Chapter 65 - Next Time, It Might Not Be This Price
Bang!
Meng Li descended from the sky while swinging her sword through the air.
The arena tiles cracked instantly!
Poof!
However, Ying Xiaocheng, who was hit, suddenly turned into white mist and disappeared.
"Fake?"
Meng Li was surprised.
"Heh! I've watched your match replays, so I know that you have a brief crowd control immunity skill. By the way, every single one of my clones can release the main body's skills."
Ying Xiaocheng revealed a triumphant smile.
Her class was the SS-Rank "Destined Ninja."
Although the skill cooldowns of this class were relatively long in the early stages, every clone could unleash these skills.
And the skill cooldowns weren’t synchronized with the true body.
She deliberately exposed a flaw just to force Meng Li to use her Super Armor skill.
Then, during her skill cooldown period, she could finish her off!
The so-called instructor's mission…
Something about finishing this girl off in three minutes was actually all a facade.
A flaw deliberately sold to Meng Li.
The dark horses that could rank in the top five weren’t easy to deal with.
They all had extremely strong combat methods and techniques. The competition was a game of trump cards.
"Fire Style: Prairie Fire!"
Four Ying Xiaochengs took a deep breath, their hands forming seals rapidly.
Their flat lower abdomens bulged exaggeratedly, and then with a ‘pfft’...
They spewed out raging fire, sweeping across the arena!
"Ghost God Step!"
Looking at the raging fire approaching her from all directions, Meng Li frowned slightly.
She used Ghost God Step directly, and her body entered the ethereal state!
"Very good! Forced out another skill."
Seeing Meng Li release "Ghost God Step," the corners of Ying Xiaocheng's mouth rose slightly.
However, before she could be happy for a moment.
A heavy greatsword suddenly broke through the raging fire, flying horizontally towards her face!
With a loud ‘Bang!’...
Another clone was smashed into white mist and dissipated.
Now, only the last three clones remained on the field.
"Damn it! Did she use the flames as cover to throw the greatsword directly in her hand?"
Ying Xiaocheng frowned while retreating quickly in response.
"She’ll definitely go to get her weapon. At that time, I’ll use 'Shadow Binding Technique' to control her again!"
Just as Ying Xiaocheng was thinking this…
A petite figure suddenly passed through the flames and leaped straight in front of her!
Bending her elbow, she swung her slender arm and smashed it fiercely onto Ying Xiaocheng’s chest.
Bang!
The terrifying force directly blasted the latter's body, flying backward!
Then, with a ‘poof’, another clone turned into white mist and disappeared.
"A 50% probability, and I didn't guess right?"
Meng Li frowned. She didn't expect her luck to be so bad.
After dealing with the clone, she took advantage of the momentum to jump back, wanting to pick up her greatsword smoothly.
"Shadow Binding Technique!"
At the same time, Ying Xiaocheng reacted quickly, seizing this opportunity to unleash her skill together with the last clone.
Swish swish swish!
Two slender shadows rushed towards Meng Li rapidly, covering her shadow directly.
Meng Li's body paused suddenly, her hand that was about to touch the greatsword freezing in mid-air.
"Very good, caught you!"
Ying Xiaocheng felt joy in her heart!
But to be on the safe side, with a thought…
She manipulated her last clone to launch a close-range surprise attack on Meng Li!
"Heh!"
However, just as this clone was about to slit Meng Li's throat…
She suddenly grabbed the greatsword, exerting force with one hand abruptly!
Bang!
Swinging the heavy greatsword, she followed through with a horizontal sweep!
Directly cutting Ying Xiaocheng's last clone in half at the waist, turning it into white mist.
"How could it be? Is the cooldown of your Super Armor skill that fast!?"
Ying Xiaocheng was greatly shocked.
"Ghost Shadow Slash!"
Meng Li's movements didn't pause. After dealing with the clone, she unleashed her skill again.
She stomped heavily on the ground with one foot!
With a ‘bang’, she turned into an afterimage.
Swinging her greatsword, she attacked Ying Xiaocheng's main body fiercely.
"Damn it!"
Ying Xiaocheng gritted her teeth and frowned, using the "Accelerate" skill to retreat quickly.
At this moment, all four of her skills were on cooldown.
Going head-to-head with Meng Li would definitely be a disadvantage for her.
"Fortunately, my speed isn’t inferior to hers. As long as I continue to pull away and wait for my skill cooldowns, I can..."
She was planning her next countermeasure in her heart.
However!
At this moment, Meng Li, who was still ten meters away from her, suddenly glowed with dazzling black light.
"Oblique Moon Ghost Slash!"
Simultaneously! Meng Li swung her greatsword with one hand, slashing horizontally at the air.
A horizontal black sword qi instantly erupted for it!
It turned into a wide semicircular black moon, rushing and crashing straight ahead.
Fast and powerful!
Even the earth cracked wherever it passed.
"Large-range long-distance attack?"
Ying Xiaocheng's pupils contracted. Before she could react…
Her body had already been cut in half at the waist by the terrifying sword qi!
"Damn it! Hasn't she already used three skills?"
Ying Xiaocheng looked at Meng Li unwillingly.
Ghost God Step, Ghost Shadow Slash, plus a Super Armor skill.
Meng Li, who was only Level 28, shouldn't have been able to use a fourth skill.
Could it be...
Did she have an SSS-Rank class that had awakened a trait?
Her Super Armor was actually... just a passive!?
"The Agent behind her is really extravagant."
Ying Xiaocheng took a deep breath.
It was hard for her to imagine that someone would give away such a powerful SSS-Rank Class Card to a Demi-human.
"Opponent lost combat capability, Kaiyang Academy's Meng Li wins!"
After being stunned for a few seconds, the referee immediately announced the result.
At the same time.
Inside the VIP box.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! My two million!"
"Damn it, this Demi-human actually had an SSS-Rank class that has awakened a trait?"
"Who the fuck could have guessed this!?"
"I've never heard of this kind of SSS-Rank class before. It's most likely a new variety."
The whole venue was in an uproar.
SSS-Rank classes were rare, to be sure…
But an SSS-Rank that could awaken a trait before Level 50 was the rarest of the rare!
At this moment, Ji Baixi was also dumbfounded as she stood up abruptly.
Biting her pink lips tightly, the two peaks on her chest heaved continuously.
"Damn it!"
Besides her heartache over the tens of millions she bet, she felt a burning pain on her cheeks even more.
Looking at Ying Xiaocheng being carried down by the rescue team on the large screen…
She felt a wave of stuffiness in her chest.
After taking deep breaths for a long time, only then did she regain her composure.
"It's fine, it's fine. I still have Chu Tianhe. If it's him... he definitely won't let me down!"
She sat down again while stroking her chest, constantly comforting herself.
"Holy crap! Precious disciple, you got rich this time!"
Xu Qingfeng looked at Meng Li, who successfully entered the top eight, his beard straightening with excitement.
He slapped the armrest beside him incessantly.
The 2 million Jiang Linyue bet last time, according to the odds of 50…
That was one hundred million!
In one day, two million turned directly into one hundred million?
This money simply came too fast.
"En, it’s a pity the upper limit of the odds for the top 4 this time is only 10 times."
Jiang Linyue wasn’t surprised by this result.
'With the existing funds in my hand, no matter how excessive the next magic crest mission is…'
'I should be able to use money to smash him until he agrees, right?'
As Ye Mo's fame gradually increased, his value would definitely rise with the tide.
At that time, the price of one hundred thousand a week might not satisfy him anymore.
"How about... I take advantage of his current low value to smash more money at him to touch him."
"Otherwise, next time, it might not be at this price anymore."
Thinking of this, Jiang Linyue opened the magic crest brand system.
——————————————————
[Demon God's Brand (Level 1)]
[Magic Energy Value: 416/500]
[Introduction: A brand left on you by an ancient Demon God. It cannot be removed; it cannot be erased!]
[Effect 1: Dungeon clearance experience bonus +30%, attributes increase by an extra 10% when leveling up.
Effect 2: All attributes increased by 20%.
Effect 3: When with the Destined One, skill cultivation effect increased by 200%; all other effects above are doubled.]
[Side Effect: Desire increases continuously every day. It can only be alleviated by making contact with the Destined One.]
——————————————————
"Just a little bit more to upgrade. How about I go find him tonight?"
Jiang Linyue looked at the system in front of her and fell into a short period of deep thought.
——————————————————
T/N - Well, Meng Li won, as expected. But she showed all four of her trump cards. She doesn’t have a divine artifact like Ye Xiaoxiao either, so I have doubts as to whether she can get into the top 3. But the top 4 should be doable, right?
Also, Jiang Linyue is really becoming the MC’s sugar mommy. She’s so close to leveling up the brand, too.
