355: Chapter 355 Yao Yao's Anger

Epic Rank challenging Mythic Rank. Theoretically, this was almost impossible to achieve. No matter how many tricks Lin Yu had, what could he do under the absolute suppression of energy and laws? Zhong Huai's words surfaced in Wen Yan's mind.

"A natural chasm... he defeated himself." He looked at Lin Yu's silhouette. At this moment, Lin Yu was just like his childhood friend from years ago.

Unwilling to accept. Refusing to believe in fate. But reality was often far more cruel than imagination.

Wen Yan did not leave.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how this "natural chasm" would manifest.

Perhaps Lin Yu's failure would allow him to completely let go of the obsession in his heart.

Lin Yao looked at Zhao Tianyang, who had retreated behind Lin Yu. A touch of mockery appeared on her face.

"You should just stay on Brother's side," Lin Yao said to Zhao Tianyang.

"With the two of you added together, maybe you can actually trade a few blows with me."

These words were like an invisible wind blade sweeping across the spectator stands. The intern analysts' bodies stiffened.

It's over, Old Zhao is definitely going to explode!

Of all the people this Little Girl could provoke, she had to pick Zhao Tianyang!

"This... Zhao Tianyang actually didn't react?" an intern asked in a low voice.

Another intern pushed up his glasses. "Doesn't he have a terrible temper?"

They looked at Zhao Tianyang again. Zhao Tianyang still had his eyes closed, his lips moving slightly. He completely ignored Lin Yao's words. The interns looked at each other in dismay.

"Is this still Zhao Tianyang?" one person blurted out.

Wen Yan's body leaned forward slightly. Zhao Tianyang's reaction was indeed beyond his expectations.

Whether it was from the data or the events and people he had encountered, everything indicated that Zhao Tianyang had a bad temper and was easily triggered.

Why was he so docile?

To remain indifferent even when faced with Lin Yao's relentless provocation?

Was he just beaten senseless?

Or could it be... a sharp glint flashed in Wen Yan's eyes, could it be a Divine Revelation Mission?

Lin Yao's provocation received no response. She curled her lip in boredom. But this was fine too; without Zhao Tianyang, she could concentrate all her firepower on her big brother.

"Are you ready?" Lin Yao asked.

Lin Yu cracked his neck. The cracks on his armor had completely healed. His energy was full. He simply looked at Lin Yao.

"Anytime," Lin Yu said.

"Both sides in position, let the battle begin!" The electronic voice echoed throughout the arena.

The electronic voice echoed throughout the arena.

The moment the voice fell, a heavy silence enveloped the entire S-Class Duel Arena.

Lin Yu and Lin Yao did not move immediately; instead, they tacitly pulled back to gain distance.

Between the two of them, across hundreds of meters of deep blue alloy flooring, they faced each other from afar.

The air was tense.

In the spectator stands, the fingers of the two intern analysts hovered over their keyboards, even their breathing becoming light.

"Brother, I'm coming at you," Lin Yao spoke, breaking the silence.

On her small face, battle intent surged, with no trace of her usual spoiled behavior remaining.

Lin Yu stood firm, his black armor reflecting the cold metallic light under the glow of the dome.

He didn't take any combat stance, just stood there casually, making a "please" gesture toward Lin Yao.

"Yao Yao, you are of a magic-type class."

Lin Yu's statement was calm and clear, carrying across the vast field.

"A mage's battle requires chanting; it requires time to construct the most powerful spell models."

"Therefore, I won't take advantage of you."

He paused, adding word by word.

"I am willing to give you enough time to chant any spell you want, no matter how long the wind-up is."

"I will not interrupt you."

As soon as these words were spoken.

In the spectator stands, an intern analyst's hand jerked, nearly spilling coffee onto the control console.

"What... what is he saying?"

"Giving a Mythic Rank mage unlimited chanting time? Is he insane!"

The other person also widened their eyes, staring fixedly at Lin Yu on the screen as if looking at a monster.

Inside the Duel Arena.

Lin Yao froze entirely.

Her head buzzed as if countless strings had snapped simultaneously.

The anger from being slighted earlier, stimulated by Lin Yu's words, instantly transformed into a towering inferno, making her whole body tremble.

Not take advantage of her?

Give her enough time?

This was no longer just being slighted!

This was an insult!

It was treating her like a child who needed to be "given a head start" to show her strength!

She had worked so hard, trained in bitter seclusion, and created earth-shattering ultimate techniques—for what?

It was so she could stand side-by-side with her brother, not stand behind him and accept this kind of condescending "care"!

"Lin Yu!"

Lin Yao was beyond furious, no longer even calling him brother.

"You brought this on yourself!"

Her voice became somewhat shrill due to extreme rage.

The interns in the spectator stands sucked in a breath of cold air.

It's over.

This little lady has completely blown her top.

Lin Yao wasted no more words.

Since Lin Yu was letting her charge up a big move, she really stood her ground and began accumulating energy as if no one else were there.

She held her arms out level, her fair fingers weaving complex trajectories in front of her.

Ancient and obscure syllables spilled from her lips, each word carrying a strange magic that drew in the free-floating energy in the space.

In an instant, the clouds and winds shifted.

With Lin Yao as the center, the energy within the Duel Arena began to riot frantically.

Fire elements turned into burning fireflies, water elements condensed into cold mist, wind elements gathered into shrieking blades, and lightning elements became leaping electric snakes... Countless distinct elemental energies now coexisted in an eerie harmony, circling and dancing around her, forming a massive and brilliant energy vortex.

"Warning! Ultra-high-spec energy reaction detected!"

"Energy levels are climbing exponentially!"

"Estimated destructive power has exceeded the predetermined value! Requesting activation of Multiple Energy Diversion Runes!"

The intern analysts operated their consoles in a scramble, their faces filled with horror.

They had never seen such a terrifying casting prelude.

This wasn't a duel; this was clearly the creation of a miniature nuclear bomb!

"Captain Wen!" an intern looked at Wen Yan anxiously, "Lin Yu... why isn't he moving yet! Is he really going to tank this hit head-on?"

"There is no way to tank it head-on anymore. The elements in the arena are being drawn by Lin Yao, forming a small elemental vacuum. Lin Yu can only rely on himself now."

Wen Yan remained silent.

His gaze was locked firmly on Lin Yu.

Lin Yu indeed did not move.

He just stood there quietly, letting Lin Yao stir up an energy storm that could destroy heaven and earth.

Of course, he wasn't simply giving his sister a head start.

He himself also needed just a little bit of wind-up time.

Though it was much faster compared to Lin Yao's.

More importantly.

How to defeat Lin Yao was what he needed to consider.

Lightning Spell?

No.

The destructive power was too terrifying. This girl was currently in a fit of rage; if he didn't hold back and actually shocked her badly, his parents would definitely skin him alive when he got home.

Pyroblast?

Also no, for the same reason as above.
