Chapter 123 Feint to the East, Attack in the West
Lily was a little depressed.
Ever since Luo Xin—Luo Xi's younger sister—awakened her most fundamental magical property, "space-time interference," Baihe has felt restricted in every way.
She comes from another era and is naturally suppressed by this world. Even though she was the top witch in her own time, her power is suppressed to less than one-tenth of its original value here.
Moreover, the information about this world was initially given to her by the Initial State of the Dawn. In the timeline where the Initial State of the Dawn was located, Luo Xin was killed at the beginning, so the Initial State of the Dawn was vague about many things about Luo Xin.
Now, Luo Xin's most fundamental magical property, "space-time interference," has awakened. In addition, since she is a witch of this world, she has the advantage of being on her home turf. Even though she is only an E-rank witch, she can contend with Baihe, a C-rank witch, or even a witch close to the advanced level.
As for intelligence, it's clear that Luo Xin, who possesses the magical property of interfering with spacetime, knows far more than she does.
In terms of both strength and intelligence, Yuri has lost its advantage.
Luo Xin had already brought her to the training field. The field was a mess, the result of Luo Xin's previous battle with Qiangwei.
The training grounds are not yet repaired, and now Lily is going to fight Luo Xin again, but what's the difference? Lily and Rose are simply different manifestations of the same person.
Luo Xin stood in the training field and picked up a steel bar: "Let me help you cool down."
From the way she picked up the steel bar, Baihe understood that Luo Xin's so-called "venting" meant fighting.
"Let me explain the rules," Luo Xin began. "We will use magic to enhance an object as a weapon and then fight. The body cannot be protected with magic. The first side loses when its injuries become too severe and it has to use magic to repair its body."
Lily gave Luo Xin a deep look.
Using magic to enhance objects is a relatively advanced technique.
Even the lowest-ranking witch possesses at least one magical characteristic. Each witch's magical characteristic is different, as is the quality of her magical power, and there is an upper limit to how much magical power an object can bear. When strengthening an object, one must balance the output of magical power and adjust the proportions of magical characteristics, thus requiring extremely rich experience.
If the properties of magic are suitable for strengthening objects, that's fine, but Luo Xin's properties are the interference of two kinds of matter, 'crushing' and 'cutting,' as well as complete 'spacetime interference'... Strengthening objects? It's good enough if he doesn't destroy them.
However, since Luo Xin dared to bring it up, it meant she was confident, so Baihe also became serious.
She picked up a steel bar from the ruins. Because objects have a limit to their load-bearing capacity, especially when imbued with magical properties, Lily carefully released her magic and attached it to the steel bar.
Immediately, the two men's steel bars collided.
Luo Xin's expression shifted slightly: "You've attached the two characteristics, 'Fate Perception' and 'Consciousness Interference'?"
(The high-ranking yuri witch's combat skills are still intact...)
Luo Xin thought to herself.
Lily did not answer. Putting aside the two properties attached to the steel bars, with her magic power approaching that of a high-level witch, combined with the force of tens of tons, Luo Xin's steel bars should have been broken directly.
But when the two steel bars collided, Baihe immediately realized that Luo Xin's reinforcement of objects was even more extreme.
If she perfectly attached magical properties and distributed the magic evenly on the steel bars, then Luo Xin used spacetime interference to completely solidify the steel bars, strengthening them to the point of near indestructibility.
Lily quickly realized what was happening and asked Luo Xin, "You attached 'space-time interference' to the steel bars too?"
(This is indeed a technique only a high-ranking witch could use...)
Lily realized that Luo Xin must possess the memories of a high-level witch.
Neither witch said anything more and continued their battle.
……
Luo Xi was lying peacefully in bed at this moment, while Qiangwei sat quietly by the bedside watching her.
Ever since Luo Xi prayed to God to save her, Rose seemed to have lost interest and stopped teasing her as much. Rose's "little tricks" on her also decreased.
Something must have happened...
Although the apartment was well soundproofed, Luo Xi could still sense that someone was talking outside the door. After the person left, Qiangwei truly lost interest in her.
I'm really curious about what's happening outside.
If she weren't currently suppressed by magic and unable to use it, she would have immediately known the situation outside the door once she used "consciousness interference".
Rose's attention seemed to be drawn to someone else; although her gaze was still on her, her mind was no longer on the other person.
Despite this, Rose still refused to release the magical suppression on her body.
Not long after, Luo Xi heard the sound of metal clashing outside the window. Was someone practicing swordsmanship?
She thought of her "supreme sword path". How could she be absent from sword practice? If she was stronger than the swordsman, she could give pointers as a senior; if she was weaker, she could humbly seek guidance as a junior, showing her dignified and unyielding demeanor.
She couldn't sit still any longer. No, she was still under the spell of the rose and was lying in bed, or rather, she couldn't stay in bed any longer.
Considering how young she was, it took her more than two weeks to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. How could she possibly sleep during the prime of her cultivation years?
"Xiao Xi, you must remember this," Rose looked at her solemnly, interrupting her thoughts, "Don't treat witches as tools or weapons, and even more so, don't treat yourself as a tool or weapon."
Yes, Rose has confirmed that if Xi currently sees herself as a tool or weapon, then under the influence of causal interference, even if she has not fully awakened this characteristic, Xi will indeed change toward this conclusion and eventually become a tool or weapon!
Luo Xi pretended to agree seriously, but her heart was itching with desire: she wanted to go out and practice swordsmanship, and she wanted to fencing with people outside!
……
Baihe was speechless as she looked at Luo Xin lying on the ground.
At first, Lily thought that Luo Xin must have some hidden trump card if he dared to propose the method of "using magic to enhance objects in battle".
However, Luo Xin collapsed after being hit in the forehead by a steel bar.
Indeed, Luo Xin's "space-time interference" is very strong and she uses it skillfully, but she is ultimately only an E-level witch.
An E-rank witch is merely a beginner witch, fundamentally different from a mid-level witch. Whether in terms of magical reserves or quality, Luo Xin is far inferior to her, let alone compared to someone approaching a high-level witch—the gap is like an insurmountable chasm.
Moreover, magic itself has a strengthening effect on the body. For example, Luo Xi, through deliberate training at the D-rank stage, has already approached the level of a C-rank witch in terms of physical strength, power, and reaction. However, this is also because she did not deliberately train; otherwise, the gap in pure physical qualities would be even greater.
Luo Xin's head had been smashed open. Although "Fate Perception" told Baihe that Luo Xin would recover, but...
While manipulating Luo Xi, she also bullied her sister and even smashed her sister's head... She felt like a scumbag.
Moreover, according to the information synchronized with Rose's consciousness, Luo Xi was excitedly eager to watch them fight. If she came down and saw her sister get completely destroyed…
For some reason, Lily felt that she had fallen into a trap.
They fell for Luo Xin's feint!
Yes, Baihe has realized that from the very beginning, Luo Xin's goal was to prevent her from interfering with Luo Xi.
First, he directly went to interfere with Qiangwei, and after being stopped, he dragged her to the training ground to fight. In essence, he was still indirectly interfering with Qiangwei by influencing her, so that Qiangwei could not concentrate on influencing Luo Xi, thereby reducing interference with Luo Xi.
Luo Xin, this witch, the witch of the ninth era, is indeed not to be underestimated.
