That night.

The bright moonlight, like a blessing from the gods, cast a silvery-white curtain over the world, gentle yet chilly. In the darkness, it was like a precious jewel, its light guiding lost travelers to find their way.

Quan Ji sat atop the tallest moonlight tree in the imperial palace, circulating her cultivation technique. Her aura steadily increased, and she eventually broke through to the level of a divine messenger.

If anyone saw this, they would be absolutely stunned.

Can people with superpowers cultivate so easily?

What's your bottleneck?

Wasn't there supposed to be a massive chasm between ordinary superhumans and divine messengers, a chasm that millions of people could never cross in their entire lives?!

Princess Quan's talent is truly unprecedented.

A layer of golden light flowed in her exquisite pupils, even more intense than before, sacred and pure.

Her superpower has unlocked a new derivative ability—hallucination.

She was not surprised by the emergence of this ability, as it was exactly the same as in her previous life.

This is a very useful skill that can instantly trap someone in an illusion, rendering them unable to fight.

What's even more terrifying is that this is an area-of-effect attack skill.

In her past life, she activated her hallucination on the battlefield, and the enemy's millions of troops were all captured without resistance.

However, the duration is short; the stronger the target of the attack, the shorter the hallucination period.

Moreover, it cannot induce secondary hallucinations in a short period of time.

The drawback is significant, mainly because she currently lacks sufficient energy; otherwise, it could all be compensated for.

At this moment, a blond man quietly walked to the tree carrying his greatsword. He was wearing silver armor and had a sunny and handsome appearance, like the bright sun.

"I'm going to unleash the entire sword technique today!"

That's infuriating! Quan Ji actually mocked him for not being able to use even half a sword move!

As the future most valiant swordsman on the entire continent, he could not bear this humiliation, yet he had nowhere to refute it.

Because he really couldn't use it.

He took a deep breath using his breathing technique, his gaze sharpened, and he swung his sword, accidentally falling to the ground.

Quan Qingchi blushed with embarrassment, clenched his fist in front of his chest, and muttered to himself, "An accident, absolutely an accident!"

Princess Quan, who could see everything clearly from the tree, was speechless.

She knew Quan Qingchi was a complete idiot.

I never expected Quan Qingchi to be this bad.

"He can't even use half a sword move; that's giving him too much credit."

He shouldn't be able to swing a single sword properly.

She thought back carefully and realized that Quan Qingchi had always been a sword fanatic who had never insulted or harmed her.

Conversely, in the first national war she fought after taking control of the empire in her previous life, Quan Qingchi, as the fifth prince of the empire, secretly went to the battlefield, charged to the front line, and was the first to die.

There's one thing she remembers very clearly.

Quan Qingchi, whose arms had been severed by the enemy, used his body to block seventeen arrows before collapsing. His last words before dying were: "The glory of the empire is everything to a swordsman. Fight for the empire!"

That day, the Fifth Prince of the Empire, who couldn't even wield a sword properly, ignited the morale of the Imperial soldiers. On the battlefield, the Holy Glory Army was like a raging lion, sweeping across all directions.

Quan Ji looked at the person in front of her and couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile.

She won so easily back then; this idiot actually helped her a lot.

Fine, in return, I'll give him a couple of pointers.

"Tighten your lower body, let your energy flow through your meridians and connect with your life star when you draw your sword, use your elbow to generate power, turn your wrist, and in your heart, shatter rivers and mountains. Spin your body and use the power of every part of your body, layering it up. Try it."
