Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

The sharp clang of metal clashing tore through the air, and the sparks from their friction were blindingly bright. Lin Shiye and Caiye's figures flashed past each other at high speed in the center of the arena, and the aftershocks of their weapons clashing made the ground tremble slightly.

Huiyao watched the two figures, and for a moment he didn't know who to support.

Stop! Stop! Please stop fighting!

"The Hidden Unicorn has appeared!"

Lin Shiye removed the Chongyuan Pearl from Jiyun and held it in his palm, speaking in a deep voice.

The surging waves suddenly surged and condensed into a huge vortex around him. Then, a blue water dragon shot into the sky, its massive body almost obscuring the entire arena's dome, exuding an oppressive aura.

"Drinking the moon in the celestial cave, the azure dragon cleanses the world!"

With his command, the water dragon roared through the sky, carrying towering waves as it hurtled towards Caiye.

"I'd like to see how you dodge this move!"

Such a stunning scene instantly ignited the chat room's comments section.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! They went all out!]

[They've completely drained the blue bar! That's ruthless!]

[Mumu is forever a god! I remember this skill could only be unlocked by soloing the high-risk boss, Huanlong!]

The farce is over!

The water dragon crashed down with a deafening roar, and the icy seawater instantly engulfed the entire arena.

Just when everyone thought the battle was over, a giant fox rose up from the ground and with a single swipe of its claws, cleaved the towering sea in two.

The fox head aimed at Lin Shiye, and a dazzling white incandescent light slowly condensed in its mouth.

"What is this?!" Lin Shiye was taken aback.

Colorful leaves, how many surprises are you going to bring me!

Holy crap, nothing happened?

[A gigantic, phantom fox... Could it be?]

[That's right, it's the legendary true form of a beast soul!]

[Is it the ultimate technique—Beast Soul True Form—that requires reaching level seven or higher in racial stats and completing extremely difficult challenge missions to master?!]

[Even professional players probably don't have this kind of talent, right? Just who is this CaiP?!]

"Tailed Beast Ball!"

With a shout, Caiye unleashed a beam of light, fully charged.

Lin Shiye quickly rolled to the side to dodge, but the terrifying shockwave still grazed his shoulder. His health bar plummeted at a visible speed, eventually stopping at a glaring one percent.

[Oh no! Mumu is in danger!]

[What's worse is that his mana bar is empty, and his health is down to the last sliver. If he gets hit, he'll lose...]

In other words...

That's right, it seems the P-ranked player won.

The giant fox phantom dissipated, leaving Caiye standing there panting. She wasn't in great shape either; her health and mana were almost depleted, but she was still more than capable of dealing with Lin Shiye.

can win!

Seeing Caiye's condition, Lin Shiye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his all-or-nothing ultimate move was still very effective. Even if the opponent used the Beast Soul True Form, it could not block all the damage, and its mana was also depleted.

This is also why Caiye didn't maintain her beast soul form and kill him directly. If he had managed to dodge that fatal blow, without her mana, the outcome would have been truly uncertain.

In terms of pure skill, Caiye wasn't confident she could beat Lin Shiye.

"Well, it seems to be quite effective." Lin Shiye grinned.

"Should I say I admire your mentality? You can still smile even at this point." Caiye straightened up, her tone filled with a confident ease.

"I won't admit defeat until the very last moment!" Lin Shiye replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, Caiye didn't hesitate. She combined her two swords into one and swung it out with force. As it spun at high speed, the blades transformed into a disc, tearing through the surrounding air and slashing towards Lin Shiye.

This is the ultimate technique of dual swords—the Heaven and Earth Sun and Moon Slash!

She didn't intend to defeat her opponent with just this one move.

Any player with even a little skill could dodge such an obvious wind-up animation by simply dodging.

The real killer move is herself.

The moment the Qiankun Riyue Slash flew out, Caiye exerted force with her feet, and her figure closed the distance like an arrow released from a bow.

Lin Shiye did indeed dodge the frontal attack by sidestepping, but... just like bowling has a second throw, the Qiankun Sun and Moon Slash also has a second stage!

The sharp disc returned from behind with a whooshing sound, while in front, Ayaka's fist was already aimed straight at her face.

With everything sealed off from both sides, Lin Shiye, where can you escape to?

Despite being in dire straits, Lin Shiye showed no panic on his face; instead, a bright smile appeared on his face.

Caiye could see it clearly; it was a confident smile that showed she was willing to risk everything, and even if she failed in the end, she would never have any regrets.

Swish-!

Just as the two attacks were about to strike simultaneously, Lin Shiye's figure suddenly blurred, leaving only a gilded afterimage that slowly dissipated in the wind.

"Perfect dodge!" Aya's heart sank.

A perfect dodge is an extreme maneuver performed the instant an attack hits, leaving only a cool golden afterimage without consuming any stamina.

This move alone is not particularly shocking, but for Ayaka, a strong sense of foreboding instantly welled up in her heart when she saw Shanglin Shiye.

If it were him... he could definitely do it, right?

The next second, Lin Shiye's fist, carrying the force of a whirlwind, slammed into her abdomen. Black and red lightning coiled around her body like venomous snakes, and a crisp, unique sound effect exploded in every corner of the arena.

At the same time, Lin Shiye's already dried-up blue bar and his precarious health bar suddenly surged.

The live chat exploded with excitement.

That's... Soul Stealing!!!

Well done, Master Mumu!

Don't let the fighting stop!!

The conditions for triggering Soul Stealing are extremely demanding: you must perform a perfect dodge while at low health and hit the enemy within 0.5 seconds. There is absolutely no room for error; the slightest mistake will lead to annihilation.

But Lin Shiye did it!

Status restored, skills refreshed, attack power greatly increased.

Lin Shiye was absolutely ecstatic at that moment!

How long has it been? How long has it been since he experienced such a pure game of strategy? This kind of exhilarating experience, where every second is like dancing on a knife's edge and every exchange is a gamble with everything, is truly irresistible!

This guy looks really excited...

Caiye, who had been knocked away, scrambled to her feet, inwardly complaining.

The situation reversed again, and Lin Shiye regained the advantage in health points.

"Let's settle this with one move," Lin Shiye said, as a giant dragon phantom rose from the ground behind him.

"True Beast Soul Form!"

Without hesitation, Caiye's enormous fox phantom appeared behind her.

The two used up all their mana and simultaneously charged up their energy cannons.

If I were to go head-to-head with the dragon's beast soul, I would definitely lose.

Caiye began to think.

However, although the damage output is inferior, the fox race charges up faster than the dragon race. As long as I launch my attack before the dragon completes its charge, the final victor will surely be...

Her fingertips suddenly paused.

"Come on, without holding back!"

Seeing Lin Shiye's burning gaze, devoid of any calculation, filled only with an unyielding desire to fight to the bitter end, Caiye's heart softened in the end.

This guy... is as childish as ever.

Caiye smiled wryly, but a hint of tenderness, unnoticed even by herself, welled up in her eyes.

"I'm really defeated by you," she said softly.

"This is a one-time offer."

The next moment, their eyes narrowed simultaneously, and the long-charged light cannons suddenly clashed!

(A powerful melody begins...)

Luv me, Luv me! Hate me, Hate me!

Luv me, Luv me! Kill me, Kill me...

"She's so incredibly sweet, Aya!" Lin Shiye laughed excitedly.

A violent explosion rang out, and thick smoke billowed up from the entire arena, obstructing visibility and making it impossible to see anything around us.

However, Lin Shiye's gaze quickly locked onto a certain direction.

"Your bulky fox outfit gives you away!" Lin Shiye charged toward the target, his Strike Cloud sword successfully piercing the target, but the feel was off.

empty? !

Lin Shiye was startled when he saw the fox suit that had shrunk to a limp state.

"Here!" Caiye appeared behind Lin Shiye like a ghost and slashed his back solidly with her knife.

Lin Shiye's health plummeted again, but instead of being alarmed, he was delighted and suddenly turned around to swing his gun.

"Let's fight!"

The two were once again engaged in close-quarters combat. Although Aya managed to gain the upper hand with a sneak attack, she quickly fell behind in the direct confrontation.

Just as she had thought, without mana to support her skills, she was no match for Lin Shiye when it came down to pure skill and reaction.

But... so what?

Why not just have a good, satisfying fight?

Caiye was completely caught up in the moment and threw all her worries to the back of her mind.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

The viewers held their breath, watching the battle intently with a mix of tension and excitement.

[That's powerful! It's so powerful it hurts my teeth!]

More, I want more!

[To actually achieve this level of skill, Hajitsu, Hajim, you two...]
