Free Web NovelChapter 254: Chapter 160: The Shame of Defeat 3
’Not her real body?’
’That’s not right... It’s like some kind of Void Creature.’
Xu Zhou instantly fled far, far away!
’This Assassin’s pursuit is terrifying!’
WHOOSH—
But there was no chance to catch his breath.
In the very next second, Leng Qingying was in his face again, her Dagger already piercing through his body!
But this time, as the Dagger passed through his body—
PFFT!
A black chain also pierced through Leng Qingying’s body.
SHING!
But the body that was pierced vanished ethereally. It was still an Illusion.
Xu Zhou realized a horrifying truth: even now, he still couldn’t tell where her real body was.
Or rather...
’...has her real body even joined the fight from the very beginning?’
His abdomen was pierced again, and this strike was laced with a potent toxin!
Xu Zhou retreated once more, unleashing No Chanting Magic in all directions!
BOOM!
The Void trembled!
He shattered the Illusions attacking him from every side!
But after the shockwave, the very Illusions he had just destroyed immediately reformed around him and charged again!
’I have to use a large-scale Magic!’
"Void of caprice, the long-heralded oblivion..."
A slit to the throat!
SHINK!
Once again, without any warning, he didn’t even notice how she appeared before a Dagger was already slicing across his throat.
A single strike, slitting his throat.
The rest of his Chanting was torn asunder by the Dagger’s slice.
His Chanting was interrupted.
In fact, a normal Mage would have died from having their throat slit like that.
Xu Zhou felt the toxin seep into his body. Having been cut so many times by Leng Qingying, he was now covered in wounds.
But in the end, Xu Zhou still managed to swing his Magic Staff!
BOOM! A purplish-black fissure opened up from the ground! A wave of the same color erupted toward the sky!
Void Eruption
This was a massive attack, covering a radius of eight hundred meters.
It could be considered an army-annihilating Magic, capable of wiping out a vast number of troops in a legion!
But...
Leng Qingying, however, stood calmly at the very edge of the Magic’s range, her presence almost nonexistent.
’Idiot...’
’It’s not like I’m a stationary target.’
’How could you possibly hit me by just aiming at a random spot?’
In the sky, the Illusions continued to pursue and attack Xu Zhou.
Meanwhile, Leng Qingying remained on the ground, walking slowly, step by step. Xu Zhou had no idea where she really was.
He had even less of an idea where he should aim his Magic to hit this damn Assassin.
PFFT!
A final slash sank into Xu Zhou’s head.
Xu Zhou’s body fell from the sky.
Leng Qingying had finally won.
Defeated once more, Xu Zhou’s injuries healed, and he rose gloomily from the ground.
’Wait a minute...’
’When my brother was wiping the floor with you just now, I didn’t see you being this fierce.’
Watching the person his good brother had just thrashed turn around and thrash him, Xu Zhou was feeling anything but calm.
’Besides, isn’t she just a little girl from the Human Race?’ freewebnoveℓ.com
’No, seriously, when did the Human Race get so strong?’
’I’m a renowned, top-tier genius of the great Void Race, praised and admired by all, and I’m supposed to get thrashed every time I meet someone from the Human Race?’
Leng Qingying had given Xu Zhou a thorough beating.
Her mood improved considerably.
She had also finally regained some of her confidence.
’So, it turns out I’m not that weak... it’s just that guy Lu Cang is too strong.’
Her battle with Lu Cang moments ago had made Leng Qingying think she had become so weak she couldn’t beat anyone.
’This ugly fellow, Xu Zhou, calls Lu Cang his brother and supposedly discusses the Root Source with him.’
’Leng Qingying had thought he was a Mage on the same level as Lu Cang.’
’Looking at him now, he’s just average...’
’Looks like geniuses in Magic aren’t a dime a dozen after all.’
’So have geniuses from the Human Race really become a dime a dozen?’
Different thoughts flashed through their minds.
After that, Xu Zhou and Leng Qingying sparred three more times.
He was still completely dominated every single time.
The main reason was...
Xu Zhou’s Magic didn’t have a large enough range, and his Casting frequency wasn’t high enough.
In less than half a second, Leng Qingying could continuously summon eight Illusions.
And Xu Zhou didn’t have the ability to instantly kill all eight of Leng Qingying’s Illusions at once.
Moreover, his Perception Ability wasn’t strong enough to locate Leng Qingying’s real body.
He couldn’t even force out Leng Qingying’s "Killing Technique."
He just got beaten black and blue.
Defeated again and again.
"Lu Cang, your friend is too weak. I can’t gain any insight from fighting him..."
After the fight, Leng Qingying said to Lu Cang, right in front of Xu Zhou.
Xu Zhou cursed inwardly but didn’t dare say anything out loud.
’Seriously, did you two plan this out today just to humiliate me?’
Leng Qingying’s arrogant comment earned her another one-on-one fight with Lu Cang.
Then, to his great satisfaction, Xu Zhou watched as the incredibly arrogant Leng Qingying was completely dominated by Lu Cang, ending in a humiliating defeat.
By the end of the match, Leng Qingying was kneeling on the ground, almost in tears.
The battle ended.
Lu Cang left her with a single, indifferent remark: "You’re about on his level..."
"I think your Speed is a bit too slow. Why don’t you try to find a way to increase it?"
Leng Qingying fell silent.
’But...’
’When it comes to Speed, I’m already the fastest in the entire Assassin Academy.’
’And Speed has always been the advantage I was most proud of.’
’To end up with an evaluation like that...’
Xu Zhou came down from the spectator area and commented to Leng Qingying in a sincere, heartfelt tone, "If you’re weak, you just need to practice more."
’You ugly thing!’
’Like hell I need a comment from someone I just beat!’
"Brother... I’ve learned quite a bit of new Void Magic recently. Although my Magic skills are no match for yours, I’ve had some new insights that we might be able to share."
Lu Cang smiled. "Of course. I’ve also had some new understanding of the Root Source lately and have created quite a few interesting new Magic spells myself."
"Since we have the chance today, it’s a good time to exchange some ideas."
They were originally supposed to be sparring with her, but in the end, these two Root Mages just sat down on the spot and started chatting.
Leng Qingying’s day ended in a humiliating defeat...
In the end, indignant and resentful, Leng Qingying chose to go play ranked matches by herself.
