Chapter 531: There Should Be Storyboards Here

"The fist is very powerful."

"The shooting is very accurate."

"The footwork is very sharp."

"The attacks are deadly and precise, the control is perfect, it’s all very satisfactory…"

"Come back tomorrow."

Snap, after the sound of snapping fingers.

Sasha returned to her position in the hall, holding a long spear in her hand, looking around with a confused mind.

How annoying… he slipped away.

She looked at the time and just finished a battle that lasted over thirty minutes. It’s quite impressive that she can hold on for thirty minutes against her opponents.

Half an hour is just a simple warm-up for her, she didn’t even break a sweat.

But her opponent was in a very difficult situation, facing danger from all sides.

Even if she didn’t need to use any special techniques, just using her shooting skills, she had an unbeatable advantage.

Now back in reality, Sasha carefully recalls and understands what the other party’s intentions were.

"Are you trying to use me as a whetstone?"

"Hmph… Young people overestimate themselves."

Sasha sneered. Her strength was forged in countless life and death battles. If she were to lose, she might as well break her weapon to pieces and eat it.

In the past, there were people who tried to use her as a stepping stone, but Sasha was never someone who took care of juniors. She had a high status, but she didn’t like relying on her seniority. She only liked winning people over with her virtues, the virtues earned through battles.

Most people who try to take her place often end up failing and getting kicked down by her. They usually end up getting badly hurt and in the end, their confidence crumbles. As a result, no one dares to challenge her anymore.

Many skilled experts who have been famous for a long time are not afraid of competing with others at their level. They know each other well, and winning or losing is expected. However, they are afraid of being challenged by rising rookies because these rookies can use unpredictable moves. It’s easy for them to fail miserably, like some rookie clubs that start off strong but become average after a season or two. It’s the same principle.

A wild punch can knock down even a skilled master, so wise masters never engage in fights.

Although being used as a punching bag is entirely unpleasant, Sasha has to admit that she feels much better now. She had a punching bag brought to her and she beat it for half an hour. It remained firm and polite, never uttering a bad word, just constantly demanding to be hit harder or asking for a muscle massage. It made her feel like she was young again, and hearing those words made her fists even stronger.

After suffering a loss, most people would give up and say the experience was good and they’ll come back next time. Either they are just pretending or they are very tough individuals hoping that by beating the other person, they will have a sudden realization. But that’s not very realistic.

Sasha put away her weapon and walked to her room, preparing to rest. She had used up a lot of energy and initially thought of going back to sleep. However, after such intense exercise, she realized she could have a late night snack. As for tomorrow, if someone dares to challenge her again, she will only strike even harder than today. Whether she beats them to death or not, she will fight to the end.

…

"*cough cough cough…*"

Bai Wei was hugging the toilet and coughing up blood.

At the same time, use a sword to cut the wound and let out some dead blood, remove a part of the flesh.

These are all special effects that come with Sasha’s weapons. Every time she attacks, she randomly obtains one of the effects such as ‘decay’, ‘poison’, ‘tearing’, ‘bleeding’, or ‘infection’. These negative enhancements may not seem serious, but when there are many of them, they can create an avalanche effect.

Bai Wei knew in advance, so it’s okay to deal with it afterwards. It doesn’t feel good to scrape the flesh, but luckily they are only external wounds. With the recovery ability of a master martial artist, they will be able to regain their mobility tomorrow.

"You really hit hard… She has become much stronger than before."

Bai Wei bandaged himself and applied some medicine, lying on the bed to regain strength at the same time as sighing.

Time really can change a person, memories and reality have long been separated by many years.

He doesn’t feel nostalgic, instead, he thinks this is a good thing. If there is no change, it would be being trapped in the past.

His gaze fell on his own information panel. After half an hour of fighting with Sasha, his swordsmanship level has increased to forty-eight.

The effect is not only there, but also substantial. After all, this is a fight for life and death, a slight carelessness can cost one’s life.

If she found out the truth, she wouldn’t be so decisive, the fierceness in her would decrease, the intent to kill would fade, and the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.

"Only two more days."

Within two days, break through to level fifty… Only by reaching level fifty or higher, can you possibly defeat Tie Futu.

Let’s consider what comes after this later, let’s focus on getting through this hurdle first.

Bai Wei closed his eyes, gathering his strength, "Don’t worry, there’s still time."

…

"It’s too late."

"You don’t even have time to regret."

"You should know, from the very beginning, coming back was a mistake."

Under the willow tree, the familiar lady sipped her drink and showed a gentle smile.

Chao Lu stood in the courtyard, knowing she was dreaming.

Once again, she dreamed of being here.

She looked at the young-looking lady with white hair under the willow tree. Despite appearing young, she also seemed old.

"Liu Xiaowan," whispered Chao Lu. "Why did I come back here?"

"You came back on your own. Why are you asking me? How would I know?" Liu Xiaowan rested her chin on her hands.

"But you were just mocking me."

"Yes, I was mocking you. Mocking you for making the same mistake as him… Putting the country’s interests before love, right?" Liu Xiaowan recited, "In my lifetime, I have pledged to the nation, never again to you."

"No," Chao Lu shook her head.

"Have you figured it out now?"

"I have figured it out," said Chao Lu.

"But why don’t you turn back? Are you giving yourself a chance to give up or searching for a reason to forgive your own incompetence?" Liu Xiaowan asked, "Take a look at yourself now, see what you might end up doing… What have you gained and lost on this journey? Have you lost more or gained more? No… You haven’t gained anything at all, and you’re close to losing everything."

Chao Lu, in pain, lowered her head and clenched her fingertips until they turned pale. She endured and accepted the harsh criticism and self-blame within her heart.

Chao Lu’s chin was lifted, forcing her to stare into Liu Xiaowan’s eyes and face. It felt both unfamiliar and familiar to her.

Liu Xiaowan said, "If you die here, he will be sad for you, shed tears for you, and suffer from his own helplessness. But all of these will have nothing to do with you because the dead cannot possess anything. Those joys are meant for the living… If you die, the space you left behind will be filled by the living. Even though the dead will always be invincible, permanently occupying a corner, they cannot hold on to the living who are still alive. He will marry another woman, have children with her or others, and enjoy a blissful and fulfilling life… Think about that Bi Fang, she might truly take your place, replacing your existence, and you will only be remembered on certain nights, brewing into a bitter drink. Someone might cherish the memory, but that’s all. You haven’t left behind any beautiful memories, remember… not even a tiny bit of beauty!"

She asked quietly, "So, are you willing?"

Chao Lu, with her chin held by Liu Xiaowan, heard these words, and her heart burned like fire. She grabbed Liu Xiaowan’s wrist and said, "How could I possibly be willing?"

Liu Xiaowan’s wrist, which was grabbed, bore deep marks, as if it was burning with a pale flame.

She let go of her fingertips and lightly stepped around Chao Lu as she walked and spun. "So, do you regret it now?"

Chao Lu gritted her teeth. "What’s the use of regret? I… have regretted countless times… but still, I can’t do anything, I can only watch myself and those I love fall into the abyss step by step!"

Liu Xiaowan smiled brightly. "How pitiful… Look at yourself."

With a radiant smile, she and the teary-eyed Chao Lu formed a stark contrast, like two incompatible flowers – one laughing, one crying.

Liu Xiaowan floated closer and gently lifted her face with her fingers. "Don’t lower your head, the crown will fall."

Her fingertips brushed the woman’s eye corner, wiping away the faint tears. "Don’t cry, villains will laugh."

The voice of the demon emperor was gentle, but it seemed to echo on the edge of the abyss.

"Regret is the most useless thing, but it’s still not too late to remember the lesson."

"Don’t repeat the same mistakes, don’t torment each other. The most foolish thing for a woman is to be furious with others, whether it’s with someone else or with herself."

"Let me teach you something, something really… good."

…

"My dragon ball… Did I forget something?… My name… How did I end up like this…"

"Who are you? Get out, roll out of my body!!"

Yubing woke up from her sleep, her forehead covered in cold sweat… Another nightmare.

With no one else to rely on, she could only grab onto her own clothes, gently embracing her tail, and murmuring in fear.
