Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 102 Let's try again!
Lin Xiufeng and his group walked through the mountains and forests. When they passed under the trees, the rain was light, but when they stepped out of the shade, it was pouring rain.

The sound of raindrops falling on the raincoat was sometimes rapid and loud, and sometimes silent.

Annoyed by the noise, she ripped off her raincoat.

"I'm not wearing it anymore, I'm used to getting wet anyway."

Seeing that everyone was silent, she asked:
"How many levels of Heavenly Martial Power have you increased? Mine have increased by more than eight levels."

“Eight floors,” Fang Yuan was the first to answer.

"Nine floors." Lin Qiru's answer surprised Fang Yuan. He didn't know why Lin Qiru would say one more floor.

"Ten floors." Zhao Youyue had attacked the stag before and blown up a group of small bats, so more was to be expected.

"Eleventh floor, sigh, I messed up half the floor by sticking my own finger into the sharp tube."

Lin Xiufeng recalled testing the sharp tube of the stag beetle. He inserted it, realized something was wrong, and pulled it out. He lost half of his martial arts power. It was simply domineering!
Zhao Youyue calculated that Lin Xiufeng had blown up quite a few more small bats, which was about right.

"If it weren't for Bibi's unstoppable power, would we have been able to take it down today?"

Renxing kept thinking about this question the whole time.

"The chances are slim." Zhao Youyue even considered using her transformation ability, but upon reflection, only the Mist Spirit King had a chance.

Neither the Armadillo King nor the Tiger Dragon King had the ability to defeat the Armadillo.

Lin Xiufeng had considered it and felt that only by using the Mist Spirit King could they have a chance.

Seeing that Lin Qiru remained silent, chewing on her dried meat shreds as if she had other thoughts, he couldn't help but ask her:
"What do you think, Lin Qiru?"

Zhao Youyue's attention instantly focused, and she quickly glanced at Lin Xiufeng—

I felt a little relieved after confirming that there was no extra emotion in his gaze.

"I think if I observe for a while longer, I should be able to fully grasp the Bieber's reaction habits."

Lin Qiru's words were surprising, because everyone was observing, but no one had yet been certain of this.

Fang Yuan was also surprised; clearly, he wasn't so sure either.

Renxing asked her, quite shocked:
"You don't even see the slithering of the slithering beast as fast?"

"The piranha moves quite fast, and its most impressive feature is its rapid adaptability. If you can predict how it adapts, you can make a prediction."

Lin Qiru's tone was normal, without any particular emotion, but those who knew her strength did not doubt her judgment.

Zhao Youyue was a little discouraged, feeling that she needed to work harder to improve.

Zhao Youyue always believed that she would never be jealous of others.

It was only then that she suddenly realized that, perhaps because Lin Qiru and Lin Xiufeng's first love looked alike, it had inadvertently brought her a sense of crisis.
It's also because Lin Qiru possesses flow state abilities during battle, making her incredibly powerful.

In short, Zhao Youyue learned what jealousy was...

"Jealousy is wrong! Zhao Youyue, you can't do this! Lin Qiru isn't her cousin; you shouldn't harbor such hostility towards her!"

Jealousy won't change anything; it will only make you worse!

"Just be yourself, be a better version of yourself, and don't worry about the gains or losses that come with it."

There's no need to be jealous of people who are better than you; there will always be people better than you in the world!

Zhao Youyue silently adjusted herself, and that brief emotion quickly dissipated.

During this time, she did not notice that Lin Xiufeng was looking at Lin Qiru, nor did she notice that Lin Qiru's gaze lingered on Lin Xiufeng.

Does love make people blind? How did I become like this! It's so shameful, so shameful!

Zhao Youyue took a deep breath, calmed herself, and with her usual expression, gazed at the rainy sky ahead.

What a monotonous mountain view...

What a dreary rainy year...

Fortunately, I was traveling with my companions. We crossed one mountain after another, traversed plains, and forded rivers.

Fang Yuan confirmed the route through the micro-robot, and the journey continued northwards.

After encountering the mongoose, we traveled another two thousand kilometers, and along the way, we didn't encounter any mutated beasts, or even any villages.

During this time, they finally encountered Tianwu Po. After talking with him, they discovered that he had also been wandering in the wilderness for a long time without encountering any villages or mutated beasts.

If it wasn't a matter of luck, then the entire area had been swept away.

"Look ahead! What a big tree! There's a place to set up a pot and start a fire!"

Suddenly, Renxing discovered a giant tree over thirty meters tall in front of a plain, its branches and leaves so lush they resembled a giant umbrella.

Even when the rain is pouring down, not a single raindrop falls under the tree.

We should have had our first meal of the day long ago, but we couldn't find any shelter from the rain along the way, and the heavy rain made it difficult to set up a tent.

He casually shook the water off his hair, wrung it out, tied it up, and started setting up the pot.

Zhao Youyue was still wringing out her hair. Seeing her willful and impatient manner, she couldn't help but laugh. She glanced at Lin Qiru, who was also wringing out her hair, and said:

"I'm tired of eating scallion pork. You're so willful and enthusiastic, but I see you're eating less and less too."

"I went hungry for a while a few days ago and ate a lot. My appetite has returned to normal recently."

Lin Qiru smiled at Zhao Youyue, her smile pure and bright, exceptionally beautiful.

Zhao Youyue felt even more ashamed of the jealousy that had flashed through her mind earlier.

Lin Xiufeng suddenly called out, "Xiao You—let's go ahead and scout the way."

"I'm going first." Zhao Youyue greeted Lin Qiru and went over, complaining to herself, "What's the point of looking at a flat plain? Why didn't you say so earlier? My hair was just dried!"

Lin Qiru kept her head down and continued to wring out her long hair.

Fang Yuan glanced at her twice, then noticed her sly, willful gaze. He sighed helplessly and looked away.

Zhao Youyue ran into the downpour to catch up with Lin Xiufei, gave him a light kick in annoyance, and quickly dodged his counterattack.

The two chased and played around in the downpour for a while. In the end, Zhao Youyue pretended not to dodge and let Lin Xiufeng give her a light kick in return, thus ending the game of playful chasing.

Zhao Youyue asked again, "What are you doing? Is there anything to scout ahead?"

Lin Xiufeng gestured with his lips, and Zhao Youyue, noticing the bulge in his pocket, asked knowingly:

"Have you figured out a way to defeat them?"

"Didn't we say last time we'd try using the Heavenly Martial Weapon? Let's move a bit further away, aim at one spot, and stab it all at once. I refuse to believe we can't pierce it!"

Lin Xiufeng was worried about the radiant pearl of the beast the whole way.

He and Zhao Youyue tried several times on the way, but couldn't break through. Later, they even used their fists together, but still couldn't break through.

Later, they poured all their Heavenly Martial Power into their fists and threw a punch with all their might, but it still didn't break!

The Heavenly Martial Weapon Piercing Blade is the last resort, but it didn't pierce their bodies, so it's uncertain whether it will have a transformation effect.

Therefore, it was put on hold for some time. During this period, Lin Xiufeng thought about it again and again, but couldn't come up with any other plan.

Lin Xiufeng still decided to send the Heavenly Weapon.

After the two ran far away in the torrential rain, they gathered their Heavenly Martial Power together, which transformed into two Heavenly Martial Swords, one black and one red.

"The light orb is in my left palm. As usual, I'll count to three, then withdraw my left hand and launch the combined attack."

Lin Xiufeng held up the Heavenly Martial Sword, ready to strike.

Zhao Youyue drew her sword, gathering her strength, and nodded.
