"One night, it's pretty fast"

"Dong'er, it was my master who helped me transfer the space so quickly that I could come back so quickly. ”

As soon as his gaze recovered, Ye Yixi saw the unruly brown-haired boy at first sight.

"It just so happens that I haven't done the report yet, and you'll hand it over to you if you're the boss. ”

patted Ye Yixi's shoulder, and before Ye Yixi could refuse, Dong'er had already turned around and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

"What a lazy assistant"

With a casual complaint, Ye Yixi walked through the courtyard and corridor into the room with the sign "Idlers are not allowed to enter".

Amid the trivial reporting work, sacred sacrifices, blessing ceremonies, and other tedious things related to the sacrifice, the night quietly descended on the land of the village.

Under the starry sky

"Overnight, after the shift change, just leave it to me and Ouyang Zhen. ”

Hearing Dong'er's words from below, Ye Yixi jumped lightly from the top of the big tree at the entrance of the village.

"Oh~, be careful. Although this is the area in charge of [Morning Light], it should not be too relaxed. ”

Asking the sleepy-eyed and spiritless two, Ye Yixi and Ling Fei and Moka, who were replaced by Hongri and Lelia, rushed to the rest place of the escort team in the village.

Finding that only Ye Yixi came down from the tree alone, Moka showed an unconcealed surprise.

"Huh~, you were the only one on duty just now. ”

"You just found out...... Could it be that you just been sleeping?"

"Discovered"

"I don't want to be discovered, so I take down the leaves that stuck to my face. ”

Ye Yixi, who was helpless, shifted his gaze to Ling Fei, who had never spoken.

"Huh~, it's really the same as I thought......"

Holding back the anger in his heart, Ye Yixi shook his head and brought back Ling Fei, who was about to hit the wall while walking with his eyes closed.

"Both of them are like this, so Ruan Yu definitely doesn't need to talk about it......"

Putting Ling Fei into Moka's hands, Ye Yixi and the two of them separated and rushed to the mansion where the sacrificial team lived.

After Ye Yixi left, Ouyang Zhen immediately became in a state of high spirits.

"Dong'er, do you remember the agreement during the day? Hey, Dong'er, hey-"

Seeing Dong'er's eyes closed tightly and sleeping soundly under the big tree, Ouyang Zhen kept shaking Dong'er's body angrily.

"Damn~, I don't mean to wake up at all...... Don't blame me if that's the case."

Ouyang Zhen, who gave up shaking his body, had a dangerous glint in his eyes......

"Drums, urns, golden hammers—"

The intertwined spiritual power of gold and red gathered in both hands and turned into a pair of golden sledgehammers connected by red chains.

The golden sledgehammer was waved mercilessly, but Ouyang Zhen did not show any happy expression, but instead sweated coldly in Dong'er's eyes like ice, and he kept feeling extremely glad that he had stopped in time.

"Ouyang Zhen! I thought it was the enemy who came to sneak attack."

Returning to her usual bohemian appearance, Dong'er casually swung her hand and withdrew the Ice Arrow and countless irregular Ice Blades that blocked Ouyang Zhen's movements.

"So what's the matter with waking me up in such a hurry?"

"Wake up, you're not asleep at all, are you? ”

After complaining in an unheard voice, Ouyang Zhen withdrew his machine spirit into his body and spoke.

"I just want you to fulfill your promise during the day today. ”

"Understood, let's change places, otherwise it will destroy the sacredness of the sacrifice. ”

Dong'er, who yawned without energy, took Ouyang Zhen in the direction away from the village.

"Captain Hongri, is it okay to let Dong'er and Ouyang Zhen leave like this?"

"Don't worry, even if we leave together, it'll be fine. ”

"Captain—"

Helpless, Leilia could only follow the captain who didn't listen to her advice, and quietly followed Dong'er and Ouyang Zhen together.

After thousands of meters away from the village, Dong'er finally stopped.

"There is no spiritual vein connected to the route chosen by the sacrifice, so you should be able to rest assured......"

After releasing the spiritual power from her feet into the ground to explore the spiritual veins, Dong'er made up her mind to choose a place to fight.

Dong'er's breezy words caused a big stir in Ouyang Zhen's heart.

"Can you detect the spiritual veins?"

"Don't be surprised, it's just something that can be done very easily. Do you want me to teach you?"

"No"

"Really?"

“...... Not for now."

In the face of Dong'er's powerful proposal, Ouyang Zhen's determination wavered.

"What a lovely kid...... It's not too early to start, and I'm still ready for bed."

After a few steps away, Dong'er's body overflowed with pure white extremely cold spiritual power.

"It's really a senior ...... full of personal charm"

Before the floating spiritual power fluctuations emanating from Dong'er's body, Ouyang Zhen was so excited in his heart that his body trembled.

The drum urn golden hammer appeared again, and Ouyang Zhen preemptively threw the sledgehammer directly at Dong'er with his right hand.

"The strength is good, but the attack trajectory is too simple......"

Wrapping his right hand with pure white spiritual power, Dong'er put his right hand on the side of the sledgehammer and pushed the golden sledgehammer aside with a slight force.

"Huh, it seems that it's not just the strength, it's also quite fast......"

Dong'er, who turned back again, found that Ouyang Zhen's figure had disappeared.

"Xuanbing First Skill: Xuanbing Wall-"

The pure white instrument spirit array appeared under his feet, and the pure white extremely cold spiritual power instantly transformed into a hard barrier to protect Dong'er.

The sneak attack failed, and Ouyang Zhen changed to attack from the front.

"Drum Urn Golden Hammer Second Skill: Drum Tremolo—"

Looking at the drum urn golden hammer swung at him, Dong'er neither felt the huge oppressive force in his imagination, nor did he hear the sound of the drum urn golden hammer and Xuan Bing colliding with each other.

"No...... right"

The spiritual power in his body was running quickly to protect his brain, but Dong'er was one step slower after all.

The deafening sound of the collision of the machine spirit turned into a violent spiritual power fluctuation and suddenly exploded in his mind, and Dong'er's eyes were flawed, and his unstable consciousness and control of Xuan Bing were flawed, and the ice wall turned into pure white spiritual power particles and dissipated in the blink of an eye.

"Drum Urn Golden Hammer First Skill: Vitality Overlord—"

The golden light flashed under his feet, and Ouyang Zhen's moving speed was doubled, and he rushed in front of Dong'er in the blink of an eye.

Bang –

There was no obstacle, and Dong'er's body turned into ice chips and flew away in the blink of an eye under the golden hammer of the drum urn.

"When did you use a stand-in?"

"I used ...... from the beginning"

In the pure white spiritual power cold air, Dong'er appeared in the position before she moved.

"After all, when fighting against someone who doesn't know the strength, it is the first task to use various methods to figure out the opponent's fighting style and strength. ”

After the teaching, Dong'er also began to fight seriously.

"Xuan Bing Innate Skills: Shapeshifting, Ice Hammer—"

The pure white spiritual power gathered in his hand and gradually condensed, and in the blink of an eye, a pair of pure white ice sledgehammers similar to the golden hammers of the drum urn took shape.

"What? This can do ...... too."

Although he was surprised, Ouyang Zhen's movements were not slow, and the drum urn and golden hammer were raised, and Dong'er couldn't even see the trajectory of the ice hammer clearly.

"Sorry to lie to you, this is also a doppelganger......"

"What?"

"Xuan Bing's Third Skill: Ice Blast—"

The pure white light was shining, and in the next moment, Dong'er burst open.

In the violent impact of the explosion, Ouyang Zhen's body rushed straight into the air, drew a graceful arc, and fell back to the ground.

"Did you defend it?...... Could it be that golden light?"

The remnants of the pure white explosion Zhong Dong'er reappeared, looking at Ouyang Zhen, who was uninjured in the distance, and began to think back to what happened before the explosion.

"The Golden Defense was actually broken in the face of such an explosion......"

Looking at the dimly lit drum urn golden hammer in his hand, Ouyang Zhen became more and more fascinated by Dong'er.

"Transfiguration, sword—"

The pure white spiritual power conjured up a sharp sword in his hand, and Dong'er's speed of movement was doubled again compared to when he used the ice hammer before.

"It's hard to see not only the trajectory of the sword, but also the trajectory of the person's movement."

At this time, Ouyang Zhen was no longer worried about where to attack, because he could only barely stop Xia Dong'er from swinging the ice sword when he was concentrating on defense.

"It's true that they can't keep up with my speed, and it's hard to stop my attacks. But it still stopped my attack, and it had a very unnatural feeling. In that case......"

Withdrawing the ice sword in his hand into his body, Dong'er's right shoulder appeared with a pure white instrument spirit array, and at the same time, his palms turned into a white jade and released an extremely cold aura.

"Ice Fourth Skill: Ice Palm—"

Seeing the pure white light rushing towards him, Ouyang Zhen had an early warning of life-threatening in his mind.

'Sure enough, the gap between me and a genius like Yixi and Dong'er is irreparable'

The sudden deflation in his heart made the drum urn golden hammer in Ouyang Zhen's hand, which had lost its light, even more dim.

[It's a shame to give up so easily]

The same voice as himself resounded in his mind, and Ouyang Zhen's unique black and red hair color began to change. The golden spiritual power flickered, and the black hair gradually covered it with a brilliant golden light.

"The breath of the awakening of the god-level instrument spirit? Sure enough, he is worthy of being the chief of the Secret Academy. Let me see how much power the descendants of the Golden Hammer and the Chains of Punishment can inherit......"

Feeling the happiness she hadn't felt for a long time from the bottom of her heart, Dong'er couldn't help laughing out loud and struck Ouyang Zhen with both palms at the position of Ouyang Zhen's heart.

"Drumming Urn Golden Hammer Innate Skill: Golden Defense-"

Brilliant golden light overflowed from the body, relying on the invisible light to turn into an impregnable defensive barrier.

Pure white and golden spiritual power kept splashing outward, and Dong'er's cold palm could no longer advance a single bit in front of the barrier of golden light.

However, the stalemate did not last long.

"Even if it's not fully awakened, it's worthy of the power of a god-level artifact spirit......"

The golden light was magnificent, and Dong'er's body was shocked into the air.

The pure white spiritual power was transformed into a transparent state, and even in front of the overflowing power of the god-level machine spirit, Dong'er was still in an unharmed state.

"I can't hold on so soon, but it's funny. Ouyang Zhen?"
