I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Mingxian waved his hand: "I'm not a senior, nor am I a student at this school. If I had to say, I'd say I'm here to visit."

"Is that so?" Kirin Toudou was slightly surprised.

After all, it's a city like this. They look like students, but their mature demeanor makes them seem like college students.

Mingxian was overjoyed to have acquired such a nice mount, and was even willing to say a few more words.

"The feeling you described about the sword is because I am the master of all weapons, which is why I have this kind of aura."

"real or fake?"

“Of course it’s true!” Mingxian puffed out his chest and said proudly, “There is no weapon in the heavens or the earth that I cannot subdue, nor is there any weapon that I cannot use. Even the most powerful steel sword in the world, no, the universe, can only submit to my authority!”

"That's amazing." A glimmer of light appeared in Kirin Toudou's timid eyes.

This reaction surprised Mingxian: "You actually believed it? Wouldn't most people think I'm bragging?"

Kirin Toudou shrank back.

"Because your tone was so natural, it must be true, right?"

"it is true."

Kirin Toudou, like a child seeing a toy, raised the katana at her waist and asked, "Senpai, may I try this child?"

“Of course.” Mingxian gripped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out sharply.

Zheng!

The curved blade reflected the sound of the strings in his eyes.

Then, Naruhira began to swing her sword, the blade cutting through the air and precisely grazing the tip of Toudou Kirin's nose.

"Amazing."

Kirin Toudou exclaimed in genuine admiration.

This simple swing of the knife demonstrates an exquisite control over the body's muscles and overall strength.

Martial arts is essentially about exploring one's own physical potential.

The strongest martial artist can mobilize the strength of their entire body.

only……

Kirin Toudou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior, you haven't actually learned swordsmanship, have you?"

"I really haven't studied it."

"How did you manage to control your strength so perfectly, senior?"

"Um……"

This is the gene lock.

Mingxian couldn't answer that question either, since the ability to strengthen one's thoughts, suppress one's subconscious, and directly control one's body was basically all thanks to the spiritual roots granted by the system.

Now that you mention it, the system is actually quite useful.

Conversely, Kirin Toudou's question is actually how to strengthen her thoughts and make her mind strong enough to suppress her subconscious.

meditation?

Perhaps the psychics in world 492 have corresponding training methods.

"I learned it in battle." Mingxian put the katana back into its sheath. "After many life-or-death battles, I've unknowingly reached this level."

Kirin Toudou was taken aback at first, then nodded: "I see, that makes sense. Sparring is the best way to train, especially since life-or-death battles are indeed a way to improve oneself."

She wholeheartedly agreed with this statement.

Then, feeling something was amiss, he looked up and asked, "Senior doesn't look very old, how could you have experienced so many life-or-death battles?"

Yeah, why?

He had actually experienced several life-or-death battles in less than two days.

Mingxian smiled and waved his hand, showing the card box in his hand.

"Actually, I'm a knight."

Kirin Toudou stared blankly at the card box in Narugen's hand, and for some reason suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

She felt somewhat dazed.

It's like I've seen this card box before.

It has a very deep connection with us.

Mingxian hummed in agreement, looked carefully at Toudou Kirin, and said slowly, "I am the radiant one, I am the invincible one, the eternal destiny has granted me creation, pursue the evildoers from behind, and lead the righteous ones from the front, chant my name, and become the victory incantation!"

An incredible wind blew.

Dao Teng Qilin's delicate body swayed, her gaze suddenly rising, as if her spiritual essence had been blown out of her body by this gust of spiritual wind.

Then, her gaze returned to her delicate body.

As her spirit returned to her body, Kirin Toudou inexplicably felt much lighter, her spirit suddenly brightened, and her mind seemed to become much clearer.

"I think I saw it..." Kirin Toudou's tone was hesitant, but then became firm, and she grabbed Naruzuru's hand that was holding the card case.

"Senior, this is no good. If you take it, the other knights will be after you, and also..."

She suddenly widened her eyes and uttered a sentence from her lips in an incredulous tone.

"Time can go backwards."

Mingxian simply asked, "Did you remember something?"

“No, it’s just…” Kirin Toudou hesitated for a moment before saying, “I feel like my soul has gained three times the weight.”

The sound of the zither reminded him of the words of the knight Odin.

The ceremony has been repeated eighty times.

It doesn't mean that eighty games were played, but rather that the time loop has gone through eighty cycles.

"This last round isn't really the last round, but it has to be the last round because of me."

The Godslayer's powerful mystical resistance renders even large-scale supernatural forces ineffective, shattering them like porcelain hitting a hard rock.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and Knight Odin can no longer reset time.

So this is the final round.

Mingxian reached out her other hand and enveloped Toudou Kirin's small hand.

"Don't worry, I'm very strong."

"But……"

Kirin Toudou was somewhat worried, a terrifying figure lurking deep within her soul.

That is a terrifying existence that is absolutely invincible.

She lowered her head, pondered for a while, and finally raised her head.

"If you don't mind, senior, I'm willing to teach you swordsmanship. At least, I can support you until...the end..."

What's the final outcome?

Kirin Toudou doesn't remember either.

I only have a vague impression.

"Senior, you must live well!"

Kirin Toudou raised her eyes and looked into Narugen's eyes.

Perhaps it was because of the three extra weights that suddenly appeared in her soul that a resolute look appeared in her timid eyes.

Mingxian: "..."

Another person who doesn't know what to say.

"Okay, then."

What else could I say but to comply with her?

I happened to have nowhere else to go.

drop!

A crisp notification sound suddenly rang in Kirin Toudou's ears, like a shooting star suddenly appearing in the night sky, breaking the original tranquility.

A virtual window slowly unfolded in front of her without any warning.

"What are you dawdling about, Kirin!"

A harsh rebuke, like a thunderclap on a summer afternoon, immediately rang out, making one's eardrums seem to tremble.

"Yeah, sorry!"

Kirin Toudou seemed to only remember something now, her face turning deathly pale, like the first snow of winter, pure and fragile.

"Get here right now!"

The reprimands continued unabated, like a roar in a raging storm, carrying an undeniable force.

Immediately afterwards, the voice hung up the communication on its own, causing the spatial window to close automatically in front of Kirin Toudou, as if nothing had ever happened, leaving only a blank space and silence.

Mingxian: "..."

Was the girl's sudden change of heart just a figment of her imagination?

Even though the soul has gained three times the weight, it still retains its soft and yielding nature.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became somewhat heavy, the air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became difficult.

Kirin Toudou stood there alone, her figure appearing exceptionally lonely and insignificant, as if forgotten by the entire world.

Mingxian gently placed his hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

Kirin Toudou nodded, but did not deliberately quicken her pace. Instead, she walked out of the gate with Naruhiro. She kept her head down the whole way, her eyes flickering from time to time, as if she was thinking about something.
