Chapter 1 The Ginger Warrior

Jiang Jingwei's red hair danced wildly without wind, spreading out like seaweed, with granular fire elements floating between the fiery red strands.

A spherical qi boundary enveloped her body, the outer layer composed of rapidly moving and colliding crimson particles, the inner layer of distorted air.

At this moment, Jiang Jingwei was like a different person, transformed from a boisterous, combative girl into a goddess who controlled flames, majestic and violent.

"Ka-cha, ka-cha..."

Her bent forearm straightened, and the vengeful spirit on her shoulder emitted a shrill scream, seemingly scorched to some extent, yet it remained tightly缠绕 around the girl's body, continuously extracting her life essence.

Devoting everything to their master's commands was the most basic quality of a spirit servant. "The Enraged, worthy of being a Fire Master of the purest bloodline." Zhao Chenghuang's haughty face finally revealed a trace of solemnity.

Clearly, he knew the reason for Jiang Jingwei's sudden outburst.

"I'll get rid of this troublesome Yin corpse first, then have a good fight with you." Jiang Jingwei grinned at Zhao Chenghuang.

Without waiting for Zhao Chenghuang to respond, she lowered her knees and transformed into a streak of flowing flame, crashing into the Yin corpse's embrace.

"Bang!"

In the fiery explosion, she pushed the Yin corpse all the way, the explosions continuing throughout. Jiang Jingwei was like a firecracker, pushing the Yin corpse towards the edge of the magma, away from Zhao Chenghuang.

Then, she grabbed the Yin corpse's ankles with both hands, swung it into the air, and slammed it down. The Yin corpse crashed heavily into the magma, splashing large patches of bright浆water, and Jiang Jingwei plunged into the magma as well, holding down the Yin corpse's head as it tried to leap out, forcing it back into the "pool."

At this time, Zhao Chenghuang was at the other end of the magma pool, tens of meters away, unable to stop her.

Zhao Chenghuang made a decisive decision, calmed his emotions, closed his eyes, and remained still.

He would personally control the Yin corpse to engage Jiang Jingwei in a battle at the bottom of the pool.

The spectating Xingzhe stepped forward, approaching the crater and looking down.

They saw a large number of bubbles rising from the magma, with constant bubbling sounds, and streams of "dark currents" rolling upwards, the smell of sulfur even stronger.

The battle inside the magma seemed intense, but unfortunately, no one could see it.

While Zhang Yuanqing watched the magma, he listened to Guan Ya beside him say:

"I've heard elders in my clan say that the core ability of a Saint-level Fire Master is to stimulate potential. Impatience, recklessness, and impulsiveness are their shortcomings, but in the Saint stage, they become advantages.

"The Enraged are like explosives, detonating at the slightest touch, able to unleash potential at any time, which other professions cannot do.

"Jiang Jingwei has the purest Fire Master bloodline in the world. Although she hasn't reached the Saint level, she can easily unleash the power hidden in her bloodline when in a desperate situation."

"I see!"

Zhang Yuanqing nodded. Unleashing combat power comparable to a Saint with a Transcendent body, Jiang Jingwei's talent and bloodline were truly enviable.

In that case, dealing with the Level 4 Yin corpse shouldn't be a big problem, after all, it's just a Yin corpse, not a real Fire Master.

Without the Yin corpse, he wondered how Zhao Chenghuang would cope.

It should be known that the Yin corpse was Zhao Chenghuang's important asset in ranking first on the list.

As thoughts raced through his mind, the magma surged with a "哗啦" sound, and Jiang Jingwei leaped out of the scalding "liquid," carrying the Yin corpse with its limbs bent.

A wave of clamor erupted from the crater, and discussions arose.

Jiang Jingwei was ranked sixth on the top twenty list, yet she defeated Zhao Chenghuang's Yin corpse, a result that exceeded many people's expectations.

With this strength, she should be able to squeeze into the top three.

"Little Princess is amazing!"

"Long live Little Princess!"

A small group of people shouted particularly loudly, led by a red-haired young man with his arms crossed, his face full of pride. The henchmen behind him cheered and applauded loudly.

These Fire Masters were like two 张元清 moved his gaze, looking into the distance, wanting to see the response from the Taiyi Sect, but he was surprised to find that the group was unusually calm.

Inside the arena, Jiang Jingwei casually threw the Yin corpse on a pillar, laughing wildly with her hands on her hips:

"So exhilarating, it's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight."

Zhao Chenghuang opened his eyes, not looking at the Yin corpse whose limbs had been crippled. This loss was within his control. After the battle, he could nurture the Yin corpse with太阴power, and it would be restored in ten or fifteen days.

He frowned, looking at Jiang Jingwei, and said:

"You can't maintain this state for long. Why didn't you use道具just now, and instead chose to go to such an extreme?"

Zhao Chenghuang was puzzled by her actions. It was true that Fire Masters had no means to restrain灵体, but what was Jiang Jingwei's identity?

She was an even more noble figure with an even deeper background than him, and it would be easy to equip herself with道具that restrained灵体.

"Why use道具? That would be boring." Jiang Jingwei put her hands on her hips again and said, "I'm here to fight. If I'm going to beat you, I'll beat you fair and square."

A look of obvious surprise flashed across Zhao Chenghuang's cold face. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:

"Alright, then I won't use 道具 either!

With that, he put away the small clay figure he was holding in his palm. "I'll rely on the power of the Night Wanderer to defeat you."

Zhao Chenghuang opened his mouth and inhaled, and the vengeful spirit that had been clinging to Jiang Jingwei's shoulder, extracting her life essence, instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke, fluttered娜娜 and plunged into his mouth.

As the spirit servant entered his mouth, Zhao Chenghuang's eyes immediately burst with bloodshot veins, his pupils trembled violently, and blue veins bulged on his forehead, his face distorted, seemingly in extreme pain.

"Ugh, ah, ah..."

He crouched over, emitting a painful roar.

His body suddenly grew taller, chunks of muscles swelled with blood, his skin turned青 black, reflecting a metallic luster, and his fingernails grew rapidly, turning into dark, sharp ghost claws.

In a matter of seconds, Zhao Chenghuang transformed into a ghost creature, his body exuding black Qi, his skin青black, with dark ghost claws, and his eyes covered in bloodshot veins.

His aura was阴寒and powerful, and the pillar he stood on was covered with a layer of white frost, which spread downwards. The scalding magma quickly cooled, turning into cracked black浮土.

Zhang Yuanqing, watching from above, his pupils contracted, deeply shocked.

A shock that only Night Wanderers could comprehend.

At this moment, Zhao Chenghuang unleashed an aura that surpassed the limits of the Transcendent realm, without using道具, but relying on himself to surpass the Transcendent stage.

The method was simple: actively stimulate the太阴power within his body, causing it to lose control and become狂暴, thereby producing a effect like烈火cooking oil.

Zhang Yuanqing himself had encountered a similar situation, which was when he was "stared" at by the Demon Eye Heavenly King. The太阴power had almost lost control, corroding his本体, and his body was transforming into an阴物.

Just like Zhao Chenghuang now.

What is he doing? This is no longer dancing on the tip of a knife, but shitting on the阎王table. Zhang Yuanqing's face was full of disbelief. Could it be that Zhao Chenghuang was a cold and傲夜Wanderer on the outside, but in reality, he was a粗鲁and brainless Fire Master?

Amidst the shock, a piece of information suddenly flashed in his mind: Zhao Chenghuang deliberately remained in the Transcendent stage, delaying his advancement to Saint.

This was the remark given by the official scholars on the list of the top twenty.

"Like the Earth God, he deliberately stayed in the Transcendent stage, repeatedly honing a certain ability. The Earth God is invincible in defense, while he has reached the peak of his control over太阴power?"

As expected, the top three were not simple people, each of them a变态…… After understanding this, he sighed silently in his heart.

"Oh? You can unleash your potential like me?"

Jiang Jingwei seemed surprised, but also excited.

"You can understand it that way. Anyway, you wouldn't understand too complex explanations." Zhao Chenghuang's voice became hoarse and阴沉.

The two charged towards each other at the same time, two streaks of black and red colliding in the center of the magma, then separating and colliding again.

Their speed was extremely fast, red and black lines窜all over the place, ramming and撞, sometimes colliding in corners, sometimes colliding in the center, like two irregularly moving bullets.

Each collision was a muffled thunderous explosion, sending towering magma into the air.

Zhang Yuanqing had to put on his Seer glasses to finally see the actions of the two. Their collisions were蛮横and lacked skill, separating as soon as they touched, leaving焦black scorched marks and入骨claw marks on each other's bodies.

The crude fighting style of venting violence was unique to Fire Masters. He could understand Jiang Jingwei's actions, but Zhao Chenghuang shouldn't be like this.

It seemed that the price of losing control of太阴power was the inability to skillfully use Night Wanderer skills.

In one交锋after another, Jiang Jingwei was covered in wounds. On the other hand, Zhao Chenghuang was repeatedly burned by the fire, his bones broken repeatedly, but his powerful self-healing ability quickly repaired the injuries, making his endurance incredibly strong.

Amidst the fierce battle, the surface of the endlessly rippling magma suddenly bulged, and then with a "哗啦" sound, a large lizard covered in red scales emerged from the浆.

This lizard was huge, half its body protruding from the magma, reaching a height of seven or eight meters.

Its amber竖童 flashed with violence. With its腮帮bulging, it喷吐red magma towards the激fighting Zhao Chenghuang and Jiang Jingwei.

The magma was as dense as rain, unavoidable. Zhao Chenghuang's body emitted嗤嗤white gas, and large patches of his青black skin carbonized.

And Jiang Jingwei, whose aura had been declining, seemed to be reinvigorated by this. The magma pouring towards her decomposed into暗red particles,融入into the Qi boundary that enveloped her body.

Her aura skyrocketed.

"Boom!" Flames exploded from Jiang Jingwei's body, penetrating the magma pouring down on her head, and with滔天flames, she slammed a fist towards Zhao Chenghuang.

Before the "Enraged" state ended, she would fight to the death!

Zhao Chenghuang didn't dodge or avoid, his face cold, and he刺forward with his palm like a knife. "Ka-cha!"

A hook punch landed on Zhao Chenghuang's cheek, instantly snapping his neck, his head twisting one hundred and eighty degrees to look at his back.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Jingwei also "crashed" herself into Zhao Chenghuang's hand刀, and dark fingernails刺out from behind.

Exhausted, Jiang Jingwei crashed down.

Zhao Chenghuang straightened his head a little at a time, slumped on the ground, panting heavily. The big lizard that had been protruding from the magma, with its腮帮bulging, was about to喷吐a second wave of magma.

The host of this competition, the red-haired elder who looked like a young man, shouted loudly:

"Zhao Chenghuang wins!"

The lizard sensibly swallowed the magma back into its throat, snorted, and silently retreated into the interior of the volcano.

The red-haired elder picked up the seriously injured and unconscious Jiang Jingwei and returned to the crater for treatment. Elder Hongying of the Taiyi Sect吐out a mouthful of阴Qi, rolled up the Yin corpse and Zhao Chenghuang,卷back to his side, and handed them over to his sect disciples for treatment.

A deafening sound wave immediately rang out, and the scene exploded.

"Are they really at the Transcendent stage? Too strong, too exciting, this is the strongest duel since the擂台賽began."

"Jiang Jingwei's ranking is too low. This girl is simply terrifying. How can she unleash such a powerful force, almost defeating Zhao Chenghuang."

"This also proves from the side that Zhao Chenghuang is really strong. What was that move he used just now? I have never seen the Night Wanderers of the Taiyi Sect use it."

The noisy discussions continued for a long time. This battle was too unexpected, giving the Transcendent Xingzhe a great shock.

In the first five days of the competition, although everyone was impressed by the strength of the star players,感慨their step-by-step calculations, and感慨their many道具, all of this was within acceptable limits.

Their strength could be understood.

But the combat power shown by Jiang Jingwei and Zhao Chenghuang just now was incomprehensible. Was this the power that should be possessed at the Transcendent stage?

In the next two groups of duels, Sun Miaomiao and the Tone-deaf Queen lived up to expectations and defeated their opponents, successfully squeezing into the top eight.

The Red Fire Gang elder with the image of a red-haired young man shouted loudly:

"The fourth group of players enters the arena."

The audience at the crater brightened their spirits, the second battle worth looking forward to today was coming.

The tenth-ranked Crossing River Pawn versus Yuan Shi Tianzun.

The former was known as Little Qingyang, and the latter defeated the highly famous Maoshan术士on the first day of the 擂台賽.

With Jiang Jingwei and Zhao Chenghuang's jade ahead, the audience's national value increased, and they didn't know what surprises Yuan Shi Tianzun and Crossing River Pawn could bring them.

"There should be no suspense in this battle, right? Yuan Shi Tianzun will definitely win. Crossing River Pawn is a scout, and even the strongest scout in the Transcendent stage is limited, with too many shortcomings."

"Not necessarily, Crossing River Pawn must be prepared, and neither of them are Fire Masters, so the scene crisis must also be considered."

"Looking forward to this battle of the dragons and tigers. Jiang Jingwei and Zhao Chenghuang fought too exaggeratedly. Strong is strong, but there is no technical content. Yuan Shi Tianzun and Crossing River Pawn are both types with very strong微操."

In the期待eyes of the crowd, Zhang Yuanqing entered the arena with the Yin corpse. On the other side, the Crossing River Pawn, wearing藤甲and camouflage military pants, jumped down and landed steadily on the stone pillar.

The two looked at each other across twenty or thirty meters and nodded.

"The game starts!"

As soon as the red-haired elder announced, Zhang Yuanqing and Crossing River Pawn drew their guns at the same time.

"Bang!"

Crossing River Pawn pulled the trigger, but Zhang Yuanqing's muzzle failed to fire a bullet. It wasn't the gun that had a problem, it was him. At the moment when Crossing River Pawn raised his gun and aimed, Zhang Yuanqing felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. This sense of crisis forced him to stop shooting and dodge.

But he had a feeling that no matter whether he went left or right, he would definitely be hit, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

In a brief hesitation, Crossing River Pawn's bullet came.

As expected, no one can shoot against Crossing River Pawn, Yuan Shi Tianzun can't either… Seeing this scene, the audience above was already used to it.

No matter who the opponent is, Crossing River Pawn's classic opening is firepower suppression.

The bullet hit the tall figure of "亡者一号" and was blocked by the tough and full muscles.

Since he couldn't dodge, then he wouldn't dodge!

Zhang Yuanqing reached out from behind the Yin corpse, aimed at the Crossing River Pawn twenty or thirty meters away, and pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang… The dark red trajectory drew parallel lines, forming a弹幕that enveloped the enemy. Crossing River Pawn had already洞察Zhang Yuanqing's shooting angle. When he raised his gun, he lowered his body and冲out to the side.

哒哒哒 Crossing River Pawn leaped quickly between the stone pillars,绕to the side, and raised his gun to shoot.

Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly switched angles and绕to the side of the Yin corpse.

The bullet was blocked by the Yin corpse's body again. 亡者一号absorbed the materials of the Earth Monster profession, his skin was extremely tough, and he had no pain, making him an excellent shield.

Taking advantage of Yuan Shi Tianzun's dodging, Crossing River Pawn put away his pistol, his leg muscles膨胀, and he狂奔among the stone pillars like an agile leopard.

Using the Yin corpse as cover, Zhang Yuanqing reached out his arm again and fired.

Bang, bang, bang...

Crossing River Pawn didn't dodge like last time,冲forward against the bullets, and a cloud of fire exploded on his藤甲.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing decisively moved away from the Yin corpse and issued a command to engage the enemy. 亡者一号's eyes flashed fiercely. He屈his legs and弹out, leaping high into the air. His right knee弹動and his whip leg snapped out with a "啪".

Crossing River Pawn seemed to have expected his action. Without stopping, he lowered his head, avoided the whip leg, and his shoulder happened to hit the Yin corpse's胯.

Taking advantage of the momentum of the leap, Crossing River Pawn pushed hard with both shoulders, throwing the Yin corpse far away. He took advantage of the momentum to fall, standing on the stone pillar where the Yin corpse had stood.

Crossing River Pawn didn't look at the Yin corpse that had been thrown high into the air. He spun his feet, changed direction, and扑towards Yuan Shi Tianzun, who was two pillars away.

Zhang Yuanqing calmly fired.

In mid-air, Crossing River Pawn had nowhere to hide, and the爆裂bullets exploded in front of his chest again.

His defense道具can't be broken… Zhang Yuanqing decisively entered Night Wandering. His body was just "erased" when the岩浆below him made a "轰" sound,掀起bright waves, and喷吐fierce flames.

Under the indiscriminate coverage attack, Zhang Yuanqing was blown out.

At this time, the airborne Crossing River Pawn happened to land on the same stone pillar as Zhang Yuanqing.

"Yuan Shi Tianzun has been approached."

"What a coincidence, just as the flames erupted, he has bad luck."

"This is not a coincidence. Crossing River Pawn is calculating the time. Everything is within his expectation. He is truly worthy of being Little Qingyang."

The audience above let out low exclamations. From the擂台賽to now, every player who has been approached by Crossing River Pawn has been unable to escape the fate of a惨defeat.

Guan Ya, Xie Lingxi, Queen, and others, as well as those who favored Yuan Shi Tianzun, were immediately on edge.

Even Zhao Chenghuang, who had been closing his eyes to rest and concentrating on recovery, opened his eyes at this time and began to pay attention to the direction of the battle.

At this time, Crossing River Pawn suddenly felt a coolness on his shoulder.

Spirit servant… He kicked in the direction where Yuan Shi Tianzun was escaping, hitting his shoulder, and then, Crossing River Pawn took out a horn and呜呜blew it.

The角sound was悲壮and苍凉, containing the killing Qi and戾Qi of the battlefield.

The coolness on his shoulder disappeared instantly, and the spirit servant retreated

This horn was a道具of the scout profession. The 角sound had the effect of deterring enemies and exorcising evil spirits.

Its master was Crossing River Pawn's superior, a swordsman.

Kicked, Zhang Yuanqing, who had just stood firm, heard the苍凉horn, and felt a chill in his heart, and an unspeakable fear and timidity rose in his heart.

Seizing the opportunity, Crossing River Pawn put away the horn, strode two steps, and his right knee顶towards Yuan Shi Tianzun's abdomen.

Zhang Yuanqing once again felt the sense of crisis that he couldn't dodge no matter what. This time, he was not affected by his mindset, and without hesitation, he側to the left.

Peng!

His abdomen was in severe pain, and his internal organs were churning. He really couldn't dodge it.

After the knee strike, Crossing River Pawn took back his foot,旋身, and punched out a凶猛elbow strike. His style was熟练to punch and kick, knee strike, elbow strike and other basic actions, without complicated routines, pursuing the most practical and efficient way to defeat the enemy, with consecutive strikes, fierce and sharp.

Cooperating with specialized洞察skills, he could anticipate the enemy's moves and牢press down on his opponent. Punches, kicks, elbows, and knees landed again and again on Zhang Yuanqing's chest, throat, and even his裆, because he knew that Night Wanderers had strong vitality, so he fought without any scruples.

Zhang Yuanqing tried several times to borrow force and摔down into the magma, but he was also pulled back by Crossing River Pawn and continued to beat him.

Terrible melee ability, this was a fighting master that even Guan Ya had to be wary of. "Drink!"

Crossing River Pawn roared, his waist盘sunk, and his leg muscles撑upturned his trousers,导all the strength of his body into his right arm. His fist扑out like a poisonous snake and heavily捶on Yuan Shi Tianzun's throat.

His Adam's apple shattered in response, and the seriously injured Yuan Shi Tianzun's head勐was raised and fell backward.

But then he was grabbed by the arm by Crossing River Pawn and带back.

"You underestimated me. To deal with me, you should have used all your strength from the beginning, using all your道具, because as long as I get close, you will undoubtedly lose."

Crossing River Pawn looked at Yuan Shi Tianzun, who was falling towards him, summoned his pistol, held the muzzle against his abdomen, and decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang!

The sound of gunfire sounded as if it was also ringing in the ears of the audience, and it was silent all around. Many people were frightened by Crossing River Pawn's brutal melee ability.

This battle didn't last more than a minute from start to finish, because the flames had喷发twice, and the third time hadn't come yet.

The monsters under the magma didn't appear either.

It was an upset.

Crossing River Pawn, who was ranked lower than the Maoshan术士, actually defeated Yuan Shi Tianzun.

And he won so quickly.

I have to say that players who take some kind of specialization, as long as they seize the opportunity. As long as they make full preparations, they can indeed unleash unexpected power.

Crossing River Pawn quickly emptied his magazine, while frowning slightly, a doubt flashed in his heart: Why hasn't the referee called a stop yet?

Just as this doubt arose from the bottom of his heart, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, and a shiny, sharp knife刺out from between his breasts.

Crossing River Pawn looked down at the sharp knife in front of his chest, slowly and stiffly扭turned his head.

He also saw a Yuan Shi Tianzun, standing behind him.

"You lost!"

The voice of Yuan Shi Tianzun came from his ear.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't use the scarecrow in this game, nor did he use the thug gauntlets.道具were not good to use all at once. With a complete plan, using the right道具according to the progress of the plan was the right way to do it.

The core of this combat plan was "镜花水月", so the opening was to show weakness,主动to give the opponent an unobvious flaw, and when he thought he had a sure win, he would strike a fatal blow.

Crossing River Pawn was a player who specialized in洞察, and belonged to a type with serious partiality. Once this type of player seizes the opportunity, they will unleash their full output and will never dare to缠斗.

Because there were too many shortcomings, and delaying time meant giving the enemy a chance.

So Zhang Yuanqing was sure that as long as he sold an unobvious flaw, Crossing River Pawn would definitely take the bait.

As expected.

"You… …"

"From the beginning, what you were dealing with was not my true body."

Crossing River Pawn opened his mouth, and although anger and confusion flashed in his eyes, he finally chose to remain silent.

Winner is king, there was nothing to say, he covered his bleeding chest and委顿on the ground in pain.

At this time, Crossing River Pawn saw that Yuan Shi Tianzun, who had been fired by himself a number of times, was like the moon's reflection in the water, distorted for a while, and then dissipated.

The red-haired elder announced: "Yuan Shi Tianzun wins!"
