Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

No, wait a minute.

Tsukimi rubbed her forehead, feeling a little dizzy for a moment.

He needs to slow down.

"Teacher! This is the Flame Fist that Saki-kun taught me! He's really amazing!"

When it comes to Saki, Huomu naturally speaks highly of him and is full of admiration.

"Wha...what? You're saying that he taught you the Flame Fist?"

Tsukimi was starting to question the meaning of life!

If Saki only taught Himuki this one move, he wouldn't necessarily find it unacceptable.

After all, that kid Qi Ji is indeed a rare genius, and even he sometimes feels that he can't quite see through him.

But you not only taught Huomu this, but also told him it's called "Flame Fist"—that's just too outrageous!

Because the name "Flame Fist" was chosen by Tsukimi on a whim.

The punch that Huo Mu threw was called "Shun Hua" in the Echoing Realm.

This is something only a very small number of exceptionally talented top-tier Echoers can accomplish—

Entering the flow state, the body and mind are completely synchronized. Then, with the help of the body's power, the mind, which should be formless and intangible without the transformation of echo, instantly blossoms with brilliance that matches the nature of the echoer.

This is the [Fleeting Splendor]!

So, how did that brat know the name "Flame Fist"?

Tsukimi was a little confused for a moment, but he was quick-witted and soon found another reason to convince himself.

Because he remembered that when Saki had spoken to the world before, he seemed to have muttered some cheesy names like "Thunder Fist," "Ice Fist," and "Storm Fist."

This move was indeed delivered with a fist, and it was indeed accompanied by flames...

So, given that brat's terrible naming style...

It seems somewhat understandable that their names are the same?

but--

I still feel really annoyed!

For the first time ever, Tsukimi suddenly had the unsettling feeling that she was living in the shadows of a desolate place...

Who is the teacher and who is the student? This is completely upside down!

In short, Tsukimi coughed twice, put on a stern face, and looked at Hiki, eager to save face, said:

"Firewood, what kind of lousy name is that! Remember this, this move is called [Instant Flower]!"

Huo Mu scratched his head and honestly said:

"I think the name 'Flame Fist' sounds pretty good, and it fits the move quite well."

Besides, this is a move that Saki taught me, so changing its name without permission is incredibly disrespectful to him.

Tsukimi: "..."

His face darkened, and after a long pause, he waved his hand dismissively.

"Fine, fine, call me whatever you want."

He finally put on the airs of a teacher, intending to seriously teach Huomu a life-saving trick, but little did he know that Huomu had already learned it from Qiji.

I feel so frustrated...

I don't want to do this anymore!

Being a teacher is definitely not for me!

I want to go on vacation right now!

Of course, Tsukimi wasn't the only one feeling frustrated in this live stream.

Tsukimi's fans were also frustrated.

A large group of viewers in the live stream, all wearing the "Saki-chan" badge, had long been annoyed with the Yue Xiaogui (a nickname for the streamers), and now they launched a full-scale counterattack. The chat was flooded with comments, instantly overwhelming Yuejian's live stream.

"Hilarious! Your moon goddess? I don't think she'd work either!"

"My assessment is that he's not as good as Brother Ji!"

"So your name is Xiaoyue? I bet you're just a clumsy imitation of Jishin!"

"Hahaha!"

……

……

Chapter Eighty-Two: The Reunion of Siblings, Like an Echo of Fate

Now that Huomu has mastered [Shunhua], Yuejian can only teach him something else.

Driven by that damn competitive spirit, Tsukimi always felt that she had to teach something even better than Saki.

So, I simply pulled out the advanced version of [Instant Splendor]—

[The mirror is broken].

"Huomu, watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate once."

Upon hearing Yuejian's words, Huomu's eyes widened, and he nodded repeatedly.

Tsukimi took a moment to get into the swing of things, and then threw a punch at the training dummy.

Huo Mu felt a blur before his eyes, as if moonlight had flashed by, and then the training dummy began to crumble into pieces.

"Amazing!" Huomu exclaimed sincerely.

However, he couldn't see any difference between Tsukimi's punch and his Flame Fist.

Was he just too stupid?

It can only be seen that the nature of their mental essences is different.

His is fire, while Tsukimi-sensei's is moonlight.

Tsukimi looked at the training dummy in front of her and felt awkward for a moment.

It actually failed...

Cough!

After all, as an advanced version of [Instant Blossom], [Mirror Break] is much more difficult to use, and it can even be said that it is impossible to activate it reliably through subjective will.

If [Instant Blossom] is a critical hit that the Echoer can likely deliver after entering the Flow state, then the triggering of [Mirror Break] is an extreme coincidence under perfect timing and circumstances.

Even someone as strong as Tsukimi cannot guarantee that she will be able to pull it off.

Ultimately, the main reason is that Tsukimi's powerful echoes are so numerous that there's no need to rush in and engage in hand-to-hand combat, so it's normal that she's not very familiar with [Mirror Break].

Rather, the fact that he could still master [Mirror Break] under these circumstances is enough to make him a talent that is rare in the world.

Therefore, occasional minor mistakes were within Tsukimi's expectations.

He immediately unfurled his armor, instantly switched to the [God of Moon Scrolls], and then casually tore off a page from the scroll made of moonlight.

Huo Mu in front of him was momentarily dazed.

Moon Viewing skill activated successfully, dispelling the armored form, looking at Firewood:

"Huomu, watch carefully, I'll only demonstrate once."

Upon hearing Yuejian's words, Huomu's eyes widened, and he nodded repeatedly.

"???"

This scene left the viewers in the live chat stunned:

"Wait, Lao Yue, haven't you already demonstrated this twice?"

"What's going on? Why does the video look like it's being replayed?"

"Boss, the disc is stuck!"

The viewers in the comments section were unaware of Tsukimi's abilities, but Saki was an expert.

To save face, Tsukimi actually activated her powers of magic and "deleted" the "fact" of her mistake from Hōki's mind!

Hagi Yue, you're a bit too proud, to be honest.

Tsukimi took a deep breath; this time, it took him a little longer to adjust his state.

However, it still failed.

So, this guy instantly activated his powers once again, rewriting the facts.

On the third attempt, Tsukimi finally managed to unleash [Mirror Break].

The moment Tsukimi's fist touched the training dummy, the scene seemed to produce a strange, frame-dropping "sluggishness."

The training dummy was like shattered glass, instantly covered with countless fine cracks.

These cracks are not physical entities, but rather like the canvas of "reality" being torn apart, revealing the pitch-black "nothingness" behind it.

The black crack spread rapidly from the point of impact into the dummy's body and the surrounding space.

The next second, accompanied by a delayed dull thud, the training dummy vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye!

Huo Mu was dumbfounded.

There's no doubt that Tsukimi-sensei's punch was devastating.

Wow! Absolutely amazing!

Incredibly powerful!!!

Seeing the stunned expression on Hōki's face, Tsukimi felt slightly satisfied, thinking that she had finally won a round in her match against Saki.

He then explained the principle behind this move to Huomu.

When Qi Ji saw this, he quickly asked his sister to bring him paper and a pen.

But the next moment, he slapped his forehead and remembered—

No need for that!

He has the live stream replay!

He can learn frame by frame!

In the scene, Tsukimi, for the first time, showed a bit of the demeanor of a teacher, patiently explaining to Hōki:

"The so-called 'Mirror Break' is the extremely brief, completely synchronized, yet violently conflicting 'forced resonance' that occurs at the moment the attack hits, where the attacker's own 'existence echo,' the target's 'existence echo,' and the surrounding environment's 'background echo.'"

This resonance is not a harmonious sonata, but rather treats existence itself as an instrument, striking it with destructive force, producing a dissonant sound that tears reality apart…

Even through the system screen, Qi Ji listened more attentively than Huo Mu.

He nodded, frowned, and suddenly realized something.

Unfortunately, Tsukimi, being a lazy dog, was ultimately just a lazy dog. After patiently teaching her once, she glanced at the time, immediately yelled "Oh no!", threw down the words "It's time to meet the travel agency," and then patted her butt and left.

They ended the broadcast as soon as they said they would.

This made Saki so angry...

Fortunately, there are live stream replays, so he can still learn on his own.

Just as Qi Ji switched system interfaces, intending to open the live stream replay to continue his research, the system popped up a reminder at that exact moment:

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your five-star character card "Thousand Faces" has been completed!]
