Chapter 35: Clash of Titans! A Tier 5 Assassin Takes on a Tier 6 Vajra Bear!
Chapter 35 Ultimate Showdown! A Tier 5 Assassin Clashes Head-on with a Tier 6 Vajra Bear!
On the stage, Cai'er stood quietly.
Beneath the veil, a stern expression appeared on her exquisite face for the first time.
For her, this was indeed an unprecedented and severe test.
She was not afraid of any opponent her age, but she was particularly wary of Chen Ying'er's "Gate of Life".
That thing is full of unknown variables; no one knows what kind of monster will emerge from behind the door.
At least in the first two rounds of the competition, all the magical beasts summoned by Chen Ying'er were ferocious beasts starting from the sixth rank!
Compared to Cai Ji's serious preparation, Chen Ying, standing opposite him, seemed much more relaxed, even without any psychological burden.
The little girl held the crystal ball, her mind as clear as a mirror, fully aware of how much of her knowledge was actually misleading.
Her summoning magic is essentially a gacha game where fate decides.
If you're incredibly lucky today and pull out a killer weapon, that would be fantastic.
But if she's unlucky and summons a little lamb that can only bleat or a big fat pig from the door, she can only accept her fate.
She would be content as long as she made it through the preliminary rounds and into the finals.
Every win she makes now is a huge bonus for her.
Of course, the little girl was still a little nervous.
It wasn't that she was afraid of losing, but rather that she was afraid that if she actually summoned a little sheep today, her persona as the "first place in the preliminary round" mysterious expert would completely collapse, and the huge contrast in how outsiders perceived her would be embarrassing just thinking about it.
"God bless me, all the gods bless me, please don't let me lose face—" Chen Ying'er prayed frantically in her heart.
"The match begins!" The referee's arm swung down suddenly.
To everyone's surprise, Cai'er stood still and didn't move an inch when facing the summoner!
Unlike the previous wind-elemental warriors, she did not choose to interrupt the spellcasting with a rapid attack.
Because she knew very well that when Chen Ying'er released the "Gate of Life," the soul shield that appeared around her was extremely powerful. Forcibly breaking the shield would not only consume a lot of spiritual power, but would also likely be counterproductive.
It would be better to wait and see, until Chen Ying'er completes the summoning magic, and then directly defeat the summoned beast from the front!
This is the absolute confidence that belongs to the Assassin Queen!
Seeing that Cai'er did not attack, Chen Ying'er was overjoyed. She immediately closed her eyes and began to chant the long and obscure incantation at lightning speed.
The short three-minute chanting session felt like an eternity under the tense gaze of the entire audience.
The magical elements in the air began to run rampant, and a chilling pressure gradually enveloped the entire trial ground.
"Buzz—"
'
With a violent spatial distortion, the "Gate of Life," several meters high and exuding an ancient and desolate aura, rose from the center of the arena once again!
"roar-!!!"
The moment the door opened a crack, a violent, terrifying roar that seemed capable of shattering the soul roared out.
Immediately afterwards, a dense, dark golden light burst forth from behind the door, illuminating the entire arena with a chilling aura.
The atmosphere on the scene instantly became extremely tense, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the light gate.
A huge bear paw, as if cast from pure gold and covered with thick muscles, suddenly gripped the door frame.
Then, a terrifying giant bear, even larger than yesterday's Earth Bear and covered in dark golden fur, roared as it forced its way out of the Gate of Life!
"Mighty Vajra Bear! My God, it's actually a peak sixth-tier Mighty Vajra Bear!"
On the platform, a high-ranking member of the Warrior's Temple suddenly stood up and exclaimed in shock.
Chen Ying'er opened her eyes and saw the giant beast exuding overwhelming ferocity. She was so surprised that she almost jumped up.
Not just the peak of the sixth rank!
The dark golden fur on this Mighty Golden Bear is pure, which indicates that its bloodline is extremely powerful, and it has even stepped halfway into the threshold of the seventh rank!
Its defensive and destructive power is absolutely among the best of all magical beasts of the same rank!
"Sorry, miss, it seems my luck is still good today!" Chen Ying'er exclaimed triumphantly, pointing her little finger, "King Kong, go!"
"roar!"
The Mighty King Kong Bear roared to the sky, pounding its chest with both fists, producing a dull, booming sound like a drumbeat.
Then, its mountain-like body suddenly leaped up, and with the force of Mount Tai pressing down, it pounced on Caiji!
Facing this terrifying beast at the peak of the sixth rank, Cai'er's expression turned completely serious.
"He is indeed a formidable opponent."
Just as the Mighty Bear pounced with the force of Mount Tai crashing down, Cai'er moved.
She casually stuck her ever-used bamboo cane into the ground beside her, and then subtly reached for her waist with her right hand.
"Zheng"
With a crisp, soft sound, a dark gold dagger, exuding a chilling killing intent, silently slid into her palm.
The moment the dark gold dagger appeared, Cai'er's entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change!
The frail, quiet blind girl has disappeared, replaced by a peerless assassin who has emerged from the darkness!
A pure, cold, tangible killing intent erupted from her body like a storm.
"boom!"
The Mighty King Kong Bear slammed down with its massive paws, powerful enough to shatter city walls, causing the entire arena to tremble violently. The hard magic stone floor instantly cracked with countless deep fissures.
However, the attack missed.
Just before the giant hand landed, Cai'er's figure vanished from the spot like a wisp of purple smoke.
"Roar?" The Mighty King Kong missed its attack, a hint of doubt flashing in its eyes.
Just then, a deadly chill suddenly struck from its side and rear.
Cai'er appeared like a ghost, her dark gold dagger transforming into a streak of light as she viciously slashed at the back of the giant bear's neck!
"bite-!!!"
A piercing clang of metal clashing resounded throughout the arena, sparks flying everywhere.
The Mighty King Kong Bear's defensive capabilities are simply abnormal to the extreme; its dark golden fur hardens like steel the moment it is attacked.
Cai'er's swift strike only left a shallow bloodstain on its fur, which was far from fatal!
"What an insane defense." Cai'er frowned slightly, then flashed away, creating distance once again.
"A head-on confrontation isn't an assassin's style." Bai Ye's voice rang out leisurely in his mind. "Although this behemoth has thick skin and terrifying strength, its massive size and clumsy movements make it nothing more than a giant sitting duck in front of you, who possesses ultimate speed."
A cold smile curved the corners of Cai'er's lips beneath her veil: "Understood. Since one strike won't kill it, we'll slowly bleed it dry!"
