411: Competition

The surging waves that had been falling from the sky suddenly lost their momentum and crashed violently onto the ground.

Gu Qinghan summoned his Dragon Bear, blocking all the water for Wang Yan and the other person.

He, however, walked directly out, like a playful child, exposing himself to the waterfall descending from the sky.

Jiang Xiaoyu, hidden in the water, his expression froze; he didn't know what Gu Qinghan meant at this moment.

After all, Gu Qinghan didn't seem to be a defensive Professional.

In his opinion, Gu Qinghan looked more like a ranged Professional.

But in the next second, he knew the answer.

Gu Qinghan's figure was enveloped by the raging waves, and at the same time, several ferocious Bone Spikes suddenly appeared around Jiang Xiaoyu.

If he hadn't been in the water at that moment, moving incredibly fast, he would definitely have been hit by these suddenly appearing Bone Spikes.

"How sinister!"

Jiang Xiaoyu cursed under his breath, then quickly swam away.

When Gu Qinghan emerged from the water, he looked at the seawater, which wasn't red, and sighed with a hint of regret.

When facing monsters, he could directly use a 'faking injury' tactic to continuously trade injuries.

After all, any injuries he sustained would be transferred to the Bear King.

But when facing Professionals, his 'faking injury' tactic would almost only be effective the first time.

And Piao Jun, having stolen the opponent's skill, didn't dare to use it directly at this moment.

The opponent could clearly control water, and the crashing waves would likely enhance the opponent's strength.

However, this way, the strength Jiang Xiaoyu could exert would be much less.

Ten seconds had already passed, and Jiang Xiaoyu didn't attack again this time; instead, he controlled the waves to crash against the stone wall created by Wang Yan.

Gu Qinghan thought about it but still didn't release Deaths Touch.

Deaths Touch was his biggest trump card, its combat power had already reached a terrifying five hundred thousand.

When its main body descended, its terrifying size and destructive power would definitely give the opponent a surprise.

But if he were to hunt that Giant Whale with Jiang Xiaoyu later, Gu Qinghan wouldn't feel safe completely entrusting his back to the opponent at sea.

It wasn't that he was overly suspicious, but the opponent had too great an advantage in the water; he had to be cautious.

"Gu Qinghan, lend me your Giant Whale skill for a bit!"

Just then, Gu Qinghan suddenly heard Piao Jun's voice.

He let out an "Ah?" and was thinking about how to lend it to the other party when he suddenly felt a sensation of being probed.

Subconsciously, he wanted to resist, but then he remembered Piao Jun's words and immediately stopped that thought.

Immediately after, Gu Qinghan felt something being drawn out from his body.

A trace of bone-white energy was drawn into Piao Jun's hand, and his expression suddenly became wonderful.

"This skill requires preparation; you probably can't use it."

Gu Qinghan reminded him, but he saw Piao Jun scoff disdainfully.

He held the bone-white energy in his hand, shook his head at Gu Qinghan, and said,

"Let me show you my second Holy Skill, it'll scare you to death!"

As his words fell, Piao Jun looked at the stones raised by Wang Yan and suddenly shouted loudly,

"Holy Skill: Sun Swapper!"

Under Gu Qinghan's shocked gaze, those shattered rocks suddenly trembled.

Immediately after, the rocks quickly gathered, gradually forming a gigantic whale made of stones.

The whale gently swayed its body; it lacked the agility of Gu Qinghan's own use, but it possessed an indescribable sense of profound weight.

"You... this...?"

Gu Qinghan was a bit dumbfounded now; he seemed to have completely not expected Piao Jun to have another Holy Skill.

And this skill could actually turn the shattered bones originally required to cast the skill into stones!

Piao Jun was very satisfied with Gu Qinghan's expression; he snorted,

"Keep your trump cards for now; after all, the City Lord can't just unleash his ultimate moves right away.

Don't be surprised, I only learned this skill not long ago."

After the gigantic stone Giant Whale formed, it slammed its tail hard on the ground, crashing into the water like a massive cannonball.

Wang Yan, at this moment, also didn't hesitate, once again drawing an arc on the ground with his axe handle.

A thicker stone wall formed around them, trapping all the surging seawater within.

The only side without a stone wall was facing Whale Fall City.

As soon as the stone wall formed, the stone Giant Whale crashed into the seawater.

This scene was no different from throwing a giant rock into a calm lake, a massive splash was almost a certainty.

But strangely, the scene people expected didn't occur; the stone Giant Whale landed on the water's surface and actually sank directly as if it had fallen into a blob of jelly.

No waves were generated.

In the seawater, Jiang Xiaoyu's approving voice suddenly rang out:

"So strong, there's actually a powerhouse who, like me, has obtained a second Holy Skill.

But as I said, this is the coast, and my advantage is too great.

If these are your only methods, I don't think you'll be able to catch me."

At this moment, everyone finally saw that the reason the stone Giant Whale didn't splash any waves was the ripples spreading across the water's surface.

The ripples were continuous, like successive tides, dissipating all the immense power.

"As a sign of respect, I can tell you my Professional name.

My Professional is called Tide-Caller's Shadow, and this is also my second Holy Skill.

This skill is called Surging Tide!"

At this moment, the constantly struggling stone Giant Whale was already submerged in the seawater, and everyone could see its body swaying in the water.

But precisely, tiny waves were constantly generated, neutralizing the power of this behemoth.

Clearly, Piao Jun and Jiang Xiaoyu's Holy Skills had resulted in a stalemate.

But the wager between the two sides was to catch Jiang Xiaoyu, and half a minute had already passed.

And Wang Yan's skill at this time could only create a restricting effect; his Professional leaned more towards defense.

Gu Qinghan looked at the constantly churning waves, his hand caressing an item.

It was an immortal grade item he had brought from the Time Rift: Stagnant Time.

If he used this item, he could indeed bring the opponent out in a short amount of time.

But it seemed a bit wasteful, yet he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Gu Qinghan also tried to have his Extreme Ice Wizard Skeletons freeze the seawater.

But there was too little time and too much water; the ice that had just formed shattered.

In the last ten seconds, Gu Qinghan silently sighed in his heart, preparing to use the effect of Stagnant Time.

But just then, Gu Qinghan suddenly felt everything around him slow down.

Piao Jun's annoyed expression, Wang Yan's resolute gaze, all flashed before his eyes as if on slow motion.

Time didn't stagnate, because Gu Qinghan knew he hadn't used the item yet.

He seemed to suddenly think of something and looked towards Whale Fall City.

Among the crowd, he saw a familiar figure looking at him, revealing a sweet smile.

That was... Chen Yuting!
