Chapter 367: Chapter 257: Relationship Breakthrough, Be a Sigma Male; I’m Coming to Your Room Tonight
PSST...
On the second floor of the small training camp, two Divine Domain Connection Pods slowly opened.
As the white mist inside dissipated, the two figures that emerged were none other than Zhang Yi and Lu Mei.
Zhang Yi was the first to step out of his Divine Domain Connection Pod. His expression was calm, though a hint of contemplation could be seen in his eyes.
Lu Mei, on the other hand, followed close behind.
Though her face was as composed as ever, a complex mix of emotions flickered within her cold, clear eyes:
shock, unwillingness to accept defeat, and above all, the realization of the gap between herself and Zhang Yi.
As the two of them emerged, a brief silence fell over the second floor of the training camp.
After the short silence, Lu Mei, who had initiated this virtual divine war, was the first to speak.
"This virtual divine war has successfully shown me my own shortcomings."
Lu Mei’s voice was still as cold as ever,
but compared to before the virtual divine war,
Zhang Yi could now hear the sincerity in her words.
"Even though I completely handed over command of the Sunbird Clan Army to the Heroic Clan’s Lifuyi in the final stages, the tide of battle didn’t turn."
"My Heroic Clan’s Lifuyi weighed the pros and cons and, faced with the lingering Forbidden Curse Spell—Blazing Furnace—
ultimately chose to retreat."
"But in the end, we still lost."
Zhang Yi nodded slightly, then shook his head.
"You can’t look at it that way."
"The Heroic Clan’s Lifuyi made the right choice at the time.
"Even my Legion Commander, Feiyana, would have made the same decision to retreat."
"A Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse Spell really can’t be cast consecutively."
"And as the Mage Captain, the Heroic Clan’s Joy Pala was temporarily unable to fight again after suffering a dual backlash."
"Halting the offensive, making a strategic retreat, and waiting for the Fire Attribute Magic Power in that area to recover was indeed the best option."
"The only thing she miscalculated was that after the Fire Attribute Magic Power floating in nature was completely drained from the central zone and the area near the Dwarf War Fortress,"
"it unbelievably took two full days and still hadn’t fully recovered."
Hearing Zhang Yi’s words, which sounded almost like he was trying to comfort her,
Lu Mei’s heart warmed.
However, her pride still compelled her to continue speaking:
"But the Heroic Spirit Corps you sent out was just as shocking!"
Lu Mei looked up at Zhang Yi, her eyes glinting with admiration.
It was an expression Zhang Yi found very satisfying.
But besides admiration, Lu Mei’s expression also held a desire for answers.
"How does your Heroic Spirit Corps have two Ninth Level Heroic Spirits?"
"Did you capture them from someone else in a divine war?"
"Or were they your own Clan members who died in your Divine Realm?"
"If I had known this earlier, I never would have resolved to fight you!"
"Wasn’t I just asking for humiliation?"
Lu Mei laughed at her own expense.
"No comment!"
Zhang Yi shook his head.
"That’s my trump card. If I let you know about it, how could it still be a trump card?"
As he thought this, however, the corners of Zhang Yi’s mouth curved slightly upward.
Evidently, he was also very pleased with the combat prowess his Heroic Spirits from the Hall of Heroic Spirits had displayed in their first battle.
’The Profession and Miracle I spent over ten million Faith Value on were truly worth it!’
"And that Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps! I only realized in this first real battle how incredibly powerful their Legion Skills are—the one that locks down an entire area and the one they use when charging!"
"I didn’t notice it at all when I was watching the livestream of your divine war before."
"To think that mere Aerial Cavalry could rival my Sun God Bird Clan Army, a Clan that is born to fly!"
Hearing this, a flicker of a smile passed through Zhang Yi’s eyes.
"Those are the Legion Skills of the Elf Griffin Cavalry Corps: Land of No Wind and Wind Charge."
"Those two are indeed very powerful Legion Skills!"
Zhang Yi then changed the subject.
"But your Sun God Bird Clan Army also performed exceptionally well in this virtual divine war!"
"If Mage Captain Joy Pala hadn’t seized the opportunity to cast that Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse Spell, giving the Elf Clan an early advantage,
the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain!"
Although Zhang Yi said the outcome of the divine war was uncertain,
Lu Mei could still tell he was just saying that to comfort her.
However, compared to the other challengers who had engaged her in virtual divine wars only to be defeated,
Zhang Yi, the one who had actually defeated her, had instead stirred a special kind of feeling within her!
Lu Mei recalled the challengers who had sought her out and initiated virtual divine wars with her in the past.
Most of those challengers were men.
’They came to me, either swaggering with arrogance and hoping a victory would prove I was wrong to reject their advances,’
’or they came trembling, hoping to attract my attention through such clownish antics.’
’Yet, whether they came with arrogance or with fear,’
’they all ended up defeated at my hands, leaving me feeling bored.’
’When I won, it was just one more defeated opponent added to the list.’
’Those men would either fly into a rage out of humiliation,’
’or they would become even more sycophantic, begging for my attention.’
’But these actions, which took up my time, only disgusted me.’
’If I lost...’
’No, up until now, I had never lost!’
’After all, I am from the Middle-Level Divine Lu Family, the most talented rising star of the new generation.’
’Until Zhang Yi, I had never lost to anyone.’
