As a symbiotic being, I raise children amidst the chaos.

"I hit it! I actually hit it!" At that moment, Kiana felt an indescribable joy welling up inside her. Her previously tense face instantly blossomed into an excited smile as she exclaimed, "Great! I finally hit it!"

However, Kiana's joy didn't last long. Although her punch had indeed landed on Bianca, the latter hadn't lost her balance.

On the contrary, Bianca reacted extremely quickly. She used her other free left hand to firmly grab Kiana's attacking fist and then gently twisted it.

In an instant, a piercing pain shot through Kiana's wrist, as if her bones were about to break, causing her to gasp in shock.

"In the heat of battle, even the slightest lapse in concentration can have dire consequences! So never become complacent because of a temporary victory!"

Feeling the sharp pain shooting through her wrist, Kiana gritted her teeth, forcing herself not to cry out. Knowing she couldn't show weakness now, she struggled with all her might to break free from Bianca's grasp. After a difficult struggle, Kiana finally managed to break free of her opponent's control.

Immediately afterward, she didn't dare to delay for a moment, quickly stepping back to create distance between herself and Bianca, while simultaneously clenching her fists in front of her chest and readjusting her fighting stance.

"Hmph, I won't be smug about something so trivial!" Kiana took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She clenched her fists, bowed slightly, and assumed a ready-to-fight stance, shouting, "The real battle is only just beginning!"

Hearing Kiana's spirited words, Bianca smiled slightly and nodded gently, her eyes filled with admiration. "Not bad, Kiana, you've indeed made great progress recently. However, I'm about to use some of my real skills, and I hope you can keep up with my pace."

Just as Bianca finished speaking, her figure vanished from the spot like a ghost. The next second, a gust of wind howled past, and Bianca charged towards Kiana at an astonishing speed.

This attack was far more ferocious and ruthless than before. Not only was it so fast that it was almost impossible to catch its tracks, but its movements also became more agile, unpredictable, and elusive.

Faced with such a sudden attack, Kiana was stunned for a moment. If the previous exchange was merely at the level of a baby in the game, then Bianca's current display was at an easy level.

However, even something as seemingly simple as this is enough to put Kiana under immense pressure and make her feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Just then, Bianca's long left leg suddenly strode forward. Kiana, standing opposite her, instinctively raised her right arm high, preparing to defend against any potential attack.

However, unexpectedly, Bianca's left foot was just a feint. Before Kiana could even react, she nimbly spun around.

The left foot, which had been stepping forward, was quickly retracted, followed by a powerful kick from the right foot, as fast and powerful as a storm! The target of this kick was Kiana's unsuspecting abdomen.

Kiana's reaction was lightning fast. After realizing Bianca's intention, she quickly dodged to the left. At the same time, her right hand tried to grab Bianca's rushing ankle.

However, Bianca was no ordinary person. Her reaction was equally swift. Just as Kiana's hand was about to touch her ankle, her right foot suddenly spun in the air, instantly transforming into a powerful spinning kick that struck Kiana's head with lightning speed.

Faced with such a sudden change, Kiana had no time to take any further action. In a split second, she could only quickly lower her head, pressing it down to the safest position possible.

At the same time, his hands swiftly changed from a grasping motion to a palm shape in the blink of an eye, and without hesitation, he slammed them hard against Bianca's instep.

Bianca clearly hadn't anticipated Kiana's reaction. Seeing her instep about to be struck, she immediately retracted her right foot. Her left leg, however, swept out with a sharp gust of wind, striking directly at Kiana's supporting leg.

Kiana felt as if her left leg was being crushed by a thousand-pound weight, and suddenly she lost her balance. Gritting her teeth, she pushed off the ground with her right foot, using the reaction force to spin rapidly through the air like a top.

Then, the instant she landed firmly, she immediately launched a counterattack without hesitation. Her hands moved like a storm, rapidly attacking Bianca's chest and abdomen.

"Not bad, not bad. Miss Kiana, you're really getting better and better at fighting." Bianca watched Kiana's fluid and graceful attack movements, a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

However, although Bianca highly recognizes Kiana's talent, this doesn't mean the duel will end there. After all, the real battle has only just begun.

Kiana, like a fierce little lion, unleashed two punches in quick succession, the wind whistling as they hurtled towards Bianca with a sharp and aggressive aura. However, Bianca seemed to be handling the situation with ease.

Bianca deftly shifted left and right, easily dodging Kiana's first two attacks. When Kiana threw her third punch, Bianca's lips curled into a slight smile. As if she had planned it all along, she deliberately slowed down her dodge, allowing Kiana's fist to barely graz her arm.

Just as Kiana thought she was about to succeed and was preparing to press her advantage, Bianca suddenly launched a counterattack, closing in on Kiana.

Then, with lightning speed, he reached out with his left hand and grabbed Kiana's right wrist with perfect accuracy, twisting it forcefully.

At the same time, Bianca bent her left leg and pushed off suddenly, the powerful force directly hitting Kiana, causing her to lose her balance instantly.

"It's over!!" With Bianca's sharp shout, Kiana felt an irresistible force strike her, and she was involuntarily sent flying backward. Her body traced a graceful arc in the air before crashing heavily to the ground like a falling meteor.

Upon landing, Kiana felt dizzy and her heart pounded as if it would jump out of her throat. A buzzing sound filled her ears, like countless bees swirling around her, and for a moment she couldn't tell which way was which.

The next moment, Bianca's clenched fist was clearly reflected in her bright eyes, as if indicating that the outcome of the contest was already decided.

In the next instant, a muffled bang, like a thunderclap, exploded in Kiana's ears, startling her completely.

Immediately following, a powerful impact struck, and Kiana felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away in an instant.

The powerful shockwave spread rapidly from her back throughout her body like a surging tide. Kiana even had the illusion that the ground beneath her feet, and indeed the entire world, was trembling violently because of Bianca.

"Damn it, it's not over yet!" Despite her extreme weakness, Kiana's spirit remained defiant. She gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain and exhaustion.

With the last ounce of strength in her body, Kiana struggled to prop herself up on her elbows, trying to stand. However, after only a moment, she collapsed to the ground again, utterly exhausted. Kiana was now at her limit, unable to make any further movements.

Bianca, who had been silently observing Kiana's every move, stepped forward upon seeing this. She bent slightly, extended her right hand, and spoke gently.

"Alright, Ms. Kiana, let's call it a day. I must admit, the progress you've made over this period of time has been quite remarkable."

Hearing Bianca's words, Kiana stubbornly raised her head, glared at her fiercely, and then loudly retorted, "Hmph, I don't need you to remind me! I know perfectly well what I'm doing."

After saying this, Kiana grabbed Bianca's outstretched right hand and, with her help, managed to stand up.

After regaining her footing, she gently brushed the dust off her clothes, then looked resolutely into the distance. "Just wait and see, next time we fight, I will be even stronger!"

In Himeko's dormitory, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes. He first turned to look at Theresa, who was immersed in a sweet dream beside him. Theresa's delicate face still had a trace of drool on it, making her look extremely adorable.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan's lips involuntarily curved upwards, forming a gentle smile full of doting affection. "So adorable, my dear little Theresa~"

Chen Yuan murmured softly, afraid of waking the little sprite who was fast asleep. Then, he carefully extended a symbiote and gently wiped away the drool stains on Theresa's cheek.

After doing all this, Chen Yuan stretched out a big yawn with satisfaction, and then his whole body instantly turned into a puddle of liquid, slowly sliding off the comfortable bed.

After landing, Chen Yuan moved towards the door like a snail, his movements incredibly slow. However, just as he was a few steps away from the door, a crisp "click" sound suddenly rang out.

Before Chen Yuan could even wonder what was going on, the tightly closed door opened by itself without warning! The next second, a beautiful figure came into Chen Yuan's view.

It turned out to be Rita, dressed in an exquisite maid outfit. At this moment, she was holding a thin wire in her hand and stood calmly at the door.

When Rita saw Chen Yuan lying limp on the ground like a pile of mud, she showed no surprise whatsoever. Instead, she calmly and quickly tucked the wire in her hand into her ample bosom.

Then, she gracefully knelt down, extending a slender, long index finger and gently touching Chen Yuan's limp body. "Good morning, Your Highness~"

"Hmm~" As the mortal body took hold, a strange energy surged into Rita's body. The energy, like a tiny electric current, quickly spread throughout her body, causing Rita to tremble involuntarily.

In an instant, an indescribable tingling sensation rose from the depths of her soul, sweeping over her like a tidal wave. Rita felt her whole body go weak, and she could no longer suppress her inner impulse, letting out a soft moan.

Just then, Chen Yuan, having completed his parasitism, flashed and lightly landed on Rita's shoulder. After landing steadily, he looked at Rita with a helpless smile on his face.

"I say, wouldn't you call this trespassing?" Chen Yuan asked, his eyes full of mockery. He was already used to Rita's behavior.

If one day she stops acting this way, perhaps she'll feel a little uneasy. After all, this has been their way of getting along since the beginning.
