Chapter 189: Chapter 131: Team Formation Card!_3

“Now?”

…

Ten minutes later, at the Martial Arts Hall, Tang Ruobing and Xing Ran stood on opposite sides of the training room, while Feng Xinglie rushed to the frontline as a spectator, standing beside Ye Mingqiu with a smile and asked, “Unexpected, isn’t it? She actually chose to fight publicly, seems very confident in her own strength… Do you think she can beat Tang Xiaohu?”

Tang Xiaohu, who is Tang Ruobing’s brother, is also Xing Ran’s real name.

“Yes.”

Ye Mingqiu responded without hesitation.

“You really believe in her, don’t you? Tang Xiaohu is a Level 10 Heroic Warrior, his profession is Gale Sword Saint; whether it’s speed or attack power, he’s impeccable. To us mages, he’s practically the toughest opponent. I’d definitely have a headache dealing with him,” Feng Xinglie sighed.

“It’s starting,” Ye Mingqiu said.

“Hmm.”

Feng Xinglie nodded, took a sip of his drink, and looked down at the battle, then instantly furrowed his brows, muttering to himself, “She released her domain right at the start. What is she doing? Doesn’t she know maintaining a domain consumes a considerable amount of spiritual energy?”

“Damn! Triple Casting, what’s the situation? How did she manage that?”

“Damn! Why is her casting speed so fast? Something feels off! Is it high-speed cutoff spellcasting? How much spiritual energy does it take to cut off so much and still release spells continuously?”

“Damn! What kind of insane control is this, how does every Ice Spear seem to have a mind of its own? The accuracy is too high, normal people wouldn’t stand a chance!”

“Damn… Damn…”

….

Just ten seconds into the fight, Feng Xinglie had already been reduced to just shouting “Damn” repeatedly; there’s no way, Tang Ruobing’s combat performance was much stronger than he’d imagined. If he were to face the current Tang Ruobing, he felt he’d have less than a ten percent chance of winning.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Ruobing probably wouldn’t fight so fiercely, but the issue was that she was in a bad mood, so she hit a bit harder and increased her spell intensity.

As Gale Sword Saint, Xing Ran was being chased around the arena by the spells, and the route he ran became narrower as more ice covered the field; with one careless slip on the ice, he might get caught off guard by sudden ice spikes emerging from the ground.

“Well, brother, are you satisfied with my power-up?” Tang Ruobing asked full of resentment while waving her magic staff.

As a top-level mage, her spell control was precise enough to corner Xing Ran into a barely survivable state. Just a tiny increase in attack intensity on her part, and Xing Ran could be instantly defeated.

Satisfied indeed!

I’m just too satisfied!

Xing Ran’s expression was already twitching and contorted, suffering to the extreme. As a Level 10 Gale Sword Saint, now being chased by a Level 8 Mage, the situation was already making him feel explosive.

And what was even more terrifying was that Xing Ran could sense Tang Ruobing was holding back and not using her full strength. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even last ten seconds.

Is this the power of a Legendary Level? Has the Ancient God’s Aura made her so much stronger? Or is the cultivation by the Divine Monarch that potent?

Too frightening!

…

In the audience, Ye Mingqiu watched Xing Ran being chased all over by Tang Ruobing, gaining a clear understanding of a Level 10 Heroic Spiritualist’s strength.

Though Xing Ran seemed to be getting thrashed, in reality, this guy wasn’t weak at all. Just his normal movement speed alone was comparable to 200+ agility, likely having many stacked speed-boost passives, and his attack power was also high, with casual swipes of sword qi capable of shattering Ice Spears.

However, his biggest problem was his inability to see through the form like Ye Mingqiu.

Ye Mingqiu could easily perceive each attack’s route changes in real-time, whereas Xing Ran could only sense them vaguely, so even with greater speed and stronger attacks than Ye Mingqiu, he was still being beaten more severely by Tang Ruobing.

Additionally, it was evident that Xing Ran still had many formidable skills unused, as well as his trump cards… but he couldn’t bring himself to use them!

Under Tang Ruobing’s overwhelming offensive, Xing Ran had no chance to unleash his ultimate moves and could only flee amid the torrential attacks.

Seeing the situation, Ye Mingqiu couldn’t help but lament that active skill-type trump cards are too fragile; if the enemy stops you from using them, they may as well not exist. It’s better to stack passives and be at full throttle all the time.

This farcical battle soon ended, with Xing Ran lying on the central ground of the Martial Arts Hall, staring blankly at the ceiling and unable to speak for a long time.

“Hey, get up.”

Tang Ruobing reached out, looking disdainfully at her brother, whispering, “How long do you plan to lie here? Aren’t you ashamed?”

“Oh… thanks.”

Xing Ran grabbed her hand and stood up.

“When you get back home, say some nice words for me, understood?”

“Yes~ yes~”

Then, Tang Ruobing briskly walked to Ye Mingqiu’s side under Xing Ran’s gaze, left a word “I’m returning to the training room to study,” and promptly departed.

….

Two weeks later

Ye Mingqiu, in his renovated exclusive training room, drank the third bottle of potion, markedly increasing his basic attributes, and now he had reached Level Two Extreme. He was waiting for the next entry into the Spirit Realm to advance to Level 3 and transform again.

Current attributes

Power: 107 (40)

Agility: 83.1 (31)

Constitution: 102.8 (48)

Spirit: 59.4 (28)

The higher the four-dimensional basic attributes, the harder subsequent improvements become. When Ye Mingqiu used strength-enhancing treasures for the second time, he couldn’t achieve the same increase as the first time.
