Tang Ruobing pondered silently.

In terms of control and precision, although she was stronger than many ordinary hero mages, compared to these top-tier mages, her advantage was no longer an advantage, merely a capability everyone possessed. Some top micro-operation mages were even stronger than her.

All she could rely on was a slightly higher amount of spiritual energy than the average spiritualist, and spiritual power strength honed by the Ancient Divine Realm power.

Besides the numbers, she had nothing.

"I concede."

From afar came Lante’s voice.

He stood inside the turtle shell, "observing" the outside scene through perception power, his battle intent gradually extinguishing. Rather than exhaust time and energy fighting against such overwhelming combat power, wasting trump cards, it’s better to conserve strength to face other enemies.

This was the most rational choice.

Shortly after, the Spirit Realm’s notification sounded. Tang Ruobing relaxed her guard, the icy domain was swiftly dispelled by the realm’s power, restoring the arena to its original state in no time.

Lante did not leave immediately; he watched Tang Ruobing from a distance and couldn’t help but ask, "How did you do it? That level of spiritual energy shouldn’t be something a normal hero level should possess, right?"

Tang Ruobing didn’t answer, merely watched Lante get transported away by the realm.

She was under no obligation to answer the question.

Challenge the second rank.

[Confirm challenge? Yes/No]

Yes.

A wave of teleportation gradually rippled, bringing the previously quiet Zhen Yue, who was hiding in a small house, back to the arena.

Having just been beaten by the War Tyrant, he was not in a good mood, even a bit depressed, as Zhen Yue watched Tang Ruobing from afar, realizing she was just a hero-level mage.

Really?

A Level 4 Legendary challenging me is one thing, but you, a hero, look down on me too? Really think I’m easy to bully?

"Are you looking down on me?"

Zhen Yue asked coldly.

He seriously doubted that Tang Ruobing dared to challenge him because the War Tyrant’s display was too overwhelming, making him appear weak after taking the hit, creating an illusion that "this guy’s strength is just like that."

"Of course not."

Tang Ruobing shook her head slightly.

"Then what is it?"

Zhen Yue frowned in confusion, wondering if Tang Ruobing had something to say to him. Is some faction trying to recruit him? Or are his books about to sell in big numbers, getting noticed by officials who want to make it into a Tank System tutorial?

"I have the confidence to defeat you, so I’m here to challenge you," Tang Ruobing replied simply and directly.

"...."

Zhen Yue remained silent.

No, what’s the difference from looking down on me? You, a hero level, come to challenge a legendary level, and I’m even an extreme legend; are you thinking you can beat me like a punching bag too?

Hm? Answer me!

[Notice: The battle will start in 3 seconds]

3! 2! 1!

The battle begins!

With the Spirit Realm’s notification sounding, Tang Ruobing instantly lifted her magic staff to cast spells, launching multiple magics simultaneously. The high-speed cutoff spellcasting she used was thoroughly refined, even stronger than many top spiritualists, given that normal spiritualists didn’t have as much spiritual energy to waste as she did.

At the same time, Zhen Yue also moved!

He charged directly at Tang Ruobing, while his body emitted black dark radiance light, with Xuanwu’s shadow flashing intermittently. His heavy, stable footsteps quickly gained as he moved forward like a fast-moving tank.

Though Zhen Yue belonged to the Tank System, his power and agility weren’t low, just not very high compared to his primary attribute. In extreme condition, a legendary level spiritualist’s four-dimensional attributes wouldn’t be low.

The weak attribute could be relatively lower, but never too low—a low attribute becomes a deadly drawback, easily exploited by others. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

For example, Ye Mingqiu had a skill called Killing Intent Fluctuation—a greater mental attribute gap results in higher damage. If Zhen Yue’s mental attribute was too low, Killing Intent Fluctuation could easily deal significant damage, which is the effect of countering.

Zhen Yue was a top spiritualist; he hoped he wouldn’t have such a fatal weakness.

"Holy Charge!"

Zhen Yue advanced again, with even more rapid momentum, the distance between him and Tang Ruobing sharply closing in a short time.

Meanwhile, Tang Ruobing’s expression barely changed; she calmly cast spells and, as before, began deploying an exclusive domain of her own.

"Extreme Cold Domain."

The extreme cold aura swiftly spread; her exclusive domain unfolded. While the Extreme Cold Domain existed, it could amplify the strength of Tang Ruobing’s subsequent ice attribute spells to a certain extent, reducing enemy movement and attack speeds, and it could also make attacks more relentless by spreading ice over the ground.

This domain’s effect was excellent, achieving tremendous effectiveness in most situations through massive spiritual energy, with Ye Mingqiu being the sole exception.

He was directly immune to control and negative effects, walking normally through the Extreme Cold Domain.

Stealth attacks via micro-operation were futile, as he also had [Innate Perception], with extremely powerful perception power, making stealth attacks ineffective.

"Frozen Land."

Tang Ruobing continued casting spells, the extreme cold aura spreading in all directions from her center. Ghostly blue ice covered the ground and extended outward continuously.

At this moment, Zhen Yue, who had initiated Holy Charge, reached Tang Ruobing’s front and swung his great sword high, slashing down fiercely.

"Ka!!"

Extreme ice surged from the frozen land like water waves possessing life, naturally blocking Tang Ruobing’s path. The great sword carved a massive crack into the ghostly blue water wave-shaped extreme ice, as splintering ice scattered mid-air, and beneath the ice lay the unchanged expression of Tang Ruobing.
