I am a Herrscher of Ice, and I am loved by players.

Well, Alicia was indeed there, but Anna had left temporarily, of course, not too far away from the area.

In the forgotten city, two figures were quickly shuttling around in the city, chasing each other. The two were entangled for several seconds, and finally, the two figures collided with each other.

The two ice-blue blades collided and crossed each other, creating sparks. One of the people was undoubtedly Anna. At this moment, she had a faint smile on her face. She looked at ease and a bit like a villain. The one fighting with her was a woman with fox ears and cherry hair, who was Sakura.

The flashes of swords and sabers flashed in the city. From time to time, some buildings were affected, or collapsed, or were directly cut in half. Obviously, it looked like just a sparring match, but the two men were indeed serious about it.

However, this is actually normal.

Ying's swordsmanship is basically a life-and-death swordsmanship, and it has been honed through repeated assassinations. Now, as a test between master and disciple, it is naturally the same.

However, this is a paradise in the past life, and even if you are really injured, it will not have any impact.

In fact, Ying also longed for such a battle. Yingjie seldom fought against each other, and they were very familiar with each other. On the contrary, it was Anna who was able to learn and improve, who made Ying feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

Moreover, something like swordsmanship still requires long-term sharpening and practice. Even an assassin needs to fight frequently to maintain his skill.

And now, Ying also has such a rare opportunity, so naturally she wants to fight to her heart's content.

So - when Mei Raiden stepped into the instant space anchor point, she saw this scene - sword energy intertwined, ice and snow blended, Sakura and Anna's power attributes were all in this aspect, and the fluctuations of their attacks even covered this area with ice and snow.

This also gave Mei Raiden a completely different experience.

The intersecting sword lights of the two people also made Raiden Mei a little dazzled. In terms of swordsmanship, Raiden Mei is considered to be quite good. She is the successor of Hokushin Ittoryu, which was also very famous in the past.

But if we really talk about swordsmanship attainments, Mei Raiden is definitely not comparable to Sakura. After all, Sakura's level has really reached the pinnacle and she has established her own school.

In fact, the most important thing is that Sakura's swordsmanship is a life-threatening and killing skill.

Sword arts schools such as Hokushin Ittoryu were able to be passed down because they had some fancy elements, but Sakura's swordsmanship had none of those.

So, although on the surface there seems to be a lot of sword light, in fact, every sword is deadly.

The two people fought in the space for a long time. Finally, the battle came to an end. Anna and Ying came side by side, and neither of them was injured at all.

Yes, judging by the result, it was a draw.

Ying landed steadily on the ground and sheathed her sword, just like a cherry blossom falling on her shoulder, while Anna's landing was more casual, but also as steady as a dragonfly touching the water.

Mei Raiden looked at Sakura in front of her. For some reason, for a moment, she didn't know where Sakura fell from, giving Mei Raiden a feeling of confusion and trance.

"Welcome to the trial, successor."

The girl raised her head and looked at Raiden Mei. Her voice was cold and gentle, just like her appearance. One of her hands was still holding the hilt of the sword at her waist, as if ready to fight at any time.

"My name is Sakura, and I exist here to pass on Setsuna's skills to future generations."

"Hello, my name is Mei Raiden."

Mei Raiden never hesitates to show her kindness to anyone.

"you........"

Mei Raiden looked at Anna with curiosity on her face. She could see how exciting the battle just now was, and she didn't know that Teacher Anna had such a skill.

You know, before, Teacher Anna had always used a lance.

"I am considered her successor in swordsmanship, half a disciple."

Anna knew what Mei Raiden was thinking and said it frankly.

"Sakura's swordsmanship is very valuable both for actual combat and for mastering power, so I learned her swordsmanship."

"But........."

"Well, maybe I am also a genius?"

"........."

Well, since Anna said so, then Mei Raiden really has no way to refute it. After all, her teacher is indeed a genius. This cannot be denied, and there is no need to deny it.

"Anna has already told me about your situation."

Sakura beside her also spoke at the same time.

"Please accept this seal first. I will probably take a step-by-step approach towards you."

"Hey, Sakura, that's not what you said to me at the beginning."

Anna frowned slightly and said quickly.

"Well, so I'll leave it to you to teach her the art of Setsuna."

Sakura nodded, and then said something that Anna could never have expected.

"Hey, Sakura, you are not serious?"

Anna was a little surprised. This was indeed a development she could never have imagined. It was handed over to her, but in essence, it was actually to let Anna tell Sakura's story.

In other words, Sakura would show her all her memories without reservation.

"Of course I am serious. Your skills, in a sense, have surpassed mine. As for the rest, don't you know it all?"

Sakura said nonchalantly.

"........."

After Ying said this, Anna suddenly didn't know how to refute it. This was indeed the case, but it couldn't be calculated in this way.

She came here as the last insurance for this paradise in the afterlife, not to work in this paradise in the afterlife. What's more, she was teaching her own students. What kind of fate was this?

Hate it? Say Jun Yang 7

"Whatever benefits Ellie promised you, I can give you as well."

Sakura added.

"........."

Anna was silent again. After a while, Anna rubbed her head and sighed.

"I feel like you've misunderstood something, but since we've come to this point, I'll just agree. However, you should be the one to answer the question yourself."

"can."

Sakura said cheerfully, and as she spoke, she took one last look at Raiden Mei, and then her figure disappeared into the paradise of the past.

Looking at Sakura's departing figure, Raiden Mei didn't say anything, just blinked.

She vaguely felt that Ying's decision might be related to the competition between them just now, but she had no evidence. However, it was not unacceptable for Anna to just be given the guidance of the Momentary Marking.

However, this made her even more curious about Teacher Anna.

"Alright, alright, concentrate and feel the power of the mark."

Seeing that Mei Raiden was a little slack, Anna whispered that in the game, the process of Mei Raiden absorbing the mark looked very simple.

But in fact, this process is not easy. The power of engraving is similar to the feeling of divine sound. In essence, it is the guidance or even command of the visitor's consciousness. The realization of this power relies on the power of Aponia and the power of Origin.

However, this inevitably requires the loading of some power that does not belong to oneself, which will cause mental and physical rejection. Therefore, many World Snake Cadres cannot withstand too much engraving power.

So far, Anna is the only person who has truly accepted the marks of the thirteen heroes, but it is well known that Anna's mental strength is beyond that of ordinary people.

"The mark of life is peaceful and calm, which is very easy for you to accept. But the mark of moment is not that simple. The path of moment is the ultimate path."

"Of course, you have Herrscher-level reflexes. In theory, you won't be in such a mess because of this power."

"Ah."

Mei Raiden responded, and the mark was successfully absorbed. However, when she wanted to use the power of the mark, she was confused for a moment and let out a muffled groan.

"Well, hold back a little. Don't be nervous. You don't need to master this power right away."

Anna said gently and gave careful guidance.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Anna."

Mei Raiden took a deep breath and apologized with a hint of apology. To be honest, she was indeed a little anxious because because of Anna's stimulation, she was basically thinking about Kiana all the time.

This is different from when she was in World Snake. At that time, even if she was not with Kiana, she could still know Kiana's condition through the World Snake's intelligence network.

But in this paradise of the afterlife, she was isolated from the outside world. She knew that Kiana was waiting for her, but she was also worried. What should she do if Kiana encountered any difficulties while she was in this paradise of the afterlife?

"Calm down and be calm. You don't need to worry about things outside of the paradise for the time being."

Anna naturally knew what Mei Raiden was thinking. After all, in a sense, her thoughts were really easy to guess.

"The person you love is not that fragile. She is not incapable of waiting for you. Just focus on dealing with the current situation and finding the answers you want. This is the greatest help to her and to you."

"Yes."

Mei Raiden nodded, sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and entered a state of meditation.

Seeing Mei Raiden take this step, Anna felt relieved. Next, she just had to wait until the Land of the Past kicked Mei Raiden out.

No, forget it, let her kick Mei out herself.

Being idle in the paradise of the afterlife is nothing in the game, but if it happens in reality, forget it.

It's not safe here. Various blocks may collapse at any time, especially in this forgotten city. You know, the last time she and Qianjie fought here was here.

Although Klein did his job conscientiously, once a loophole appeared, it could not be plugged. The rest depended entirely on luck. If he was unlucky, it would naturally cause a bad situation for Raiden Mei.

So, out of consideration for Mei Raiden's spirit, Anna sent her back to the meeting room. However, because Mei Raiden had not reached her limit, it didn't take much effort.

However, after sending Mei Raiden away, Anna did not plan to leave immediately. Instead, she sat on the rooftop of a building in the forgotten city, quietly admiring this city that existed in her memory.

"finished?"

A cold voice suddenly sounded in Anna's ears, causing Anna to shudder.

She saw Sakura appear beside her without knowing when.

"Ah, um."

Anna touched her chest and nodded. She had ignored this wave. In fact, there were many people who could easily reach her in this paradise of the past.

If we really have to set up a food chain here, she is indeed at the lowest end.

She is not a hero, nor is she conscious. Although she has the potential to overturn everything, it is obvious that she cannot use it casually.

Fortunately, she got along well with the Yingjies. Even Qianjie, who had the most bad temper, would occasionally come to her and communicate with her. As a result, she got to know a completely different Qianjie.

How should I put it, although I already knew some things in my previous life, but seeing Qianjie carving those wooden dolls in a somewhat clumsy way with my own eyes, the feeling was still very shocking, with quite a bit of a tough guy with a tender heart.

In the end, Qianjie even gave her one, and the wood sculpture was of Qianjie himself.

Of course, in this paradise of the afterlife, sending gifts has no practical significance. Items can be copied and reproduced, so it can be said that there is no point in Padu looking for and purchasing goods.

But that is exactly Paddo's own life and preferences, so it has practical significance.

As for Ying, in fact, apart from that exchange, she and Ying had very little communication. And that exchange was actually recorded in my ego. She was just a memory, passively accepting it.

In other words, for Anna, this could even be considered a rare moment of alone time between her and Sakura.

This also made Anna feel a little uneasy. After all, to her, Ying was her master, and she... ahem, she had read many novels about master-disciple romances before. How should I put it, Ying was actually very much like the masters in those novels.

Cold but with warmth, indifferent but with understandable pity, decisive in action, sharp intuition, the kind of high-class flower, not easy to capture, but once captured...

Well, unlike those masters, Sakura is still a traditional island shrine maiden at heart. In this respect, Yae Sakura is very similar to her.

The difference is that Yaezakura is a shrine maiden from old times, while Sakura has a bit of a cyber shrine maiden feel to her. This is due to the difference in times.

"Speaking of which, how did you improve your swordsmanship? As I recall, you were only with Ellie during this period. Her power shouldn't have had this effect, right?"

“Maybe it’s because of the state of mind?”

Anna chuckled, and although it was called a chuckle, it was actually a bitter smile.

She didn't really understand this thing, and she didn't have any foundation in swordsmanship, but when she thought about the fact that her swordsmanship was for the purpose of protecting the people she loved and for the purpose of guarding something, she felt as if she had motivation and strength.

In fact, if such a thing were outside the paradise, it would naturally not be able to produce such a powerful effect, but this is the paradise of the past life, the world of memory, so there are situations that Sakura could not have expected.

"State of mind?"

Ying recited softly, and Ling's figure appeared in her mind. In a trance, she seemed to see Ling's smile, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, outlining a smile.

"Sister, if...if I am no longer around, you must be well."

"Don't say such things, Ling, trust me, I will definitely protect you!"

"I believe in my sister, but she also has her own life and someone she loves..."

Ying's eyes flickered as she recalled the days she spent with Ling. Ling was small but smart. She considered some things even further than her elder sister. It was a pity......

However, she felt somewhat relieved when she thought of what Anna had told her.
