Chapter 224 Let's have a match
In the distance, Xia Tang and Yao Yue, who had been granted special permission to stay away from the battlefield, stood together.
"This has gone too far," Xia Tang said with a smile, but her eyes were full of seriousness and tension.
Let alone those currently engaged in combat, just standing here, one can feel the scorching heat; the towering thorns bring the most primal threat and oppression.
"What you see now is only a part of her power," Yao Yue said calmly.
"It sounds like you've seen a lot."
Yao Yue shook her head: "I don't know if that counts as her all-out effort. At least, when we encountered that mutant human that day, no one present could survive it. Miao Yin not only did that, but she also dug out its crystal core, and the entire Hangshan Zoo was burned down."
Hangshan Zoo?
Xia Tang was somewhat surprised. Few people didn't know about this famous tourist attraction. How could such a large zoo have been burned down?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a chill for Tan Ling and the others, and was glad that she didn't have an offensive ability.
She asked curiously, "What level of mutant was that you just mentioned?"
Yao Yue pursed her lips: "I...I don't know, I've never seen anything like that before..."
Thinking back to the immense pressure she felt at that time, to the point that even her breathing was suppressed, Yao Yue couldn't help but shudder.
"That was the most terrifying mutant I've ever seen. Even mutants at the yellow crystal core level were killed by it in an instant. I can't even imagine its level."
Even those at the Huang Jing level were killed?!
Xia Tang knew she wasn't some caged canary. Having traveled all over the country with the team, she naturally understood how terrifying a yellow crystal core level monster could be. Even the four of them had almost lost their lives before.
Does the monster Yao Yue mentioned really exist?
If that were the case, wouldn't that mean...?
A chill ran down Xia Tang's spine.
She turned her gaze to Yao Yue and subtly activated a bit of her supernatural power: "So, you followed Miao Yin not just because of the curse?"
Fortunately, Yao Yue wasn't using her protective shield the whole time. At that moment, Xia Tang's superpower took effect on her for the first time.
That alluring ability, yet not entirely obvious manipulation, made her lower her guard a little.
Yao Yue's eyes suddenly glazed over, and she said in a low voice, "Seeing the curse is the main reason, but... I'm afraid. If the world in the future is full of monsters of that level, I won't be able to survive with my abilities. Maybe being chosen like this is lucky in a way, but... I'm sorry, Gong Jingming..."
At this point, Xia Tang withdrew her supernatural ability; she always knew when to stop.
With her senses returning, Yao Yue's eyes cleared instantly. Recalling what she had just said, her face turned ugly.
Xia Tang saw her shame and frustration and said, "The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive. If this is the only way you can live, you don't need to feel guilty."
“…You’re right.” Yao Yue turned her head away awkwardly.
Xia Tang gently comforted her, making the most of her strengths.
However, Xia Tang knew in her heart that she would never truly trust Yao Yue; this was her way of dealing with people.
She had no interest in being felt guilty after becoming the second Gong Jingming.

A thunderclap suddenly appeared on the flat ground, and more than a dozen ball lightning bolts converged and took shape around Ji Yuanzhou. The black and white lightning bolts forcefully cleaved a piece of sky and earth in the fiery red.
Come to think of it, it's been a while since Miao Yin has seen Ji Yuanzhou make a move.
While they were away, Ji Yuanzhou guarded her manor, and from time to time, she would encounter some troublesome mutants that attacked the manor.
After he killed those mutants, he left their corpses outside, but he dug out and absorbed their crystal cores, so he didn't leave them too far behind.
Miao Yin guessed that these mutants were attracted by the little spider-man, so their levels were not low. It's just that Ji Yuanzhou didn't know he had such an ability and always thought it was just bad luck. When he was around, there were a lot more mutants coming.
He is diligent and has never stopped training. This time, his performance has shown Miao Yin something new.
She heard the sound of thunder, and black and white lightning, carrying the most primal violence of nature, slashed the thorns fiercely.
The thorns snapped, and without Miao Yin's power, they returned to their pure white form and fell to the ground. The asphalt road turned into a giant electric board, with current rushing through it like ten thousand white horses galloping in, carrying endless carnage.
The black fire thorn slammed into the ground, the immense force creating a deep and massive trench. Flames spread out, forcefully blocking the electric current and causing a burst of sparks.
The crackling electric current sent chills down the spines of all the onlookers.
Even Tan Ling involuntarily held her breath, her expression turning fierce.
Ultimately, this was the first time Ji Yuanzhou had publicly displayed his strength in front of them on such a large scale.
They could probably guess the power of lightning-based superpowers, but if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes today, they would have found it hard to believe that the usually talkative, mild-mannered person who complained about how difficult the oven was to use was actually a hidden killing god.
He's just a B-level ability user!
This is a clash between two natural beings. Without all those fancy airs, Miao Yin finally showed a bit of fighting spirit in her eyes.
As the ground current was blocked, ball lightning attacked them in an arc, coming from all directions.
Then the flames began to boil, and the magma-like fire finally revealed its true form, transforming into sharp blades, united against the outside world.
Miao Yin's dark eyes reflected the surging black and white electric balls, while crackling explosions filled her ears.
The fiery arrow shot out instantly, hitting its mark every time, precisely piercing each ball of lightning. Its all-consuming nature shattered the stability of the electric ball, causing it to explode on the spot and scatter into a shower of fireworks.
The horrific explosion left countless craters in the ground, and the scorched earth hissed and smoked.
Miao Yin chuckled lightly, "The effect is quite good, but how long can you maintain it?"
Ji Yuanzhou's biggest weakness is that his superpower is consumed too quickly; if he's not careful, his superpower pool will dry up.
That attack was indeed fierce and domineering, but given his level, it would be difficult for him to pull off a second attack of that scale in a short period of time.
Ji Yuanzhou swallowed hard, clasping his hands together to prevent them from trembling embarrassingly.
"We can do it again," he said firmly, his voice refracted through his glasses.
Miao Yin's eyes sparkled like lotus blossoms, her golden pupils narrowing to points with delight: "You guys are playing a tag game with me, hahaha—it makes me look like I'm cheating, don't you think, Ling?"
Upon hearing this, Ling said, "My Thorns are restricting you. If we're talking about cheating, it's just letting them have an easy time. Why don't we switch?"
After saying that, she let go of her hand and looked at her with her violet eyes: "Ayin, let's have a match too."
