Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

The spreading gold was like a bright lamp in the night, extremely conspicuous in the pitch-black darkness.

Even the mutated nightmares hiding in the shadows couldn't help but cast their gazes.

It sensed something was wrong and decisively switched the form of its tentacles, transforming them into a black straight blade that slashed towards Yin Mengyao with a whooshing sound!

"Trying to kill me instantly?"

Yin Mengyao narrowed her eyes slightly.

Having watched the battle for so long, the Nightmare must understand that mental attacks are ineffective against it, so it's best to use its sixth-tier physical attributes to overwhelm it.

In a sixth-order domain, how could she, a mentalist, possibly fight him in close combat?

So, she chose to... decisively throw the knife in her hand!

The level difference is too great; it's best to be cautious.

"Clang!"

The blades clashed, producing a crisp hum.

But the next second, the Tang sword instantly disintegrated into seven flying knives, which shot towards the Nightmare's vital points!

However, the nightmare only let out a low growl, and the surrounding shadows surged, extending countless tentacles that wrapped around it like a cocoon.

Then, the throwing knife struck the smooth, black cocoon surface and missed, causing no damage.

But they also used the force of the recoil to pass by Yin Mengyao and landed not far away.

She had clearly anticipated this, and enduring the erosion, she used her mental power to quickly retract it.

The throwing knives reassembled, transforming into the shape of a Tang sword, which Yin Mengyao held in her hand.

She never intended to cause any real damage; with reinforcements arriving, stalling for time was the priority.

Yin Mengyao seemed to sense something and looked ahead.

In the distance, amidst the golden light, a dazzling slash was tearing through the air.

Its light alone is enough to make the surrounding darkness instinctively retreat.

She was even more certain that the reinforcements were [Eternal Day].

But... logically speaking, the other party should have awakened later than me, shouldn't they be around the third tier now?

Judging from this performance, it seems like they've already activated their own domain?

Fifth order?

But as fellow human beings at the pinnacle of humanity, there will be many more opportunities to meet in the future. The current situation is urgent, so she can only suppress her doubts for now.

In the blink of an eye, the slash arrived on the battlefield, precisely striking the location of the nightmare.

It had just emerged from its cocoon when it was struck in the face by this slash, and the expression on its face, which resembled a little human girl, finally changed slightly.

The next second, Nightmare's body seemed to melt away, merging with the shadow beneath his feet and disappearing without a trace.

"Sizzle!"

Although the slash missed Nightmare, it unexpectedly opened a gap, revealing the scene inside the carriage outside the domain.

The surrounding darkness writhed, trying to mend the void.

However, many golden specks of light still clung to the edge of the crack, flashing like breathing.

It collided and pulled with the power of shadow, emitting a violent hissing sound. The intense reaction caused the crack to grow larger and larger.

"One slash... and it cleaved through the domain?"

Even knowing that [Eternal Day] is naturally restrained by [Nightmare] and [Chaos], Yin Mengyao still couldn't help but gasp in amazement.

For some reason, this [Eternal Day] can exhibit characteristics that are only present at the fifth rank, even though its attack power and might are only at the fourth rank.

Is it close to advancing to the next level?

Or is he simply a monster with extraordinary comprehension?

As is well known, due to individual differences, even if the abilities are the same, the power can vary greatly in the hands of different awakened individuals.

It's true that everyone with a top-tier sequence is a genius, but if the holder's abilities are already outstanding, a genius among geniuses, then of course it can be the icing on the cake.

Since the other side is so powerful, if we join forces, we can at least repel it, if not kill it.

Her gaze shifted, and the nightmare vanished into the darkness, remaining silent thereafter.

But a sixth-order calamity is definitely not that simple.

Yin Mengyao lowered her eyes, the ground beneath her feet had turned golden, radiating a reassuring power of [radiance].

At a glance, nearly half of this shadowy area has been "illuminated".

In the distance, Ye Chenyang, carrying a long blade, arrived beside Yin Mengyao and the other person in a few steps.

"You brought people with you?"

Yin Mengyao glanced at the two people behind him; they looked equally young and their levels were probably not high.

Perhaps, like the girl beside him, she was also a survivor picked up on the street.

So she stepped forward and introduced herself crisply and clearly:

"Yin Mengyao, Sequence 2, [Return to the Void], Fourth Rank."

"Ye Chenyang, Sequence 4, [Eternal Day], Fourth Order."

Ye Chenyang gave a brief response.

The real trouble was the calamity that besieged him and Yin Mengyao.

His companions had all been killed and transformed into cores within Jiang Mian's space, so there weren't many obstacles on the way.

Finding the correct carriage actually took some effort.

The two didn't waste any more words.

Within the domain that Ye Chenyang had reversed and occupied, Yin Mengyao was now able to use her mental power normally.

As the pinnacle of the [Soul], she naturally possesses basic skills such as mental networks, allowing her to communicate directly using mental power without needing to speak.

Seeing that the two seemed to be talking about something, Jiang Mian consciously led Shen Qiuyu and the petite girl to stand aside.

With another human leader present, we can leave the rest to them and figure out how to acquire the core ourselves.

Although that sixth-tier nightmare smelled strange, like stinky tofu soaked in snail rice noodles, its attributes were completely countered by Ye Chenyang, so it shouldn't cause any trouble.

She looked at the petite girl and felt a strange sense of familiarity about her.

"Hello?"

Perhaps because of the series of mental shocks she had been experiencing, the girl was stunned for a long time before she realized that someone was calling her.

Fortunately, she didn't become an idiot. After a brief exchange, Jiang Mian figured out her basic information.

Xu Xiaoan, also a student participating in the training program, has an ability of Sequence 47, [Phantom Spirit], at the second tier.

【Phantom Dancer】?

Jiang Mian didn't think about it too much, assuming it was just a misconception caused by the similarity of abilities to the [Imitator], and turned to look at Ye Chenyang.

He quickly finished exchanging tactics with Yin Mengyao and took the lead, heading towards the thick shadows.

Ye Chenyang had once told her that he was now able to deploy a temporary domain to resist opponents of the fifth rank and above.

His domain mechanism can probably be summarized in two words—illumination.

Simply put, other people's domain is a dark room, while his domain is a light bulb.

Once activated, the power of [Eternal Day] can penetrate the opponent's domain, gradually seizing control of a portion of the domain.

It can be said that in a battle between equals, the [Eternal Day] domain can at least achieve a 50/50 split.

After expanding his domain, his attack power will also be greatly increased.

Furthermore, without any physical contact, it can instantly imbue all targets with the power of [Eternal Day], and autonomously decide whether to apply purification or damage.

However, its shortcomings are also obvious.

His own defense will be greatly reduced, and the duration of his [Holy Radiance] ability to save his life will be halved.

As a result, even with survival skills, the margin for error is greatly reduced.

Without teammates, he's just a high-attack, low-defense cannon.

Ye Chenyang held the knife in his right hand, while his left hand formed a complex string of golden runes. He said in a deep voice:

"The domain unfolds... [Eternal Radiance]."
