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

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Lord Mosquito Wins the Champion Scholar Title! A Sudden Change? The Unexpected Fog

Inside the Secret Realm were tens of thousands of people.

Students, teachers, referees, and even the soldiers responsible for ensuring the examinees’ safety—

—every single one of them was stunned speechless, their faces frozen as if they had just seen a ghost!

What had they just seen?

What… what just happened?

Lin Feng, the one with the Innate Sword Body—so arrogant, so powerful that he drove all his peers to despair! The monster who, as a Third-Grade Early Stage, could kill a top-tier genius of the same rank with a single sword strike!

He was… by a mosquito…

Defeated in one hit?

This… what the fuck…

Isn’t this a little too surreal?

“Holy shit… Are we all caught in a group Illusion Technique?” someone muttered, unable to believe their own eyes.

“Unlikely. Based on my observations, I think…” The person next to him wore a grave expression, arriving at a very serious conclusion: “It must be the mushrooms from lunch. They weren’t cooked properly!”

“Right, right! That fucking idiot of a boss! We’re going to his shop later and demanding an explanation!”

“Yeah, yeah! What I saw definitely isn’t real! Right! It can’t be real!”

“Right, right, right! If this shit is real, I’ll eat the School Beauty’s feet on the spot, how about that?!”

“Right… wait, what?”

“…You’re not just making a bet, you’re trying to get a free meal and a prize, you son of a bitch!”

At the edge of the arena, Lin Feng lay like a crumpled heap. Every bone in his body was shattered, his meridians were severed, and he had completely lost consciousness.

In the final moments before he passed out, his mind was still frantically echoing with the absolute terror that stemmed from the depths of his soul.

’What was that?’

’What in the world was that thing?!’

’That’s not the kind of power a Third-Grade Demon Beast should possess!’

’Those fiery feathers that blotted out the sky… each one contained a terrifying power capable of easily piercing through my Protective Sword Qi!’

’My Protective Sword Qi, my greatest pride, was as fragile as a sheet of paper before that rain of death!’

’Why?’

’Why did this happen?’

’I have the Innate Sword Body!’

’I was born destined to rule over my generation, to look down upon all others! My future path leads to the stars and seas! The lowest I would ever achieve was King-level!’

’How could I… How could I lose to a mosquito?’

’And in a single hit, at that…’

’This isn’t logical… This isn’t scientific… This is impossible…’

These thoughts echoed madly in his mind like a nightmare, crushing all his pride, all his confidence, all his dignity into dust!

This was ten thousand times more painful than simply killing him!

…

In the Hidden Dragon Class’s rest area.

Everyone there was petrified, completely dumbfounded.

Huo Mingxuan’s mouth opened and closed, then opened and closed again, but he couldn’t utter a single word. His mind was buzzing.

’Lord Mosquito… is he really that strong?’

He had always thrown the name “Lord Mosquito” around, but it was mostly out of jest and admiration.

And his admiration was only for its endless array of Divine-Level support abilities.

He never dreamed that this mosquito… actually possessed such world-destroying direct combat power!

That was Lin Feng! The Innate Sword Body! The monster who could one-shot Mu Linyuan!

And just like that… he was gone?

Chu Yiran, Qin Zheng, and the others all exchanged glances.

They had previously thought the mosquito only had strong support abilities, but lacked direct combat power…

Now it seemed they were ridiculously, utterly wrong!

Support abilities, my ass!

This thing is the real fucking final boss!

Gu Yuexi must be the real hanger-on, just there to look pretty, right?!

Only Xiao Ran, after a brief moment of shock, let out a long sigh, a resigned, bitter smile appearing on his face.

’As I thought…’

’It’s exactly as I guessed!’

’The “Evil Giant Mushroom” who paralyzed the entire Fourth-Grade Early Stage bracket in the game… it’s this mosquito!’

He had still underestimated it before.

He originally thought it only had such terrifying combat power because it relied on swarm tactics.

But now it seemed…

Its own power alone was enough to easily one-shot a top-tier prodigy like Lin Feng!

…

Meanwhile, Mu Linyuan stared blankly at the scene, his expression completely frozen.

’That… What was that?’

He could clearly sense the aura emanating from the mosquito; it was a solid Third-Grade Late Stage!

But how could a Third-Grade Late Stage Demon Beast possess the power to instantly defeat Lin Feng?!

You have to understand, an ordinary Third-Grade Late Stage Demon Beast would be nothing more than one-strike fodder for Lin Feng!

’Unless…’

Mu Linyuan’s pupils constricted. An idea so absurd that even he didn’t dare believe it uncontrollably surfaced from the bottom of his heart.

’Unless… this mosquito possesses an Emperor-level Bloodline, which is above King-level!’

’But…’

’How could a White-striped Aedes Mosquito have an Emperor-level Bloodline?!’

’This defies all common sense! It defies logic! It defies the fundamental laws of all demon beast studies!’

…

Outside the Secret Realm, in the highest viewing gallery.

The Celestial Fire Governor, Zhou Qing, and the Governor of Canglan, Li Jianye, both looked as if they had been hit squarely on the head with a hammer. They were completely stunned.

They stared dumbly at the crushing scene on the screen, then glanced at Qi Chongshan beside them, who was grinning like an old fox. Their minds were a chaotic mess.

’Could it be…’

’Could it be that everything Qi Chongshan said… was true?!’

’This mosquito really is the “Divine Beast” that solved the Spirit-Devouring Insect Calamity?!’

“HAHAHAHAHA!”

Qi Chongshan couldn’t hold it in any longer, bursting into a deafening roar of laughter, laughing so hard that tears nearly streamed from his eyes.

“How about it? Old Zhou! Old Li!”

He slapped their shoulders smugly, his face beaming with triumph. “What did I tell you? The real show is just getting started, isn’t it? So tell me, wasn’t that a spectacular performance!”

“Now, do you still think this year’s Champion Scholar has nothing to do with our Sui Ming Province?”

Zhou Qing’s and Li Jianye’s faces turned green, the corners of their mouths twitching uncontrollably as they were left speechless.

The facts were laid bare before them. What else could they say?

Their provinces’ most prideful monster couldn’t even withstand a single move from that mosquito!

How the hell were they supposed to compete with that?!

Although they were so frustrated they felt like vomiting blood, they had to admit that in this year’s tri-province examination, they were… utterly and convincingly defeated.

This human-and-mosquito duo from Sui Ming Province wasn’t even human! They were two absolute, through-and-through monsters!

“Alright, Old Qi, stop laughing. We concede!” Li Jianye said, his face dark as he waved his hand irritably. “Just have the referee announce the results! I can’t stand watching this anymore!”

“Exactly! Just end it! I don’t want to stay here for another minute!” Zhou Qing also wore a look of utter displeasure.

Watching their province’s genius get crushed like an ant… the feeling was simply too suffocating!

Qi Chongshan knew when to quit while he was ahead. He stopped provoking them, nodded with a smile, and picked up his communicator, preparing to have the chief referee in the Secret Realm announce the end of the competition.

Back in the Secret Realm, Mu Linyuan’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

He stood there, utterly dejected, his eyes vacant as he muttered to himself nonstop.

’It’s over…’

’It’s all over…’

’The Champion Scholar title is gone…’

’Now, even second place is gone…’

’Does that mean… I can only get third?’

He couldn’t imagine what kind of ridicule and scorn would await him when he returned to Hong Kong Island—to that cold family of his—with the title of “Third Place in the Tri-Province Examination.”

His high-and-mighty older brother would look at him with such disappointed eyes.

His indifferent father probably wouldn’t even think he was worth a second glance, right?

For the sake of becoming the Champion Scholar, to prove to everyone that he was no worse than his older brother, he had given up the comfortable life and special privileges of Hong Kong Island. He had come to this godforsaken inland province and poured out countless drops of sweat and effort.

He had thought this was just the first step of his legendary life, an easy starting point.

But now…

His life had stumbled before it had even begun!

And he had stumbled so completely, so laughably!

Mu Linyuan felt his vision go dark as an immense sense of despair washed over him like a tidal wave, completely submerging him.

However, just as the chief referee was about to step onto the arena to announce the final result,

—the unexpected happened!

WHOOSH—

A strange, dense gray fog with a faintly sweet, metallic scent appeared from nowhere. As if it were alive, it instantly swept across the entire plains of the Secret Realm!
