"Don't worry, old friend." Otto circled his fist, patted Fu Hua's shoulder, and looked down at her. "I didn't mean to harm him. It was just an agreement with someone."

"I hope so."

Fu Hua withdrew her fist, slapped Otto's hand away, and continued walking forward, leaving the corridor.

Watching Fu Hua's silent back, Otto muttered to himself, "She's already weakened to this extent, is she still trying to be strong?"

"This reminds me of you from before. Back then, you were like an unshakeable god on the battlefield, even Kallen couldn't match you. Now your situation is truly miserable."

Otto went to a secluded spot, destroyed the Soul Steel body, and returned his consciousness to his main body in the office.

"Lord Otto, news has come from the R&D department that Moon Illusion has been manufactured."

As soon as his consciousness returned, Otto heard Amber reporting news and placing a pile of documents on the table.

Otto was both amused and exasperated by the mountain of documents on the table, but he calmly said, "Send someone to retrieve the armor and set it up. We'll test it again in a few days."

Chapter 72 Moon Illusion

A few days later, Luo Chen was summoned to the training ground by Otto, where a box as tall as a person was placed in front of him.

"Your Excellency, what do you need me for?"

"My friend, don't be so reserved."

Otto spoke in a tone that made Luo Chen uncomfortable, which greatly displeased him.

Seeing Luo Chen's expression, Otto was in a good mood. He clapped his hands, and a box next to him opened automatically, revealing a suit of armor inside.

The armor looks similar to Kevin's clothes, except that its outer jacket is pure black with white stripes, and it has armor on its right shoulder, as well as armor on its forearms and lower legs.

Next to the armor was a straight sword. Otto took the scabbard, drew the sword, and showed it to Luo Chen.

"This is the latest Godslayer Armor, named Strange Knight: Moon Illusion. And this is a sword specially made for you."

Otto handed the straight sword to Luo Chen, who took it without hesitation, drew it, looked at the patterns on it, and asked Otto, "Your Excellency, you've gone to so much trouble."

Based on the time he'd been in Destiny, there was absolutely no way Otto could have finished building the Godslayer Armor, so Luo Chen understood that Otto had been eyeing him for a long time. However, while caution was one thing, he'd been eyeing the Godslayer Armor for a long time, and now that it was being offered, what reason was there to refuse?

"That's good."

Otto gave Luo Chen a bracelet and explained, "This is a teleportation device. Activating it will teleport the armor to you."

Luo Chen put the bracelet on his left hand, clicked the button on it, and the armor in the box disappeared and appeared on Luo Chen's body.

The armor was the perfect size, and it was even men's clothing. Luo Chen was even more certain that Otto had taken notice of him earlier than he had expected, marveling at how terrifying Otto was.

Otto left the training ground, letting Luo Chen test the armor's performance before leaving Luo Chen to do as he pleased.

"Take off from Wuhu!"

Luo Chen flew around in the air above the training ground, enjoying the thrill of the wind, when he was suddenly knocked to the ground by an impact.

"Who!"

Luo Chen got up and started cursing, but then he saw Bianca wearing the Moon Soul outfit and carrying the Black Abyss White Flower. Without saying a word, she lunged at Luo Chen.

Luo Chen raised his sword and slashed diagonally, forcefully blocking Bianca's attack. He then kicked Black Abyss White Flower, simultaneously closing the distance between the two.

Bianca raised her lance and swept it horizontally. Luo Chen parried with his sword, and then she reached out to punch Luo Chen in the chest, but missed.

Luo Chen transformed into black smoke and reappeared ten meters away, sheathing his sword, raising his bow, and firing three arrows in one swift motion.

The arrow, trailing flames, shot towards Bianca, but she knocked it away with her lance. She then forcefully threw out the Black Abyss White Flower, interrupting Luo Chen's bow-drawing motion.

The ethereal transformation was still cooling down, so Luo Chen had no choice but to roll to the side to dodge, but Bianca had already come to meet him.

Luo Chen transformed the Jizo Soul into gauntlets and clashed with Bianca. Fist shadows constantly appeared between the two, and eventually, Luo Chen was caught off guard and took a punch, staggering backward.

Seeing this, Bianca pressed her advantage, but Luo Chen's Inch-Force Opening Heaven technique interrupted her advance.

"Use all your strength."

Luo Chen became interested and decided not to hold back anymore. The Corruption and the Honkai Energy of the Herrscher of Thunder appeared together, and a set of armor and lightning appeared on his body at the same time. He held the Jizo Soul in his hand and felt the blood in his body boiling.

Bianca was equally excited to see that Luo Chen was finally willing to use his strength. His body shone brightly, his armor transformed into the Undying Star Anchor, and he directly transformed into the [Star Armor] state.

Bianca used the power of the stars within her body to create two Star Abyss Ring Spears, and stood facing Luo Chen.

The next moment, the two of them turned into afterimages and reappeared when the longsword and the star spear collided, and the shockwave caused the trees in the distance to shake.

Bianca swung her other star spear at Luo Chen, but Luo Chen used Honkai energy to summon a hand that gripped it tightly, while his other hand held a flaming blade and slashed at Bianca.

Bianca used Honkai energy to blast the hand holding the Star Spear of the Demon Armor apart, released the other Star Spear, and with a full-force attack, shattered the remaining hand of the Demon Armor.

Bianca was caught off guard with the door wide open, and Luo Chen seized the opportunity to stab her with his knife.

Bianca, true to her S-rank Valkyrie status, displayed unparalleled reaction speed. She dissipated the Star Spear in her hand, then slammed her fist down, striking Luo Chen's blade precisely, causing his attack to point downwards. At the opportune moment, she kicked Luo Chen's wrist, dodging the Jizo Soul and throwing it away.

Having no other option, Luo Chen exchanged punches with Bianca again. The two fought for several rounds without a clear winner, showing that they were truly addicted to the fight.

Luo Chen dodged Bianca's punch by blurring his vision, then used a short-range strike to knock her back, simultaneously unleashing a lightning bolt.

Bianca produced a star spear and threw it to stop the lightning. Then, the power of the stars condensed into golden light, which, together with the armor on her waist, transformed into a celestial bow.

The Heavenly Bow appeared, and Bianca kicked it up, using her whole body as a support. She then pulled the bowstring with her hand, and a star spear within it transformed into an arrow, launching a strike at Luo Chen powerful enough to pierce through a star rainbow.

"This blow penetrates the stars!"

With Bianca's sharp cry, the Star Spear, carrying blazing flames, flew towards Luo Chen, as if to annihilate him on the spot.

Luo Chen, of course, could not do as he wished. He unleashed a burst of intense Honkai energy, and crimson bones appeared all over his body. An arm emerged from the top of the bones, holding a knife and slashing straight at the Star Spear.

The explosion swept across the training ground, and the flames were visible even to the Valkyries in the distance, who were all curious about what had happened.

After the explosion, Luo Chen's Susanoo shattered, and his armor gradually dissipated, leaving him lying on the ground panting without any regard for his appearance.

Although Bianca wasn't as disheveled as him, her pretty face was slightly flushed as she adjusted her breathing.

Bianca, your face!

Luo Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Bianca's disheveled appearance after the explosion. The next second, Bianca's foot appeared right above his groin. With just one kick, Luo Chen could say goodbye to his happy life.

Seeing Bianca's mischievous grin, Luo Chen wondered if she was possessed by a little devil; she wasn't usually like this.

Luo Chen quickly got up and helped Bianca tidy her wind-blown hair. After he finished, he wiped her face with his hand.

As his fingers touched the girl's soft face, Luo Chen's heart, which had just calmed down, was rekindled, and a strange feeling lingered in his mind.

At this moment, Luo Chen felt two little figures flying in front of him. One was advising him to be worthy of Mei, while the other was saying that he should treat everyone equally.

Luo Chen only withdrew his hand after Bianca finally spoke, feeling somewhat regretful that he could no longer touch her.

"Bianca, what happened to you all of a sudden? And you even started fighting with me?"

Only now did Luo Chen realize that something was wrong with the battle, and he looked at Bianca strangely, hoping for an explanation.

"The bishop told me that you were testing the new armor and needed a sparring partner."

Luo Chen understood that Otto was deliberately setting him up, but he couldn't find a reason to punish Otto, so he could only swallow his anger.

However, after his battle with Bianca, Luo Chen quickly became familiar with the armor, so it can be said that Otto's actions made some sense.

"Did you enjoy the fight?"

"If only you had used your full strength from the beginning."

Bianca nodded, very satisfied with the exhilarating battle, and couldn't wait to play another round.

"forgive me."

Luo Chen smiled bitterly and made a gesture of surrender: "I have no strength left."

"OK then."

Chapter 73 Assessment

The roar of the armed aircraft engines filled his ears as Luo Chen sat in the spot closest to the door, clutching his knife, waiting to parachute out.

The Valkyries around them were excitedly discussing how many Honkai Beasts they would have to eliminate on this mission, and everyone had a smile on their face.

"Attention all personnel, this is your first mission after becoming A-rank Valkyries, and also your probationary period assessment. The final evaluation of this mission will determine where you will go in the future, so do your best."

A notification sounded through the headset, and then the aircraft door opened, instantly flooding the cabin with strong winds that tousled the Valkyries' hair.

Luo Chen tucked the knife behind his waist, put on his goggles, and jumped out of the plane first.

High in the sky, Luo Chen surveyed the devastated city, searching for a place to settle down.

"He just jumped like that? Wasn't he afraid of dying?"

The Valkyries on the plane looked at Luo Chen alone, somewhat puzzled. Even A-rank Valkyries could perish on the battlefield if they weren't careful. Therefore, unless they were exceptionally strong, Valkyries usually fought in pairs.

"He's Lady Luo Meng's brother, after all, and he can fight Lady Durandal to a standstill, so there shouldn't be any problem."

Someone in the crowd raised an objection, and after thinking about it, everyone agreed that it made sense, so they simply ignored it.

The Valkyries set off in twos and threes, mostly choosing to land in the peripheral areas where Honkai energy was relatively scarce.

"Lord Kiyono, all the Valkyries have landed."

Inside headquarters, Kiyono Hatsuyuki, acting as an examiner, appeared in the command room, observing all the combat personnel.

"Continue to monitor everyone's movements."

In front of Kiyono Hatsuyuki was an electronic screen, the image of which was divided into many small sections, each showing the situation of a different person.

On the other side, Luo Chen deactivated the armor's levitation system and landed on a high-rise building not far from the center area, using the armor's built-in map function to observe his position.
