As Qi Ling Qi Ling moved forward, the sounds of various battles constantly echoed from all around the town, reminding him that the competition was still ongoing.
As a building in the Devil Realm, this town was more sturdy than Qi Ling had imagined, but even so, it quickly became dilapidated under the attack of these exceptionally powerful people.
Moreover, as long as each person's battle is completed within one day, the location of everyone else is unknown, except for the location of their own opponent.
This has led many people to observe other people's matches after finishing their own, in order to understand their opponents' strength and learn combat techniques.
Although it's a bit of a shame that Zhen Hong, Kurumi, and Qian Jiyin didn't participate in this match, the other matches were still very interesting. At least, players like Cang Yue and Chu Ling are very valuable for reference.
However, at the same time, there is another problem: the strength of these two is obviously far superior to that of the others, so the matches often end very quickly, leaving no time for people to find their match locations.
During this time, something else happened that Qi Ling was very concerned about! Although Alice had specifically told everyone before the competition that they were not allowed to fight with any other contestants except their own opponents, otherwise they would lose their eligibility to compete.
However, these contestants not only had high self-esteem, but also harbored various grudges against each other. As the saying goes, enemies meeting are especially hostile, and with a few sarcastic remarks exchanged, no one could resist taking action.
Qi Ling happened to see that both contestants had finished their matches, and one of them, after losing, was being mocked and couldn't help but retaliate.
But at that moment, before anyone could react, the two of them were already lying on the ground, their bodies convulsing, not knowing what had happened.
Then, Xiluo's voice appeared beside the two of them, saying with a helpless expression, "Honestly, didn't I already tell you that you're not allowed to fight amongst yourselves? Why won't you listen!"
"I'll let you off this time since it's your first offense, but if I catch you again, I won't let you off so easily!"
Then, Xiluo's figure disappeared again, surprising everyone who witnessed it. Being able to subdue two contestants in an instant, without anyone seeing her clearly, already demonstrated Xiluo's strength. No wonder Alice said that whoever could defeat the referee would be allowed to pass the level directly.
In the end, Qi Ling couldn't find Xiao Ye, Luna, and the others, so she had no choice but to rest at an inn by the roadside. To Qi Ling's surprise, when she woke up the next day, the town, which had been ravaged the day before, had actually returned to normal!
The roadside decorations and the appearance of each house were exactly the same as yesterday, without any mistakes. This shows that these houses were not rebuilt, but were the original houses.
Although she didn't know how this was done, it wasn't surprising since it happened in the Devil Realm. Qi Ling just needed to continue focusing on her own match.
On that morning, Qi Ling learned about her opponent and their approximate location, which was to make it easier for everyone to find their opponent and thus ensure a smooth competition.
Qi Ling knew very little about his opponent, only that his name was Celeste, and nothing else, including what his opponent's abilities were.
"It's okay if I don't know. That's what makes it interesting—like opening a blind box," Qi Ling thought to herself. "I wonder what kind of abilities this opponent will have?"
Following the location guide, Qi Ling quickly arrived at a forest within a town. It seemed his opponent was here, and this was likely a favorable battleground for him. He had deliberately waited here to defeat Qi Ling.
"Huh? The battle is taking place in the forest? It seems his ability is most likely related to plants," Qi Ling mused. "After all, in terms of environmental complexity, the forest is indeed much more troublesome."
So Qi Ling walked deeper into the forest. He had tested the plants before entering and found that they were just ordinary trees that could be easily destroyed by his attacks.
Although this approach is somewhat environmentally unfriendly, Qi Ling genuinely intends to target these trees first if the battle becomes too complex, destroying the enemy's advantageous terrain to ensure his own victory.
"Coo coo coo, coo coo coo." A strange sound came from below, and then an owl landed on a tree, watching Qi Ling pass by.
Meanwhile, deep in the forest, a man covered one eye. In his field of vision, everything the owl had seen was unfolding before him, allowing him to keep a close watch on Qi Ling's situation.
"So that's how it is. This is the successor personally chosen by the Demon God, and also the most watched contestant in this competition?" The man said, looking at Qi Ling. "Indeed, she has extraordinary qualities, exuding an aura of dominance!"
"But unfortunately, in this forest, I am the true uncrowned king! Those who oppose me will only meet one end: a gruesome death!"
Then, with a wave of his hand, a swarm of rather large wasps was summoned from his hand, forming an array in the air as if they were obeying his commands.
"Go, my soldiers! Give him a taste of his own medicine!" Celeste said.
Qi Ling never expected that the enemy she was about to face would be a "summoner" who could summon various creatures to fight for her, and even win without her showing her face.
Such a person is naturally best suited for combat in the forest, as he can simply hide himself and control the animals from a distance.
When Qi Ling saw a swarm of wasps rushing towards him, even he felt a chill run down his spine. Although he didn't know if the wasps could break through his defenses, it was definitely not something worth trying.
So before the wasps could get close, Qi Ling shot them down one by one, and after they landed, they all disappeared without a trace.
Qi Ling, observing this scene, said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. My opponent's abilities are like this!"
