74: Chapter 74 Idol

"Achoo!"

Xing Yaoyan sneezed without warning.

"I feel like someone's thinking about me..."

All around her, dozens of Yao were lying on the ground in various states of disarray. Some of the more timid ones even shuddered when she sneezed.

The golden battle armor on her body had been put away, replaced once more by her previous gold-patterned robe.

"Wow! Sister Yan, you're so amazing! Meow~"

Ying Linglong, who had mostly recovered, ran over and threw herself into Xing Yaoyan's arms.

Her tail wagged back and forth—a subconscious movement whenever she was happy.

In her heart, Xing Yan's figure was so tall and majestic, so captivating for a kitty...

In the distance, Ying Dian and the others who were still watching the battle had become completely numb.

They had thought that because they had dominated the top ten for so long, they were the geniuses of their respective clans and the future hope of the Yao Race. They never expected to be taught a lesson today by a wolf demon who appeared out of nowhere.

One against a hundred... and among those hundred-plus Yao, the majority were third-rank. This... this could only be described as unheard of.

What was even more terrifying was that, besides that golden light substance that could transform into various weapons, this White Wolf Girl possessed an innumerable number of skills.

During the fight, she was always able to find a corresponding skill to counter the different Innate Talents of the various Yao, even though those skills were very similar to the Innate Talents of other Yao...

"Alright, alright. Didn't you say you're an adult? Why are you still hugging me like a child?"

Xing Yaoyan couldn't help but rub Ying Linglong's head. Her slightly cool fingertips accidentally brushed against the cat ears, causing the girl to tremble slightly.

With a blushing face, Ying Linglong looked up at Xing Yaoyan—who sounded dismissive but actually had a smile hanging from the corner of her mouth—and said firmly:

"Sister Yan, one day I will be as strong as you."

"Oh? Then keep at it."

Xing Yaoyan hadn't expected her to say something like that.

But seeing her somewhat stubborn appearance, a gentle chord in her heart was suddenly struck.

Ying Linglong's words weren't hidden from the other Yao present, so her conversation with Xing Yaoyan was heard clearly by everyone.

"That's right, we're still young, there's still a chance."

"As long as I work hard, why shouldn't I be able to reach her level?"

"Great Master, I have attained enlightenment!"

...

The crowd of Yao felt deeply moved, their youthful blood beginning to boil with passion.

"Eh? Why haven't you all withdrawn yet? Do you really want me to take action?"

Xing Yaoyan's words were like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguishing the youthful passion that had just begun to burn.

The fear of being dominated by the White Wolf Girl once again took the high ground.

"Excuse me... can we not leave? Don't worry, we won't disturb you again..."

A snake demon closest to her pleaded for mercy.

After all, there was only one chance a month. Leaving after being inside for barely ten minutes felt like too much of a loss.

*Smack!*

A golden fist came down, and the snake demon instantly turned into a shower of light.

"I'll ask one more time. Will you withdraw yourselves, or should I do it for you?"

Xing Yaoyan curled her lip inwardly.

You were just righteously ganging up on me, and now you want to beg me to let you off? You're dreaming...

Seeing this, the other Yao knew they had no chance and began to choose to withdraw on their own.

There were also some dishonest ones who tried to run away, but their Demonic Power was less than ten percent of its original level. Furthermore, Xing Yaoyan had used a certain Spider Demon's Innate Talent to secretly set up invisible Power Of Will threads in the surroundings.

Any fleeing Yao would be instantly paralyzed upon contact, eventually becoming nothing more than lambs to the slaughter with no ability to resist.

Finally, as the last Yao vanished into light, a large area around them became empty.

Only the deep craters on the ground and the broken trees served as evidence that an earth-shaking battle had taken place here.

"Hey! You guys over there have watched the show long enough, right? Didn't you want to clash with me earlier? What's wrong, don't you dare? Don't you pride yourselves on being geniuses and the future hope of the Yao Race?"

Sure enough, after she spoke those provocative words, the nine Yao in front all clenched their fists.

However, still not a single one of them came forward to challenge her.

While they had the arrogance of geniuses, they did not have the conceit of fools.

"The winner is king" had always been the creed etched into every Yao in the Kingdom of Myriad Demons. As long as she was stronger than you, then whatever she said was right, and you had to take it.

Besides, many of them still had several days left that they could spend in the Beast Arena. To be beaten out by her now would be quite a waste...

Thus, the atmosphere remained frozen for a moment.

Looking at the group of Yao who were clearly angry but still standing in place, Xing Yaoyan also felt that things were a bit difficult to handle.

She also knew the rules here. Affecting someone else's Cultivation without any justification was indeed somewhat improper.

"How about this, I won't make you withdraw. You just stand there and shout 'I surrender' at the top of your lungs."

Xing Yaoyan revealed a friendly smile.

There was no other way; she had a mission, and she had to go through the necessary procedures.

"Brother Kuang, how about we go up and give it our all? This woman is way too arrogant!"

Ying Dian's temper flared up instantly, and he wished he could just rush over and have a showdown with Xing Yaoyan.

"A warrior can be killed but not insulted. I would rather be beaten out by her than yield so casually..."

"No! Don't!"

Suddenly, a cry of alarm came from the White Wolf Girl in the distance.

The Yao were startled and saw that the White Wolf Girl's body was actually gradually becoming illusory.

They knew this was the sign of an active withdrawal.

"I didn't want to withdraw! This bracelet must be broken! Ying Linglong, Leng Xiaoyue, what are you standing there for? Help me see if I can..."

The White Wolf Girl suddenly turned into light and vanished, leaving only Ying Linglong and Ying Dian's two groups of Yao staring at each other in silence...

Xing Yaoyan felt a flash before her eyes, and the next moment, she found herself in the teleportation room.

The bracelet on her hand had automatically disappeared; it seemed it had been reclaimed during the teleportation process.

"Sigh... I was just about to get one step closer to completing the mission..."

She sighed inwardly and began to calculate whether she should wait here until they came out to finish the fight they hadn't had.

"Congratulations, Saintess. Your mission is complete."

Tushan Qing's voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"Com... complete..."

Xing Yaoyan found it hard to believe for a moment; happiness had come quite suddenly.

"From now on, find me in the Arena's meeting room within ten minutes. The reward won't wait past the deadline~"

"Tsk, playing the time limit game now. You don't know that the first thing I did when I entered the Arena was memorize the layout map in the hall. The meeting room is right next to this teleportation room. That reward is as good as mine..."

Xing Yaoyan thought Tushan Qing was trying to pull a fast one on her, using her unfamiliarity with the Arena as a newcomer to trick her.

But after she turned her head, she realized the real reason Tushan Qing had said that.

The entrance to the teleportation room was packed with a dense crowd of Yao—they were all the ones she had just forcibly thrown out.

At this moment, none of them were speaking; they were all staring fixedly at her.

"Wh-what? Still want to fight..."

Xing Yaoyan felt a bit creeped out by their gazes; she really wasn't good at dealing with this kind of situation.

To her surprise, almost at the same time, those Yao all broke into excited smiles and rushed toward her in unison.

"Idol! Give me an autograph!"
