Chapter 87

"You'd better not cause any accidents." Xu Jintang glanced at him silently.

While the two were chatting, two waves of critical hits erupted in succession on the arena.

Jiang Shiyi's rocket launcher is equipped with critical hit and explosion runes. Each attack on an enemy will trigger an explosion effect with a huge damage range.

Jiang Yingying's Mirror Blade focuses on cutting, sharpness, and speed; every attack is aimed at Jiang Shiyi himself.

"Little sister, for your age, having this kind of strength already makes you a peerless genius among your peers. But I am two years older than you, so if you want to beat me, you'd better not hold back."

Jiang Yingying effortlessly intercepted the incoming shells and said with a smile.

Jiang Shiyi's mental energy had been more than half depleted.

Her breathing became erratic, and after stopping what she was doing, she stood still and slowly adjusted her breathing.

She could sense that Jiang Yingying was deliberately holding back, probably trying to force her to use her superpower.

Jiang Shiyi pursed her lips, looked up, and replied, "Okay."

These words immediately caused Jiang Yingying's expression to change for a moment.

Many audience members at the scene also showed excited expressions, holding their breath in anticipation of Jiang Shiyi using his superpowers.

Only Xu Jintang, sitting in the audience, stroked his chin, a sly glint in his eyes.

Two seconds later, Jiang Shiyi gathered all her mental energy, and the powerful energy fluctuations distorted the air around her.

However, she still did not use her supernatural power. She poured all of this powerful mental energy into the magical rocket launcher, and a strong red light flashed on the rocket launcher.

A destructive force shot out from it, attacking Jiang Yingying.

A massive energy shockwave was formed.

Jiang Yingying bit her lower lip tightly, frantically mobilizing her mental energy to resist.

A gust of wind ruffled the hem of her dress.

A few seconds later, the battle ended. Exhausted of his mental energy, Jiang Shiyi jumped off the stage, ending the match.

Jiang Yingying's clothes were slightly disheveled by the wind on the stage.

Although she withstood Jiang Shiyi's full-force attack, most of her mental energy was also depleted.

Li Xiang raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to announce, "In this 1v1 duel, the Women's Golden Age Team has won."

Jiang Shiyi put away the rocket launcher, walked towards Xu Jintang, and said quietly, "Her mental energy is almost gone. You should be able to handle her."

Xu Jintang smiled and patted her shoulder. "Thank you."

She knew perfectly well that Jiang Shiyi had just unleashed her full power to help her wear down Jiang Yingying. That way, it would be easier for her to deal with Jiang Yingying when she went on stage.

[I've finally waited for Captain Foodie to appear!! Ahhhhhh, I can't wait!]

[By the way, do you guys know why the leader of the Mask Squad is called that? It doesn't sound very cool.]

[Maybe... it's because their captain likes to eat dry food?]

[Man is made of iron, food is made of steel. Eating is indeed very important.]

Xu Jintang stretched his wrists and slowly walked onto the ring.

Jiang Yingying, sitting cross-legged on the arena next door, was seizing the time to recover her mental strength and had no time to pay attention to Xu Jintang.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Xu Jintang turned around and greeted everyone in the stands, "Hello everyone, I am the captain of the Mask Squad, codenamed ' Foodie.' Thank you for your support and liking."

It's rare to see such an approachable competitor; he even greeted the audience during the match.

In the stands closest to her, the audience immediately rose to their feet and cheered excitedly.

The deafening cheers filled the entire stadium.

"Foodie! Foodie!"

Feeling the enthusiasm of the audience, Xu Jintang raised his hand and continued waving to the other side of the stands.

Because it's unusual for contestants to greet the audience like this, Xu Jintang's sudden greeting immediately caused the venue to erupt in cheers.

Li Xiang listened to the endless cheers, his eardrums tingling from the vibrations.

The halftime break ended quickly, and he hurriedly raised the microphone, clearing his throat. "The sixth 1v1 duel is about to begin."

Jiang Yingying had already stood up on the stage.

Her expression was indifferent, and her gaze cautiously scrutinized Xu Jintang.

Compared to the ruthless Fourth Tier Ruthless Killer, she was actually more wary of this captain.

To be able to serve as the captain of such a team, one's abilities are definitely more than what they appear to be.

"Nice to meet you." Xu Jintang greeted the person opposite him with a fist and palm salute.

Jiang Yingying smiled slightly, "Let's not waste any more time and get started."

As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed towards Xu Jintang with lightning speed.

Xu Jintang's smile vanished, and he immediately activated his spiritual power.

Under the influence of Power of Dragon Blood and various rare and precious materials, her physical strength has become so powerful that it can only be described as terrifying.

The two exchanged only one move before Jiang Yingying was quickly sent flying backward.

An expression of disbelief rose on her face.

This power...

Could this Foodie's special ability be melee-type?

Just as she was about to fly off the stage, Jiang Yingying extended Mirror Blade chain from her palm, hooked it onto the edge of the stage, and pulled herself back onto the stage.

She raised her eyes solemnly, slowly opened her hands, and countless fragments of Mirror Blade rose slowly from both sides of her body.

Xu Jintang flexed his wrists, smiled, and then lunged forward.

As she rushed to the other side, she pushed off the ground and leaped into the air, clenching her fist and striking Jiang Yingying below.

A terrifying power of radiation descended.

Jiang Yingying gritted her teeth, her eyes calmly manipulating the Mirror Blade to form a circular shield, forcefully blocking the attack.

"Clang--"

The fist slammed into the hard Mirror Blade, producing a loud thud.

Then, a crack appeared on the round Mirror Blade and slowly spread outwards.

Jiang Yingying was once again shocked by Xu Jintang's power.

[Wow, no wonder he's the captain, his strength is terrifying.]

[Now I know why she's called Foodie"! She must be strong, so she eats a lot.]

[His physical strength is definitely at least at the Fourth Tier. This Foodie is probably capable of enhancing his physical body through melee combat abilities.]

In the blink of an eye, Xu Jintang and Jiang Yingying had exchanged more than a dozen moves.

Judging from the situation, Jiang Yingying was actually at a disadvantage. She spent most of her time parrying and defending, and was constantly being led around by Xu Jintang, who was on the offensive.

After being repelled once again, Jiang Yingying took a deep breath, deciding not to waste any more time.

"Domain of Mirror Blades!"

As soon as the voice fell, a halo appeared around Jiang Yingying, and the entire area centered on her instantly transformed into a mirror world.

Xu Jintang was also pulled into the domain, surrounded by mirrors reflecting her image.

"Admit defeat. Few can break my Domain of Mirror Blades at the same level, let alone you who are only at the Peak Third Tier." Jiang Yingying's voice came from all directions, making it impossible to locate her.

Xu Jintang looked around, her reflection appearing in every mirror.

Jiang Yingying had already disappeared, clearly hiding somewhere in this Domain of Mirror Blades.

[Holy crap! It's a domain-type superpower!]

[Domain-type abilities are indeed powerful; once activated, they directly control an entire domain.]

No wonder Jiang Yingying seemed so calm; she had a trump card up her sleeve.

Below the arena, Song Tianqi crossed his arms and muttered to himself, "Is this the same domain-type ability as the class monitor?"

Jiang Shiyi quietly replied, "Not really. Xu Jintang's Domain of Ice is a pure domain-type ability. Jiang Yingying's Mirror Blade is a domain-type skill that was developed later; there's a big difference between the two."

Song Tianqi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

The arena was now completely surrounded by mirrors.

Xu Jintang flexed his wrists while looking around at the mirrors, but couldn't find a breakthrough after searching for a long time.

Jiang Yingying's voice came again from all directions. "Still not admitting defeat?"

Xu Jintang smiled, "The word 'admit defeat' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly activated her mental power, and the power of her domain instantly covered the entire area.

Two seconds later, the layers of Mirror Blade that had been covering the arena were suddenly shattered from the inside, cracks spreading rapidly to the other mirrors before collapsing.

Wearing a ghost mask, Xu Jintang clenched his fists and shot out of the Domain of Mirror Blades like a cannonball.

Chapter 87

Countless mirrors collapsed and shattered, making a crisp sound.

After the Domain of Mirror Blades was broken through, Jiang Yingying, who was hiding within it, instantly revealed her true form.

Her face was filled with disbelief as she stared intently at Xu Jintang. "How could you possibly break through the Domain of Mirror Blades with just your physical strength?"

Xu Jintang shook his hand, which had gone numb from the shock. "Maybe it's because I'm strong."

As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her fist again, unleashed a burst of power from her feet, and charged towards Jiang Yingying once more.

Jiang Yingying's expression changed instantly. She raised her hands, summoning Mirror Blade shield, and gripped it tightly in front of her.

Xu Jintang's fist struck the round shield.

The terrifying force of the impact forced Jiang Yingying back several steps, all the way to the edge of the arena.

The audience in the stands held their breath, their eyes fixed intently on Xu Jintang and his companion.

Sensing that the two sides had reached a stalemate, Xu Jintang took the initiative to retreat, raised his right arm, activated the Ruby Hidden Arrow, and fired several hidden arrows with explosive runes toward Jiang Yingying.

Jiang Yingying's expression changed, and she quickly withdrew her strength and rolled to the side.

Even faster than her, Xu Jintang leaped into the air, raised his leg, and accurately kicked the Mirror Blade round shield in her hand.

Jiang Yingying, who did not have time to gather her strength to resist, could not withstand the force and her body was lifted into the air, flying out of the arena in a parabolic arc.

The outcome is decided.

Xu Jintang pulled his leg back, stood firmly on the ring, put his hands in his jacket pockets, and surveyed the entire arena.

At the same time, Li Xiang announced, "The Mask Squad wins this 1v1 duel."

The stands around the perimeter echoed with the unified cheers of the spectators.
