Chapter 194: Lin LI’s Close Combat Mode! (1/2)

The sudden appearance of Lin Li seemed to have set a blaze in the hearts of everyone present. The abrupt change of disappointment into pleasant surprise caused everyone to howl out in excitement. There was also the fact that Lin Li was someone on the Blossom Ranking, and it further intensified their excitement.

Bai Xiaofei seemed to have complete confidence in Lin Li, as he sent nobody else up. Lin Li alone walked onto the ring. It felt like Bai XIaofei was going to send his classmates into the ring one at a time for the entirety of this round.

Of course, although there was only Lin Li on the ring, the pressure on Yan Suzi’s class wasn’t any bit less. Lin Li was their bane, as Yan Suzi’s class was mainly made up of Energy Stream puppet masters, and Lin Li’s Divine Phoenix Feather Dress countered Energy Stream puppet masters. The scene of Lin Li battling multiple Energy Stream puppet masters by herself during the first round was still clear in everyone’s mind.

Although everyone hadn’t fought at full power during the first round, the same could be said for Lin Li as well. The seven members of Yan Suzi’s class started growing nervous.

“Prepare yourself. The match will start immediately.”

Luo Xi seemed displeased with how the other classes were dealing with Yan Suzi’s class. She did what she could to speed the match up. Of course, this tiny favor she showed would not affect the match. Even if Lin Li needed to get on the ring immediately, she did not care. In the face of absolute strength, tactics would have to take a step back.

The battle started, and immediately, the Divine Phoenix Feather Dress appeared on Lin Li’s body. Yan Suzi’s explosive attacks were all blocked outside Lin Li’s radius of control. No Energy Stream attacks could ever hope to approach Lin Li.

“Everyone, attack together! She won’t be able to counter two types of energy at the same time!”

Everyone knew this weakness of Lin Li’s. This was the only hope Yan Suzi had to winning this match. The smoke controller and earth controller did not fight as supports like they usually did. This time they started using their offensive abilities, preparing to attack together with Yan Suzi. Unfortunately, reality would never be as kind as a dream.

Yan Suzi had the correct strategy, yet she had neglected one thing: rank suppression. Both the smoke controller and the earth controller were only peak-grade Proficient Rank puppet masters. Lin Li was already a second-level Master Rank puppet master. It was true that she could not control two types of energy at the same time, but would the attacks of the smoke and earth controllers be effective against Lin Li when she had perfect control over one of them?

The answer was clear. They couldn’t. Three different energies smashed down onto Lin Li, but Lin Li only chose to exercise her control over the fire energy. A huge shield of flame appeared at the border of her zone of control, immediately neutralizing Yan Suzi’s attack. As for the attacks of the smoke and earth controllers, they were completely blocked outside the shield.

When they saw this, their hearts throbbed as a bad premonition rose within them. Immediately after, Lin Li lifted her hand while still hovering in the air. The signature radiance of Thousand Star flew out of the shield of flame and formed numerous flaming spears in the air. In the span of a few breaths, the ring was filled with the flaming spears.

“Go!” Lin Li softly muttered, and the flaming spears started raining down. The only thought present of everyone on the ring was “It’s over…”

The never-ending sounds of explosion reverberated throughout the public square. The concentrated rain of flaming spears was unavoidable. The two Defense Stream puppet masters suffered the brunt of the attack while trying to protect their teammates, and they were immediately turned into clumps of white radiance.

Of course, something still came out of their sacrifice. Yan Suzi, the smoke controller, and the earth controller survived the attack. The Defense Stream puppet masters couldn’t protect anyone else.

“Flame Domain Convergence!” At this point, Yan Suzi was no longer hoping to get lucky. The Flame Domain, had already reached a terrifying level of temperature, converged into her body, and after a slight delay, she once again became the flaming goddess of war.

You won’t be as powerful even in melee, right?

The instant she finished her transformation, Yan Suzi leapt towards Lin Li, who was hovering midair. The explosion accelerated her movement speed, turning her into an artillery shell.
