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

Effort that will definitely pay off is not hard work, but talent.

The boy walked alone in the pitch-black night for a very long time, and now he had grasped the scattered sparks of light. The talents that once made him despair and unwilling were now crushed under his feet with silent madness.

The inky black energy annihilated all the annoying, mosquito-like rush-class Honkai Beasts.

Su Qing'an calmly faced ahead. Even though the road conditions were occasionally obscured by a large amount of scattered building materials, Jianxin still provided all the necessary information like a navigation system.

The [momentum] pushed to its limit was so strong that the sword energy didn't even need to be used; the rushing-class Honkai Beast was already on the verge of collapse.

He's looking for someone.

Carol and Shigure Kira had both taken their own courses, so Su Qing'an understood that both of them possessed a constitution that would not be killed by the Honkai energy environment.

But among all the people I've seen in the entire academy, this is the only one with such qualifications.

Even if you include Sato Yuno and Fu Hua, there are only four of them.

If we include students we haven't met, this number might increase again, but it's unlikely to reach the number needed to form a class.

This is still in an aristocratic school that is almost entirely female.

If women, who are naturally more resistant to Honkai energy, only have this low survival rate, one can imagine how rare the survivors are in the entire Canghai City.

The harsh reality had been repeated a million times in his mind, but when it actually happened, the tragedy that had been repeated a million times still made the boy waver.

We must rescue Hana's friends and Sato Yuno.

This was the only way Su Qing'an could find solace in herself.

The months spent at the academy were not meaningless; at least, getting to know those students made Su Qing'an understand more deeply what the Honkai's war against humanity was.

Therefore, he must do everything in his power to salvage something in order to prove that he has not lost completely.

Su Qing'an couldn't confirm whether the two were still in the movie theater, but according to the information Fu Hua gave, the movie hadn't ended when the Honkai was sent, which meant that at least half an hour ago, they were still in the same place.

After initially calculating the walking distance of a normal woman, the boy repeated his initial method when searching for Seele, and began to continuously use [Momentum].

When they were only three kilometers away from the movie theater, Su Qing'an discovered something unusual.

The enormous noise created by the sports car would normally attract swarms of enemies, but the nearby Honkai Beasts and zombies vanished without a trace, and the deathly silence made the boy wonder what was going on.

Su Qing'an frowned and recklessly increased the output of Honkai energy.

Previous Honkai energy-assisted controls were all based on enhancing the performance of sports cars, but now the boy's demands for speed can no longer be met with such a gentle approach.

The sports car emitted a teeth-grinding roar, and the engine suddenly stopped working after a brief moment of violent rumbling.

Honkai energy extends like fine threads to every component, forming a dense network of branches. In this way, it domineeringly takes over all autonomy and increases the speed to an unprecedented limit.

Since it's not manipulating one's own body, the output and precision requirements of Honkai energy are far lower than those of [Thousand Stars].

This also means that we are far from reaching our limit.

The boy looked up at the familiar Honkai energy fluctuations.

It is of imperial rank.

A King-class Honkai Beast is getting incredibly close to his student.

Let's mess around a little.

Su Qing'an's gaze was slightly cool.

Let's try this time and see if he can get past this one second.

[Thousand Stars] Under extreme conditions, artificial stigmata are unleashed once again.

The boy's fingertips lightly traced a line.

Thus, the jet-black lines swept across the car window, cutting everything in two.

This sword strike precedes a breath and is faster than the sound of a falling note.

It swept over the building, cutting through any obstacles.

Silently, it separated the entire building from Ganesha's shell, and the beautiful, vibrant colors and the rising dust slowly fell together.

That's the blood of an Emperor-level Honkai Beast.

66. I can do what Fu Hua is determined to do.

Su Qing'an didn't seem particularly surprised by his achievement of killing Ganesha with a single sword strike.

Even though the death of this Emperor-level Honkai Beast represented a huge growth compared to the Changkong City era, these were things the boy had already expected.

With the full amplification of [Thousand Stars] and artificial holy marks, if he doesn't try burning his soul or use that backup plan, then this [Time Cut] is Su Qing'an's strongest attack at present.

This all-out approach from the start meant that Su Qing'an's battles were destined to end in a matter of seconds or even in a very short time.

If the battle continues to escalate under these circumstances, then it must be an opponent even more formidable than a normal Emperor-level opponent.

The silent sword energy granted the newly born Emperor-class Honkai Beast a peaceful death, and after splitting apart Ganesha's body, it dissipated most of its energy.

The remaining Honkai energy sword threads were transformed into a defensive sword stance under the boy's control. Dozens of dark-colored fish entwined around Shigure Kira and Carol, repelling all the collapsing building materials.

In an instant, the fish blended into one color, enveloping the two of them in a dark sphere.

Shigure Kira stared blankly at this bizarre scene, unable to comprehend what had happened.

The monster's claws vanished in the blink of an eye, replaced by the ink that evoked the scent of paper in a book.

"Hey hey!"

"Why did it suddenly fly up for no reason?!"

It was only after Carol exclaimed in surprise that she belatedly realized that the two of them had already ascended into the sky together.

Before Shiyu Qiluo could even cry out in fear, the mysterious sphere enveloping them slowly and gently fell to the ground.

"It's all over now."

The flowing ink blurred their vision, and a faint voice made the two girls, who were in a daze, look to their side.

An old sports car with a badly damaged front window was parked nearby, and through the window, one could see the boy's faint smile, as if offering comfort.

That familiar face gave Carol and Shigure Kira a strong sense of security at that moment.

So much so that the sudden relaxation of being away from the crisis left them sitting there dumbly in a duck-like position, as if they were completely exhausted.

Carol murmured:

"Were Qiluo and I saved by Teacher Su?"

What exactly happened outside?

She and Shiyu Qiluo looked around at the desolate mess, feeling somewhat lost.

The dark dust that gathered like clouds in the sky above indifferently announced the cruel answer.

……

……

After the Honkai energy dissipated, the engine and other parts took over the steel beast again, and the deafening roar once more echoed through the streets.

Because the little girl was still a bit shy, she sat in the front passenger seat.

Meanwhile, Shigure Kira, Carol, and Fu Hua sat in the back row.

Because all three of them are relatively slender and petite, the space does not feel crowded.

Carol's gloomy mood was overwhelmed by the previous ups and downs, and her intense curiosity and the presence of many familiar faces successfully overcame her gloom and sadness for the time being.

She asked quietly:

"So, Teacher Su knows martial arts?"

"And the kind that's really, really, really strong?"

Shi Yu Qiluo recalled her previous experience, her blue-green eyes sparkling, and she quickly nodded in affirmation:

"Teacher Su defeated that giant monster from an unknown distance and even cleaved the movie theater in two. That must be comic book-level martial arts."

Carol began to match the dots one by one from her extensive knowledge base, and she said with a confident expression:

“I understand. Teacher Su was actually from another civilization countless years ago. In that era, martial arts had reached their peak, just like human technology.”

"Then, Teacher Su reached the realm of martial arts immortality in that era, and gained the superpower of immortality and great strength."

Following Carol's train of thought, Shi Yu Qi Luo began to make up a story. She seriously opened her arms and drew a large circle, saying:

"Then maybe Teacher Su has lived for tens of thousands of years, and during this time he has been cultivating diligently in order to ascend to immortality."

Carol said it made perfect sense, and she said:

"When Teacher Su woke up, he found that the times had changed drastically. After that, he wandered in the wilderness and met Xiao Hua again."

"So Teacher Su stayed at Xiao Hua's house, absorbing the knowledge of modern civilization in preparation for using it to deepen her martial arts skills."

"Later on, in order to gain a deeper understanding of grassroots culture, he began to spend his time in places like schools as a teacher."

Fu Hua and Seele exchanged bewildered glances, completely unable to offer any effective rebuttal to this barrage of criticisms.

Su Qing'an's origins have always been shrouded in mystery, even though he openly claims to come from another world.

However, if we interpret it according to Carol's fabricated story...

The so-called previous civilization has undergone tremendous changes and is now a completely new world, which is strangely consistent with the past.

Completely unaware of Su Qing'an's background, Xi'er stared mischievously at the silent boy who gripped the steering wheel with one hand, a slight smile playing on her lips.

She actually knew the two older women sitting behind her.

Sister Qiluo sings a little badly, but she's a good person.

Carol, on the other hand, was a bit talkative, but she was a good person.

The little girl had similar, fixed impressions of everyone in the school.

In her mind, relationships are roughly divided into three categories.

Su Qing'an is the older brother and belongs to one group; Fu Hua is the older sister who is related to her and belongs to another group; and there is also a group of Sato Yuno.

She was an ordinary girl, and if we had to say something, she would probably be more deserving of the same kind of positive evaluation.

But for some inexplicable reason, Seele found her very pleasing to the eye.
