Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: After an 18-Game Winning Streak, Matched with a Big Mushroom?

Meanwhile, in the battle room of the player with the ID [Newbie Seeking Company].

[Match Eighteen. Victor: Newbie Seeking Company!]

[Eighteen consecutive wins!]

The game system’s cold voice rang out above the arena.

BOOM—!!!

Accompanied by a violent explosion of Energy.

Mu Chen’s eighteenth opponent, a Fourth-Grade Middle Stage Martial Artist with the ID [Hong Kong Island Sword Saint], was run through the chest by a spear, his body dissipating into streams of data.

An eighteen-win streak!

The entire spectator section erupted!

Mu Linyuan watched the scene unfold, completely stunned. His mind went blank, and he was almost unable to think.

’He… he won?’

’His brother… at the Fourth-Grade Early Stage… actually defeated a Top-Notch, Fourth-Grade Middle Stage genius head-on?!’

’That wasn’t just any ordinary Fourth-Grade Middle Stage opponent!’

Mu Linyuan had heard of that [Hong Kong Island Sword Saint]. He was a core disciple from a top-tier family on Hong Kong Island, strong enough to rank in the top twenty of his entire generation there!

’And the result?’

’Before his brother, he still lost! Although it was a difficult victory, Mu Chen had won in the end!’

’This… What kind of terrifying Cross-Level Combat Ability is this?!’

A deep sense of powerlessness washed over Mu Linyuan.

After reaching the Middle-Grade Realm in one’s Cultivation, the gap between each minor realm was as vast as a chasm.

Those who could fight across a single minor realm were already considered peerless prodigies, exceedingly rare finds.

’And yet his own brother could cross a minor realm to defeat a long-famous Top-Notch genius who was also capable of Cross-Level Combat?’

’He’s not a genius anymore, he’s a monster! A freak of nature!’

In the spectator section, the players from all over the country were in an uproar.

“Holy shit! He won! That guy Mu Chen really won! A Fourth-Grade Early Stage beating a Fourth-Grade Middle Stage… that’s fucking ridiculous!”

“With this kind of strength… he could probably secure a spot in the top ten among this year’s sophomores at Jing University, right?”

“Top ten? Isn’t that a stretch? There are quite a few freaks in this sophomore class!”

Hearing the gasps of amazement all around him.

Mu Linyuan’s knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists.

’He’s already this strong… and at Jing University, he can only barely make the top ten of his year?’

’Just what kind of lion’s den is Jing University? What kind of monsters have gathered there?!’

In truth, his goal had never been to become the Champion Scholar of some tri-provincial exam.

In his eyes, achieving the title of Champion Scholar at that level was child’s play; it was something he could do easily, and something he felt he *had* to do.

It was only to prove to his family that he, just like his brother back then, could get into Jing University as a Champion Scholar! That he was no worse than his brother!

His true goal was to get into Jing University, surpass his brother, and claim a spot in the top three of his year!

’But now…’

Gazing at that god-like, demonic figure in the arena, a profound sense of powerlessness washed over Mu Linyuan’s heart.

’His brother is already this powerful… can I really… ever catch up to him?’

’Top three of my year at Jing University?’

’That goal now sounded like a complete fantasy!’

Just then, the game system issued another notification.

[Player Newbie Seeking Company has achieved an eighteen-win streak! He is about to break the highest consecutive win record for a Fourth-Grade Early Stage Martial Artist in the ’Infinite Challenge’!]

[Just one more victory, and a new record will be set!]

The atmosphere in the arena was instantly pushed to a climax!

Mu Linyuan temporarily suppressed his complex thoughts and watched the arena with bated breath.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in the seat next to him, and a tall, aloof figure materialized out of thin air.

It was a silver-haired woman with the ID [Han Yue]. She wore a plain white Martial Dao uniform that accentuated her slender and graceful figure. Her face was stunningly beautiful, but her eyes held an icy coldness that kept everyone at a distance.

’It’s her!’

Mu Linyuan recognized her at a glance. This [Han Yue] was the holder of the previous win-streak record for a Fourth-Grade Early Stage Martial Artist!

Rumor had it that she was also a student at Capital City University, currently a senior, and already a Fifth-Grade Middle Stage Martial Artist.

At the same time, she was one of the widely acknowledged School Beauties. Her real-life appearance was said to be even more stunning than her in-game avatar, making her the goddess of countless Jing University students’ dreams.

’She came to watch too?’

’Did she know her record was about to be broken, so she came here just to watch?’

Mu Linyuan’s heart stirred. He had long admired this legendary senior.

He quickly moved closer, trying to start a conversation. “Um… Senior Han Yue, I’ve heard so much about you. I…”

Before he could finish, a cold system notification box popped up in front of him.

[Player Han Yue has muted your voice function.]

Mu Linyuan: “…”

’She’s *that* cold?’

Meanwhile, in the center of the arena, Mu Chen looked at the matchmaking panel before him, his brow furrowed slightly.

The last battle had seemed easy on the surface, but it was actually fraught with danger. He hadn’t won easily at all.

’The system will definitely match me with an even stronger Fourth-Grade Middle Stage opponent next, and I’m not certain I can win.’

’To ensure I break the record without any chance of failure…’

After a moment’s hesitation, he reached out and changed the opponent type in the matchmaking settings from “Human Martial Artist” to “Contracted Beast.”

This small action instantly caused Han Yue, who was in the spectator section, to let out a barely perceptible scoff.

A flicker of disappointment and disdain flashed through her eyes.

’He’s actually choosing to match with a Contracted Beast?’

’Everyone knew that in Spirit Martial Eternity, when you matched with a Contracted Beast, you were always paired with some poor creature that its Master had dumped into the automated battle function.’

’Those Contracted Beasts were either wild and unruly, or they were too weak and needed to be trained.’

’Most importantly, without their Master’s commands and coordination, a Contracted Beast fighting alone would be lucky to unleash even seventy percent of its true power.’

’Against a beast of the same realm, a Human Martial Artist fighting a Contracted Beast on auto-battle was almost guaranteed to win.’

’This person… is actually trying to use such an opportunistic trick to break my record?’

’How… pathetic.’

Han Yue shook her head, finding the whole thing dull. A record broken through such a cheap trick—what value could it possibly hold? It was nothing but self-deception.

She prepared to get up and leave.

But just then, the matchmaking… began!

[DING! Match successful!]

[Transporting opponent…]

A pillar of light descended from the sky, landing opposite Mu Chen.

Everyone in the spectator section, including Han Yue who had been about to leave, instinctively looked over.

The light faded, revealing a figure that no one in the entire arena could have possibly expected.

It was a…

…a big, cute mushroom, entirely pink, eighteen centimeters long, and crowned with a plump, round cap!

The arena fell deathly silent.

Everyone was dumbfounded, their jaws hanging slack.

What the fuck is that thing???

Then, when the system displayed the detailed information for both combatants, the entire arena absolutely erupted!

[ID: The Only Beast Taming Empress in Ancient and Modern Times’s Contracted Beast]

[Realm: Third-Grade Late Stage]
