Chapter 128 - 128 Test
“Huff… huff…”
On the combat stage of the Cold Snow Training Ground, Du Weiwei’s breaths were slightly rapid.
The dim and lightless Star Spirit Protection shield displayed her immense exhaustion during this battle.
With a Combined Battle Skill at her disposal, along with a numerical advantage of two against one, she should have dealt with her current opponent swiftly.
However, this young man called Zhou Qi turned out to be stronger than she had anticipated.
Not only did his Two-star Food Spirit also possess Combined Battle Skills, but it also held an advantage in Flavor Value.
Meanwhile, her side’s additional Little Jadeite was a newly-born One-star Food Spirit, providing limited assistance under such circumstances.
This was a tough fight, but fortunately, she had glimpsed the light of victory.
“Two…One…”
“Beep
Liu Shuang’s five-second countdown ended. Zhou Qi’s Food Spirit on the field that had landed didn’t move, having lost its combat power.
This signaled that the final victory of this battle belonged to Du Weiwei.
“Well done, you’ve passed the test.” Liu Shuang nodded subtly, “As for the Spirit Executor’s Badge, we’ll present it when all your companions have completed their tests!”
“No problem.” Du Weiwei nodded, recalling her two equally exhausted Food Spirits into her Star Vein, and walking over to Qin Lang, “Be careful.”
After giving a reminder, she sat on a chair nearby to meditate and recover her consumed Spiritual Power.
“I will.” Qin Lang nodded earnestly.
Having watched the previous battle, he also realized the formidable strength of Zhou Qi.
Was it just Du Weiwei’s bad luck that she picked a stronger Food Spirit?
No, Qin Lang leaned towards the possibility that Zhou Qi’s two Food Spirits were similarly strong.
Or, to predict the worst, the Food Spirit that Zhou Qi had yet to summon might possess even greater power.
Anyway…
“We need to give it our all.” With a serious tone, Qin Lang looked at the determined Dan Bao and Spicy.
“Click!”
Let me take a bite at it!
Spicy, with a solemn face, exposed her little tiger teeth, seemingly ready to rush forth and take a bite at the opponent.
A single bite would bring down the opponent!
“Gurgle!”
1 will also go all out!
Knowing that time was of the essence, and this might be the only chance for Qin Lang to obtain the Spirit Executor’s Badge and participate in the Youth Training Competition in Bai Lu Mountain City three days later, Dan Bao also became serious.
This fight would allow no room for failure!
As Qin Lang ascended the battle platform and stood where Du Weiwei had been, Zhou Qi on the other side had already recalled the Food Spirit that had lost its combat power into his Star Vein, and proceeded to summon another Two-star Food Spirit.
His expression was fairly calm, undisturbed by the loss in the previous fight.
“Be careful.” Zhou Qi spoke in a low voice as a brightly shining Seven Star Map appeared behind him.
On Star Spirit Protection, it starts.
“1 could say the same.” Qin Lang replied calmly, with the Seven Star Map showcasing two stars appearing behind him and reflecting in his eyes.
The same Seven Star Map appeared in the pupils of Dan Bao and Spicy.
At this moment, under the effects of the Star Spirit Protection, their minds were completely connected.
“Countdown to five, battle begins!” Liu Shuang glanced at both sides before commencing the countdown.
“Five…four…three…two…one…”
“Beep
With the clear whistle suppressing all other sounds on the Training Ground, the duel between Qin Lang and Zhou Qi officially commenced.
Right at the beginning, Zhou Qi’s Food Spirit made the first move.
It was a pitch-black Food Spirit that resembled a fog cloud without a specific shape, except for a pair of large red eyes. Despite its elusive nature, it moved rather speedily.
The moment it approached Dan Bao and Spicy, Dan Bao, who was responsible for ranged attacks in the team, also made a move.
“Gurgle!”
With a low growl, it swiftly moved to meet the Black Fog Food Spirit.
When they were roughly twenty meters apart, Dan Bao suddenly took a deep breath, and flames began to rise from the crevices between his head and body.
Just as it was about to get closer and spew out the flames, the Black Fog Food Spirit abruptly stopped and stared at Dan Bao with wide eyes.
Its eyes seemed even redder at this moment, and simultaneously a pair of illusory red eyes appeared behind it, looking at Dan Bao in unison.
Qin Lang’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Sharing the vision with Dan Bao, when the other side looked, he felt a sudden, inexplicable fear in his heart.
What is this?
In just an instant, Qin Lang knew the answer.
Mind-Type War Skills, Fear Intimidation!
Although he had realized this, Dan Bao, who was taking the hit face-on, was not able to recover immediately.
The accumulated flames that were supposed to be released faded slowly within Dan Bao’s body.
“Cackles!”
The Black Fog Food Spirit had a triumphant look in its eyes, and at almost the same time the Fear Intimidation came into effect, it made a new move.
A blob of black fog separated from its body, and like a solid claw, it stirred up a gust of wind and violently clawed at Dan Bao, who was still standing in place. Fighting-Based Combat Skills, Ferocious Claw Strike!
“Be careful!”
A cry echoed in the arena.
But that cry was not made by Qin Lang, but by Zhou Qi.
The Black Fog Food Spirit paused slightly before feeling a gust of wind on its side the next moment!
It was the One-Star Food Spirit that it previously ignored!
Seeing the One-Star Food Spirit directly pounce on itself, the Black Fog Food Spirit subconsciously wanted to dodge back.
However, the next moment, human-like shock appeared in its pair of red big eyes.
It…couldn’t move?!
“Crack— ”
The sound of shattering rang out at this moment.
It was the sound of the Ferocious Claw Strike shattering upon collision with an invisible barrier.
Along with this sound, a mysterious smile surfaced on Dan Bao’s face.
“Rustle-”
The faint sound of footsteps in the quiet Melt Cavern was extraordinarily clear. In the dark Melt Cavern, two beams of light constantly scanned all around. Controlling these two beams of light were Zhao Chen and Qi Xiaoyu.
The two had been walking in this place called the Cold Ice Melt Cavern for a while.
“All!!!”
At one moment, Qi Xiaoyu suddenly screamed and jumped up from her spot. “All!”
This sudden change startled Zhao Chen. He let out a soft cry, then pointed the flashlight at Qi Xiaoyu, rolling his eyes in frustration, “What are you jumping around for?”
“I…” Qi Xiaoyu couldn’t help reaching out and grabbing a corner of Zhao Chen’s clothes. “1 just saw a black shadow flash by in the flashlight’s beam…”
“You’re seeing things.” Zhao Chen felt a little creeped out, but still said
confidently, “You definitely saw things.”
“…What about now?” Qi Xiaoyu’s voice suddenly dropped, and she gripped Zhao Chen’s clothes even tighter.
Zhao Chen didn’t say anything.
Because he had also heard the faint sound that had suddenly appeared inside the Melt Cavern.
That sound was definitely not their footsteps or breathing.
“What are you dawdling for? Run!”
