Minor World

The sounds of a fierce battle rang out on one of the Domain Traversal Platforms.

Jiang Qing'e was surrounded by a billowing energy tempest in the air. Her three Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds were burning brightly like suns, giving off the aura of perfection and completion.

Between her brows were the Archaic Runes, which were like a sacred mark placed by the gods, flowing with primordial light energy.

With the power of three Archaic Runes, Jiang Qing'e's body was illuminated with white light, giving her a divine and unblemished appearance. She now resembled a spirit of light, resonating with the light energy that existed in the world around her.

Every single move she made caused boundless amounts of light energy to shift.

As she gripped her heavy sword, her slender figure was garbed in the mentor's attire for the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College, which revealed her curves and showcased her straight legs under the skin-tight pants. The Sacred Crown of Thorns flowed with light as it was perched on her head, giving her a noble appearance so dazzling that people didn't dare to look at her directly.

Bang!

The skies were torn apart as berserk bolts of lightning rained down endlessly, violently bombarding Jiang Qing'e's position.

Fang Xingyun's lightning barrage was like a toddler’s slap compared to this.

Her expression remained placid as the three Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds roared, causing whitish-gold Divine Mist to flow out, transforming into a mirror of light.

As the lightning bolts whizzed down, the mirror light was pierced through.

In the end, the torrent of lightning bolts struck the three Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds, causing them to shake. However, a moment later, vast amounts of light spilled out of the Duke Bergfrieds like a tide, sublimating all of the lightning's energy.

"As expected of a third-grade Transcendent. The purity of your light resonant power makes it difficult for my thunder resonant power to penetrate through."A man slowly walked out from within the thunderclouds, his gaze flowing with thunder energy as he looked at Jiang Qing'e. This was the eighth-grade Duke from the Mythical Spirit Ancient College, Zhou Jun.

He was wielding a thunder trident and his gaze was filled with surprise. To no one’s surprise, he had the advantage in the last confrontation! After all, he was an eighth-grade Duke. What was unexpected was that Jiang Qing'e had overcome his offensive thanks to her incredible foundation!

Although Zhou Jun had not gone all-out, the strength Jiang Qing'e had shown could not be underestimated.

Jiang Qing'e didn't bother responding; she glanced at the other circles, where battles were erupting. Her squad was at a disadvantage across all the other fronts, which wasn’t surprising either as Zhou Jun's squad was the strongest in the entire Mythical Spirit Ancient College.

Not only did they have a lower eighth-grade Duke, there was an upper and a lower seventh-grade Duke as well. The rest were all sixth-grades.

They were powerful enough to completely suppress her group.

The ancient colleges all operated like this. This meant that Sheng Qiao'er's squad from the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College had a similar lineup. This was for the purposes of guaranteeing victory and also to eliminate the other ancient colleges’ squads.

Any of the top four squads would find it difficult to be eliminated and thus, they were unofficially known as reaper squads.

Jiang Qing'e also understood this and didn't expect to emerge victorious. She only planned to tie up Zhou Jun for as long as possible, and once the rest of her squad was eliminated, she would then choose to resign.

After all, she would have to single-handedly deal with the entire enemy squad at that point.

Zhou Jun glanced at the silent Jiang Qing'e and gave a slight smile. A trace of an indiscernible emotion was hidden in the depths of his eyes. He then waved the thunder trident in his hand, causing a ten-thousand-foot-long beam of lightning to blast towards her. ṜαɴÖΒĚȘ

Bang!

The thunder resonant power clashed against light resonant power once again.

However, the clash didn't last for long. The energy undulations coming from the other fronts dissipated as pillars of light descended from the sky. The eliminated combatants were then sent out of the minor world.

Xiao Feng, Ning Meng, Yue Zhiyu, and the rest had all been eliminated. Jiang Qing'e understood that the battle had come to an end. There was no need to continue resisting, and she chose to resign. It would be better to take advantage of the remaining time and challenge other teams to rack up more victories.

The surging light coming from her three Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds began to weaken.

Zhou Jun's squadmates, who had come to support, understood that Jiang Qing'e was planning to resign.

However, a strange color flashed through Zhou Jun's eyes and one of his fingers turned as black as ink. He pointed fiercely into the air and created a crack in the void. An inky, black slurry of thunder energy pierced through the sky and immediately appeared before Jiang Qing'e. His sudden blow shocked everyone, including his own teammates.

Jiang Qing'e had not expected him to take action, and her expression turned cold. Her Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds rumbled to life and released boundless amounts of light resonant power, forming a heavy barrier. However, Zhou Jun was prepared—he had timed his attack to strike at the moment Jiang Qing'e was still converging her resonant power, so the inky, black thunder slurry penetrated through her defenses.

Black lightning poured down on her like a torrential rain, suppressing her light resonant power.

At the same time, some of the liquid fell on the Sacred Crown of Thorns on her forehead. It had the sinister effect of eroding her Mythic Armament, damaging it. It was at this point that her pillar of light descended, landing on her body and sending her out of the minor world.

When Zhou Jun saw this, he slowly retracted his finger. That was when his squad approached. "Squad Leader, she had already resigned. Why did you continue attacking? That is a violation of the rules."

Zhou Jun smiled casually, "It seems I slipped. Hehe..."

When the rest heard his words, they could only nod.

The pillar of light then sent his team out of the minor world.

……

At the same time.

On the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College's platform.

WhenJiang Qing'e emerged, she removed her Sacred Crown of Thorns to inspect it. There were inky, black marks on it, ruining its beauty. On top of that, its grade seemed to have been negatively affected. A bone-chilling coldness radiated from Jiang Qing'e's body.

The Sacred Crown of Thorns was a gift from Li Luo! Zhou Jun was clearly looking to die!
