Chapter 223 Training
The soft-hearted Ji Yuanzhou took Gong Jingming away, but he was troubled about how to take care of him.
No one knows what Miao Yin did. Without her permission, he didn't even dare to eat, and no one could get him to move, including Yao Yue, who used to be his teammate.
Therefore, what happened to Gong Jingming greatly affected Yao Yue.
She became taciturn, no longer approaching Gong Jingming, and no longer as timid and hesitant as before, out of fear. Instead, she resembled the way Miao Yin first met her.
Yan Shuzhou also suddenly became elusive, disappearing at night and only returning in the early morning with a menacing aura, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Tu Hao.
Miao Yin didn't bother with him, but simply handed Bai Niangzi over to him to prevent him from dying outside.
In the final period of her life, she orchestrated an internal power struggle.
Under the scorching midday sun, Miao Yin, holding a delicate little parasol, found a deserted highway, then took Ling's hand and said...
"After so many days of training, it's time to test the results. However, there are no monsters here that can fight against a team of superpowered individuals like yours, so Ling and I will take your place."
"...Isn't this a game we're destined to lose?" Ji Yuanzhou said with a wry smile.
Not everyone present will participate in the battle. Since it involves using superpowers, Yu Wenwen, Yao Yue, and Xia Tang, who are healing-type, will not participate at all.
Of the remaining two summoners, one cherished her dearly and would rather die than use his powers on her, while the other trembled at the sight of her, not to mention making a move, a single word from Miao Yin could make him kneel down.
This means they've lost two more combatants.
There's also Tu Hao, who often can't distinguish friend from foe, and Song Qiming, who bombs indiscriminately; Ji Yuanzhou is having a terrible headache.
This is no different from directly testing him.
"Ji Yuanzhou, this is just a test. There's no need to be so fearless. At most, you'll lose a hand or a foot, but you'll be healed in a few minutes." Miao Yin smiled under the small parasol, bathed in bright sunshine.
"I don't really like losing a hand..." Ji Yuanzhou smiled bitterly, recalling bad memories, or rather, shadows.
But when will what Miao Yin wants to do be stopped?
She took out a small whistle, blew it cheerfully, and announced the start of the battle.
She took Ling's hand and then took control of her body.
A surge of power coursed through the skin's texture, flames and thorns merged, and the black fire thorns, just like those at the zoo, were reborn. The wildly growing thorns blotted out the sky, and even the scorching summer sun paled in comparison.
Having been driven to the brink of death by the flames, Ji Yuanzhou's mind went blank. Under the threat of his nerves being compressed, a chilling current coursed through his entire body.
Ultimately, he and Gong Jingming are somewhat similar.
They were all the same; none of them had the courage to face Miao Yin.
Just as he froze, Ji Yuanzhou was patted on the head. Tan Ling walked past him, turned her head slightly, and said, "Ji Yuanzhou, don't stand there, hit him first."
Tan Ling, wearing leather boots, her short black hair flying wildly, felt ice spreading from her feet in an instant, turning into sharp icicles.
The cold, gleaming light, like her soul, caused the scorching temperature to plummet, restoring calm to the asphalt road. She brought the out-of-control temperature back to their comfortable realm.
The ice froze inch by inch, and the ground turned into a hedgehog, arching its back forward.
Black and red thorns swept through, shattering icicles and melting the ground.
Ice fragments, shimmering with a crystal-clear light, flew through the cracks, then suddenly transformed into spiky spheres, trapping the thorns.
Since this was just a battle to test their abilities, Miao Yin didn't put in too much of her strength.
Tan Ling's move of retreating to advance was quite interesting. If it were just plain white thorns without the flames, this move would definitely have worked.
But now, even a tiny bit of it will melt the ice into water, which will then turn into a white mist of water vapor.
Large amounts of ice melted, and amidst the hissing sound, white steam obscured the view.
Miao Yin commented with relish: "Interesting, they create opportunities for their teammates by disrupting my vision."
She turned her head and looked to her right rear as if she had a premonition: "Then next, it should be from here."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a car crashed down from the sky.
Miao Yin was prepared; the thorns made a sharp whooshing sound as they cleaved the car in two mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, one object after another was manipulated and rushed in like a snowball from all blind spots.
The shattered objects were once again manipulated by someone in the shadows, their shapes twisted, their edges sharpened, and they transformed into weapons that attacked them.
They were fast, and so were the thorns. The black fire thorns, covered in barbs, burned, whipping up fiery tornadoes that swept everything in their path and devoured it all.
The items he had painstakingly found on the road were being rapidly consumed, and his arsenal of weapons dwindled quickly.
Bai Wendong must have realized this as well, because he stopped attacking soon after and switched to another method.
He began to employ a strong offensive, concentrating all his forces in one place to attack, causing more thorns to shift their positions.
Tan Ling changed her approach at the right time. In addition to continuing to use fire to create ice mist, she also assisted Bai Wendong's attack.
The steaming water vapor makes breathing uncomfortable; in times of drought, it would be a rare and precious dew.
If Tan Ling hadn't died at the Sunrise Shopping Mall, she would definitely have become the most sought-after ice-type ability user in the apocalypse.
Within the steam, tiny fragments were quietly manipulated and moved towards the back of Miao Yin's neck, where the attached supernatural power was activated invisibly.
"boom!"
Explosions rang out outside the thorn wall, a surprise attack orchestrated by Song Qiming and Bai Wendong.
"The good fortune bestowed by heaven brought together a person with the ability to manipulate objects and a person who can make objects explode."
As the thorns unfurled, Miao Yin spoke softly within them, her tone revealing a hint of satisfaction.
This is much better than the people she raised in her previous life.
A pebble thrown into a calm lake sends ripples of panic spreading. After that explosion, it was as if some incredible switch had been flipped, and soon, a large number of objects began to explode, like a thunderclap out of nowhere.
If you're not careful, these bombs could blow you to pieces.
Fortunately, Song Qiming's ability can only turn inanimate objects into bombs; otherwise, not many people could trap him here.
"It's a bit noisy with all the crackling and popping."
Miao Yin tightened her grip on Ling's hand slightly, and thorns began to grow wildly, forming a huge encirclement around them, blocking everything out.
In an instant, the encirclement was shattered, and sparks exploded in a radial pattern, blasting everything around them away.
All the ice shattered and disappeared in an instant, exposing Song Qiming and Bai Wendong, who had been blocked by Tan Ling. They were thrown more than ten meters away by the strong airflow.
Tan Ling quickly erected an ice wall to block it, but cracks appeared in the ice wall in less than half a second. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself that something was wrong.
Only when a massive bolt of lightning struck, neutralizing the flames and strong winds and cleaving through the thorns, did Tan Ling finally catch her breath.
The crumbling ice wall shattered completely at that moment.
The thorns parted, like menacing monsters lying behind Miao Yin. She smiled brightly in the firelight: "Finally, you've mentally prepared yourself?"
Ji Yuanzhou's hand, raised in mid-air, was still trembling slightly, while lightning flashed and thunder roared around him.
He gave a wry smile: "Let's try our best."
