Chapter 2683 Lingering Death Penetrating Armor and Heavy Rock Kangaroo!

Liu Hong's flamboyant manner of entering had the passionate air of an adolescent. This led to many comments in the live-streaming rooms.

Liu Hong's leap brought out a happy and excited atmosphere on Star Web. They needed something entertaining to forget the stress that came with fear.

Rather than being entertained, the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, aside from Shi Xu, were more interested in the impending battle between Liu Hong and Mu Yan.

Mu Yan had worked hard to increase her power over the past year and had declined to join any guild clubs.

Liu Hong had been busy battling as a member of the Fighting Fists Guild Club's main team and had achieved many victories for them.

In order to retain Liu Hong, the Fighting Fists Guild Club even gave him 3% of shares and provided him with generous remuneration.

Liu Hong had been a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence for four years. Although he was not considered very senior, he did have a wealth of experience.

Liu Hong was very sociable and made many friends after joining the Radiance Hundred Sequence. People with similar personalities to Long Tao all got along well with Liu Hong.

Apart from battling in tournaments, Liu Hong had spent the past four years working on tasks handed out by Radiance Sacred Hall in order to accumulate points. He wanted to accumulate enough points to trade for a high-quality Bronze fey that was suitable for his Willpower Rune.

Alas, although there were such feys in Radiance Sacred Hall, they were far too expensive. Even after working and saving for four years, he still did not have enough to trade for the fey he had his eye on.

However, two months ago, Radiance Sacred Hall lowered the points required to trade for resources and offered even rarer resources for trading.

The amount of points that Liu Hong had accumulated not only allowed him to trade for Bronze/Legend fey but also for the resources that sped up its growth.

Not even Liu Hong's teammates from the Fight Fists Guild Club, with whom he spent the bulk of his time, knew that he had already swapped out his main fey.

His previous signature fey was no longer his strongest one.

In the past, he would have been rather anxious to be picked by Mu Yan. A spirit qi professional like him, who mostly contracted feys that relied on their bodies for battle, were the most afraid of taking on feys that had strong controlling abilities and could limit the movements of their opponents.

Mu Yan's Ice Vein Frozen Bats had already demonstrated curse-related abilities during the previous battle. They were usually the most difficult abilities for Liu Hong to counter in battle.

Whenever one had a flaw, one would always try one's best to fix it.

Although the new fey that Liu Hong contracted also relied on its body for combat, it was the bane of feys that had controlling and curse abilities.

Liu Hong had yet to have the chance to see this new fey in action during a real battle. Now, he finally had the chance to test it out!

Liu Hong was not very good at being secretive. Mu Yan could see the excitement and hopefulness on his face.

Mu Yan's chest tightened, but she quickly adjusted her mindset.

If she lost to Liu Hong now, it was very unlikely that she would be able to hold on to a place in the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

If that truly happened, when it came to the third match, Mu Yan would not pick an opponent she would try to defeat. Rather, she would challenge Lin Yuan.

This was so she could see how large the gap was between her and her idol, and it was also a means for her to act on her urges as a fan!

With such thoughts in mind, Mu Yan summoned the two Ice Vein Frozen Bats before summoning the Hot Ice Boiling Mouse as well.

She instructed the Hot Ice Boiling Mouse to release ice-elemental energy and form a circle of boiling hot ice around her as a means of defending against close-quarter combat.

Liu Hong let out a shout of excitement when she saw Mu Yan summoning her feys and preparing to attack him.

He lifted up a hand and released a mighty kangaroo that was almost two meters tall and had bulging muscles. Its entire body was gray and brown, and its tightly knotted muscles were pulsing with powerful earth-elemental energy.

The earth-elemental energy was not released. Rather, it was stored within the muscles and formed a dark brown membrane on the kangaroo's skin.

The membrane of earth-elemental energy significantly raised the Heavy Rock Kangaroo's power and allowed it to take down a small hill with one punch!

After releasing the Heavy Rock Kangaroo, Liu Hong released a small creature that was less than half a meter tall and covered with thick and sharp armor pieces. This was Liu Hong's other signature fey, the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor.

When the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor moved around at high speeds, its scales would shift randomly. Its sharp scales could cut almost anything that it came into contact with. As a result, when the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor fought, it had a strange beauty of untamed violence.

There were very few teams who liked encountering Fighting Fists Guild Club in offline guild club battles. Unless it was an important tournament, most guild clubs preferred to preserve the safety of their main team's feys and send their second team to take on the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor instead. Some would even choose to back out of the tournament altogether.

If the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor fought with all of its force, its opponent fey's flesh would be reduced to filet pieces. Even with a capable medical team treating it, it would take around a month for the fey to recover.

But more importantly, just like spirit qi professionals, feys were also living creatures. When they suffered pain and injury, they were left with trauma.

After suffering such serious injuries, there was a high chance that the fey's enthusiasm in future battles would be lowered. It might even start to fear fighting.

A few of Liu Hong's opponents had experienced this after battling him.

The Heavy Rock Kangaroo did not begin throwing fists wildly. Meanwhile, the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor had already charged towards Mu Yan.

The Lingering Death Penetrating Armor curled itself up into a ball, and the armored pieces on its back let out grinding noises as they rubbed together.

Mu Yan had already mentally prepared herself to lose and had composed her mental state.

She calmly instructed the two Ice Vein Frozen Bats to release cold aura and begin splitting up. Then, with the two original Ice Vein Frozen Bats included, she instructed the six Ice Vein Frozen Bats to use Frozen Shadow Collision on the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor.

Six dark blue bats slammed into the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor's body and substantially slowed down its movement. The Lingering Death Penetrating Armor's speed was thereby reduced at least by half.

This was just the beginning of the six dark blue bats' attack. They continued swooping down toward the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor until a thick layer of snow was formed on its body.

The Lingering Death Penetrating Armor was now even slower than a Silver fey!

The Ice Vein Frozen Bats' ability Frozen Shadow Collision did not just have speed-reducing effects. When the ability made contact with the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor's body, it began freezing from the inside out.

Liu Hong had already anticipated that the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor's movements would be constrained by the two Ice Vein Frozen Bats.

Due to the lack of cold aura present to replenish the Ice Vein Frozen Bats, the advantage that came from their ability to continuously divide themselves had been sealed away! Now, the Ice Vein Frozen Bats were using the energy in their own bodies to split up because Mu Yan wanted to handle and control the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor as soon as possible.

The Ice Vein Frozen Bats had used up a significant amount of their energy to forcefully split themselves up. Moreover, Mu Yan was also using the mouse to create an area of hot ice.

Liu Hong had yet to use much energy, but Mu Yan had already spent a large amount. It would not be long before he gained the upper hand.

Liu Hong had never employed cunning ploys during battle. There were times when obvious plans were more effective than hidden tricks.

Taking this situation as an example, Mu Yan clearly knew that trying to limit the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor's movements would cost her a lot of energy. Yet, she had no other choice!

The Heavy Rock Kangaroo's iron fists would come after the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor.

The reverberations from a few slams of the Heavy Rock Kangaroo's Gold Breaking Tremors would cause the target's vessels to snap.

Once this crippling ability hit a target, the target's body would be damaged.

Liu Hong had already anticipated that Mu Yan would use the two Ice Vein Frozen Bats to restrain the Heavy Rock Kangaroo. They would place curses on the Heavy Rock Kangaroo to lower its combat ability.

Even someone like Liu Hong, who usually did not take things seriously, would not reveal his secret weapons if he could help it.

But if he wanted to win this battle against Mu Yan, there was no way he could hide his secret weapons.

After understanding this, Liu Hong began using the Heavy Rock Kangaroo and Lingering Death Penetrating Armor as targets. This would attract more attacks and cause his opponent to use up more of her energy.

Mu Yan could not allow the Heavy Rock Kangaroo to get within 20 meters of her. The Ice Vein Frozen Bats could dodge the Heavy Rock Kangaroo's attacks. All they needed to do was fly into the air, and the Heavy Rock Kangaroo would not be able to touch them. However, Mu Yan could not do the same.

The defensive area that the Hot Ice Boiling Mouse had built around Mu Yan would not be enough to withstand the Hot Ice Boiling Mouse's attacks.

Although the Heavy Rock Kangaroo would suffer serious injuries after entering this area, it would still be able to kill Mu Yan.

Mu Yan instructed the Ice Vein Frozen Bats to use Frozen Shadow Collision again. At the same time, they used Ice Shadow Teeth continuously on the Heavy Rock Kangaroo.

Under the curse effects of Ice Shadow Teeth, the Heavy Rock Kangaroo began aging, and the strength of its body fell substantially.

The two Ice Vein Frozen Bats were also absorbing the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor's vitality and intended to use the vitality to generate cold aura and replenish their energy.

They had used up almost all of the energy in their bodies to take control of the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor and Heavy Rock Kangaroo.

Liu Hong realized this and took the opportunity to summon a round and chubby white seal.

The white seal crawled on the ground before raising up half of its body. It used its short and tough fins to slap its stomach.

Two beams of light shot out and landed on the Lingering Death Penetrating Armor and Heavy Rock Kangaroo's body. The cold aura was absorbed through the two lines of white light and absorbed into the fat seal's body, taking with it the aging curse that was afflicting the Heavy Rock Kangaroo.

After taking on so many negative effects and curses, the fat seal splayed out in pain on the ground.

The member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence sitting next to Lin Yuan said, "Silly Liu Hong, who only knows how to charge ahead, has contracted a defense-type fey! It sucked away the negative effects inflicted on his two main feys. Unless Mu Yan has something else up her sleeve, it looks like the winner of this battle is settled!"

Lin Yuan shook his head. There was no way Mu Yan was holding anything back. If she did, she would have already used it in her battle with Wu Ting!

Lin Yuan was all but certain that there was no way the direction of this battle would be changing.

Mu Yan was not weak. She had only lost twice because she was not the only one who had worked hard this past year. The others had done the same. All of them were hiding even more secret weapons than they used to!

When Mu Yan saw Liu Hong summon a fey that was unknown to her and this fey had instantly released the Heavy Rock Kangaroo and Lingering Death Penetrating Armor from her control, she knew that she had lost this battle.

Nonetheless, she did not resign herself to defeat. Instead, she continued using the Ice Vein Frozen Bats and Hot Ice Boiling Mouse to continue fighting back bravely. Eventually, they were killed by one of the Heavy Rock Kangaroo's punches.

The entire battle lasted less than three minutes. But in those three minutes, the entire audience had been riled up.

Although Mu Yan had lost, she had put up a commendable performance and demonstrated outstanding fighting spirit.

The Radiance Federation's royalty did not turn up to watch live but were silently spectating from the Royal Capital.

Night Leaning Moon said with marvel in her voice, "Mu Yan is a good prospect. But I don't think she will be able to stay in the Radiance Hundred Sequence! The Spirit Guards have been trying to cultivate top talents this past year. I am going to personally recruit Mu Yan later.

"The departments the rest of you manage also need to be supported by top talents. The people eliminated by Liu Wencheng can become prime candidates for our selection. But none of you better compete with me for the ones I have my eye on!"

Cicada Song shot Night Leaning Moon a look of exasperation.

The most important resources for the dead spirits crisis were finances and infrastructure. They already had sufficient troops. Who was going to fight with Night Leaning Moon over manpower now?

The dead spirits crisis' threat on the main world had been dampened, but the Spirit Guards were still very important for defense.

The talents in the Radiance Federation were all selected and recruited by the Spirit Guards. Even the City Guards Cicada Song chose were also talents that were left over once the Spirit Guards had been chosen.

Just as Night Leaning Moon said, it was unlikely that Mu Yan had sufficient power to keep a spot in the Radiance Hundred Sequence. But if she was noticed by Night Leaning Moon and was employed as a Spirit Guard, it would also be a good opportunity for her!

The Moon Empress and Lin Yuan had provided a mountain of resources to the Radiance Hundred Sequence. However, they had also provided just as much resources to the Spirit Guards.

Based on what the Moon Empress said, she would be supplying even more resources to the Spirit Guards in the future to enable them to better defend against the dead spirits.

The rewards for the troops defending against the dead spirits had only just been settled. It had yet to be announced. Once the announcement was made, it was likely that many of the current members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would also try to come up with a way to join the Spirit Guards!
