Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Stella pulled the sword from the ground, her gaze fixed intently on the area enveloped by the pillar of fire, and said calmly.

"Of course I won't complain."

"After all, in some areas, my abilities are superior to yours."

A sudden itch appeared in my ear as a familiar voice boomed from an extremely close distance.

"It's about physical fitness, don't you agree, Miss Stella?"

“Finally I got fooled.”

Stella didn't turn around; instead, her body seemed to scatter like flames.

"——Yin Yan Dark Curtain."

Testimonials

Actually, I didn't want to write about this, since it's just the author trying to gain sympathy.

But thinking about it carefully, the author has really been having a tough time lately. His original business wasn't generating much income, and now he's basically spending his savings every month, so writing novels is really the only option for now.

Is this considered being forced to work full-time?

Forget it.

Let's get back to the issue of the novel.

This project has been problematic from the very beginning. Many things were not considered thoroughly, which has led to many flaws being exposed to everyone. I sincerely apologize for offending you.

Ultimately, this was a forced change in my writing style. I didn't know how to write like this to begin with, but I insisted on writing it anyway.

If we had used the previous opening method, things wouldn't be like this now.

The results were also nowhere near those of the previous book; the number of favorites before it was released was at least one-third less.

But there's nothing we can do; we only have ourselves to blame.

I can only blame myself.

Let's start adjusting the pace as much as possible now, hoping to make this book a bit longer. (Although, according to my outline, I'm aiming for three million words.)

Next, let's talk about the product launch.

It's inevitable that there will be a massive update on the day of release.

Don't worry, it will definitely be over 15,000 words.

As for the reward, it's the same as before: 100 blades, 10,000 yuan reward plus one card, and it will be posted for a week.

Next, let's talk about the update issues after the app is released.

Let's base it on the initial order.

First order exceeded 1500, daily orders reached 6000.

First order exceeded 2000, daily orders reached 8,000.

If I could really get top-rated content on my first day, I'd be happy to earn 10,000 every day (although I'm dreaming, I'd be thrilled with 1500, but you should still have dreams, right?)

Thank you all so much for your support. Sincerely, author Huihuiyuxia

Chapter 060 The Transformation of Shigure

“Finally I got fooled.”

Behind Makoto Haramura, accompanied by the distorting heat, Stella's figure appeared like a mirage.

At the same time, in front of Makoto Haramura, Stella's figure, which had been struck by Makoto Haramura's Rain Moon Slash, vanished in an instant like a bubble in a phantom.

It is an existence that is like an illusion.

"——Yin Yan Dark Curtain."

Stella softly called out the name of this powerful sword technique.

This is one of Stella's signature sword techniques, which uses heat energy to refract light, creating an effect similar to a mirage.

This was a series of attack patterns that Stella had designed from the very beginning.

She had always known that even if she increased the temperature of the flames and improved the quality of the fire dragon, it would still be difficult to deal with Haramura Makoto.

After all, just a short while ago, she had watched the battle videos that Shinguji Kuro had left behind several times.

In her view, as possessors of abilities of the same type, even if they are not exactly the same, they should at least have some similarities.

That's why she devised this attack strategy of luring the enemy deep into her territory.

By using that powerful, high-energy attack, Haramura Makoto was able to accelerate himself to get behind her in an instant. He then used this unique sword-wielding technique to deliver an unexpected blow to Haramura Makoto.

This is the person known as the "Crimson Lotus Princess".

Only shallow people would think that Stella has relied solely on her talent and immense magical power since birth.

But isn't this result a testament to Stella's hard work?

If it weren't for her usual diligence, which allowed her to develop her abilities into various sword-wielding skills encompassing attack power, defense, and deception, she would have been completely different.

Even if she had the brains to come up with such a plan, it would absolutely not be able to be successfully implemented.

"Ahhhh-"

In an instant, Stella mobilized almost all of her magic power, causing the hellish flames to blaze fiercely. She unleashed a slashing attack, aiming a vicious blow at Makoto Haramura's back.

The intense heat emanating from the sword truly distorted the surrounding space.

And faced with such a blow.

"—Ten times speed!"

Haramura Makoto's gaze was solemn, his two rows of white teeth clenched tightly together. In that instant, his speed seemed to approach the sound barrier. He reversed his wrist and, while swinging the sword with a sharp, piercing sound, slammed it into the flaming giant sword.

"——Qiang!"

The crimson blades and the fiery red greatsword clashed heavily, producing a crisp striking sound as sparks and fire flew out from where the blades met.

"Bang bang bang-"

Three more magical bullets were fired in quick succession as the swords clashed.

At extremely close range, and after being accelerated, the magic bullet.

Stella had no room to escape.

"Well--"

Stella let out a muffled groan. Even though she had already erected a high-temperature barrier in front of herself, the impact of that instant caused her internal organs to churn.

But Stella couldn't give up just because of that.

She had watched videos of Shinomiya Kuro. All the opponents who were defeated by Shinomiya Kuro had been outmaneuvered by her and manipulated at will.

Therefore, only continuous close-quarters combat is the way to defeat this man in front of me.

And just now, she confirmed this conjecture with a sword strike from behind.

"—Dragon Tremor Kick!"

In an instant, Stella raised her slightly plump legs high and stomped them hard on the ground in front of her.

"Boom——"

An astonishing roar immediately resounded.

"Rumble..."

The entire ground was shaking violently. Even when Makoto Haramura and Kurono Shinguji fought, only shallow craters were left. The training ground, made of special materials, was now shaking as if it were experiencing a magnitude 10 earthquake. The tremors emanated from Stella's feet, spreading outwards and causing the ground to crack and collapse inch by inch.

"Wow wow wow wow-"

Exclamations of surprise, varying in pitch, immediately erupted from the stands.

It appears that the violent shaking has been transmitted to the stands on both sides.

"—The Dragon Feather Robe."

Stella brandished her greatsword once more and lunged forward.

The flames, like a storm, rose up violently and ragingly, transforming into a fiery feather robe that draped over Stella's body.

This is also one of Stella's signature sword-wielding techniques.

The ultimate sword technique, combining offense and defense, involves wrapping oneself in flames at a temperature of three thousand degrees Celsius, causing attackers to be intensely burned and preventing them from even getting close to her.

But Stella's attacks went far beyond that.

The intense heat scorched the surrounding ground, turning the entire training ground into a pool of lava, transforming the entire tenth training ground into a scene resembling hell.

"Seriously, that's why I said I didn't really want to fight this."

"The situation is unexpectedly troublesome, and I am not fully familiar with my abilities."

Feeling the faint stinging sensation on his skin, Makoto Haramura simultaneously reached out and blocked the sword.

His other hand was gripping the Void Rift, which was superimposed on the hilt of the sword in an extremely unusual posture.

"This is the first time I've used this method, and I haven't verified whether it's feasible."

"So if you get hurt, don't blame me, Miss Stella."

Enveloped in the blazing flames, Makoto Haramura raised his head and stared at Stella, who had leaped into the air with a look of surprise on her face.

Magical power surged within him with unprecedented ferocity.

Makoto Haramura's eyes revealed a wildness.

Or perhaps it should be said that it seems that only now has Makoto Haramura's fighting spirit been fully ignited.

He frantically squeezed out his own magic power, and when Makoto Haramura, who ranked among the top ten in the world in terms of total magic power, unleashed his magic power, he was in no way inferior to Stella.

"Timely Rain—Transformation!"

Accompanied by the surge of magic power and Makoto Haramura's soft exhale.

The crimson light spread like mist, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield and completely shrouding the red hell.

The scorching heat has disappeared.

The burning flames stopped their swaying motion.

Even Stella, who had leaped high into the air and was about to slash down, was strangely suspended in mid-air, as if something had held her in place, fixing her body completely in place.

"It was only five seconds, but I won."

……

The transformation of timely rain!

This is a skill that Makoto Haramura designed himself yesterday in his room; it's still just a concept.

To put it in simpler terms, it means fully unleashing one's time power during the rain and moon.

Using his own spatial abilities to create rifts, he stimulated Yu Yue's time power, causing it to increase exponentially, and then unleashed his own magic to control her.

After all, time and space have always been similar, two inseparable characteristics.

Finally, the power spread outwards like mist, causing the surrounding space to completely freeze in time.

However, with his current ability to control magic, even if he suddenly unleashed nearly half of his magic power...

At most, it can only maintain this power of time freezing for about five seconds.

“But you lost, Miss Stella.”

Haramura Makoto took two leisurely steps forward, then forcefully raised the sword in his hand and swung it upwards with a backhand motion.

"Chong-"

Another extremely crisp sound rang out.

The crimson blade stopped at Stella's waist.

Contrary to what Makoto Haramura had anticipated, he didn't tear open Stella's clothes as proof of victory. Instead, he stopped there strangely, as if something was blocking his way.
