Chapter 841: Genius Lai Wei!
"Hehe! This time, you’ll definitely lose!" Lai Wei saw how easily Yue Zhong agreed to her conditions and revealed a crafty smile. She then walked to one side, looking towards a mature Winged woman, "Mama, lend me your Storm Battle Armor!"
The beautiful woman laughed lightly, and tossed the suit together with a Type 4 nucleus, before smiling coyly, "Lai Wei, I like this Yue Zhong too. Once he becomes yours, let him accompany me for 3 nights!"
Lai Wei stared back, after taking the armor, "No way! He’s someone that caught my eye. If you want to play with men, go choose some others. He’s mine!!"
Without any hesitation, Lai Wei swiftly put on the armor, standing on the stage, staring at Yue Zhong with a gaze full of battle intent, "Shall we start?"
Yue Zhong laughed lightly, "Bring it on!"
The moment his words landed, Lai Wei’s eyes flashed with a glint. The nucleus behind the armor radiated brightly, and with a tap of her foot, 16 Shadow Clones dashed towards him.
"Type 4 Peak, what a fast speed, she’s already a Type 4 Divine Warrior!"
Yue Zhong caught sight of the 16 Shadow Clones and was full of shock. His heart turned cold and he became serious, withdrawing his contempt.
Lai Wei was a genius combateer among the Winged Race, although her age was young, she had been through countless battles, and had reached the initial Type 4 Divine Warrior stage. With the enhancement of the Storm Battle Armor, she was even able to push herself to the peak of Type 4.
Her speed was extremely quick, every single shadow clone looking extremely life-like. It surpassed what Wayne was capable of. Yue Zhong had been able to discern the authenticity behind Wayne’s technique but was unable to do so for Lai Wei’s.
His pupils narrowed, and with a tap, he shot backward like an arrow, activating his Gravity Manipulation, as a powerful gravitational force spread outward.
He had just stepped back when he suddenly felt an intense sense of danger from above. A powerful hurricane came crashing down towards his head.
"From above?!"
Without lifting his head, he twisted his body slightly and channeled his Dark Dou Qi. With that tight space he had, he sent out a powerful fist towards the direction of the danger.
Both fists connected, and Yue Zhong who was less prepared was sent flying backward.
He twisted his body, his pupils constricting, looking up only to discover all 16 Shadow Clones flapping their wings and coming after him.
The Type 2 Gravitational Force was only enough to impede Lai Wei for barely a second. Due to the sudden change in gravity, they were caught unaware, but once they got used to it, it did not affect them much.
Yue Zhong eyed them and his gaze turned frosty before he suddenly charged towards them with a fierce killing intent.
Lai Wei’s eyes flashed with shock but threw a punch without holding back.
"This is the real one!"
Upon getting close to them, Yue Zhong finally determined one of them to be the true body. There was a wildfire behind his eyes as he allowed the punch to reach his chest.
Her peak Type 4 strength burst out, almost bursting his chest open.
With the new armor, he was wearing made from the Type 5 Mutant Beast scale, together with his Body of Steel, it negated about 60% of Lai Wei’s force, however, the remaining was enough to send his insides tumbling. He almost threw up blood, but he managed to suppress it.
"Hehe! I caught you!"
At the moment her punch landed on Yue Zhong, he opened his arms wide and grabbed her tight, as he sent a vicious knee strike towards her abdomen.
She received the blow and her eyes flashed with madness, kicking out the same way towards him.
He took a step closer and used his legs to block, causing her knee to slam into his thigh, from which a sharp pain shot through his body.
He hugged her tight and tumbled towards the ground, using his body to stick close and assault her.
Not willing to stand down, Lai Wei utilized the same fighting style and threw close punches.
Both parties were reduced to brawling together like hoodlums.
This is close-quarter combat, and not just skills or abilities. At the first instance of their clash, Yue Zhong had already determined that he was not a match for her without using some means.
Yue Zhong had been through countless combat and crawled through seas of zombie corpses and blood, his experience abundant. Lai Wei was not that far off as well, having fought her fair share of battles. She was also more talented in combat compared to Yue Zhong. Combined with the natural wings that their Winged Race possessed, it allowed their speed to be faster, and the flight ability. Utilizing the many means, they could gain an upper hand in close combat.
When the spectators watched this, they were stunned silly, who would have thought that 2 experts would actually be reduced to brawling like this.
Yue Zhong and Lai Wei’s attacks were reaching an intense level, as Lai Wei twisted constantly in a bid to escape Yue Zhong’s grip. As for Yue Zhong, he held her tightly, not allowing her to escape.
Both parties continued to rain blows, and Lai Wei was starting to throw up blood.
As for Yue Zhong, who possessed the Regeneration and Body of Steel abilities, he was like a bull that hung on. Although there was blood at the corners of his mouth as well, he was still brimming with vitality, with no trace of exhaustion.
"Damn it! Get the hell away!!"
As the battle reached a climax, Lai Wei’s eyes flashed fiercely, as the Type 4 Nucleus on her back glowed. Her strength was pushed to the Type 5 realm, and she was starting to lose her rationality from her anger, intending to defeat Yue Zhong quickly.
"No, Lai Wei!!"
"Don’t do it!! You can’t use that power!"
"..."
Seeing the bright glow of the Storm Battle Armor, many of the upper-class Winged Race had huge changes in expression, frantically calling out to stop her.
Lai Wei was currently utilizing the strongest that the armor had to offer. She would likely lose control and go on a killing spree, and the same time, after the burst of strength, the Type 4 Nucleus would also crumble into dust.
"Sorry, this strength does not belong to you!"
Yue Zhong spoke coldly, with blood near his lips, before suddenly letting go.
Lai Wei’s eyes flashed wildly and she shot up like an arrow, slashing towards his chest with her nails. At that instant, her claws slammed into his body.
’Yue Zhong’ disintegrated, turning into dust and disappearing.
Her eyes widened in shock when suddenly, a palm came knocking at the back of her head, making her unconscious.
Although she had gained a boost in strength from the armor, she had lost her rationale, and to Yue Zhong, her current state was easier to deal with.
After knocking her out, Yue Zhong turned to Shailene and chuckled, "Beautiful Queen, this round is also my victory, no?"
Shailene looked straight back at him with a coy smile, "That’s right! It’s your win! Yue Zhong, I appreciate and admire you very much. Stay with us! I will make you my King!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Do reconsider, Your Majesty!"
"..."
Hearing Shailene’s words, all the Winged Race immediately had expressions of horror as they tried to persuade her otherwise.
All along, the King’s position usually belonged to the Winged Race, never a foreign race or species. To the Winged Race who valued their blood and tradition, they would never allow a human to become their King.
With Shailene’s words, many of the male Winged warriors had ugly expressions. They were the best among the best, and based on tradition, the King would have been chosen from among them. Yet now, there was a human who was going to take that position, they could not help but feel ashamed.
"Shailene, don’t mess around!"
At this time, Dorothy, Doreen and 20 other elites with Storm Armor, as well as a hundred Winged female warriors clad in beast hide came marching out.
Shailene looked at them and frowned, "Elders, what’s the meaning of this?"
Dorothy’s eyes flashed as she barked, "Your Majesty, we need to talk to the Storm Queen for the sake of our future. Please be silent."
Being admonished by Dorothy, the atmosphere turned frosty, as Shailene gritted her teeth, her hands clenched tightly.
Doreen smiled at Luo Qing Qing, "Storm Queen, please come with us."
Luo Qing Qing’s facial expression suddenly changed, as the fruit juice in her hands landed on the ground. She stared up in shock, "You guys actually poisoned the food?!"
Hai Xi’s face also turned, as she rushed up in front of Luo Qing Qing to protect her.
Luo Qing Qing turned to Shailene with a hurt look, "Shailene, you actually poisoned me as well?"
Shailene stared back in horror, "No!! Sis!! I did not do anything of the sort!!" She then turned to Dorothy and screamed, "Dorothy, Doreen, what’s going on?!"
Dorothy eyed Shailene and barked, "Your Majesty, keep quiet! This has to do with the survival of our Winged Race!! It is the decision that we Elders have made for our sake!"
