106: Chapter 106 Battle

"I lack martial ethics? Hahaha..."

The Yao girl on the stage suddenly burst into loud laughter.

"Do you know that in our Yao Race, broken limbs are common during sparring? As long as the opponent doesn't yield, we must give them the respect they deserve—and that is beating them to death!"

"And..."

Xing Yaoyan's tone suddenly shifted.

"If I were the one at a disadvantage on stage just now, do you think the people around you would still be crying out against injustice for me?"

Saying this, she tilted her head back proudly, scanning the surroundings casually like a queen, and shouted loudly:

"In the end, this world respects only strength. If your power is insufficient, you just have to take it when others bully you. Stop your hypocritical verbal attacks; if you want to prove you're right, come up and defeat me. Do you... dare?"

As the last word fell, an Aura several times stronger than before violently erupted.

Xing Yaoyan was using almost her full power now, specifically to crush Xiao Meng and the others' confidence as much as possible, hoping they would retreat in the face of difficulty.

Below the stage, unlike the humans with their grim expressions, Ying Linglong and Leng Xiaoyue were trembling with excitement as they listened to the girl's impassioned speech.

On their phone's live stream, the comments were completely flooded with "Saintess is awesome," pinning the humans' condemnations firmly to the bottom.

A feeling called fanaticism spread through the heart of every Yao watching this scene.

"Exactly, this is the creed the Yao Race has always held—strength is supreme. To think it would be spoken by the Saintess in such a domineering way!"

Generally speaking, most of the Yao Race were not good with words. Every time they clashed with humans, they would first be denounced from a moral high ground before fighting; even if they won, it felt like they hadn't gained the upper hand.

Now, they finally got to see a Yao leave the humans speechless.

Countless Yao behind their screens actually teared up at the same time.

However, Xing Yaoyan on the stage didn't realize how much her somewhat performative speech had inspired the Yao Race. She had only one thought in her mind right now:

"Leave, leave quickly! I've acted so hard, don't come up and be a sucker!"

Although she kept her head held high in a facade of pride, her peripheral vision was constantly fixed on Xiao Meng and the others.

As she expected, Xiao Meng's face was flushed red, but she didn't have a single word of rebuttal.

Five minutes had passed. Just a little longer, and I can announce that this 'friendly exchange' has reached its Perfection.

Most of the Longxiang Academy's Tier 3 experts were currently away on missions. As long as Qian Mo and his group didn't step up, she would have no other opponents.

"Well then, since no one has come forward after so long..."

"Wait!"

Xing Yaoyan thought she was speaking very quickly, but she was still interrupted by a sudden voice.

Everyone quickly looked toward the source of the sound.

This shout was like a lighthouse in a storm, instantly steadying the restless hearts of the human crowd.

The crowd spontaneously parted to both sides, completely revealing the figures of Qian Mo and his two companions.

The one speaking was indeed Qian Mo.

Xing Yaoyan's pupils suddenly constricted.

And the youth's next words completely strangled her last sliver of hope.

"Truly powerful people in this world do not use their strength as an excuse to trample on the dignity of others..."

Xing Yaoyan stared straight at the shining youth surrounded by the crowd, watching him refute her with a blank expression but immense Aura.

A powerful Aura gradually rose along with his words. Although it wasn't yet equal to Xing Yaoyan's, it gave a faint feeling of being able to hold its own against her.

Qian Mo... if you really knew what I've been through, you would never say such high-sounding, self-righteous words to me again...

"Enough talk, come up and fight!"

Xing Yaoyan shoved her hands in her pockets, her dark gold eyes flashing with an imperceptible ripple.

"Fine! But I have a request."

"Speak. If you want to come at me all three at once, I'll take it."

The girl's words ignited the scene once again.

Arrogant!

This was the impression everyone, including the Yao, had of her.

The audience who had seen the previous live stream already had a deep impression of the arrogance of Kuang Tian from Feng Hu Ability University.

But compared to the girl now, it was like a small sorcerer meeting a great one.

Does she even know who she's provoking?

Qian Mo, ranked first in the national military training scores, with the glorious record of fighting a Tier 4 senior to a draw;

Xiao Meng, one of only two recorded mythical grade Superpower users of the new generation, and the first Beastmaster to contract a Yao;

Yun Lan, known as the most unpredictable Superpower user. Although he doesn't often fight (the self-cultivation of a gambler), there were legends of him making a Tier 6 combat department teacher suffer a setback.

Though the three of them were only freshmen, their fame was not at all inferior to established Tier 3 popular contestants like Captain Li Qiaoyan and Ning Yunyan.

Furthermore, those in the know could see it.

Regarding the previously defeated Captain Li Qiaoyan and Ning Yunyan, the former failed because her Superpower malfunctioned for unknown reasons, and the latter was suppressed because he was in a hurry to leave the stage.

If nothing unexpected happened, they could still put up a fight against the Yao girl on stage.

And now, the Yao girl on stage actually arrogantly wanted to take on all three at once. How much did she look down on them, how much did she look down on humans!

In the comments, the number of attacks against Xing Yaoyan increased, in turn suppressing the Yao comments.

Seeing this, Leng Xiaoyue and Ying Linglong both sneered with disdain.

These humans haven't seen the glorious deeds of Sister Yan fighting a hundred Yao alone back then. If they knew, wouldn't they kneel on the spot and beg for mercy?

Though they thought this, the two Yao still followed the local customs and turned into keyboard warriors. Ying Linglong even used her tail, determined to argue with the humans flooding the comments to the bitter end.

"It's meaningless for us to win a three-on-one, so I propose: three people on our side, three Yao on yours. A fair three-on-three."

A team fight?

Hearing the youth's words, Xing Yaoyan was clearly stunned for a moment.

She immediately understood. They wanted a fair duel so that winning would be honorable.

Moreover, she couldn't really use her full power against her old friends. Her arrogance just now was only to maintain her persona and to give them a final ultimatum to surrender.

Since the battle truly couldn't be avoided, then let there be battle!

"Fine! Come on!"

Xing Yaoyan gave a casual beckon behind her.

As two shadows flashed, an elegant youth stood behind her, and a cat-eared loli sat beside her, casually sharpening her long fingernails.

And opposite them.

Qian Mo and the other two were slowly walking onto the stage.

Beside him, Yun Lan had his hands behind his head, looking relaxed. The girl with the fox on her shoulder was a bit cautious, but her eyes were full of Battle Intent.

The two sides stood in position, and their invisible fields of pressure suddenly collided.

But the true clash of presence was happening between the leading girl and youth.

Xing Yaoyan: Come then, let me see if you are worthy of climbing to the peak with me.

Qian Mo: There's no helping it. Although the chance of losing face is high, the reward from the System is just too tempting...
