Returning to Sheath? I can do that too!

Virtual battle space, Flaming Mountain.

Lin Feiyan returned to the battlefield, but she was no longer as composed as before; instead, she appeared somewhat disheveled.

Although she only exchanged one move with Xue Youyou, she had to admit that Guanghan Zhan, as a weapon-type pet beast, was much stronger than Feiyuyan Qiang.

Xue Youyou stood there leisurely, winked at Lin Feiyan, and said in a flippant tone, "If you can't hold on, just use the Return to Sheath technique sooner rather than later."

Faced with Xue Youyou's almost provocative actions, Lin Feiyan forced out four words through gritted teeth: "As you wish."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Feiyan, eager to get revenge, immediately turned his spear around and plunged it into his own chest: "Crimson Flame Spear, return to your sheath!"

Starting from the spot in Lin Feiyan's chest where the Crimson Flame Spear pierced her, a dazzling light erupted, enveloping the entire battlefield atop Flaming Mountain. The light was as radiant as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.

As the light gradually faded, the Crimson Flame Spear had already been sheathed.

At this moment, the gun body underwent an astonishing change. It not only extended to seven meters, but also transformed from the original dark red black iron into flowing lava crystals. Crimson gold magic patterns appeared on the surface, and the tip of the gun extended into a three-section spiral blade structure. The blade edge was surrounded by inextinguishable karmic fire, forming an energy vortex in the shape of the "Sanzu River".

It's as if a gentle wave could tear through space.

Lin Feiyan, who was the "sheath", also underwent a change. After completing the sheathing process, the same magic patterns as the Scarlet Hellfire Spear appeared on her skin. These magic patterns moved across her skin like flames, emitting a heart-palpitating red light.

Lin Feiyan's originally crimson hair seemed to be ignited, instantly transforming into blazing flames. These flames floated upwards, like dancing fire sprites, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

At this moment, Lin Feiyan exuded an unparalleled and invincible aura.

Xue Youyou opened her eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Last time, she was only shot from a distance. Strictly speaking, this was the first time she had seen Lin Feiyan's posture after sheathing the Scarlet Flame Spear.

Having witnessed Lin Feiyan and the Scarlet Flame Spear's entire process of returning to their sheaths, Xue Youyou silently compared it to her own.

After a moment's thought, Xue Youyou made an accurate judgment and said smugly, "Indeed... mine is still more handsome..."

Hearing Xue Youyou's narcissistic praise, Guanghan Zhan couldn't help but roll his eyes and retort, "That's obvious. The Returning Sheath technique I taught you is a secret technique passed down from the Moon Goddess Palace, and it has been personally improved by the Moon Goddess herself. The Returning Sheath technique she uses is just a primitive version that she developed herself in this remote and impoverished place called Yue Lanzhou. Is there any comparison between them?"

"You're mistaken. It's a secret technique passed down from the Moon Goddess Palace, first improved by the Moon Goddess, and then personally improved by the genius beast tamer Xue Youyou!" Xue Youyou immediately corrected her, emphasizing her indelible contribution to this process.

She had clearly participated in the technological improvements, yet Guanghan Zhan had completely ignored her; she couldn't tolerate that.

"You call that an improvement?" Guanghan Zhan said speechlessly, having gained a new understanding of Xue Youyou's shamelessness.

It was only because he was shorter than the Moon Goddess that he had to slightly adjust the range of his sheathing motion.

Calling this a technological improvement is simply shameless.

Faced with Guanghan Zhan's skepticism, Xue Youyou argued forcefully: "That's right!"

"..."

Seeing Xue Youyou talking to herself on the side, Lin Feiyan's face darkened as she felt ignored. She coughed heavily to remind Xue Youyou to calm down, as the two of them were still fighting.

When Xue Youyou looked at her again, Lin Feiyan raised her proud head and said calmly like a queen, "Don't think you can get away with this by pretending. If you're scared, then admit defeat!"

In her sheathed state, her strength and confidence swelled to an unimaginable level.

With the two so close, she was absolutely confident that her next strike would turn Xue Youyou to dust.

However, just as Lin Feiyan was secretly imagining the scene of Xue Youyou kneeling and begging for mercy, and was about to make a move, Xue Youyou suddenly made a gesture to temporarily stop the fight: "Wait a moment, let me prepare."

Lin Feiyan: "..."

Although she didn't know what Xue Youyou was up to, Lin Feiyan was now unafraid of any means.

In the face of absolute power, any trickery is useless.

Her sheath-returning technique is not a substandard one that fails after a few minutes.

"Heh, surely she won't return to her sheath too..." Lin Feiyan muttered to herself, then realized her worries were ridiculous.

Only she herself knows how difficult it is to master the Return to Sheath technique. She spent a total of nine years learning the theory of Return to Sheath from the age of nine, to awakening her companion pet at the age of sixteen, and finally to fully mastering the Return to Sheath technique.

Even so, the Lin family unanimously considered him a super genius.

How could Xue Youyou, a wheelchair-bound beast tamer, possibly have mastered such advanced techniques?

She wanted to see what other tricks Xue Youyou had up her sleeve.

Lin Feiyan nodded and said, "Five minutes is enough for you?"

"Two minutes is enough." Xue Youyou's eyes lifted slightly, revealing a charming smile. She tilted her head gently, her lips slightly upturned, and gave a clear and melodious reply, like a nightingale singing in a valley. Her silky white hair gently brushed against her fair cheeks, making her smile even more charming, like spring flowers in bloom.

The charm she unintentionally revealed made everyone's mouths dry.

Su Wanrou, Lu Yutang, and Cui Yelan, in particular, instantly understood Meng Yanqing; no wonder their captain had been so repressed before.

In that instant, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xue Youyou's body suddenly moved. Her dance steps were light and agile, like a butterfly fluttering in the air or a flower swaying in the wind. Every step was full of rhythm and cadence, captivating everyone who saw her.

As Xue Youyou's strangely rhythmic dance steps gradually unfolded, something incredible happened.

The map of Flaming Mountain, which was originally bathed in the blazing sun, has mysteriously entered the darkness of night. A clear, cold moon slowly rises and hangs in the sky, casting silvery moonlight, as if the whole world is shrouded in this moonlight.

The moonlight, like a spotlight, illuminated Xue Youyou's figure with exceptional clarity. Bathed in moonlight, she resembled a fairy descending to earth, her graceful figure captivating all who beheld her. In this darkness, Xue Youyou seemed to be the sole existence, as if everything in the world existed solely for her.

Gradually, a crescent-shaped white crack appeared on Xue Youyou's chest. This crack, like a crescent moon in the night sky, emitted a faint light.

Immediately afterwards, the ten-meter-long Guanghan Sword trembled slightly in the air, accompanied by a series of sword sounds like a symphony, gradually becoming ethereal, and finally transforming into a river of light, returning like a shooting star to the crack in Xue Youyou's chest.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Feiyan's beautiful eyes widened suddenly.

She was certain that this was the return of the weapon to its sheath!

Although Lin Feiyan didn't know why Xue Youyou's spellcasting animation was so long, she had to admit that Xue Youyou's movements exuded a captivating elegance and grace.

Even she herself was unconsciously drawn into it. For the first time in her life, Lin Feiyan, who was in the "Sheathed" state, felt dim and lifeless.

As the Guanghan Slash merged with her, Xue Youyou's dancing figure became increasingly ethereal and elusive.

The next second—

With a "boom", Xue Youyou's body transformed into a sheathed form, and her flesh and blood instantly turned into a moon-white energy body.

Immediately afterwards, as if summoned, icy blue clouds gathered from all directions, quickly swirling around the energy body. These clouds seemed to have a life of their own, dancing dynamically, and finally weaving together into an incomparably magnificent battle armor, covering Xue Youyou's body.

Ice-blue clouds flowed across the battle suit, forming intricate and exquisite patterns, as mysterious and solemn as ancient runes.

Behind Xue Youyou, the icy cloud ribbons, like dancing fairies, lightly wrapped around her body.

Xue Youyou's exquisite face was concealed by a black blindfold, obscuring her bright and sharp eyes. This blindfold not only added a touch of mystery but also made her appear cold and dignified.

Above Xue Youyou's head, a crystal crown of ice quietly appeared. This crown was composed of countless tiny ice crystals, each refracting a faint light, as dazzling as the stars in the night sky.

Guanghan Slash - Return to Sheath!

At this moment, even without taking any action, Xue Youyou exuded an unimaginable sense of oppression.

It was all because, in the night sky behind it, hung a colossal sword ten thousand feet long that pierced through the clouds!
