It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

-

The empty venue, visible at a glance, looked unusually vast. However, Bai Lin's expression was somewhat gloomy, and he certainly couldn't see through it at a glance.

Rather than saying she was in a bad mood, it was better to say she didn't know how to face the situation. At this moment, she had put on her armor and looked at Katie who looked relaxed.

"Let me make it clear in advance. If you really want to fight me, I won't hold back. I don't know what you're trying to prove, but the truth is, even if you beat me, it won't mean anything."

Bai Lin said so, while Katie chuckled.

"That's unlike you. You're already setting yourself up for failure before the fight even begins. As for whether or not to hold back... just go for it."

Bai Lin couldn't even convince herself of the phrase "I won't hold back." Going for someone's life was easy, but winning without hurting them was a different matter. Seeing Katie's confident expression, she couldn't quite make up her mind. After a bit of nagging, she reluctantly agreed to the fight.

Why fight? She herself didn't know. Just as she didn't know how to win, Bai Lin's thoughts were in turmoil. Perhaps this was the nature of being in love: one's thoughts were inevitably influenced by the other person.

"Oh, I really don't understand you."

She rubbed her head with a headache, closed her eyes, and tapped her neck, as if trying to cheer herself up. Then, she raised her eyebrows and pointed in the direction of the constant noise and shouted,

"What the hell is that thing over there? I noticed it when I just came in here. Is it a pet you made with magic? It's too noisy!"

With a restless expression and an impatient tone, he looked in the direction Bai Lin pointed and saw a strange creature. Sitting on the stands to one side of the field was a creature no taller than a human thigh, but with the shape of about 70 to 80 people.

It had a warm and refreshing orange fur, and likewise, a pair of playful, trembling bear ears. Its round face was covered by a pair of small, round-framed sunglasses that gave it a somewhat cheesy look. The subtle allure beneath the sunglasses was enough to highlight its already restrained, cherry-pink eyes.

The maid outfit, which doesn't quite match the tone of the upper body, looks very harmonious on it - or rather, because the elements of the whole body are so strange, it doesn't look strange no matter what shoes it wears.

Round and adorable, just like its wagging tail, it carries its aura. A closer look reveals that tail, those ears—isn't this a raccoon in human form? A cute yet rambunctious bastard, sometimes rummaging through trash cans like a stray dog, wreaking havoc. Other times, it feigns a lovable air, acting like a naturally beautiful slut.

Raccoons are one of the most despicable creatures in the world.

The source of the noise was from her hands and mouth. She was holding a popcorn bucket, stuffing popcorn into her mouth continuously and chewing it.

Chapter 1061 The old scene reappears

While eating, he replied to Bai Lin,

"Wow, a heartwarming husband-wife battle is about to begin, and they're not even allowed to eat some popcorn? What do you care who I am? Just fight your battle. It's a shame I didn't get to witness the master-disciple battle ahead."

The cunning voice had a familiar female accent. Even though I was chewing popcorn, I could still hear it clearly.

"I'll fuck you, you've had enough, right?"

Because he could hear the content clearly, Bai Lin was even more furious. He rolled up his sleeves and walked directly towards that side, lingering slightly at the edge of Hong Wen. Katie walked up to her, grabbed her, and said,

"Don't be impatient, Bai Lin. Can't you recognize it? That's Kong."

A closer look revealed Katie Pello's words to be true. Aside from being a bit more raccoon-like, his features were identical to the shop owner he knew, Kong. Even the seemingly outdated little gadgets were a thing of the past; Kong loved to pull them out on occasion.

"It's the Bull Demon. No matter how much she looks like him, she can't say such a mean thing."

Bai Lin couldn't help but notice, but she still rejected the idea outright. Even though they hadn't been together long, Kong was still, in her mind, one of the best people in the world to her. For her to associate Kong with this jerk in front of her was worse than killing her.

"Oh, Shiro-rin. Did you cry your eyes out last night? I'm the manager, Sora (?), it's definitely me!"

"Why do you include a (?) in your self-introduction?"

"Because that's what I call the store manager."

Bai Lin rolled his eyes and instantly stopped paying attention to the situation over there. He looked at Katie and said,

"What's going on? Please explain...my girlfriend."

Bai Lin and Katie had almost no pet names between them. Katie's use of such terms might have been a way of flirting, while Bai Lin's use of them was likely a bit of a helpless expression. After all, she would never point her finger at her partner and scold him; this was her gentlest expression. Katie, naturally aware of this, quickly offered a thoughtful explanation.

"During your absence, some things happened. One day, Sora inexplicably vanished. Before she left, she left the ownership of a large number of spatial anchor points to me via magic letters. Isn't this place you see the one she and you once used? It belongs to her."

"Besides that, there wasn't much else in the letter. It's almost as if she just left without saying a word. The greatest underground legend in all of Camitlan vanished overnight... It's a bit strange. But when I think about it being her, I think it's understandable."

She explained this, and looked over at Sora (?) and said,

"When I arrived here, the creature already existed. It looked like she left it here on her own. But as you said, the store manager couldn't say such mean things to hurt you. If she really wanted to scold you, she wouldn't have to beat around the bush. So, what it is is indeed debatable."

"But, after all, I'm not the owner of this place. I'm just borrowing it temporarily. To be frank, Sora and I don't get along very well. The reason you left these anchors to me is simply because you weren't here and couldn't use them, so you asked me to take them on your behalf. Even if you want to drive them away, it's not my decision."

Katie's statement was very clear. If Bai Lin really had any objections, he could just let the broken bear get out of here. However, these news made Bai Lin feel weak and powerless.

Sora...left?

There have been so many things that have been confusing lately. Although Bai Lin doesn't rely on others, Kong is one of the few people in this world who can make Bai Lin feel at ease.

My girlfriend hasn't responded to me in almost a year, and now even Sora has disappeared? It's really...

"Manager, I'm right here. I've never left. Shiro Rin, don't choose the wrong time to be sad."

Sora (?) spoke like this, almost as if offering comfort. For a moment, she felt as if this somewhat awkward presence wasn't so annoying anymore. It wasn't because of the other person's words, but because of her own thoughts.

Bai Lin raised her eyebrows wearily. She was no longer bothered by the bear and ignored it. Instead, she turned to Katie and said,

"Even though the venue here is large enough, if I use my full strength, I'll still destroy too much."

"It's okay. The area here isn't considered physical in the true sense. It's a bit complicated to explain, but basically, even if it's damaged, it's fine. It can be restored."

Katie explained, holding out her hand.

"Furthermore, the content of this space is beyond your imagination. The training ground is just an easy-to-accept, empty shell. Outside, there is much more space."

"So this isn't a space portal? I always thought these rooms were built all over the world."

"Yes and no. Since you've been to another world, you should be able to understand it easily."

Katie's explanation made Bai Lin feel even more terrified. This was like a connecting point across various worlds. Angelina had spent her entire life in old age building such a passage. Kong, on the other hand, was essentially carving out his own territory within someone else's home.

How many other strengths did she possess that he hadn't yet witnessed? Bai Lin had always known that Kong was powerful, but he never seemed to know just how powerful she truly was.

Such a powerful person, why is he helping me...

As soon as doubts came to her mind, Bai Lin immediately shook them off. She had complete trust in Kong and had absolutely no doubts at all.

Right now, the most important thing was to dissuade his seemingly relaxed girlfriend from wanting to go out with him. He didn't know what she was thinking, but she had seen everything about him through her mind-reading skills, yet she still thought she could beat him.

No, it's precisely because she's seen everything that she thinks she'll win. Katie's magic is incredibly varied, and she's probably learned quite a bit during her time at school. So, it's safe to assume she's already mentally developed strategies for each of her abilities.

If you think about it this way, it makes sense. Although her expression doesn't make it seem that simple, but...

If that's the case, then I can still win easily.

The author's words:

After the battle between master and apprentice, it is the battle between husband and wife. They really fight anyone, Bai Lin.

I know that I was the one who started all these fights for her. I also know that there have been too many fights lately.

So I kept the fighting scenes as simple as possible.

But it is necessary to have it. Bai Lin is too stubborn. She will definitely not be able to move with her mouth.

Chapter 1062: Variables and Constants

Bai Lin's eyes narrowed, and he lowered his aura as he looked at the other party.

In terms of sheer numbers of abilities, she rarely held an advantage in combat. However, her combat awareness, honed from countless brinks of life and death, allowed her to instantly devise the best response to any situation. In other words, plans couldn't keep up with change, and she herself was the greatest variable.

"Then, let's get started."

She turned around and took a few steps.

"It's the same as before."

Katie, said so.

In the initial battle, Bai Lin had yielded a few steps. As a melee fighter, she'd yielded to the mage. But now, this concession was no longer arrogance, but pure confidence, the confidence of a powerful being. As she slowly turned around, a gleam of brilliance faintly emerged from her face. The steel helmet slowly enveloped her, and a sharp blade emerged from her hand.

The battle posture has been set.

"Don't you want to get ready?"

Looking at the other party's casual standing posture, Bai Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"I'm not a fighter like you. I've practiced a lot in school, but in front of you, any posture I put on is redundant. It's just a waste of effort. It's better to stand more naturally."

Bai Lin could understand Katie's response.

"Then I'll go—"

The movement of raising her foot coincided with her words. Bai Lin's voice was as powerful as the clouds, and her movements were as swift as lightning. However, this time, she didn't use her usual lunge, but instead landed a heavy kick directly on the ground.

Vibrating feet.

Instantly, the entire area was shaken. This wasn't just an earthquake; the force of the plates pushing against each other wasn't nearly as strong as the impact of her kick. The ground shook, as if the very sky itself was about to shatter under the sheer force of her kick.

Now when Bai Lin uses this move again at this time, it is not just a simple show of skill. Her strength has already become extraordinary. Ordinary places such as the normal surface can no longer withstand her abuse.

As for why she had acted this way, the answer quickly emerged. "Katie" before her suddenly dissolved into a pool of liquid like ink, dissolving where she stood. She claimed to need no preparation, but in reality, she had already put in the effort, preparing for battle. Her little thought crumbled in an instant.

Furthermore, through divine observation, Bai Lin could easily detect the flow of magic power. There was no sign of floating magic power, so it could be assumed that Katie's body was still on the ground. This kick would surely confirm her true location.

As expected, a spherical ball of light appeared before Bai Lin's eyes. She instantly approached and delivered a powerful punch. The feeling of a hit was instantaneous, and everything was just as Bai Lin had predicted.

However, a burst of evil laughter rang out from the edge of the field. It was obvious that the raccoon was enjoying the scene.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of intense light erupted from the spot Bai Lin had struck. If the ceiling were opened, revealing the night sky, this radiance would have illuminated the entire night sky. Such powerful light, at close range, penetrated Bai Lin's brain directly, causing her to subconsciously close her eyes. At the same time, a sharp sensation emanated from beneath her feet.

So that's what happened. At the same time as I used my shock kick, I used some magical means to throw a flash magic ball upwards. At the same time, taking advantage of my unfamiliarity with magic, I used that technique as a smokescreen and secretly cast some space spells to sneak underground. While avoiding the shock wave, I hid and waited for an opportunity to strike?

Bai Lin instantly realized the other party's intention and made such a judgment.

Indeed, strong flashes can disrupt a person's reactions, causing them to instinctively resist and shut down. Humans simply cannot resist them on their own.

But I am no longer the same as I was before. I still have the instinct to kill others first and then cry out in pain.

Without a moment's hesitation, Bai Lin tilted her shield and smashed it downwards. She said she wouldn't hold back, but even after being hit by a blow, she still held back. She knew that with her own strength, even a finger alone would be enough to flatten a normal person, let alone a shield.

However, it seemed that this very restraint interfered with her subsequent actions. Bai Lin felt as if she had dented the face of some creature, and could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking and brains splattering. But at the same time, her hand was grabbed. A pair of sharp claws covered with countless tangled hairs captured her hand that was swinging down the shield, and she felt a strong corrosive and numb sensation.

It felt really disgusting. It clearly wasn't Katie. Apparently, she wasn't so foolish as to use her true form to sneak attack me. But she had definitely learned some unconventional techniques to deal with these guys.

As soon as she sensed a presence, Bai Lin had already locked onto the multiple auras beneath the portal that had summoned the disgusting creature. She forcefully freed her hand, not even bothering to recharge her energy. Destroying these creatures would take less than a second, just a breath. Speed ​​was paramount.

Speed ​​is indeed important, so the loss of this breath can be fatal.

In an instant, the magical ripples detected through divine observation, originating from this small portal, instantly spread throughout the arena. Bai Lin was momentarily startled, but it was too late to halt the attack. While he didn't know the source of such a powerful spell, it seemed he had been tricked again. He could only brace himself for the attack.

However, the expected attack did not come. Instead, the floor of the entire arena cracked directly, revealing a huge crack. Bai Lin, who had not expected this at all, fell directly into the abyss, which was the door to another world.

The floor returned to normal, like a heavy door closing. Katie Pello's figure appeared faintly from the lower side of one end of the field.

By releasing the target to attract Bai Lin, he created an almost infinitesimal time difference. Then, by taking advantage of the opponent's unfamiliarity with magic, he used induction techniques to allow the ripples of magic to cover the entire field.

In this way, Bai Lin will not be forced to jump up and away from the floor when he sees the floor glowing.

So, Katie successfully sent Bai Lin to another space, gaining enough advantages for herself as a mage - time.

The distance of a few steps was indeed just a gentleman's courtesy. However, such a time difference, let alone bridging the gap between the two, could even bring about a drastic change.

The author's words:

Ahem, I've been talking a lot lately, but I still think I have to mention this.

I've said before that I wasn't in the best of physical and mental shape, but that's no excuse. My main symptoms were still headaches and dizziness, but recently I've been experiencing severe insomnia, so I went to the hospital.

The doctor prescribed me diazepam right away. I heard it was quite strong, but after taking it for two days I couldn’t sleep well. So the doctor asked me to see a psychiatrist.

Guess what? The psychiatrist said I was severely depressed, but I personally didn't feel that way. Okay, so what? They gave me some tranquilizers and sleeping pills. As long as I could sleep, I'd be fine.

A doctor friend of mine told me that taking this medicine will make you not want to think. In other words, it will make your brain dull. Uh uh

This really touched my bottom line.

But he said that not sleeping would cause more serious brain damage, so now I am in a dilemma.

At present, I haven't felt that the creation of the last two chapters has declined compared to the previous ones, and I hope that it won't decline in the future. However, I also hope that you will be mentally prepared.

Chapter 1063 Multiple Chant

A high-speed chant erupted from her lips, the constructed spell spreading and swaying like a raging tree. Then, light shone from the insides of her slender wrists, the surging radiance opening like two other mouths, chanting simultaneously.

Multiple Chant

The speed at which the spells covered the field wasn't just increasing exponentially, but rather evolving at an unreasonably high rate. After a circle of formations crawled across every corner of the field, more circles of formations would overlay and deepen the surface, like thick paint applied stroke by stroke in a painting...

No, it's more accurate to say "the history of the evolution of civilization." Since ancient times, humans have been particularly remarkable. In the process of civilizational evolution, they have always left behind some of their legacy, while also rewriting it with almost entirely new content. Even things that are now useless are the most stable foundations for the present and a bright future.

And now, the procedure is complete.

"This little girl is truly insane, able to channel so much magic power and process so many spells simultaneously. While I, the store manager, can do it, it's not in the same sense. If I did that, the magic power load would be too high if I exceeded a certain number, leading to failure. That's not my style. Instead, I'd rather use some clean, efficient spells."

Our little raccoon, Sora (?), was surrounded by a pile of beer bottles. Her face was flushed like a drunk, and she was grabbing chips and popcorn, fitting my stereotype of a raccoon perfectly. But at this moment, she began to analyze the situation.
