Learn one small skill every day

Seeing Bai Miao already waiting in the captain's cabin, Bai Ying asked in confusion, "Did you know I would come?"

He snorted and said, "In that case, let's exchange the secret code."

"I am coming."

Bai Miao paused for a moment, then realized what he meant and replied, "You shouldn't have come."

Bai Ying chuckled after hearing this, her tone becoming more impassioned: "But I'm already here!"

Just like the elusive code "Black Tiger Afu," this is a classic dialogue known only to Bai Miao.

If Gu Long did not exist in this world, then his martial arts novels would not exist, and naturally, his classic lines and dialogues would not exist either.

That white figure... is myself.

Bai Miao was absolutely certain at that moment.

What secrets does this ship hold?

Bai Miao asked directly as well.

Why is there a version of myself that's always on this ship?

Bai Ying's laughter grew louder, then subsided: "Guess."

Immediately afterwards, black and gold patterns appeared on his arm, and he reached out to grab Bai Miao.

Bai Miao dodged to the side and then kicked at Bai Ying.

"boom!"

Their feet collided in mid-air. Bai Miao frowned slightly, sensing that the other's strength was greater than his own; it felt like kicking a block of tungsten.

Bai Ying was also quite surprised that her kick hadn't broken Bai Miao's leg.

He jumped back, creating some distance, and clicked his tongue in amazement: "I never expected to run into someone as amazing as you at this time."

"What are you? Why do you want to kill me?"

Bai Miao was extremely annoyed by Bai Ying's nonchalant attitude.

"I told you I wouldn't tell you, why don't you believe me?"

"Okay, I hope you can keep up your stubbornness."

Bai Miao drew his Moon Sword, and was now serious.

"So you've passed through the Shadow of Yar. No wonder you're so powerful. But since you've just passed through the Shadow of Yar and are still on this ship, you definitely haven't reached the Sunrise. If I use this, how will you deal with it?"

As he spoke, Bai Ying raised his arm, and wisps of black smoke surged from his shoulders toward the front of his palm. In the flash of golden light, a pitch-black hexagonal pillar floated in front of him.

With a gentle push, the jet-black pillar shot swiftly toward Bai Miao.

Bai Miao held the Moon Sword horizontally in front of him to block, but unexpectedly the pillar passed right through the Holy Sword and slammed into Bai Miao's chest.

"Boom!"

Bai Miao felt a sharp pain in his chest, and several of his ribs shattered in an instant.

If this pillar can pass through objects, why didn't it pierce my heart directly, but instead hit my chest?

Blood trickled from the corner of Bai Miao's mouth as he used his tongue to catch the flowing blood and swallow it back into his stomach.

The Blood Frenzy effect is active, so even though drinking your own blood has a poor effect, you can't just waste it.

The blood of Atalina that Bai Miao had collected from Favre's clothes after hunting her in the Shadow of Yar came in handy. He only needed to drink one bottle to recover from his injuries.

"This blood vial is a good thing."

Bai Ying said approvingly, "I hope you can take a few more hits and don't die so quickly. I'm counting on you to give me some more fun tonight."

"You'll have some fun, like sticking your head up your ass."

"Can't you do this yourself? You can eat instant noodles through your nostrils, so putting your head in your butt is a piece of cake."

The white shadow summoned the pillar once more, but Bai Miao did not use the holy sword to block it; instead, he chose to avoid the impact of the pillar.

But to everyone's surprise, Bai Ying didn't throw the pillar out again. Instead, she fixed it in front of her palm and swung it towards Bai Miao.

Bai Miao had no choice but to dodge. If this thing was hit even once, it would almost die. If it was hit directly, wouldn't its head be smashed into its stomach?

This pillar is so unfair, Bai Miao cursed inwardly.

"Sanzenin Sora, at full strength, come out here!"

Bai Miao summoned the magical girl of trust, Sanzenin Sora, who has a move that can create a golden barrier, and her power is also the highest, reaching 200 points, giving her a great advantage in close combat.

Upon seeing the glittering golden Sanzenin Sora, Bai Ying raised an eyebrow: "Holy crap, Sailor Moon? Where did you get that?"

Under Bai Miao's command, Sanzenin Kyō raised his fist and punched Bai Ying, while simultaneously creating a barrier to relieve the pressure on Bai Miao.

"There's something special about this thing."

The white figure's pillar slashed at the barrier, but instead of penetrating it, it created a tiny crack.

Sanzenin Sora's punches were so powerful that he dared not underestimate them. After his first attack failed, he nimbly retreated, but was still chased and attacked by Sanzenin Sora.

Each punch from Sanzenin Sora landed on the white figure, leaving dents, and the white figure cried out in pain.

However, Bai Miao felt that Sanzenin's attack did not cause much damage.

This guy has high physical resistance?

Bai Miao finally had some time to calm down and think about how to defeat the white shadow.

How about trying psychological attacks?

But the other party knows about Yar's Shadow, so they should also know about the Abyss's Cry, right?

Bai Miao brought out his spiritual body and activated the Gap Shuttle, instantly entering the gap between the spiritual and the real world.

Bai Miao positioned himself behind Bai Ying, carrying the Moon Sword and his spiritual body, and launched an attack on Bai Ying simultaneously.

Sanzenin Sora grabbed the white figure's arms, leaving him no way to avoid the attack.

Bai Miao's Moon Sword pierced through Bai Ying's chest, but avoided vital areas such as the heart, because Bai Miao wanted to detain Bai Ying for questioning.

"Ah! You have no sportsmanship, three against one! Where did you find a helper?"

Bai Ying's shout was still powerful, making Bai Miao doubt that his strike was actually quite ineffective.

But the white shadow could see its own spiritual body, yet it did not understand that this was its own spiritual body.

"Damn it, I'm going to use the lock!"

With a shout of anger, Bai Miao found himself frozen in place.

It's not time stop, it's a freeze?

Looking at Sanzenin Sora, one could see that black and gold chains had appeared on her body at some point, with the other end of the chains leading to an unknown void.

"I'm best at hitting women!"

The white figure seemed to realize that Sanzenin Sora was the biggest threat. He raised his finger, and three pillars fell from the void, smashing into Sanzenin Sora's head, spine, and buttocks, pinning her to the ground without moving.

The chains only held on for less than a second, but that was enough for the white figure to completely imprison Sanzenin Sora.

Bai Miao broke free of his restraints and decided to retaliate in kind.

"Time to stop!"

In one second, Bai Miao could slash the white figure four or five times.

The Moon Sword can restore Bai Miao's spiritual power, and when combined with his spiritual body to attack, it becomes a double blow of both spirit and physical attack.

Bai Miao didn't believe that the white figure could be immune to two types of damage at the same time.

How could there really be something so invincible?

From Bai Ying's perspective, he was slashed several times in an instant.

"What the hell? How many things about you are I unaware of? You shouldn't have shown up at this time..."

Bai Ying, in pain, used the pillar to force Bai Miao to retreat, while she herself retreated to a more distant place.

Now it's his turn to be afraid to get close.

Previously, he could rely on the pillar in his hand to ignore Bai Miao's defenses and attack, but now he has to be wary of Bai Miao's ability to repeatedly cut him several times in an instant.

The two stopped attacking each other and carefully considered each other's attack methods.

Bai Miao thought to himself, "This person just mentioned a lock, so could the pillar be the key?"

Does he possess both the lock and the key by himself?

Bai Miao also felt something was wrong. If there was a Zero Time Lock, he couldn't possibly be affected by his own time stop.

Bai Miao saw that this guy used a lock, but the effect was not time stop, so he boldly used the time stop of the Zero Time Lock to fight against it.

Now it seems that the lock and key in his hands are definitely not the Zero Time Lock and the One Beginning Key.

Is it a semi-finished product?

Bai Ying pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized: "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You've already completed the later stages, and now you want to come back and add more settings and plot? You're definitely going to fail!"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Our understanding is completely different. You should know that I hate riddles. Can you please explain yourself clearly?"

"You hate riddle makers, but that doesn't mean you hate being a riddle maker, right? What do you mean by this double standard?"

"Fuck you."

"Hehe, I'm an orphan."

Bai Miao drew his sword and slashed.

Bai Miao did indeed find it difficult to confront his other self.

In pure melee combat, Bai Miao is at a disadvantage, and he is only barely managing to turn the tide by relying on his spiritual attacks.

However, both sides had their concerns, resulting in a stalemate for a time.

Bai Ying was getting a little annoyed with the situation. He kicked Bai Miaoyue's sword, sending Bai Miao flying. "So be it! Tell me how you suddenly slashed me so many times, and I'll cooperate and answer one of your questions. It seems I can't kill you, and you can't kill me either. Let's make peace!"

"Now you know how to make peace?"

Bai Miao thought to himself that he still had the active skills Silence and Howling Abyss that he hadn't used yet.

This thing probably only has a lock and a key, right?
