"Be careful!"

The warning came from the other Contracted Spirit Girls behind.

Facing the powerful enemy coming head-on, Gongyang Jin didn’t back down.

In the Kunlun Twin Fruit World, she had gone through endless tempering on the ancient battlegrounds and had several duels with Taibai Jinxing,

and now her understanding of the Sword Dao had improved by leaps and bounds.

The overwhelming Sword Qi soared into the sky and condensed into one sword.

At this moment, the speed of the Xuanyuan Sword became astonishingly fast, intercepting the seemingly harmless little girl’s hands mid-air.

The moment of impact came with a sharp, ear-piercing metallic clang, echoing throughout the entire command center.

The incredibly sharp Xuanyuan Sword was unexpectedly gripped firmly by the little girl with her bare hands.

The golden sword light emitted from the blade cut countless tiny tears in the little girl’s clothes, yet it was powerless against those tender hands.

"Hmph."

Gongyang Jin snorted coldly, switching from single-handed to double-handed grip, her left hand firmly sliding along the blade.

At that moment, the Ancient Divine Weapon Xuanyuan Sword erupted with an incredibly brilliant radiance.

Like a star ignited and exploded, starting from the place where Gongyang Jin stood, the boundless Sword Qi transformed into a torrent of power, unleashed toward the front.

The sword light dissipated.

Everything in that straight line was sliced into two halves.

The command center defense wall that the little girl, codenamed "Sweet Dream," had torn open with monstrous strength, was further cut with a massive horizontal gap under this sword light.

"Sister Jin actually withstood a Tier Nine opponent’s attack with a Tier Eight Peak realm," Li Lingzhen exclaimed at the sight.

"That’s because we’re also rapidly improving ourselves, striving to catch up with Ah Zhan,"

There was a peculiar brilliance in Shang Siteng’s eyes.

After the trials in the Kunlun Twin Fruit World, the girls had each grown in their ways; Gongyang Jin was not the only one to make progress.

The perspective returned to the battlefield.

Though powerful, Gongyang Jin’s slash only managed to repel the opponent, not defeat the Tier Nine Mutant fortified by the Dream Realm.

A blood mark appeared on the girl’s abdomen, but it quickly healed.

Her voice carried a note of pain. "Sister, why did you hit me?"

Then, her tone turned menacing, "Sister, why did you hit me!"

As she spoke, the small shadow once again lunged at Gongyang Jin.

This time, the speed was faster, a series of sonic booms resonated through the air.

Gongyang Jin, as if once again on the ancient battleground, faced with endless slaughter, entered a fully immersed battle state, countering with her instincts as a Sword Cultivator.

In the blink of an eye, the Xuanyuan Sword in her hand clashed with the erratic silhouette hundreds of times.

The air was filled with broken Sword Qi, and various materials were pulverized by the energy waves from their clashes into dust. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

To battle a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse and hold her own, Gongyang Jin’s strength was undeniable.

"Should we intervene now?" Xia Youwei asked as she watched the scene unfold.

Among all the Contracted Spirit Girls, Xia Youwei was the most gentle-hearted. She felt uneasy about Gongyang Jin fighting a Tier Nine Ultimate alone, worried that something might go wrong.

"Let’s wait a bit longer." It wasn’t Shang Siteng who spoke, but Bob, observing the battle, who replied.

"We currently have very little data related to the Dream Realm. Ordinary mutants can’t satisfy our data collection needs, and this Tier Nine mutant defined as ’Sweet Dream’ is our best data collection opportunity!"

If others joined the fight, the battle would end quickly.

Although time was tight, gathering data was equally important; it mattered for devising a way to break the Dream Realm.

"Then let’s wait a little longer," Shang Siteng nodded slightly, agreeing.

At this moment, Li Lingzhen had already summoned the Shennong Cauldron, a faint white Spiritual Power swirling around her fingertips, ready to act.

Though usually careless, she was very attentive when it came to the lives of her close sisters.

Nuannuan and Jiang Lingling were also prepared, standing on the battlefield’s flanks, ready to assist at any moment.

Shang Siteng and Bob, on the other hand, began analyzing the battle data through their respective methods.

"She was just an ordinary person, yet the Dream Realm transformed her into a Tier Nine mutant. There must be some specific ’logic’ involved."

As Bob finished speaking, Shang Siteng’s eyes, originally sensing the Dream Particle fluctuations with Heaven’s Origin, opened again.

"I sense it."

Her gaze was like a sword, sharply directed at the girl’s heart.

"The Dream Particle converges and releases from her heart, functioning like spiritual energy in its operation."

Heart hidden with divinity.

The heart, desire, and Dream Realm had a specific connection.

This discovery was quickly inputted into the Dream Realm Compiler by Bob for another iteration and optimization.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the Tier Nine mutant held at bay by Gongyang Jin lost all patience.

The little girl’s hollow eyes, which had turned pure white, suddenly shed two lines of blood tears.

"Sister, don’t leave me!"

"I want to be with sister forever!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a blazing black flame spread out from her feet.

This was a new technique, apart from brute strength, that she used for the first time, putting Gongyang Jin in the battlefield center, in direct danger.

She only had time to raise her sword and block the black flame.

The black flame didn’t stop because of Gongyang Jin’s interception; like ink, it spread in all directions, soon dyeing the entire command center in darkness.

From the Contracted Spirit Girls’ perspective, everything in sight was tinged with a dark hue, as if they were wearing dark sunglasses.

The girl, who stood still, once more raised her head.

Her pupils returned to black, and her eerie, terrifying appearance normalized slightly.

This wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

The little girl’s voice continued to ring out:

"My mom and dad were Combat Spirit Contract Masters. They promised to celebrate my birthday, but on my birthday, darkness descended upon the entire city, and they didn’t come back; they never came back."

"On my birthday, sister also vanished."

"They are all gone. I can’t find them."

Her woeful, sorrowful voice ceased abruptly.

Then a roar split the air, causing pain to everyone’s eardrums.

"Then let you all be my sisters, okay!"

"Teddy, help me catch these disobedient sisters."

A massive shadowy figure appeared behind the Contracted Spirit Girls.

It was another Tier Nine!
