“Heh, it’s over!”

Looking at the arena that had turned into a monstrous sea of fire…

Chu Tianhe stood high in the sky, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.

Whoosh~

However, amidst the monstrous flames…

A small figure suddenly leaped out like a fired cannonball.

“She’s actually unharmed? Did she take a potion and then use the ethereal skill to dodge?”

Chu Tianhe was surprised, but his reaction was still very fast.

The flames of the spear in his hand became even more vigorous.

He bent his elbow slightly and fiercely threw the spear in his hand!

Whoosh!

The flaming spear tore through the air.

Like a dazzling meteor, it rushed and charged violently towards Meng Li!

However…

This swift strike directly passed through Meng Li’s ethereal body and plunged straight into the earth!

It didn’t cause her any damage at all.

“How could it be? Under the interference of my Heavenly Fire Domain…

Her ethereal skill shouldn’t last this long!”

Chu Tianhe’s pupils contracted abruptly.

But in the next second, Meng Li had already soared in front of him, her greatsword slashing down across the air!

“Block it for me!”

The necklace around Chu Tianhe’s neck flashed.

Raging fire instantly surrounded his whole body, turning into flame armor that blocked in front of him.

Bang!

The greatsword smashed heavily onto the armor!

The flame armor exploded with a bang.

The terrifying force directly shook Chu Tianhe’s whole body, sending him flying backward!

His body smashed straight into the ground, rubble splashing everywhere!

The earth caved in in an instant.

“Are you kidding me! The shield of an Epic-grade piece of accessory was shattered just like that?”

Chu Tianhe staggered to his feet, but he suddenly felt a tearing pain in his abdomen.

Looking down, he found a conspicuous scar had split open on his chest.

“No! The shield hadn’t just shattered; it didn’t defend me at all! This girl’s power is even more terrifying than before, and it even carries true damage and shield-breaking effects.”

He unscrewed a bottle of Holy Spirit Potion and swallowed it while calculating Meng Li’s changes.

Whoosh!

A greatsword descended from the sky!

Chu Tianhe, who had just recovered by taking the potion, immediately did a big backward jump to dodge.

With a ‘boom’, the greatsword smashed onto the ground, kicking up clouds of smoke and sand.

At the same time…

A petite figure, covered all over with purple-gold light, descended from the sky…

Directly delivering an axe kick and smashing fiercely towards the top of Chu Tianhe’s head!

Chu Tianhe crossed his arms, propping them above his head to block.

Bang!

The ground under his feet cracked and collapsed!

This kick from Meng Li seemed to have the might of a thousand catties.

It directly pressed half of Chu Tianhe’s body deep into the ground.

“Spear, come!”

With a thought from Chu Tianhe…

The spear that was stuck straight into the ground not far away quickly flew towards his side.

Bang!

Meng Li didn’t even turn her head, just throwing a punch with a flick of her arm.

She directly blasted the flying spear back.

“Are you kidding me!?”

Chu Tianhe looked shocked.

‘Was this girl injected with chicken blood?’

‘Why could her strength and speed soar so much!?’

But before he could react, the familiar sense of suffocation attacked him once more!

Meng Li took this opportunity to deliver a chokehold and throw.

Pulling Chu Tianhe’s legs out of the ground, she smashed him fiercely onto the ground!

Bang!

The earth cracked!

Chu Tianhe suffered heavy damage to his back, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Meng Li rode on him and delivered her signature small combo.

Her small fists, like machine guns, smashed down fiercely one after another.

Boom boom boom!

The entire arena trembled continuously.

The crowd in the audience seats was dumbfounded watching this.

They originally thought that after Chu Tianhe used his full strength, he could crush Meng Li one-sidedly.

As a result, it was Chu Tianhe who was beaten like a dog instead.

He didn’t even have a chance to counterattack.

Inside the VIP box.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s eyes almost popped out.

Big question marks hung over their heads one after another.

Some were confused, and even more were bewildered.

Previously, Chu Tianhe could still go back and forth with Meng Li and even had a slight advantage.

‘How come after using his ultimate, he’s being pressed to the ground and pushed around instead?’

“How could this be…? This shouldn’t be! It makes no sense at all!”

Looking at the scene on the large screen, Ji Baixi was completely dumbfounded.

Chu Tianhe, who had activated his third and fourth skills…

Logically speaking, he should have become an invincible existence at the same level.

He even had an Epic-grade piece of accessory for protection.

Even if he was no match for Meng Li, he shouldn’t be overwhelmingly crushed like he is now!

“That girl… One could actually cultivate a Demi-human like this!”

Thinking of Ye Mo, Ji Baixi suddenly felt a wave of depression in her chest.

With all the players under her eliminated, she was undoubtedly regretful now.

At the same time, a vicious thought surged into her mind.

‘I must trick that man into bed!’

‘After all, that’s my main battlefield.’

‘At that time, who cares what kind of genius or monster he is?’

‘As long as he falls into my trap, he won’t be able to withstand my squeezing.’

‘After subsequently submitting under my pomegranate skirt, he’ll just greedily try to please me.’

After all, the agency rights of this “Burning Heaven Martial Artist” are in her hands…

Were snatched from a veteran, old male Agent using this method.

As long as she could trick Ye Mo into her main battlefield, she had ways to make him unable to stop and submit to her obediently!

In the arena.

“Damn it! Damn it all, I’m unwilling! Why on earth?”

Chu Tianhe crossed his arms in front of his chest and gritted his teeth to resist Meng Li’s violent offensive.

His eyes were filled with bloodshot veins. While he was depressed in his heart…

His hand bones even let out a ‘crack’ sound of breaking.

He didn’t understand.

Previously, when he didn’t give it his all, he could still go back and forth with Meng Li.

But after using his full strength, he was one-sidedly crushed and beaten up by her instead!

‘Unwilling, I’m unwilling!’

Finally…

As time slowly passed…

Chu Tianhe had long become bruised and swollen, and all four of his limbs were broken.

Proud as he was, he didn’t surrender even like this.

But he still lost consciousness and completely passed out.

“Um… This contestant has already passed out. You can stop now.”

Looking at Chu Tianhe, who no longer looked human, the referee host couldn’t help but speak out to remind Meng Li.

“Is that so? But I see that his eyes are still open.”

Meng Li blinked her bright, large eyes.

While holding Chu Tianhe, who was like a dead dog, she had a face full of innocence.

“He… He’s rolling his eyes back.”

The corner of the host’s mouth twitched, and he managed to squeeze out an awkward but elegant smile.

Soon…

The referee directly announced Meng Li’s victory, meaning she had successfully advanced to the top four semifinals.

Inside the resting area.

Looking at the victorious Meng Li on the large screen, Ye Xiaoxiao frowned.

“I say, Old Mo, was this thieving cat injected with chicken blood? She was fine in the first half, but how come she suddenly became so strong in the second half?”

She looked at Ye Mo with a puzzled face.

She suspected that her brother had given the other party some secret weapon.

Meng Li, who entered the semifinals…

Was very likely to be matched with her in the upcoming battles.

She was trying to gather intelligence about the enemy from Ye Mo here.

She could lose to anyone, but she couldn’t lose to that thieving cat!

Otherwise, wouldn’t the other party be one level higher than her in the future?

Ye Xiaoxiao would absolutely not allow that kind of thing!

After all…

She was the number one in Ye Mo’s heart!

“What thieving cat? Can you stop looking for trouble with little Meng Li in the future?

Colleagues should get along harmoniously. In the future, the number of employees in our office will only increase.

If I’m not around, then you’ll be in charge, so you must learn to treat everyone equally!”

Ye Mo glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao and started his lecturing mode.

“Aiya! I know, I know, so stop nagging.”

Ye Xiaoxiao smacked her lips unhappily, expressing her dissatisfaction.

——————————————————

T/N – There you go! Face slap complete through plot armor! Well, at least Chu Tianhe ended up in a better state than Cheng Shi. The former only got beaten up, but the latter got nuked and almost died for real.

Also, Ji Baixi’s going for her final gambit. Any guesses on how it’ll turn out? I honestly just want her to succeed and get countered in bed by the MC, but the most likely outcome is her being interrupted by someone like Jiang Linyue.
