As Yuno was about to land, she wrapped her vines around the Ferris wheel's support frame, swinging down and landing steadily. Luo Chen, who was one step behind her, didn't have such a fancy descent; his trajectory was a straight line, and he crashed into a large crater upon landing, displaying the demeanor of a destructive force of nature.

Amidst the swirling dust, Luo Chen stood in the pit, brushed the dust off his clothes, and gave You Nai a thumbs-up.

"Perfect landing."

Yuno retracted the vines. The large pit under Luo Chen's feet gave her a strange feeling. Even though Luo Chen had activated his armor, he didn't use the levitation function on it.

Seeing that Yuno had a question, but it would be too late if they didn't leave soon, Luo Chen grabbed Yuno's wrist and rushed towards the amusement park gate, muttering "Hurry up!"

"Ask any questions later, let's go to Qianyu Academy first."

Chapter 163 My driving skills are excellent, don't worry.

Due to the third Honkai outbreak, Luo Chen couldn't hail a taxi to the city center, and assassins were starting to appear on the streets. The two had no choice but to clear out the assassins while running as fast as they could.

"Wait a minute! I can easily find a car!"

Looking at the abandoned vehicles on the road, Luo Chen scolded himself for being so silly. He found a motorcycle with a key and waved to Yuno.

"Yuno, get in the car! I'll take you flying."

"no problem?"

Yuno was unsure about Luo Chen's driving skills, but given the urgency of the situation, this was the fastest way to reach Qianyu Academy.

Yuna straddled the motorcycle, wrapped her arms around Luo Chen's waist, and Luo Chen floored the accelerator and sped off, knocking over several assassins along the way, but fortunately they all managed to regain their footing without serious injury.

Yuna used vines to drag all the assassins and cars in front to the sides, clearing a path and greatly saving travel time.

The further they went, the more assassins they encountered, and the figures of Honkai Beasts began to appear in front of them. The road ahead was completely blocked. Luo Chen revealed a resolute expression, stepped on the gas pedal to the floor, and drove towards a raised plank on the side of the road.

"Luo Chen, what are you doing!"

Amid Yuno's exclamation, the motorcycle flew off the ramp and over the Honkai Beast. Luo Chen, not finding it exciting enough, lifted the front of the motorcycle and let out a joyful shout.

The car crashed into a Honkai Beast. In the instant it flew forward, Luo Chen jumped out, grabbed Yuno's waist with one hand, and did a beautiful somersault in the air before landing steadily.

"Luo Chen, you scared me to death!"

Yuno's heart was pounding wildly. She clutched her chest, unable to calm down for a while, and kicked Luo Chen in the shin.

"Isn't there no other way?"

Luo Chen laughed heartily. Seeing the Honkai Beasts approaching, he remained calm, knowing he had plenty of trump cards up his sleeve.

Taking out the Jizo Mitama, Luo Chen summoned Ling. Although he still couldn't fully control the Honkai energy, he had a substitute.

"Ling, can you do me a favor?"

A ball of flame appeared before Luo Chen, transforming into sparks that scattered and danced, burning away the Honkai Beasts at the forefront. The flames on the remains connected, erecting walls of fire on both sides of the road.

A pair of delicate hands rested on Luo Chen's shoulders. Ling appeared behind Luo Chen, her arms around his neck, and she looked at his profile with a smile.

"Luo Chen, who is this?"

Yuno had already prepared for a tough battle after withdrawing her Honkai energy, but she never expected Luo Chen to be able to bring in such an outside help.

"This is Ling, the Herrscher of Corruption from the previous civilization, and the spirit of Jizo Mitama."

"You're the spirit of the artifact! Big brother, you always like to joke around."

Ling floated off Luo Chen and landed in front of Yuno, extending her right hand to look at her in a friendly manner.

"Hello, big sister. Big brother is right. My name is Ling, and I am the Herrscher of Corruption."

"Ah, hello."

Yuno was a little surprised that the seemingly harmless little girl in front of her was actually a Herrscher, and judging from her performance just now, Ling's strength was particularly terrifying. This made Yuno wonder why Luo Chen hadn't called Ling out before.

Seeing Yuno's confusion, Luo Chen explained, "Rin won't take action unless it's a special situation, in order to prevent me from becoming a social outcast. Also, the time she spends outside the Jizo Mitama is limited. Most importantly, Rin's appearance consumes Honkai energy."

Yuno noticed the keyword "special period" and, considering that Luo Chen hadn't used Honkai energy before, she guessed that Luo Chen's body must be having problems.

"Is there something wrong with your health?"

Yuna grabbed Luo Chen's wrist and looked him in the eye. The gentleness on her face disappeared, replaced by seriousness and worry.

"No, absolutely not... Ouch! Yuno, be gentle!"

Luo Chen denied it outright, but Yuna gripped his wrist tightly and wouldn't let go, making him wince in pain and beg for mercy.

Normally Luo Chen would use his invisibility at this point, but now he was begging for mercy on the spot. The truth was very obvious in front of Yuno, and the worry on Yuno's face deepened.

"What exactly is going on with you? Tell me honestly."

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Luo Chen sighed deeply and said with a wry smile, "Actually, it's nothing serious, it's just that we can't use Honkai energy for the time being."

"why?"

Yuno let go. The inability to use Honkai energy meant that Luo Chen's ability to protect himself in dangerous areas had decreased. She couldn't be concerned about Luo Chen's condition all the time, so she now had to reassess the danger of going to Qianyu Academy.

"Well, how should I put it? Actually, when I rescued Kiana, I used some other means to temporarily enhance my power, and the backlash is what I am now. But don't worry, my control over Honkai energy is slowly recovering, it's just that the speed may be a bit slow."

Luo Chen shrugged. The side effects of the potion were gradually subsiding. He could feel that his perception of Honkai energy had become stronger, and his control over it was recovering, and he estimated that it would even increase.

All you ever do is act tough!

Yuna got angry, poked Luo Chen's head with a dark face, and started cursing him. Ling was so scared that she made up an excuse to clear the way and ran away, abandoning Luo Chen under his desperate gaze.

"Yuno, calm down..."

"How can you expect me to stay calm? You're always like this, constantly hurting yourself for the sake of others. Do you really enjoy playing the hero? Have you ever thought about yourself?"

Yuno shook off Luo Chen's outstretched hand. He hadn't told her this important matter; if something went wrong and she didn't have time to react, Luo Chen might get hurt. In severe cases, he might even die right in front of her—that was the last thing Yuno wanted to see.

Luo Chen lowered his head in remorse. He often acted without considering his own fate—saving Yuno, saving Kiana, he simply wanted to bring them back. As for himself, he didn't care; if he died, he died. He'd already lived two lives anyway.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't always be so stubborn."

"It's good to know."

Yuna understood that Luo Chen said those words, but whether he would actually do them was another matter entirely. But forcing Luo Chen to admit he was wrong would make Yuna feel a little better.

"I……"

Luo Chen wanted to speak, but Yuna put a finger to his lips, preventing him from speaking.

"No need to say anything, I understand."

Seeing that Yuno had calmed down, Rei stood on tiptoe, put her hands in front of her mouth, cupped them into a megaphone shape, and shouted that she had finished clearing the road.

Hearing Ling's call, Luo Chen responded and cautiously looked at Yuno, asking in a low voice, "Um, Yuno, Ling has finished her work, shall we go?"

"Okay, let's go."

Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If Yuno hadn't agreed to let him go, he would have had to put in a lot of effort to persuade her, and might still have failed. He was even more afraid if Yuno went alone, fearing that something might happen to her and he wouldn't know, in which case he would only have tears to shed.

Ling helped Luo Chen sweep all the way to the gates of Qianyu Academy, but her involvement afterward was minimal, and a third of the Honkai energy stored in her Jizo Mitsu Soul was consumed. Given the current situation, it was impossible for Luo Chen to recharge her, so Ling retreated back into her Jizo Mitsu Soul.

The two stood in front of the gate of Qianyu Academy. The gilded characters on the gate were charred black by lightning, and only half of one of them was still standing, looking very pitiful.

"I wonder if we're too late."

After passing through the gate and arriving at the foot of the teaching building, there were clearly more Honkai Beasts here than outside, and their strength was also a level higher.

Time is of the essence, and no one can be sure what the situation is like inside the teaching building. If they encounter Luo Chen and his group from this world, they will inevitably have to explain themselves, and the worst-case scenario is that they will have to fight.

In order to save time, Yuno launched her strongest attack. She stood with her hands in front of her chest, her fingers interlocked, and unleashed Honkai energy to generate vines.

The vines intertwined, their barbs hooking into the bodies of the Honkai Beasts and binding them to control their movements. Poisonous vines pierced through their surfaces, and soon the Honkai Beasts were hanging on the vines, barely alive.

"How's it going? Are you getting used to it?"

Yuna, like a student who has achieved good grades in an exam, tried to take credit from Luo Chen, hoping that he would praise her.

"not bad."

Yuno's move was taught by Luo Chen. Luo Chen used the Flower Tree World Descent as a template and modified it according to Yuno's actual situation. The final effect was just like that, and it looks quite powerful.

Where to go next?

Yuno habitually asked Luo Chen, who replied that he didn't know, then tapped Yuno's forehead and said softly, "You'll have to ask your Herrscher personality about that."

Chapter 164 The Harmless Little Lawyer

"You only think of me when it matters?"

Yuno Hai snatched the number directly, pushed Yuno down, and took control of the body herself, her dark green pupils revealing a mocking look.

"Aren't you the only one who knows what to do next?"

Luo Chen spoke to Hai Yuno naturally, like an old friend, which prompted Hai Yuno to tease him, "What, I stole your little girlfriend's body, aren't you angry?"

"You haven't done anything bad to her, so I have no reason to target you. Besides, aren't you Yuno too? What's wrong with coming out for some fresh air?"

"You seem to take things quite lightly, yet you used to test my existence."

Yuno Hai crossed her arms, and a clump of vines gathered behind her to form the shape of a chair. Yuno Hai sat down, crossed her legs, fiddled with her bangs, and said indifferently, "You humans are really fickle."

"You're acting like you're not human."

"Of course not, I am a Herrscher."
