110: Chapter 110 Mutual Destruction

"So that's how it is..."

Lin Yun realized in his heart, looking at the two virtual pods that had finished closing and started emitting soft operational light effects, his interest growing even stronger.

Being able to engage in life-or-death combat infinitely close to reality without causing actual harm.

The value of this for accumulating practical combat experience and honing Combat Techniques for a Martial Artist is immeasurable!

It seems the surprises this prefecture city and the Martial Arts University have brought him go far beyond just "outstanding women."

The combination of technology and martial arts has reached such an exquisite level.

He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

Qiao Shiyu and Bai Lulu, these two arch-rivals with exceptional talent and fiery personalities.

In this completely realistic virtual world, what kind of intense sparks would they collide to create?

The indicator lights of the virtual pods lit up steadily, showing that both had successfully connected.

The huge light screen on one side of the room lit up, beginning to display the real-time combat scenes inside the two virtual pods in split-screen.

It was a simulated open area, almost identical to the practice field just a moment ago.

Two familiar figures were in the light screen, separated by a distance, facing each other from afar.

Qiao Shiyu crossed her arms, her chin raised high, her tone arrogant:

"Stinky Meatball, pick a venue. This young lady will accompany you to the end!"

Bai Lulu sneered, not being polite in the slightest, yet she didn't take advantage of her either:

"Let's just pick the Tianshui Martial Arts University plaza; I'll make you lose and be convinced!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the virtual scene changed instantly, and the familiar Martial Arts University plaza appeared beneath their feet.

The floating signs, the distant battle pavilion, and even the plants by the roadside were identical to reality, so realistic it was breathtaking.

"Begin!"

The moment the virtual referee's electronic voice finished, both of them moved!

No probing, no detours, as if they were pouring all the unvented anger and the reluctance of not having decided a winner from the previous real-life battle into this virtual world!

Two figures collided with each other like cannonballs!

Qiao Shiyu's claw wind was fierce, her silver hair trailing a stream of light as she moved at high speed.

Bai Lulu's palm technique was tricky, her fiery figure carrying astonishing explosive power.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The explosive sounds of fists and palms clashing and claw winds breaking the air were as dense as rain!

The two of them were familiar with each other's Moves, habits, and even some small mannerisms down to the bone.

Often, if the other's shoulder sank, she would know exactly where the next Move would attack.

If the other's eyes moved, she could predict the direction of the dodge.

Precisely because of this, the battle appeared even more dangerous and deadlocked!

Every attack went straight for the vitals, and every dodge was by a hair's breadth!

They fought from the center of the plaza to the edge; wherever they passed, the white floor tiles constructed virtually were trampled and cracked.

The ancient stone pillars were swept by claw winds and palm energy, leaving deep marks, and the energy sculptures were caught in the crossfire, exploding into pieces!

The two seemed to have transformed into a violent demolition crew, raging crazily on the familiar campus plaza, smashing everything into pieces!

The authenticity of the virtual world was displayed vividly at this moment.

The trajectory of flying bricks and stones, the effect of pervasive dust, the streaming light of dissipating energy...

Everything was exactly the same as the real world, except for the lack of actual material damage.

"Wow! Auntie, that 'Wind-Splitting Heaven-Tearing' Move was beautifully executed! She almost caught Lulu!"

Qiao Feifei was no longer afraid this time; instead, she pulled up a small stool and sat in front of the big light screen, watching with great interest and couldn't help but start providing commentary.

"But Lulu's 'Flowing Cloud Steps' is too much of a cheat; with a chest that big, she's still so agile..."

Su Yingxue and the others beside her were also initially attracted by this completely realistic virtual battle, watching intently.

But soon they realized that the battle between these two arch-rivals...

Seemed to have fallen into a strange cycle.

The two were too close in strength and understood each other too well; even though every Move was vicious, making the world seem to crumble, neither could do anything to the other in the short term.

"Boom—!"

In the light screen, the battle entered a white-hot stage.

The two seemed to have gotten truly fired up, no longer caring about consumption, and simultaneously unleashed their trump card Moves!

Qiao Shiyu let out a sharp cry, her Qi and blood seemingly igniting all over her body.

Her silver hair danced without wind, her claws crossed, tearing out terrifying cross-shaped wind blades, enveloping Bai Lulu with a shrill shriek!

Bai Lulu's charming face was also full of killing intent; she took a deep breath, the waves on her chest heaving.

Qiao Feifei: "Whoa!"

She pressed her palms together, then pushed them out violently.

An intensely condensed crimson palm print whistled out, meeting the cross-shaped wind blades!

"Cross Air-Splitting Kill!"

"Crimson Sun Heart-Burning Palm!"

Two immensely strong energies collided violently in mid-air!

Blinding light instantly swallowed the entire light screen, and the sound of the violent explosion resounded throughout the room.

As if they were there in person.

The light dissipated.

In the center of the virtually constructed plaza, a huge deep crater appeared.

On the edge of the crater, two figures lay quietly.

Qiao Shiyu had a scorched palm print on her chest, almost piercing through her back.

Bai Lulu's throat was a bloody mess, as if torn by a wild beast.

Mutually assured destruction.

The next second, their "corpses" turned into specks of light and dissipated.

And the plaza, which had been destroyed into a mess, seemed to have time reversed; all the cracks, rubble, and dust quickly backtracked, restoring it to its original, clean, flat, and perfectly sculpted appearance.

As if the earth-shattering destruction just now had never happened.

The virtual pod doors did not open; the battle was clearly not yet judged as finished by the participants.

Sure enough, the light screen flashed, the scene reset, and it was still that intact plaza.

Qiao Shiyu and Bai Lulu's figures reappeared at opposite ends.

"Dead Meatball! If you hadn't forced a clash at the end, my claw would have definitely torn through your protective Qi and blood first!" Qiao Shiyu's voice sounded exasperated.

"Heh! Little Bean, what can you do besides being stubborn? My 'Crimson Sun Palm' was clearly a fraction faster than your claws! It's you who were slow to react!" Bai Lulu immediately retorted.

"Bullshit!"

"You're the one full of shit!"

The two of them, while criticizing each other's "stupid" decisions and "lousy" Moves in the previous battle, charged at each other again like fighting cocks!

"Bang! Boom! Thud!"

A new round of violent demolition... oh no, intense combat, began again.

Lin Yun and the others looked at each other.

"Do... do they often do this?"

Shen Youqing couldn't help but ask Qiao Feifei, who was already unfazed beside her.

Qiao Feifei didn't know where she pulled out another bag of special snacks from; of course, the bill was charged to the two people in the pods.

Munching away, she nodded:

"Yeah, often."

"Once they start fighting, they get carried away and won't stop until a winner is decided, but they never seem to be able to decide a winner. In the end, it's either mutual destruction or they fight until the virtual pod's protection mechanism forces a disconnection."

Ten minutes later.

Another violent explosion occurred in the light screen. After the light dissipated, two "corpses" appeared on the plaza again, along with an even larger crater.
