The surroundings suddenly darkened.
The world beca pitch-black, without a sliver of light.
Su Ruan stood still, blankly staring into the darkness before her.
It felt abnormal.
Reason was reminding her, yet her body seed to adapt to the darkness, even wanting to ld into it.
Her body beca so light, she felt like she couldn’t find her own center of gravity.
She seed to beco her own spiritual power tendrils, drifting in the darkness, attempting to find a glimr of light.
But she drifted for a very long ti without finding a single ray of light, gradually seeming to forget many important things.
For instance, who she was, and why she was here.
Su Ruan drifted in so confusion, as her thoughts and consciousness were slowly drained away; she didn’t know how to think, nor did she feel inclined to anymore.
mories were being extracted, rging with the boundless darkness.
Until, a na seed to vanish from her mind...
Su Ruan felt a sharp pain emanating from sowhere in her body.
[No, don’t.]
Don’t take away that na.
Don’t let it be extracted from her life.
Her body seed to tremble, shaking madly and intensely.
The sharp pain engulfed her entire body, as if a pair of giant hands tugged at her pain nerves.
Don’t take that na away.
This seed to be the only thought left in her body.
But, what was that na?
Who was he?
Su Ruan blankly looked ahead, her body seemingly unable to drift.
She seed to have beco a void.
The feeling of pain slowly receded, or rather, she seed to slowly vanish.
[Baby.]
A strange voice suddenly exploded in her mind.
Su Ruan’s eyes snapped open.
Lu Shinian!
That na is Lu Shinian!
A faint light erged from the darkness, and Su Ruan raised her hand to catch that beam of light in her palm.
More and more threads of light drifted out. Her gaze sharpened, she rallied her spiritual power, captured the threads, and devoured them.
She still couldn’t rember her own na, nor why she was here.
But, she absolutely did not want to forget Lu Shinian.
The threads of light increased, and she devoured them at an accelerating pace.
She didn’t know how long it took, but after consuming the last thread of light, the mories surged in, filling her mind.
In the simulation, a pile of Military Tokens that had ford a small hill suddenly broke apart into ashes in full view.
With a breeze, the ashes scattered.
Only then did the combatants notice a mber of the Insect Race nearby.
On the back of the Insect Race stood a young girl.
The girl wore a golden half-face mask, revealing a delicate chin and lips tinged with a hint of blood.
The wind lifted her red dress, revealing slender, creamy legs, her milk-white skin contrasting with the nearly garish red, exuding a nuanced and complex aura.
Though her figure was delicate, even weak, those eyes glead wickedly, like a bloodthirsty sword long clouded by dust, finally turning manic upon bloodshed, yet retaining a hint of restraint from the last shreds of humanity.
Under her feet was a mighty and inscrutable Insect Race creature.
Soone recognized it as a Nine Fla Crab, known only from textbooks.
Yet the mighty Nine Fla Crab willingly served as the girl’s mount, tendrils fluttering in the breeze seeming almost fawning and cautious.
The girl’s beauty was astonishing, yet it dissuaded even the slightest thoughts of offense.
All they wanted was to kneel down and bow to her authority.
Bodies rigid, even the air seed frozen.
The surroundings silent and eerily still, even heartbeats were muffled.
With a "crack", sothing shattered...
The live stream abruptly ended, and the participating combatants were booted from the instance.
So hurriedly reviewed the instance records, only to find a few more words at the end of the instance titled [Guisse]: Annihilated.
The Guisse instance, a na of exceptional beauty, personally created by Lu Shinian for the Military Academy League, was thus annihilated.
No one knew why, much like no one knew who the girl was.
Those ejected kept asking around about the girl’s identity but no one knew. Eventually, so speculated that the girl might be the final trial in the Military Academy League.
In simple terms, the girl could just be a virtual character, a string of data created by Lu Shinian.
After all, in reality, no one could step on a Nine Fla Crab and not be attacked.
In their futile search, they could only watch the last segnt of the live stream again and again. Even a guru used the Second World’s character creation system to replicate her, but sadly, the imitation lacked any soul and was ridiculed by netizens.
Of course, that’s all in hindsight now.
At present, Ian, worried about Su Ruan, used his own spiritual power to destroy the instance and brought her back to [Lu Su Pavilion].
[Are you okay, Darling?] Ian’s eyes flashed with regret.
He forgot that Darling couldn’t possibly know how to consu those spiritual powers.
Fortunately, Darling is unhard, otherwise, even dying a million tis wouldn’t be enough.
Su Ruan sat on the sofa, her eyes slightly red.
She stared at Ian, who was waving his Big Clamp, raised her hand, and grasped his claw, applying slight pressure.
"Where is Lu Shinian?" she asked.
Ian was montarily dazed.
Lu Shinian? He’s heard of the na.
The human Commander who killed the Insect Queen a decade ago.
Strong, cunning in deploynt, adept at tricks, back then he had the Insect Queen wrapped around his finger.
At that ti, he was trapped in the Spiritual Domain, unclear of the events of those years, but the one who could kill the Insect Queen is not to be underestimated.
How is Darling connected to Lu Shinian?
Seeing Ian’s lack of response, Su Ruan coolly looked up, a blood mist roiling faintly in her pupils.
"Where is he?"
[Calm down, Darling.] Ian detected sothing off about Su Ruan and spun in anxiety, tentatively extending his spiritual power to soothe her.
But as soon as his spiritual power erged, it was forcefully pressed down by Su Ruan’s spiritual power.
Ian, caught off guard by the overwhelming force, received an alert from the system detecting his dangerous state, imdiately issuing a warning: [Danger detected, logging off in three seconds.]
[Three.]
Ian’s pupils constricted sharply, rushing to instruct: [Darling, don’t misbehave, I’ll be right back online!]
[One.]
Ian was ejected.
Gazing at the empty living room, Su Ruan slowly stood up.
The rampaging spiritual power wreaked havoc, tearing through the furniture, seemingly about to destroy the entire Lu Su Pavilion in the next second.
White light lit up in the living room, revealing a towering figure.
Su Ruan looked up.
