Chapter 179: Formidable Opponent, the Appearance of the Shenshe Wu Nu
The scene in the sky at this moment is indeed very spectacular.
Three Light Orbs appear under everyone's gaze, each containing a gleaming Large Box.
Next to these boxes float a bottle of pale purple potion and a golden Skill Scroll.
No need for more words; these boxes are filled with Gold Coins.
In the low-level arena, the Champion Reward for the three divisions is identical: each champion receives 50,000,000 Gold Coins, one Beginner Magic Potion, and a flashing Beginner Skill Scroll.
For Below Level 40 professionals, 50,000,000 Gold Coins is no small amount.
And the Beginner Magic Potion and the flashing Beginner Skill Scroll are exceedingly precious.
These two are almost impossible to find in the outside world, even on the Exchange or at auctions they are rarely seen.
Valuable yet unsellable treasures.
If these two items are taken to sell, they would fetch at least a hundred million.
"This is the Beginner Magic Potion, it can increase all attributes by 200, suitable for Below Level 40 professionals."
"It's hard to find this potion in the outside world, even at auctions it's rarely seen."
"Also the flashing Skill Scroll, though only beginner, remains a priceless treasure."
Beginner Skills are not necessarily worthless; many Skills can become powerful through development.
Most professionals cannot master all Skills; even with a Sea of Skill Scrolls, some Skills may be missed.
The usage rule for Skill Scrolls is: the more Skills one has mastered, the higher the chance of successfully learning the next Skill.
The final Skill may require multiple attempts to succeed; at that point the flashing Skill Scroll plays an important role.
Three Light Orbs float in midair, towards all
participants the prizes, reminding them the prizes are right before their eyes; as long as your skill can be shown, you can have them.
The professionals below stare at the prizes one by one, with flashing eyes, determined to obtain them.
Jiang Chen glanced once and then looked away; if he wants to see, he'll examine it slowly after he gets it.
With the prizes appearing, today's match officially begins.
Jiang Chen Squad takes the first slot.
And only he steps onto the stage, while Lin Caier and several others watch from below.
"Our opponent drawn is a team from Shadow Transformation Nation; I've heard they're quite formidable."
"Their leader is Ying ChuiXue, whose profession is Shenshe Wu Nu, a profession unique to Shadow Transformation Nation."
"This profession is quite mysterious, with little information; although not a Mythological Class profession, it is said to be very special."
Each nation has special Bloodlines, giving rise to some unique professions.
Shadow Transformation Nation has two unique professions, one is the widely known Mythological Class profession, Yinyang Master, and the other is the relatively mysterious Shenshe Wu Nu, designated as a Rare Profession, with little external transmission and scarce data.
Jiang Chen is not fond of Shadow Transformation Nation; there is hatred between them.
He clearly remembers that a Yinyang Master named Anbei Yin Qi wanted to put him to death, so if the chance arises, he will not let the opponent go.
Ying ChuiXue steps onto the arena, wearing typical Shadow Transformation Nation attire with wooden shoes that squeak as she walks.
Behind Ying ChuiXue stand a Knight, two archers, and two mages.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang Chen, I am Ying ChuiXue from Shadow Transformation Nation."
Ying ChuiXue smiles and bows to Jiang Chen, appearing very courteous.
Jiang Chen gives no response, only
gazes lightly at the prizes.
Ying ChuiXue, seeing Jiang Chen's lack of reaction, steps forward two more steps and lowers her voice further.
"Our Emperor is very interested in Mr. Jiang's profession; the Emperor sincerely invites Mr. Jiang Chen to join our nation."
"Mr. Jiang, if you have any requests, feel free to state them, I will do my utmost to fulfill them."
Ying ChuiXue continues, her gaze revealing a special meaning that men instantly understand.
It must be said, Ying ChuiXue is very beautiful.
She exudes astonishing charm.
Purely in terms of looks, she is no worse than any woman Jiang Chen has ever seen.
But in Jiang Chen's eyes, beauty is useless.
Lin Caier, hearing that, clenches her fist: "What a scoundrel."
Liu Cui adds: "Indeed, vulgar."
Jiang Chen shows a disgusted expression: "Get lost."
Ying ChuiXue is unbothered: "Mr. Jiang, you may consider it carefully."
She says this while retreating to the middle of the team, where the Knight blocks in front of Ying ChuiXue.
The tall, massive Knight completely shields Ying ChuiXue; from the front, she is invisible.
If one wishes to attack her, one must first defeat the Knight.
On the arena, formation patterns flash, forming a massive Light Screen that envelops the entire arena.
With a soft sound, the match begins.
Two Skeleton Mages instantly appear beside Jiang Chen.
The Skeleton Mage immediately uses a Skill.
Over in Shadow Transformation Nation, a phantom appears in the sky.
A human-like head with a snake body, neither human nor Monster.
"Shikigami?"
Jiang Chen instinctively thinks it's a Shikigami, but upon closer look it is not.
This illusion opened its huge mouth and actually devoured all of the Skeleton Mage's attacks.
A coquettish laugh rang out, Ying ChuiXue
Poked its head out from behind the Knight.
"Mr. Jiang, this is our Shadow Transformation Nation's Human‑faced Snake God, which can devour any Elemental Attack. Therefore your attacks are ineffective against us, okay."
Jiang Chen was not surprised.
Making it to the finals certainly means he has some skill.
How could it be dealt with easily?
Since Elemental Attacks are ineffective, let's try physical attacks.
Five Skeleton Warriors appeared ahead, and with a crack they ran forward.
At this moment, another illusion appeared above the Shadow Transformation Nation.
A monster covered in spikes, with a head like a wild boar and a body like a barbaric ox, appeared in the air.
"Skill: Divine Spirit Possession!"
Amid Ying ChuiXue's coquettish shout, that boar‑shaped monster pierced into the Knight's body.
The Knight's eyes emitted Red Light, his aura surged wildly, like a gale sweeping the arena.
At the same time, a beast‑like roar erupted from his mouth.
"Skill: Group Taunt!"
Five Skeletons were simultaneously enveloped by the skill, forcibly retargeting and charging toward the Knight.
After being possessed, the Knight did not retreat but advanced, using the Charge skill toward the Skeletons.
With a booming "Bang", the Knight was knocked back.
The Skeleton Warriors collectively paused briefly before continuing to charge forward.
Ying ChuiXue's face showed shock: "Mr. Jiang's Skeletons are truly impressive; even the Knight with Giant Strength Divine Possession was Shock Retreated."
As she spoke, a light flickered on her middle finger.
"Skill: Possession Enhancement!"
The Knight's aura was amplified again, as if various statuses were added.
The Knight, fully empowered, let out successive roars and launched a bold attack on the Skeleton Warriors again.
He single‑handedly blocked five Skeleton Warriors.
He seemed somewhat strained, constantly retreating, yet he truly managed to block them.
Such a skill is indeed unprecedented.
Shadow Transformation
The Shadow Transformation Nation's Shenshe Wu Nu profession is very mysterious; few have ever seen it.
No one understands Ying ChuiXue's various skills.
Now that we see it, the profession seems even more mysterious and bizarre.
The divine spirits she summons cannot be true divine spirits.
They resemble some kind of Summoned Beast, similar to a Yinyang Master's Shikigami.
Shikigami can fight independently and possess a variety of abilities.
The entities Ying ChuiXue summons can exist independently or merge with the practitioner, greatly enhancing the practitioner's power.
This profession is very unique and powerful.
There were many Top‑tier Professionals present, and when they saw Ying ChuiXue's professional skills, they couldn't help but feel a spark of awe.
If such skills were applied to those elite professionals, wouldn't they become even stronger?
Some people are already considering approaching Ying ChuiXue later for a discussion.
The Knight blocked the Skeleton Warriors; under the Taunt Skill, the Skeleton Warriors frantically attacked the Knight, ignoring Ying ChuiXue.
Ying ChuiXue giggled, "It seems Mr. Jiang's Summoned Entity isn't very obedient either."
Jiang Chen gave a slight smile.
Not obedient?
That's just because he wasn't commanding it.
His heart stirred, and the Skeleton Warriors besieging the Knight suddenly switched targets and lunged toward Ying ChuiXue.
No matter how the Knight used the Taunt Skill, the Skeleton Warriors ignored him.
Ying ChuiXue's complexion changed dramatically; she truly regretted provoking Jiang Chen.
She let out another coquettish shout, "Divine Spirit Possession."
The first summoned Snake‑bodied Divine Spirit quickly merged into the mage's body.
The mage, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly lifted it, and Red Light flashed in his eyes.
A ring of Fire Ring emerged in response, blasting all Skeleton Warriors away.
Resist Fire Ring,
The power is stronger than a normal Resist Fire Ring, clearly having been Amplified.
Ying ChuiXue used the skill again.
A Spider Divine Spirit appeared above her head.
"Skill: Divine Spirit Possession!"
With a coquettish shout, the Spider Divine Spirit merged into another mage's body.
The mage's eyes glowed Red Light, and he raised his staff high.
Whispers of gentle wind brushed forth.
Skill: Wind Shackles.
Skeleton Warriors had shackles appear on them one after another; they were controlled and could not move forward.
Everything happened in an instant.
In the time it takes to blink, five Skeleton Warriors were already controlled.
Ying ChuiXue let out a sigh and giggled, "Mr. Jiang, Elemental Attack is ineffective, the Skeleton Warriors are controlled; do you have any other techniques?"
"If not, then you've already lost."
While she was speaking, the Knight had already charged toward Jiang Chen.
To everyone, Jiang Chen was merely a Summoner.
If a powerful Knight rushed into view, there would be no way out but death.
Even if Jiang Chen still had three Skeleton Warriors that hadn't been summoned.
But even if they were summoned, they'd still be controlled and could never fulfill their role.
Many people thought Jiang Chen was truly doomed this time.
A victorious smile already hung on Ying ChuiXue's face.
Suddenly, the arena was filled with Red Light.
Ying ChuiXue's smile froze on her face.
