agreed. We'll talk about it later, it won't be too long. I'm going to watch the game now."
Xingxiao automatically filtered out Hua Wu's riddle and only heard "watching the game," "watching the game? You were really cunning yesterday, not playing by the rules, which made me feel a little unreal."
"Why are you ignoring me again? Do you think I'm annoying? Sure enough, people are like two microphones; if they get too close, there will be noise."
Hua Wu watched the back-and-forth match on the field. "Yes and no. When two microphones are close together, you can just turn one off. So I was just listening to your voice."
Xingxiao suddenly joked, "Then, can you write an 824-word review?"
Hua Wu unexpectedly replied, "Yes."
Then he handed Xingxiao a piece of paper covered with the word "Man".
Xingxiao:.......
"Same as before, it's still this character with no clear meaning."
......
On the stage————
"It seems that as long as there are enough rules, you're no good once you lose that power outside of those rules. Compared to him, you still lack many tricks up your sleeve."
Giovanni was full of confidence, his eyes fixed on Xing's hand. If Xing made any move, he would win the match.
He just wanted to win fair and square, to play a purely skill-based match without any cheats.
Chapter 213 Star: Rules? To My Use!
"Yes, I can't compare to him. But beating you is enough. The rules state that only the Ether Spirits in the Pokédex can be used. Don't worry, I won't do something as low as modifying the Pokédex."
Giovanni looked at Xing's health bar, which was as fragile as a candle in the wind, and said with an air of confidence, "What are you trying to do? You chose a lineup that I counter from the start, and then in the game... I don't know if it was genuine emotion or intentional, but you've created this doomed situation. But none of that matters anymore. Miss Xing, your performance should come to an end."
"The curtain falls? Indeed, your performance should come to an end, Mr. Giovanni!"
Xing took out a long spear from the space beside him and threw it in front of Giovanni.
"You've been tricked, Jojo! This is my path to victory! Prepare to be eliminated by your own rules! Rules? To my advantage!"
The quantum fragments erupted, and the etheric spirits covered by the shockwave began to rage erratically. In the end, all of Giovanni's etheric spirits transformed into his own likeness.
Giovanni was stunned by what he saw. "What?! They actually used this method... How despicable, Miss Nameless."
Xing said with a mocking smile, "Giovanni, you who always follow the rules have broken them too. Do you understand the bug in the rules now? You should thank me properly. Lie on the ground and thank me, because I'm the one who made you realize how big a loophole your rules have."
Giovanni is now like a mute eating a fly—disgusting and speechless.
"Hahaha..."
He laughed with relief, he laughed with anger.
"I never expected that the rules of the Ether Spirit would have such a loophole... It was truly... a performance riddled with flaws. My performance is over, Miss Nameless Guest."
Giovanni intends to step off the ring; he is about to declare his defeat.
Seeing Giovanni's decisiveness, Xing echoed Qiong's tone towards Luca, saying, "How ugly, Mr. Giovanni. Such a brilliant match, with the outcome already decided, has to end like this. I think I'll never forget you."
"My performance ends here, Miss Xing. Your despicable wisdom has earned you the champion's title at the Interstellar Grand Celebration. As for those two expert players, you already know who one of them is, so she probably won't be coming. The other one... I personally don't want you to compete, but according to the rules, she's waiting for you at Everwinter Ridge."
Xing paused briefly, recalling yesterday's events, and remembered that the Walter trap seemed to be right there.
“Eternal Winter Ridge? But I refuse. What I love most is to go against those self-righteous losers who think they have everything under control.”
"Besides, I'm the one competing here, but my team isn't just me. I have a feeling that my friend has already arrived there and encountered that expert player you mentioned."
Giovanni: ......
"Then let's see your friends through the broadcast camera of Yongdongling."
Xing immediately lost her composure. She had only been joking, just letting her inner chuunibyou act out. She hadn't expected Giovanni to be serious. "Uh...you actually did?"
Giovanni said calmly, "Out of respect for the Ethernet tournament and my own love for the game."
Xing was prepared to make the trip, but when she saw the passionate Walter in the scene, she realized how absurd the world was.
"What's Uncle Yang doing there?!"
Yongdongling —
“Little friend, this is not a place for you.” Walter always felt that there was something strange debuffing about the education in this universe. The children here always seemed to be running towards danger.
"This is my territory, Lord Hook. If you want to leave, you'll have to challenge me."
Danheng glanced at the hole-punching machine next to Hook and then shook his head.
"Child, you shouldn't be able to beat us."
Walter felt that Danheng seemed to lack a bit of childlike innocence. "Danheng, that's not what I meant. It should be some kind of game, like rock-paper-scissors."
"Hmph, Lord Hook in the Dark is the strongest." Hook didn't say much, but simply summoned his four Overlord-level Ether Spirits.
Walter was about to fire when he realized that these monsters did not exhibit the usual imaginary number reaction.
"So that's how it is. It's an Aether Spirit duel. I didn't expect the game to have developed to this extent on this planet. Perfect timing, since Efeng returned, I haven't fought alongside it yet."
Dan Heng silently stepped aside; he didn't want to be labeled as someone who bullied children.
Upon hearing this, Hook was certain that this was the player who would face her in the final showdown. "Hmph, Lord Hook of Darkness is invincible!"
"This kind of slogan... hmm, let me think." Walter glanced around, confirming that only Danheng was there...
He proclaimed in the same tone, "Ha... the nameless traveler in the Milky Way never retreats!"
Danheng: ......
The audience seats —
"Uncle Yang...has his image completely collapsed? Where is the most reliable elder of our train crew? How did he become like this?!" March 7 felt that their train crew's reputation had crashed at this moment, burned to ashes.
"Oh no, Uncle Yang really went? Was that robot really a trap? Good thing he didn't know..."
March 7th turned around and looked at Qiong, who had appeared out of nowhere, and said, "Qiong? Why are you alone? Where's Hua Wu? Didn't you two go out together?"
Qiong looked heartbroken. "Brother Hua... Brother Hua sacrificed himself to control Xingxiao so that I wouldn't be destroyed by Xingxiao."
On March 7th, keywords were extracted, leading to the conclusion, "Um...he's dating again, right?"
Qiong wasn't quite sure, because when he saw those eyes radiating purple and blue light in the darkness...
He knew then that "preservation" could not protect his safety, and "destruction" could not destroy the danger. Both of his cards were now useless.
He only had one option left: run!
"Right? But I remember Xingxiao said yesterday that he would give Hua Ge freedom... and he broke his promise tonight."
On March 7th, as she recalled Hua Wu's achievements, she suddenly thought of that ultimate true form, and instantly felt terrible.
"Um...he doesn't need us to worry. We should be thinking about where this news will get."
"What things?"
Starting on March 7th, the list included: "You beat up the ambitious young man Yalilo, you and Xing violently beat up company employees, we repeatedly cheated in the competition, and what's about to happen on Uncle Yang's side...bullying children."
Qiong, looking completely unfazed, said, "This kind of thing is irrelevant."
Chapter 214 Xingxiao: What are you thinking about? Huawu: I want to lock you up.
“It’s insignificant? This…” March 7th suddenly remembered that Qiong was also a madman.
