Chapter 1966: with translation of chapter title

【5】

"Rain child, you go up." Xiao Feng said to Qingfeng Yanyu.

But "Rain child" is likely a nickname for her; it could be "Yu'er". According to the rules, we should translate everything into natural English unless it's a name. "Rain child" is a term of endearment meaning "Little Rain". It might be a name? The character is Qingfeng Yanyu. So "Rain child" probably refers to her, like "Rainy". Since it's not a proper name but a term of address, we translate the meaning as "Rainy". However, the guidelines say: one‑off descriptive epithets that are not used as someone's name (like "the fat man" when it just describes a stranger) should be translated, but if it is what people habitually call him, it is a name and should stay in pinyin. Here "Rain child" is used by Xiao Feng to address Qingfeng Yanyu. Is it a habitual nickname? Possibly, since they are lovers. The line: "Rain child, go up." Xiao Feng says to Qingfeng Yanyu. He calls her "Rain child". Likely a nickname. But we need to decide: Should we translate it or keep the pinyin? The glossary does not include the term for "Rain child". Since it's not a listed name, we should translate the meaning unless it is a habitual nickname. The guide says: if it's used as a person's name or habitual nickname, always use pinyin. We don't know if it's habitual. Given the context, they seem intimate; he calls her "Rain child". It could be a pet name. Safer to translate the meaning: "Rainy". But to be consistent with other translations, we will translate it as "Rainy". However, the instruction: "Use glossary names exactly as provided." For others not in the glossary, we translate meaning.

Thus 【1】 translation: "Rainy, you go up." Xiao Feng said to Qingfeng Yanyu.

appears to be identical to 【5】? Actually the user repeated the same comment. So we need to do the same translation for 【9】.

Make sure no extra punctuation beyond what needed.

Okay, husband~

【14】

Qingfeng Yanyu gave a lovely reply, firelight flared up on her, and she floated forward.

Translation: Qingfeng Yanyu replied charmingly, fire light surged on her body, and she floated forward.

We need to keep meaning: "Qingfeng Yanyu gave a lovely reply, fire light blossomed on her body, and she floated forward." Let's produce: Qingfeng Yanyu replied charmingly, fire light blossomed on her body, and she floated forward.

【21】

Translation: The opponent who entered the battle was "Bandit Brother" Occupying the Mountain as King.

But 'Bandit Brother' is a nickname meaning 'Bandit Brother'. Should we translate it? It's a descriptor used as a name? Probably a nickname. Since it's not in the glossary, we translate the meaning as 'Bandit Brother'. So: The opponent who entered the battle was 'Bandit Brother', occupying the mountain as king.

【26】

Thus: 【4】 The opponent who entered the battle was "Bandit Brother" Occupying the Mountain as King.

Swish!

Translation: A sword light surged like lightning and landed on Xiao Feng's body.

He could have dodged it, but he felt it wasn't necessary; at the moment the sword energy struck, half of its power was first burned away by the Kirin True Fire, and simultaneously a golden ripple appeared on his body, reducing the remaining force to nothing.

Upon impact, sparks actually flew out, as if swords were clashing!

Translation: This impact actually sent out sparks, as if blades were clashing!

Translation: Xiao Feng's skin is already harder than divine weapons; even if Xue Ningzhen strikes with all her strength, she cannot budge him in the slightest.

"What!"

Translation: "What!"

【100】

Translation: Xue Ningzhen originally thought that even if this strike could not inflict massive damage on Xiao Feng, it should at least deal a few hundred million or a few billion.

But unexpectedly, not even -1 forced damage got through; it was completely immune!

Translation: But she never expected that not even a -1 forced damage would appear; she was completely immune!

Boom!

Translation: Boom!

【108】

Translation: Xue Ningzhen's whole body was blown backward, blood spattering across the sky, and even her weapon slipped from her hand and fell onto the arena.

-148,982,200,000,000

【110】

A damage in the hundreds of millions range erupted from her.

Translation: A damage on the order of a hundred billion erupted from her body.

【114】

Translation: Xiao Feng actively suppressed his power; this strike was truly light and gentle, practically like a lovers' caress, and he also temporarily nullified the offensive talent engraved on his divinity, which is why he didn't instantly kill her.

Otherwise, given Xiao Feng's current full set of Venerable Holy Gear stats, even a basic attack would be enough to kill her.

Translation: "It's time to end this." Xiao Feng said.

A gigantic flame hand protruded from before him, spanning over a hundred meters.

Translation: ……Actually, the moment she heard him say "It's time to end this," Xue Ningzhen realized it was time to perform!

【138】

Then, the next second, that flame hand in the air suddenly froze, and Xiao Feng's figure stiffened mid‑air.

"What skill is this?"

Translation: "What skill is this?"

【150】

Translation: "Even the great god Xiao Feng is being controlled, and it seems to last a long time!"

"Heavens, she's so strong! Last time when she fought against the Tianyu Wasteland, it was the same—she glowed with blue light, and then Li Jinglan was frozen, able only to take hits passively!"

Translation: "Good heavens, she's so strong! Last time when she faced the Tianyu Great Wasteland, it was the same—her body emitted blue light, and then Li Jinglan was frozen, only able to endure passive blows!"

Nobody knew whether Xiao Feng was holding back; they all thought he had really been hit, and they were astonished.

Translation: Everyone didn't know Xiao Feng was holding back; they thought he had really been hit, and were utterly astonished.

Also there is 【??】 maybe 【??】 but we have those.

Translation: And Li Jinglan, who caused this scene to happen, was at this moment dumbstruck, left speechless by the two on the arena.

"This junior sister is quite clever; she actually managed to think of a way to resolve the misunderstanding..."

He secretly thought, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He had previously let Xue Ningzhen win.

He actually hadn't thought much; his intention was simply to let her win, hoping she could reconcile and stop the fighting.

He never wanted to contend with Xue Ningzhen; it was the other side that held deep resentment, feeling that the opportunity had been snatched by him, constantly provoking.

Moreover, he is someone with a clumsy mouth; every time words reach his lips they get twisted, turning explanation into provocation, making the grudge grow bigger.

After the previous round ended, hearing the guesses of players from the two battle zones and all kinds of rumors, Li Jinglan felt extremely troubled and deeply sorry.

But he also couldn't step forward to explain, as doing so would only cause more trouble.

Now, seeing Xiao Feng step in to help ease the awkwardness, he finally felt somewhat better.

At the same time, feeling helpless, given this situation, he thought he would never be able to reconcile with Xue Ningzhen in this lifetime.

Inside the arena.

Xiao Feng stood still and took the hits for five seconds.

Xue Ningzhen pulled out all her stops, using every technique she could.

But unfortunately, she still couldn't inflict even a single point of damage.

Xiao Feng, worried she'd be embarrassed, secretly suppressed the effect of his Indestructible Golden Body, allowing her to deal a couple of billions of damage in the final second.

"Sigh, pretending to be weak is really hard." He silently lamented.

The immobilization time was up; the battle should end now.

"Fairy Maiden Xue, your timing is still a bit off." He chuckled, raised his hand, and struck down.

Xue Ningzhen had already expended her ultimate move; at this moment her face showed resignation and relief as she bore his attack.

Boom—

Before the terrifying power, her delicate and graceful figure appeared especially fragile, directly shattered by Xiao Feng's palm.

A generation's female sword immortal bled across the void; her immortal sword fell to the ground, emitting a crisp sound.

【Promotion match finals, fifth round, game 4,

Winner: One God Brings Four Pits (Blue Star No. 8)!】

【Winning side team members' reward: 10 billion Cultivation Pills ×25.】

【Losing side team members' reward: 10 billion Cultivation Pills ×25.】
