After returning to her World from the virtual arena, Bai Muzhen quickly lowered her head to check her body.
She found that she was completely unharmed.
Both the missing arm and left leg had grown back perfectly.
"Wow! There's really nothing wrong at all; the Chat Group is so amazing!"
After checking herself thoroughly, Bai Muzhen finally relaxed.
From the moment she disappeared until she returned from the arena, less than a second had passed in the real World.
"Oh dear~ Even though I'm so strong, it was still a hard-won victory. It seems I need to find time to practice more."
Although Bai Muzhen ultimately won, she didn't feel much joy in her heart.
Bai Muzhen felt that during the battle, she had handled many details poorly.
For example, the application of internal energy and the methods of attack.
To put it plainly, it was her first time fighting at such a level, and she lacked experience.
Most of it was supported by her stats and combat talent.
Bai Muzhen made up her mind that she needed to practice more in the future.
Fujiwara Chika: "Wah! It was actually Little City Lord sister who won. What an unexpected result."
The Gray Witch: "Is this your peak strength in the future? Very good! Our 'Witch Squad' has gained another capable member. @Wuxiang City Little City Lord"
Seeing the message from Ilaina, Monica, who was also a Witch, had something to say.
Silent Witch: "She... she's not really... a Witch, is she? @The Gray Witch"
The Gray Witch: "Why not? Little City Lord Bai is the 'White-Haired Witch' after all!"
Is physical magic not magic?
Ilaina is not some pedantic person.
Moreover, Bai Muzhen can also project internal energy for long-range attacks. In a sense, isn't that 'magic'?
The Gray Witch: "Quickly change the group name, let's... hmm, let our 'Witch Tea Party' grow stronger in the Chat Group and achieve new glories. @Wuxiang City Little City Lord"
White-Haired Witch: "Hahaha! Alright, let us Witches grow stronger in the Chat Group!"
Nan Li: "It seems Little City Lord's path to immortality is promising. I look forward to you mastering the 'Four Extreme Realms' and ascending on the spot later. @White-Haired Witch"
White-Haired Witch: "This humble one accepts Mr. Nan Li's auspicious words. Oh dear~ I didn't expect to have the aptitude for becoming an immortal."
Don't forget, Bai Muzhen is only 14 years old now.
Which of those famous and distinguished figures in the martial World isn't middle-aged or even old?
Moreover, most of those famous figures have only mastered one Extreme Realm, and those who have mastered two are so few that you can count them on one hand.
Even if Bai Muzhen didn't rely on the Chat Group later and only cultivated by herself, she could probably ascend on the spot before she turned 20 at the latest.
Her talent is terrifying.
Thinking that she could also soar through the sky and burrow into the earth like the immortals of legend, Bai Muzhen subconsciously clenched her fists, an infinite surge of heroic ambition welling up in her heart.
However, before that, Bai Muzhen, who was already itching for a fight, decided to go beat up her father and aunt first.
The reason she applied to go to the arena with Genos was simply to better test her current strength.
After all, in the virtual arena, one can fight without restraint.
My annoying father and aunt, they didn't believe I had obtained an immortal destiny before.
Now, it's time to open your eyes.
Oh no! I can't laugh, I have to hold it in!
Alright, I really can't hold it in! Hahahaha!
...That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime World.
Luminas and the Sword Saintess appeared together in a gazebo in a rose garden.
Sakaguchi Hinata, who was about to eat the pastries on the table, hadn't even reached out before she noticed that the two, who had been gone for less than a second, had returned.
Knowing about the Chat Group's wonders beforehand, Sakaguchi Hinata wasn't overly surprised.
"Lady Luminas, how was it? Is that powerful person Xiao Meige mentioned formidable?"
Sakaguchi Hinata was, of course, referring to Nan Li.
Luminas's purpose in attending the battle was not only to meet and recognize the members of the Chat Group.
Her primary goal was to see Nan Li's strength.
Although the two did not fight, for someone of her caliber, assessing a person's strength only required observing them with her eyes.
Of course, the premise was that Nan Li hadn't deliberately concealed himself.
In any case, when Luminas observed him, Nan Li did not hide his aura.
Because he knew what kind of person Luminas was; she wasn't truly evil, but rather aligned with the lawful good faction.
So there was no need to hide, especially since this body of his was just casually conjured and he wouldn't feel bad if it was gone.
Luminas carefully recalled the feeling Nan Li had given her, then answered Sakaguchi Hinata's question with a solemn expression.
"Although we did not fight, Mr. Nan Li gave this concubine a very dangerous feeling. This concubine is not confident in winning against him."
Upon hearing this, Sakaguchi Hinata, who had just picked up a pastry, was so shocked that the pastry quietly slipped from her gradually loosening fingers.
"Is that 'Nan Li' really that powerful? Even you aren't confident in defeating him?"
Sakaguchi Hinata naturally knew Luminas's strength very well.
Although the former wasn't the battle-crazed type, she wasn't someone just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could challenge.
In any case, Sakaguchi Hinata currently couldn't defeat Luminas.
Now, hearing her personally admit that she couldn't defeat Nan Li, and even making this judgment without them having fought, how could Sakaguchi Hinata not be surprised?
"Hinata, the stronger the members of the Chat Group are, the better it is~"
"Moreover, that Mr. Nan Li is a very approachable person. We can definitely establish a deep friendship with him."
Upon learning of Nan Li's great strength, Luminas had already conceived a plan in her mind.
She still deeply remembered the stupid dragon destroying her home, even after two thousand years.
Luminas wished she could flay that stupid dragon alive, otherwise, her hatred would be hard to quell.
Who could understand the feeling of sitting at home, only for disaster to strike from the sky, and even have one's home destroyed?
Unfortunately, no matter how much Luminas hated, she couldn't do anything.
Because she couldn't defeat Veldora.
That dragon might be stupid, but it was truly powerful.
Luminas felt that perhaps she could ask Nan Li for help to subdue Veldora, and then she could use that stupid dragon as a punching bag.
But how to get Nan Li to help?
This was the problem Luminas needed to consider at this stage.
After much thought, Luminas decided it was better to first build a good relationship with Nan Li.
At this point, Luminas decided to stop overthinking and shifted her attention to the Chat Group's shared files.
"You two are free to do as you please. This concubine needs to check the original plot that would have happened in our World."
Naturally, the Sword Saintess and Sakaguchi Hinata had no objections to Luminas's arrangements.
And so, Luminas began to concentrate on reading the plot of their World.
Meanwhile, the Sword Saintess and Sakaguchi Hinata enjoyed tea and pastries nearby... one-punch man World.
Genos, who had just returned from the virtual arena, had a face full of unyielding defiance, unlike his usual cool demeanor.
He... he actually lost?!
He was like a walking corpse, then, by instinct, he arrived at the bottom of an old apartment building.
Then he went upstairs and arrived at the door of a certain room.
At this moment, the Bald Great Demon King, Saitama, who had just returned from buying groceries at the discount supermarket, appeared behind Genos.
"Yo, Genos, back after upgrading your equipment?"
Greeting him as usual, Saitama walked to the door, took out his key, opened the door, and walked in.
Genos, who hadn't fully come to his senses, followed purely by instinct, walked in with him, and found a seat at the table.
Finally noticing his disciple's abnormality, a big bald head suddenly leaned over.
"What's wrong, Genos? Why that expression?"
Saitama was quite helpless with his disciple, who came to find him right after upgrading his equipment.
However, seeing the other party's lifeless expression, Saitama still asked with concern.
But after several seconds, Genos didn't reply.
So, Saitama couldn't help but poke his cheek with a finger.
Feeling the touch on his face, Genos finally came to his senses.
The next second, he was seen bowing his head to Teacher Saitama.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Saitama, I've disgraced you. I just fought someone and lost."
Hearing Genos say this, Saitama looked indifferent.
"So what if you lost? It's no big deal. After all, you're still young. You'll have a chance to fight back later."
Saitama thought that Genos, being only 19 years old, was truly young.
He himself was already 22 when he started training.
In other words, Saitama genuinely believed Genos had limitless potential.
After all, before he was 22, he was just an ordinary person with no combat ability.
"Teacher Saitama, I... I lost to a 14-year-old girl."
Saitama couldn't help but laugh when he heard Genos say this.
"Huh? You actually lost to a 14-year-old girl? Pfft~"
By the end, Saitama really couldn't hold it in and started to cover his mouth and laugh out loud.
However, Genos ignored Saitama's mockery and immersed himself in his own World, recounting the entire cause, process, and outcome.
When a certain Bald Great Demon King heard that Genos had fought with a member of the Chat Group, he immediately stopped laughing.
He instantly transformed from a grinning bald egg into a sour lemon with a slightly distorted expression.
"Ah ah ah! Genos! You actually got to fight a strong person from another World, that's so enviable!"
This was an opportunity to fight a strong person from another World!
As the Bald Great Demon King, who was already invincible in this World, he truly yearned for a hearty, fist-to-fist battle with a strong person from another World.
Now, hearing that Genos had actually fought someone from another World, how could he not be envious!
Saitama grabbed Genos's shoulders with both hands and began to shake him continuously.
"Genos, go ask those group members now if you can borrow some more points. I want to join the group too!"
Genos, feeling like his body parts were about to be shaken off, quickly responded.
"Alright, Teacher Saitama, I'll go now."
...Honkai: Star Rail World.
By the time Genos started asking the group members for points again, more than ten days had passed for Nan Li.
On this day, he wasn't performing on the corner of the merchant ship as usual, but rather sitting at the bow with Jing Yuan, fishing.
Suddenly.
Jing Yuan, who had been fishing empty-handed for over twenty days, finally hooked a fish.
His usually composed face showed an undisguised joy.
"Haha, after so many days of nothing, I finally caught a fish."
"Indeed, the fish finally bit."
As he spoke, Nan Li also hooked a fish.
