Some things, when you ask the big shots, they might wonder why you can't do such "simple" things.
For Fu Hua, she had too many means to deal with aerial units: rubbing Ki waves for long-range attacks, using Edge of Taixuan to blast people down from the sky and then strike them, changing into the [Shadow Knight] Battlesuit to take off on the spot. If that didn't work, she could even use [Fenghuang Down] to burn her own memories, briefly returning to the [Immortal Phoenix] form and relying on her strength to fly freely...
"Wait, according to your precise manipulation of Edge of Taixuan, isn't flying with a sword very simple?"
Facing Fu Hua's question, Luo Lin spread her hands helplessly. "First of all, I don't know the technique of flying with Edge of Taixuan yet; secondly, my Honkai energy reserves are not enough to both fly and fight at the same time."
Yes, Luo Lin's own Honkai energy reserves were only at the normal level of A-rank, which was indeed a bit less compared to those with solid S-rank abilities, MANTIS Soldiers and Herrscher.
Thanks to the [Moon Ring], its long-lasting Honkai energy conversion function provided her with a lot of convenience, but in the face of the high-energy scene of "combat in flight," perhaps only the [Moon Ring] in "White Heat Mode" could afford to play a role.
But "White Heat Mode" couldn't be activated for long, which was very awkward—she couldn't just fly for a while and then perform a set of looping exercises to accumulate enough SP to unleash a big move, could she?
This was still based on Luo Lin's own superior performance, accumulating energy relatively quickly. If it were someone like Durandal, with a slower SP accumulation rate, she might directly fall to the ground like a pancake.
"The technique of flying with a sword is very simple. I'll teach you right now... As for the problem of insufficient Honkai energy reserves... Wait until we confirm Raiden Mei and Kiana's situation stabilizes, and then come with me to Mount Taixu."
Fu Hua felt it necessary to take some time to return to her hometown. She might be able to find the "Xuanyuan Sword" wrapped in oiled paper from the vegetable fields behind the mountain.
The [Key of Domination·Xuanyuan Sword] allowed people to manipulate Honkai energy in the environment for various operations, indirectly increasing the holder's Honkai energy reserves, and could also be matched with people, transforming into a form suitable for the holder's combat.
The bracers Fu Hua once held, the [Grip of Tai Xu], were transformed by the [Key of Domination]; Cheng Lixue's was transformed into the long sword [Water's Edge]; Ji Lin, being more straightforward, wielded a giant [Xuanyuan Sword] that could be used while riding on horseback.
Having Luo Lin wield this should solve a large part of the problem of insufficient Honkai energy reserves.
"In fact, I found that after someone with talent learns Edge of Taixuan, they will be given a [Xuanyuan Sword]... It's just that there are fewer and fewer such people. In the past few decades, apart from Lixue, no good seedlings have appeared."
Fu Hua's expression dimmed, she gently patted Luo Lin's shoulder and said softly, "Also, thank you, Luo Lin, for helping me recover a lot of memories, especially those related to Lixue..."
Luo Lin nodded, "Well... It's nothing. If possible, I'll try to help you remember more things."
"Haha, I won't force it. Let it be." Fu Hua chuckled and beckoned Luo Lin and the others to go to the cafeteria together, finding a spacious table to start dinner.
Because they had trained hard in the afternoon, everyone ate a bit more. But Kiana who possible a big appetite appeared particularly exaggerated. She brought over a mountain of food all at once, then swept it away like a whirlwind, startling the Valkyries around her.
In the evening, Luo Lin returned to the dormitory. After reading the textbooks for a while, she called "Seele" in the Sea of Quanta.
"Good evening, Seele. I hope both of you are awake now."
"Good evening, Sister Luo Lin." Seele said very obediently, "The other me just woke up not long ago."
"How did your observation of Bronya go this afternoon?"
Seele recalled the figure she saw in the training ground in the afternoon and hesitated, saying, "She... wasn't very good, but not particularly bad either."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of Bronya, and I'm also actively looking for ways to bring you both over..."
"Luo Lin, you suddenly appeared in the Sea of Quanta yesterday. What happened?"
Veliona's question had been brewing for a whole day, and she straightforwardly asked it.
Luo Lin briefly explained what happened last night and concluded, "It was an accident that happened during the research on that body... By the way, do you have any thoughts or discoveries about this phenomenon?"
"...Luo Lin, you better transform into that... [Stygian Nymph] you mentioned." Veliona said somewhat awkwardly, "It sounds weird to say that..."
Luo Lin complied readily, switching to the role card: "And then?"
"Your appearance last night was too sudden. We were just surprised and didn't do anything else." Veliona said, "How about trying to reproduce the accident that happened last night today and see if you can project your consciousness into the Sea of Quanta again?"
"Okay."
Luo Lin closed her eyes and began to ponder the feeling she had when the accident happened last night...
Then she heard the frightened voices of Senti and Seele in her ears.
"Hey, be careful! Don't blow up the house!"
"Sister Luo Lin! Be careful!"
When the Valkyrie opened her eyes, she found that the pitch-black domain had already submerged the dormitory, and she had almost completed the ultimate move of [Stygian Nymph].
She smiled awkwardly, retracting the overflowing power back into her body. "Sorry, it was a bit intense just now..."
Seele nodded in confusion, but Veliona heard something from this sentence, "Were you fighting last night? Is it inside your strange system?"
"Uh, after all, no one will die, and real combat is the best practice method."
Luo Lin closed her eyes again. This time, she controlled her power and began to search for the feeling of synchronizing with the Sea of Quanta.
It was like warm water enveloping her body; it was like dandelions floating in the air.
At this moment, Luo Lin's consciousness was particularly clear, thanks to the help of the Edge of Taixuan's realm of "Blade Mantra· Form."
She could capture the changes in her emotions more finely and the quantum power that changed with the fluctuations of emotions.
Gradually, the girl heard the sound of waves in her ears, and she used quantum energy as a thread to pull herself in the direction of the sound.
Then, like drilling out of a narrow pipe, everything suddenly became clear!
"Splash~"
Luo Lin opened her eyes and looked at the undulating "waves" around her, as well as the figure beside her that was like a twin, and smiled.
"It worked!"
"Um, Luo Lin, Sister...?" Seele's voice was a bit hesitant.
Luo Lin put her hands on her hips and replied, "That's right, it's me. What's wrong?"
"You look like a doll now, Sister Luo Lin."
Luo Lin lowered her head and saw her reflection on the "sea surface."
"Wow, where did this three-headed ELF come from?"
