Chapter 63 Chapter 63 "A magical, shining...

At the same time, Meng Yanlang, standing across from him, also saw Jiang Qing and Zhu Tianba clearly. A complex expression flashed across his face, which always exuded confidence.

At first there was surprise and confusion, but then it was quickly replaced by a deep feeling of "I understand".

He touched his chin, his eyes swept over the three shabby free props in Jiang Qing's prop column, then looked at Jiang Qing's "unlucky" expression, and finally his eyes fell on Zhu Tianba, who had a restrained aura and calm eyes.

The undead rat squeaked softly, rubbed Meng Yanlang's trouser leg, and looked at Zhu Tianba vigilantly.

【The battle begins.】

The system prompt sounded.

Meng Yanlang didn't attack immediately. Instead, he crossed his arms, a smile that said, "I've seen through everything." His tone was filled with admiration, "Sure enough... unfathomable."

Jiang Qing: “???”

In her confusion, she subconsciously commanded, "Tianba, first gain distance and observe the enemy."

Zhu Tianba nodded and did as he was told. His figure flashed, and the surrounding space fluctuated slightly. He took Jiang Qing and retreated more than ten meters lightly, his eyes calmly locked on the undead rat opposite.

Seeing this, Meng Yanlang's eyes deepened with understanding. He continued to speak to Jiang Qing, as if interpreting some extraordinary tactic, "Using the most insignificant free item, matching it with the lowest amount of blockade, and deliberately choosing me..."

He paused, his voice lowered. "Are you deliberately trying to paralyze me? Show weakness to the enemy? Make me cautious because my opponent is you, but also feel confused and contemptuous because of these props and bets, thus revealing flaws in my complex emotions?"

"You are indeed a master." After the analysis, Meng Yanlang's eyes brightened a little.

"If that's the case," Meng Yanlang suddenly said, cupping his fists. "I beg for your abuse and education."

Jiang Qing: “…”

She opened her mouth and found that she couldn't say a word.

Brother, can you not put on so much drama?

I really just clicked the wrong button! And it was you who broadcast the call for newbies!

The viewing area was also temporarily quiet, and then the barrage of comments floated by again:

"Isn't this Meng Yanlang from the Guard? I heard he's very powerful, but why does his brain seem so..."

"What tactics is he interpreting? Why do I only see a confused Jiang Qing and her pig?"

"Is this the world of the strong? They're already playing mind games before the fight even begins?"

“…”

Meng Yanlang was completely immersed in his own imagination. He nodded solemnly to Jiang Qing: "I will give it my all to show my respect for you."

"Shadow, sneak, and whisper sadly!" Meng Yanlang gave an order.

The gray undead rat's body instantly became blurred, like ink blending into water, and disappeared silently on the spot, with even its breath almost undetectable.

A faint, distracting, and low chirping sound began to echo in the field, directly affecting the concentration of the beastmaster and the spirit pet.

This is also the difficulty of the undead rat. It can hide and cause mental interference.

Jiang Qing suddenly felt as if his head was covered by a veil, and his command thoughts became stagnant.

Zhu Tianba also shook his head irritably, his perception being affected to a certain extent.

The golden light shield can only block physical attacks, but it cannot stop direct threats to the mind like this one.

Jiang Qing frowned and forced himself to cheer up.

Without waiting for Jiang Qing's order, Zhu Tianba directly used [Town] to suppress the area.

Zhu Tianba hummed softly, and an invisible force field spread out from it. Although it couldn't directly catch the perfectly hidden undead rat, it greatly slowed down its movement speed and weakened the effect of [Sad Whisper] to a certain extent.

The gleam in Meng Yanlang's eyes deepened, as if confirming something: "Sure enough, Shadow, use Ghost Assault!"

A very light gray shadow was like a ghost. It slowed down the moment of the town's suppression and suddenly pounced on Zhu Tianba's neck from an extremely tricky angle.

It was so fast that only a trace of shadow remained, and its claws flashed with a soul-eroding light.

"On the left rear side, the space is folding." Jiang Qing said hurriedly to Zhu Tianba.

Zhu Tianba reacted extremely quickly, his figure blurred in an instant, disappeared from the spot, and appeared five meters away.

The undead rat's attack missed, and it landed lightly on the ground, blending into the shadows again.

"Incredible reaction speed, accurate prediction!" Meng Yanlang praised loudly, not knowing whether he was praising Jiang Qing or putting pressure on himself. "But how many times can you dodge? Undead Rat, split afterimage!"

Suddenly, three or four identical "undead rats" appeared on the field, all emitting a faint aura of death, all moving swiftly, launching feint attacks and real attacks from different directions at the same time, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

"It's this trick again!" Jiang Qing remembered the last time he fought against the Wind Wolf's clone, but this one from the Undead Rat was obviously more advanced, with a mind-confusing effect.

Zhu Tianba's perception was disturbed again, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

Meng Yanlang smiled confidently, thinking that victory was in his grasp.

Jiang Qing gritted his teeth and decided to try his luck. He quickly took out the [a shining stone] from the prop bar and without even taking aim, he swung it towards the place where the undead rat clones were the most.

The dazzling light burst out again.

"squeak?!"

The shrill cry of rats suddenly rang out.

The clones of those undead rats essentially rely on shadows and spiritual energy. When they were illuminated by this sudden strong light full of "positive energy", they instantly twisted and dissipated like snow encountering the scorching sun.

Even its real body was dodged and forced to reveal itself from its hidden state. It covered its eyes and squeaked. It was obvious that the blinding effect had a greater impact on it than on the Earth Fire Sandshovel Beast.

The confident smile on Meng Yanlang's face froze. "The free props... are actually... not a cover-up? You even know that my undead rats are afraid of bright light and mental shocks. Did you plan to use this to break my concealment and clones? You even calculated that I would use this trick?!"

His worldview seemed to be impacted, but it soon turned into extreme shock at Jiang Qing's "far-sightedness".

Jiang Qing: “…” No, I don’t know, I just threw it randomly… and the instructions for this stone don’t mention this effect!

Zhu Tianba doesn't care what the other party thinks. He seizes the opportunity when the enemy is blinded and stunned and launches a counterattack instantly.

"Rock ledge!"

"The earth is shaking!"

Several sharp stone spikes emerged from the undead rat's feet, and the ground shook violently, making it impossible for it to stand firm and dodge.

Immediately afterwards, the diamond-shaped mark on Zhu Tianba's forehead lit up, and a small space cage took shape instantly, completely trapping the dizzy undead rat in place.

The battle is over.

[The battle is over. Congratulations to 'No Money to Eat' for winning.]

[Points +10, Current Points: 96]

The system prompt sounded.

Meng Yanlang stood there, looking at the undead rat trapped in the space cage and rubbing its eyes. He then looked at Jiang Qing, who was standing opposite him with a confused look on her face as if to ask, "I won already?" and the dull stone in her hand.

He was silent for a full five seconds.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Qing with extremely complicated eyes. There was shock and frustration in them, but more of it was a kind of "understanding" that was almost worshipful.

He took a long, deep breath, and said solemnly in a solemn and respectful tone, "I lose, and I admit it wholeheartedly. You used your tactics and psychological game to the extreme, even luck... No, this is definitely not luck, this is also part of your calculation!"

He solemnly clasped his fists towards Jiang Qing and said, "I look forward to fighting you again! Next time, I won't be fooled by your 'tactics'!"

After saying that, he put away the undead rat, and before his figure turned into a point of light and disappeared, he gave Jiang Qing a deep look that said "I understand you".

Jiang Qing held Zhu Tianba in his arms and the useless bright stone, standing there, looking disheveled in the wind.

The audience barrage also exploded:

"What the hell? Win again?"

"Free prop artifact!"

"Has Meng Yanlang been beaten silly? What is he talking about?"

"I don't seem to understand the world of the strong anymore..."

"Jiang Qing: I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"

"This time, this time, Dihua's imagination defeated his strength!"

Zhu Tianba looked up at the bewildered Jiang Qing and grunted twice, "Jiang Qing, he seems... not very smart?"

Jiang Qing nodded in agreement. Looking at the extra 10 points in his account, he felt mixed emotions. "Although the process was a bit baffling...never mind. As long as I win, it's fine."

The two matches attracted countless spectators from the preparation area. In order not to be treated like a monkey, Jiang Qing quietly withdrew from the prop game.

Jiang Qing left.

The crowd couldn't find her and gave up.

Under her leadership, Luo Zhen and Meng Yanlang both started using free props. After this incident, a wave of free props craze swept the prop competition.

......

Jiang Qing certainly didn't know all this. After playing for a few days and playing with Zhu Tianba in the training room for a while, Jiang Qing went back to the dormitory to sleep.

Early the next morning, Jiang Qing took several orders on the forum. After helping people complete the tasks and receiving the rewards, she smiled happily.

She was able to experience Yuan Xiaogu's happiness more and more.

Jiang Qing didn't know how much it cost to raise a spirit beast, but when she entered the combat department's training ground today, she found that the atmosphere in the class was very strange. Everyone had an irrepressible expectation on their faces.

What is it?

There were several hundred students from three classes A, B, and C in the training ground, all with excitement on their faces. Jiang Qing secretly glanced at the class monitor Zuo Ye and found that even a calm and composed man like Zuo Ye could not hide his excitement on his face.

Zhao Peng was even more exaggerated. This guy circled around the trainer, muttering constantly, "Iron Armor, Iron Armor, fight for your honor! Don't let me down today. If the key can touch that thing, I'll give you extra meals on the rooftop in the future and feed you the best concentrated feed!"

The armored bull snorted, pawed the ground with its hooves, and nodded its huge head very diligently and honestly, but there was a hint of confusion in its eyes about its master's rare nervousness and excitement.

Jiang Qing looked at the atmosphere in the room, which was like a large-scale star-chasing event, and was puzzled. She leaned over to look at the calmest squad leader Zuo Ye and asked quietly, "Squad leader, what's going on? Why are you all so excited?"

Zuo Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm the excitement in his eyes, but the slightly shining light in his eyes still betrayed him.

He patted the Black Tortoise beside him, which had been listless for a thousand years, and whispered, "According to reliable sources, that person will come to give us guidance today."

"Who?" Jiang Qing was even more confused. "Who?"

It was worth the anticipation of thousands of people from the three classes of the combat department. Even an excellent student like Zuo Ye couldn't contain his excitement?

Zuo Ye glanced at her, as if a little surprised that she didn't know, but still explained: "It's Ji Changsu, our Principal Ji!"

"The only Beast Tamer who has reached the maximum Heavenly Rank, with all ten innate skills activated. He possesses the superb 'Layer Combat Technique' that can decide the outcome with a single strike." Zuo Ye paused and said, "Let me explain this to you. Two-thirds of the students who enroll in the Fifth Beast Taming Academy are there for Ji Changsu."

"So powerful?" Jiang Qing raised his eyebrows.

Her classmates didn’t know that Principal Ji Changsu gave her one-on-one training last semester. I wonder what they would think if they knew that she enjoyed a week of one-on-one training from the principal?

Jiang Qing was thinking when there was suddenly a more obvious commotion at the entrance of the training ground.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him instantly.
