Chapter 141 – The Power of Lumine

Qiu Bai looked at Lumine, lost in thought.

He hadn’t expected that Lumine could resonate with his power.

Once they reached Inazuma, Lumine with three elements plus his own Yin-Yang Dual Qi would surely become quite powerful.

“Lumine, try to sense it.”

“What can you do with my power?”

Qiu Bai looked at Lumine, asking somewhat curiously.

“Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

Lumine nodded, then slowly spread her hands.

Black energy surged from one hand, while white energy flowed from the other.

“This white energy seems capable of healing wounds.”

“And this black energy appears highly aggressive.”

Lumine looked at Qiu Bai before her, speaking slowly.

“When these two forces combine,”

“they produce an extremely powerful effect.”

Lumine gazed at her own hands, saying with some pleasant surprise.

Hearing this, Qiu Bai felt somewhat disappointed.

He had thought Lumine might be able to transform into a male—apparently not.

It sounded like a low-grade, even lower-grade version of his power.

And judging by Lumine’s expression, she seemed to think this power was quite strong.

“Does it greatly enhance your abilities?”

“Lumine?”

Qiu Bai looked at Lumine, asking with curiosity.

“Yes, tremendously.”

“I feel that if I faced Childe now, I could easily defeat him.”

Lumine looked at Qiu Bai, smiling as she spoke.

“Moreover, I can sense that”

“your power, Qiu Bai, doesn’t seem to be Elemental Power.”

Lumine looked at Qiu Bai, asking in surprise.

“From a universal perspective,”

“it indeed is not Elemental Power.”

Qiu Bai looked at Lumine, explaining with a smile.

“The semifinals begin! Please welcome Lumine and Rongshi to the stage!”

Lumine, who had been about to say more, was pulled back by this announcement.

“I have to compete now, Qiu Bai.”

“I’ll head over first.”

Lumine looked at Qiu Bai, smiling and nodding.

Then she walked toward the dueling platform.

“Go Traveler!”

“Paimon believes in you!”

Paimon watched Lumine’s retreating figure, excitedly stomping her feet and cheering her on.

“The semifinals came so quickly.”

“It was just the preliminaries a moment ago.”

Hearing “semifinals,” Qiu Bai couldn’t help but twitch his lips—they had only fought a few rounds and were already at the semifinals.

Lumine, wielding her Dull Blade, defeated her opponent in just a few moves.

Then she walked back toward Qiu Bai.

After a while, another announcement rang out.

“The finals begin!”

“Please welcome Lumine and Qiu Bai to the stage!”

The sound of drumbeats echoed from the distance.

“It’s our turn.”

“Let’s go. Show me your newly acquired power.”

Qiu Bai looked at Lumine beside him, speaking with a smile.

Lumine nodded in response.

She too was eager to test her newly gained power.

“Hey, you better go easy on the Traveler!”

Paimon watched the two departing figures, shouting loudly.

“They’re here, they’re here!”

“The great hero and that Mr. Qiu Bai.”

“Who do you think will win?”

“I bet on Mr. Qiu Bai!”

“He’s so handsome!”

“I bet on the great hero.”

The eliminated contestants around them had not chosen to leave.

Instead, they gathered to watch from the sidelines. Mr. Qiu Bai’s earlier display had made them eagerly anticipate the match between Lumine and Qiu Bai.

Qiu Bai strolled leisurely toward the dueling platform.

Meanwhile, Lumine ascended from the opposite side.

“Use all your power, Lumine.”

“Let me see the strength you’ve newly gained.”

Qiu Bai looked at Lumine standing before him and spoke calmly.

Lumine nodded, holding the Dull Blade in her hand.

The sword emitted a black aura as she thrust it directly toward Qiu Bai!

Qiu Bai furrowed his brow slightly and extended a single finger.

Clang!

With just one finger, without even using Divine Power, Qiu Bai blocked the tip of Lumine’s sword!

He remained completely still, one hand behind his back, wearing an expression of utter calm.

“Your power has indeed increased significantly.”

“However, an attack of this level poses no threat to me.”

Qiu Bai looked at Lumine, who was straining with effort, and spoke with a smile.

Hearing Qiu Bai’s words, Lumine frowned.

With incredible speed, she flashed behind Qiu Bai!

Anemo Elemental Power enveloped the Dull Blade, making it appear razor-sharp.

Upon closer inspection, the Anemo-infused sword was also emitting a black aura!

Then, Lumine swung her sword!

A massive gust of wind swept across the entire arena!

“My dress!”

A pure-looking woman below the stage blushed and clutched her skirt.

“I never expected Lumine’s Elemental Power to be infused with Yin Qi.”

“Still, this is useless against me.”

Qiu Bai looked at the black Anemo sword energy slashing toward him and smiled faintly.

Then, the Power of Yin appeared at his fingertip and flicked toward Lumine’s sword energy.

In an instant, Lumine’s black Anemo sword energy vanished completely under the minuscule Power of Yin from Qiu Bai.

“This guy!”

“Didn’t he say he’d go easy on the Traveler?!”

Paimon watched the battle from below, stomping her feet in frustration.

Seeing her attack disappear in an instant, Lumine stared at Qiu Bai in shock.

She had already guessed that her attack would be ineffective against Qiu Bai.

But she never imagined he would handle it so effortlessly.

“Is this the power of a god?”

Lumine pursed her lips, gritted her teeth, raised the Dull Blade, and charged toward Qiu Bai at high speed.

“It’s time…”

“Just watch my performance.”

Qiu Bai murmured to himself, then a flash of light appeared in his hand, and the Chaos Sword materialized.

Seeing Lumine charging toward him, he dashed forward as well!

“H-he’s actually using a weapon now!”

“Traveler, get out of the way!!”

Paimon watched as Qiu Bai, sword in hand, charged directly at Lumine, her voice cracking with fear.

Lumine was momentarily stunned by Qiu Bai’s sudden charge.

She hadn’t expected Qiu Bai to get serious, but then she noticed his expression—it seemed like he winked at her.

Instantly, Lumine understood Qiu Bai’s intention.

“So that’s how it is?”

A smile spread across Lumine’s face as she raised the Dull Blade and swung it toward Qiu Bai.

Clang!

Qiu Bai held the Chaos Sword horizontally, effortlessly blocking Lumine’s attack.

Sparks flew the moment their weapons collided.

Sizzle~!

With a flick, Qiu Bai sent Lumine flying into the air!

Lumine somersaulted mid-air, plunged the Dull Blade into the ground, and slid back five or six meters.

Then, she used Geo energy to immobilize Qiu Bai’s feet!

The Dull Blade became infused with Anemo Elemental Power and Yin-Yang Dual Qi!

Instantly, the Dull Blade grew several times larger, unleashing immense power that swept across the arena!

Lumine raised the massive sword and swung it toward Qiu Bai!

“Oh my goodness!”

“Look, everyone! The great hero doesn’t have a Vision, yet she can wield two types of Elemental Power!”

“What is that black and white aura?!”

“It looks like the Divine Power Adeptus Lord used when defeating Osial!”

The audience below watched in stunned amazement.

Even Beidou and Kazuha were shocked into stillness by this sight.

They never could have imagined.

That Lumine could wield two types of Elemental Power, along with a black and white force!

Like ink wash painting colors on paper.
