Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Try one's best!"

Accompanied by a tremendous roar and a malfunctioning sound system, the girl's fist imprint remained as unbreakable as an ancient city wall, firmly blocking all attacks.

But her body kept retreating, and there was no time to use techniques to deflect the force. In this head-on duel, Fu Hua's feet plowed outwards for more than a meter before she could suppress the violent power.

Clearly, even a martial arts master cannot completely ignore Sato Yuno's punch without going all out.

But the result still came out.

Burning intensely like fireworks, emitting dazzling starlight, the girl's arm armor began to show cracks that were gradually spreading, and the armor had automatically deactivated.

The burst mode was automatically shut down first, and the thrusters gradually entered dormant mode. A large amount of steam and a small amount of cooling gas were discharged to automatically reduce the overheated armor. The heat insulation layer of the armor was almost destroyed, and the girl's skin had been burned in part.

If Sato Yuno thought about it even a little, she would realize that this is not a simple virtual battle scene at all, but an Emerald Armor that is almost indistinguishable from reality and a battle that is a complete recreation of reality.

From the very beginning, Fu Hua's purpose in asking her to come here for training was not pure.

But the girl had no time to think at that moment. With her heart pounding and most of her energy depleted, even her sense of time seemed to slow down.

Only the background music was still running for the time being, but the rhythm of the drums was also slowing down. At this moment, she suddenly felt that Kiana's taste was not too bad. At least during this brief period of silence, this music made her feel less bad.

The armor's lack of follow-up damage caused her punch to fail.

The calculation formula system has been shut down; the current illusory arm armor only exists because of Sato Yuno's will.

Defeat was inevitable.

In the brief moment of silence, Sato Yuno had only one thought left.

At least let me finish this punch.

So she continued to throw punches.

The pseudo-Herrscher core paused for a moment, then a torrent of Honkai energy surged into the arm armor.

The leaping sparks grew ever brighter, like some enormous creature exhaling a long breath. In the instant that all the Honkai energy surged in, Sato Yuno instinctively used her most proficient Honkai energy shaping technique.

In a daze, the roar of the giant dragon echoed throughout the entire underground space.

In the instant the gauntlet was completely annihilated and crushed into countless sparks, Sato Yuno's will shaped Honkai energy into a giant dragon head, which swept out with the breath of a storm carrying burning Honkai energy sparks.

Faced with such an exaggerated scene, the usually composed and calm girl broke into a smile.

She threw a straight punch, a very serious straight punch.

All martial arts techniques are put into practice here.

The collapse of a great river can scatter countless threads, which, with profound and mysterious techniques, all flow into this one punch, combining to create an imaginary arrangement that is beyond calculation.

This is an extremely precise yet extremely violent martial art. The arrangement of each punch is the result of instinct and intuition. Therefore, even if one forgets all memories, the Inch Heart Fist Technique will still be a martial art that even an immortal can instinctively unleash.

This is not martial arts that requires learning and memorization; it is closer to something ethereal and intangible.

Su Qing'an does not know the true Cunxin Fist technique because its greatest power and essence are things that cannot be taught or replicated.

This set of boxing techniques is like a constantly evolving set of inspirational memes. Even the immortal himself cannot replicate each punch he throws using a formula.

So, assuming that one day Su Qing'an can throw an almost identical punch, that would be his own unique Inch Heart Fist Technique, his own unique martial art.

The incredible power and ability of the immortal who created such martial arts are beyond description in normal language.

This is the epitome of martial arts mastery.

"【tryone's best】(leave no room for compromise)".

Amidst the faint, stumbling sound effects, two fists clashed.

The storm was shattered by sheer violence, and the remains of the dragon's head were once again crushed high in the sky.

The remaining sparks of Honkai energy fell like petals. In this scene, the immortal looked directly at the girl, whose strength was exhausted and whose steps were unsteady, and said:

"Yuno Sato, you are excellent."

"But without exerting all one's strength, one can never break free from the shackles that bind oneself."

As the girl slowly raised her head, her pupils trembling, she spoke, revealing the truth behind her training session that day.

"Use it, that power that resembles a Herrscher."

A pseudo-law enforcer.

This self-loathing and unchangeable fact has always held profound significance for Sato Yuno.

No more than ten people in the entire St. Freya knew about this, and among the faculty and staff, only Nishikujo Sara, Murata Himeko, and Theresa, the headmistress, knew.

Su Qing'an was the person involved, so naturally he couldn't hide it from her. As for the three girls who spent day and night with her, Sato Yuno also knew very well that some things couldn't be completely concealed.

The girls in Himeko's family all have secrets and pasts they don't want to talk about.

Perhaps, more than their own experiences and their pseudo-Herrscher identities, these women also have things they find difficult to talk about.

Yuno Sato can allow and accept that these people know, because the goodwill shown over time is genuine.

However, Sato Yuno, who had suffered repeated defeats against Fu Hua, with whom she was not particularly close and whose stance was not that of a mentor, found it difficult to remain calm after being bombarded with such information.

She straightened up; her armor was on the verge of destruction, a crisis that, from the Valkyrie's perspective, would be a death sentence in battle.

For Sato Yuno, it was like letting a wild beast break free of its shackles.

The third-generation Valkyrie armor will only make her weaker. This is the limit of the St. Freya Academy Equipment Department, and it is also the result Theresa wants to see. From the leader's point of view, it is not surprising that no matter how many layers of shackles and constraints are placed on Sato Yuno, who is a pseudo-Herrscher.

The emerald armor is constantly linked to the bomb inside her heart. When it is necessary to detonate the bomb, this armor will not be an aid to help her escape death, but an accomplice that will push her into the abyss.

Sato Yuno knew all of these things.

Theresa didn't hide anything, which is why, having understood everything, she instinctively felt aversion and dislike towards the Emerald Armor.

Even if reason can make it understand that doing so is justified, emotions are beyond one's control.

Therefore, unlike other Valkyries who treasure their armor, Sato Yuno is unable to unleash the full power of the Emerald.

She still harbors a childlike willfulness, but in the previous battle, Sato Yuno abandoned all of that.

All for the sake of defeating the one before me.

She unleashed the power of jade to a level that the designer could not have imagined when it was created, ignoring her inner resistance and unhappiness. The fundamental reason was simply that she did not want to be overtaken by the sense of powerlessness deep within her heart.

Sato Yuno harbors a demon within her, and every negative emotion she experiences nourishes and amplifies that demon.

She is very uneasy now.

But that's not all; the turbulent emotional vortex began to pry open the floodgates of memories.

The immortal who appeared invincible before her eyes gradually overlapped with the witch who had toyed with her fate that day, creating the same image.

kill her.

The color before my eyes was just as bright red as the day the boy's blood had overflowed.

The power went berserk involuntarily, and the girl's scalded skin was completely healed by the violently radiating Honkai energy fluctuations. Her tied-up purple hair fell loosely to the ground, with the ends floating slightly just before touching the surface.

It cannot go berserk, it cannot lose control.

Calm down, calm down!

She clenched her fists tightly, using her willpower to forcibly control her behavior.

Why? Was the power not sealed?

Even if the jade is ruined, the internal device should still slightly vibrate the heart after the power goes berserk, so as to make the person aware of the situation and suppress the power.

This was a backstab unlike anything she'd ever done before. Without being sealed, her level of vigilance and self-discipline were completely different.

But her unwavering will and inherent stubbornness prevented her from losing her composure, which allowed her to successfully maintain her clarity of mind and regain full control of her powers.

The crimson light in her vision faded, and she looked at Fu Hua, who was quietly waiting for her answer, and asked:

"Squad leader, how do you know this?"

"Why is the class monitor so strong? I've fought the headmaster, and an A-rank Valkyrie wouldn't be this strong."

Sato Yuno's powers would run rampant, which was within Fu Hua's expectations, but she was somewhat surprised and pleased that the other party was able to restrain herself and regain control.

This means that the desired outcome is not out of reach.

She gazed at the other person's face and answered softly:

Does it matter?

"Why didn't you choose Major Himeko or Principal Theresa, Sato? Perhaps many things are preordained."

"Actually, I've also wondered why I did this; it's not like me at all."

For a fleeting moment, the girl seemed to recall something, and a look of sorrow appeared on her face. But when she tried to trace the fragments of her memory, she could only find emptiness.

She suppressed the fleeting confusion that crossed her mind, stopped the conversation, and said calmly:

“It’s been a long time since I’ve taught others so earnestly.”

"So give it your all, Sato Yuno."

When the girl spoke those words, her pure and beautiful face, untouched by worldly affairs, changed. She looked like an immortal who had fallen from grace, with a faint sense of感慨 and sorrow.

What is most captivating is that profound loneliness and alienation that runs deep into one's bones.

Sato Yuno couldn't understand or empathize with everything the other person was going through, but for some reason, she suddenly felt as if she had seen a true part of the other person.

That was a scene different from Fu Hua's usual behavior in the outside world, and as soon as she realized this, her inner turmoil subsided considerably.

She said earnestly:

"Class monitor, please give me your guidance."

The moment the words fell, the core's dominant power radiated throughout the entire area, and countless bolts of destructive energy surged forth and roared like a raging torrent in the illusory space.

They surrounded Sato Yuno's body as if guarding a king's throne, and were then all sculpted into emerald-green armor.

This armor, modeled after jade, extends into an even more ferocious and beautiful form, signifying that Sato Yuno's Honkai energy shaping ability has taken another step forward.

Everything revives in this underground space, and the green forest spreads across the landscape in the blink of an eye, turning this place into the main stage.

Finally, the battle commenced with a scene of dozens of trees twisting into dragons, roaring and surging towards the immortals, serving as the battle clarion call.

Today, the pseudo-Herrscher and the immortals engage in a true, unseen duel.

112. The battle ended, the Xuanyuan Sword was drawn.
