C106 Part2

Translated by An Edited by An

Of course, Yang QiQi was also quite surprised. Through her own research of this world, she came to know that all those with attributes would usually choose a suitable natal spirit and fuse with it at the right time.

Normally, a ‘suitable natal spirit’ might not necessarily imply that the stronger the species, the better it was. Besides the compatibility of the constitution, it was much more important to match the disposition and attributal skill of the person.

Although there was no clear-cut regulation as far as the ‘right time’ was concerned, due to the uniqueness and irreversibility of the fusion, the users generally chose to fuse at the yellow or even the red rank. On one hand, one needed time to consider and select their natal spirit while on the other hand, it was helpful in making them stronger, lay a solid foundation, and have a greater potential to go further in the future. It was reported that none of the female beastmen who chose to fuse before reaching the yellow rank had gotten promoted to the purple rank of a Saintess.

However, she didn’t expect that LanJing City, for some reason, was willing to let Mu YouYun, one of their three seeded contestants, fuse with a natal spirit while still in the green rank and that the latter would actually also agree.

Xiao Yuan was not surprised by Mu YouYun and the LanJing City Saintess Hall’s decision because she knew how precious a ‘ guklim ‘ was.

Any remains of something that used to exist more than 700 years ago, even if it was merely a dead part that was unable to germinate, could be regarded as a green rank Saintess Hall’s treasure.

Mu YouYun’s aptitude was not bad. However, that was only relative to the green rank. After all, there would be several such competent people in the yellow-ranked Saintess Hall she would join in the future ah. At that time, the ‘spirit’ issued by that Saintess Hall might not necessarily be as rare as a ‘ guklim ‘.

Although the prospect of fusing with a spirit at a higher rank was better, what if she could not get promoted beyond the red, or perhaps the yellow, rank all her life? So, it would be better to grab the opportunity first and spend more time on training and adapting to the spirit. In this way, when she eventually joined a yellow-ranked Saintess Hall, her strength would be half a rank higher than the rest of the Female Warriors.

It was not that no one had pondered over this point, but only a handful of people had actually implemented it. To cut a long story short, most Female Warriors had this wishful thinking: ‘Perhaps I’ll become a Saintess in the future?’

Therefore, Mu YouYun being so practical and decisive was different from usual.

In the field, Mu YouYun rode on a large fragment of the ‘guklim’ through the sea of fire and shot out smaller ‘guklim’ -s each the size of a jujube pit. Their speed and power made Yang QiQi recall scenes of gunshots from her previous life.

“QiQi, your guess was wrong ah~” Xiang BuChen chuckled softly.

Her fingers felt itchy, why did she suddenly want to pinch this punk’s flesh so much?! But thinking of the wrong time and place, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and restrain herself.

In the virtual battlefield, ZiZi failed to successfully evade Mu YouYun’s shot and was struck near her forehead. It arrived like a bullet before piercing right through ZiZi’s left eye and going out from the back of her head, splattering blood everywhere.

Although Cang City’s male beastmen had gained an absolute advantage and successfully killed two of the males from LanJing City’s side, they were shot dead one by one by Mu YouYun’s little ‘guklim’ -s because of the failure of their own female.

This, in the fourth match of the sixth round, LanJing City’s Mu YouYun achieved victory.

The fifth and last match of the round was between DuYue City’s Female Warrior Er Mei and Cang City’s Female Warrior YueDu.

“QiQi, can you guess who will win this time?” Xiang BuChen continued to tease Yang QiQi.

‘Again?’ She glanced at him. ‘This punk is usually taciturn, so what is wrong with him today? He is being too wordy.’

But really, who would win? The competition has now heated up. Many hidden true strengths were gradually beginning to get exposed. For example, her own mental powers (although most people didn’t know she used two kinds of attributes due to her good cover-up) and Mu YouYun’s natal spirit just a few moments ago. Therefore, it was hard to predict who would win this match.

“Of course it is Female Warrior YueDu.” Tu Jin said from the side, “Female Warrior Er Mei has wood attribute while Female Warrior YueDu has fire attribute. It is very difficult for wood to defeat fire ah! That is, unless, Female Warrior Er Mei has also fused with a fire-resistant natal spirit.”

Female Warrior Xiao Yuan had already asserted that a guklim fruit was awfully precious and unique. The same was true for resolute female beastmen like Mu YouYun, who dared to fuse with the natal spirit at the green rank.

Therefore, Yang QiQi agreed with Tu Jin’s judgment.

“I also think Female Warrior YueDu has a better chance of winning.” She echoed.

Ultimately, the result of this match did not differ from everyone’s conjecture. YueDu successfully entered the next round of competition by beating DuYue City’s Er Mei.

Reflecting on the previous day’s shopping experience, Yang QiQi firmly refused Female Warrior Wa Hu’s invitation to take a stroll around the city. She went back to the building to take a bath, eat and sleep.

Among the five teams that entered the seventh round, both Cang City and LanJing City had two participants, making her the odd one.

In the seventh round, the rules of the competition stated that the five teams would enter the virtual realm together and fight. The defeated teams would be eliminated and the last two surviving teams would fight for the position of the champion and runner-up in the eighth round. The three eliminated teams would also fight again in the eighth round, and the winner among them would become the second runner-up.

Sigh , the four teams all have allies so the pressure on her would be tremendous ah.

Should she accept Female Warrior Wa Hu’s proposal and unite with the two teams from LanJing City to defeat the two teams from Cang City first? But then… Wa Hu and Mu YouYun would surely join forces to deal with her. And in the end, both the positions of the champion and runner-up would end up belonging to LanJing City. This is not just any ordinary conspiracy, but an open and upright one!
