Weiwei's figure flickered continuously across the training ground, appearing and vanishing without pause.
By now, the entire field was littered with weapons.
Some were completely intact, while others were cracked or shattered into fragments.
There was an astonishing variety of cold weapons scattered everywhere.
"Speaking of which… does this count as zero-cost shopping?"
Lin Fei glanced at the pile of weapons around him and asked curiously.
"What—?!"
Weiwei had just emerged from a wormhole when she noticed that Lin Fei's attention wasn't on her at all—
But on the opposite direction from where she stood.
She assumed her repeated flash movements had interfered with his judgment.
Just as she was about to strike, she heard his comment.
Her movements faltered.
She stumbled, nearly losing her footing and falling over.
Lifting her head, her refined face—lightly dusted with smoke and grime—flushed with a mix of embarrassment and indignation.
She clenched her fist.
"I'm not some shameless freeloader, okay?! And this definitely isn't zero-cost shopping!"
"These are all weapons I transported over from Supergod Academy's armory!"
"Oh? So that's how it is."
Lin Fei nodded in sudden realization.
"Seriously… this guy…" Weiwei shot him a helpless glare.
"I'm continuing now—don't say I'm taking advantage of you!"
Lin Fei raised his hand and made an OK gesture.
Weiwei once again activated wormhole transport.
Because of her space-time genes—abilities inherently tied to spacetime itself—she had a natural advantage when using wormhole transport.
She spread her palm toward Lin Fei.
All the weapons she'd used earlier—aside from those completely shattered—were swept away by spatial ripples.
They reappeared as a new wave of attacks, surging toward Lin Fei.
Lin Fei charged straight at her.
He shattered a high-density alloy longsword with a single punch.
Twisting his body left and right, he dodged two long spears—
Then leapt into the air, kicking out with both legs, smashing two heavy hammers apart.
After landing, he spun into a roundhouse kick, breaking through the encirclement of weapons.
Two steps brought him right in front of Weiwei.
But before Lin Fei could strike—
Weiwei had already jumped backward into a swirling wormhole.
She reappeared more than ten meters away.
Instead of relaxing, her eyes narrowed slightly.
Because—
Lin Fei was standing right in front of her.
"Weiwei, what a coincidence,"
Lin Fei smiled and waved at her casually.
"What coincidence, my ass!"
Weiwei's fist tightened. With a sharp wave of her hand, more than a dozen weapons shot out of a wormhole toward Lin Fei.
She herself vanished again.
This time, she reappeared over twenty meters away.
Seeing Lin Fei still standing where he had been, she finally let out a breath of relief.
Then she heard his voice again.
"Weiwei, this isn't your full strength yet, is it?"
"Huh?"
"You've got a dark-alloy dagger," Lin Fei continued calmly.
"So you should also have black armor, right? Why not put it on?"
"What?!"
Duka'ao's heart jolted.
Black armor—dark alloy combat armor.
Dark iron was an extremely rare metal even in the known universe.
It was supplied to Supergod Academy by Lieyang.
Using technology controlled by Supergod Academy, it was forged into dark-alloy armor.
Only Supergod Academy and Lieyang knew about this.
It had always been classified.
And it had only been completed recently.
So how did Lin Fei know?!
"Lin Fei… you know about black armor?"
Weiwei was equally startled. She increasingly felt that Lin Fei knew far too much.
"Don't worry about the details," Lin Fei waved it off.
"Just put it on."
"Isn't that a bit much…?"
Weiwei hesitated.
The dark-alloy armor custom-made for her by Supergod Academy didn't just absorb external attack energy and weaken its force—
Its built-in computer also assisted with wormhole transport calculations.
Though she made it look effortless—teleporting in and out, launching large-scale weapon barrages—
All of that relied on massive calculations performed by the armor's onboard system.
The computational load was enormous.
Once equipped with dark-alloy armor, that burden was drastically reduced—along with energy consumption.
The boost it gave her was enormous.
Using it now would be overkill.
"What's wrong with that?" Lin Fei replied.
"Weren't you just using weapons non-stop?"
"How is that the same?!"
"Those were ordinary weapons. They're not even on the same level as dark-alloy armor."
Weiwei fell silent.
Her dark-alloy dagger also had built-in engines.
Remembering that, she'd stopped using it after the first attack and switched to ordinary weapons instead.
"Doesn't really matter," Lin Fei shrugged.
"…No. Or else—then you should bring out your own equipment too," Weiwei insisted.
From her perspective, if Lin Fei knew about dark-alloy armor—
And had already summoned the Phantom-Scale Flash steed—
And had said it was merely a form of his energy—
Then he must also have powerful equipment of his own.
"Alright," Lin Fei agreed.
"But I don't really have weapons. I do, however, have armor."
He spread his left hand, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly, a glint of light in his eyes.
"You have armor too?" Weiwei blinked in surprise.
"Of course."
"Then fine—I'll put on the black armor."
Space ripples spread above her.
Pieces of black armor descended one by one, covering Weiwei's tall, slender body.
This was her dark-alloy combat armor.
"Your turn, Lin Fei."
Her eyes shone with curiosity and anticipation.
What kind of armor would Lin Fei's be?
Truthfully—
Even back when his anomalous energy was only 0.1 black holes, Lin Fei wouldn't have had much trouble defeating an armored Weiwei.
Let alone now, with his anomalous energy raised to 0.2 black holes.
Still, he was looking forward to seeing what his own armament would look like.
"Then—"
Lin Fei closed his eyes.
He raised both arms and crossed them before his chest.
The Phantom-Scale Anomalous Energy Lock on his left wrist flashed with brilliant light.
"Phantom-Scale Armament!"
