“What is it?” Qin Yun spoke.
Xiao Wu said.
“2v2 Spirit battle, I also want to team up with you!”
“You carried Rongrong for a match, you should carry me for a match too!”
“Hmm?”
In Qin Yun’s memory.
After spending six years together at Nuoding City Academy.
Xiao Wu’s feelings for Tang San should have been very deep, so why would she proactively look to team up with him at this time?
When things are abnormal, there is bound to be something fishy.
Qin Yun did not answer immediately, instead quietly looking into Xiao Wu’s eyes.
His gaze was not heavy, yet it carried a slow and unhurried penetrative force.
Xiao Wu felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
She urged, “Are you going to agree or not?
Just one match!”
Qin Yun withdrew his gaze, the corners of his mouth curving into an extremely faint arc.
He did not expose her.
He wanted to see what kind of scheme this little rabbit was plotting after all.
Thus, he agreed.
He said, “Fine, then I’ll carry you for a match.”
“Great!” A brilliant smile immediately blossomed on Xiao Wu’s face.
Then she grabbed Qin Yun’s cuff and dragged him toward the registration desk.
“Then let’s go right now!
Queue up right now!
The next match happens to be vacant!” Her movements were so fast as if she was afraid Qin Yun would go back on his word.
Ning Rongrong stood in place.
Watching the retreating figure of Xiao Wu dragging Qin Yun away, she also felt extremely strange.
Afterward, she also chased after them.
The matches for 2v2 Spirit battles were far fewer than 1v1, and level 40 double matching was not considered many.
After the two registered, they barely waited at all.
The announcer’s female voice resounded in the corridor, reading out their codenames and opponents’ information.
When Qin Yun and Xiao Wu walked onto the arena one after the other.
They were a pair of siblings; the elder sister had a tall figure, her Spirit was a Green Scaled Snake, and four spirit rings—one white, two yellow, and one purple—slowly rotated beside her; the younger brother had a sturdy figure, with his feet faintly glowing with an earth-yellow halo, and his Spirit was clearly some kind of earth-attribute Beast Spirit biased toward defense.
When the two people’s gazes landed on Qin Yun, they both carried a layer of obvious solemnity.
They had personally witnessed the entire process of Qin Yun setting up the lightning array and crushing that pair of brothers from off the stage just now.
The elder sister looked Qin Yun up and down twice, then tilted her head to look at Xiao Wu beside him.
After a moment of silence, a subtle flavor between mockery and banter arose in her tone.
“Kid, you certainly change people quite diligently.”
“Where is that little support system beauty from just now?”
“In just this short while, you’ve changed to a new face again?”
When she said this, a smile hung on the corners of her mouth, but her gaze never left Qin Yun’s hands.
Clearly, talking back aside, her body still maintained a high degree of vigilance.
Qin Yun did not take her words.
He merely slowly moved his wrists, his tone calm.
“Stop talking nonsense, let’s make a Move.”
He tilted his head to look at Xiao Wu beside him, and said: “Xiao Wu, when I pressure them, you just seize the opportunity to strike casually, don’t think too much about it, their attention will be on me.”
These words sounded entirely reasonable.
Xiao Wu immediately nodded, and crisply replied: “Okay!
No problem!”
Her face smiled obediently.
But the moment Qin Yun turned back around, Xiao Wu withdrew that smile from the corners of her mouth.
She lowered her eyes, and under the cover of her positioning, quietly pushed open the trigger mechanism of the Godly Zhuge Crossbow in her sleeve halfway, and then groped out three short bolts coated with light green venom from her waist side hidden pouch, inserting them into the crossbow groove one by one.
Her movements were very light, fearing that Qin Yun would discover it.
A surge of drive was roiling in her heart.
Qin Yun injured Tang San; the first time he injured his left arm, the second time he directly pierced through the joints of the Eight Spider Lances.
Every time she stood at the side of the arena watching, clenching her fists and biting her lips yet unable to do anything.
Now she finally had a chance to stand behind Qin Yun, why would she care about any rules of a 2v2 Spirit battle?
She only thought of ambushing Qin Yun while the opponents were fighting and while Qin Yun was going all out to deal with those two level 40 Spirit Masters.
Even if she couldn’t hit a vital point, making him miserable for a match and making a fool of himself would still vent some bad breath for Little San.
This thought of hers came righteously and confidently, without ever thinking about a second layer. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Qin Yun was a Spirit Ancestor with four all-black spirit rings, while she was a Spirit Elder who had just achieved a Breakthrough to level thirty.
How much winning chance could a sneak attack have?
Furthermore, when she came to team up, her reason was bizarre; how could Qin Yun possibly not guard against her?
One can only say that the hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit, having Cultivated for so long, only grew in age in her brain.
This was as naive as her daring to sneak out from the Star Dou Great Forest and wander blindly around Nuoding City during her childhood.
The brother and sister opposite looked at each other and simultaneously made a Move.
They had personally seen the power of Qin Yun’s lightning array, and what they feared most right now was letting Qin Yun leisurely arrange those metal pillars.
Therefore, right from the start, they chose close-combat suppression.
The elder sister’s figure slithered close to the ground like a snake, the spirit power of her Green Scaled Snake Spirit forming a circle of fine cyan light around her body, wherever she passed, the arena’s brick surface silently cracked with several shallow marks; while the younger brother fiercely stamped his feet on the ground, an earth-yellow spirit power barrier spreading from the soles of his feet, wrapping his and his sister’s figures within it, charging forward in big strides, pressing toward Qin Yun’s front like a moving fortress.
Qin Yun stood in place, his left hand raised, spirit power circulating between his five fingers.
Of course he perceived the subtle sound of the hidden crossbow trigger mechanism behind him, knowing that this was Xiao Wu fidgeting with Hidden Weapons.
He did not look back, nor did he expose anything.
At this moment, the brother and sister opposite had already forced their way right in front of him.
The younger brother exerted force first, fiercely stepping on the ground with his feet to condense a rugged rock-armor barrier in front of him, crushing toward Qin Yun’s front.
The force of this collision carried the full weight and spirit power of a level 40 Spirit Master, and even the arena’s bricks and stones were crushed into tiny cracks by his footsteps.
Qin Yun did not retreat or dodge, instead taking half a step forward facing the rock-armor.
The bonus of four ten-thousand-year spirit rings made Qin Yun’s physical fitness far surpass ordinary Spirit Masters of the same level.
Even in close-quarters melee combat, he was not afraid in the least.
He extended his right palm, his five fingers closed together like a blade, precisely cutting into the thickest central location of the rock-armor, the spirit power in his palm suddenly vibrating, a dense and thick hidden force spreading in reverse along the internal cracks of the rock-armor.
The younger brother’s expression changed abruptly; the rock-armor he was proud of actually burst open several deep cracks from the inside out under this seemingly casual palm strike from Qin Yun.
His entire person was shaken backward by this counter-push force.
Almost at the same instant, the elder sister’s figure turned into a blue-gray afterimage, slithering close to the ground from the flank.
Her Green Scaled Snake Spirit turned into a zhang-long phantom between her arms, her snake mouth wide open, dark green venom condensing between her fangs, heading straight for Qin Yun’s right waist and ribs.
This was her habitual surprise Move, taking advantage of the moment when her younger brother attracted front attention to follow up with a fatal blow from the side.
However, Qin Yun’s left hand had already been prepared by his side.
With a gentle rub of his two fingers, a cluster of combustible gas mixed with hydrogen and oxygen was ignited by spirit power.
The silently detonating wave of air exploded from the side.
It precisely intercepted the middle section of the elder sister’s charge route.
The air wave grazed past her Green Scaled Snake phantom.
The scorching airflow pushed her offensive momentum crookedly, and the snake’s mouth bit empty air.
