You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

Qiu Bi smiled without saying a word, then walked towards the purple door.

Delta turned and gazed at Sirin, who was quietly suspended in mid-air. She remained silent for nearly two minutes before taking firm steps and plunging into the purple doorway.

I not only want to successfully pass the Trial Grounds, but I also want to take this opportunity to rapidly increase my strength until I am second only to Sirin, Angelin and Janna!

Delta pondered this.

As for surpassing Sirin and being comparable to Angelin and Gana...

Delta never dared to dream of such a thing.

After returning to the Paradise of the Past, Sirin, Angelin, and Alicia still gathered on the guest sofa, chatting without any attempt to hide their voices, although Alicia did most of the talking while Sirin and Angelin listened quietly.

The three girls seemed to know that Delta and Qiubi would return to the Trial Grounds, so they simply greeted the two of them and then continued to tell the story of the "Thirteen Heroes Who Chased Fire".

Delta didn't linger and immediately turned back into the trial grounds.

Qiu Bi followed Delta back to the Trial Grounds.

However, Delta seemed to be "afflicted with bad luck," as the subsequent final "BOSS" were all difficult to defeat.

During this time, he encountered Maria three times, Sirin five times, Wendy seven times, and the colorless radiant fire seven times...

Delta initially became withdrawn, then began to doubt her life, and finally, unwilling to accept defeat, vowed to successfully clear the Trial Grounds.

……

A place of trial.

Delta and Qiubi returned to the final area and looked at the beautiful figure standing in the very center of the trial grounds.

—Maria Shaniat.

"It's Maria again... Delta, are you confident?"

"Teacher, I will definitely pass this level!"

Delta's expression was serious and determined, as if she had already won this time.

Qiu Bi opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally decided to remain silent.

In his memory, Delta always looked so confident of victory, but in the end, she always suffered a miserable defeat.

Delta seemed to have guessed Qiu Bi's thoughts, and couldn't help but glare at Qiu Bi reproachfully.

"Teacher, if you hadn't spoken up, I might have passed the trial long ago."

When Delta first encountered the colorless radiant fire, the colorless radiant fire was only equipped with the outer armor "Sabayon". Then Qiu Bi said, "Fortunately, this is not the colorless radiant fire in its full form, otherwise you would be in trouble again this time."

The final result was self-evident: the colorless, radiant floating fortress "Schwarzwaelder" appeared instantly, declaring Delta's trial a "failure."

The colorless radiant fire, piloting the floating fortress "Schwarzwaelder" and the outer armor "Sabayon," is very powerful and can even hold its own against Maria for a while.

However, Maria is a close-range fighter, while the Colorless Blazing Fire is a long-range bombardment. The latter has the advantage of range when facing Delta, so it is naturally a greater threat than the former.

"Teacher, I'll go then."

"Well, come on."

As Qiu Bi watched Delta slowly walk towards Maria, a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

This scene resembles a parent seeing their daughter off to an exam, and the relationship between Qiu Bi and Delta gradually takes a strange turn after repeated failures.

Strictly speaking, this should be considered a "teacher-friend" relationship.

Every time Delta entered the Trial Grounds, Qiu Bi accompanied her, and every time Delta died, it was Qiu Bi who stayed by her side and comforted her.

Although one can be resurrected countless times in the Trial Grounds, the feeling after death is not faked. It inevitably makes Delta feel uneasy and fearful, as if each time is a real death.

Over time, Delta will naturally develop feelings for Qiu Bi that go beyond "teacher and student".

—The teacher-student relationship is about to change.

Delta took a few steps, then suddenly turned back to look at Qiu Bi.

"Delta, is there anything else?"

"Teacher, please watch me closely—this time, I will surely win!"

"Yes, I've always believed in you."

Qiu Bi smiled and encouraged Delta, always having full confidence in her.

Delta was stunned for a moment, then suddenly broke into a beautiful smile.

The next second, five pairs of pale gold wings appeared behind Delta, and she immediately rushed towards Maria.

After a period of repeated battles, Delta not only gained a rapid increase in combat experience, but also developed a certain degree of resistance to "death".

If this trend continues, Delta might become an "ultimate life form" that is "immortal" when she leaves the paradise of the afterlife.

Chapter 233 First Rated Power - The Holy Lance Unleashed!

A place of trial.

Delta's left hand transformed into a Honkai Beast's claw, while her right hand became a sharp blade. The former was specifically used to block Black Abyss White Flower's attacks, while the latter was used to launch a highly threatening counterattack.

Recalling the scene when she first met Maria, Delta was already able to fight her on equal terms and even pose a considerable threat to her.

Qiu Bi watched this scene and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Although she has only been in the Paradise of the Past for about three days, Delta's improvement is considerable.

"As expected... Delta is the biggest beneficiary of the Paradise of the Past."

Qiu Bi murmured softly, gazing at the entanglement between Delta and Maria.

After a very close and intense battle, Maria's condition began to decline.

Although Maria in the Trial Grounds is not the real person, she cannot use "Radiant Knight: Moonbeam" for an extended period of time, and her combat performance will continuously decline.

Therefore, after realizing that Delta could engage in sustained close combat, Maria did not hesitate to change her fighting style and choose to finish the battle quickly.

The next second, the black abyss white flower showed a slight hue, and thick black mist gushed out instantly, quickly covering the surrounding area.

Upon seeing this, Delta's pale gold wings suddenly trembled, whipping up a fierce gale that dispersed the black mist released by the Black Abyss White Flower.

Black Abyss White Flower - Second Rated Power - Holy Lance Reversal!

In an instant, the Black Abyss White Flower split into the Black Abyss and the White Flower. The former continued to release black mist, while the latter emitted a hazy white glow, protecting Maria from the black mist's invasion.

Immediately, Maria gripped the Black Abyss tightly and hurled it forcefully toward Delta.

Delta's eyes narrowed, and she became alert and prepared to defend against the Black Abyss at any moment.

However, the Black Abyss, thrown by Maria, missed Delta by a hair's breadth, grazing past her.

Although the cold light emitted by the Black Abyss injured Delta, the impact was not significant, and she quickly recovered.

"Strange... Maria shouldn't have missed with her strength. Could it be due to a decline in her condition?"

Delta murmured in confusion, unable to find a solution.

Then, a thick black mist suddenly appeared around her, instantly pulling her thoughts back to reality from her confusion.

Only now did she belatedly realize that Maria hadn't failed, but had done it on purpose!

Under normal circumstances, the black mist could never spread to Delta's side. Only by having the Black Abyss create the black mist around Delta could the black mist engulf Delta and begin to harm her.

Delta gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain caused by the black mist corroding her body, and forcefully waved her arms, trying to dispel the thick black mist surging around her.

As for the pale gold thin wings...

It was eroded and destroyed long before the black mist appeared, and could no longer dispel the black mist as before.

At this moment, Delta's clothes and "bone armor" had already been corroded and destroyed by the black mist, but she paid no attention to it, remaining fully vigilant and on guard against Maria's sudden attack.

A few seconds later, the black mist around Delta gradually diminished, allowing her vision to gradually return.

Maria's delay in launching an attack puzzled Delta.

Why hasn't an attack been launched yet?

As Delta murmured softly, she subconsciously looked towards the spot where Black Abyss had landed, only to find that Black Abyss had vanished without a trace.

This is……

not good!

Delta was horrified, recalling the attack that had killed her three times in a row...

Black Abyss White Flower - First Rated Power - Holy Lance Unleashed!

The Black Abyss and the White Flower quietly merged and reformed into the Black Abyss White Flower. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the delay caused by the black mist, they have gathered terrifying Honkai energy.

The next moment, Maria forcefully threw the Black Abyss White Flower at Delta.

The feeling of being completely locked on made Delta pale, and she couldn't help but have the illusion that no matter where she hid, she would eventually be hit by the Black Abyss White Flower.

When Delta finally managed to shake off this "illusion," she discovered that the Black Abyss White Flower was already closing in.

"call……"

Delta let out a long breath, then her expression hardened, and hard "bone armor" once again condensed on her body. Moreover, her arms transformed back into Honkai Beast claws, grabbing at Black Abyss White Flower in the next second.

Suddenly, the black abyss white flower burst forth with dazzling light, as if a raging sun had fallen from the heavens, carrying with it an immeasurable pressure.

Delta's expression shifted from resolute to solemn, and then she resolutely faced the Black Abyss White Flower.

If Delta can withstand "First Rated Power - Holy Lance Bloom", she will live; if she cannot withstand "First Rated Power - Holy Lance Bloom", she will die.

The moment the Black Abyss White Flower struck Delta, endless light suddenly burst forth, filling the entire trial grounds.

Qiu Bi squinted and watched patiently, waiting for the final result.

Maria was already kneeling on one knee, making it difficult for her to maintain "Radiant Knight: Moonbeam".

If Delta successfully withstands "First Rated Power - Holy Lance Bloom", then this victory will belong to Delta.

"Delta, you have to do your best..."

The residual power of "Holy Lance Bloom" appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly. In just a few breaths, Delta's figure reappeared in Qiu Bi's sight.

Delta looked disheveled at this moment, with the black abyss white flower piercing through her chest cavity, nearly pinning her to the ground.

Delta gasped for breath, the "bone armor" covering her body riddled with cracks that crumbled with each breath.
