Losing Must Have Value

On this chaotic Kalim continent, everyone would eventually face a battle of life and death.

Whether one lived or died was ultimately something they had to fight for themselves.

Therefore, Lan Qingyou shouldn't have cared at all whether this battle was a life-or-death struggle for Ursula.

After all, everyone had already made their mental preparations long ago.

But the situation now was a bit different.

Especially after seeing Alisa's Magic Eye.

First, there was the ability to block her own Magic Eye's prying, and now, there was the ability to peer into others...

Although based on her current performance, it appeared to be an auxiliary-type Magic Eye just like her own, it seemed incredibly practical no matter how she looked at it.

It was just that when the other girl spoke those words earlier, her state felt a little bit... off.

However, that wasn't the focus right now.

The focus was on how to suss out information regarding the opponent's Magic Eye and magic.

In the past, Lan Qingyou had always fought with the wind at her back.

This 'smooth sailing' had been infinitely amplified after she obtained her Magic Eye.

Whether she encountered Transmigrators, evolved beings, or monsters, she only needed a single glance to know the enemy's weaknesses and achieve excellent results.

She had even accidentally cleared a stage like she did when fighting the big-eyed cutie.

But this time was different.

If Ursula couldn't defeat Alisa in this battle, Lan Qingyou would likely have to fight her in the next.

From that perspective, Lan Qingyou even had to thank Ursula for 'testing the waters.'

So, while she originally shouldn't have cared, she now appeared somewhat nervous.

Equivalent exchange.

She was obtaining crucial information from Ursula, so it was only natural that she should give something back in return.

Otherwise, her conviction would waver; there was no other possibility.

But since Lan Qingyou currently had no way to give her anything tangible, she could only offer some very cheap emotional support.

And, of course, there was that foul-mouthed Xin Tianle.

She would definitely have to give that girl a severe beating later before finishing her off.

Otherwise, how could she face Ursula after taking her information?

Yes.

In Lan Qingyou's view, Alisa was very troublesome.

On one hand, there was the Magic Eye ability she had sussed out as 'likely being this way,' and on the other hand, there was the opponent's magic.

The Witch race was truly a headache.

Without the convenience of being able to identify others, Lan Qingyou finally realized that defeating a witch about whom she had no information was far more difficult than dealing with other evolved beings.

While other evolved beings also awakened racial talents and had their own magic, they were different.

Compared to the Witch race, the racial talents of other races were uniform; if one individual was a certain way, the entire race was the same.

Take the Merfolk, for example, with their talents for breathing underwater and transmitting messages via sound waves.

This made information very easy to collect; one only needed to focus on the individual's own magic.

But while the Witch race's talent was unified under the category of Magic Eyes, every individual's Magic Eye ability was different. This meant you had to guess two things and defend against two things.

Exhausting.

Fighting a witch was truly exhausting.

Watching the screen on her tablet, Lan Qingyou silently complained in her heart.

On the screen, Ursula was constantly shifting positions on her flying magic broom.

The reason was simple: Alisa was launching an attack against her.

Alisa's attacks were very strange.

With just a point of her finger, the location where Ursula stood would be hit by an impact, followed by an explosion.

There was no warning; it was completely abrupt.

If Ursula hadn't habitually changed positions after her initial attack was blocked, she might have been hit long ago.

The power of these explosions was small; if one went off on a person's body, it would probably only have the force of being hit by a small pebble.

But any keen observer could see that the explosion was merely a byproduct of the impact.

“Excellent senses. Did you undergo some kind of enhancement in that regard?”

Seeing that her attacks failed to work every single time, Alisa also felt quite surprised.

One had to know that her sneak attacks were usually foolproof.

Like Lan Qingyou and Li Huai, she was someone with rich PVE combat experience but almost zero PVP experience.

However, people like them could usually secure victory by relying on their hidden combat abilities.

But this time seemed a bit different.

The intuition of the witch from the High Tower faction in front of her was so sharp it was like she was cheating, making Alisa wonder if she should continue attacking like this to wear down the other's stamina.

Ursula didn't answer. She focused entirely on dodging while simultaneously using her Magic Eye to attack.

But no matter how she attacked, the result was the same as before—she only caused a certain amount of damage to the air in front of her opponent.

Just as Alisa had said, her Magic Eye was indeed called the Twisted Magic Eye.

In a physical sense, it could twist anything into a braid, and by paying a certain price in spirit, it could even twist a person's will and thoughts.

Of course, the twisting of will and thoughts required the opponent's spirit to be lower than her own.

How could a skill that seemed so broken fail to inflict any effective damage on the opponent!?

If this continued, she would lose the match!

This was the answer Ursula arrived at while dodging and weaving.

Losing the match...

She hadn't even considered that option before.

Although her opponent was on the same level as her, she believed she should be able to take her down with her abilities.

To that end, Ursula had not only worn new clothes today but had also carefully selected and rented a full set of spirit-boosting accessories to enhance her power.

But now it seemed that all of it was in vain.

Had Lan Qingyou discussed tactics for dealing with Alisa with her?

They certainly had, and it was just yesterday while they were eating noodles.

“Losing isn't scary, but losing must have value. Above all, preserve yourself. As long as you're still here, you can always make up for the damage later.”

Those were the exact words Lan Qingyou had spoken while eating.

At the time, she thought it was just a casual remark, but now it seemed it was a warning.

As expected of the Lord Goddess. She must have predicted this situation long ago, which is why she said those things.

Right!

Losing wasn't scary!

What was scary was losing without any value.

While ensuring her own safety, she had to obtain more information for the Lord Goddess.

At the very least... at the very least, she had to find out what kind of magic this Workshop faction bastard was using and what her Magic Eye's ability was.

With that thought, Ursula made a bold decision that no one expected.

Riding her flying magic broom, she dodged another attack and immediately shifted the broom into third gear, charging straight at Alisa with incredible speed.
