Chapter 149: Chapter 148: The God of Micro-Control, Zhang Yue's Foresight!
Zhang Yue not only knew how to break Sword Shadow but was also familiar with Sword Emperor's moves and combat style.
The opponent's understanding of the [Sword Emperor] profession seemed deeper than his own.
At this moment, Luo Chen felt an inexplicable fear toward Zhang Yue.
Seeing Zhang Yue defeat Luo Chen effortlessly with just one Fireball Spell.
Ling Ke'er and Glory Firmament, standing behind, were instantly plunged into endless shock and disbelief.
"This... is a Beast Tamer? Since when does a Beast Tamer use a staff like this?"
"His control and awareness are actually stronger than the legendary profession [Sword Emperor]?"
In everyone's eyes, the Beast Tamer profession was about mindlessly controlling pets in combat, requiring no operational skill.
However, Zhang Yue wielded his staff like a greatsword, displaying micro-control skills on par with the Dragon Nation's number one micro-control god, [Moonmark], leaving countless onlookers stunned.
Who could have imagined that such a flashy Beast Tamer existed.
Su Jinyan gazed at Zhang Yue, muttering, "So... this is your true strength."
Seeing even the "dragon" that her father spent millions to hire from Hidden Dragon Mountain failing to defeat Zhang Yue, and Tian Xin'er still standing there, seemingly mocking her...
Ling Ke'er stomped her foot in anger.
"USELESS FOOLS! TRASH! YOU'RE ALL TRASH!"
Beside her, Glory River said, "Miss, it's not that Senior Luo Chen is useless."
"Can't you see? It's that Zero is too strong."
"We thought he only dealt high damage because of his equipment, but after that fight... his awareness and micro-control skills could honestly rival Dragon Nation's Tier 0 profession experts like Moonmark, Ice Emperor, and Blazing Angel."
Ling Ke'er didn't care about such reasoning; she was only mad that she hadn't achieved her goal:"Stop making excuses for your incompetence. You're all trash, every last one of you."
Women are truly unreasonable. [TN: Agreed]
Glory River quickly changed the subject: "Miss, since Sword Emperor is defeated, we should retreat quickly."
Despite her anger, Ling Ke'er understood the situation.
She glared viciously at Tian Xin'er in the distance, thinking: 'This time, you got lucky. Next time, I'll make you regret it.'
Without sparing another glance at the defeated Luo Chen, Ling Ke'er turned to leave.
Suddenly, with a thunderous dragon's roar, the Apocalypse Black Dragon descended from the sky, blocking their path.
Turning back, Zhang Yue appeared behind them.
Furious and spiteful, Ling Ke'er pointed at Zhang Yue and shouted: "What does Tian Xin'er have that I don't? I'm prettier! My figure's better! My family background isn't inferior to hers! Why do you like her and not me?"
Liu Yao raised his hand: "Well, let me speak fairly. Based on my extensive experience with women, Tian Xin'er is just a tiny bit more pleasing to the eye. As for her figure... can't comment unless you take off your clothes and let me see?"
Wu Haotian gave Liu Yao a side-eye: "Bro, when it comes to being a pervert, you take the crown."
"I admit defeat."
Zhang Yue said to Ling Ke'er: "Someone as selfish and self-centered as you only loves yourself."
"Why should I like you? Are you even worthy?"
With the combined verbal attacks from Liu Yao and Zhang Yue, Ling Ke'er's eyes welled up with tears.
Behind them, Tian Xin'er cheered loudly: "Well said! Awesome! Totally nailed it! Zhang Yue, that was perfect."
She even stuck her tongue out playfully at Ling Ke'er.
Infuriated, Ling Ke'er was driven to tears: "If you dare, stop interfering and let me fight Tian Xin'er one-on-one. We'll see who's stronger."
Coincidentally, Tian Xin'er also wanted this: "Come on, you think I'm scared of you?"
Thus, the next battlefield was left to Tian Xin'er and Ling Ke'er.
Ling Ke'er smugly thought: 'Tian Xin'er, let's see how you fight me, a Dark Mage.'
Both were rare-class professions—Flowing Light Assassin and Dark Mage—seemingly evenly matched.
But Ling Ke'er overlooked one thing: A mage fighting an assassin one-on-one was like an egg hitting a rock.
Confidently, she sneered: "Without Zero helping you, I'll crush you!"
The fight began.
As expected, Ling Ke'er's spells missed, failing to kill Tian Xin'er before she could get close.
Once in range, Tian Xin'er unleashed a devastating combo with her Flowing Light Assassin's high burst damage, easily defeating Ling Ke'er.
Ling Ke'er stared wide-eyed at Tian Xin'er in disbelief.
Before disappearing into white light, she vaguely heard the surrounding crowd whispering: "I didn't expect the Tian family's young lady to be not only beautiful with a powerful family background but also incredibly strong."
"Indeed, she and Zero, the newly crowned number one in Zhening Province, really are a perfect match."
"The Glory family's young lady just doesn't compare."
With a flash of white light, Ling Ke'er vanished in defeat and resentment. Glory Firmament and Glory River couldn't escape the Apocalypse Black Dragon's wrath and were devoured as a midnight snack.
Though... they weren't enough to fill its teeth.
Overjoyed, Tian Xin'er couldn't contain herself and hugged Zhang Yue tightly: "Zhang Yue, you protected me again. Thank you!"
The crowd watched enviously.
Only Su Jinyan quietly turned away, feeling downcast.
But Zhang Yue gently pushed Tian Xin'er away, saying:
"No need to thank me. It was just a small favor."
The first time, he did it mainly to save Su Jinyan.
The second time, it was purely self-defense.
Yet, in Tian Xin'er's eyes, Zhang Yue had fought against one of Tianjing's top three families just to protect her.
Zhang Yue took out the Dark Set he had previously swapped out from his storage space and handed it to Tian Xin'er: "This set belongs to you."
Tian Xin'er smiled: "No need. Once given, it's yours."
Despite her words, Zhang Yue still returned the Dark Set to her.
If he needed money, he could earn it himself, not rely on handouts.
Of course, unless the person giving it was Ling Ke'er…
Little did he know, this act deepened Tian Xin'er's admiration for him.
Not only smart and brave but also principled and righteous.
Such a guy—there couldn't be a second one like him in the world!
Seeming to remember something, Zhang Yue turned to Tian Xin'er: "By the way, can I ask you for one more favor?"
Tian Xin'er eagerly responded: "Of course! What do you need?"
"Help me clear my red name…"
From beginning to end, Zhang Yue was either farming red names or on the way to farm red names...
Just now, killing dozens of people from the Glory Guild caused Zhang Yue to accumulate a lot of sin points.
Without the help of the Infinite Guild, he wouldn't know how long it would take to clear them alone.
Thus, Tian Xin'er immediately notified Infinite Phantom, asking him to bring people over.
At this moment, Wu Haotian suddenly said, "Boss, what about that guy? Kill him?"
Following Wu Haotian's gaze, they saw the Sword Emperor Luo Chen in silver armor, whose health had already recovered by seventy percent, standing there.
Zhang Yue looked at Luo Chen and walked toward him.
Luo Chen didn't activate Sword Shadows, seemingly realizing: the other party's strength was on a completely different level than his own, and no matter how hard he resisted, he couldn't be his opponent.
When he was about ten meters away from Luo Chen, Zhang Yue stopped in his tracks.
He said something to Luo Chen: "Your master is Hidden Dragon, right?"
Luo Chen was stunned. "How do you know...?"
"If you have time, say hi to your master for me."
"Oh right, also help me ask when he's going to pay back the money he owes me for the wine?"
After saying that, Zhang Yue turned around and walked away.
"Let's go, don't bother with him."
Although they didn't know what Zhang Yue was thinking, since even Zhang Yue had no intention of killing Luo Chen, the others naturally had no such thoughts either.
After all, even if they wanted to, the strength of the Sword Emperor wouldn't allow them to act on it~
Among those present, who besides Zhang Yue could defeat Luo Chen?
Thus, Zhang Yue and his team left directly.
Watching Zhang Yue's gradually departing figure,
Luo Chen subconsciously touched his head, which Zhang Yue had knocked on like a wooden fish a dozen times, his eyes flickering with a strange light...
