Chapter 38: Mirror World

Mirror World

Huff—huff.

Water-element power naturally soothed her tired body; Fu Guang slumped in her chair, feeling as if a fan were installed in her throat, continuously panting, exhausted to the point she couldn't lift a finger.

Sheng Lai Ke Si looked at her and shook his head, "An E-rank Sentinel can run tens of thousands of meters with ease."

Yin Zhu said lightly, "It should be said that even a normally trained person finds it effortless."

"Rest well, then another mental power showdown."

"Then..." Sheng Lai Ke Si looked at the few people around, their faces faintly hiding excitement.

He secretly thought, if they got carried away and couldn't control themselves, hurting the guide would be bad.

"I'll do it."

"Okay." Fu Guang sat up, releasing a small-scale Rainfall on herself, instantly her spirit was full, another energetic Fu Guang.

"Come on, let's go." Fu Guang walked ahead, Yin Zhu stroked her chin, "Is the guide also this belligerent?"

It seems she can also have another training opponent, sparring with the guide; just thinking about it excites her.

"I'll be the referee." She directly vaulted over the railing and came to the center of the training field.

Sheng Lai Ke Si took off his coat, wearing close-fitting light armor, gone was his previous gentle appearance, his eyes narrowed, aggression maxed out.

As he walked into the field, a green bow appeared in his hand, the black ring on the thumb of his black glove caught on the bow.

Fu Guang didn't move, drawing the dagger from her waist and holding it in a reverse grip.

"Ready, start!" Yin Zhu's figure drifted back.

The next moment the arrow came with a whoosh; Fu Guang bent to dodge it, but saw Sheng Lai Ke Si already had five arrows nocked, ready to fire.

She used Water Escape to approach Sheng Lai Ke Si; he saw the water intent nearing, wind elements swirling around him, and in the blink of an eye their positions formed a diagonal.

"Within the academy, no one can match Sheng Lai Ke Si's speed; Miss Guide wanting to beat him in this aspect is difficult."

"If you can't attack the archer, you can only be kited to death."

Bai Gao furrowed his brows, saying, "Sister is a guide, everyone around her is a sentinel; why would she need to act?"

"That's unreasonable." His eyes flashed twice, and he leapt into the battle zone.

Sheng Lai Ke Si and Yin Zhu remained silent, not opposing that statement.

"Sister, please use me as you wish." Bai Gao suddenly appeared before Fu Guang, arrows attacking from behind him; he bent over, bowing like a gentleman.

Fu Guang's blue eyes reflected the youth's visage.

Five arrows shot simultaneously, blocking all his retreat routes; Bai Gao gave a faint smile.

Crack!

The arrows seemed to land on the mirror surface; the mirror cracked with crackling sounds, and Bai Gao's figure vanished.

"Has Bai Gao's domain advanced again?" Yin Zhu stared closely, unable to find Bai Gao's figure among the myriad mirrors.

"Mirror World truly is hard to deal with."

Bai Gao is originally A-rank, yet he doesn't lose to an S-rank Sentinel, all because of his domain, Mirror World.

Fighting him requires preparing for a prolonged battle.

What could be inside the mirrors?

When fighting him, one always thinks of this saying.

Is it a sharp blade, is it Bai Gao, is it yourself, or something else?

Everything depends on the master of the Mirror World, Bai Gao.

Fu Guang looked at the mirrors around her showing her own figure, "Bai Gao, in your previous fights with Sheng Lai Ke Si, what's your win-loss record?"

Before Bai Gao could speak, Sheng Lai Ke Si's voice whispered past her ear, and Fu Guang's scalp exploded with "Zero wins."

Bai Gao stepped out from the mirror beside her; Fu Guang reacted instantly, using Water Escape in place to enter the Mirror World and hide.

Clang.

The blades only clashed once before separating.

Aside from the standing mirrors, there was not a single person's shadow in the arena.

Sheng Lai Ke Si is not just an archer; his speed makes him just as excellent as an assassin.

The guide's reaction speed is quite fast.

Can a B-rank Guide and an A-rank Sentinel defeat an S-rank Sentinel famed for speed?

One must say, Mirror World is also a good means to protect the guide.

Handing the guide over to Bai Gao is no different than throwing a sheep into a tiger's mouth.

Indeed, it's no different than throwing a sheep into a tiger's mouth.

Fu Guang leaned against the cold mirror, the youth's purple hair falling beside her face.

Sister.

The youth with one hand restrained the girl's soft palm, he slightly lowered his head, gazing directly into her blue, all-encompassing eyes, his sight dropping to her full red lips.

His Adam's apple rolled, his body leaning forward.

A thought flashed in his mind: Do you want her to despise you?

He shifted his target, lightly kissing the eyes that always looked at him, "Sister, your eyes are beautiful."

As the words fell, he vanished into the mirror, swapping places.

Fu Guang's head was full of question marks, what's wrong with this kid?

She also knew her eyes were pretty, thanks for the praise?

Forget it, we're fighting; why think about this?

Blue threads shot from her hand, encircling the arena; Fu Guang appeared in a secluded corner.

As soon as it appeared, it unleashed the small-area "Rain Fall".

Sheng Lai Ke Si's movement stalled for a moment, and he suddenly realized that the usually light rain felt as heavy as a thousand jin in an instant.

Fu Guang's face instantly drained of mental power, turning deathly pale; she waved at Sheng Lai Ke Si and returned to the mirror world.

There is a kind of strange water called univalent heavy water; a single drop can turn into a whole lake.

She then tried it out, infinitely compressing her own mental power; as the skill was released, what would its effect be on the Sentinel's mental power?

Sheng Lai Ke Si's state gave her satisfying feedback.

His brief pause was enough for Bai Gao to seize; the mirror reflection produced five Bai Gao, each wielding a long sword and charging forward.

A clear ringing sound rang out, and blue light flared on Bai Gao's body, giving Sheng Lai Ke Si no chance to catch his breath.

"This point wasn't coordinated well; if Fu Guang had released the buff earlier, these clones could have all been hit," Shang Ze commented.

"The outcome is already decided; this flaw is negligible," Yin Zhu said. "Besides that, a guide being able to use healing skills as attack skills is also a unique idea."

This was just a spar; the moment Sheng Lai Ke Si stepped on the training field line, he was out.

"Besides, Sheng Lai Ke Si really endured it; what is his domain, do you know?" Yin Zhu asked Shang Ze.

"I've never seen him use it," Shang Ze replied, narrowing his eyes.

"What a mysterious person—is he from the Federation?"

"Who knows?"

The mirror world shattered with a crash, fragments slowly dissipating to reveal Fu Guang within.

Fu Guang's eyes shone bright; this was the first S-rank she had defeated, and she was overjoyed.

Now she is B-rank; with a bit more effort she could press and hammer an S-rank, and with more effort she could press and hammer everyone.

Hehe, just thinking about it gets her excited.

Bai Gao appeared before her, embracing the girl in his arms, "Sister, how did you think of that? Thanks to you!"

Fu Guang stretched out her hand and shoved it onto the boy's approaching face, "Get lost."

Bai Gao's expression changed, and Fu Guang added, "I'm about to faint."

"Sister!" Bai Gao exclaimed, at a loss as he supported the fainting Fu Guang.

Sheng Lai Ke Si stepped forward, "It's fine, her mental power is exhausted; she'll be fine in a moment."
