Chapter 33 (1/2)
According to the ranking battles rules, the person who ranked below could challenge the person with a higher ranking at any time, and the opponent must accept it unconditionally.
Lin Su ranked 3rd, while Zheng Qing ranked 10th.
In theory, Zheng Qing could choose not to accept his challenge.
However, Zheng Qing had been arrogant just now, and he had kept provoking others. If he declined the challenge, he would not be able to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
“Since you took the initiative to challenge, it’s not that I won’t accept it, however…”
Zheng Qing sounded hesitant, and he looked reluctant.
It seemed that he was very wary of Lin Su.
This was understandable. Just looking at the rankings, both of them were worlds apart in terms of their abilities. Zheng Qing had always been cunning. Naturally, he would find a good excuse to back down with good grace.
However, Lin Su would not go easy on him, interrupting him directly. “No more hesitation. Just one word, will you accept the challenge or not?”
Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, looking at the people around him from the corner of his eyes, then nodded with a heavy heart.
The ranking battle stage was activated again. Unlike other battles, if someone from the top ten positions joined the battle, it had to go through thorough confirmations.
As if unable to wait, Lin Su hurriedly nodded and launched an attack.
The beast he summoned was totally different from the Icicles River Carp. Even before the beast took shape, everyone could feel a strong heatwave, as scorching as the burning sun.
It looked like a flying swallow with a sharp golden beak. It had scarlet red feathers all over the body and a long tail feather.
Perhaps due to its original color or for other reasons, the long tail feather shone with golden-like patterns.
[The Taming System has been launched. Identifying…]
[Glittering Golden-Feathered Swallow: A super-grade beast. Embedded with high-grade Water Attribute Attack Spirit Core, and high-grade Fire Attribute Attack Spirit Core.]
[Talent skill: Golden Feather. It can be separated from its own tail feather and be used as an independent attack.]
[Skills book: Burning The Earth. This increases the fire attribute attack, and while causing fire attribute damage, reducing damage sustained by itself.]
[Skills book: Repelling Water. This increases the degree of attribute compatibility, forming a shield after active activation. It resists water attribute damage and reduces its additional control effects.]
Chen An finished reading the Glittering Golden-Feathered Swallow’s attributes. Lin Su’s beast was Zheng Qing’s nemesis.
He was about to exclaim in amazement when he noticed that things were getting tense on the battle stage. The Glittering Golden-Feathered Swallow’s tail feather turned into a beam of golden light, piercing toward Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing could not even dodge and was being stabbed by it.
Chen An found this scene to be very familiar.
This was similar to what had happened when he used the skill of the Silver-Feathered Eagle to defeat Zheng Qing within seconds. Both of them utilized the skills of flying feather-type beasts, and both of them used the feather of birds to attack the opponents.
This was how Zheng Qing was defeated twice in front of everyone.
Lin Su wrapped his arms around his chest. The Glittering Golden-Feathered Swallow appeared for only a few seconds and had completed its mission. Thus, it was put away.
The fastest way to defeat Zheng Qing’s Joint Combo was to win with speed and to end the battle in the shortest time possible, without giving him a chance to use it.
Lin Su walked to Zheng Qing. “So this is how powerful you are.”
Zheng Qing had no way to refute. No one who witnessed the battle could find a reason for Zheng Qing’s failure.
“Therefore, I also have the right to suspect that there was something fishy with the previous battle.” Lin Su unilaterally announced, “The previous challenge is not counted. You should be content with being in the 98th place. Be honest and return to where you should be.”
With that, Lin Su stepped off the battle stage.
