Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

He is the strongest opponent that Saki has ever encountered!

A fierce battle is inevitable!

Upon hearing Qi Ji's words, Liu Li immediately snapped out of her shock.

She knew that if Ayaka continued to stay here, and she continued to stay here, it would only hold Saki Sakuya back.

Without hesitation, she made a quick decision, activated her armor, and desperately rushed out of the alleyway with Caixia in her arms.

"Hmph! Trying to escape?!"

Chiho Kamishiro naturally wouldn't stand idly by and watch this happen. She immediately raised her hand, trying to activate the Echo to stop the two of them.

"Sorry, now your opponent is me."

Saki took a step to the side, blocking Kamishiro Chiho's path.

With the disparity in strength evident, Qi Ji dared not be complacent.

Without saying a word, he crushed the already mirrored [Thousand Faces] with one hand.

In an instant, thousands of mirror fragments refracted a dazzling light under the sunlight.

then--

[Thunderous Strike]!

The sound of birdsong and the sound of the mirror shattering were almost simultaneous.

Electric crackling patterns appeared on Qi Ji's mask, and his entire body was instantly enveloped in lightning.

Then, with a swift movement of his feet, he passed through the countless fragments of mirror!

He wielded lightning and unleashed a devastating strike!

The instant that [Thunderous Bloom] struck towards Chiho Kamishiro, the [Mirror Image] outfit was also completed at the same moment!

Undoubtedly, this strike, [Lightning Strike], benefited from the bonus stats provided by the armor set!

This is the strongest attack that Qi Ji can unleash under normal circumstances!!!

The desolate armor is bestowed by the five-star card, requiring no circuit construction or materialization of imagery.

Therefore, his pre-animation time is extremely short.

However, Chiho Kamishiro's speed in deploying her armor was no less than his, and even faster!

Is this a fourth-order Echoer?

As soon as Saki struck with [Thunderous Strike], a large number of spider webs suddenly appeared in front of Kamishiro Chiho.

The lightning was instantly absorbed and dissipated by the spider silk, and then the spider silk suddenly enveloped Chiho Kamishiro.

The next second, the sound of clothes tearing came from Chiho Kamishiro's body.

The spider silk seemed to wriggle as if it were alive, replacing her original dress and clinging tightly to her body.

Then, with a "whoosh" sound!

Eight spider spears stabbed out menacingly from behind her.

The imagery armor was completed in an instant!

But this is not over yet!

Immediately afterwards, a translucent outer garment composed of milky white heart essence suddenly surged out from her body!

It spreads rapidly and flows continuously, as if it were alive!

It looked like a layer of blazing liquid flames, magnificently covering the surface of the armor!

Donning the armor, Phase Two—

Fully unfolded!!!

Chapter 95 Equivalent Prayer! The Way to Win! (3-in-1, 6450 words)

As soon as Qi Ji started fighting, he unleashed his full power and delivered that lightning-streaked super move, and the chat exploded with excitement:

"Holy crap! This is Hagiwara's armor? When did he learn it?"

"Of course we had it all along, but the opponents we encountered before were all trash like Su Shi, not worth using at all."

"That sturdy outfit looks kind of cool!"

"Indeed, judging solely by looks, she's second only to Lao Yue among those who have appeared so far, right?"

"I think he's even cooler than the God of Moon Scrolls! The one with the Prison Moon is too effeminate; Hagi-ki is much better!"

"By the way, it's somewhat like a high-level version of the 'Pleading to the World' armor, doesn't it?"

"This is the first time I've seen Lao Ji go all out right from the start. It's hilarious. It seems he's really angry because he saw Liu Li crying."

When the viewers saw that Qi Ji was using all his strength, they thought that he would kill his opponent in one move and then start the show of witty banter that everyone loved.

After all, Saki even used his armor, didn't he?

As we all know, in anime series, when a character's new skill or new form makes its first appearance, there is a "newbie protection period" during which they are guaranteed to show off their awesomeness.

However, the next moment, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, a large clump of spider silk appeared in front of Chiho Kamishiro!

Then, with almost no effort, Saki's strongest attack, [Shunka], which involved activating his armor, was easily neutralized by his opponent...

The lightning entered it, but was completely absorbed as if it were a mud ox sinking into the sea.

Seeing this scene, the live chat exploded with activity:

"???"

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?!"

After all, they were used to Qi Ji's crushing and invincible nature.

They even vaguely forgot that Saki is currently just a first-year student at Echo Academy.

The next moment, as Chiho Kamishiro completed her armor, the production team, seemingly to help the audience better and more intuitively understand the battle situation, suddenly displayed several lines of cold, artistic fonts on the screen!

—【Chiho Kamishiro! Fourth Rank!】

—【"Spider-type" second-stage power-up, fully unleashed!!!】

—【Without a doubt! She is the strongest opponent Saki has ever faced!】

— [Even with all their might, they couldn't defeat them!]

—Is this the end of Saki's undefeated streak?

Seeing this, the audience seemed to finally understand why Saki had to unleash her ultimate move right from the start.

"Holy crap, no way, is our first defeat really coming?"

"Is it really going to turn into a prison?"

"No! Keep winning, Hagi!!"

"Hahaha, I knew it! Your little Ji is no match for our Moon Goddess! She'll show her true colors when she encounters a slightly stronger opponent!"

……

At this moment, Qi Ji had no time to pay attention to the comments.

He was completely focused and absorbed in the battle—

Although he had anticipated that he would struggle with the second stage of the armor at this stage, he still found it hard to accept when it actually happened before his eyes!

Why?

His hard-earned physique was no match for the ugly Spider-Man in front of him who wore spider silk on the outside.

Is this reasonable?

Is this fair?

Fortunately, he had a backup plan after his attack.

……

The lightning power emanating from the spider silk caused Chiho Kamishiro to frown slightly.

"You...you almost hurt me?"

"Just almost?" Saki asked her in return.

The moment the words left his mouth, Qi Ji clenched his fists tightly!

Several sharp beams of light suddenly burst forth from within Chiho Kamishiro's armor—

The moment Saki unfolded his [Mirror Image] armor, he used the cover of lightning to shoot at Chiho Kamishiro's lens!

Now, unleash full power!

That's right, [Shunhua] was just a feint; the subsequent lens was Saki's true hidden killing move.

At that time, Chiho Kamishiro had not yet fully unleashed her power, and Saki seized that opportunity—

The only gap!

In an instant, he hurt her.

Unfortunately, it was only a minor injury.

Even though Saki had gone to great lengths to bypass the opponent's armor, Chiho Kamishiro's body, tempered by the [Palace], was far superior to those Echoers who did not have the [Palace].

A fourth-tier Echoer can absolutely crush opponents of lower levels!

That's how shameless I am!

That's how invincible we are!

Chiho Kamishiro snorted coldly and activated the power of her armor.

Immediately, all of Qi Ji's meticulously crafted lenses were easily flung away by her using spider silk.

Shattered glass lay scattered on the ground, reflecting the two figures facing each other.

Previously, when Qi Ji used this move in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, the lens could penetrate deep into the bodies of the afterimages and then explode instantly, tearing them into pieces.

However, when used on Chiho Kamishiro in reality, it failed to reproduce the effect.

This is because Chiho Kamishiro's strength far surpasses those remaining images, and also because Saki is currently in reality and cannot enjoy the enhancement of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, making her much weaker.

The combination of these two factors led to Saki's attempt to seize the initiative at the start, but ultimately failed to achieve the desired effect.

Saki felt only regret, while Kamishiro Chiho was furious!

As a fourth-tier Echoer, she was actually injured by a guy who had just entered the third tier and had only recently mastered the armor.

She looked at the shards of mirror she had flung to the ground, and saw that they were still covered with streaks of blood…

Chiho Kamishiro's face gradually darkened.

How should I describe that feeling?

It's like you step on an ant, and that ant actually dares to bite you instead.

This is outrageous!

"You'll regret angering me!"

Saki did regret it, but not because of Kamishiro Chiho.

What he regretted was that he hadn't been able to improve his relationship with Su Shi in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

If I could increase my favorability with Su Shi on the day I log into the Sea of ​​Consciousness...

No, I mean, if we increase the compatibility even more, wouldn't the result be different?

It's important to know that if the compatibility of [Thousand Faces] reaches a certain value, even if Qi Ji hasn't reached the fourth rank, he can still unleash the second stage of [Mirror Image]!
