1539 Mirror Flower, Water Moon! (2)
Jin Tiankuang vs Yue Qiqiao!
Both names roused widespread attention.
Being one of the top ten in Zone 1 and a talent from the Jin family, the former was naturally powerful.
As for Yue Qiqiao, her fame rose at the later part of the competition. A member of the Yuanyue Race, she proved her ability during the previous matches.
In an overall perspective, there were less female warriors in the League of Talents, and only a few among them were outstanding.
!!
Aside from Leng Qianxue, there were only Yue Qiqiao and Tu Xiaoba.
Yue Qiqiao’s popularity was just a bit above Tu Xiaoba’s.
Those two ladies had completely different styles. The former was like a fairy, tall and elegant, while the latter was cute and delicate, even seeming a little mischievous.
However, as the saying went, cuteness was nothing in front of sexy.
The idea seemed somewhat one sided, given that everyone had different tastes. Who knows? Some people could prefer the cute sort, like the rabbit lady.
However, the majority preferred Yue Qiqiao. Her popularity was two ranks higher than Tu Xiaoba’s.
This was apparent when the former appeared; many people started cheering for her on the live chat platform.
“All the best Yue Qiqiao!”
“Defeat Jin Tiankuang!”
“The Jin family is nothing in front of my Goddess Yue. Goddess, defeat him!”
“Goddess Yue will win!”
“Go away! Jin Tiankuang is the most handsome. He’ll definitely win!”
“I love Jin Tiankuang’s cool and handsome face. Yue Qiqiao? Who’s she? She only looks pretty. The League of Talents has nothing to do with looks.”
“Gosh, you’re so biased!”
“There’s someone supporting that idiot Jin Tiankuang? Is there something wrong with these ladies?”
“That’s right, Jin Tiankuang is an idiot. He provoked Wang Teng for no reason during the elimination match and got tricked by him.”
“He probably figured out he was tricked after the match, but he didn’t dare to say anything.”
“Coward!”
The live chat platform was in a mess. Some supported Yue Qiqiao while others rooted for Jin Tiankuang…
Right then, the two contenders appeared high in the sky. An intense battle ensued.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Loud explosions resounded.
The man was powerful. The Strength Ultima was condensed around his blade while he attacked continuously. Every single attack was terrifying.
Yue Qiqiao wielded her sword and released sword glows made of a water-based ultima. They collided with her opponent’s blade glows.
The sky was shimmering with all their moves.
“Both their ultimas are similar. I didn’t expect such a talent to emerge from Yuanyue Race,” the Second Prince commented.
Timothy shook his head and said, “Jin Tiankuang has mastered a domain. Yue Qiqiao might not be his match.”
The battle grew heated as the discussions went on.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation emerged from Jin Tiankuang’s body, forming a special field around him. Yue Qiqiao was pulled within.
“Indeed, it’s a domain!” Ji Haochen exclaimed.
“Yue Qiqiao is going to lose!” The Second Prince squinted.
Everyone focused on the domain. The outcome would soon unfold.
Boom!
But, to everyone’s surprise—a violent explosion rang within the domain and the latter started trembling. There seemed to be a powerful force tossing and turning inside.
“What’s going on?” The Second Prince and the others were startled.
Boom!
The next instant, the man’s domain exploded and a raging energy swept through the arena.
The domain exploding sent out an uncontrollable burst of energy.
Jin Tiankuang flew out while vomiting blood.
Everyone was stunned by the scene.
“His domain got destroyed?”
“Jin Tiankuang lost?”
There was a huge uproar; no one could accept that result.
He’s a talent from the Jin family. How could he lose so easily?
On the Jin family’s spacecraft—Jin Xiangming furrowed his brow as he stared intently at the screen.
He wished for the boy to stand up, but things didn’t go the way he wanted. Jin Tiankuang was heavily injured, having been defeated in an overwhelming manner.
They lost!
A talented youth from the Jin family lost to an expert of the Yuanyue Race, leaving the Jins out of the top thirty-six. It felt like a joke.
Jin Xiangming was fuming.
The first match for the top thirty-six spots was already spectacular. The Jins lost and Yue Qiqiao advanced.
“Goddess Yue!”
“Goddess Yue!”
“Yue Qiqiao!”
“Yue Qiqiao!”
“Young clan leader!”
…
The crowd was cheering on the live chat platform. Some called her their goddess, while others used her name directly. There was also a certain group who called her ‘young clan leader’.
Those were her kin, witnessing the match.
Their hearts swelled with pride and joy, following Yue Qiqiao’s victory.
She was the young clan leader of her race. She was representing all of them; that was the reason for their excitement.
Planet Yuanyue.
That was their race’s home planet, where a beautiful and exquisite palace was located in the middle of a central continent. That was where the elders and their clan leader dwelled.
Right in the heart of the palace, within a great hall—a beautiful middle aged lady and a group of people were gathered in front of a screen. They observed the competition’s live feed with excitement and happiness.
“Yue Qiqiao didn’t disappoint us,” said a smiling Yue Ronghua. the leader of the Yuanyue race.
“That’s right. She has proven to be a genius ever since she was young; the most outstanding descendant our race has ever had,” an elder agreed with a nod.
“I hope she can walk further,” Yue Ronghua said hopefully.
“It’ll be great if she can enter the top ten.” Another elder was also hopeful.
“The top ten is too difficult. However, if she does make it, the Seven Stellar Academies will definitely take note of her,” said another elder, some distance away.
“It’s hard to see through the talents waiting on the stone platforms, especially the Crown Prince and Wang Teng; I can’t tell where their limits lie.” Yue Ronghua shook her head.
“The Second Prince and Su Jianchen are also the top talents in the Great Qian Empire,” the elder said.
“Climbing to the top ten is hard.” Everyone sighed.
…
Yue Qiqiao floated in the sky, enjoying the attention of the world. She garnered much recognition, the result of her outstanding performance.
Many were mesmerized by this talent from the Yuanyue race.
Some distance away—Jin Tiankuang clutched his chest with a bitter and resentful expression. Blood dripped down the edges of his lips.
The match ended. Both parties retreated and Wang Teng hurried to release his spiritual power, ready to collect the resulting attribute bubbles.
Constellation Force (Metal)*8700
Celestial Realm Spirit*3500
Heaven Realm Enlightenment*5400
Metal Domain*1200
Constellation Force (Water)*9000
Celestial Realm Spirit*4600
Heaven Realm Enlightenment*6300
Water Lunar Domain*1800
…
Wang Teng’s gaze turned curious as the attribute bubbles merged into his body.
Water Lunar Domain! Wang Teng pondered. The relevant information appeared in his mind and astounded him even more.
That was a double-element domain; a combination of spirit and the water element.
Yue Qiqiao was a divine spirit master, just like him!
She never displayed her spiritual power during her previous matches, only being forced to reveal it during the last match.
The young hero could admit that she had hidden her abilities well.
Even Jin Tiankuang had lost to her Water Lunar Domain. It was surprising.
Wang Teng had learned of her domain right after getting the attributes, so he knew how powerful it was.
Mirror flower, water moon!
It was a domain able to create illusions. It was very likely that Jin Tiankuang was mesmerized by the illusions and lost.
The young hero was highly interested in the newly acquired domain. He was already planning to fuse it with his Netherworld Domain.
He was skilled at this.
After all, he had already grasped a few domains that combined spirit with other elements.
He closed his eyes and started digesting his gains.
The competition continued.
