The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast-Chapter 88 - 84: Mystical Technique of the Earth

The owner can be said to be one in hundreds of thousands!

"Lin Guang, you’re truly deserving of being the first to be nominated for the exchange competition. Not only are you always on guard, but your reaction is also so quick, and that shot is probably a Green Grade skill, right?"

"But I’m sorry, there’s an insurmountable gap between us!"

Liu Zhiyong proudly raised his head, "I joined the ’Earth Daoist School’ from a young age, learning Daoist Hua Bo’s ’Mystical Technique’ with my Armored Battle Turtle, and now I’ve managed to combine it into a Green Grade [Earth Guardian]. Even if you have a skill advantage, it’s absolutely impossible to break through the defenses of the Armored Battle Turtle!"

On the sidelines, Miaomiao couldn’t help but speak up, "Is this the shooting site of a children’s tops show? These lines have quite a flavor, hey!"

Meanwhile, Lin Guang revealed a pondering expression.

"Mystical Technique, huh?"

"Hua Bo..."

"Spirit Battle Chronicles," as a game with roguelike elements, aside from certain underlying logic like Spirit Beasts, Magical Beasts, and certain special mission chains, other "NPCs" are randomly generated.

So when he played the game, he certainly didn’t know this Spirit Master.

But as a local of Zhen Sheng City, Lin Guang was quite familiar with Hua Bo.

Though all these years he hasn’t broken through to become the Six-Star [True Man], he has been undefeated since debuting decades ago. He’s undoubtedly the strongest Daoist School Leader in history, known as "Hua Bo of the Earth," who created a series of skills, summarized and finally combined into "Mystical Technique of the Earth." It balances offense and defense, and it’s said that his [Earth Guardian], reaching Golden Grade, is so advanced that even ordinary True Men can’t break his defense. You could say he’s the pride of Zhen Sheng City.

The crowd around nodded upon hearing this, also thinking Lin Guang had no chance of winning, except for Miaomiao, who jumped up in the crowd, disregarding others’ eyes, and cheered loudly for Lin Guang.

"Thank you for the explanation."

Lin Guang couldn’t help but laugh.

It was the first time he saw this kind of commentary from reality, quite novel, and they gave him so much time too.

So Lin Guang, like a reminder to a child, said, "While you were stabilizing your stance just now, guess what I was doing?"

Liu Zhiyong was stunned, seeing Lin Guang with his hands clasped in front of his chest, and the light spots surrounding him and Vishdair, he found the problem.

——He was continuously casting Ether Charging to restore Vishdair’s ether!

Liu Zhiyong realized the danger: "Charge over, don’t let her gather strength!"

"Rapid Fire, disrupt his rhythm, be ready to use that move anytime."

Vishdair understood his intention and showed a maddening smile.

In the next moment, she started rapidly squeezing the trigger at a pace of once per second. Each trigger pull fired a slightly dim bullet, booming against the Armored Battle Turtle, making a roaring sound.

This was the result of her nearly a month’s training in Explosive Shot.

By greatly reducing power, she could perform rapid shootings.

Liu Zhiyong shouted: "It’s useless, it’s useless, just tickling!"

The Rapid Fire’s bullets naturally had nothing to do with the power of gathering strength, plus with a one-tier difference, this kind of attack couldn’t be faster than the opponent’s restoration speed with the Power of Earth. At most, it only caused a slight pause.

But everyone on the scene was stunned.

Because the Armored Battle Turtle was trying to close in on the silver-haired girl, but its speed just wouldn’t increase.

The girl even strolled leisurely to widen the distance from it.

The Explosion Shot in rapid-fire mode wasn’t powerful, but each hit was at a different spot, making it hard to use the special technique to tilt its weight and speed up for a chase.

"Discovered so quickly?"

Liu Zhiyong snorted: "If only the [Earth Guardian]’s proficiency wasn’t enough, your attack couldn’t have impacted the Armored Battle Turtle’s borrowing strength!"

"Fine, let me show you real power!"

The silver-gray light in Liu Zhiyong’s eyes burned intensely, he pushed his Spirit to its limit, activating his Green Grade Talent [Iron Block], while his right hand swung forward, revealing a star-tier Earth Attribute Spirit Rune Secret Technique [Solid Defense] mark that emerged like earth and stone. This was originally his secret ace prepared for the exchange competition, never shown before.

In the next moment, the Armored Battle Turtle’s defense and hardness increased, and Rapid Fire could no longer affect its movement, beginning to charge rapidly at Vishdair.

Still continuously casting Ether Charging, Lin Guang suddenly sharpened his gaze, with dark golden flames blazing in his eyes: "Now, start gathering strength!"

At the same time, sparks emerged around Vishdair again. She once more grasped her gun and began gathering strength at her original position.

"Attempting a final struggle? Then let’s go again!"

Liu Zhiyong subconsciously thought the opponent was gathering strength for an Explosive Shot in the same spot, and such charge-up skills are often hard to move with, so he used the previous tactic again.

When Vishdair was three meters away, the Armored Battle Turtle’s body suddenly sank, earth and stone cracked, it leapt up, body flashing with yellow-brown light, it was the Mystical Technique [Earth Guardian].

Vishdair’s gun involuntarily lifted, seemingly to aim at the Armored Battle Turtle.

The audience held their breath watching the battle, knowing that victory might be decided in this collision.

However, at this very instant, an unexpected event unfolded.

Vishdair’s gun wasn’t raised to aim.

Instead...

She tossed the gun away.

In an instant, that rugged hand cannon turned into golden spots and dissipated in midair, and those few seconds of real gathering strength focus appeared in the crowd’s view.

In her clenched right fist.

Ether of Fire Attribute in the air instantly became active, like moths to a flame, transforming into visible red energy beams, spiraling into her right arm, which burned fiery red, like a treasure sword waiting to be quenched.

She clenched her fist, her body bent like a bow, showing a wild smile that could stop a baby from crying at night, stepping forward towards the Armored Battle Turtle in midair.

How could she move?

How could she move?

Her proficiency so high?!

Even a novice Spirit Master could sense the terrifying force in her right arm, Liu Zhiyong’s expression changed slightly.

Even when he acted with Iron Guardian, Solid Defense, and Iron Block, he sensed a slight trepidation.

Could this really be the attack method a Tier One Spirit Beast could possess?!

Intuition told him the correct choice was to have the Armored Battle Turtle dodge, exhaust his opponent’s Ether.

But it wasn’t just that few teenagers could take such insults, and even if he wanted to avoid it, he couldn’t.

Because his command was issued too early.

Using Eye for an Eye together with Iron Guardian was a skill only barely usable after months of hard training under Hua Bo. But in this manner, the midair state of the Armored Battle Turtle couldn’t change direction, the moment it lands, an opening would be exposed. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Liu Zhiyong shouted loudly: "Hold on! Armored Battle Turtle! Hold on for victory!"

Lin Guang yelled: "Get ready to jump! Attack its top!"

Facing the incoming Armored Battle Turtle, Vishdair’s face bore a slightly crazed smile.

At the moment the base of the top touched the ground, earth and stone crumbled, but Vishdair had already leaped high, using the Armored Battle Turtle’s body as cover to avoid the flying rock fragments.

Then.

The right fist, powered by flame, fiercely smashed down with unstoppable momentum, hit the crest on top of the Armored Battle Turtle.

Boom!!!

When iron met flesh, an explosion occurred. Surprisingly, this explosion was quieter than the previous bullet shot from the gun. Vishdair’s body was flung three or four meters back in the air, landing staggered, while the Armored Battle Turtle retreated less than two meters, its posture unwavering, still so stable.

Liu Zhiyong laughed.

But Lin Guang and Vishdair also laughed.

She extended her right hand, giving Liu Zhiyong a thumbs up, and then rotated her wrist, swinging it down.

Bang—!
