"Solved with two punches?"

Qing Yu’s expression was incredibly vivid, his eyes full of disbelief. Although Ye Mingqiu had told him earlier that Tang Ruobing was very strong, he was mentally prepared in advance.

Even so, he couldn’t imagine a Mage being able to crush a tank in close combat with two punches, especially a Level 10 legendary tank.

"No, something’s off! This doesn’t seem like getting killed by damage."

Qing Yu squinted, recalling the scene in his mind. Although Tang Ruobing’s attack power was strong, it wasn’t enough to explode Zhen Yue, who had activated Black Tortoise Illusion for defense, with one punch.

Bear in mind, when she attacked an unprepared Zhen Yue inside the Black Tortoise Illusion before, she only managed to take down a third of his health.

This damage seems off!

While he was contemplating, Tang Ruobing returned from the arena with a relaxed smile, gracefully and calmly returning to her seat, feeling quite pleased.

"Congratulations, successfully positioned at second place."

Ye Mingqiu said with a smile.

"Mm, it was simpler than imagined; his Abnormal Status Resistance was much lower than anticipated."

Tang Ruobing replied.

The power she used was gained through connecting with the Spirit Realm via the Ancient God’s Aura and quenching herself with the Ancient Divine Realm’s power.

Gaining power in this manner is inherently a high-risk behavior, and although the Eye of Omaragon absorbed the curse, her Spiritual Energy was still contaminated with the attributes of erosion and corruption due to the quenching by the Ancient Divine Realm’s power.

Erosion and corruption occur simultaneously, making the presence of corruption obscure the detection of erosion; it’s quite a terrifying combination of powers.

Tang Ruobing’s strategy is highly deceptive; when others think she’s going for a burst, she uses a vast amount of Total Spiritual Energy to enlighten them of their mistakes;

When she’s set up her field and successfully cast high-intensity magic, making enemies think she’s going to be a turret Mage crazily outputting, she quietly approaches and disorients the opponent directly.

As enemies gradually start to adapt to this bizarre battle rhythm, unbeknownst to them, Tang Ruobing’s setup from the beginning was for Spiritual Energy to spread, turning into a silent icy wind merging into the air, turning into Extreme Cold terrains quietly contacting the enemy and thus stacking the effects of erosion and corruption.

Until finally, when the stacked extreme effects of erosion and corruption were detonated with a punch, the screen was filled with judgments, stealthy Instant Death, erosion, and corruption judgments hidden amidst heavy Frozen slowdown judgments.

Even when Instant Death judgments succeeded, Zhen Yue didn’t know how he died.

"Deservedly the vice-captain, truly remarkable."

Qing Yu praised with a smile.

"Just restraint, if it were the same level Assassin or Warrior, I probably couldn’t have won this easily," Tang Ruobing replied with a smile, while her small hand quietly slipped through the gap in the seats towards the side.

Feeling the familiar touch at her fingertips, Ye Mingqiu smiled and held that mischievous little hand.

"Ding~"

The Spirit Realm notification sound chimed.

Broken Star: Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear?

Divine Monarch: Good news.

Broken Star: Through quenching with the Ancient Divine Realm’s power, my Spiritual Energy acquired part of the powers of erosion and corruption, and the tier is quite high.

Divine Monarch: What are the specific effects?

Broken Star: Contact with my Spiritual Energy will trigger erosion judgment, corruption judgment, and Instant Death judgment, my Spiritual Energy’s attributes are visibly influenced by the Ancient Divine Realm’s powers.

Ye Mingqiu wasn’t surprised, because the Ancient Divine Realm’s power quenching that Tang Ruobing underwent is all at lethal doses, and even dozens of times lethal doses; if there were no impact, that would be surprising.

Divine Monarch: What’s the bad news?

Broken Star: If it continues like this, I feel my Spiritual Energy attributes will gradually be assimilated by the Ancient God’s Power, having more terrifying traits while increasing in intensity and total volume, and possibly affecting my body in some manner.

Divine Monarch: Like what?

Broken Star: In the worst case, any physical contact with me could trigger the Instant Death judgment, and the judgment could be quite frequent.

Divine Monarch: Are you okay yourself?

Broken Star: No big issues, to adapt to this power quenching, I wear plenty of equipment that stacks Abnormal Status Resistance each time during the quenching, so the impact on me isn’t significant.

Broken Star: To be precise, it’s the Ancient Divine Realm’s power residue on my body’s surface, not my body being remodeled into a cursed form.

Divine Monarch: Hmm, glad you’re okay, no need to push yourself so hard, you can relax a bit, go travel, enjoy some scenery, try baking and such.

Broken Star: Then let you surpass me while racing in the bends?

Broken Star: Stare.

Divine Monarch: Don’t misinterpret my words, I genuinely care for you. As for the levels, I think they’re not that important actually.

Broken Star: Then okay, you don’t level up either, come with me and travel.

Divine Monarch: That’s not possible. True great relationships are about achieving each other, not dragging each other down. I’m just offering suitable recommendations based on your circumstances, after all, I don’t have such negative status interference affecting me; wasting time wouldn’t be wise, right? It’s quite an imprudent thing to do.

Broken Star: Heh!

Divine Monarch: (இωஇ)

Broken Star: The resources discussed previously will be approved in a few days shortly, but let me make it clear, the Spiritual Points and material equipment you gave only allow for one batch.

Divine Monarch: Do you have a plan?

Broken Star: First, you take a Spirit Realm screenshot of the Celestial Ladder Arena’s top-ranking leaderboard image, if you can stabilize first place. Then, send the results straight to Zheng Xuejun, let the school explode with some Gold Coins.
