Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

[The "Circuit Book: Piercing Rainbow" has been successfully used!]

[We are analyzing and helping you learn!]

[Based on the host's existing lineage characteristics, the optimal build path has been adapted for you!]

[Loading progress]

That's right, the reason why Qiji is chatting with Xibei for so long is simply to wait for the new skill to load successfully.

Although Saki could also turn the pointer to the [Moonlight] fragment and then use the [One Night Moonfall] from the Moonlight lineage.

However, unless you can master "Moonfall in One Night" to the level of "Moon Viewing," this thing is essentially closer to a status effect than a lethal effect that can defeat an enemy in one strike.

Moreover, the mental energy consumption of [One Night of the Moon] is too enormous. Although Qi Ji's mental energy increased significantly after the awakening echo, it was enough to release a complete [One Night of the Moon] even without the loan from Silver Prayer.

However, after you finish casting, the blue bar will be empty.

If, when the time comes, the available outcomes don't include the clean, decisive, and absolutely overwhelming victory he desires, it would actually make his "debut" after awakening look flawed.

Therefore, Saki is willing to wait.

Awaiting the echoes of his new lineage—

【Guan Hong】.

……

Saki's words, which were merely meant to buy time, took on a different meaning in the ears of the others.

"There was no response, so you just temporarily awakened one???"

"Are you speaking human language?"

"Awesome! Where are those people who were questioning his genius status? Speak up!"

"Weren't you the one who questioned us the most?"

"Huh? Cough cough!"

……

When Misaki Saku personally admitted that he had awakened the Echo, Hybel not only felt no fear, but instead felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

Now that the other side has also responded, it's finally a battle of equal strength!

Hibel condensed a delicate pocket watch from his inner energy and held it in his hand.

The girl gently flicked open the watch cover with her fingertips.

The pocket watch then began to tick.

Each sound was like a gentle tap on everyone's heartbeat.

The next instant, Hibel unfurled her armor.

Her armor was named—

【Monster of Time】.

Silvery-white particles of light surged from the pocket watch, climbing up her fingertips to her wrists, arms, shoulders, and neck, pulsating like flowing water.

Her attire was not armor, but a long dress made of semi-transparent time. Tiny clock-like images constantly appeared and disappeared at the hem of the dress, like countless miniature timelines blooming and withering around her.

Hybel rarely unarmored herself because she disliked becoming a "monster".

But now, facing this boy who had survived her strongest echo, she decided to hold nothing back.

Just like I said at the beginning—

Go all out!

"From now on, I will not hold back in my attacks."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge, phantom clock appeared behind Hibel.

The pointer reverses, time flows backward!

Hibel activates the echo—

[Reproduced]!

In an instant!

Pierce's Crimson Flame Dragon rose again from the flames.

Wu Ma Ling's ground spikes and lightning strikes intertwined into a net.

There were even every scroll Bai Lili had previously released—

Ice spikes, fire rain, water arrows, wind blades!

Every echo has been witnessed by time.

Now, time has brought them back!

Numerous echoes burst forth simultaneously, blotting out the sky, pouring down upon Asaki Saku alone.

The entire arena was engulfed by various colored lights, and the air was torn apart by countless sharp shrieks.

It was a scene of utter cataclysmic destruction!

In the audience, everyone stared wide-eyed, shocked by what they saw.

After donning her armor, Sybel's fighting style is completely different from before!

If she was an elegant and composed princess before, then at this moment, she is a truly terrifying monster!

Everyone couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for Saki.

It's not that I don't believe him, it's just that the scene at this moment is too horrifying.

Just one glance at it is enough to make you gasp!

……

Despite the overwhelming and continuous torrent of echoes, Qi Ji's expression remained unchanged.

The blurring of reality and illusion is indeed unable to withstand such a dense, saturation attack.

Fortunately, he is no longer the same person he used to be.

The physical education students who used to only rely on their physical abilities have now undergone an epic upgrade!

Besides the numerical values, he also mastered the mechanics!

A mechanism that is second to none!

Faced with the overwhelming response, Saki Saku gently snapped his fingers.

In an instant, a black and white dial image slowly appeared behind him.

His watch face, facing the illusory clock behind Hibern, creates a strange sense of symmetrical beauty.

The silver-white hands slowly rotated on the dial, pointing to the "nothing" half-section—

Negation, dissolution, and return to nothingness.

The concept of "nothingness" is one of the two root concepts of the Saki-jaku lineage, and it can be invoked without a circuit.

Qi Ji stood still, like an abyss gazing at its own reflection.

And so!

A sky full of fiery dragons, wind blades, ice spikes, and streaks of light...

The moment it touched within ten steps of Qi Ji, it vanished without a trace.

It wasn't resisted, nor was it defeated; it was simply—

The fire no longer burns, and the wind no longer blows.

Echoes are no longer effective.

……

……

Chapter 120: Securing the Final Victory! (3-in-1)

Outside the stadium, the audience, witnessing this scene, fell silent.

Countless eyes were fixed on the young man standing calmly on the stage.

The same thought popped into our minds simultaneously.

—What did he do?

Hibel's "Reproduction" almost perfectly replicated all the powerful echoes that had appeared in the ring before.

Flaming dragons, ice spikes, wind blades, and flowing light covered the sky and blotted out the sun.

But the moment they attacked Qi Ji, they all vanished, as if they had never existed.

So, which of these two is the monster?!

Teachers' spectator seats.

Huang Lu froze, speechless for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out, "Your student... what lineage's echo has he awakened? I just can't understand it..."

Upon hearing this, Tsukimi thought to herself, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

To be honest, Tsukimi also wanted to know the answer to the question Huang Lu asked.

He searched through all the genealogical classifications in his mind, but none of them matched.

In short, when faced with questions that cannot be answered, often just one sentence is enough.

"Don't tell you."

Huang Lu: "..."

……

On the arena.

Qi Ji slightly raised his head. The sky, which had been obscured by countless echoes and was blindingly bright just a moment ago, was now clear and clean again.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Hibel, who stood opposite him, seemingly somewhat stunned, and asked in a calm tone:

Is it over?

Hibel frowned slightly, but instead of speaking, she prepared to answer with her actions.

What happened just now happened so fast that she didn't even understand what Qi Ji had done.

But it's okay, since we didn't see it clearly the first time, we'll just look at it again!

The girl channeled her inner energy, and the illusory image of the clock behind her reappeared, its hands slowly reversing.

However, at this moment, Saki smiled and calmly interrupted her.

“Your Highness, the way to learn is through give and take. From the beginning, you have been on the offensive.”

Now, it's my turn, don't you think?

Upon hearing this, Sibel paused slightly, tilted her head and thought for a moment before readily nodding.

Since the start of the war, it has indeed been Saki who has been giving in to her.

First comes the time of non-existence, then the time of reappearance.

Such a one-sided "offensive and defensive exercise" is indeed unfair.

Then, the inverted phantom of the pointer behind Hibel slowly came to a stop.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qi Ji remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Don't be fooled by his recent boastful act and nonchalant demeanor, as if erasing all the repercussions was as easy as lifting a hand and requiring no effort at all.

It really didn't take much effort...

But the problem is, it consumes a lot of mana!

Of course, the issue isn't that there's no mana available, but rather that of Shibel!

Hilbel's [Timeline] is too overpowered!
