Fengyu Chen stared at the girl in front of him. Her milky-white and tender face revealed a kind of seriousness, a kind of persistence, a kind of expectation, and … a kind of responsibility.
He didn't know what kind of responsibility the girl in front of him was shouldering, but her unshakable valiance was awe-inspiring. Although Feng Yuchen didn't know why he felt that way, it seemed like he couldn't refuse her invitation.
"Well then, Yuji, I accept your challenge. But don't cry if you lose …" Feng Yuchen said as he pulled out the longsword on his body. The sword was randomly given by the system, and it was quite ordinary. But for a swordsman, the most important thing was not the sword, but the heart. A person who could use the Chain Sword Technique could not rely on the quality of the weapon to succeed.
"Of course … I'm going to test your strength properly …" Yuki straightened her back with a wide smile on her face. Her innocent expression seemed to announce that she had already won.
Looking at such a confident and calm girl, Feng Yuchen smiled from the bottom of his heart and said, "Ah, then … how do you want to fight? You tell me."
"Big Brother, do you want to fight in the air or on the ground?"
Yuji's voice revealed the calmness of a boy, as if she wanted to show that she never thought of herself as a weak girl.
"Let's fight on the ground …" Feng Yuchen said.
"Okay, you can jump, but you can't use your wings. Well … letting a newbie like you fight in the air will definitely give me an advantage. I'm really happy to let you fight with your full strength," Yuji said as she retracted the pair of special black wings on her back.
The dark wings that were as thin as cicada's immediately faded in color, and finally became almost transparent. A soft ringing sound came from her back, notifying Feng Yuchen that her wings had disappeared.
After retracting the wings, Yuji slightly focused her eyes on Feng Yuchen again.
Her beautiful reddish-purple pupils bloomed with beautiful colors. Then, Yuji smiled, waved her right hand, and skillfully manipulated the window that appeared in front of her.
[Yuuki is challenging you.]
A window to request a duel immediately appeared in front of Feng Yuchen's eyes, accompanied by a majestic sound effect.
The style of the window was the same as SAO, and there were a total of three modes.
From top to bottom, they were [First Strike Mode], [Half Strike Mode], and [Total Damage Mode].
In the past, in Aincrad, 1v1 battles were almost always carried out in First Strike Mode. After all, it was impossible to choose Total Damage Mode at that time because if you lose all your hp, you'll die. At that time, SAO was in beta testing, and PvP with Total Damage Mode was rejected by most players.
In Halved Mode, if the decisive blow hit a vital point, his HP might drop directly into the danger zone. Although it was relatively safer, it was still rare to use it.
But now that Kayaba Akihiko had not locked down the OSS world, duels should be carried out in Total Damage Mode.
After confirming, Feng Yuchen pressed the OK button. At that moment, the name [Yuuki] immediately appeared on the colored buoy beside Yuji. Just like in SAO, all characters had colored buoys. The so-called [Colored Cursor] was a small horizontal window that automatically appeared around the target. In addition to the character's name, HP, and MP bar, it would also display various statuses such as items and buffs. In this world of OSS, there were also magic icons, and at the same time, information such as guild, party, and force could also be seen.
Apart from the name, Fengyu Chen also remembered Eugene's Guild Emblem clearly. It was a very cute emblem consisting of a pink heart with two white wings on each side. It was also a pair of Freedom Wings. Back then, Fengyu Chen's Guild Emblem also had a pair of wings. However, it didn't have the cute pink heart.
While Feng Yuchen was looking at Yuji's character information, Yuji also noticed Feng Yuchen's character information. Other than the name, HP, and MP, there was nothing else. It was very clean, probably a newly created account. However, Yuji felt a sense of satisfaction because he was finally here. As for his sister, it would be great if she could see him. After all, he was the man in her dreams.
Every girl admired heroes, and SAO's number one player, Feng Yuchen, was naturally the idol of millions of girls. However, after he married Asuna, one of the top five beauties in SAO, he could no longer be seen in the VR world. Many girls were secretly sad for a long time, and Asuna became the girl that many girls were jealous of.
Yuji's sister also hoped to see Feng Yuchen and fight side by side with him, but …
Tears welled up in Yuki's eyes as she thought of this. If only … If only he had appeared a little earlier … a little earlier, her sister would have been able to fulfill her wish. Seriously, she would fight him on her sister's behalf. She believed that her sister would be able to feel it too.
"Let's begin … Big Brother, you have to use your full strength, or else I'll teach you a lesson!"
Yuji put away her sadness and suddenly glowed with fighting spirit like a heroic female warrior. She held her sword and took a stance in the middle, and naturally leaned to the side.
"Ah, of course. I never go easy on you, because of the honor of a swordsman!
You are sacred and cannot be profaned. If I were to hold back, it would be disrespectful to you. "
Feng Yuchen nodded seriously and pointed the sword in front of him. His breathing suddenly became slow, as if he had returned to the state when he was a swordsman. At that time, he was younger than he was now, but he still had the arrogance of a teenager. Now, it was as if he had regained his arrogance. Maybe it's a chuunibyou syndrome, but how could there be no chuunibyou in a fantasy world?
Haha …
Since she's the ultimate sword, then I'll be the godly sword, Feng Yuchen thought.
The countdown timer of the duel gradually reached zero.
When the words [DUEL] flashed, Yuji stomped on the ground with all her strength. She covered a distance of about seven meters in a very short time and twisted her body to the right. Fengyu Chen could tell how powerful she was just by looking at her skillful movements …
"Hah!"
With a short shout, Yuji's right hand stabbed forward like an arrow. With her inertia and rotational force, she stabbed twice at Feng Yuchen's heart, which was slightly to the left of his body. But this wasn't her limit. Without any pause, Yuji quickly followed up with two consecutive attacks at the trajectory that Feng Yuchen was about to dodge!
After Feng Yuchen dodged the first two attacks, he was completely shocked. If it was said that two consecutive sword techniques without any gap could be performed by many people, then the next two attacks …
