Chapter 150 Red and Blue
Inside the vast arena, the childhood sweethearts stood in the center circle, less than a meter apart.
Lin Feiyan and Meng Yanqing stood facing each other, one on the left and one on the right.
This battle was of great significance to them.
It's not just a bet on the surface; it carries many other meanings that are hard to explain or articulate.
Lin Feiyan said with a smile, "Why don't you let your teammates go first? Maybe they can wear me down a bit?"
"Although we agreed it would be a one-on-one fight, I don't mind using such little tricks."
Meng Yanqing retorted irritably, "Do you think I'm a Border Collie?"
The only weakness of Perfect Return is its long wind-up. At this point, thinking of using weak enemies with almost zero threat to deplete Lin Feiyan's stamina is no different from letting Rayquaza stack Dragon Dance.
Based on this, both sides can only field their strongest players in the starting lineup; there is no other option.
Whoever wins this match will advance the team.
This is the meaning of "the first battle is the decisive battle".
Meng Yanqing's answer made Lin Feiyan realize that her childhood sweetheart had also figured this out.
Lin Feiyan smiled slightly and said, "It seems you're not going to let me use the 'Return to Sheath' technique so easily, Xiao Qing?"
The Iron Blood Arena map is a pure speed-attack map where the battle begins the moment the countdown ends.
As mentioned before, Perfect Sheath requires a long wind-up, and during that wind-up, there is only a little bit of defensive ability, which is not enough to withstand or ignore attacks with too much damage.
Meng Yanqing retorted, not to be outdone, "Same to you!"
Lin Feiyan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, rolled her eyes at Meng Yanqing, and said, "Tit for tat! It's not like you're going to sheath your sword too. Isn't this the perfect map for your fast-paced, burst-damage style?"
This time, Meng Yanqing didn't reply, but just stared at Lin Feiyan with a resolute look, leaving Lin Feiyan completely bewildered.
However, Lin Feiyan didn't dwell on it. With the countdown almost over, Lin Feiyan smiled and extended her hand: "If you don't want to say, that's fine too. Shake hands with your sister before the battle begins~"
"Well……"
Meng Yanqing didn't refuse, and she and Lin Feiyan pinched each other hard.
In that instant, they found a trace of their childhood selves in each other.
Lin Feiyan smiled and said, "According to the rules, twenty steps."
Meng Yanqing nodded: "Mm."
As their hands separated, the two turned around and walked away.
Meng Yanqing silently counted in her mind: "One...two...three..."
"Seven...eight...nine..."
"Fourteen... Fifteen... Sixteen..."
"Nineteen...twenty."
The two footsteps rose and fell almost simultaneously.
They started playing simultaneously and ended simultaneously.
As Meng Yanqing took twenty steps and turned around, Lin Feiyan also happened to turn around. Their eyes met, sparks flying, a scene reminiscent of a duel between cowboys in the West.
Moreover, at that very moment, the countdown for map preparation also ended.
This marks the official start of the battle!
"Thousand-Leaf Immortal-Slaying Lotus!"
"Crimson Hellfire Spear!"
As the two voices fell almost simultaneously, the two pets were summoned from their pet spaces to the battlefield.
Empty—completely empty!
On one side, a nine-meter-tall reddish-blue lotus plant hangs in mid-air, its stem as if forged from black iron, covered with dark red blood-like patterns, resembling magma flowing in the cracks of metal.
The lotus body did not sway in the wind, but stood straight as a drawn blade, and the air within three zhang around it was torn apart, with faint twisted ripples appearing.
Thousands of narrow lotus leaves are layered like dragon scales, with serrated edges that are strikingly sharp. The leaves are bluish-red, reflecting a cool light under the sun.
The twelve-petaled lotus is as green as wood, with narrow, sword-like tips that spiral in the opposite direction when in full bloom, and the center of the flower bursts forth with dazzling golden light. The base of the petals has backward-pointing thorns, and the stamens are composed of hundreds of silver needle-like filaments.
Its magnificent appearance, its overwhelming murderous aura, and its terrifying presence in its complete form are all on full display.
Complete Form - Weapon Type - Thousand-Leaf Immortal-Slaying Lotus!
boom--!!
On the other side, a crimson-gold spear descended from the sky, landing in the ground in front of Lin Feiyan and creating a large crater where flames spewed out.
Its entire body is crimson red, as if forged from molten lava, with dark golden flowing fire patterns wrapped around the gun body, as if sealing away boiling hellfire.
The tip of the spear is not metal, but is made of solidified flame crystals. The edges emit a dazzling golden-red halo, and when it vibrates slightly, it scatters tiny sparks, flickering like breathing.
The tassel is a cluster of eternally burning, dark purple flames that trail eerie afterimages when swung. At the end of the spear shaft is a black relief of a beast's head, from which molten liquid fire constantly seeps, only to be drawn back by an invisible force before dripping, in an endless cycle.
An aura of domineering power spread out.
Complete Form - Weapon Type - Crimson Hellfire Spear!
The instant the Crimson Flame Spear was summoned, Lin Feiyan immediately reached out with both hands and pulled the Crimson Flame Spear out of the ground.
Then he turned the gun around and thrust it into his own chest.
It wasn't suicide.
But -
"Crimson Flame Spear, return to your sheath!"
Indeed, for a map like the Iron Blood Arena, which features narrow terrain and direct head-on confrontations, Lin Feiyan chose to return to the Sheath Return technique that she had initially mastered.
While the primitive version of the Return-to-Sheath technique is far less powerful than the Perfect Return-to-Sheath technique of the Moon God style, it has the advantage of a faster start-up speed.
This gunfight, reminiscent of a Western cowboy shootout, is actually more fitting.
She's not some one-track-minded beast tamer; she can adapt to different situations.
Moreover, in her opinion, even a rough version of Quick Return to Sheath should be more than enough to defeat Meng Yanqing's Thousand Leaf Immortal Lotus.
After all, when they met by chance in ranked matches, she had defeated Meng Yanqing just as easily.
Starting from the spot in Lin Feiyan's chest where the Scarlet Hellfire Spear pierced her, a dazzling light erupted, as if the entire world was enveloped in it. The light was as radiant as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
As the light gradually faded, the Crimson Flame Spear had already been sheathed.
At this moment, the spear underwent an astonishing transformation, changing from its original dark red iron to flowing lava crystals. Crimson-gold demonic patterns appeared on its surface, and the spear tip extended into a three-section spiral blade structure, with undying karmic fire encircling the blade edges, forming an energy vortex shaped like the "River of Three Crossings." It seemed as if a gentle swing could tear through space.
However, the most striking aspect is not just the change in the appearance of the Crimson Flame Spear.
Lin Feiyan, who was the "sheath", also underwent a change. After completing the return to the sheath, she grew much taller, and the same magical patterns as the Scarlet Hellfire Spear appeared on her skin. These magical patterns moved across her skin like flames, emitting a heart-palpitating red light.
Then, Lin Feiyan's originally crimson hair seemed to be ignited, instantly transforming into blazing flames. These flames floated upwards, like dancing fire sprites, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
Lin Feiyan wielded the Crimson Flame Spear with a sense of familiar ease and comfort.
Although the Moon Goddess Style's Perfect Sheathing is powerful, there's always a slight sense of awkwardness when she uses it. Perhaps it's because the Sheathing technique was originally designed for moon-type pets, and as a fire-type pet tamer, she can never quite achieve a smooth and seamless use of it.
And this sheath sheath, which she developed herself, feels as warm and welcoming as a wanderer returning home.
"Are you ready to die?"
Lin Feiyan originally intended to say this to Meng Yanqing.
But at this moment, the scene unfolding before her eyes forced her to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"How is that possible?!"
Seeing the Thousand-Leaf Immortal-Slaying Lotus disintegrate and flow into the blue "sheath" in Meng Yanqing's chest, Lin Feiyan's beautiful eyes widened.
