Regarding the hidden power possessed by the stoic little azure dragon:

Both Himeko and Welt Yang were aware of it, while only March 7th, Bochang, and others remained oblivious.

Dan Heng's role within the Astral Express Crew was as a protector.

Without significant strength, how could he safeguard the Astral Express?

However, Dan Heng had no intention of using that power unless absolutely necessary.

He would never resort to such forbidden abilities lightly.

The battle had already lasted for over a minute.

Fake Tingyun consistently held the upper hand.

But...

Regardless of his efforts, fake Tingyun could not defeat them.

Stelle and Dan Heng were repeatedly pushed back, yet they charged forward again and again, like relentless cockroaches impossible to vanquish.

Now, fake Tingyun's focus shifted entirely onto Bochang, finding the long spear in his hands truly troublesome. Even with Phantylia fully engaged and increasing its concentration on close combat against Bochang and the others, it proved insufficient.

Even more energy and focus were diverted to engage Bochang directly.

Unfortunately...

They still couldn't defeat him.

In Phantylia's eyes, Bochang's tenacity had surpassed that of the mighty dragon Bailu, nearly matching Welt Yang's prowess.

"Damn it... What's going on with Bochang?" The fake Tingyun's breathing quickened; battling so many powerful fate travelers single-handedly was no easy feat. "His strikes seem weak and feeble, yet they hurt like hell when they land."

Phantylia couldn't comprehend this phenomenon; it felt akin to a horror movie unfolding before her.

As the battle continued, Bochang grew increasingly confident and stronger with each exchange.

Initially, the false Tingyun had been overwhelmingly formidable, leaving even Bochang unsure how to counter.

However...

The longer their confrontation lasted, the more composed Bochang became, tapping into strength beyond his usual capabilities.

"The combination of Justice's Messenger and Big sister Slayer is truly fierce... It feels easier fighting the Destruction Emanator than facing Blade," Bochang couldn't help but remark internally.

Bochang couldn't resist taunting, "Didn't you want to get serious? Is this all you've got?"

After prolonged unsuccessful attacks, Fake Tingyun grew increasingly frustrated and provoked by these words.

Phantylia became even more enraged.

"You insignificant pest!"

Fake Tingyun waved her Bone Gathering Fan, unleashing a surge of purple electricity that formed into a menacing purple dragon.

Facing such an assault,

Bochang remained unfazed and directly spat out a Fire Lotus.

With a series of crackling sounds, the lightning summoned by Fake Tingyun dissipated entirely, unable to cause any effect.

However...

This was merely a feint attack.

In the next moment, Fake Tingyun leaped out of the range of the Red Lotus's strike, swooping down towards Bochang from above, reminiscent of an Arctic fox hunting in snow.

Her movement left Bochang momentarily stunned.

The burned appearance of Fake Tingyun bore striking similarities to a character named Sylvie from a game he had played before crossing over. Both shared unsightly scars across their bodies.

Of course...

These scars, on her seductive figure, seemed almost like unconventional adornments.

Taking advantage of the Fire Lotus obscuring his view,

With a sudden leap, she aimed to catch Bochang off guard.

This was utterly absurd and even bewildering.

As the fake fox maiden charged towards him recklessly, Bochang looked up and remarked, "How impulsive... Does this faux Tingyun not fear another face full of flames?"

Just moments ago, when her opponent had blindly attacked, Bochang swiftly taught her a lesson.

And now, she tries again?

It seemed as if she hadn't learned from her previous mistake.

Moreover, with faux Tingyun airborne, evading would be significantly more challenging.

Bochang thought, "Isn't this a perfect opportunity? Let me unleash something truly massive!"

The power of the Dragon Talisman surged within his body, rapidly concentrating at his head. He unleashed Tongue Blossoming Lotus Technique.

Hundreds upon thousands of enchanting red lotuses burst forth from Bochang's mouth.

Like a growing tongue of fire, they cascaded out for nearly a hundred meters, covering a vast area.

His stamina quickly drained; this single attack consumed almost one-third of Bochang's energy reserves.

Aiming to severely injure the false Tingyun, these surging red lotuses distorted space, even causing dark fissures to spread like spider webs.

Such a fierce attack instantly enveloped the false Tingyun, leaving her with no chance to evade.

At that precise moment...

Stelle, Dan Heng, and others shouted urgently, "Watch out!"

Bochang's Spider Sense emitted a strong warning signal. Realizing something amiss, his gaze shifted downward slightly.

He discovered within the red lotuses he had earlier unleashed against the Lightning Dragon...

a dark figure emerged, killing swiftly towards him.

With charred fox ears and a singed tail... it was unmistakably a familiar sight. Her tattered clothes barely covered her body, but unfortunately, there wasn't much left worth seeing, as her skin appeared scorched beyond recognition.

Not remotely appealing.

"A feint maneuver?"

As Bochang processed this thought, the false Tingyun had already closed the distance, now less than two meters away from him. With Bochang still focused on attacking the sky, it was too late for any countermove.

"I underestimated her... This madwoman actually withstood my attack." Realizing too late, Bochang cursed internally.

Fortunately, after another day had passed...

Bochang's teleportation ring now held two charges, allowing him to attempt an escape.

In fact...

He promptly took action.

A blinding white light flashed.

To swiftly flee, Bochang chose to teleport ten meters away, buying himself more time.

However, just as he disappeared...

Fake Tingyun immediately arrived at his previous location.

They nearly reached the spot simultaneously, driving Bochang to near frenzy.

His perilous situation remained unchanged.

Seeing no other option...

Bochang forcefully slammed down the Vow Spear, aiming for mutual injury.

Yet, fake Tingyun was quicker, her eyes glowing intensely with emerald light.

With one swift step, she condensed Wind and Lightning energies into her punch, turning her fist a deep shade of purple-blue.

A deafening "bang" echoed through the air.

Fake Tingyun's fist struck Bochang squarely on the chest, and the Wind and Lightning energies pierced through his body, erupting wildly from his back like scattered petals, creating a strangely mesmerizing display of purple-blue light.

The impact was devastatingly solid.

Bochang flew backward uncontrollably, even losing his grip on the Vow Spear.

Fake Tingyun's attack was incredibly powerful, causing the Wind and Lightning forces to tear through his clothing, leaving a large hole behind.

Yet, it inflicted no harm on Bochang.

Because...

At the onset of battle, Bochang had already retrieved the Elementary Student Card from the system space.

Like a legendary blade, it blocked the strike effortlessly.

In Bochang's pocket, the Elementary Student Card crumbled to dust.

An incongruously neutral voice echoed across the battlefield:

"Beep! Elementary Student Card activated!"

Simultaneously...

A faint white glow enveloped Bochang's body, accompanied by floating text lines resembling bullet curtains:

"He's just a child!"

"He's still a child!"

Seeing this, Fake Tingyun continued her relentless assault on Bochang, pursuing him like a vengeful dark specter.

The scene was utterly terrifying.

Bochang remained airborne, still hurtling backward.

Although the Elementary Student Card had shielded him from fatal damage and granted him one second of invulnerability...

While flying uncontrollably, he had no means to regain his footing.

During his earlier battle with Fake Tingyun, he had expended too much stamina, and his Invisible Hand had been repeatedly destroyed, leaving it unusable now.

Bochang felt like a helpless lamb awaiting slaughter.

Dan Heng's pupils slightly contracted; he knew he must resort to that forbidden power.
