"I've lost." The Fire Mantis King's soul rippled. The six petals floated away and formed again, revealing Hong Yan's true appearance.
Lifting something heavy as though it were light and floating like an immortal — these two phrases were the most appropriate to describe Hong Yan's victory. If Ah Jin's battle was the most violent, then her battle was the most gentle.
Neither side suffered any injuries. This was the first time this had happened since the start of the qualifier. The Fire Mantis King raised its Asura Dual Blades and nodded at Hong Yan with its triangular head. Then, it leapt out and exited the competition.
Hong Yan's gaze looked towards the experts waiting for their battles. Her gaze naturally landed on Ji Dong. Her gaze seemed to contain a hint of provocation. Of course, this was what the other experts thought. Ji Dong had a completely different feeling. He could feel the curiosity in Hong Yan's gaze, as well as a hint of concern. Is she curious about my abilities? You'll see very soon.
There were 52 experts participating in the qualifier. There were a total of 26 groups in the first round. When Ji Dong entered the arena, he was already in the second group. Without a doubt, this was extremely good for Ji Dong. It was extremely beneficial for him to be able to observe the battle styles of these top experts from the core world for a period of time. Only by understanding his opponents would he be able to defeat them better.
When he heard the Fire Spirit King announce the second group to enter the arena, Ji Dong walked out calmly.
He did not fly out or flash out like the other Earth's Core experts. Instead, he walked out slowly. When he took his first step, his opponent had already arrived at the arena.
Compared to his opponent, Ji Dong's luck could be said to be neither good nor bad. His opponent was a fellow that was only one meter tall and had the appearance of a mole. This strange creature had a pair of large feet, each of which was more than a foot long, just like the flippers of a duck. Its body was covered with an extremely smooth layer of fiery red fur, and a pair of small eyes darted around. On each of its two short front claws, there were four five-inch-long spikes. These should be its weapons.
It could be said that this was the smallest Class 10 Magical Beast that Ji Dong had ever seen. However, this did not affect its danger at all. The short, fiery red fur on its body stood up slightly, and its originally short body curled up slightly. Even its sharp claws were slightly retracted in front of its chest, as if it was ready to attack.
The Fireelectric Rat King, ranked fourteenth among the core elders. The Fireelectric Rats were a rather low-profile existence among the underground creatures, so Ji Dong did not have much information on them. However, he could already tell a few things from the Fireelectric Rat King's body.
Ji Dong was the complete opposite of the Fireelectric Rat King that had quickly arrived on the battlefield. He walked forward step by step, and with each step, his presence would rise slightly. His presence would also clearly become more powerful. He wore the Godfire Saint King's Armor, and the vicious mask made it impossible to see his expression. His exclusive golden-red light was released without any restraint. His mana was clearly much weaker than the Fireelectric Rat King, but he had the absolute advantage in terms of presence. The Fireelectric Rat King was like a tiny reef in the ocean, trembling under Ji Dong's storm-like pressure.
Of course, Ji Dong did not think that the Fireelectric Rat King would be easy to deal with. In reality, how could anyone who could participate in the selection be easy to deal with?
Everyone could feel the constantly rising pressure from Ji Dong's body. Due to the existence of his exclusive light, no one could tell what level his mana had reached. The blinding golden-red light had already completely enveloped Ji Dong's body. It was already impossible to see his human form. An unknown opponent was the most terrifying. This was what Ji Dong wanted to give the Fireelectric Rat King.
With the concealment of the exclusive light, even the three Saint Tier experts in the sky were unable to see just how strong Ji Dong was. The vigilance in the Fireelectric Rat King's beady eyes had already begun to grow stronger and stronger.
"Looks like I'm lucky to have drawn you." At this moment, Ji Dong's soul undulations suddenly spread out from the exclusive light. There had already been nineteen matches in the selection, and there was almost no precedent of the two sides communicating. However, he did not seem to be in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he sent a soul message to the Fireelectric Rat King, and did not conceal it at all. Everyone could feel the content of his soul undulations.
A look of confusion flashed through the Fireelectric Rat King's eyes, but it did not respond. Right now, Ji Dong was giving it a lot of pressure, and it was afraid that if it was distracted, it would fall into Ji Dong's trap.
"Believe it or not, my ability just happens to be your nemesis." Ji Dong's soul undulations had already spread out once again. At this moment, he was less than a hundred meters away from the Fireelectric Rat King.
Actually, when Ji Dong walked out, the Fireelectric Rat King was already very depressed. The reason was very simple. Based on its previous observations, Ah Jin and Fury were obviously not fire-type magicians, and would be greatly restricted in the core world. When the Fireelectric Rat King saw that its opponent was Ji Dong, its first thought was to use delaying tactics. With its innate ability, it was extremely confident that even if it could not defeat him, it would definitely be able to delay him. With such a short stature, anyone could tell what it was good at. Without a doubt, it was speed. The fire mantis king was already very fast, but compared to the Fireelectric Rat King, it paled in comparison. The Fireelectric Rat King was completely confident that in terms of speed, apart from the three supreme elders, no other creature in the core world could surpass it. It was even more confident that even if Ji Dong could see that it was good at speed, there was nothing he could do.
However, when it saw Ji Dong's body radiate with a unique brilliance, it knew that it was wrong. This outsider in front of it was clearly a fire-type magician. In this core world, whatever it could obtain from the fire element, this person could also obtain. This discovery caused the Fireelectric Rat King's original confidence to waver. Right now, it only wanted to use its innate ability to fight it out with Ji Dong. At this moment, Ji Dong's soul message was transmitted.
Of course, the Fireelectric Rat King didn't believe Ji Dong's words. However, there was no doubt that Ji Dong's soul message, which was filled with self-servitude, had left a faint shadow in its heart.
Not to mention creatures from the core, even humans on the surface world didn't know how to use psychological tactics.
"Squeak …" The Fireelectric Rat King suddenly squeaked, its short body leaping into the air. It didn't even leave an afterimage as its body was already a hundred meters in the air. Its speed could only be described as teleportation.
While in the air, its body had already started free-falling. Its two sharp claws slashed out at the same time, and eight golden-red rays of light pierced through the air towards Ji Dong. The Fireelectric Rat King had already used its full strength from the get-go. Although the power of these eight rays of light couldn't compare to the Fire Mantis King's Asura Blades, the sharpness of the attacks showed that it was an agility-type magical beast just like the Fire Mantis King. However, the Fire Mantis King was more proficient in attack, while the Fireelectric Rat King was more proficient in speed.
The unique brilliance on Ji Dong's body suddenly disappeared, revealing his original body. With a shake of his body, three figures appeared. Silver light flickered in and out of his eyes, and a faint layer of silver flashed across his body. The three figures had already flashed away like fish, causing the Fireelectric Rat King's attack to hit nothing but air.
Ji Dong was becoming more and more proficient in using the Fantasy Silver Magical Realm. It wasn't just limited to attacking the enemy, it was also extremely effective when used on oneself. Its greatest advantage was that it could block the opponent's lock-on. Without a lock-on, even the strongest attack might not be able to land on the opponent, so what was the point?
Seeing the faint layer of silver light on Ji Dong's body, the Fire Spirit King's eyes wavered slightly, but it quickly returned to normal. At this moment, Ji Dong's three figures had already merged into one, and he soared into the sky like an arrow towards the Fireelectric Rat King.
The Fireelectric Rat King's small eyes darted around. It was surprised and a little disdainful. The surprise was naturally because Ji Dong had broken free from its lock-on, but the disdain was naturally directed towards the figure that had caught up to Ji Dong.
In the sky, the Fireelectric Rat King's falling body suddenly stopped. Its webbed feet tapped lightly in the air, and a low rumble sounded in the air. In the next moment, the Fireelectric Rat King's body actually shot out horizontally, piercing through the air in an oblique manner.
"F * ck!" Even Ji Dong couldn't help but curse when he saw the Fireelectric Rat King flying diagonally. He had seen strong opponents, but he had never seen one as strong as this. This fellow wasn't simply borrowing force in the air, but using its huge feet to walk in the air as if it was walking on flat ground. It definitely couldn't fly for a long period of time, but in terms of agility and speed in the air, not to mention a pair of wings, even six pairs of wings wouldn't be able to match this fellow.
Ji Dong's judgement of the Fireelectric Rat King's abilities had been spot on. This short fellow specialized in speed, but he had never imagined that the Fireelectric Rat King's specialty in speed would be so tyrannical. Borrowing force in the air to accelerate in an instant was practically no different from moving on the ground. Furthermore, this acceleration was completely like teleportation. Such a strange ability could only be described as breathtaking.
At the same time that its body flew horizontally, the Fireelectric Rat King's sharp claws waved again, and another eight intersecting rays of light shot towards Ji Dong. It thought to itself, "Now that you're in the air, let's see how you dodge." It knew that it couldn't lock onto Ji Dong, so it didn't bother locking onto him. Instead, it followed the trajectory of Ji Dong's body and launched its attacks. Without a doubt, although it couldn't fly, its ability to jump in the air was enough to make it a true aerial killer.
Unfortunately, the Fireelectric Rat King didn't expect that it wasn't the only one in the world that could change directions in the air. Ji Dong's previous flight had always been using his soul power to control the air to propel his body forward. He still had a pair of real wings that he hadn't used yet.
His wings suddenly spread open, and a golden circle of light appeared behind him. It was the Soaring Yang Fire Formation. Both wings flapped to the side, and the Winged Serpent Transformation was finally used. Ji Dong's entire body was like a bolt of lightning as he chased after the Fireelectric Rat King.
Previously, when Ji Dong had been flying, he had maintained a very normal speed in order to confuse the Fireelectric Rat King. Now that he had suddenly exploded, he displayed his lightning-like speed.
In terms of speed, the Fireelectric Rat King was still slightly superior. Its ability to accelerate in the air was too strange, and it could change directions at any time, making it impossible to defend against. Although Ji Dong's sudden burst of speed had caused the Fireelectric Rat King to turn pale with fright, it was only because it didn't have the time to launch another attack. Both feet in the air, it had already leapt in another direction. That kind of instantaneous acceleration wasn't something that Ji Dong could catch up to even with the Winged Serpent Flash. Even if the Winged Serpent was here, it wouldn't be of any use.
However, although Ji Dong's speed wasn't as fast as the Fireelectric Rat King, because of Ji Dong's previous burst of speed, the distance between them had decreased a bit. At the same time, Ji Dong's eyes had already turned silver, and a soul detection net had already appeared in his mind.
That's right, Ji Dong couldn't catch up to the Fireelectric Rat King in terms of speed. However, with the Fireelectric Rat King's soul cultivation, it was impossible for it to hide from Ji Dong's detection.
The Fireelectric Rat King naturally felt that Ji Dong had locked onto it from all directions, but it didn't care. Being able to catch up was one thing, but being able to catch up was another.
However, its complacent attitude only lasted for half a second. In the next moment, it sank into panic. A powerful suction force suddenly appeared behind it, pulling at its body and causing it to slow down. Ji Dong changed directions and used the Flying Snake Flash to its fullest, continuing to chase after it. His right hand made a grabbing motion in the direction of the Fireelectric Rat King. It was the Godslaying Attraction.
A strong sense of danger appeared in the Fireelectric Rat King's heart. Ji Dong's psychological suggestion from before showed its effect at this moment. The Fireelectric Rat King's first thought was that Ji Dong could control its speed. With this change in attitude, it naturally couldn't remain calm. It didn't care about attacking, and instead kicked backwards with all its might, pushing its speed to the limit.
In reality, although Ji Dong's Godslaying Attraction was strange, there was a limit to its suction force. The Fireelectric Rat King was a creature that specialized in speed, and was also a peak Class 10 Magical Beast. Even with the Godslaying Wall, Ji Dong still might not be able to catch it.
