Chapter 1060 The Magician

Zijing shuttled through the ruins of the simulated city, his figure moving quickly between the broken walls, avoiding the attacks of the simulated Honkai beasts and the dead soldiers. Kallen stood on a high platform, observing Zijing's every move through a telescope, and giving instructions through the intercom from time to time.

"Amethyst, watch your left side, there's an assassin approaching!" Kallen's voice rang in Amethyst's earphones. He immediately rolled over to dodge and counterattacked, punching the assassin in the chest.

Then a red light suddenly lit up in the simulation scene, indicating that Zijing was injured. Looking down, he found that his movements were still slow. His left thigh had been scratched by the nails of the assassin, leaving three bloody scratches.

Amethyst also wears a supporting device for this simulation training system on her head, which can simulate the feeling of being injured, allowing the trainee to experience the tension and danger of combat without actually being injured.

The boy gasped slightly and really felt the pain in his thigh.

"Are you okay?"

Kallen's voice came through the intercom again.

"I'm fine, Miss Kallen."

Amethyst quickly adjusted her breathing and responded.

Kallen nodded. Although she was not good at teaching, she knew how to survive in actual combat. Through the telescope, she saw Amethyst recover quickly and continue to shuttle through the ruins, dodging and counterattacking the simulated enemy's attacks.

"Remember, every injury is an opportunity to learn," Kallen continued to instruct, "Analyze your movements, find out why you got hurt, and then improve it."

Zijing nodded and began to observe the surrounding environment more carefully. He was injured many times because of sneak attacks from enemies in the dark. In addition, there were too many enemies and he couldn't kill them quickly enough. He was soon surrounded. After finally escaping, he was covered in wounds.

So next, he used the ruins in the simulated city as cover, set traps, lured the Honkai beasts and the Death Soldiers in, and then defeated them one by one with precise and powerful attacks.

On the other side of the simulated battlefield, some human enemies with guns began to appear, along with a number of five-story-high tank-level Honkai beasts. These could not be dealt with using ordinary traps.

Zijing's actions were swift and decisive. He used his strength advantage to kick down the load-bearing wall of the building next to him. The wall was designed to be strong enough in the simulation system, but under Zijing's powerful blow, it collapsed with a loud bang, raising a large amount of dust and debris, forming a barrier that blocked the sight of the simulated Honkai beasts and the dead soldiers who were chasing him.

This sudden change caused the enemies to lose their target instantly, and Zijing took the opportunity to move and quietly came to a more advantageous tactical position. He used this opportunity to reassess the battlefield situation and look for the next best time to attack.

Kallen had lost Amethyst's position, at least the telescope was not enough to find him again, so she reached out to activate the system's tracking lens. Next to her, the figure of Amethyst hiding behind the window of a building was projected.

“This child is very talented~”

Kallen felt somewhat relieved, as she had trained many novice Valkyries when she had nothing to do, but none of them could adapt to circumstances as well as Amethyst.

The report said that Zijing had indeed personally experienced the Honkai event and had faced Honkai beasts head-on, but not many times.

Otto usually doesn't let his assistant go to the battlefield in person.

That report mentioned that Zijing was pierced through the body when he was fighting a small palace-level Honkai beast. Now facing so many enemies, although he was very embarrassed at the beginning, he quickly adapted.

The great progress made Kallen see the shadow of the former Chief Valkyrie of Destiny in Amethyst. That child was truly talented, but unfortunately, she died in a Honkai event decades ago. It was said that an extremely powerful Honkai beast had appeared. If she had not risked her life to stop it, the city under attack would not have experienced the miracle of "zero casualties".

Kallen looked a little lonely. She had lived for hundreds of years, and therefore she looked at the Valkyries of Destiny as if they were her own descendants.

One of the reasons why she wants to solve the Honkai incident is that she doesn't want to see her descendants die again.

When Karin came to her senses, she found that Zijing had appeared at the feet of a 20-meter-tall Honkai beast, surrounded by some knocked-down human enemies with guns.

There were countless wounds of varying sizes on the boy's body, and the pain was transmitted directly to his brain through the device, making it almost impossible for him to stand.

But for some reason, just as the giant foot of the Honkai Beast was about to step down, Zijing looked at the black shadow that almost covered the sky above, and the thoughts in his mind inexplicably became clearer.

The pain seemed to disappear, and Zijing's eyes were filled with the huge Honkai beast and its huge foot that was about to fall. His body reacted instinctively, and he quickly rolled to the side to avoid being trampled by the Honkai beast. While rolling, his eyes quickly scanned the Honkai beast's body, as if looking for a weakness.

New enemies were simulated, and countless small Honkai beasts and assassins surrounded Amethyst.

As if by muscle memory, he stretched out a hand and pointed at the enemy rushing towards him.

His pupils felt an inexplicable pain, and a hint of black appeared in his blue-purple eyes, but it quickly disappeared as if it was suppressed.

Zijing was stunned, as if something that should have happened did not happen, and even he himself didn't know why he had this feeling.

The assassins bit and stomped on him with giant feet. Zijing's simulated training was completely ended because of his brief daze.

Not only did he not know why this happened, even Kallen, who had been observing Zijing, didn't know what he was doing.

So Kallen quickly stopped the simulation system, got off the platform, and quickly came to Zijing's side.

"What happened just now? You could have avoided those attacks. Why?"

There was no rebuke in Kallen's tone, only confusion. Seeing Zijing still looking distracted, she became a little worried again, "Are you feeling unwell? Cheng Lixue said earlier that you felt sleepy for no reason on the way here. Is it related to that?"

"No, it's okay, Ms. Karen, I just feel a little weird..."

Zijing was still thinking about his actions, and his voice was a little confused. He turned to Kallen and asked a question that seemed unrelated to training: "Ms. Kallen, although it may be a bit strange for me to say this... Do you think there are magicians in this world?"

"...?"
