83: Sandstorm warrior Li Wei was defeated.

He let out a low growl, hurling the fireball in his palm—brimming with violent fire-type Superpower—at Jiang Xin like a cannonball from point-blank range! This strike concentrated all his power after shedding his armor; it was scorching, swift, and cunning!

However, within Jiang Xin's Kings Domain, he was the absolute ruler!

Jiang Xin's gaze sharpened, and the telekinetic pressure within the domain instantly surged to its limit!

To the shock of everyone watching, Blaze Ash's lightning-fast movements suddenly slowed down like a slow-motion scene in a movie! His striking palm and the flying fireball seemed trapped in invisible amber, their speed plummeting!

Jiang Xin simply tilted his body slightly, and the fireball—radiating terrifying heat and moving along a now-clearly visible trajectory—whistled past the edge of his clothes, exploding into a massive cloud of fire on the distant empty ground!

At the very moment the fireball brushed past him, Jiang Xin moved!

He spread the five fingers of his right hand and pressed them through the air toward the sluggish Blaze Ash!

"Repel!"

An irresistible, majestic surge of telekinetic power, like an invisible tidal wave, erupted! It slammed violently into Blaze Ash!

"Pfft—!"

Blaze Ash didn't even have time to react. He felt an unstoppable force crash into him, his chest tightening as if he’d been hit head-on by a high-speed train. He was instantly knocked off his feet and sent flying! He traced a long arc through the air before crashing miserably outside the boundary of the Training Ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Clean! Decisive! Without a hint of hesitation!

After a brief silence...

"Boom—!!!"

The Training Ground erupted with applause and cheers more frenzied than any before!

"Officer Jiang is mighty!"

"He was hiding his strength! Too strong!"

"Captain Blaze Ash of the blazing golden blade actually... lost in just a few moves?!"

"Was Captain Blaze Ash holding back? After all, he is the Commander..."

"Holding back? Didn't you see the flames suppressed into oil, and even the mecha blade shattered! Blaze Ash's final fireball was terrifying! It's just that Officer Jiang is too powerful!"

"The Orderly was right! The Commander's telekinetic Superpower is truly terrifying!"

Jiang Feifei looked at Jiang Xin standing proudly in the center of the field, her eyes sparkling with continuous brilliance, filled with pride.

"Next," Jiang Feifei's voice carried a hint of subtle anticipation, "let us welcome the Battlefield Rose of our base, a paragon of both wisdom and strength, the 'Dual-Wielding Valkyrie'—Major Tanya! Her opponent is the experienced and peerlessly defensive 'Sandstorm Warrior'—Li Wei!"

Tanya's figure appeared in the arena like a ghost. She was still in her signature tight-fitting combat suit, which traced her breathtaking curves. Her light brown short hair fluttered gently in the breeze, and her deep blue eyes were calm and waveless. Her appearance instantly drew the gaze of the entire audience, especially the men, whose eyes were filled with admiration and infatuation.

Li Wei walked onto the field steadily; he was tall, and his aura was as heavy as a mountain. His Earth-type Superpower was considered the natural enemy of high-speed melee assassins like Tanya—not only could he construct solid defenses to block her blades, but he could also launch wide-range sandstorm attacks to restrict her speed. However, such powerful field control also came with a massive drain on energy.

"Please!" Li Wei cupped his fists, his expression solemn. Facing Tanya, he didn't dare to be the least bit careless.

Tanya merely nodded slightly, and in the next instant, her figure vanished from where she stood!

The battle erupted instantly!

Tanya's figure was like a butterfly fluttering through flowers, moving at high speed around Li Wei and leaving trails of afterimages! The war god blade dual pistols in her hands spat out lethal energy beams like two cunning vipers, firing at Li Wei from various incredible angles! Every shot pointed precisely at energy nodes or weak spots!

Li Wei let out a low shout, and a brilliant earthy-yellow light surged around him! Metallic shields, guided by magnetic energy and rotating at high speed, instantly manifested, precisely parrying most of the beams! Meanwhile, the Black Dragon Saber in his hand unleashed heavy arcs of black saber qi, attempting to seal off Tanya's movement space. This specially-made saber was incredibly sturdy and could cause Tanya significant trouble.

However, Tanya's combat intelligence was beyond imagination! She was in no rush to close in for a heavy assault. Facing an "iron tortoise" like Li Wei, who was slow but had strong defense, her strategy was clear and lethal—continuous long-range fire suppression and attrition!

The war god blade dual pistols had no ammunition limits! Bullets poured down like a rainstorm! More terrifyingly, Tanya's shooting wasn't blind; every shot contained special energy that could continuously stack negative statuses like poisoning and paralysis! Although Li Wei's magnetic shields were solid, his energy consumption increased sharply under this high-frequency, high-precision, and effect-laden saturated bombardment! His movements began to grow sluggish, and the light of his shields started to flicker!

Tanya's movement technique was nimble to the extreme; Li Wei's clunky sandstorm attacks and saber qi simply couldn't catch her true body! She was like an elegant dancer weaving through a hail of bullets, while the dual pistols in her hands were like the scythe of a death god, continuously weakening her opponent.

Finally, after a large-scale sandstorm he tried to manifest had its energy node broken by a single shot from Tanya, a fatal gap appeared in Li Wei's defense!

"Bang bang bang!"

Three energy beams, as if they had eyes of their own, instantly pierced through the weak points of the shield and slammed hard into Li Wei's shoulder and leg armor! Although they failed to completely break his defense, the powerful impact and accompanying paralysis effect made him stagger!

How could Tanya let this opportunity slip? She instantly closed the distance! Instead of using the war god blade, she delivered a lightning-fast high-level side kick, which whipped like a steel lash against Li Wei's hastily raised arm!

"Bang!"

Li Wei let out a muffled groan. The immense force forced him back several steps, and his breathing became ragged. He knew that if the fight continued, he would eventually be worn down completely.

"I surrender!" Li Wei conceded, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness, but more so an acknowledgment of Tanya's strength. His defense had ultimately failed to hold out against the Valkyrie's endless, precise strikes.

"The winner—'Dual-Wielding Valkyrie' Tanya!" the referee announced loudly.

The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause and cheers! Tanya holstered her guns and stood tall, nodding slightly to Li Wei in respect, then gave the audience an elegant military salute. Her victory stemmed not only from her formidable strength but also from her impressive combat intelligence and composed, elegant demeanor.

If Zhang Lei and Jiang Xin won respect and worship based on absolute power, then what Tanya won was a deep-seated admiration and infatuation born from the perfect combination of strength and beauty. Her valiant and heroic figure, like the most dazzling star, was deeply etched into the heart of every spectator.
