Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 380: Chapter 284: Ye Qiu’s Strength

Under the gaze of everyone, Ye Xing slowly stepped out.

He was somewhat surprised by Ye Qiu’s choice to select him.

As the captain of the Juxing Team and one of the Top Ten Glory All-Stars players, Ye Xing’s comprehensive strength and popularity are regarded as the best in the alliance.

In previous new star challenges, it wasn’t unheard of for people to choose to challenge All-Star players, but such examples were rare.

Before Ye Qiu, there were a total of 32 new star challenges, but only three challenged the Top Ten All-Stars.

Generally, new stars don’t choose to challenge All-Star players. Although the result is the same, the new star’s purpose is to showcase their strength, naturally choosing a slightly weaker professional player according to their fighting profession, as well as Demon Spirit and attribute advantages.

All-Star players are too strong, even if their strength is suppressed, new stars don’t have much opportunity to show their strength.

Ye Xing, profession Berserker, refined the 46th-ranked Frenzied Giant Beast, with a combat style that is berserk and passionate.

In the face of his Second Frenzy, opponents can only dodge and attack from a distance. Very few can confront him directly, thus he is known as the alliance’s number one warrior.

And Ye Qiu, refined the 17th-ranked Thorny Demon Dragon. At this moment, after demon transformation, his whole body is covered with dragon scales. The surface of the scales is spiked, enough to prove the terror of the Demon Spirit.

As a pure Dragon Type Demon Spirit, besides a strong physique and defense, it also possesses powerful Magic Series damage. Ye Qiu’s profession, apart from being a warrior, can also choose Combat Mage.

The duel between two powerful warriors who refined Earth Chart Demon Spirits is bound to cause a sensation.

Ye Qiu, Lin Feng, Yun Kai, Zhang Tianyu, Huang Tianze, these five people were already the most anticipated stars among the audience.

”You are very confident!”

Twenty meters apart, Ye Xing said to Ye Qiu.

In his view, if Ye Qiu wanted to showcase his strength and talent, he should choose a Magic Series profession or a melee profession, but it’s impossible to choose him.

But the fact is indeed surprising.

Ye Xing clearly remembers that two years ago, when Lin Feng and Ye Qiu were nationally renowned, a lead team member asked him: ”Brother Ye, if your Frenzied Giant Beast and Thorny Demon Dragon confront head-on, who would win?”

At that time, he did not give an accurate answer.

It’s not modesty, but he genuinely didn’t know.

Under suppressed power conditions, he also lacked confidence.

There is a seven-year age gap between him and Ye Qiu. When Ye Qiu entered the alliance, he had long retired. In his eyes, the two would not have the opportunity to face off, but he never thought that the opportunity would come merely two years later.

Looking at Ye Qiu’s demon-transformed appearance, even he showed a slightly serious gaze.

”Roar!”

Facing the intimidation of the Divine Level Demon Spirit, Ye Xing didn’t hold back. Accompanied by a roar, he also entered the demon transformation state.

A strong white light erupted from Ye Xing’s body, muscles began to surge, body size expanded and grew larger, arms and thighs extremely robust, muscles appeared extremely pronounced, akin to small hills, exceedingly strong.

Alongside the continuous sound of bones cracking and popping, Ye Xing’s body abruptly elevated, shoulders wide and round, towering at two and a half meters, akin to a small giant.

His face swelled somewhat, eye sockets slightly sunken, brown eyes held a trace of frenzy, two exposed canine teeth, akin to tusks, made his already oppressing look appear even more ferocious and daunting. After Ye Xing’s demon transformation, the stage carried an intense heat and frenzy.

The audience couldn’t feel this pressure, but Ye Qiu could distinctly sense it. His complexion slightly changed before Ye Xing’s demon transformation, without any hesitation, he flashed directly in front of Ye Xing, dark flames igniting his fists, sharp black thorns pierced skin, akin to a spiked club, aggressively swung out.

Facing Ye Qiu’s approach, Ye Xing had no intention of evading. His fist tightly clenched, slightly lowered, and he aimed a punch intending to confront head-on.

”Ye Qiu!”

”Ye Xing!”

”Ye Xing!”

The audience cheered madly. Two types of Earth Chart Demon Spirits, once engaged in combat, planned to confront head-on, directly blowing up the atmosphere on site.

Not just the audience, even some King Level warriors were very interested in this battle.

Under the watchful eyes, both punched fist-to-fist, sparks flew, accompanied by metallic clashing sounds, Ye Xing stood still, Ye Qiu retreated two steps, sharply stomped the ground, then halted.

The Frenzied Giant Beast, after all, is a Demon Spirit that amplifies power, even under suppressed strength, the physique holds absolute advantage.

Though Ye Qiu was knocked back with a punch, Ye Xing’s gaze also turned somewhat serious, lifting his arm, only to see the fist covered in Profound Iron, surface slightly scalding, and already dented into a conical shape.

Pushed back with a punch, Ye Qiu’s fist trembled slightly, yet he did not cease attacking. His body rotated, thorn-covered dragon tail whipped like a lash towards Ye Xing’s legs, air emitting a piercing whistle.

Ye Xing grabbed the dragon tail, the massive impact causing him to slightly retreat. The sharp thorns were somewhat difficult to control. Just as he gripped the dragon tail tightly with both hands, the tail swung Ye Qiu up into the air, preparing to smash him hard to the ground. At that moment, the thorns on the dragon tail suddenly extended, slipping from his grasp. Simultaneously, Ye Qiu, spinning like a top, descended towards him, forcing Ye Xing to retreat for the first time.

Known for his combat style of frontal assault and directly overwhelming opponents with power, Ye Xing found himself repeatedly dodging when faced with the thorn-covered Ye Qiu, who resembled a porcupine. He had no effective response.

”If only I had a weapon, it would be better.”

As Ye Qiu pressed him step by step, Ye Xing thought to himself while dodging.

Facing Ye Qiu barehanded was clearly at a disadvantage. If not for the first soul skill that enabled his fists to be covered with Profound Iron, he would never confront Ye Qiu head-on.

In the audience, seeing Ye Xing dodge repeatedly and seemingly helpless, many people were surprised.

It wasn’t just the audience; even the executives of numerous clubs felt the same. What was initially thought to be a crushing defeat now appeared to be an evenly matched battle.

”No wonder it’s a Divine Level Demon Spirit, truly lives up to its reputation.”

Jiang Jun looked at Ye Qiu’s figure, a hint of yearning in his eyes as he marveled.

”In so many years, except for those first two years after entering the league, I’ve never seen Ye Xing so passive.”

Elder Jiang expressed his surprise.

Although Ye Xing had suppressed his power, even so, relying on the advantages of the Demon Spirit and his combat experience, there were not many in the same realm who could contend with him, let alone confront him directly. That Ye Xing had to dodge was enough to demonstrate Ye Qiu’s strength.

No wonder he is the super genius ranked 5th on the New Talent Glory Chart, indeed remarkable.

”It’s time to get serious.”

Jiang Jun said as he watched the two on the field with anticipation.

Previously, the two had planned to rely on the Demon Spirit itself for confrontation and had each used their weakest soul skill. Now at an impasse, neither could overcome the other, they certainly wouldn’t limit their soul skills any longer.

Ye Qiu’s performance, as it caused waves of cheers from the crowd, also brought a sense of pride to the members of the Great Wall Team.

After sealing a technique, Ye Qiu became stronger. Considering the future, he was promoted from a substitute to a main player on the team, for which the coach bore significant pressure. Now Ye Qiu was shining exceedingly brightly, proving his decision correct.

”Brother Feng, Ye Qiu is so strong! No wonder he’s a genius as famed as you.”

In the team, Little Sister Dong exclaimed.

Ye Xing’s strength is so formidable, and Ye Qiu holding his ground truly commands admiration.

Previous challenges by the new stars against professional players seemed intense, with attacks exchanging back and forth, but in fact, the new stars were being crushed, and the professional players appeared relaxed and casual.

Even when suppressing power and strength, the professional player’s combat experience and physical advantages far exceeded the new stars. It wasn’t an equal confrontation, often akin to the strong bullying the weak.

If it weren’t for the professional players’ courtesy that allowed the new stars a chance to showcase themselves, the battles would end quickly, possibly even in an instant.

This was essentially just a performance, satisfying the audience while being boring to the strong.

Ye Qiu is the first from the thirteen teams to face a professional player without being outmatched, which not only boosted the team’s confidence but also made the professional players slightly more alert, shedding their nonchalant attitudes.

”If it were me, would I be able to handle it?”

Some professional players asked themselves, their expressions turning a bit grim.

Under the condition of suppressing power and soul skills, they might honestly not be the opponent. Losing to a new star would be profoundly embarrassing.

”Indeed, this kid is excessively formidable.”

Yu Qiao also exclaimed.

If it were him facing Ye Qiu, he’d likely be at a loss. In the Demon Transformation state, Ye Qiu’s offense was formidable and his defense perfect, like a porcupine, leaving an Assassin with no starting point!

In the Jade Seal Spatial Gate, though Ye Qiu’s performance was noteworthy, due to the chaotic nature of the environment, and with Lin Feng and Yun Kai present, he didn’t stand out, even getting captured by the alien race while rescuing others, putting him in a very sorry situation.

Now in a one-on-one challenge, he finally shows his true strength.

”This is just the beginning.”

Lin Feng looked at Ye Qiu and said calmly.

A Divine Level Demon Spirit, especially of such a high level, it’s only strange if it’s not strong.

Although Ye Qiu is incredibly talented, he has only absorbed the Demon Spirit for two years, so his strength is not yet formidable. In the coming years, as the Demon Spirit grows stronger, and as his soul skills and combat system are perfected, that’s when he’ll truly shine.
