Finish them!
The Little Skeleton drew its blade, doing so without reservation!
Whoosh!
The Little Skeleton vanished on the spot. When the Little Skeleton re-appeared, it had penetrated the heavy defense mounted by her battle pets and was above Yuan Linglu’s head. Slay!
As the Little Skeleton waved its blade downward, intense flames surged from its edge.
Yuan Linglu was unable to grasp what had just happened. Fear spread across her face. She stared at the blade, getting closer and closer. The second the blade was about to land on her, as if stimulated by something, she cried out and moved backward, carried by many electric arcs.
Bang!
The blade missed its target. But the airstream from the blade turned into a dark dragon that was still going after her.
At the same time, the Little Skeleton had teleported again and appeared in front of Yuan Linglu. Same as before, the Little Skeleton waved its blade while aiming for her neck.
Yuan Linglu was terrified. Electric arcs were bouncing around her.
Bang!
The Little Skeleton wielded its blade. Yuan Linglu’s neck was cut. However, the next second, the figure that was Yuan Linglu was burst open, and many beams of electric light were flashing toward the Little Skeleton.
An illusion!
One that could detonate automatically!
The blast didn’t hurt the Little Skeleton in the slightest. The crimson glow in its eye sockets flickered for a bit. All of a sudden, the Little Skeleton dashed toward the left.
There, Yuan Linglu had just appeared when she saw the blade approaching her. Fear filled her eyes. The skeleton was too fast and fierce. She couldn’t find a chance to catch her breath.
Roar!!
While the blade was about to land on Yuan Linglu, a dragon began to roar. Yuan Linglu’s Starburst Dragon had finally come back to its senses and roared with enough strength to wake up the dead.
The dragon’s might was displayed!
As the dragon bellowed, it tried to overwhelm the skeleton.
Still, it was as if the Little Skeleton could feel nothing. It was still wielding its blade, completely unaffected!
No!
Yuan Linglu was unable to believe this.
Bang!!
Suddenly, a beam of golden glow appeared and stopped the blade.
There were some ripples on the beam.
Yuan Linglu had been keeping her eyes open. She was dazed as she stared at the beam of golden light that had emerged out of nowhere.
After countless rounds of training, she had adjusted to rely on some basic instincts. For example at critical moments, even when she was faced with death, she would not close her eyes because of fear. She would always keep her eyes open.
As such, she was able to see what had just happened in that fatal moment.
The beam of golden light… It didn’t seem to come from her battle pets.
Whoosh!
Right then, the dragon king’s soul that was observing on the side flew over and stood in front of the Little Skeleton. The dragon king’s soul darted a meaningful look at the Little Skeleton with its golden eyes. “Thou hath won,” The dragon king’s soul said to Su Ping. Su Ping was surprised that the dragon king’s soul would come out and save the girl. He had planned to kill her directly.
“Fine.”
Since the dragon king’s soul had stopped him, Su Ping gave up and told the Little Skeleton to return.
The Little Skeleton calmed down and the crimson glow from its eye sockets faded away. The Little Skeleton cast a glance at the dragon king’s soul before returning to Su Ping.
Su Ping patted the head of the Little Skeleton as it looked up at him. He wasn’t surprised that the battle had ended so quickly. After all, the Little Skeleton’s combat strength had reached a staggering 16. When the Little Skeleton was serious, the battle pets that were below the legendary rank would have no chance to rise to the situation and put their guards up. The Little Skeleton, when exerting full strength, was even able to instantly kill a beast that had just reached the legendary rank!
That was why Su Ping proposed to the dragon king’s soul to give him the legacy directly. For him, he could already anticipate the result of the test. The selection process was purely a waste of time for him.
The dragon king’s soul stared at Su Ping for a bit, wondering if it should be scared of him or glad. If it was right, the dragon king’s soul believed it had picked up a sense of the Skeleton King from that small skeleton.
The Skeleton King… It was a well-matching creature to the dragon king when the latter was still alive!
That was to say, when this skeleton grew up and reached the prime of its state, the skeleton could compare to the dragon king!
Since the skeleton was the inheritor’s battle pet, in a manner of speaking, the dragon king’s legacy would surely be passed on!
While the dragon king was deep in its thoughts, behind it, Yuan Linglu had come back to her senses. She gazed at the young man and the skeleton in a daze.
One battle pet and she had been defeated. She didn’t even have a chance to try any forbidden skills.
Her battle pets couldn’t react fast enough.
She wasn’t given the time to use any of the top-level skills or some special combination of moves.
She had lost.
The defeat came so quickly that she was deprived of all chances to show her advantages.
She would have died already, if it weren’t for the fact that she used some physical skills!
It had been a while since Yuan Linglu had experienced such a fight. When she was a kid, her grandpa would deliberately arrange battles between her and titled battle pet warriors. Back then, she would feel the overwhelming pressure. However, she had gradually become able to deal with such battles with grace when she turned 16.
As she became more and more proficient in using physical skills, she could even come up with several ways to defeat those that had just reached the titled rank!
She believed that it would be rare for anyone among her peers to be able to compete with her.
That had been a fact all along.
She went to the best academy in the Subcontinent District. She had gotten brilliant scores and demonstrated outstanding strengths. She was able to defeat those at a higher rank than she was and she graduated in one year. Even in that academy where talents were many, she was one of the most glaring stars; she had left a legend behind.
But…
In this place, she was crushed by the young man whose name she didn’t even know!
Such a disastrous defeat!
She lost…
Yuan Linglu felt she could hardly breathe and that feeling was growing stronger and stronger. Despair and frustration overwhelmed her; she could no longer control herself.
Since she was ten years old, her grandpa had been making plans and preparations for her in the Mysterious Realm.
This day, finally, she could receive the legacy but that honor had been snatched away from her by someone else and she couldn’t even fight back!
She had lost in both tests!
She was losing her mind as she thought of everything her grandpa had done for her.
Losing the legacy would mean that it was all that harder for her to get into that place!
“Why did you stop me from killing her?” Su Ping asked the dragon king’s soul curiously. His words pulled Yuan Linglu back to reality from her disappointment over being disqualified. She shuddered in fear as she gazed at the young man who was like a monster.
He asked the question in such a casual tone, as if he were simply asking about dinner.
He sounded so calm. Has he become that used to killing? Yuan Linglu couldn’t help but look at the dragon king’s soul that was standing in front of her, nervously. According to the rules, she was no longer qualified. The dragon king’s soul was on the young man’s side and as such, she was in a perilous position!
“Thou hath passed the tests and can receive my legitimate legacy. She has passed the test at the dragon skeleton and I have a secondary legacy to give to her,” the dragon king’s soul stated.
Su Ping was struck by disbelief.
She can get something even after losing?
Yuan Linglu was also surprised. She instantly felt relieved. It meant that she was still under the protection of the dragon king’s soul. Su Ping would be unable to hurt her.
“Secondary,” The dragon king’s soul explained, “Consider it a gift from me to her.”
“Sir, think it through. She is my competitor, and if I don’t kill her now, she will set up some sinister traps for me when we get out because she will hold a grudge. I am your legitimate inheritor. Aren’t you afraid that I could die in her hands?”
The dragon king’s soul didn’t seem surprised by Su Ping’s question. “That is why there are two pieces of legacy. On the off chance of thy demise, my legacy shall live on. As for retaliation, thou shan’t worry. When thou hath my legacy, thou will be much stronger and she won’t have any chance to go after thee.”
Su Ping was speechless.
What kind of reasoning was that?
Had the dragon king’s soul become weak minded after staying there for hundreds of thousands of years?
Sure, don’t put all your eggs in one basket. But you also shouldn’t let the eggs break each other!
Besides, Su Ping was the “legitimate” one.
The dragon king’s soul was making trouble for him!
Considering the level of your intelligence, your death shall not be regretted!
Su Ping was completely speechless.
Yuan Linglu was relieved, but at the same time, she was jealous because of what the dragon king’s soul said.
He would be better than her after getting the legacy? How she wished that everything was hers! Damn it!
She bit her teeth. Soon, she hid her killing intent and hatred in case the dragon king’s soul would notice. “That is to say, if five people received the marks, then the one legitimate inheritor would have to guard against the other four competitors, right?” Su Ping tried to reason with the dragon king’s soul again to correct this foolish mindset.
The dragon king’s soul replied, “I only prepared two. The other three would have been eliminated.”
Su Ping: Huh, interesting.
You’re telling me that you were thoughtful, right?!
“Be prepared. I shall take thee to the location,” The dragon king’s soul said.
Su Ping heaved a sigh. It seemed that he could never win an argument with the dragon king’s soul. He took a good look at the girl to remember her appearance. He would have to find a chance himself to eliminate this enemy when they got out.
“What’s your name?” Su Ping asked.
Yuan Linglu could tell Su Ping’s intention. “None of your f*cking business.” She snorted.
“You’re taking advantage of the dragon’s power to bully me, right? Hmm, you’d better wish you never run into me,” Su Ping cautioned her.
Yuan Linglu rolled her eyes and said nothing in reply, but she was inwardly nervous. Even without the legacy, the guy was already horrifying. What would he become when he received legacy?
While she was thinking, a beam of golden light burst out of the dragon king’s soul and took Su Ping away. Yuan Linglu was the only one standing on the boundless land.
Not long afterward, the dragon king’s soul re-emerged, only this time, the soul was much weaker than before. “Come with me,” The dragon king’s soul said slowly. With that said, the beam of golden light enveloped Yuan Linglu and she vanished on the spot.
Finish them!
The Little Skeleton drew its blade, doing so without reservation!
Whoosh!
The Little Skeleton vanished on the spot. When the Little Skeleton re-appeared, it had penetrated the heavy defense mounted by her battle pets and was above Yuan Linglu’s head. Slay!
