Twelve Trials from Scratch

Of course, the real Roman Colosseum cannot appear on the Hyperion. This is just an adjusted and scaled-down version reproduced by the environmental simulation system in the training room, but the simulation is too real, making people feel like they are really there, as if they can Just feel the aftertaste of civilization settled in the surrounding buildings.

Su Qi is someone who has seen big scenes anyway, so of course he won't be overwhelmed by this kind of pediatric ostentation. With a glance, he went straight to the center of the venue where the real area was reduced to less than ten meters in diameter due to the limited space on the ship. Xiyue, who had been waiting here for a long time, stood opposite each other.

The latter also wore a white tight-fitting combat uniform, outlining an exquisite body line, unlike Su Qi's right sword and left spear, he just carried a sheathed sword with a blade no more than three feet long. .

And Lao Wang, who said he wanted to help witness, stood in the corner, looking at this side with a slightly nervous expression.

"You still have a gun?"

The two looked at each other at a distance of about five feet, and Xiyue's gaze moved down and landed on the revolver held by Su Qi in his left hand.

The latter glanced at the gun in his hand, and said solemnly: "Oh, my school of kendo is quite special. I pay attention to both left and right wielding, and pay equal attention to swords and guns. Why, can't I use a gun?"

Xiyue retracted her gaze and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I can activate the Valkyrie system in the battle suit. Although it is only the most primitive version, it only has basic functions such as strengthening speed, strength, and neural response speed, but objectively it still accounts for it. It’s very cheap, so you can use whatever you want. But you’d better not pin your hopes on that gun, in front of the Valkyrie, it’s not as easy to use as you think.”

Slashing bullets with a knife—this miracle unimaginable by ordinary people is not difficult for a Valkyrie above B-level. The top Valkyrie can easily do it even without the Valkyrie armor. Firearms can't pose much threat to Valkyrie.

What's more, the two are so close now, with her speed, they can cross the entire battlefield in less than a second, and ordinary opponents don't even have the chance to shoot.

"Thank you for the reminder..." Su Qi smiled and said, "Reciprocity is a courtesy, let me say it again, it's best not to treat me as a weak person who can only talk."

But Chancheng Xiyue actually didn't need his reminder.She intensively studies the way of swordsmanship, and has already comprehended the principle of "remnant heart", and holds it all the time.Moreover, all Valkyries like her, who have experienced many battles, engraved "once you step on the battlefield, no matter what situation you face, you must go all out and be cautious" as a creed into your body instincts, otherwise it would be impossible to survive. until now.

So even though from her point of view, the other party is just an ordinary person in terms of temperament, physical fitness, gestures, and all kinds of details inadvertently displayed, but once he enters the fighting state, it is absolutely impossible to be careless.

"let's start."

Chancheng Xiyue's feet were separated front and back, her body was slightly heavy, her center of gravity was tilted to the left, and she leaned forward slightly, holding the scabbard with her left hand, and holding the handle of the knife with her right hand tightly and loosely. Weapons don't hurt, so I won't keep my hands."

The combat uniforms and weapons used for training are all specially made, with an advanced safety system, that is, when a bullet or blade is about to touch the combat uniform and break through the limit safety distance, it will be sensed immediately, and the two will be separated through the powerful magnetic field that repels each other inside.

Therefore, weapons used in training cannot cut people to death, they can only bounce them away, and the trainers can also exert their full strength and fight to their heart's content.

"No problem, please do your best and don't leave any regrets."

After Su Qi finished speaking, his shoulders sank slightly, his arms naturally hung down, he shot left and right, with his feet separated, looked at each other, nodded slightly, indicating that he was ready.

However, Chancheng Xiyue, whose eyes were as sharp as a sword, did not move when she had just set her posture and her momentum was rising.

what happened?This feeling……

She stared at Su Qi on the opposite side, she remained calm on the surface, but a storm arose in her heart.

It's different... The other party feels completely different to her... It's just a slight change of standing posture, and the range of movements is very subtle, but it feels like a different person to her... No, it's a different species!From a salted fish that can only jump around the ground and can be chopped up to make soup, it has become a... black hole?

All attempts to test momentum are swallowed by the opponent's sense of presence, all attempts to influence the opponent through posture, sight, eyes and other skills are easily disintegrated, and all the sword theory and combat experience accumulated so far cannot be applied to the opponent's seemingly mediocre It is unremarkable, but it seems to hide countless mysteries, standing in the posture and position of the center of heaven and earth.

Muscles gradually become stiff.

The palms gradually became moist.

Chancheng Xiyue stared at Su Qi with rapt attention, her face was expressionless, her breathing was gentle, seemingly non-existent, motionless like a stone sculpture, only a pair of pupils dilated slowly, bright as stars.

She was trying her best to suppress the tension in her heart, as well as the faint fear that seemed to emerge from the deepest part of her heart.She knew that whether it was a loss of calm or confidence, she would lose the battle, and she certainly didn't want to lose.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, eight seconds... Time passed bit by bit, but Xiyue, who was extremely concentrated, didn't notice it at all, and even ignored that maintaining the same posture for a long time would make the body stiff This is good for fighting.

But in the eyes of Lao Wang in the corner, her behavior seemed very strange.

What the hell is she doing?Why just stay there and do nothing?

He frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled—although he was also a veteran of many battles, his strength and experience were not as good as a top Valkyrie like Xiyue, and he was not the person being targeted, so he couldn't feel the pressure on the other party.

However, Lao Wang's experience and knowledge are of course not comparable to that of laymen, and he quickly realized that the root of Xiyue's abnormal behavior must be Su Qi.

It's just...how is that possible!?How could it be possible to stop a Valkyrie who was powerful enough to defeat hundreds of Honkai Beasts just by standing there?

Based on the experience of that night ten days ago, he didn't think that Xiyue could easily defeat Su Qi, but he also hoped that she could make the latter fall into a hard fight so that he could collect more information, but now it seems... bad, Xie Ms. Yue won't just lose like this, right?

Fortunately, what Lao Wang was worried about did not happen, because Su Qi waited for a while, and finally started to act.

"Aren't you going to do it?"

He asked softly, Xiyue replied silently, still staring at the former without blinking.

"It seems that you don't understand..." He slowly raised his revolver and pointed it at Xiyue's chest, "If you hesitate, you will lose."

While speaking, pull the trigger.

boom! !

With a flash of fire, the bullet broke through the air barrier and appeared in front of Xiyue in an instant.

The next moment, before the battle, she still wanted to use her own strength to defeat Su Qi, her eyes were fixed, and she activated the Valkyrie system without hesitation.

hum...

Immediately, the mind interfered with the Honkai energy through the artificial stigmata on the back, forming a VM (Valkyrie Mist) force field to spread outward, resonating with the armor module, activating the Honkai furnace, and the Valkyrie system operated accordingly, and a streak of light was lit on the surface of the battle suit. A bloody light bar with a very sci-fi feel.

Then, time seemed to slow down extremely at this moment.

Keng...

Sparks splashed, the blade rubbed against the mouth of the sheath, and was pulled out of the sheath.

And almost at the same time as the sound of unsheathing spread, Xiyue rushed out, shooting towards Su Qi like a stream of white light.

Clang!

Halfway through, the long knife was finally completely unsheathed, and the blade drew a slanted arc in midair from bottom to top, and cut the neutron bullet with incomparable precision, splitting it in half obliquely.The cut surface is as smooth as a mirror, and the precise structure inside the special warhead can be clearly seen.

Then the two halves of the split bullets flew out diagonally backwards, she didn't stop at all, and swiftly rushed to Su Qi's body in an instant.

But at this moment, Su Qi did not retreat but advanced, and just rightly stepped half a step diagonally to the opponent's right, deflected downwards, and pushed out the long knife.

In the next moment, Xiyue's blade slashed across Su Qi's neck, and with only a slight gap, it was able to break through the limit safe distance and trigger the repelling effect of the battle suit on the surface of the skin; Completely exhausted, if you want to move forward even a little bit, you need to borrow new energy, so the distance of this hair is now an insurmountable moat.

At the same time, the lightning-like arc of the knife light was elongated in Su Qi's hands, and then, relying on the longer blade, and the ingenious control of time and space, it cut into Xiyue's lower abdomen, breaking through easily The limit safety distance.

Then there was a bang, and the two figures suddenly separated and retreated at the same time.

Su Qi stepped back two or three times, stabilized his figure, and stopped easily.However, Xiyue seemed to be sent flying, her body drew a parabola in mid-air, and flew backwards three or four meters before flipping, half-kneeling on the ground, barely stopping at the edge of the field.

At this time, the two halves of the bullets that flew out before and fell after hitting the wall finally landed, beating and clanging.

"Huh? What just happened?"

The battle process between the two is very long to write out, but it actually took less than a second, so in the eyes of Lao Wang, who is an ordinary person, what happened just now was Su Qi shooting, the two figures flashed, and then immediately shot It's all about yourself.

But even if he couldn't see the process clearly, he knew that in that short period of time just now, a fierce battle must have erupted between the two, and the winner... was Su Qi.

"I lost……"

Looking down at the battle uniform that was shining with the loser's red light on her body, Xiyue murmured softly, her expression was still a little dazed, and she didn't have much sense of being defeated by Bei.But she knew very well that she had indeed lost, to a cleaner, a guy who was an ordinary person ten days ago.

"Assigned."

Su Qi was very polite and humble.After all, I have to ask others to help later, if I over-stimulate and the other party repents, it will be a waste of time.

Xiyue shook her head slightly, "No, it's not an acknowledgment, I really lost to you. You don't have to take care of my emotions and self-effacing, if I lose, I lose. Failure is unacceptable.”

After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked towards Su Qi, "But I really want to know, why do you have such exquisite swordsmanship? There are also speed and strength... Although the erosion and transformation of Houkai energy can indeed strengthen the body, it should be in a short period of time. You can't reach this point, and the strengthening tendency of the stigmata is Houkai adaptability, so your physical fitness is also very abnormal."

She had personally experienced it in the battle just now, and the opponent's strength and speed were indeed as she said, far exceeding the level of ordinary people; The level below the Valkyrie is only, although it can be called an anomaly, it is not too exaggerated.

The real reason why the opponent can easily defeat him is that he can completely see through all his offensive and rhythm, which can be called the powerful swordsmanship of the "Sword Master" realm.

And this, of course, was also deliberately done by Su Qi.

"Nothing else, only familiarity, talent, and opportunity." Having said that, he frowned slightly, and he developed his acting skills without hindrance. "As for the abnormality on my body, it may be the mutation of the stigmata."

Xiyue took a deep look at him, didn't continue to ask, and said instead: "Forget it, this question should be left to those researchers. Now I lost, and I will fulfill our agreement. "

"Refreshing, I like people like you who keep their word."

"Since you have proved your strength, I certainly have no reason to prevent you from stepping into the battlefield. Rather, I am even happy to see it happen... Then, change your clothes quickly. I will wait for you outside the training room. Take advantage of the lunch break to bring You go see Ji Zi."

She said, turned around and left, but when she reached the door of the maintenance room, she stopped suddenly without turning her head, and said calmly: "By the way, I still want to apologize to you. This time I was meddling in my own business, so I owe you You once, you can come to me for help in the future.”

Su Qi shook his head slightly, "No need, you are doing it for my own good. As a good man with a big heart, I, Su, certainly don't care about such small things."

"A mistake is a mistake, and a faux pas is a faux pas. You don't care about such trivial things, but I do."

"Okay then, I just have something to ask for your help."

"what's up?"

"When I see Miss Jizi later, give me a few good words... well, just say that I am a good person, a strong fighter who is determined, brave, handsome, outstanding, and dedicated to eradicating Houkai. "

Chancheng Xiyue: "..."

……

After a while, Su Qi took off his training uniform, put away his weapon, and greeted the old Wang who came forward to congratulate him, then joined Chancheng Xiyue, and went straight to the No. [-] training room that Jizi of Wuliang Tower often used forward.

"You wait here for a while, I'll go in and say hello to Ji Zi, and I'll pick you up later."

"No problem, I'll just wait outside."

Xiyue turned around and entered the No. [-] training room. Su Qi stood outside the door, watched her leave, and let out a soft breath, "Then, it's time to contribute to this broken world."

Chapter 8 Men may not be strong, but they must be confident

Hyperion, first training room.

In the urban ruins with complex terrain and wrecked buildings, endless Honkai beasts flooded the land, rushing from all directions like a tide, and launched violent impacts on the vigorous figure in the middle again and again, as if endlessly.

Looking around, the advance-level Honkai beasts, the knight-level Honkai beasts, the ballista-level Honkai beasts, the chariot-level Honkai beasts, the temple-level Honkai beasts... All kinds of low-level Honkai beasts known so far all appear in the In the white beast horde, although the size has been reduced proportionally, but because the attack density is higher, it is more targeted to the human body size. If an ordinary Valkyrie is involved, it may be torn to pieces in an instant.

But even though it was a single enemy, and the enemy's offensive was like a storm, the besieged figure seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

Her skin is fair, and her tall figure without a trace of fat is tightly wrapped in a crimson combat uniform, which outlines a sexy and fit figure.The fiery red long hair is naturally curly, tied into a loose and chic single hair tail around the right side of the neck, the mature and beautiful face is stained with a layer of frost because of the battle, and the golden eyes are full of cold evil spirit, but it is not damaged at all. Feminine beauty.

She is the captain of the Huberian, A-rank Valkyrie Wuliangta Himeko of Destiny.

At this moment, hundreds of Honkai Beasts rushed forward and attacked one after another, intertwining around her into a chaotic, urgent and suffocating Shura battlefield.But her movements are as swift as a cheetah and as agile as an antelope. She walks quickly with her feet, slashes with her waist and arms, and perfectly controls the rhythm of the battlefield, making the Houkai beasts around her stretch their necks like puppets on a string. stamp.

Looking down from above, the fiery red figure is like a sharp knife cutting wantonly in the enemy's formation, like a tornado causing blood rain in the white waves, like the most skilled dancer calmly dancing under the fangs and sharp blades, like a The dancing flames burned everything around them.

bang bang bang bang...

I don't know how long it took before Ji Zi's figure whirled like a whirlwind, the giant sword danced wildly around her body, whizzing across the battlefield, and a dozen or so Honkai beasts around her were chopped and flew by the thick giant sword at the same time, turning into blossoming The bewitching blood flower exploded in mid-air.

Then the figure paused, the giant sword stopped, and with a bang, it was stamped heavily on the ground, splashing circles of ripples in the pool of blood.
