112: Chapter 112 Sister Qing, thank you for your hard work.

"Zhao Yan! Shield!"

Zhang Kui roared.

Zhao Yan brought his arms together, and the two Spiked Shields merged into one, forming a massive shield wall to block for the three of them.

Just as the shield wall stood up, Ye Qing appeared directly above it.

The Rift Jellyfish tentacles on her right leg swayed again.

Spatial Jump!

She bypassed the shield wall and appeared behind Zhao Yan.

Forest Entanglement!

Several thick vines burst from the ground, binding Zhao Yan's arms and legs.

Zhao Yan struggled, and the spikes on the Spiked Shield exploded with light, cutting several vines, but they only wrapped tighter. He was bundled into a ball, unable to move.

"Su Qian!" Zhang Kui shouted.

Su Qian moved.

The wings on her back snapped open, and she turned into a greenish-gray afterimage, instantly circling to Ye Qing's side.

The Orchid Mantis arm blade on her right arm traced an arc, aiming straight for the back of Ye Qing's neck.

Ye Qing didn't even turn her head. She raised her left hand, activating Shadow Moss's Shadow Entanglement.

Countless dark green threads surged from her palm, wrapping around Su Qian's arm blade like living things.

The threads were thinner and tougher than vines, snaking along the blade's curve to tightly bind the connection between her wrist and the arm blade.

Su Qian's slash stopped mid-air, only three inches from the back of Ye Qing's neck.

"Your speed is decent."

Ye Qing turned around and looked at her.

"But your strength is too lacking."

Su Qian gritted her teeth, and the Phantom Lizard armor on her waist lit up—Phantom Illusion Clone!

Her figure split into three, and the three afterimages fled in different directions simultaneously.

Ye Qing didn't give chase; she simply stood in place, her left hand's fingers splayed open.

Ghost Poison Spores!

Countless tiny dark green spores drifted from her palm, silently spreading and covering half the arena.

The three afterimages crashed into the spore cloud at once. Spores attached to the images, but only one shadow's spores began to glow—that was the true body.

Only the true body had spiritual energy fluctuations for the spores to attach to.

The tentacles on Ye Qing's right leg swayed. Spatial Jump.

She appeared before Su Qian's true body, and the Shadow Entanglement of the Shadow Moss activated again, threads wrapping around Su Qian's wrist and arm blade.

Su Qian struggled, the Orchid Mantis arm blade cutting frantically, but the threads only wrapped tighter.

Ye Qing clenched her left hand, activating Spirit Power Drain. Su Qian's spiritual energy surged into Ye Qing's body through the threads. Her face instantly turned pale, the Swift Shadow Skylark armor plates on her back dimmed, the Phantom Illusion Clone automatically deactivated, and the three afterimages dissipated.

Zhang Kui wanted to help, but Ye Qing's Spatial Jump was too fast; he couldn't keep up at all.

He gritted his teeth, the flames on his right arm's Crimson Flame Tiger Claws surged, and the armor of the Flame-Stepping Leopard Cat on his left leg lit up simultaneously—Flowing Fire Tide!

Crimson flames surged toward Ye Qing like a tide, and the temperature of the entire arena rose abruptly.

Ye Qing didn't dodge. The Emerald Circlet on her forehead lit up, and the Forest Whisper Velvet Deer's Dust-Cleansing Light condensed into an emerald barrier before her.

The flames crashed against the barrier like waves hitting a reef, splashing in all directions.

Zhang Kui's spiritual energy was consumed frantically, but the barrier didn't budge an inch.

He gave a roar, and the Flame Explosion Mountain Bear armor on his right arm activated simultaneously—Explosive Augmentation!

The flames on the Crimson Flame Tiger Claws instantly surged, their color changing from crimson to incandescent white, and the temperature doubled.

The emerald barrier began to tremble, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

Ye Qing's brow furrowed slightly. The tentacles on her right leg swayed, and she vanished with a Spatial Jump.

Zhang Kui's flames lost their target and slammed directly into Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan, bound by vines and unable to move, took the incandescent flames on his Spiked Shield. The shield's surface instantly turned red-hot. Zhao Yan screamed as the vines were burned away, and he was blasted backward, hitting the light screen and sliding to the ground.

"Zhao Yan!"

Zhang Kui's expression changed drastically.

Ye Qing appeared behind Zhang Kui, and the Shadow Moss's Ghost Poison Spores activated once more.

The spores attached to Zhang Kui's Crimson Flame Tiger Claws, his arms, and his chest.

The moment the spores entered his body, Zhang Kui felt numb all over, his spiritual energy became disordered, the flames on the Crimson Flame Tiger Claws flickered, and the Flame Explosion Mountain Bear's Explosive Augmentation automatically deactivated.

He staggered back, his legs weakening, and sank to one knee.

Su Qian crawled up from the ground, the Orchid Mantis arm blade on her right hand re-condensing.

She glanced at the kneeling Zhang Kui and then at Zhao Yan lying on the ground, then gritted her teeth and charged at Ye Qing.

The Swift Shadow Skylark's Thousand Feather Dance activated, and countless greenish-gray feather blades shot out from her back, pouring toward Ye Qing like a rainstorm.

Ye Qing turned, her right leg's tentacles swayed, and she used Spatial Jump to get behind Su Qian, activating Forest Entanglement again.

Vines burst from the ground, binding Su Qian's legs and arms.

She struggled, the Orchid Mantis arm blade cutting the vines, but they only wrapped tighter. The Swift Shadow Skylark's feather blades dissipated before they could finish firing.

Ye Qing raised her left hand, the Shadow Entanglement threads wrapping around Su Qian's arm blade, and Spirit Power Drain activated again.

Su Qian's spiritual energy was drained frantically, her face turning pale as paper. The Orchid Mantis arm blade automatically deactivated, and the Swift Shadow Skylark armor plates on her back retracted.

Her legs gave way, and she slumped to the ground.

The arena fell silent.

Zhang Kui knelt on the ground, the flames of the Crimson Flame Tiger Claws extinguished, and the Flame Explosion Mountain Bear and Flame-Stepping Leopard Cat Armorizations automatically deactivated.

Zhao Yan lay by the light screen, his Spiked Shield retracted, his arms hanging powerlessly at his sides.

Su Qian slumped on the ground, gasing for air.

Ye Qing landed back on the ground, the Rift Jellyfish tentacles on her right leg retracted, and the Forest Whisper Velvet Deer's circlet and Shadow Moss armor faded away.

She clapped her hands and turned to walk back to Lin Fan's side.

"The fight's over."

Lin Fan picked up Little Rabbit from his lap and stood up.

"Sister Qing, hard work, hard work."

Ye Wushuang straightened up from the light screen, and Thunder Charge let out a yawn on his shoulder.

Zhang Kui knelt on the stage, looking up at Ye Qing, his lips trembling.

"You... you are exactly..."

Ye Qing glanced back at him.

"Ye Qing. Genius beautiful girl Breeder plus Beast Armor Master."

She paused, "Next time before you challenge someone, find out exactly who your opponent is."

Zhang Kui's face went from red to white, then from white to green. He struggled to stand, helped Zhao Yan and Su Qian up, and walked off the stage with his head down.

The light screen closed again, and silence returned to the arena.

Lin Fan sat back down and continued to pet Little Rabbit.

"This is the level of the sixth rank?"

Ye Qing leaned against the light screen.

"It's alright. That girl's assassin path is quite interesting. The combination of Phantom Illusion Clone and Tail-Shedding Escape is good; she can both fight and run."

Lin Fan nodded thoughtfully.

In truth, the strength of these people represented those Beast Armor Masters with mediocre Aptitude and ordinary backgrounds.

If not for his Heaven-Defying Golden Finger, the ten thousand armor beast record, with his Trash talent, he would probably still be stuck in the Armor Warrior Realm.

...

The three of them waited for an unknown amount of time before the second group of challengers arrived.

However, the strength of this group was considerably worse than the previous one, and the battle ended quickly.

By the end of the second round, they still hadn't seen a third group of challengers.
