Wolfe's chest throbbed violently, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood in anger.
This was not how you played the game.
"You..."
He pointed at Nangong Qianyu with a trembling finger, his face ashen, his aura erupting uncontrollably.
"What's wrong! Senior!" Nangong Qianyu said with a smile.
With this protective barrier, she was brimming with confidence.
Furthermore, there was something Wolfe and the others didn't know. While maintaining this barrier did consume the Myriad Things Qi within her, Nangong Qianyu's reserve of Myriad Things Qi might have far exceeded their imaginations.
It was no exaggeration to say that if Nangong Qianyu had been determined to stall Wolfe, she could have maintained it for a day and a night.
Therefore, Wolfe had miscalculated from the very beginning.
At this moment, Ye Ming, who had been observing, suddenly spoke. He smiled and said, "Qianyu! Stop playing around."
Ye Ming understood that if they continued like this, sending Nangong Qianyu into battle would be meaningless.
"Alright!"
Nangong Qianyu understood this as well.
Thus, when Ye Ming spoke, she immediately dispelled the protective barrier.
Seeing this, Wolfe's eyes widened slightly, disbelief etched on his face.
The opponent had been on the defensive the entire time, leaving him with no recourse. Yet, she had voluntarily abandoned her defense, presenting him with an opportunity?
The same confusion was present in Peterson's mind.
"Wolfe! Finish it quickly!"
However, it no longer mattered.
He just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.
"Good!"
This time, Wolfe held the giant blade with both hands, and a more destructive aura than before surged from his body. Even the water vapor in the air around him began to evaporate.
His power was still rising.
Seeing this, Nangong Qianyu's expression turned serious. She summoned a jade sword in each hand, letting them hang naturally as she slowly merged the energy within her into them.
She didn't know how strong the opponent's next strike would be, but she had to ensure that the energy she unleashed was superior.
Therefore, as they were continuously charged, the jade swords in her hands began to glow with a white radiance, and the color deepened further.
"Damn it! This girl..."
Ye Ming's eyelids twitched violently upon seeing this, and he almost rushed forward to stop her.
He feared that with one slash, Nangong Qianyu might cleave the entire Hope Home in two.
Fortunately, Nangong Qianyu finally stopped at this moment.
"This should be about enough!"
Nangong Qianyu assessed the power contained within the two jade swords and nodded in satisfaction.
Unbeknownst to her, Ye Ming, standing behind her, was breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Will... will everything be alright!"
Ye Ming looked at the eager Nangong Qianyu, a sense of unease gripping his heart.
This girl had not yet fully grasped the strength of energy.
Instinctively, Ye Ming's right hand, held behind his back, emitted a faint wave of energy, seemingly preparing for any eventuality.
In the arena, Wolfe had also finished charging. The giant blade in his hands had turned blood-red, radiating an intense aura of swift death.
"Fight!"
*Boom!*
Without a word, Wolfe swung his massive blade upwards, bringing it above his head. A savage glint flashed in his eyes as he brutally slashed downwards.
*Roar!*
A terrifying blade radiance erupted, accompanied by a sonic boom that tore through space. It painted the path it traversed blood-red. The destructive aura seemed capable of annihilating all life, carrying the chill of death as it hurtled towards Nangong Qianyu.
Before the colossal blade radiance, Nangong Qianyu appeared so minuscule. The intertwining of destruction and death sent a tremor through her heart.
She even felt a hint of fear.
However, the moment that fear arose, it was instantly extinguished by her invincible and resolute belief.
For she had witnessed power that was hundreds, even thousands, of times greater than the blade radiance before her.
Therefore, although Wolfe's strike was terrifying to her now, it couldn't truly instill fear in Nangong Qianyu.
Nor should it.
Otherwise, what right would she have to stand beside that majestic figure in her heart?
As this belief solidified, Nangong Qianyu's eyes, which sparkled like stars, gradually became resplendent and dazzling.
Slowly, the Myriad Things Qi flowing within her began to undergo a subtle transformation.
This change also affected the two jade swords in Nangong Qianyu's hands.
"Annihilate!"
Nangong Qianyu uttered a word almost instinctively.
As her voice fell, she brought the jade swords in her hands and lightly slashed towards the oncoming blade light.
*Swish!*
A streak of white light flashed through the entire space, and then a rift tore open. From within this rift, wisps of eerie, cold energy seeped out. Moreover, a terrifying black suction emanated from the depths of the rift, completely swallowing Wolfe's blade radiance.
From beginning to end, not a single sound was made.
The entire scene was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. People simply stared blankly at what was happening, having forgotten even to breathe.
These sights had successfully shattered their understanding of the world, leaving them in a dazed, dreamlike state.
Among them, Ye Ming was the only one still conscious within this dream.
"This is... absorption!"
His eyes widened, his breathing quickening. He even unconsciously clenched his fists. His entire body trembled.
Shock! Confusion!
Joy! Excitement!
All sorts of emotions intertwined in his mind, finally converging into a smile that was both complex and relieved.
"Qianyu! I didn't expect you to give me such a surprise!"
Ye Ming looked at Nangong Qianyu, who appeared to be in a trance, his gaze as gentle as water, filled with unspoken emotion, touching, and pity.
It had to be said that Nangong Qianyu's sudden transformation was completely beyond Ye Ming's expectations.
Initially, he had only intended for Nangong Qianyu to experience real combat, to lay some foundation for the path ahead.
But who would have thought that in this battle, driven by her unwavering belief, Nangong Qianyu would not only awaken her Origin Force?
Moreover, the awakened attribute left Ye Ming utterly astonished.
However, Ye Ming was unsure at the moment whether Nangong Qianyu's transformation was purely due to her own comprehension or a butterfly effect caused by their soul convergence.
As the fluctuations in the arena slowly subsided and the terrifying rift created by Nangong Qianyu began to close, the pervasive cold suction that had spread across the field was also withdrawn.
At this moment, all eyes met.
And the slender figure upon whom their gazes converged seemed to have lost all strength, her body tilting as she slowly fell.
However, she did not fall to the ground but instead stumbled into a warm embrace.
