Chapter 688: She Said She'd Kiss Me

"I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Zhou Qingqing's eyes darted away; she was clearly guilty!

"With your rank, playing little tricks is still too immature!"

Bai Jing pinched her cheek, and she, furious, slapped his hand away!

"But it's for the best; establish authority now to avoid trouble later!"

Bai Jing turned and left with flair; Ren Mei glared at her too.

Zhou Qingqing's face turned a bit red; he was right, she was still too immature, even Sister Mei saw it!

She gritted her teeth, stood up, and followed; since she'd been exposed, she might as well see for herself, hoping to see that annoying guy get a severe lesson!

Gu Lan, Hao Meng, go for it!

Zhou Qingqing, trailing behind, fiercely waved her small fist!

The company had its own battle arena, and hearing that two big names were challenging the 'favored' newcomer, one by one they followed, totaling over a hundred people.

Ren Mei turned a blind eye; it was good they all came, saving trouble from anyone insignificant seeking him out later!

Of course, provided Bai Jing could successfully establish authority!

"Alright, who's first?"

Bai Jing stepped into the arena, yawned rudely, and his arrogant attitude displeased many!

"I'll go!"

Hao Meng accepted the challenge first!

It's worth mentioning that Hao Meng is male, while Gu Lan is female.

Bai Jing looked him up and down a few times, "Can't see anything 'meng' about you? A grown man with such a name, aren't you ashamed!"

No need to maintain a persona, he couldn't resist being poisonous again!

Many wanted to laugh; this was also what they wanted to complain about!

Can't laugh; Hao Meng is a teammate now!

"Shut up; elders gave the name, what's it to me?"

"Your elders must regret it now; maybe you were cute as a child, but now... tsk tsk... you've grown ugly!"

Someone couldn't help but chuckle, followed by a chain reaction!

Can't laugh, unless you can't help it!

The laughter made Hao Meng's face burn red!

"Bastard, is all you do is talk trash?"

"Sorry, it's a habit; let's begin!"

Hao Meng was so angry his teeth itched; I must give you a severe lesson!

"Go, Ultra-Bad Star!"

Bai Jing glanced over, "Not bad, looks very much like you... ahem~"

After all, we're colleagues; can't be too excessive!

Ultra-Bad Star looked like a tent, with excellent double defense, covered in poison thorns, and closed off to everyone!

In terms of defense, it was indeed outstanding, able to gain an advantage in chaotic battles.

Its weakness was obvious: low health, weak attack, slow speed; just a living target!

Unfortunately, Bai Jing sent out Aegislash.

Aegislash

Gender: Male

Type: Steel (100%), Ghost (100%)

Ability: Battle Switch

Potential: Body (A), Physical Attack (S), Physical Defense (S), Special Attack (S), Special Defense (S), Speed (A)

Potential: Monarch

Strength: Monarch (Peak)

Laws: Ghost (30%), Steel (30%)

Held Items: Heart of Steel, Steel Orb, Heart of Ghost, Ghost Orb

A year passed, and Aegislash had grown to its peak.

It lacked no treasures; the last time at Diantha's, it gathered a huge pile, basically covering every attribute.

Since establishing authority was the goal, naturally it must be with a crushing posture!

Someone stepped forward to act as referee, "Battle begin!"

Hao Meng crossed his arms, confident, "I'll just stand still; see if you can hit me!"

"Nonsense; if you move, it's a foul! As for Ultra-Bad Star, with its pathetic speed, moving is just a joke!"

Hao Meng's face darkened; how could this guy's mouth be so cheap?

"Ultra-Bad Star, Poison Needle Attack!"

Poison needles shot out from Ultra-Bad Star's body, rushing toward Aegislash!

Bai Jing waved his hand flamboyantly, "Sword Art!"

Aegislash leaped into the air, dodging the poison needles, and slashed down at Ultra-Bad Star from above!

Hao Meng sneered coldly and ordered, "Use Fortify!"

This move allows it to enter a guarding state while poisoning any opponent that touches it.

This was the source of Hao Meng's confidence; Guarding is a divine technique; the first use cannot be broken by any move, after which the opponent enters a poisoned state, allowing him to slowly drain it to death.

Although the Shield Sword Monster has a Steel type and cannot be poisoned, blocking this strike was enough—then it was time to counterattack!

The idea was good, but...

A shadow suddenly erupted from beneath Super Bad Star, transforming into a great sword that slashed toward it!

Although the defense held, Hao Meng was still stunned!

"What was that?"

There was no time for him to be stunned—then the Shield Sword Monster's slash came down!

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ·······

Crack! Shouzhu failed to land another hit—the Shield Sword Monster slashed Super Bad Star to the ground!

The referee stepped forward, inspected, and declared: "Super Bad Star is unable to continue. Hao Meng, you lose!"

"Impossible!"

Hao Meng was no longer naive—she was utterly shattered, questioning her entire life!

The onlookers were astonished; they hadn't expected the battle to end so quickly!

"That shadow must've been Shadow Ambush—it consumed Shouzhu's first 100% defense, allowing the Shield Sword Monster to land the decisive blow!"

"The operation was exactly that—we saw it—but here's the problem!"

"How did it use two skills simultaneously?"

"And even if Shouzhu failed the second time, Super Bad Star is naturally high in defense—how was it knocked out in one hit?!"

0.....

"It can only mean that the Shield Sword Monster is extremely powerful!"

"Yes, yes—didn't you see Hao Meng can't accept this? She's stunned!"

"It seems Sister Ren's faith in this newcomer wasn't misplaced—she has the strength to deserve this treatment!"

Hearing the crowd's remarks, Ren Mei beamed with delight!

Of course! Who do you think I, Ren Mei, am? I'm the discerning mentor who sees talent—how could I possibly be wrong?

Hmm, I wonder who made such a tense scene the first time they met?

Zhou Qingqing gritted her teeth in shock!

She gritted her teeth because she hadn't been able to teach that awful bastard a lesson!
