Chapter 1623: Chapter 694: Isn’t It Great to Be a Top Student?_2

"They... went back to the past?" Lin Xue was surprised.

"Hmph!"

At this moment, Red Sleeve suddenly let out a cold snort, abruptly throwing out a chain and launching an attack towards Lin Xue.

Lin Xue’s reaction wasn’t slow; she instinctively raised her scythe to block while speaking, not relaxing her vigilance towards Red Sleeve.

The two exchanged a move, with neither gaining the upper hand.

Lin Xue frowned and looked at Red Sleeve: "What do you know?"

Ava’s explanation just now was directed at Lin Xue alone, but Red Sleeve had the ability to read minds. Lin Xue knew that everything said earlier was surely heard by Red Sleeve, and this reaction clearly indicated she knew something.

"Heh, why should I tell you?" Red Sleeve sneered.

"Then it seems I’ll have to take you down!" Lin Xue’s expression also turned cold as she summoned the Divine Skin and assumed a combat stance.

"You can try and see who’s going to take down whom." Red Sleeve smirked disdainfully, exuding confidence.

Lin Xue didn’t speak further, compressing the energy of the Divine Skin to the height of an ordinary human, just covering her body surface. Facing an opponent of the same size, having the Divine Skin too large would only hinder agility.

Both being heirs of the Grim Reaper, speed was paramount.

Lin Xue stepped forward, transforming into a Shadow Charm, charging with her scythe.

Red Sleeve, as if foreseeing this, also summoned a layer of Divine Skin and unleashed a speed not inferior to Lin Xue, effortlessly dodging her attack with nonchalant ease.

Lin Xue didn’t pause, launching continuous pursuits. She knew the opponent could read minds, so her goal was to give the opponent no time to react.

Unfortunately, Red Sleeve’s mind reading didn’t require time; Lin Xue’s every thought seemed to form in Red Sleeve’s mind as if they shared one soul.

"Soul Extinguisher Slash!"

"Soul Chaser!"

...

The Scythe Shadow of the Reaper flowed in Lin Xue’s hand, slicing through the air continually, slashing towards Red Sleeve. It seemed like Red Sleeve was being forced back step by step, but in reality, not a single strike could really hit.

Because the moves called out just now, like a menu, were spoken by Red Sleeve herself, all of which were Divine Arts she had prepared next.

This meant that all her actions could be predicted by the opponent in advance...

Lin Xue’s eyes flashed with helplessness; if there was a delay in the mind reading, it would be better, but this real-time synchronous mind reading was too much of a bug.

To defeat this ability, she would need a level of power and speed far exceeding the opponent.

However, after several exchanges, Lin Xue understood that their star levels were equivalent, and their attributes and strength were also similar.

Obviously, the opponent hadn’t been slacking off during this period, growing well under that old man’s guidance. Perhaps, the resources Lin Xue accumulated in the battle at the City of Order could give her a slight advantage, but not enough to create a significant gap.

Under such circumstances, the existence of mind reading was virtually an unsolvable problem.

As Lin Xue contemplated, Red Sleeve suddenly snickered in front of her, retreating violently and creating distance, crashing straight into a rock behind her.

The imagined scene of Red Sleeve being bounced back after hitting the rock didn’t happen. Instead, she disappeared into the rock like a puff of air.

"?"

Lin Xue was stunned, watching Red Sleeve vanish into the stone. She hastily turned her head to look around, but no matter how she searched, she couldn’t find Red Sleeve’s trace, as if she had vanished into thin air.

"Watch out!"

Ava’s warning voice suddenly rang out.

Lin Xue had already felt the movement beneath her feet and instinctively wanted to leap up, but it was already too late.

A pair of hands reached out from the sand beneath her, grabbing her ankle.

Then came a force, pulling Lin Xue into the sand, burying her from the shoulders down, rendering her unable to move.

In front of Lin Xue, Red Sleeve slowly ’floated’ out from the sand, standing firmly and looking at her with a playful gaze.

"I didn’t attack you earlier because I know that man has means to counter me, making it difficult to handle. Did you really think I was afraid of you?"

Faced with Red Sleeve’s mockery, Lin Xue didn’t respond, still silently analyzing the previous situation in her mind.

Up until now, besides the abilities of the Grim Reaper, Red Sleeve had shown two additional abilities: mind reading and the ability to penetrate and emerge from stone.

Initially, Lin Xue thought the opponent’s other ability was something like wall-phasing, allowing her to pass through obstacles. But now it seemed not only that; she could also phase objects in contact with her, more like a matter assimilation ability...

"Forget it, it’s over."

Seeing that Lin Xue wasn’t begging for mercy or speaking, Red Sleeve lost interest, walking in front of Lin Xue and reaching out towards her head.

"Don’t blame me, I’ve had enough of only having a single-armed Divine Skin. The Divine Power of the Reaper has been divided for so long; it’s time to reassemble it..."

Before Red Sleeve could finish speaking, she suddenly sensed danger and quickly retreated explosively.

Following Red Sleeve’s movement, Silver Needles intertwined with threads emerged from the ground, stabbing towards her from all angles.

Fortunately, these silk threads had a distance limit. After Red Sleeve retreated a certain distance, the needles and threads soon ceased, withdrawing to Lin Xue’s side, burrowing into the sand.

With the surrounding land loosening, moments later, Lin Xue leaped out from the ground unscathed.

Upon emerging, Lin Xue never paused, charging towards Red Sleeve with her scythe once again.

"Still resisting stubbornly..."

Red Sleeve’s expression was somewhat peculiar; she scoffed, "It’s useless, your thoughts and abilities are crystal clear to me. No matter how many times you come, the result will always be the same..."

Red Sleeve’s voice abruptly halted.

Lin Xue ghostly appeared beside Red Sleeve, swinging her scythe. In Red Sleeve’s astonished gaze, the scythe cut into her solidly.

A cut was made on Red Sleeve’s left arm, blood spurted out, and a mass of blue soul wafted away.

Red Sleeve was flung away by the force, crashing to the ground not far away. Hurriedly, she turned her head, looking at Lin Xue in a daze: "How is this possible..."

Under her Mind Reading Technique, she could always understand the enemy’s every attack thought, sometimes even discerning the opponent’s move patterns earlier than them, which allowed her to prevail one-on-one.

However, just now, for the first time, she couldn’t comprehend Lin Xue’s thinking.

"Using the opponent’s initial position as a coordinate, establish a spatial coordinate system, perform vector transformation on the new coordinate data, carry out surface integral differentiation, then restore the results to the nearest standard number within the current coordinate range, corresponding to the 206 bones and 639 muscles of the human body, conducting a random attack..."

"What?"

Red Sleeve was bewildered. Vector transformation? Surface differentiation? Restore to standard numbers? How to restore? And what are standard numbers? Even though she recognized every word in this statement, when put together, it was completely incomprehensible to her.

Amid Red Sleeve’s confusion, Lin Xue had already brandished her scythe for another attack from afar.

Meanwhile, a thought appeared in Red Sleeve’s mind.

"According to the opponent’s new coordinate, the natural numbers obtained are 105-79, attacking the corresponding parts respectively..."

Red Sleeve hastily leaped, her brain racing at full speed.

During this brief moment, she had also understood the opponent’s plan to complicate the thought process to disrupt her mind reading. All she needed to do was precisely capture the critical information, follow the opponent’s reasoning, and anticipate the final result.

Ignoring that convoluted mess for now, 105, 79, these two numbers clearly represented the opponent’s next attack targets, seemingly corresponding to bones and muscles, information the opponent surely had in her mind.

Red Sleeve anxiously concentrated her mental energy and soon found the corresponding knowledge in Lin Xue’s mind.

It was an anatomical diagram of the human body, with every muscle and bone clearly marked with numbers.

The next step was simply to identify the specific positions of these numbers.

However, Red Sleeve quickly felt like crying.

She could still clearly see the thoughts in the opponent’s mind, and as long as she was given time, all information could be fully understood.

But, there wasn’t enough time!

While she was frantically searching for the numbers, Lin Xue’s attack had already descended.

A cold light flashed, Red Sleeve instinctively dodged, only to feel a pain in her right calf, her soul dispersing as she was once again flung away by the force.

"The 105th bone of the human body is the right tibia. No one could possibly not know that medical fact, right?" freёweɓnovel_com

Listening to the cool voice ringing from afar, Red Sleeve suddenly felt nakedly insulted, with an urge to curse out loud: Damn, is it impressive being a straight-A student? Is it appropriate to flaunt your knowledge this way?
