Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

If Bai Yan hadn't been able to hold back, their commotion would have attracted other people, and the consequences would have been far more serious than a failed mission.

Not only will they die, but their identities will also be exposed, and they will face various forms of retribution. Even Otto might not be able to protect himself...

Rita was not worried about losing control of the situation, because she didn't know that Bai Yan was secretly learning skills from other women behind her back, and with considerable success.

"Sister Ta didn't mess up this time, thanks to my superior skills. I'll make it up to her in the future!"

"I'll suffer in the House of Commons for now, and I'll take the blame in the House of Lords."

Burn all the drafts, soak them in water, and then throw them in the trash can, leaving no trace.

Here's another A4 sheet of paper.

"I can now stay in the hyperdimensional space for 80 minutes, and the Luo Shen transformation can be amplified by 80%."

"To convert it, that's... equivalent to 144 minutes."

He wrote down the number "144" on the paper.

Bai Yan has recently been trying to calculate his power using the time he spends in hyperdimensional space.

Multiplying this power by the amplification from the Luoshen Transformation gives one's combat strength.

While this doesn't include factors like combat skills, experience, luck, and the counter-mechanics between opponents, it can still be used as a reference.

"The last time I fought the Herrscher of the Void, it was 50 minutes and 60% health, which is equivalent to 80 minutes..."

Another number, "80," appeared on the paper.

"With a total growth of 80%, I can now speak based on my status and strength!"

Following the Singapore incident, Destiny began a full-scale search for the influence of Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent, and launched an attack against them.

At the same time, Otto also retrieved the Tranquility Gem in advance to prevent it from being coveted by enemies.

During this period, the collapse around the world was handled by the respective branches themselves, as headquarters needed to focus its efforts on dealing with Anti-Entropy and the World Serpent.

Bai Yan's fifth squad launched several attacks and performed reasonably well.

With the experience gained from that attack, the team finally started to cooperate smoothly.

Kiana passed the A-rank Valkyrie exam a month ago, and Theresa celebrated it, giving her niece more freedom, as she had promised.

In addition, the relationship between Shirohiko and Raiden Mei in the fifth squad has become complicated.

Kiana often hugs one of them on each side, looking quite content.

Ideally, there would be a pile of barbecue in front of you, so you could eat while having women on either side of you.

Bai Yan secretly observed whether the Herrscher of the Void was at risk of relapse.

Apart from noticing that Kiana looked a little rounder than before, there was nothing unusual.

Actually, the anomaly isn't a big problem. Bai Yan has become stronger, and the mere Lawful Transformation Insect is nothing special.

In addition, Bai Yan made a promise with Bronya that once the World Serpent and Anti-Entropy were both crippled by Destiny or too busy to care about anything else, the two of them would go to the Quantum Sea to rescue Seele.

"If we calculate it that way, the Herrscher of the Void I fought last time was probably at around 80% health, which is about the same as me back then."

"So let's assume that after she gets Conquest and Tranquility, her power level is 240, which is more than 60% stronger than mine now, enough to kill me instantly."

"Of course, given Celine's intelligence and personality, she might play for a while before snapping it up..."

"Still too weak, needs to train!"

Crumple the paper into a ball and toss it in an arc to land precisely in the wastebasket.

Bai Yan stood up, casually tied her hair into a single ponytail, and glanced at her newly applied light makeup.

"It's the weekend, and today... um, let's go to a coffee shop with Mei."

Today, Kiana Yiyue_Yi~ first release* didn't come to wake him up because she was out of town. Bai Yan probably rushed off to the supermarket to take advantage of the half-price sale for her period.

Go outside, turn left, and knock on the door.

Mei is not here.

"Hmm, what about the library?"

The library was empty, and Bai Yan was puzzled.

"That's strange... Mei?"

In front of the library, Mei seemed to be searching for something, and quickly went to greet Shirohiko when she saw him.

"Xiao Yan, have you seen Kiana? I haven't seen her since I woke up this morning, and the security guard said he didn't see her leave either."

Bai Yan asked, "Could it be that she's just acting on a whim and plans to disappear?"

"Maybe... or maybe she wanted to go shopping by herself today." Hearing Bai Yan say this, Mei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that what he said made a lot of sense.

Bai Yan then took her hand and said, "Want to go to a coffee shop? It's on me. Kiana will come looking for us when she gets back."

"Um, okay."

Cafe.

Raiden Mei glanced out the window for a while, then looked at Shirohiko, her expression gradually becoming more relaxed.

When she first met Bai Yan, she thought he would compete with her for Kiana, and they even had a conflict.

Later I realized I was overthinking it.

Bai Yan is a good friend, and he has a special feeling for Kiana, simply because he thinks she is warm-hearted and cute.

She could sense that Bai Yan actually liked looking at her with admiration.

Unlike the gazes she received at Senba Academy, Bai Yan's eyes gave her the feeling that "You're so handsome, let me look at you a few more times."

Raiden Mei sometimes wondered if Bai Yan hadn't realized that the latter was also quite amazing.

Otherwise, how could Xiao Yan completely ignore the gazes directed at her from outside the window?

"Xiao Yan".

"Ok?"

"Let me ask you a question: what type of person do you like?"

Bai Yan sipped his coffee, smacked his lips, and pondered for a while.

Then he said, "We clicked."

Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei couldn't help but smile wryly.

Bai Yan added, "Mei, you're not going to ask me if a square head is okay, are you?"

"Hahaha……"

Mei laughed heartily upon hearing this.

They're also very good at making people happy.

Unlike Kiana, Kiana is inherently quite amusing.

After finishing their coffee, the two strolled around, visiting the aquarium, amusement park, and even a movie theater.

Mei doesn't really like playing games, but she really enjoys this kind of activity.

By the time they returned to the academy, it was getting late.

"Kiana still hasn't returned?"

Both of them were somewhat surprised to receive Bronya's answer, who had spent the entire day holed up in her dorm.

"Is that silly Kiana lost track of time again while playing?"

It's normal for her to forget the time, but in the past, someone would always remind her and drag her back to school.

Otherwise, given her carefree and irresponsible nature, it's hard to imagine where she would lead people.

Bai Yan glanced at the time; it was already nine o'clock at night, which was indeed quite late.

Just as everyone was about to launch drones to search the entire city, Kiana suddenly appeared in the dormitory.

"Hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that?" The white-haired girl who entered with a flourish closed the door with a nonchalant expression, glanced at everyone, and asked with some confusion.

Volume 1: Chapter 66: Shocking Change

Raiden Mei stood up, slightly annoyed, and said, "Seriously, Kiana, where did you go? Everyone was worried about you!"

"Uh, hehehe, I'm so sorry everyone, I didn't realize the time, I'm so sorry..."

Kiana was slightly taken aback, then looked embarrassed, scratched her head, and admitted defeat.

She glanced at Bai Yan, then hurriedly went back into the room, muttering indistinct words like "take a bath, take a bath."

Raiden Mei and Shirohiko exchanged a glance, sighed, smiled bitterly, and shook their heads.

Soon, the sound of a shower came from the bathroom. Behind the curtains, Kiana's slender silhouette swayed in the light, and she occasionally let out a soft hum.

It sounds like a wonderfully pleasurable experience, as if this bath is more comfortable than ever before.

Bai Yan thought to himself that she might have gone a bit too far this time, and might have even followed a stray cat all the way, otherwise why would she be in such a hurry to take a bath?

It was getting late, so Bai Yan went back to his dorm first.

However, Kiana did not arrive tonight.

"She started putting on airs after passing the A-level exam. As expected of Kiana."

Bai Yan felt a slight sense of disdain in his heart before entering the hyperdimensional space ahead of schedule.

However, starting tonight, Jingliu is no longer in such a hurry to train himself. Instead, he teaches things like philosophy and psychology.

It was said that Bai Yan's Dao heart hadn't kept up with her swordsmanship, but Bai Yan suspected that she was actually quite satisfied with her own progress and was afraid that if she leveled up too quickly, her foundation would become unstable, so she slowed down her progress.

At first, Bai Yan was indeed learning swordsmanship with the mindset of self-preservation, but gradually, as his strength increased, his ambition also grew.

He had considered this point, after all, Jingliu had said that he had good talent and great potential.

The purpose for which a person wields their sword determines the path of a swordsman.

Jingliu mentioned this point, but didn't offer many suggestions or ideas.

This approach may be intended to encourage Bai Yan to follow his own path, rather than relying on the will of others.

Of course, there is another possibility: Jingliu has realized that Bai Yan has already found his own path, but Bai Yan may not even have realized it himself.

After it became possible to bring items into the hyperdimensional space, Bai Yan would often bring alcohol in.

The rules regarding items that can be brought into the home are rather subtle.

After repeated testing, Bai Yan came to several conclusions:

First, it is limited to one item that you can lift yourself; the standards are basically the same as those for weightlifting.

Secondly, multiple items placed in the same container can be counted as one item, but the container must be completely sealed.

Finally, it cannot be a living creature, otherwise it will be left outside.

An uneventful day passed, but on the second day, a small incident made Bai Yan wary.

"Huh? This isn't history class?"

"Yes, why is it Himeko?"

The students whispered among themselves, and when they saw that it was this teacher with bright red, wavy hair who didn't look very reliable, they felt that something was wrong today.

History class is very relaxing because what we learn isn't life-or-death...

"Quiet!"

Himeko tapped the blackboard.

"The history teacher is on sick leave, so I will be filling in for him from now on."

"Ugh……"

"It's over."

Himeko's forehead creased with a "#", and she narrowed her eyes, ready to give the Valkyrie who had just complained a hard time.

The sounds from the classroom gradually faded from Bai Yan's ears, replaced by an inescapable sense of contemplation.

"What is Walter doing? Is he getting the Moon Throne ahead of schedule?"
