Chapter 355: Strange and Colorful! Realm of Reincarnation
"Ling Shen, who do you think will win between Chaoge and the Grand Princess?"
Watching the two graceful figures facing off on the stage.
Many gathered around Ling Zhan, seeking his opinion.
To this.
Ling Zhan had only three words.
"I don't know."
He really couldn't predict the outcome.
Because the two women were equally matched in strength.
Either one could win.
But no matter who won, it wouldn't affect the final result.
The championship, Ling Zhan had to win!
Not only for the rich rewards but also to complete the system's task.
At this moment.
The two prodigies were ready.
The referee, without any unnecessary words, announced the start of the match.
As the countdown numbers appeared on the screen.
Li Chaoge drew the famed sword 'Zhan Kan'.
And Princess Saint Luni also brought out her intricately engraved staff, the 'Strange and Colorful Staff'.
When the countdown reached '1'.
Buzz!!
Princess Saint Luni raised her staff first.
The next second.
The entire space of the stage twisted, a mysterious space ripple surged, forming a massive vortex that engulfed both Princess Saint Luni and Li Chaoge!
To the astonishment of the audience.
The two graceful figures vanished from the stage, and the distorted space returned to its original state.
But the stage was empty.
"Uh..."
"Where are they!?"
"Damn! Where did the two beauties go?"
This scene left the audience bewildered.
And the official commentator provided an explanation.
It turned out...
This was the innate skill of Princess Saint Luni's 'Strange and Colorful Staff'.
'Realm of Reincarnation'!
The Strange and Colorful Staff was not just a spirit weapon, but a semi-sacred weapon.
The 'Realm of Reincarnation' could forcibly drag the enemy into a secret realm.
In the secret realm.
The enemy would experience nine cycles of reincarnation, with Princess Saint Luni, as the owner of the semi-sacred weapon, having the power to interfere with the enemy's breakthroughs.
Of course.
This didn't mean victory was guaranteed by dragging the enemy into the 'Realm of Reincarnation'.
Some had strong minds, enduring the nine cycles of reincarnation tests, breaking through quickly.
If the enemy broke through, the staff's owner would be punished, falling into a weakened state, losing combat ability.
Conversely, if the enemy failed, they too would fall into a weakened state.
Hence the name 'Strange and Colorful Staff'.
It was indeed quite strange and colorful.
Perhaps Princess Saint Luni knew her strength was on par with Li Chaoge.
A bloody fight would be hard to decide.
So she opted for a mental battle.
Overall, Princess Saint Luni had an advantage with the semi-sacred weapon, able to interfere with Li Chaoge's nine cycles of reincarnation.
But...
"Damn! So boring!"
"Damn! Didn't expect Princess Saint Luni to use such a dull method…"
"For us, it's boring, but for those two, it's not necessarily boring. Who knows what they experience in those nine cycles?"
"Sigh! I really want to see it!"
"Who doesn't?"
"…"
The audience found this match particularly boring.
In the Dragon Kingdom preparation area.
Ling Zhan got up, planning to get more coffee.
The other team members weren't worried.
Li Chaoge's sword heart was clear and bright, her mind incredibly resilient.
The reincarnation dream realm was likely something she could easily break through.
Victory seemed certain.
But...
What puzzled everyone was the faint worry on the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's face.
Situ Yalan asked softly, "Alan, what's wrong? Worried about Chaoge?"
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox sighed, "Yes, I'm worried about my master."
Xue Ming said, "Don't worry. With Captain Chaoge's resilient mind, she can easily break through any mental barrier. The Strange and Colorful Staff is just a minor trick."
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox sighed again, "If it was before the expedition, I would have thought so too."
"But now…"
"What about now?"
Situ Yalan asked.
"Now my master's sword heart might not be as pure as before."
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox said softly.
"What? Who could affect Captain Chaoge's sword heart?"
Xue Ming asked, puzzled.
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox didn't reply, just glanced at Ling Zhan approaching with a coffee cup.
Situ Yalan and Xue Ming followed her gaze.
Then their bodies shook!
Uh...
Damn!!
It was indeed possible!
Situ Yalan and Xue Ming exchanged a look, seeing the shock and realization in each other's eyes...
Yes!
Reflecting on past scenes, they realized Captain Chaoge seemed too proactive towards Ling Zhan!
Every time Ling Zhan came down from the stage, she was the first to greet him!
Sometimes, while watching Ling Zhan's matches, she would be so focused that she ignored Situ Yalan's words!
Last night, after the match, she actively sat next to Ling Zhan for dinner!
Having been in the front-line special combat squad for so long.
They knew Captain Chaoge's personality well.
When had she ever been so proactive with a man?
"Now you understand why I'm worried?"
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox said softly.
Xue Ming and Situ Yalan fell silent.
Then sighed.
...
...
It turned out.
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's worry was justified.
Crack!!
After the audience waited for half an hour.
The large, silent stage finally echoed with the sound of space breaking.
"Hmm!?"
"It's happening! The result is finally coming out!?"
The previously listless audience perked up, craning their necks to look at the stage center.
The small spatial crack in the stage center quickly expanded.
After a few seconds.
Crash!!
The entire spatial crack shattered like glass!
And two graceful figures emerged from the shattered realm.
Tap!!
As soon as the two figures landed.
Li Chaoge, holding her sword, knelt down, her face pale, Zhan Kan stabbed into the ground.
Her previously proud sword intent now appeared weak.
Her delicate, beautiful face, unlike her usual cold demeanor, was now flushed with shame and anger.
"Saint Luni! You're despicable!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Chaoge knelt, supporting herself with her sword, cursing in shame and anger.
