Chapter 350 Honor (3.5k)
“I don’t need Li Yi to deal with you, I’m enough.”
Hearing the sudden noise from the audience, Chen Jia’er looked at the former with a serious expression. The long spear in her hand cut through the air and pointed to the ground. A golden external qi erupted from the tip of her spear. The unique defensive energy shield of the holy attribute soon enveloped her body in a thin layer of gold.
“Bang!”
A white light flashed, and Su Jiu also used the Ice Dragon Transformation. With a gentle pat on the armrest of her wheelchair, a blue amplification formation immediately relocated to Chen Jia’er’s feet like a split.
“Come on!”
Feeling Su Jiu’s amplification, Chen Jia’er suddenly raised her long spear, which was wrapped in golden airflow, and pointed it directly at the tall player. The sharp aura burst out from the tip of the spear in an instant.
“Peerless… Battle General…”
The airflow lifted the tall man’s short dreadlocks, causing his originally solemn face to go blank. He gritted his teeth and tightly held the ice pick in his hand.
“I can only rely on skills to wear her down. The opponent’s cultivation level was forcefully raised by that Priest. As long as I wear her down, the captain will definitely be able to take her down.”
“The aura of a Peerless Battle General!?”
“There’s more than one Peerless Battle General in the Slacking Squad… Damn, this dual Peerless team is at least in the top-tier ranks!”
“No, if you look closely, that girl doesn’t have the level of a Peerless Battle General. It’s the amplification provided by the girl in the wheelchair that gives her this level.”
“Damn, wheelchair War God!”
This move caused many people on the field to stand up involuntarily, with various expressions on their faces. It was mainly because this was truly astonishing. Two people with the strength of a Peerless Battle General were willing to be subordinates to a Priest.
“As expected of Silver Bullets… truly a team that cannot be underestimated.”
On the judging seat, Yun Mo was also a little surprised. Just as he was about to say something, his phone in his left pocket vibrated. He looked at the hidden number, and his somewhat joyful mood sank again.
“It’s the command center’s phone, what’s going on?”
Under normal circumstances, this phone would not be dialed. This was a work-related call, and besides being a Night Watcher, his work had only one other aspect—
Diplomacy.
On the arena, the two auras that shrouded half the sky suddenly condensed. In an instant, everyone felt their vision blur. Two streaks of light flashed, and then the clashing of metal and sparks burst forth from the center of the field.
“Clang clang clang!!!”
Chen Jia’er’s face was like still water, but her long spear moved like a dragon. With extremely skillful thrusts, sweeps, and chops, she emitted a huge airflow. Each collision between the two sparked ice shards, and each time it ended with the tall man being repelled, showing the sharpness of her spear.
“She is not comparable to the students from those academies at all. Her combat skills are already on par with the Boss.”
The tall man looked at the spear light storm wall, where one spear was thrown before another arrived. He could only rely on the healing provided by the Priest to grit his teeth and stubbornly hold on.
“Boom!”
Figures flashed in the field, and various skills fiercely clashed. Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out. It was the spear light swept out by Chen Jia’er with her long spear, like a dragon’s tail flick, that smashed the tall young man and his ice pick flying.
“Amazing! This Spear Technique probably already has spear intent!”
“This flawless fighting style, her combat experience is no less than that of the young man from their team before.”
Looking at the tall young man heavily smashing against the light wall, the field first fell into a dead silence, followed by scattered applause, and then thunderous applause and various cheers.
Just as the crowd erupted in cheers, in a house far away in the Dragon Country, the strong and sturdy old man’s eyes widened. He never imagined that one of his illegitimate granddaughters would have strength comparable to Chen Qianyun.
“Haha, the younger generation is formidable, worthy of being from my Chen family!”
After sighing, he then turned to the butler behind him, who was equally stunned, and said with a smile, “She doesn’t seem to have taken any resources, as you said. She couldn’t have reached this point relying solely on effort.”
The butler fell silent. After looking at the display screen for a long time, he shook his head and slowly said, “Back to the master, Miss Jia’er only received some tuition fees. Madam is very strict, and we servants dare not give her more.”
“She reached this point without taking money from the family? Weren’t her combat skills trained by professional teachers?”
The old man was stunned. His eyes were fixed on Chen Jia’er on the display screen, who had defeated her opponent in just two or three moves. An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart.
Such an excellent descendant, if not by relying on family resources, then what else? Like their generation, going on missions for a little reward and risking their lives?
“Old Patriarch, this… I’m not very clear about this.” The butler lowered his body slightly, pondered for a moment, and then seemed to recall something, saying in a low voice, “However, I seem to have heard that she met Li Yi during a collaborative mission. Most likely, her resources are similar to those of commoner children…”
“Commoner children? I was also a commoner back then, and I started by doing missions… Could it be that she gained experience through missions?” The old man’s eyebrows slightly raised. After a moment of thought, he said in a deep voice,
“Tell that kid Chen Feng to control his woman, and also provide core resources for Jia’er and her boyfriend each.”
“This is their honor!”
The old man squinted his eyes at the LCD screen. He had already been somewhat critical of the family spending nearly a tenth of their savings to train Chen Qianyun. Now that there was a more promising descendant, he naturally had some other ideas.
“Yes!”
The butler naturally dared not say anything and repeatedly nodded. This vast Chen family was actually built entirely by the old man in front of him. As a War God level expert, he naturally had various decision-making powers.
The old man paused and his gaze fell on Su Jiu again. He squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and then said with a smile, “Prepare a一份 for their captain as well. I also quite fancy this little girl, haha, she has the guts to provoke the noble families…”
“Not bad! She has the demeanor of my younger self!”
On the twilight competition ground, Chen Jia’er had already defeated three opponents with her spear alone, leaving only the monkey-like young man. They were going to zero-out the opponent.
After her teammates were eliminated, the young man and the monkey-like youth slowly ascended the stage. The atmosphere on the field was ignited. This poison-type captain had also performed well in previous matches, and it was highly possible to avoid the embarrassment of being shut out.
“Referee, please wait a moment!”
As the referee asked if they were ready, he made a stopping gesture to the referee. Then, under everyone’s gaze, he walked towards Su Jiu, bowed shallowly, and then turned to the referee and smiled helplessly, “We surrender.”
In small countries, those who can reach the world competition are not fools… The person who can make two Peerless Battle Generals willing to be her teammates is likely the cloaked figure from last night. Instead of getting injured pointlessly, it is better to preserve strength to face the next enemy, and perhaps there is still a chance to advance to the top 24.
“Captain, this is…”
Seeing this, Chen Jia’er looked at Su Jiu inexplicably. She felt that the enemy’s surrender was inexplicably related to her captain.
Looking at the monkey-carrying youth who had already left the arena, Su Jiu smiled indifferently and said softly, “Perhaps he wanted to preserve his strength? But it’s all good that he’s not fighting us.”
When the opponent bowed to her, she had already guessed that the opponent had discovered her identity. But as long as he didn’t say it, Su Jiu was willing to continue playing dumb.
After the referee announced the result, the two returned to the competition seats amidst countless cheers. Su Jiu asked everyone to withdraw, as she needed to deal with the Holy Light on her body first and did not participate in the subsequent spectating.
Time passed by as she cultivated. Soon, Vivian returned with the main group, a smile in her eyes. She said to Su Jiu, who was in a wheelchair, “Our team has a bye next, so we directly get four points, saving us the trouble of going through those tedious matches.”
“That’s great, otherwise it would be like I’m pushing a wheelchair around like an idiot all the time.”
Su Jiu slowly opened her eyes, exhaled, and responded softly. She could feel that she had condensed about five or six strands of holy attribute light, and the stinging pain at the wound had decreased.
“However, today, several of your Dragon Country teams have suffered unexpected defeats. Except for Shenhai University, none of them scored full marks.” Vivian said, looking at the computer in the distance, and walked over, turning it on and opening the game as if it were natural.
“It’s normal, the opponents they were matched against were quite strong. That kid Hu Yang even matched against a Battle King level expert.” Su Jiu slowly closed her eyes again and began to expel the poison. She estimated she was still about eighty-five percent away, and with some effort tonight, she should be able to expel seventy percent.
Without a word all night, Su Jiu repeatedly cultivated by absorbing the Holy Light. During this time, she asked Bai Zhi for her address and had Chen Jia’er mail the dark gold interwoven egg. She remembered that the other party was also close to Battle King level, and would probably contract it.
As for why she didn’t let Vivian mail it—she, Su Jiu, was not a stupid loli!
Not stupid~
After another day of cultivating and absorbing Holy Light, by nighttime, Su Jiu’s Holy Light erosion was only about fifty-five percent remaining. She finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was really inconvenient to be in a wheelchair.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Vivian walked over with her phone and handed it to her, saying strangely, “Two pieces of good news: one is that we have successfully advanced, and the other is that due to outbreaks of monsters in the outer city, the competition has been postponed for half a month.”
“Postponed for half a month?”
Upon hearing this news, Su Jiu’s expression slightly froze. This was too much of a delay! It was likely that the situation of the monster siege was quite severe, requiring the competition officials to assist.
However, with enough time to remove the Holy Light erosion, she was happy to do so. She then closed her eyes and began to cultivate again. But, it seemed that leisure time always passed very quickly.
“Beep beep!”
The next day, the beeping of the phone caused the bed board to vibrate. A ray of morning light hit Su Jiu’s face. She dazedly reached for the phone and slowly opened her eyes after touching something soft. She found that Vivian was rarely asleep…
“I’m not a pillow… Hey! Hmm… Your touch isn’t bad either.”
After painstakingly pushing away Vivian, who was hugging her like an octopus, Su Jiu suddenly glanced at the small face in the aftermath, pinched her pure yet slightly alluring face, and was about to reach for the phone when her old waist suddenly felt a sharp pain, and she quickly covered it, crying out.
“Damn, I forgot I still need thirty percent to completely refine it.”
She used her external qi to bring the phone to her side, only to find five or six missed calls. Without thinking further, seeing that the IP address on it was from Fog City, she immediately called back: “Hello?”
“Miss Frost Blade, after discussion, we have issued a mission that can obtain international honor, but it is a bit dangerous…” It was someone from the Red Cross Society before, their voice was hoarse, and they seemed not to have slept well.
