Ping Er! Zhang Lexuan let out a low cry to her teammate. Beside her, the seemingly timid young girl immediately responded to the call. A soft green light flickered in her hand as five green apples appeared. They gave off a faint fragrance as she offered them to Zhang Lexuan. This was her Spirit, the Green Apple.
As a food system Spirit Master, she could provide incredibly powerful single-target buff effects to her allies. Zhang Lexuan took the fruit without any hesitation and quickly bit into each apple. The sour taste made her unconsciously frown slightly, but the next moment, a surge of immense power instantly coursed through her entire body.
Her spirit power, speed, strength, mental energy, and life recovery speed all increased at once. Five buffs were applied to her, with each one providing a substantial 40% to 50% increase in her stats. A support system Spirit Master capable of entering the Shrek main team naturally had unquestionable abilities. She gestured with her eyes, and Ping Er understood the signal immediately.
The girl bit into a speed-boosting Green Apple herself and then ran to the edge of the competition stage with the remaining fruit. She held an invincible shield, ready to use it at any moment to protect herself.
At the same time, Fang Yi, the support system Spirit King from the opposing Sun Moon Battle Team, also completed her support Spirit Ability. She was also a food system Spirit Master and stood there cradling a pile of bread for her team.
Zhang Lexuan's gaze fell on Kong Mingan without the slightest hesitation. The next moment, a cold moon shadow suddenly appeared behind her. Countless sharp, moon-white light blades poured out like a torrential storm. They directly covered half of the competition stage in a deadly rain of light.
Having witnessed his bizarre Qi and blood sealing ability before, she chose the simplest and most brutal method to deal with him. She used an indiscriminate area bombardment to force him away so he would be unable to approach her easily. Facing the overwhelming moon blades, Kong Mingan did not panic at all.
He ate the last bite of bread in his mouth and then picked up Fang Yi, who was standing beside him. He threw her into the spatial ripples that had opened up next to him, safely sending her to the edge of the competition stage. After doing all this, he unhurriedly raised his hand toward the sky.
Instantly, an invisible and space-distorting barrier silently unfolded in front of him. It covered half of the arena like a glass wall. All the whistling moon blades vanished the moment they touched this barrier. They were like mud oxen entering the sea, disappearing without leaving a single trace behind.
Zhang Lexuan's eyes narrowed as she instinctively sensed that something was wrong. However, the next moment, space fluctuated right behind her. Those vanished moon blades actually shot out from the ripples behind her back. They were completely intact and moving fast. Zhang Lexuan reacted extremely quickly to the danger.
Her figure instantly transformed into a hazy moon essence, allowing her to narrowly avoid her own attack. She landed gracefully in the distance to reset her stance. A Space Spirit? Zhang Lexuan grew a little more serious as she looked at him. The young man's second Spirit was a space Spirit, which was as rare as those ultimate attribute Spirits people talked about.
That Ghostblood mist was already troublesome enough, but now she was being told he also possessed such clearly extraordinary spatial abilities. I must finish this quickly! I absolutely cannot give him any room to maneuver!
Zhang Lexuan's eyes flashed with determination. The fifth and sixth black ten-thousand-year spirit rings on her body simultaneously shone with dazzling light. Sixth Spirit Ability, Moon Rise! Fifth Spirit Ability, Moon Fall! The first one was a powerful amplification Spirit Ability, while the second was a pure offensive Spirit Ability. Moon Rise empowered her, causing the moon essence around Zhang Lexuan to greatly intensify until her Aura began to surge. At the same time, a massive orb of light appeared.
It looked like a truly falling moon and descended with a destructive Aura as it smashed towards Kong Mingan. Kong Mingan's eyes remained calm despite the pressure. He raised his hand and skillfully condensed a crimson Qi and blood spear in his palm. But this time, it was a little different. The spear's tail was connected to a clearly visible Qi and blood chain.
He held his breath, focused his mind, and then threw it with all his might. A loud bang echoed through the stadium. Centered on Kong Mingan's feet, the ground suddenly cracked like a spiderweb from the force of his throw. The spear was thrown, but its target was not the falling moon glow. He aimed it directly at Zhang Lexuan instead.
Zhang Lexuan's eyes remained calm as she watched the projectile. She shifted her body slightly, letting the spear graze past her waist without hitting her. However, the spear plunged into a spatial ripple behind her and disappeared instantly. The next moment, it emerged from another ripple not far in front of her.
It continued to stab at her with a sharp Aura. Zhang Lexuan sensed something was wrong and narrowly dodged the weapon again. This time, the sharp spear tip almost grazed her neck, bringing with it a cold chill. Just as she was about to adjust her posture, Zhang Lexuan's pupils suddenly constricted.
One subtle spatial ripple after another appeared out of nowhere all around her. Under Kong Mingan's precise control, the Qi and blood spear appeared and disappeared like a Gui Mei through countless spatial passages. Each appearance was accompanied by the Binding and sealing power of that Qi and blood chain.
Countless crimson chains emerged from various incredible angles like living tentacles. They began Binding and tightening around her. Zhang Lexuan pushed her movement technique to its limit, yet she was still like a moth caught in a spiderweb. Her space for dodging was gradually being compressed and exhausted by the chains.
Finally, with a soft sound, more than a dozen Qi and blood chains suddenly tightened. They firmly bound her hands, feet, waist, abdomen, and even her neck. Her entire body was frozen in mid-air and she was unable to move at all.
Kong Mingan's figure silently stepped out from the spatial ripples. He arrived not far in front of Zhang Lexuan and paused slightly. It seemed like he was about to tell her to surrender the match. However, at that very instant, Zhang Lexuan suddenly erupted with a determined light in her eyes even though she was tightly bound.
The moon essence around her body flickered wildly with unprecedented brightness. With a swish, the figure bound by the chains suddenly became illusory. The next instant, it vanished into thin air like a reflection in a mirror. And almost at the same time, a streak of extreme moon essence suddenly lit up behind Kong Mingan. Zhang Lexuan's figure flashed out like a Gui Mei.
A slender and sharp moon-white light blade was condensed in her hand. She unhesitatingly and precisely stabbed it towards Kong Mingan's lower abdomen. This was the position that could most quickly determine the outcome without causing a fatal injury. It was also convenient for subsequent treatment.
This was her full-power strike. It was condensed with all her spirit power, her will, and her last hope for victory. The moon blade penetrated the target's lower abdomen without any obstruction. It succeeded? This thought had just risen in Zhang Lexuan's mind when things changed. The next moment, the Kong Mingan she had stabbed suddenly shook violently. Then, he burst open like a punctured water bag.
An intensely concentrated crimson blood mist instantly spread out from the burst image. It completely engulfed Zhang Lexuan, who was extremely close and had no time to react to the trap.
She let out a small ugh as a terrifying sense of suffocation and spirit power stagnation instantly overwhelmed her like ice water. Her Meridians were completely blocked and her spirit power was entirely sealed.
Even her connection with her Spirit, the Moon, became blurred and weak. A wave of powerlessness and despair instinctively surged through her body. The familiar feeling directly triggered the memory of the night her family was massacred deep in her mind. This feeling was more intense than any previous time.
She gritted her teeth and relied on her strong willpower to avoid crying out in surrender. Her eyes fixed on the young man who had appeared in front of her. She raised her incredibly heavy arm, gathered her last ounce of strength, and threw her final punch forward.
