Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 198 Methodology

Due to long-term genetic engineering, every Groden possesses an outstanding posture.

Gloria is no exception, or rather, as a "whole person", she is the best among them.

As one of the well-known characteristics of Groden members, she has a delicate and beautiful appearance and a very tall figure, nearly two meters tall. With the outstanding temperament brought by the peak of the second ring [Transcendence], she can make others feel inferior just by standing there.

But at this moment.

Obviously speaking of height, the young man in front needs to raise his head slightly to see his opponent's full appearance.

But when the other party raised the straight knife inch by inch and spoke with a smile, it was as if he was looking down at him.

——That is an undisguised, “condescending” attitude!
So, there was no more words.

The outline of Zhu Guang Lie Feng almost disappeared, leaving only four high-speed intersecting pure golden streams.

In the reflection of Gloria's pupils, only pure flames remained. In the world that had become a "scorched earth", they raged and gushed out. The earth was melting, the buildings were collapsing, and at the same time, they all pressed down on the figure running in between.

Like a flower made of flames, it is closing.

And the next moment, crisscrossing golden marks appeared on the surface of the hot "petals" at the same time, and then pure golden light suddenly burst out, turning all the nearby flames into pieces!
If a natural person were watching at this moment, he would be able to see this scene: the intersecting slashes created by the four light-chasing swords would be too fast and would leave a blurry afterimage on his retina that would last for several seconds.

However, if he were a completely natural person, his eyes would probably be blinded by the overly strong light before that.

——Qiang!

With the belated clanging sound and the sudden burst of slashing, all the flames within a radius of several meters centered on Gloria were extinguished, and turned into a brief "vacuum zone" in the sea of ​​fire!
But this "short" moment is enough.

The road ahead is smooth.

There was no joy or sadness in Gloria's eyes. Three Light-Chasing Blades shot forward, clearing the way for her. She suddenly clenched the last Light-Chasing Blade, and her entire back suddenly lit up - it was a dazzling light that even the exoskeleton armor could not conceal!
Inside the exoskeleton armor, on Gloria's body, from the cervical vertebrae to the chest, back and coccyx, buried under the skin, a total of forty-three translucent "spines" lit up at the same time, as if golden liquid was flowing through them.

The highest level of this psychic skill is the extraordinary organ called [Sublight Speed ​​Neural Transmission Center], which is a realm that can only be reached by the fifth or even sixth ring. What Gloria possesses at this moment is at best a pre-condition for the pre-condition.

But even so.

This also gave her extremely superior nerve reflex and transmission capabilities, allowing her to easily perform all kinds of incredible movements. And when she actively stimulated this spine - this extraordinary organ - the latter's effect would rise again.

Indirectly achieve the effect of "neural acceleration"!

The next moment, Gloria turned into a streak of pure golden light and rushed forward!

In front of the blindingly pure stream of light, even the sea formed by flames was forced to split into two parts, and the sound also disappeared, as if holding its breath, leaving only the straight "light" that became more and more dazzling, and looked forward!

Then, it stopped abruptly.

Also from the silence, a wisp of "fire" quietly emerged.

In an instant, it roared and expanded, turning into a man-eating tide of rage, swallowing up all the bright and dazzling "light" that was rushing towards it!
"Do you know Zhu Guang Lie Feng?"

It was no longer possible to tell whether what Song Shi was clenching between his five fingers was a "straight knife" or a "flame".

The original outlines of both sides' weapons could not be seen clearly. Only the blazing fire and dazzling light kept colliding, dragging out winding red and gold tracks in the air.

"In the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation. No, before the Federation was established, thousands of years ago, the ancient psychics there created a path."

Gloria attacked again, but was blocked by Chongshi again. The remaining three attacks of the Light-Chasing Blades also failed to take effect and were avoided at the critical moment. They could only become three deep cracks that extended for dozens of meters and split the earth.

——It’s very troublesome.

Gloria thought.

With the help of psychic skills, his speed and reaction have long surpassed that of his opponent. In a battle of this level, a slight difference can often determine the outcome.

But at this moment, he was stuck in a stalemate and failed to achieve victory.

——It’s quite tricky.

The opponent used [Scorched Earth] and [Rendering] to completely transform the surrounding environment and turn it into their home ground.

In this situation, the enemy is like being in the deep sea. Every movement he makes faces resistance, and the closer he is to him, the stronger the resistance will be.

With the help of this repulsive resistance, the opponent successfully increased his speed and reaction to a level that was sufficient to cope with the situation. Even if it was still slightly beyond the limit, it would be difficult to change the overall situation.

But I can't delay.

A Great Source that has fully deployed to spread the field, not to mention that the opponent also possesses [Amber] and [Burning Blood]. The surging flames are constantly consuming shields, armor and psychic energy. If this goes on for a long time, even I will find it difficult to bear.

"Consume the essence of divine iron and gold to build a magical body, and condense the pure spiritual consciousness to form a sword embryo." As Song Shi spoke leisurely, he killed Zhong Shi without hesitation, and a line of terrifying flames condensed and flowed down. Gloria was forced to retreat.

The two stood apart from each other again. Song Shi did not rush to attack again, but continued to speak: "--That is the way of transcendence called 'Sword Cultivation'."

"Those guys claim that 'breaking the calamity and defeating the enemy is all here.'" Looking at the man in front of him, Song Shi said: "But I have thought of a way to deal with 'Sword Cultivators'."

"They claim that with one strike of their sword, all laws can be broken and the whole world can be cleansed - to be honest, they are indeed quite powerful."

"So the method to deal with it is also very simple. When those guys strike out with their swords, just don't retreat or dodge, and smash their swords head-on. You can easily get rid of this group of sword cultivators. Based on my experience, the success rate is very high."

"Of course, you are definitely different from them. The swords they forged have become part of their 'self', while your Light Chaser is still a weapon after all."

"But the principle is the same." Looking at the lightsabers in the woman's hands and at her side, Song Shi smiled and said briskly: "——Aren't you going to make a move?"

Snap.

Gloria slowly opened her hands, as if she had been freed from some restraint. Pieces of her exoskeleton armor loosened and cracked, like the peeling of a wall soaked in water. From the cracks and crevices, dazzling golden light bloomed wantonly.

When most of the exoskeleton was peeled off, Gloria shook it violently, shaking off the remaining part at the same time.

Her gorgeous red hair fluttered in the wind, and Gloria raised her eyes calmly.

After removing all external disguises, the flowing light outlines a slender yet powerful silhouette.

Instead of choosing to completely integrate an exoskeleton or mecha into her body in one step, Gloria took a more classical path, using her original body as the foundation, strengthening, reshaping, and evolving it bit by bit.

——This is the true attitude of Gloria Groden!
then.

Psionic Skills: [Flowing Energy].

The golden light spread across the surface of the skin, forming dense lines. After passing through the entire body, it finally outlined a circle of the sun on the chest.

Gloria's height rose again, approaching two meters and a half. She stood in the light, like the tall and majestic gods in those mythological murals.

The tremendous energy flows into every part of his body along the light patterns, and every inch of his skin can feel the full power.

Thin strands of light floated around Gloria, they were ripples brought about by extremely concentrated energy.

This is a temporary enhanced state similar to overload, and even though she has reached the peak of the second ring, she cannot maintain it for too long.

But enough.

"...You want to defeat me head-on?"

Finally, Gloria spoke again.

He stretched out his hand, and Zhu Guangliefeng lowered his head obediently - they connected with each other and turned into two solid golden sword blades.

hold.

"I think your method is worth a try."

She looked at the young man calmly, the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously: "——Come."

"...temporary state enhancement?"

Song Shi tilted his head and laughed: "You still have some problems understanding my method."

"The strongest point of sword cultivators is that with one strike of the sword, all methods can be broken, and they are unstoppable - so as long as you defeat their strongest point head-on, everything will be solved."

"The emphasis is on 'the strongest point' rather than 'the sword'."

"But it's okay, I can show you right now."

As Gloria's gaze changed slightly, in an instant, Song Shi's "body" in front of her suddenly expanded, and even covered her at the moment!

No, it wasn't the "body", it was clearly the "sense of crisis" that the other party brought to him in his intuitive perception, and the brief illusion caused by it.

Song Shi laughed and extinguished the four fires.

【Self-immolation】

"——I'll knock you down in three strikes!"
