Chapter 254 - 190: Yao Zhixue VS Zhang Meiyu!
Chapter 254: Chapter 190: Yao Zhixue VS Zhang Meiyu!
The news of Yao Zhixue’s duel with Zhang Meiyu quickly reached the freshmen who were aiming to compete for the spots of the Top Ten Hidden Dragons.
In addition to Zhou Xinyu, Dongfang Yang, Wave Overturner, and Zheng Yi, others such as Purple Poppy, Jiang Jingkui, and Bear Pride, were all paying attention to this contest.
Among them was also Cui Xiabing, who was eager to recruit Zheng Cheng.
She had been present at the freshmen welcome party. Upon hearing that Yao Zhixue was going to duel with Zhang Meiyu, she quickly rushed to the stage.
“Yao Zhixue and Zhang Meiyu, the top performers among the nine-star professionists, if I could recruit them…”
“No, it’s impossible.”
She shook her head, “Zhang Meiyu is from the Zhang Family in Black Dragon City, she won’t join my team.”
“But Yao Zhixue is different, she comes from a common background. If she could join me…”
“Sister Xia Bing.”
Duoyi, who was behind her, whispered, “I heard somewhere that Yao Zhixue and Zheng Cheng are dating, so if…”
“Dating?”
Cui Xiabing’s eyes flashed, showing a hint of regret and surprise, “They’re in a relationship? That’s even better!”
“If I could recruit Yao Zhixue, wouldn’t Zheng Cheng join as well?!”
“Possibly…”
Cui Xiabing nodded, “let’s see who wins first.”
“Yes!”
Aside from them, there were many sophomores, juniors, and even school leaders who were also watching this contest.
In the freshman campus conference room, several school leaders were holding a meeting regarding the teaching content for the new students and the school-wide secret realm examination that was to take place in a month.
They were also informed about the impending duel between the two students.
“Hmm? The Zhang daughter from Black Dragon City is causing trouble again?”
“Zhang Meiyu, right? I’ve met her. She’s got great abilities, but her arrogant personality and her sexual orientation are issues for the old folks in the Zhang Family.”
“Zhang Meiyu… Isn’t she betrothed to Zheng Yi from Nine Snake Island?”
“Yes, but it’s simply a trade between the Zhang Family and the factions on Storm Island and Nine Snake Island.”
“Humph! The higher-ups certainly wouldn’t want a second Nine Snake Island. The Zhang Family is digging its own grave!”
“This matter… Is beyond our control.”
Someone suddenly asked, “What’s the situation with this Yao Zhixue? Why don’t we know about her specific profession?”
The head principal suddenly said, “Yao Zhixue’s information is a Night Watchman’s secret. Everyone here, even I lack the authority to investigate.”
“We only know her profession is tied to a secret in the Alien Battlefield.”
“Secret?”
A few people beneath raised their eyebrows, but didn’t ask further.
After all, the Night Watchman represents the higher-ups, and even the opinion of the Elders Council!
“What about their duel?”
“Just let it proceed as usual,” said the Principal, “Everything should be done according to the rules.”
“Yes!”
The field, the dueling stage.
Yao Zhixue was the first to step onto the stage. The teacher who guards the dueling stage came out, “Student, what are you doing here?”
There were teachers assigned to guard each dueling stage in the school.
Their job was to activate and oversee the stage, ensuring the safety of the students during their duels.
After all, they were just students, merely competing, not fighting to the death.
Yao Zhixue turned around and looked at Zhang Meiyu below the stage and said, “I’m here for a duel.”
“At this time?”
“What, can’t I?”
Zhang Meiyu also strode onto the stage, laughing arrogantly, “Teacher, hurry up and start, I have other things to do!”
“You?”
The teacher frowned, but still didn’t say anything. He moved back to the center of the stage and activated the array.
A thin screen of array light enveloped the entire stage.
In a short time, hundreds of people gathered around the stage.
Chicken nervously asked, “Brother Cheng, do you think Yao Zhixue will win?”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “I don’t know much about Zhang Meiyu, so I’m not sure about her strength.”
“But, I trust Zhixue, she’s not impulsive.”
“That’s good…”
Chicken heaved a sigh of relief, “That Zhang Meiyu is so annoying, I hope Yao Zhixue takes her down!”
Zheng Cheng’s face also showed some concern, but he asked, “Oh yes, I forgot to ask you, how’s that Ghost Owl Feather doing?”
Chicken hesitated, “I ate it.”
“How’s the effect?”
“There’s none.”
“What does that mean?”
“My spirit attribute increased by 50 points, but I didn’t awaken the Ghost Owl Bloodline.”
“I see, what a pity…” Zheng Cheng also sighed regretfully, “Awakening a bloodline is a matter of chance, but there will be other opportunities in the future…””
As the two were speaking, Zhang Meiyu and Yao Zhixue on the stage had already started to make their moves.
“Yao Zhixue, I’ll give you one chance…”
Before Zhang Meiyu could finish her threat, she was met with a violent blizzard that slapped her in the face.
“Damn it!”
Feeling the rapidly approaching blizzard, Zhang Meiyu cursed under her breath.
A hot current surged within her body, instantly spreading throughout her.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and stormed towards Yao Zhixue.
“Whiz!”
“Whiz, whiz!!”
In the blizzard, more than ten ice blades about a meter long, were forming at a speed visible to the naked eye under Yao Zhixue’s control.
With just a slight movement of her hands, the dozen ice rapiers tore through the open air, propelling towards Zhang Meiyu at an extremely high speed.
Under normal circumstances, if manipulated by Yao Zhixue’s blizzard, even an ordinary professionist would find it extremely difficult to move.
Launching an ice rapier attack at this moment would almost certainly defeat any ordinary professionist.
However, Zhang Meiyu moved unhindered within the raging blizzards, emitting waves of scorching heat from her body that evaporated all the incoming snowstorms.
Her whole body was, astoundingly, enveloped in a cloud of steam.
As the ice rapiers charged, she swiftly darted forward, dodging the first attack.
The ice rapier fiercely smashed into the ground, scattering a large amount of ice debris.
“Whoosh!”
Another ice pawl hurtled towards, Zhang Meiyu easily avoided it.
She clenched her fists, and a radiating red flame burst forth, forming two whips entirely made of squirming, burning flames.
“Take this!”
Zhang Meiyu exclaimed with a dark grunt. She brandished the flaming whips, which shot out like ferocious fire pythons, exploding the incoming rapiers before they could reach her.
“Come to mama!”
She roared again and launched her fire pythons forward, breaking through the enveloping blizzard.
With their huge fire mouths wide open, they lunged at Yao Zhixue!
“Look out!”
Many spectators around the arena exclaimed in shock.
No one expected Zhang Meiyu to use the technique of transforming fire into a whip.
If Yao Zhixue was caught by these two fiery whips and then closed in by Zhang Meiyu…
“Boom!”
Before hundreds of stunned eyes, three gigantic ice shields sprouted forth in front of Yao Zhixue.
The two fire pythons collided with the ice shields, triggering a colossal explosion.
In the middle of all the smoke, Zhang Meiyu’s figure burst out from the blizzard.
“Hahaha!”
Zhang Meiyu laughed triumphantly: “Ha, here I am, Yao Zhixue! Now you’re in for it…”
“Boom!”
Before Zhang Meiyu’s gleeful words were concluded, another violent explosion boomed from the neutral ground where both of them stood.
A towering figure, about ten meters in height, descended abruptly amidst the snowstorm, kicking Zhang Meiyu into flight with a single mighty foot.
Even though she managed to raise her hands in front of her in time, she was still sent flying several meters away.
“Whoa!”
The spectators were taken aback at the sight of the emergence of the iceberg giant.
“Ice… Iceberg Giant!”
“Yao Zhixue can summon an Iceberg Giant?”
“No, no, it’s not a real Iceberg Giant, just a phantom!”
Amid exclamations of shock, the phantom of the Iceberg Giant violently grabbed the air in front of it.
The next second, heaps of snow billowed forward, forming a thick and long glacial spear in its hand!
“Whoosh…!”
The ice spear shot out, transformed into a bolt of lightning, and instantly struck the ground where Zhang Meiyu was.
“Boom!”
Accompanied by a gigantic rumbling sound, the ice spear exploded on impact with the ground, generating a bombardment of snowflakes surging around the arena.
The illuminating curtain of the defense array on the stage oscillated visibly as it blocked the blizzard.
In just a few seconds, the entire arena had transformed into a world of frost and snow.
Zhang Meiyu’s figure had already disappeared, buried under the snowstorm.
At this point, the hundreds of people around the arena were all stunned silent.
“So, so powerful!”
“Where’s Zhang Meiyu? She didn’t faint, did she?”
“Zhang Meiyu is this weak? It can’t be…”
“Brother Cheng! Yao Zhixue is going to win!”
Caiji, excitedly watching the arena, spoke with anticipation.
Zheng Cheng frowned and said, “Something’s not right, Zhang Meiyu can’t be this weak.”
At this point, Lang Fanny, who was at the top of the distant venue, was also staring at the arena with a furrowed brow.
“Is Zhang Meiyu’s Black Dragon Body this weak? What a waste of my expectations…”
In the shadows, Zhou Xinyu, Dongfang Yang and others arrived one after another.
Hmm? Zhang Meiyu lost?”
Zhou Xinyu was surprised, “Yao Zhixue and Zheng Cheng are close, she might not be his girlfriend, but she’s close enough. Looks like I’ll have to reevaluate Zheng Cheng and the strength of his people.”
Dongfang Yang, however, was intently staring at Yao Zhixue’s figure, his eyes filled with greed.
“Yao Zhixue’s strength… to control the blizzard, if she could join forces with me, that would be truly powerful!”
“Only a woman like her is worthy of me, Zheng Cheng is nothing more than trash!”
“It seems, I have to find an opportunity…”
Under the gaze of hundreds of shocked, surprised, or anticipatory eyes, the snow in the middle of the arena suddenly began to melt at a visibly quick pace.
A cloud of steam soared into the sky, revealing the figure of Zhang Meiyu.
She raised her hands to the sky, and torrents of scorching heat condensed in front of her.
Yao Zhixue, standing behind the iceberg giant, immediately noticed Zhang Meiyu’s reappearance. At her command, the Iceberg Giant took one step forward and punched downward.
“Boom!”
“Yao Zhixue… if you refuse to offer wine, then drink the fine!”
“Take this… die!”
Zhang Meiyu roared, smashing her hands downwards.
“Volcanic Eruption!!!”
