The fires of the underworld rose, clearly a blaze filling the sky, yet it made people feel incomparably cold. Many couldn't help but shiver.

Black ice crystals formed beneath Zuo Yu's feet. Since she was exposed, she simply stopped pretending!

"Embrace of Netherflame!"

The firelight spread, instantly covering Zuo Yu's entire body.

An Liya wasn't idle either; she nocked another arrow.

Just as Zuo Yu prepared to rush forward, a large hand pressed down on her shoulder.

Qiao Yu's voice rang out beside her.

"Don't worry, with me here, it's not your turn to risk your life!"

"Qiao Yu…" Zuo Yu hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'm not acting rashly. I'm very calm right now. I just don't want to see you get hurt anymore!"

"Qiao Yu…" Zuo Yu hesitated again.

"Believe me, Zuo Yu, let me be the one to shield you from the wind and rain!"

"No... Qiao Yu, I wanted to ask, aren't you afraid of burning your hand?" Zuo Yu finally voiced her question.

"Huh?"

Qiao Yu was stunned upon hearing this, and then he realized that Zuo Yu was covered in Netherflame!

"Ah, crap!"

Qiao Yu quickly retracted his hand. He had personally experienced the power of Netherflame in the dungeon before. If it weren't for the Seed of the Underworld devouring the flames, he would have become a one-armed hero.

However, this time, after Qiao Yu withdrew his hand, he found that his hand was completely fine!

Zuo Yu's eyes were also full of surprise. The characteristic of Netherflame was that it couldn't be extinguished at all. Once it was touched, it would burn everything it came into contact with. Why was Qiao Yu okay?

"Strange…" Qiao Yu, not believing it, stretched his hand back out, only to find that Netherflame not only didn't burn him, but instead danced on his fingertips like a happy little sprite.

Qiao Yu and Zuo Yu exchanged glances, but neither knew the answer.

"Forget it, I'll go deal with that woman first. We'll find a deserted place later to study what's going on!"

Qiao Yu simply stopped thinking about it; he would finish the finals first!

He picked up the two-meter-long Zhulong Crescent Moon Blade and charged towards An Liya with a fierce aura.

"Awaken, answer that breaks through the ice! Second arrow, Ice Extremes!"

At the same time, an arrow filled with chill left An Liya's hand.

Then the second arrow was placed on the longbow. An Liya's idea was good. She planned to use Ice Extremes to freeze Qiao Yu first, giving herself more time to gather strength.

But ideals were grand, reality was harsh, and the reality before An Liya was extremely harsh.

Her Ice Extremes arrow froze not Qiao Yu, but a pitiful little skeleton!

An Liya was shocked! Her archery skills were one in a million, and she couldn't possibly miss. What was going on?

"This beautiful young lady, are you looking for me?" Qiao Yu's kind voice rang out from behind An Liya.

An Liya didn't have time to think and immediately fired an arrow backwards.

Sure enough, a terrifying great blade directly chopped down on her head. The arrow she shot hit the blade, causing the direction of the chop to deviate, and then it heavily struck the arena next to her.

Boom!

This blade made the entire arena shake. An Liya's pretty face paled. If she hadn't reacted quickly enough, she probably would have lost her soul from this blow.

She couldn't understand why Qiao Yu would suddenly appear behind her.

"Escape? Can you escape?"

Qiao Yu raised his hand, and the Corpse Ancestor Ring activated forcefully. An Liya's already slow speed became even slower.

"State of Enlightenment!"

Qiao Yu swung his blade again. Helpless, An Liya could only raise her longbow to block.

Clang!

The crescent moon blade and the longbow collided, emitting a burst of metallic sound.

An Liya couldn't withstand Qiao Yu's great strength at all. The longbow in her hand was directly sent flying, spinning around in the air before falling next to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu picked it up and his eyes immediately lit up. The longbow in An Liya's hand was definitely a good thing! His full-force strike didn't even leave a scratch on the bow!

"Just give up." Qiao Yu shook his head, but he didn't bother to continue.

An Liya's remaining three teammates were all kicked off by Zuo Yu, and the unarmed An Liya had no combat ability at all.

Qiao Yu couldn't bring himself to hit a woman.

"Give me back the Wrath of the Gods!" An Liya hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation and reached out to Qiao Yu to demand her longbow.

"Wrath of the Gods? What a great name!" Qiao Yu smiled and nodded, then inconspicuously hid the longbow behind his back.

An Liya couldn't sit still upon seeing this. The Wrath of the Gods was extremely important to her!

"Give it back! You're not allowed to touch my bow!"

An Liya reached out to snatch it back. She had never seen such a shameless person.

You must know that An Liya grew up on Mount Olympus, and all she came into contact with were a group of respected old men.

After coming down the mountain, due to her noble goddess status and beautiful appearance, every man she met was respectful to her. There were countless people who wanted to please her with gifts. This was the first time An Liya had encountered someone who stole her things!

"Hey, hey, hey! There's an old saying in our Great Xia Kingdom that men and women shouldn't touch hands! I advise you to respect yourself!" Qiao Yu's brow furrowed slightly as he raised the longbow over his head.

"No! Give me back the bow!"

An Liya was tall, and Qiao Yu's trick might work against Zuo Yu, but it was obviously not enough to deal with An Liya.

An Liya stood on tiptoe and directly grabbed the Wrath of the Gods longbow.

And the moment An Liya's hand touched the longbow, the longbow suddenly lit up. Then Qiao Yu felt that what he was holding was not a longbow, but a hot branding iron!

The terrifying temperature instantly burned Qiao Yu's palm, and the smell of roasted meat wafted out.

"Weapon Spirit!"

Qiao Yu immediately realized that a weapon spirit must have awakened in this Wrath of the Gods! And this weapon spirit was rejecting him!

Then Qiao Yu's expression became even more excited! Awakened weapon spirit meant that this Wrath of the Gods was at least a Grade A weapon that had been enhanced seven times, or even possibly... Grade S!

Qiao Yu looked at An Liya's elf-like, beautiful face and sighed.

"Ah! What a pity for such a stunning beauty who could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky~"

An Liya didn't realize what was happening. The next second...

Bang!

A fist as big as a casserole slammed heavily into her smooth, slender abdomen like a hammer!

An Liya opened her mouth wide, tears welling up in pain, but she couldn't make a sound, like a fish dying of thirst.

The entire Jing University stadium, along with the people watching the live broadcast, stood up involuntarily at that moment!

Shen Jianshu directly crushed the thermos in his hand!

An Liya, who walked down from Mount Olympus, the revered goddess of the Western Alliance, had been punched?

How dare this kid do that?
