The competition ended with Chen Xuewei's defeat.
Sparring was originally just an auxiliary tool for masters to teach.
However, when the competition ended, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Xuewei and Li Yuxuan, not the master who was teaching.
A D-class superpower almost hit an S-class, and even blocked or dodged a few times.
All of this is under the control of Li Yuxuan.
During the competition, every word he said was thought-provoking.
However, what is really important is that the swordsmanship taught by Li Yuxuan is also effective for those who are stronger than himself.
"What the hell..."
Ye Lun sat alone in a corner of the hotel restaurant, quietly tasting the wine.
After every sword discussion conference, there will be a grand party.
This year, all the experts gathered at the restaurant in the "JS Hotel" in Jiang City. This hotel was built less than three years ago.
During this period, Li Yuxuan and Song Jialin left quietly, claiming to have other arrangements.
So Ye Lun no longer needed to see them, although his heart was still heavy.
Yellen knew it.
In fact, after the sword discussion, the masters gave Li Yuxuan gifts or exchanged contact information one after another because they saw his potential.
But at this moment, these are no longer important to Yellen.
"...Is there anything wrong with these charms?"
All four charms looked intact.
However, something went wrong with the charms of strength, speed, and guidance.
These features have not been activated properly for some time.
Although the air pockets and friction reduction functions are helpful to Yellen, his physical strength can only reach B level at best.
"What bad luck. The charm failed at the most inopportune time...I'll have to get in touch again."
Thinking of this, Ye Lun held his wrist.
Recently, the pain has started to bother him again.
He had started taking painkillers intermittently a few years ago, but when the spell wore off, the pain became more severe.
It was like the pain that had been suppressed suddenly burst out.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he kept massaging his wrists.
suddenly--
Buzz! !
"This, what is this!"
The hotel building shook violently.
Whoops! Whoops!
[The portal appears! 】
[The portal appears! 】
[The general public is requested to comply with evacuation procedures immediately. 】
"Hey, what's going on?"
"At this juncture..."
While this is less common now, in the past it was commonplace.
Usually, the emergence of portals and copies is known in advance by the only "prophet" on Blue Star, but this time, a portal appeared unexpectedly.
[The portal has been determined to be Class A and is located on the roof of JS Hotel. 】
[Emergency support teams are on the way, please stay calm and evacuate quickly. 】
"The roof of this building?"
"We have to evacuate quickly."
As the crowd dispersed in panic, Ye Lun also stood up.
It was too difficult for him to conquer the A-level gate, and he didn't know if his spell would work.
But his hesitation was not understood by those around him.
"Hunter Yellen!"
A middle-aged official, wearing a suit and several waiters, hurried towards Ye Lun.
"Hunter Yellen, if you don't mind, can you go to the top of the building and block the door? It will take some time for reinforcements to arrive. Your joining is very important to us."
"…Um."
The portal is on the top of the building, but the monsters will most likely come down, destroying the building in the process.
It will be some time before reinforcements and other emergency response teams arrive.
But S-class hunter Ye Lun may be able to temporarily block it.
"Um."
"Fortunately, Hunter Yellen is here."
"This will put your mind at ease."
Yellen, however, could not echo their sentiments.
He couldn't help but think, what is the reason for all this?
Is it because of his misfortune?
Is it because of the bad weather?
He didn't know.
The only thing that was certain was that he couldn't refuse the situation.
"Ha...haha. Of course, I will go."
As he said this, he clenched his fists and quickly prepared for battle with the magic equipment around him.
Although its defense is not as powerful as the third-level magic suit, this equipment is easy to wear and carry.
It is worth millions and is known as "named" equipment.
Ye Lun held a magic sword that also reached the named level in his hand, and finally set foot on the road to the roof. His figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Gurgling.
The sound of destruction and destruction has spread everywhere.
Accompanied by people screaming in terror.
Ye Lun guessed that the people on the roof must be being attacked by monsters.
But he was unable to go to the rescue.
Without the talisman, his strength is limited to B level.
Facing the A-level portal, he was undoubtedly seeking death.
"This...this is impossible. I can't do this."
Once he opens the door, he is greeted by the roof.
However, Yellen could not open it.
It is better to lose your dignity than to lose your life.
"Yeah, let's run away now."
Just when Ye Lun was about to turn around and flee.
"We're here to help too, Hunter Yellen."
"…What?"
He was surprised to find a group of swordsman masters standing in front of him, each of whom was equipped with magic equipment.
……How is this going? These masters.
In other words, they are ordinary people.
He didn't know where these people got the magic equipment to deal with emergencies, but this portal was not something ordinary people could deal with.
"Everyone, you are looking for death! This is simply suicide!"
"We know the risks. But innocent people are dying. Although we don't have superpowers, we have lived by swords all our lives. We may be able to fight off the monsters until reinforcements arrive."
After speaking, these masters took the lead in opening the door and walked out without hesitation.
Ye Lun smiled bitterly and shook his head, then lowered his head.
Their physical strength is obviously only F level.
Still, they struggled against an apparently invincible enemy.
"So what if it's B-class or S-class."
Ye Lun suddenly recalled what Song Jialin said to him.
"Just because he is F-level, does his value only mean F-level?"
At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of that sentence.
As a B-level hunter, he was about to do something terrible, but the A-level portal in front of him made him feel desperate.
But Li Yuxuan, an F-level person, has survived on the battlefield for 15 years.
He looked up at the sky again.
From his wrists to his whole body, everything was filled with pain, and even the power of the spell seemed to have disappeared.
...but he is still a hunter.
"Damn...this is a really bad day..."
Yellen muttered under his breath and lunged for the door to the roof.
Although his power has weakened, his eyes reveal an unprecedented firmness and S-class aura.
the next day.
Li Yuxuan woke up with a severe headache, turned around and felt a sudden weight on his arm.
Song Jialin rolled up the blanket, hugged his arms tightly with her arms, and fell asleep quietly.
They were both in bad shape due to last night's alcohol.
Li Yuxuan picked up the phone and found several calls from hunters and sword masters.
Mainly because I wanted to ask him to have dinner together again.
[Li Junxi: Do you have time to have dinner together next time? 】
There is also a missed call from Li Junxi.
Li Yuxuan couldn't help but wonder why this man was so interested in him.
Before he left yesterday, the other party invited him to have a barbecue together, but he declined.
[Chen Xuewei: Thank you very much for yesterday. 】
Li Yuxuan immediately replied to Chen Xuewei's message.
[Li Yuxuan: Well done. 】
He also benefited a lot from it, it was a win-win deal.
Hiding behind the Chen family should be able to prevent the "Pegasus Guild" from posing a threat to him for a period of time.
He may stay there temporarily until he can establish his own power.
After struggling to move Song Jialin's arm away, Li Yuxuan walked to the old TV and turned on the news.
It has become his habit to turn on the news or variety shows in the morning as a way to tune out the noise around him.
【Big news. At about 7 o'clock last night, an abnormal A-level portal suddenly appeared on the roof of JS Hotel. 】
"Um?"
When it came to JS Hotel, Li Yuxuan knew that the security there must be the responsibility of the experts there.
He became curious, and as the news played, his interest grew.
[Thanks to the on-site swordsman master and S-class hunter who worked together to seal the portal, and the timely arrival of reinforcements, casualties were avoided. 】
[S-class hunter "Yelen" said that without the assistance of experts, he would not have been able to protect civilians so successfully...]
"oh?"
Yellen is not someone who will help easily.
Has he changed?
This surprised Li Yuxuan.
"Regardless, this could be a disaster."
Ye Lun's condition seemed serious. Li Yuxuan had stopped using his magic weapon, but he didn't expect that a door would appear there.
However, even if the artifacts were properly activated at the time, it's unclear whether Yellen would still be able to cast the spells within them.
Yellen's body had already endured too much that day.
If you use that broken body to use some magic weapons...
It may trigger some unknown changes.
"Hey."
"……Um."
"Want some ramen?"
"blessing……"
What is she saying?
It seemed that the hangover had such an impact that Song Jialin found it difficult to speak normally.
Li Yuxuan walked quietly to the sink.
He planned to make ramen for breakfast, and then contact the returnee from another world he met before during lunch to learn more about the "martial arts".
In the afternoon, he planned to study magic.
He learned a lot from Yellen.
However, just as Li Yuxuan had made such a plan, the plants in the storage space suddenly made a cry.
[Witch...Witch. 】
"What?"
Li Yuxuan quickly took out the flower pot from the storage space and found that it was shriveled and shaking.
【it hurts…】
"it hurts?"
【Um. I'm tired…】
Think about it, the flower pot itself is also limited.
After all, this is the modern world, so Li Yuxuan had no choice but to create a temporary environment using magic crystals and materials from other worlds.
He must take appropriate measures.
"Damn, how do I fix this?"
The White Witch's library only mentions "ideal circumstances" but does not explain how to deal with such a situation.
The library is just an information retrieval tool.
However, systems familiar with this knowledge were quick to give advice.
[Move it to an environment with sufficient spell energy to allow the soul to breathe. 】
[Exposure to psychotropic substances can improve mental conditions. 】
“…These are all good suggestions.”
That sounds great, but there's just too much to deal with on Blue Star.
Returners from other worlds, the possible existence of unknown mages, and the swordsmanship he created to attract masters.
None of that was settled, and he needed more power.
In order to gain power, he must hunt the protagonist as he did in the past.
"How bad is it?"
【Very……】
First of all, Silver Spirit Flower comes from another world.
It is not suitable for modern environments, so even if Li Yuxuan hides it in the storage space as much as possible, there are still limitations.
He wonders if the flower will grow into an elf, as it is now too fragile to survive.
"Give me a to-do list."
In order to relieve his hangover, Li Yuxuan prepared magic equipment while cooking ramen.
Sure enough, when he checked the task list, he found that there were countless tasks waiting for him to complete.
Come and think about it.
No matter where you are, if you want to get high-quality spiritual materials, places related to spells should be the best choice.
[Don’t choose the human world. 】
[A world where there are races that go against common sense and can provide a better environment for souls. 】
"How to say?"
[Most of the worlds you have visited so far are similar to Blue Star. 】
[But remember, there are many worlds where this is not the case. 】
This means that some worlds have very different environments than Blue Star.
"Um……"
There are definitely more interesting things in such a world than in the world of ordinary mages.
【I'm about to suffocate. help me…】
"Hang in there. I'm looking for a good place now."
【about to die……】
"You're not going to die."
【You will die in my place...】
"Why do you want to turn this around?"
In the task list of "System World", Li Yuxuan discovered a particularly eye-catching world.
The protagonist in this world is level 61.
"Morning Elves Don't Chase Dreams"
[Tags: Fantasy, Dreamland, Strategy, Split, Forbidden Love]
The labels seem a little strange... Dreams, Forbidden Love, Strategy and Schism?
Li Yuxuan quickly picked up his phone and changed the status of the communication tool.
He was ready to leave and decided not to contact anyone again.
Although this was somewhat convenient, he still had many things to explain to other people.
"Song Jialin, eat some ramen, I have to leave for a while."
Song Jialin suddenly stood up, walked to him, and grabbed his arm tightly.
"...So, are you going to a strange place?"
Song Jialin asked with her eyes wide open, her tone sounded like she was not yet fully awake.
Having known her for fifteen years, Li Yuxuan could easily tell her state.
"This is urgent."
"...Do you really want to go?"
"Yes."
"All right…"
After hearing his answer, Song Jialin lay back on the floor.
Li Yuxuan felt worried for some reason.
This strange feeling made him feel uncomfortable.
He placed the ramen next to her and continued talking to the system.
"let's go."
[Go to Neverland, the world of level 61 protagonist Haniel. 】
