Chapter 191 The Virtual Idol's First Appearance
In the following days, Tilan and her group gradually became familiar with the life at Crystal Lattice Academy, as well as the unique teaching style here.
Compared to the comprehensive elite education of Edith Academy, this place leaned more toward practical application. For example, Edith would have music appreciation classes, lectures on various clothing styles, and painting styles' evolution, occasionally allowing students to practically learn some arts. On the other hand, Crystal Lattice Academy focused on applying various transcendent formulas, expanding virtual technologies, adept use of AI to assist learning and work, and so on, with very few cultural courses, only touching on the necessary overviews.
Five days later, inside the 'Corundum Battle Arena' of Crystal Lattice Academy.
The vast area, the ground made of hard light blue corundum, was surrounded by five protective barriers to prevent the impact of the internal battle from affecting the audience.
At this moment, about a hundred students were watching, and in the center of the large circular platform, two students stood facing each other.
One was Lian Feng from Crystal Lattice Academy, the other was Sitasia from Edith Academy, both outstanding students of Sequence 5.
After getting to know each other, Crystal Lattice Academy had invited Tilan's group for an exchange study and arranged a friendly duel for today.@@@@
"Let's get this straight, my fighting style involves constructing a large number of Autonomous Units for firepower and numerical suppression, which is different from the traditional one-on-one concept of Transcendents," Lian Feng said before the battle. After donning his black with blue trim tactical gloves, he pressed a button on his overcoat, and a multitude of tiny blue particles scattered from behind him, gradually forming various lifelike objects behind him.
"I know, and you don't need to remind me every time. Since I'm standing here, I'm also mentally prepared," Sitasia replied as she stretched her arms, her bright red nails leaving a light red afterimage in the air, then extended her palm and a large black and red scythe slowly emerged into her hand.
"Did you get that?" Lian Feng said, patting his friend's shoulder as he stepped off the platform, while the other walked up without turning back.
"The new contender, Hilbert versus Sitasia."
Wearing blue single-sided square glasses with various data and cursors floating within, Hilbert analyzed Sitasia's parameters across from him. He then nodded to the referee, and the battle began.
No sooner had the announcement been made did both sides spring into action; this time, Hilbert learned from Lian Feng's experience and had begun simulating Sitasia's combat model. He found it clearly easier to dodge and resist.
Transparent crystals revolved around him, occasionally bursting forth with sharp spikes, then vanishing into thin air, unseen.

These invisible spikes were like landmines scattered around the arena; if one carelessly touched them, they would cut with sharp wounds, or even be impaled by exploding splinters.
Faced with such moves, Sitasia frowned but still launched an attack. This time, however, it was not as smooth as before. During her constant advances and assaults, she would always get cut by hidden spikes or have her scythe blocked suddenly, causing a deceleration and deviation in her position, giving her opponent a chance to dodge.
As time passed, Hilbert's construction of mechanical Autonomous Units began to appear. They floated like small Levitation cannons, continuously firing, and then some units were specifically designed to produce stumbling force fields, which increasingly limited Sitasia's movement within the arena, making her slower and slower until she finally ran out of steam and had to concede.
