CHAPTER 642: CHAPTER 134: FORMIDABLE ENEMY

Elf Mages, especially those of the Water Element, mostly excel in healing, but in terms of attack power, they tend to be somewhat lacking.

"Flame Emperor" essentially translates to only one person being able to attack, which is a disadvantage in the highly competitive monthly competition, where many experts gather.

Therefore, the odds for "Flame Emperor" aren’t looked upon favorably,

Both members of "Flame Emperor" kept silent after hearing this.

Chu Yu, worried they might overthink, hurried them to arrive at Zone 1 early to get used to the environment and also, incidentally, to observe the strength of the other competitors.

This time, in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone’s monthly competition, due to the emergence of two dark horse teams, "Flame Emperor" and "Shuanglong", as well as the strong Liu Dao, these teams are said to possess strength near the Earth Wing Level.

Paying only the fee for the Yellow Wing Competition Zone, spectators can witness contests of Earth Wing Level quality, making this month’s competition extraordinarily bustling.

The August monthly competition, hence, was dubbed a spectacular event that comes once in a decade.

For this reason, Zone 1 even expanded the venue, adding over a thousand temporary seats. The audience for the monthly competition could reach an unprecedented number of three thousand people.

Kong Fei’s tactics are also truly noteworthy; he must have been covetous of the impressive revenue from Zone 9 recently and blew some sweet nothings in the Second Young Master’s ear.

After this monthly competition, Zone 1 is sure to make a hefty profit.

Chu Yu informed "Flame Emperor" that there was another new team in this competition, "Shuanglong", who also made it directly into the monthly competition.

Most of the participants in the monthly competition are familiar faces, even Liu Qingqing, who is entering the monthly competition for the second time.

That afternoon, Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling arrived at Zone 1.

Due to their need for secrecy, Yun Sheng didn’t even inform Gu Feng and Qi.

The monthly competition also has a rest area for competitors, which, compared to the daily competition that accommodates hundreds of people, is much more luxurious.

Shining with multicolored Magic Lamps, seats draped with thick Beast Skin, and food and drinks freely available for the competitors to enjoy.

Competitors in the monthly competition are all exceptional beings from the Yellow Wing Zone.

The monthly competition also attracts many tourists and wealthy individuals visiting Sky Wing City, so the Arena treats the competitors much better.

"Flame Emperor" entered a rest room reminiscent of a modern private booth.

There, the other five teams of monthly competitors were already waiting.

"Flame Emperor" immediately noticed Liu Qingqing, who had taken up a corner by herself.

It was the first time "Yan" had seen Liu Qingqing.

Last time, "Yan" was too focused on saving "Emperor" to get a clear look at Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing, just as Donghuang Lingling had described earlier, was enchantingly beautiful, with a cascade of long hair and a pair of eyes as blue as the ocean.

She appeared utterly boneless, leaning back on a soft couch.

Next to her stood a strangely dressed man, not very tall, with not a single hair on his head.

His neck and limbs were very short, but he had broad shoulders, making him look like a turtle.

That man was presumably Liu Qingqing’s partner, Turtle Blade.

The duo of "Liu Dao" is the most highly anticipated team in this monthly competition.

Their odds are only one, whereas the odds for the "Flame Emperor" duo are seven.

"Yan" had already learned from Chu Yu that in the previous several duo battles, teams that faced "Liu Dao" had all been defeated miserably without exception.

Some have even completely lost their ability to compete in the competition as a result.

Liu Qingqing was fiddling with her brightly painted red nails when she sat up upon seeing the masked "Flame Emperor" duo enter.

"You little wretch, there’s a path to heaven, yet you refuse it and dare to appear before me," Liu Qingqing said fiercely, glaring vehemently at "Emperor".

She had never been on the losing end since the competition began and was itching to avenge the harsh lesson a brazen newcomer had taught her.

If it weren’t for the strict rule against fighting in the resting area for the competitors, she would have immediately clashed with "Emperor".

"Are you Liu Qingqing?" "Yan" held back "Emperor" and approached Liu Qingqing.

"Yes, that’s me. Are you that dead girl’s companion? Pfft, I’d advise you to concede early if you know what’s good for you. Otherwise, dying in the Arena later would be a senseless loss," Liu Qingqing gave "Yan" a sidelong glance.

"Liu Qingqing, whosoever harms my friend, I shall surely slay. See you in the Arena," "Yan" said with a cold smile.

Liu Qingqing was about to retort sarcastically but suddenly felt an icy chill around her.

The mask worn by "Yan" was already fierce, looking like a murderous Yaksha straight out of Hell at first glance, compounded by "Yan"’s bone-chillingly cold voice, making Liu Qingqing shiver.

"Flame Emperor," moved aside, no longer speaking, carefully observing the other competitors around.

"Overestimating oneself," Liu Qingqing whispered through clenched teeth, her momentum diminished by the preceding fear.

"Qingqing, there’s no need to stoop to their level; they might not even survive to make it to the finals," said the man who resembled a turtle, speaking from the side.

After hearing this, Liu Qingqing finally felt at ease.

For this August’s monthly competition, the Yellow Night Envoy has indeed gone through great pains, securing four slots for the Dark Night Pavilion.

In other words, today’s monthly competition is, to be blunt, only between "Shuanglong" and "Flame Emperor" who are not one of our own.

The Yellow Night Envoy is also confident about this monthly competition, considering those three teams as mere runners-up.

To clear the path for "Liu Dao" in the competition Arena.

The prowess of the "Flame Emperor" duo is nothing out of the ordinary; it remains uncertain if they could even intersect with her.

Thinking this, Liu Qingqing glanced at "Flame Emperor" once more, smiling sinisterly.

The interaction between "Flame Emperor" and "Liu Dao" had not gone unnoticed by "Shuanglong" nearby.

"Shuanglong" was comprised of Long Shui and Long Tu who, as players, were participating in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone—the same duo that had burst into the monthly competition as new contenders, as Chu Yu had previously informed "Flame Emperor".

Both members were affiliated with Wanlong Gambling House and were subordinates of Ye Beiming.

Now, bearing the name "Shuanglong," hinting at the two Longs.

Compared to Long Huo, who is usually in charge of major affairs at Wanlong Gambling House, these two kept a much lower profile, and Yun Sheng did not recognize them.

But their strength was by no means ordinary; one was a Mage and the other a Martial Artist, and they worked together seamlessly.

Ye Beiming had earlier sent Long Shui to infiltrate the competition zone, and Long Shui secretly discovered that Yun Sheng was participating in the duo matches under the name "Flame Emperor".

She then followed covertly and partnered with Long Tu, making their way into the monthly competition.

"Long Shui, I’ll go report to the master about the grouping; keep an eye on Miss Yun’s actions, and do not let Liu Qingqing and her gang try anything underhanded again," Long Tu paid attention to Yun Sheng’s movements on the side.
