360: Chapter 360 You asked him to help me!
No, it's impossible.
This is absolutely not something an Epic Rank [Card Maker] could achieve.
Wen Yan's rationality was frantically resisting this conclusion.
He would rather believe that something was wrong with his own perception.
Too many strange things had happened in Linzhou lately.
First, there were two terrifying city-wide electric shocks, followed by various inconceivable and bizarre cases, and now even the legendary Divine Revelation Mission had appeared.
Perhaps... perhaps just now, some unspeakable existence really did just happen to pass by and accidentally erased everything?
Yes, it must be so.
Deep down, Wen Yan found a barely acceptable explanation for himself.
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, trying to calm his still-pounding heart... Inside the observation deck, a frantic round of inspections and discussions took place.
Team Leader Liu and his team finally reached a conclusion that even they found somewhat absurd.
"Occasional spatial data overflow led to a chain reaction of equipment crashes and energy annihilation phenomena."
Simply put, the system had a minor bug.
Although the consequences of this bug were somewhat serious, theoretically, it was just a bug.
Team Leader Liu cleared his throat and re-entered the Duel Arena with several staff members, his face wearing an expression of sincere apology.
"Mr. Lin Yu, Miss Lin Yao, I am very sorry! Due to a minor technical issue with our arena, that accident occurred just now. We deeply apologize!"
He bowed deeply.
"We have carried out emergency repairs and upgraded the arena once again! This time, it's absolutely at the highest specifications, and we guarantee no further issues will occur!"
Lin Yu looked at them, feeling somewhat helpless.
How many upgrades had this been already?
Still, this was fine as it saved him the trouble of explaining much.
Before he could speak, Lin Yao beside him had already recovered.
Under the continuous effect of [Vitality Nourishment], the injuries in her body caused by the spell backlash had already healed.
The young girl's pale face regained its rosy color, and in those bright eyes, the lingering fear and confusion had faded, replaced by an even more fervent fighting spirit.
She pulled her hand away from Lin Yu's, stood up straight again, and clenched her small fists until they cracked.
"Brother! Let's go again!"
Lin Yu's movements froze.
He looked at his sister's excited expression, as if she wasn't the one who had almost been torn apart by energy just now, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Had this girl not been beaten enough?
Or did I strike too hard just now and freeze her brain?
His original plan was to use an absolute power gap to make her clearly realize reality.
As it turned out, he used too much force, causing an information gap that left her completely unaware of what had happened.
Now, her injuries were healed, and she was back to full health.
Looking at Lin Yao's stubborn, unyielding expression, Lin Yu sighed.
It seemed the lesson had to continue.
But this time, he had to change the method.
He could no longer use that kind of power that defied common sense.
He had to control his strength a bit, making sure she lost clearly without causing the worldviews of those on the observation deck to collapse again.
Simply put, "just the right amount of force to leave her dazed without damaging her brain."
Hmm, he had to grasp this degree of control well.
Just enough to defeat Lin Yao, but not so much that they couldn't understand what was happening at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu nodded.
"Fine."
His answer was just one word, but it made Lin Yao's eyes light up instantly.
"This time, this time I truly, truly, absolutely will not hold back!"
Lin Yu rolled his eyes at her; she spoke as if her previous momentum had been holding back... Arriving at the new arena, as soon as both sides stood firm, the young girl gave a soft shout, and her aura surged once more.
But soon, Lin Yao paused her channeling.
Lin Yao's action stunned everyone inside and outside the arena.
That majestic aura that had just ignited came to an abrupt halt, like a rooster being grabbed by the neck.
She stopped?
Why?
Inside the observation deck, Team Leader Liu had just picked up his water cup when his movements froze in mid-air.
The analysts beside him also craned their necks, their faces full of confusion.
"What's going on? The energy channeling was interrupted?"
"Is it because the previous backlash hasn't fully healed? That shouldn't be right, didn't Mr. Lin Yu already treat her?"
"Could it be... she gave up?"
However, Lin Yao's next move caused everyone's jaws to drop to the floor.
She didn't admit defeat, nor did she look at Lin Yu.
Instead, she turned her head and quickly scanned the spectator seats at the edge of the Duel Arena.
Finally, her gaze fixed on a tall figure.
Zhao Tianyang.
"Big Guy!"
The young girl's crisp voice echoed in the empty Duel Arena.
"Come help me!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place erupted in an uproar.
Inside the observation deck, Team Leader Liu spat out a mouthful of water, choking until his face turned red.
"Cough, cough... Wh-what? Two on one? A Mythic Rank fighting an Epic Rank, and it's two on one?"
An analyst beside him subconsciously retorted.
"At the very beginning, wasn't that what Lin Yu said..."
Another person immediately chimed in.
"You believe whatever he says? How can that be the same? That was him being arrogant!"
"But this time is different... Miss Lin Yao is also a Mythic Rank, and her strength isn't weak! Why would she personally call for backup? Wasn't she just acting like she wanted to duel to the end?"
The entire observation deck instantly turned into a noisy marketplace.
All the analysts were in an uproar, with various speculations rife. Their newly repaired equipment hadn't even started warming up before the situation in the arena took a sharp turn, racing in a direction they completely failed to understand.
What was this?
Couldn't win a sibling duel, so she's calling for backup on the spot?
At the edge of the Duel Arena, Zhao Tianyang, who had been called out, still stood like an iron tower.
He had just figured out the profound meaning of naming moves and had now returned to his usual proud demeanor.
Therefore, he didn't move.
There wasn't even a hint of an aura fluctuation.
Facing Lin Yao's invitation, he turned a deaf ear, his calm eyes crossing half the arena to land directly on Lin Yu.
He was waiting.
Waiting for an order.
Only Lin Yu's command was the sole criterion for his actions.
This silent posture spoke louder than any words. The noise on the observation deck gradually subsided as everyone understood.
Zhao Tianyang, seems to be seeking Lin Yu's opinion?
Lin Yao also realized this, stomped her feet indignantly, and turned to shout at Lin Yu.
"Brother! Make him help me!"
Lin Yu looked at his sister's self-righteous manner and suddenly burst into laughter.
This little stubborn mule.
He finally understood.
In that moment of absolute freezing just now, Lin Yao must have sensed something.
Perhaps she didn't know exactly what happened, but that fear originating from life's instincts was enough to make her understand that the gap between her and her brother was so vast it couldn't be measured by common sense.
But she refused to accept it.
