Chapter 354: Duanmu Yi Ren’s choice |
The name “Ice” and her Job quickly spread all over China. Even if she had no power, that ice cold appearance was enough for everyone to praise her.
“Bing’er, it’ll be hard not becoming famous this time.” Feng Xiao said with a faint smile. She had perfectly propelled the might of water magic.
He knew that Chen Bing Er’s power wasn’t just this. From the beginning of the competition to now, she hadn’t taken out the Extreme Ice Sword.
Chen Bing Er shook her head with a faint smile to show that she didn’t care. Only she knew in her heart that her only goal in participating in this tournament was to prove herself to him.
“Your magic attack should be unmatched by anyone, but your HP is a weakness that can’t be made up for. You have to be careful in the later matches and don’t let your enemies get close to you……” Thinking of the ice cold energy around her, he quickly shook his head, “Oh, it’s not possible getting close to you, but don’t let others have a chance to hit you. After this match, those that enter the next round should be thinking of ways to deal with you.”
Chen Bing Er didn’t answer, showing that she still didn’t care. Perhaps only she knew just how strong she was right now.
Xiao Tian who had been ignored the whole time muttered in a dissatisfied voice, “Boss……Why don’t you care about me too? My next opponent definitely isn’t simple either!”
“You?” Feng Xiao turned around, “You’re afraid of not entering the top thirty two with your strength? Speaking of it, you still haven’t told me the deal with your over twenty thousand HP.”
“Eh……This……” As if thinking of something terrifying, Xiao Tian started shivering. His high HP was because he had been fed all kinds of strange medicine by Boundless Flames.
Bao Bao’s happy voice came from the yard. Xiao Tian’s face froze and he quickly ran off, “Boss…..I still have other things to do, I’ll tell you later.”
Feng Xiao watched Xiao Tian leave with a thoughtful look before secretly pondering, “Why is Xiao Tian afraid of seeing Bao Bao? He even wears a mask when meeting her……”
Could it be that they knew each other?
Feng Xiao thought for a long time before throwing these things out of his mind. That was because there were too many things that he needed to consider right now. Especially……Duanmu Yi Ren!
…………
Gods Domain headquarters.
“Yi Yi, what did you talk to Asura about?” Hand of God asked with knitted brows. Her recent appearance made him worried and he was very surprised by what happened on stage today. That was because in the way that she looked at Asura, he couldn’t see any hatred and rather a faint pleading.
“Big brother, you’ve always been good to me since we were young.” Madame Proud Moon said with a soft voice before disappearing into white light and logging off.
Hand of God gave a sigh as he started thinking of all the possibilities. All signs indicated that she was hiding something important from him.
“Aunt!”
When she came out of the gaming cabin, Duanmu Xiao’s young voice rang in her ears. Duanmu Yi Ren gave a chuckle before saying in a soft voice, “It was exactly as you said, he really agreed.”
“Of course, the hero will take the righteous path and will not treat any life lightly, so he definitely wouldn’t let the people in his heart be injured. Perhaps even he doesn’t know that he has already unconsciously regarded aunt as his person.” Although it was an innocent smile, the sharp look in his eyes made people’s hearts tremble.
She had already heard him say the same words before, so she bent over and said, “Xiao’er, you’ve never seen him, so not to mention understanding him, why are you certain that he would agree?”
Duanmu Xiao gave a laugh as he looked at her, “Because……aunt doesn’t know her own charm? There are few people that can compare to aunt, even an unfeeling and cold person definitely would unknowingly fall for aunt’s charm and wouldn’t bear to let go.”
“Moreover……” Duanmu Xiao’s smile became more mysterious, “The real him, whether in terms of appearance or power, is definitely a match for aunt.”
Duanmu Yi Ren’s face turned red. She pretended to rebuke him as she tapped his nose and then said in a soft voice, “Aunt still needs you to help her one last time.”
“I know! Tell me the time.” A confidence and intelligence that didn’t match his age appeared on his young face. This tone, this expression, it definitely shouldn’t have appeared on a three year old. But……he was Duanmu Xiao!
“He said……tomorrow at six. At the capital’s airport.”
Duanmu Yi Ren’s eyes became hazed over. Leaving the Duanmu Family and jumping into the arms of the devil, was it really a new beginning?
Other than her big brother, her sister in law, and the little emperor Duanmu Xiao that she liked the most, there was nothing here that she would miss. Walking down this ice cold path, she only became even more cold.
Her mother was the last to enter the family and had the lowest status. She had died of depression when she was five, so since then, she had become the most independent and most unnecessary person in the Duanmu Family. Her father didn’t care, her aunts and uncles ignored her, her half brothers and sisters all laughed at her, so it completely froze her heart. She didn’t know when it started, but she learned to seal herself off and use the most arrogant appearance to face everyone.
Out of all her relatives, the only one that she felt the warmth of family love from was her half brother Duanmu Wu Ji. He had become the only person that she cared about and she disdained remembering all the other brothers and sisters.
Since the beginning of «Rebirth», she could finally forget the coldness of her reality and walk in a dream like other world. She who was used to acting prideful wasn’t willing to rely on another person. So she chose to become stronger and even wanted to become first on the level ranking. Those people in the same generation as her who only knew how to play, they would waste time leveling in «Rebirth», so she would always curl her lips in disdain when she saw them. The only who worked hard with her who had established their family’s influence in «Rebirth» was the only big brother she could trust, Duanmu Wu Ji.
“Leave……That devil has taken my remaining pride and dignity, so I want him to repay me with happiness.”
…………
The top hundred drew to a close by evening and the arena that had been noisy all day finally calmed down. The top thirty two had appeared and tomorrow, the brutal and exciting elimination stage would begin! Once they were defeated in the elimination stage, they would be heartlessly eliminated and wouldn’t have a second chance.
Reading through the forums, Feng Xiao couldn’t help breaking out in laughter again. Being able to pass through the round of hundred, they were all experts among experts, people that could stand at the peak of China. Among the thirty two people were him, Feng Yao, Bao Bao, Chen Bing Er, and Xiao Tian, not one missing. Moreover, they had all won all their matches.
This meant that the people by his side were without a doubt the strongest team in all of China!
Of course, perhaps luck was also a big reason. In Feng Xiao’s careful analysis, in the matches they faced, all his companions, including himself didn’t meet anyone with powerful stats or a Hidden Job. The only one that could be considered a top expert was The Devil is Smiling that Chen Bing Er instantly killed twice. He had also made it into the round of thirty two, although his previous tragedy had become Chen Bing Er’s stepping stone to becoming famous.
After being proud for a bit, Feng Xiao clicked on a post that almost exploded. «An analysis of all the Hidden Jobs in China!»
The contents of the post surprised Feng Xiao while also filling him with praise. The one who made this post must have some extraordinary skill, or it was something……that not a single person could do alone.
Asura: This Job represents the greatest might in China. His power is recognized by all and there is no doubt of that. He has incomparably strong attacks, an impenetrable defense, and unpredictable attack methods. In Asura’s matches before, they were all instant kills, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe or react. Asura is the nightmare of all opponents and everyone should pray for those who meet him.
Feng Xiao revealed a look that thought differently. How could others know that the strength that he showed was the combination of four different Hidden Jobs.
Slaughter God: As the name describes, it is a slaughtering Job. The owner of this Job Hen Tian has the name “Cold Slaughter God”. Approaching him will make one feel a clear slaughter aura. He has never worked with anyone and is very unapproachable. He is also a favourite for the champion position and the most likely one to defeat Asura.
Absolute Death Hidden Ghost: Has a swift and powerful attack method. The owner of this is the Heavenly Demon Guild’s guild master Heavenly Demon Wind Cloud. From the past matches, it is a Job that has a terrifying attack power and an attack method like a ghost. His opponents all died without knowing what happened.
