Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

Sikong looked toward the source of the applause and saw the emotionless Bronya, and... Kiana, peeking around like a thief.

Bronya! Why are you clapping?!

The paramecium said with a dissatisfied look.

"It's no use." The girl with no personality said calmly, "There's no way the two of us could hide it from Sikong. He must have found out about us a long time ago."

This is true.

Before Bronya even clapped, Sikong had already spotted the two figures through the surrounding wind; the Herrscher of Wind's abilities were quite good at reconnaissance.

Sikong could even roughly observe Kiana and Bronya's measurements by looking at the wind.

I saw someone nearby.

Raiden Mei blushed even more, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at them. Sikong stood up and said, "Shouldn't you be resting in your rooms? Why did you all come here all of a sudden?"

"Bronya said there was a good show to watch, so I came." Kiana, having sold out the emotionless girl, said sourly, "Who knew you were going to propose to Mei... I shouldn't have come."

The paramecium had mixed feelings, but there was nothing it could do.

Bronya showed no change in expression.

Let's leave this matter here for now.

The next day, just as Sikong decided to set off back to St. Freya Academy.

The Valkyrie from the Far East branch approaches Sikong.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

In the living room on the first floor, Sikong met the Valkyrie. Without beating around the bush, she said directly, "Major General Sikong, due to the turmoil in the martial arts world of Shenzhou, we are unable to spare enough Valkyries, so... could you do us a small favor?"

"What kind of help?"

Sikong was somewhat curious.

"Help us..." The Valkyrie's red lips parted slightly, "...kill someone."

Then... the Valkyrie briefed Sikong on the recent situation in the martial arts world of China.

It turns out that a disciple of an elder in the Taixu Sword Sect had gone mad from practicing demonic arts, including the Star Absorbing Technique.

Upon hearing the words "Star Absorbing Technique,"

Sikong was somewhat confused. If he remembered correctly, this skill was not recorded in the Heavenly Mandate Archives.

So I asked for more details.

The Valkyrie said, "The Star Absorbing Technique is a secret cultivation method that the Taixu Sword Sect has been researching for hundreds of years because... according to the records of the Taixu Sword Sect, the technique passed down by the former Immortal Chiyuan does not store true qi in the dantian; it only trains the meridians to absorb true qi from the surroundings..."

"The current Tai Xu True Technique is merely a modified version by the disciple of Immortal Chi Yuan."

"Therefore... the Taixu Sword Sect wanted to recreate the cultivation method passed down by the Crimson Kite Immortal. After hundreds of years of research, they finally created the Star Absorbing Technique. It only trains the meridians and does not store true qi in the dantian. Once a battle begins, it can continuously absorb true qi from the surroundings to replenish its own consumption."

After listening to the introduction of the Star Absorbing Technique.

Sikong said, "Since this is the Star Absorbing Technique created by the Taixu Sword Sect, why do you call it a demonic art? It sounds pretty good to me..."

"The Star Absorbing Technique is quite effective, but unfortunately it has a fatal flaw, which is... in the early stages, the speed at which it absorbs true energy from the surrounding air is too slow. If you want to quickly master the Star Absorbing Technique, you can only absorb the true energy from other people's bodies. However, absorbing the true energy from other people's bodies can easily cause conflicts... affecting one's mind, which is to say, going into qi deviation."

The Valkyrie sighed softly.

Sikong understood what the other party meant.

For martial artists, true qi is almost their lifeblood. Compared to the true qi they use in battle, most of their true qi actually resides in the dantian, circulating silently.

This part of the true energy cannot be used; it is the foundation of a martial arts practitioner.

Once damaged, the person is completely useless.

Since that guy wanted to absorb true energy, he certainly wouldn't leave other people's foundation intact; he would absorb it all in one go.

"Such an evil technique should have been properly hidden away, how could it have been stolen?"

A question mark flashed across Sikong's face.

The Valkyrie explained, "On the night the Rebellion of Yuna broke out at the Taixu Sword Sect... a true disciple named Zhuge Xuan secretly entered the library and stole the Star Absorbing Technique..."

Upon hearing this, Sikong could no longer contain himself.

It turns out I caused this trouble myself.

"Next... Zhuge Xuan left the Taixu Sword Sect. After mastering the Star Absorbing Technique, he stirred up trouble in the martial arts world of China, draining the true energy of hundreds of martial artists and turning them into cripples."

Chapter 371 Star Absorbing Technique

Sikong fell silent.

Even when Yuno's clones wreaked havoc in the library, they didn't see anything like the Star Absorbing Technique...

"Wait... could that be the secret manual that old guy has...?"

Sikong recalled the cultivation technique he had thrown on the ground like trash. At that time, he was only thinking about the Taixu True Technique and looked down on other cultivation techniques. He never expected that there were demonic techniques like the Star Absorbing Technique hidden in it.

They really underestimated the Taixu Sword Sect.

“Now that Zhuge Xuan has mastered the Star Absorbing Technique, we sent two A-rank Valkyries last time, but we couldn’t catch him. Instead, he injured one of them and absorbed a lot of Honkai energy…” A trace of worry flashed in the Valkyrie’s eyes. “If the Star Absorbing Technique had been more compatible with the Honkai energy in the Valkyrie’s body than true qi, I’m afraid the two of them would have been defeated even more completely.”

"If left unchecked, Zhuge Xuan will eventually become a pseudo-Herrscher due to qi deviation."

The Valkyrie looked at Sikong quietly, wanting to get help from this S-rank Destiny Knight.

Sikong took a deep breath, raised his head, and said, "You're saying... he killed hundreds of martial arts practitioners?"

"Yes, now all the major sects in China dare not send their disciples down the mountain to prevent Zhuge Xuan from causing more bloodshed."

"I remember that the six major sects of Shenzhou have several A-level members combined, right? Could it be that even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat them?"

In the land of China, there are not many disasters that cause collapse.

Even if a disaster breaks out.

They will also be wiped out by martial arts practitioners.

Often, the Valkyries of the Far East branch don't even need to take action.

"Yes, we can't beat him... The Star Absorbing Technique has a strong suppressive effect on the martial arts of the Divine Continent. Even when the six major sects joined forces to besiege him, Zhuge Xuan still managed to escape. Several elders and sect leaders were also injured and their foundations were damaged. They are currently in seclusion to recuperate."

"I understand. Leave this to me."

Sikong nodded to the unknown Valkyrie.

This matter... was originally related to him as well. If Sikong hadn't controlled Yuna's clone to cause trouble at the Taixu Sword Sect, none of this would have happened.

Moreover, Sikong was very interested in the Star Absorbing Technique, so he had a reason to take action.

"Excellent, Major General Sikong, this is a case concerning Zhuge Xuan..."

The Valkyrie pulled out a stack of documents from the side and placed them in front of Sikong.

I did a quick flip through it.

Sikong discovered that Zhuge Xuan had not only killed hundreds of martial arts practitioners, but also hundreds or even thousands of ordinary people, most of whom were murdered for money, leaving him with a long list of blood debts.

And these things...

It did not cause a ripple in China.

Because the Destiny Organization is very good at blocking information.

Even the casualties of millions in Changkong City and Manila could be overshadowed, let alone the fact that fewer than 10,000 people died.

The Destiny Organization excels at whitewashing reality.

Looking at the photo of the somewhat heroic-looking man, Sikong slowly closed his eyes. Then... as if struck by a thought, he looked at the female warrior and said, "You mean... none of the major sects dare to send disciples down the mountain?"

"yes......"

"Then how come I ran into Gongsun Lekang yesterday..." Sikong was somewhat confused. "Never mind, let's not think about that... Let's just kill Zhuge Xuan as soon as possible."

"Perfect timing, I was just thinking of getting another clone, and this has come to me like this!"

Sikong sneered inwardly, then stood up and left with the unknown Valkyrie.

Raiden Mei saw this and asked what was wrong. When she learned that Sikong was going on a mission, she didn't say much, just told him to come back soon, like a dutiful wife.

Kiana watched with envy, yet there was nothing she could do.

Regarding the mission of the Far East branch.

Sikong planned to do it alone.

This makes it easier for me to seize the new form.

soon......

Having learned Zhuge Xuan's approximate location, Sikong manipulated the invisible wind, rising from the ground and heading towards his destination. He flew very high, greeting many departments on the ground.

It won't happen that Sikong is flying along and suddenly sees a bunch of missiles flying towards him.

Use your abilities to soar through the sky.

This wasn't the first time Sikong had done this, but every time he looked down at the world from his high vantage point, he felt a surge of pride.

As for how to find the other party...

This is something Sikong doesn't need to worry about; the Destiny Organization has the intelligence to help with it.

Finding Zhuge Xuan was a very troublesome matter. With the help of the Far East branch, Sikong searched for three days before finally finding the guy.

Zhuge Xuan, dressed in casual clothes, hid in a coastal city.

According to intelligence from the Far East branch.

If the other party wants to travel to North America by ship, the influence of the two forces, Tianming and Shenzhou, will be greatly reduced once they enter the territory of the Anti-Entropy Organization.

Everyone says that Zhuge Xuan has gone mad with evil spirits.

Sikong thinks he's still quite mentally sound.

Unfortunately...

Before Zhuge Xuan boarded the ship, he had already been targeted by Sikong.

It was a quiet night.
