Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Big-chested Sister, Here I Come!

Though he knew that phantom items had a self-cleaning effect, Feng Xue still washed the intimate attire, the "Saint Fighter’s Training Suit," thoroughly before putting it on.

Even though wearing an evening gown over his thermal shirt seemed odd, Feng Xue still put on the Opera Phantom Suit piece by piece.

Silent Boots, Oathkeeper’s Appearance, All Things Squeezing Driver were equipped one by one, and after Feng Xue hung the Pardon Bell and the storage waist bag on the side of the driver’s belt, he finally wrapped the small blanket around himself.

The Indescribable Stick was tucked into his sleeve, the Holy Mother with its scabbard hung at his waist, Suffocation Blade was tied to his right arm, the Famous Gun·Abe Checher was slung across his chest, and the large Orca Pillow was carried on his back.

When Feng Xue put the final Feminization Filter closely to his body, he entered his peak state once again—though the style seemed a bit weird.

"Indeed, I still need to unify the style." Feng Xue activated the power, but it wasn’t the previous "Orca," it was the "Hermit."

As the power took effect, the evening gown transformed into ordinary casual wear, Abe Checher turned into a DSLR camera, the Orca Pillow became a large guitar case, the glaring green shoes transformed into light-colored sneakers, and the flamboyant Masked Rider Belt turned into a simple metallic buckle belt.

Even the menacing skull-like Oathkeeper’s Appearance on his face gradually shrank, transforming into a plain rimless pair of glasses. Remarkably, though it had become glasses, its ability to conceal the wearer’s identity still functioned perfectly.

"If not for discovering something fishy from Old Li, I wouldn’t have realized the ’Hermit’ could be used to disguise appearance. Too bad it can’t be used to fill jelly bottles..."

Satisfied, Feng Xue looked at his reflection in the mirror, adjusting his glasses with his index finger. He seemed like an artistic youth with a camera hanging in front and a guitar case slung across his shoulder. Perhaps due to the effect of the Oathkeeper’s Appearance, his looks were somewhat difficult to remember.

"Perfect!"

Striding back and forth before the full-length mirror, Feng Xue was finally assured that there were no flaws. Of course, he didn’t forget to repackage the Kaidan Fire, showing it this time as a plain yet incredibly smooth sphere, still containing the "Libra-Swearer" entry, which wasn’t overpowered but definitely not to be underestimated.

...

At midnight outside the residential area, compared to last year’s grand scene, this year’s setting seemed much more desolate.

Compared to last year’s over a thousand Kaidan stories, this time there were merely a hundred "people" standing before the South Gate. Yet the aura was undoubtedly stronger than the previous year’s.

"Is it because of the real world people?" Feng Xue felt a trace of enlightenment. The Hundred Tales continuously attacked the exchange groups of real world people to maintain their monopoly, while those Kaidans were also breaking the monopoly to protect the exchanges.

In such a situation, it’s for the best that neither side continued to raise the stakes, as it was impossible to easily withdraw personnel.

Therefore, those who came to participate in the challenge were either confident in their strength or were freelancers without the qualifications to share the spoils... Mm, there were also Anomalies that weren’t quite Kaidans but came to rent a gate.

"There are five minutes until midnight, please Kaidans enter in an orderly manner..."

As time neared midnight, that wooden-headed, frog-mouthed female Kaidan popped out to announce the event for the year.

However, with only one-tenth of the Caiden stories compared to last year, and mostly veterans, almost no one paid attention to her, merely waiting for the time to end and then heading towards the tower representing power.

Feng Xue leisurely strolled among the crowd, stepping into the tower. Unlike last time, when he tested the effect of an all-out punch at Pradamia, he didn’t bother the guards this time and headed straight to the sixth floor, knocking on the door bearing the correct number.

He admitted, he intentionally sought out this house because...

During the last challenge, this big-chested mistress almost didn’t make it back in time, so he figured, what if this time...

"Clatter!"

Well, Feng Xue’s hopes were dashed.

The one who emerged from behind the door was still the white-haired, red-eyed big-chested mistress, but this time she wore a black tight-fitting outfit under a rusty red trench coat with silver arm armor on her arms, a short sword at her waist, and three pairs of what appeared to be valuable earrings gently swaying on her elf-like elongated ears.

Undoubtedly, she was fully prepared this time!

Just as Feng Xue’s slightly disappointed expression appeared, the big-chested mistress revealed a fierce yet adorable expression, roaring loudly at Feng Xue—

"You again, you bastard! Still trying to take advantage? I’ll knock your [censored] out this time! I accept the challenge!"

"Damn! How did you recognize me?!"

As Feng Xue was dragged into the Challenge Space, his face slightly changed. He thought his current appearance shouldn’t be much different from before, yet completely different, and considering the ability of the Oathkeeper’s Appearance to conceal the wearer’s visage, how did she recognize him with just a glance?

"Vampire’s sense of smell? Or some kind of tracking ability of a Vampire Hunter? Or perhaps a mark left by a Holy Knight?" Various thoughts popped into Feng Xue’s mind, but he didn’t dwell on it too much and instead drew the Holy Mother, waiting for the countdown to end.

5,

4,

3,

2,

1!

As the countdown reached zero, the preparation barrier dissipated, but Feng Xue’s Arrow Avoidance Protection sensed no threat at all.

However, more surprising than the lack of long-range attack from the opponent was that on her head, still glowed a dazzling red Pardon Mark!

"Damn, why didn’t I notice before? Or was it because the Babylon Tower is a Forbidden Weapon Zone, so it wasn’t displayed? So..."

A slight grin formed at the corner of Feng Xue’s mouth as his body vanished without a trace. Even though the vampire mistress quickly realized the severity of the situation upon his movement, in the next moment, two gunshots echoed almost simultaneously behind her!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Famous Gun·Abe Checher, disguised as a camera, unleashed a barrage of steel pellets. But just when Feng Xue thought he could secure victory with this sneaky strike, the vampire mistress’s rusty red coat seemed to come alive, effortlessly enveloping all the projectiles.

"Tch..." After a missed attack, Feng Xue immediately retreated. Just as he activated the Complete Heaven Shifting Star Skill, several blood lines sliced through his previous position, whistling sharply through the air.

"You [censored] little [censored]!" The mistress screeched, unleashing a series of expletives in her native tongue while controlling a multitude of blood lines to strike Feng Xue from all directions.

In Feng Xue’s Identification View, these blood lines seemed to originate from the tight black outfit that highlighted her figure. Although it was difficult to precisely observe its attributes during continuous movement, Feng Xue had already glimpsed words like "Blood," "Dominance," and "Extraction."

Undeniably, the fully equipped mistress bore no resemblance to her nearly bare state a year ago, but Feng Xue, a year on, had also undergone a complete transformation.

Dense fog once again shrouded the surroundings, the pitch-black night, the thick white fog, the sharp... blade!
