Chapter 501, I’m Afraid He Would Shatter at a Touch

Translator: Silavin

 

Xu Jing observed the situation, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

 

As long as he could Seal Off his opponent’s Skills, they would be much easier to handle!

 

However, before his smile could fully bloom, Qin Qiu, on the opposite side, waved her staff. She gathered a ball of light above her head, clearly the precursor to her activating a Skill.

 

Instantly, not only Xu Jing, but even Jiang Fengyun was stunned.

 

Xu Jing’s Mage Silencer Skill had never failed before, and he had clearly seen the Skill land on both Qin Qiu and Tao Xiaoman, so how could they still use Skills?!

 

While Jiang Fengyun was shocked, Qin Qiu’s Skill had already been cast.

 

A beam of Holy Light shot out like a magical cannon, directly targeting Jiang Fengyun.

 

Jiang Fengyun was greatly alarmed, immediately raising his blade to resist, while black shadows frantically swayed around his body. He had casted a Defensive Skill to resist Qin Qiu’s attack.

 

*Boom!* Jiang Fengyun took Qin Qiu’s Skill head-on, as light and shadow intertwined, constantly cancelling each other out.

 

Jiang Fengyun retreated several steps, his face slightly pale, but he had still managed to withstand Qin Qiu’s attack without being injured.

 

Seeing this, Qin Qiu frowned and said, “Tao Zi, Xu Jing’s Magic Prohibition still has an effect on me. Although I can still cast Skills, my Skill Power is only half of what it should be.”

 

Tao Xiaoman shook her dishevelled hair and helplessly said. “There’s nothing we can do about that. Xu Jing’s Mana Attribute is higher than mine, so my Skill can’t completely negate his Skill’s Effects. Being able to still cast some Skills is good enough. Besides, your Damage Output is so high that even with only half its original power, you can still take them down, right?”

 

Qin Qiu shook her head helplessly and said. “Fine, I guess you’re right.”

 

The conversation between the two naturally fell upon the ears of Jiang Fengyun and his companions, shocking them greatly.

 

Especially Jiang Fengyun, who had personally experienced the power of Qin Qiu’s Skill just now. If he had not casted his Defensive Skill, he would certainly have been seriously injured by that attack.

 

To think a Skill with such power was actually only half of its original strength.

 

Without Xu Jing’s Support, just Qin Qiu alone would be enough to give him a headache!

 

[They are supposed to just be two girls that follow Lu Fan! How are they so ridiculously strong!?] Jiang Fengyun and the others felt as if their worldview was collapsing. They thought their strength was so great that apart from Jian Ying, they did not need to take anyone else seriously. But facing Qin Qiu and Tao Xiaoman, they felt immense pressure.

 

Jiang Fengyun instinctively looked towards Meng Jia nearby and was startled to notice that Meng Jia’s expression had already become quite unpleasant.

 

His heart sank, knowing that if he could not handle Qin Qiu and Tao Xiaoman, needing to also drag Jian Ying into the battle, Meng Jia would come to think they were all incompetent.

 

“Continue attacking! We are Wind Cloud Pavilion! How can we be afraid of two girls!?” Jiang Fengyun roared, his entire body instantly enveloped by black shadows, then he sank into the ground, transforming into a shadow, sneaking towards Tao Xiaoman and Qin Qiu.

 

At the same time, Xu Jing and the other three also released their Skills, launching attacks towards Tao Xiaoman and Qin Qiu.

 

The two women were not to be outdone. Even if their Skills could only exert half their effectiveness, their equipment, Levels, and Attribute advantages were clear. They were not afraid to directly clash with Jiang Fengyun and the others.

 

Seeing that Jiang Fengyun and his group were getting serious, Jian Ying silently raised a finger, and the Blood Breaker Sword was summoned, hovering beside her.

 

Now, each of Jian Ying’s five swords had been cultivated to Platinum Grade, almost becoming Diamond Grade, with extremely High Attributes.

 

Combined with the equipment that Ye Wuxian had just given to Jian Ying, if she were to strike with her Blood Breaker Sword, it would definitely be more than what Jiang Fengyun and his group could handle.

 

Seeing that Jian Ying intended to help, Lu Fan reached his hand out to stop her, smiling. “It’s fine, no need to intervene. Looking at the current situation, Qin Qiu and Tao Xiaoman won’t necessarily lose. At the very least, they definitely won’t be defeated in the short term. Think about it for a moment. Jiang Fengyun and his companions are rare opponents in Dragon Capital University. Letting Xiao Qiu and Tao Zi practice against them in an evenly matched battle will be very beneficial for them.”

 

Jian Ying glanced at Lu Fan. She believes he was right. This was just an exam, and letting Tao Xiaoman and Qin Qiu fight against Jiang Fengyun and the others was not that big of a deal.

 

So, she nodded, no longer planning to intervene.

 

But Lu Fan smiled again and said. “Come to think of it, after watching for two days, aren’t your hands itching too?”

 

As he spoke, he pointed at Meng Jia and said. “Why don’t you let him be your opponent?”

 

“You want me to deal with Meng Jia?” Jian Ying’s eyes brightened, obviously eager to test herself against a powerful opponent, to see how her own strength had improved after Levelling up and changing equipment…

 

However, she remained calm, aware of Meng Jia’s strength. “I’ve heard he can fight against Third Profession Players. I’m afraid I might not be his match. Besides, Meng Jia is indeed a good opponent. He is qualified to be a good whetstone for you, no?”

 

Lu Fan smiled and said. “It’s fine, just go all out. I’ll back you up. I guarantee our team will secure first place. As for him being my whetstone… honestly, I’m afraid he would shatter at a touch.”

 

[Meng Jia would shatter at a touch!?] Jian Ying was startled, then realized that Lu Fan’s strength must be even more terrifying than she had imagined…

 

Immediately, a sense of helplessness rose in her heart.

 

During the time Lu Fan was away from Dragon Capital University, Jian Ying had never slacked off. Among the four women, she was the most diligent in running Dungeon Instances and seeking opponents in the Arena to practice against.

 

Jian Ying just wanted to narrow the gap between herself and Lu Fan through sheer effort.

 

Yet, Jian Ying realized that no matter how hard she tried, the distance between Lu Fan and her seemed to continuously be growing ever wider.

 

As she was now, she could hardly hope to catch up to Lu Fan.

 

In her helplessness, Jian Ying could only accept fate. Smiling, she replied. “Alright then, thank you for leaving me such an interesting opponent. Since that’s the case, I won’t hold back!”

 

With that, she extended her hand again, and her Army Breaker Sword was also summoned. It flew alongside her Blood Breaker Sword, one on the left and one on the right beside her.

 

Lu Fan nodded, encouraging her. “Go ahead with confidence. I also want to see how much you have improved during this time.”

 

“En.” Jian Ying responded softly, then stepped forward.

 

The Army Breaker Sword and Blood Breaker Sword simultaneously trembled, flying forward one after another, their speed increasing rapidly, soon shooting like bullets towards Meng Jia.
