Bai Feifei's voice was not loud. In fact, amidst the howling wind that tore through heaven and earth, it was completely drowned out.
But sometimes, it didn't matter if others couldn't hear. It only mattered that her own heart did.
A torrent of white energy erupted from her heart, enveloping her entire body. A streamlined, pure white armor encased her form and face, with elegant curves at the joints and slightly flared pauldrons.
Her battle skirt, seemingly woven from countless rays of light, rustled crisply with her slightest movement!
Behind her, a phantom pair of wings condensed from pure white light suddenly unfurled!
The rampaging red threads around her recoiled as if burned, seemingly bewildered by this sudden apparition.
Pushed to her absolute limit with her Sanity practically depleted, Bai Feifei had finally taken this step.
In truth, she and the Old-Timer shared a single body. The only reason Xu Mo could awaken his black armor mode right from the start while she couldn't was due to a psychological barrier in her subconscious.
Subconsciously, she feared that taking that step represented corruption—that it meant fully accepting the power of an Evil God and ceasing to be herself.
But now, she let it go. Regardless of what kind of power it was, she needed it!
Standing behind her, He Jinfan's eyes went wide. He was utterly dumbfounded, his lips trembling for a long time without a single word coming out.
Wait, you're actually for real?!
He had never expected a development like this in his wildest dreams.
From the very first moment he saw “Bai Feifei,” he had found it strange that this girl was so different from what he imagined a member of the Masked Hermit Society to be.
Didn't they say they were 'Masked'?
Then why is your face completely bare?
Later, seeing her rather mediocre strength, he had secretly assumed she was just a newcomer, or perhaps the daughter of Sinking Black or something.
But this posture after her transformation... wasn't it the exact same style as that black-armored powerhouse from earlier?!
So you guys both have a second form after transforming?!
He had fucking thought Sinking Black just naturally looked like that!
Deep within her consciousness, Xu Mo looked at the pure white armor covering Bai Feifei. Feeling the power emanating from her heart—a force completely different from his own—he burst into laughter:
“Well done, Pikachu! I knew you could do it.”
His laughter carried a distinct note of a scheme successfully executed.
“Welcome to your rightful place, member of the Masked Hermit Society—Spotless White!”
He had even assigned her a codename on the spot.
As the Old-Timer, he decided the codename without consulting her. Of course, Bai Feifei didn't seem like she would care about such things anyway.
Even if they didn't manage to secure those blood vessels this time, it wouldn't be a loss.
Bai Feifei had no time to pay attention to the voice in her head.
She looked down at her hands, now covered in pure white armor plates, and dazed for a moment.
Is this... my own power?
From her heart, pure white energy flowed endlessly into her entire body, washing away her fatigue and invigorating her resolve.
In stark contrast to Xu Mo's dark power, this energy brought a strong, warm, resolute, and positive force, giving her the courage to face even the collapse of the heavens.
Time was of the essence, and she did not hesitate.
Clenching her right hand, a white glow condensed in her palm, extending into a blazing white longsword.
It was made of pure light, lacking any metallic texture, yet it radiated a sharp, heart-palpitating aura.
The blood vessels extending from Zhulong were still connected to Wan Qianhong, frantically draining her life force.
Bai Feifei gripped her sword and delivered a horizontal slash!
A faint, choked hum echoed.
The red blood vessels were severed cleanly at their roots, and the cut sections instantly turned to ash!
Wan Qianhong collapsed limply, but Bai Feifei caught her with one hand and gently laid her on the ground.
Her mind, bolstered by the white light, allowed her to make the most rational choice: she didn't waste a moment worrying about Wan Qianhong's condition for now.
She dispelled her light sword and glanced back at the chaotic battle raging in the distance.
The gale continued to howl as red threads erupted from the ground. The students who had been injected with the potion could no longer stand, and some were already beginning to aberrate.
Even the students of Qingping Academy, who had used the least amount of the drug, had veins bulging all over their bodies, looking as if they had severely overexerted themselves.
The only ones who still maintained any combat capability were the Rangers, but these warriors, who refused to retreat even in the face of death, looked as if they were truly about to perish here!
And for some unknown reason, the surrounding storm had suddenly grown incredibly violent.
If this continued, everyone would die.
Suddenly, Bai Feifei made a move that even caught Xu Mo off guard.
She raised her longsword high, and the pair of pure white wings of light behind her flared open, making her look like an angel casting her light over the world.
Then, she spoke once more!
【Success and failure are fleeting, never lose your resolve!】
This time, her voice reached everyone's ears, even striking directly at their souls, making them feel as if they had been struck by a heavy hammer!
The moment her words fell, the pure white light enveloping her exploded outward.
A resolute and inspiring power surged into everyone enveloped by the light, instantly elevating the physical state of the Rangers to a whole new level.
Originally, without Wan Qianhong to shoulder the burden for them, their blood had been burning with restless agitation, but after this burst of light, they were instantly cured!
The students on the verge of mental collapse suddenly froze, their eyes instantly clearing. The parts of their bodies that had begun to aberrate even started to revert, and they looked around in confusion.
The previous sense of despair and the urge to surrender vanished without a trace.
Even the crimson haze shrouding the entire battlefield above was torn open, leaving a massive rift.
Under the shroud of the white light, the wildly dancing red threads grew much calmer.
Watching this scene unfold from within her mind, Xu Mo was completely stunned.
Then, finding it somewhat hard to accept, he muttered, “Wait... how is this even fair?!”
Why did she obtain her second Word Soul the very moment she entered this state?!
He was already so familiar with Sinking Black, yet he still hadn't obtained a second Word Soul.
This wasn't something written on the game panel, nor was it the work of him, the Old-Timer. From start to finish, she had not relied on any external help.
It was purely Bai Feifei herself, who had forged this awakening through sheer will on this hellish battlefield.
What does this mean? It makes no sense. Could it be that Bai Feifei is simply more compatible with the Heart of the Real World?
What kind of absurd talent is this? It's completely unreasonable. For a moment, Xu Mo even began to doubt himself...
As the white light swept over Zhulong's body, he felt a searing, painful sting.
Like a sewer rat, his first instinct upon seeing the sunlight was to hide.
He turned his head in equal shock, staring at Bai Feifei in her angelic state, utterly bewildered.
“An... another one?”
Bai Feifei did not answer him. She simply stood within the pure white domain she had summoned.
She was not Sinking Black; she lacked that suffocating, tyrannical pressure, and she didn't look as overwhelmingly powerful as he did.
Yet, just by standing there, she radiated a reassuring strength that made everyone feel that it wasn't over yet!
