Alone and Infinite

The road to becoming stronger is long and arduous!

In the training field, Li Xia was once again reaching the limit of mastering and becoming accustomed to the transparent world.

As an extension of the Demon Slayer world, the Breathing Techniques have reached their limit, and the originally abnormal percentage bonus has become a fixed bonus.

This was inevitable; Li Xia hadn't expected that the breathing technique he obtained in the early stages of the world would be useful in the later stages.

It's like if Muzan, the final boss of Demon Slayer, were standing right in front of me, I could instantly slice him into sashimi.

After training, we had another delicious meal with Aowu Heitan at the same buffet restaurant.

The next day, after indulging in a long, relaxing sleep, I headed straight for the arena.

Inside the preparation lounge, a large screen clearly displays the current real-time number of players and their personal information.

You have entered the Arena (Tier 3)

Current Arena Players: 31714

[Current ranking: 28991]

Current winning streak: 0 games

The last time I came to the arena, I encountered an extremely disgusting heavily armored tank, and the terrain was an octagonal cage.

Li Xia decisively chose to give up, which broke his winning streak and caused his ranking to drop significantly.

"Boss, boss, let's start a match!"

Aowu was eager to try. As previously agreed, it and Heitan would be the first to face the current opponents. The problem for Aowu and Heitan was that they lacked real combat experience.

Most of the time, the dragon and the cat are playing a support role, especially Awoo, who previously had a mud body and couldn't improve its attributes.

Now that it's back in the game, its attributes have increased across the board, with 26 points in all five attributes. At this level, which is close to 3th place, that's definitely not bad.

Moreover, there's still a considerable distance to go before reaching the fourth tier, so there's a long way to go before sprinting into the arena, and there's not much pressure about winning or losing.

Li Xia smiled and clicked "Start".

The matching speed is as fast as ever.

[Matching successful]

[We have found an opponent with a similar current ranking, and we will soon begin preparing for the match!]

[Audience size: 2]

[Venue is being randomly selected]

[Battle begins!]

Suddenly, everything went black before my eyes, and the traditional feeling of dizziness gradually faded away.

What comes into view is a forest, with a winding river flowing through it and heading into the distance.

On the other side of the river, the battling apostles were also shaking their heads, trying to shake off the dizziness of the teleportation.

The strange force that had restricted his movement vanished abruptly. Li Xia glanced around and sat down on a tree stump not far away.

He waved to Black Charcoal and Awoo:

"rush!"

The little hand squinted its eyes, sizing up its opponents: a person, a cat, and an egg?

Is this a summoner? But this summon doesn't seem very powerful?

He pondered this in his mind, but his hands didn't stop moving. He flipped his hands and threw a round metal ball onto the ground.

The metal spheres quickly unfolded, forming a cube-shaped shelter, followed by the throwing of several more metal spheres of varying sizes.

In just a few seconds, a gleaming metallic bunker appeared on the opposite bank of the river, its sentry gun flashing a blinding red light as it slowly circled.

Li Xia raised her eyebrows, her interest piqued.

Is this a cover-based gunner?

As we all know, gunners are a class with high damage output, but they are also extremely vulnerable. Having cover or not is crucial for them.

However, real-world situations are ever-changing, and it's impossible for a gunman to always have a suitable cover available.

In this magical place called the temple, a gunman racked his brains and finally invented a path that can be described as having a unique and ingenious approach.

If there's no cover, can't I just build one myself?

Thus, relying on the magical temple, the cover-based gunner finally emerged, and with the passage of time...

They're getting more and more obsessed; some can even build an 'Eiffel Tower' for you in an instant.

In short, there's only one idea: either you come to cover me and shoot, or I'll hold you at gunpoint until you die.

The sturdy materials are comparable to heavy armor, making it difficult for ranged attacks to destroy the cover. Even if some of the cover is damaged, they can still use the remaining cover to launch an attack.

If we ignore the gunman...

The gunmen who take cover and fire are the most terrifying source of damage.

tricky!

Unexpectedly, the kitten and Awoo encountered such a formidable enemy in their very first match.

Li Xia rested her chin on her hand, watching with great interest. If it were her, well, the other side wouldn't even have time to prepare.

It doesn't matter if it's already set up, just charge in and kill them all.

Her small hand rested the gun on the firing port, and her free left eye, adorned with an advanced contact lens, displayed the radar scan results.

Then they saw the black cat rushing towards them with ghostly speed.

A forceful charge?

The sentry guns deployed in front of them suddenly turned around in unison.

"toot toot"

Metal jets spewed from the constantly rotating muzzle; these were all ordinary bullets, but their lethality was still considerable.

Several scorching chains of fire formed a crossfire, blocking the kitten's escape route.

"Oh!"

The black cat swept by the fire chain exploded into a puff of smoke. Xiao Shou's eyes narrowed, "Shadow Clone Technique?"

Just then, the stream in front of them suddenly boiled, sending up a torrent of water several meters high that rushed toward the metal bunker.

One of the eggs, covered in scales, was faintly visible.

"Oh!"

The small hand decisively pulled the trigger, and the muzzle suddenly spewed air out in all directions, releasing the enormous recoil.

A flash of fire appeared on the dragon egg, and with immense force, it spun around and flew backward at an extremely fast speed.

Holy crap, what kind of creature laid this egg? Even a sniper bullet with +9 attack couldn't penetrate it?

Xiao Shou cursed under his breath, but quickly pulled back the bolt, because the radar showed that another red dot was approaching.

"boom!"

The water had just splashed onto the ground when a white, illusory figure several meters tall rose up, its arms outstretched and fists clenched, ready to slam down heavily.

The little hand showed no panic, aiming at the kitten enveloped by the white, illusory figure.

Susanoo is nothing new, it's a flesh and blood Susanoo. A third-tier Susanoo has considerable defensive power, but that's relative.

His bullets were enough to penetrate the defenses and kill the main body inside.

But this guy on the other side is really rich. He can actually equip the Palico with the Mangekyou Sharingan. It must cost at least 10.

It's a pity. Even if an Palico has the Sharingan, it's still just a Palico!

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, his little hand heard a strange roar in his ear.

It felt as if the entire world was spinning, and a giant dragon seemed to be coldly staring at him.

[You have been affected by the Dragon's Majesty. After calculating relevant resistances, you have suffered 1174 points of Mental damage!]

"puff!"

Blood spurted from the little hand's mouth. He glanced at the panel with some fear, but still gritted his teeth and stared at Susanoo.

But through the scope, a pair of blood-red Sharingan eyes seemed to fill the entire field of vision.

Oh no! Illusion!

Black Charcoal silently approached the small hand, which was still in an aiming posture, and extended three sharp claws.

She effortlessly swept her hand across the neck, like an elegant assassin.

Blood gushed out, and Black Charcoal instinctively wanted to lick his paws, but then he seemed to hear Li Xia's voice in his ear: "Don't lick your paws!"

The kitten darted out from its hiding place and waved its paws happily at Li Xia, who was a hundred meters away.

"Meow!"

First victory!

Chapter 293 Don't Let Me Meet You in the Derivative World

"Cool!"

After a successful first battle, Aowu was extremely excited, except for occasions like when he and the boss scored 81 points together.

This was its first time charging ahead, and the accumulated dragon's majesty finally paid off after it was revived.

"Not bad, quite a clever tactic."

Li Xia nodded approvingly. Black Charcoal could use illusion magic, but its illusion magic was only so-so.

Even though the Sharingan enhances genjutsu, the rudimentary genjutsu it has learned is unlikely to be effective in one strike.

And the distance must be close enough.

But Awoo first used 'Dragon's Majesty' to severely shake the enemy's spirit.

Taking advantage of the moment of confusion, Kurotan quickly followed up with illusion magic, forming a small combo.

"Your egg—"

Li Xia suddenly remembered the dragon egg of Aowu, which was shot by a sniper and didn't even leave a mark; it was simply too tough.

"This!"

With a chuckle, it proudly patted the egg with its little paws, making a 'clang clang clang' metallic clanging sound.

"This is a dragon egg, the last line of defense protecting the young dragon. It's incredibly strong, and can only be opened when the baby dragon is inside."

A mere sniper rifle! Otherwise, why would I keep the eggs?

"Boss, this is top-tier material. I'm planning to use it whenever you need it."

His loyalty and bravery are commendable!

Li Xia nodded with satisfaction and pressed the match button again.

victory!

victory!

The combo that Aowu and Heitan devised proved incredibly effective in the 20,000+ rank.

Basically, no one can withstand these three blows.

Or rather, the stealth and suddenness of such psychological attacks make them difficult to guard against.

Until they met their match.

"Psychic attack?"

The tall, thin man watched the fluctuating magical shield in front of him, then stared with interest at the 'egg' and the black cat opposite him.

"A summoner?"
