Chapter 151 Red Heart Swordsman_2
Such advancement paths had been developed at the time, and ultimately, four were successfully shaped: the Primordial Sequence 8 Red Heart Queen, the Primordial Sequence 8 Diamond Monarch, the Primordial Sequence 8 Spade Queen, and the Primordial Sequence 8 Club Emperor.
Watching the sword-wielding girl jump down opposite him, Tuo Wei from Edith Academy slightly frowned. Many people were aware of the fairy-tale card series professions; they weren't easy to deal with, or else they would have been phased out by the times. And now, the girl opposite him not only dared to choose this irreversible advancement path but had reached Sequence 5, truly a genius.
Although the profession template was extremely excellent, it wasn't suitable for everyone, and not all could advance with ease. Many people had envied these four advancement paths, but later, due to various reasons, they were stuck, unable to advance or retreat, ultimately wasting much time and effort.
"It's started." Watching the girl make her entrance, Efnie, standing on the bridge, took a deep breath and started to strum her instrument, singing songs fitting the theme.
"Sweet" × "War." Wars in reality are almost always cruel, but since the sweet aspect is added, it means that the war has turned into a kind of metaphor.
When it comes to something that is highly relevant to young people and fits the 'sweet' theme, without a doubt, it's love, and this theme is destined to describe the sweet entanglements of love.
Such is the wonder of theme fragment combinations. If you change it to another term, like 'cold' × 'war,' it would certainly be a theme of a cruel and sad war.
On stage, Alice took consecutive steps, and with a final leap, she raised her greatsword vertically and chopped down. Her move could be said to be simple and unadorned, yet in the midst of the air, one could faintly see sharp silk threads crisscrossing, ready to slice the young girl into pieces. But when Alice actually swung her sword down, the blade upfront, like a spearhead, tore apart the threads.
She was not unaware of her opponent's tactics; rather, it was precisely with knowledge of them that she chose the simplest and best solution.
To deal with an opponent adept at using silk threads and traps, faster movement could lead to being cut by silk threads or falling into ambushes. Alice's method was to chop down with her sword, creating a safe path.
Watching Alice's actions, Tuo Wei didn't sit idly by; instead, he began to move quickly.
If you advance step by step, then I will keep moving at high speed, always kiting. Having made up his mind, Tuo Wei created a safe distance and stood still, his hands flipping up and down, invisible silk threads condensing, and then aiming at the distant Alice, he released the threads to constrict from all directions.
As the invisible silk threads closed in from all around, Alice simply stopped moving. She placed her greatsword in front of her, the red gem on it shining brightly and spreading over her body. As those threads sliced towards her, they struck the hard gem and remained motionless. Then she swung her sword again, crushing all the silk threads ensnaring her and freeing herself.
The situation is unfavorable, Efnie, while plucking the strings, finally sung her first lyric, and soon Tuo Wei's body also lit up with faint golden sparkles. As these sparkles converged, the Transcendent Core within him revved up faster and faster, and the steel threads stretching out in the void became even sharper.
"Is that all?"
Prin Coco, who had been waiting opposite for a long while, was somewhat dissatisfied. She thought that Tilan would show herself in the second phase, but now it seemed she wasn't ready to come out.
"Then let me give you a little pressure."
She gestured to her teammates behind her, and then the light and lively guitar sound echoed, with steady drum beats gradually lifting the atmosphere. After a long buildup, she breathed in deeply and let out a light and mellow voice, distinct from her usual one.
"You think I,"
"look beautiful without makeup,"
"You think my cold jokes,"
"are funny,"
"I know you've touched my heart,"
She held her breath and then began again.
"So I've let down my guard, let down..."
"Before you met me,"
"I was alright, just a bit bland,"
"A bit heavy,"
"You've brought back my life's vigour."
"Now, each February,"
"You'll be my Valentine's Day lover."
"Let's give our all tonight!"
Her voice rose with excitement, pausing with each phrase, the lively rhythm narrating a bold pursuit and declaration of young love. Despite singing about love, Prin Coco still leaned towards a bold and proactive stance, distinct from the more common shyness and hesitation.
"With no regrets, just love,"

"We could dance until we can no more,"
"Both you and I will forever be young."
As her voice rang out loud and clear, Alice on the stage also lit up with glittering radiance, as if enveloped in golden light particles, conspicuous and dazzling.
"Ah—"
Facing sharp silk threads thrusting at her from all directions, Alice simply ceased to dodge, instead standing her ground and swinging her greatsword in front of her. Pupils bearing the true red heart mark appeared in her eyes, and then a pale red transparent flame ignited within them, spreading over her body, gradually burning away the silk threads wrapped around her.
But even after burning away the silk threads on her body, the stage was still filled with silk thread traps set in every corner, making it difficult for her to catch up to the nimble Tuo Wei.
However, by now, Alice seemed to have a solution. She slowly raised her greatsword, and then the hilt flared open like blooming petals. Magic Power incessantly poured into it, and the red gem on the hilt deepened to a richer crimson until it coated the entire blade of the sword in a deep red hue.
