Chapter 698 Tournament (8)

As soon as her voice fell, she gave a clap before two figures appeared around her.

These were her pets that she called out of her pet storage space.

After landing on the ground, their appearances were revealed to everyone.

The two pets that she summoned were two pure white foxes that had traces of flames on them that almost seemed like will-o-wisps.

The flames were wrapped around the two foxes at first, but then they slowly started moving from the two white foxes towards Ying Ling. After a while, the foxes themselves even disappeared as they seemingly fused with Ying Ling, wrapping around her like two fox fur scarves that were covered in flames.

Ying Ling didn't give Mo Ze Chen any time to think as she raised her hand and summoned flames all around her, sending them flying at him.

But Mo Ze Chen didn't panic as he called out Xiao Bai.

With a single roar from Xiao Bai, there was the same wave of water that appeared out of thin air, sweeping out at Ying Ling.

There were some people that were worried about Ying Ling when they saw this wave of water. They had seen many other experts being caught "off guard" and being sent off the stage by this wave of water, so they were worried that the same would happen to Ying Ling.

When the wave of water clashed with the balls of flames, the flames were immediately extinguished and the wave of water continued forward, charging at Ying Ling.

Ying Ling saw this wave and revealed an excited look.

This wave was even stronger than she had imagined.

Those people back in her family were idiots. Even if Ying Jun hadn't been caught off guard, he still would have been sent flying even if he had used his full strength to counter this.

After all, this was a wave of water that was at the very peak of the Embryo Soul Realm, it even had a foot into the Child Soul Realm.

For someone like Ying Jun who was only at the middle of the Peak Embryo Soul Realm, he wouldn't have been able to resist this wave.

But even if Ying Jun couldn't resist, that didn't mean that Ying Ling couldn't.

The two fox scarves on her neck suddenly came together and formed a flame barrier in front of her.

When the wave of water clashed against this flame barrier, there was the sound of water being evaporated, but in the end, the flame barrier was able to hold on. It was able to burn a chunk out of the wave of water, allowing Ying Ling to stand there without taking a single step back.

After the wave of water was gone, Ying Ling didn't stop as she started running at Mo Ze Chen again.

This time, she had transformed the two fox fur scarves on her neck into flaming blades that she swung at Mo Ze Chen.

Mo Ze Chen didn't panic as he had Xiao Bai put up a water barrier.

When the blades hit the water barrier, they were immediately repelled and Ying Ling was sent back a few steps.

She looked at the water barrier with a surprised look as she clearly didn't expect the barrier to be this strong. However, Ying Ling also recovered quickly as she took a step back after being sent backwards and swinging her blades in front of her, creating even smaller blades that flew out at Mo Ze Chen.

Those smaller blades of flames hit the water barrier and were immediately dissipated, not even creating a ripple on the surface of the water barrier.

She didn't make another move as she released his spiritual sense to investigate this water barrier.

During this time, there was only silence in the crowd.

They might be able to deny it if Mo Ze Chen only used the wave of water since that was something that he used every time to knock out his opponent. People had already considered it a dirty trick that he used without even thinking about the power contained within the wave.

But this time, they weren't able to lie to themselves anymore.

After all, it was clear from the aura of Ying Ling's attacks that she hadn't held back, but Mo Ze Chen had been able to block them all with the water barrier.

If they kept insisting that Mo Ze Chen was a coward and cheat, they wouldn't be able to hold on anymore.

After all, there was true power that was being demonstrated in front of them and there was no way of denying it.

Mo Ze Chen had faced Ying Ling's full power head on and he was able to stop it, which showed that he wasn't just relying on tricks, but rather he had actual power.

But they couldn't be confused about why Mo Ze Chen had acted the way that he did.

After all, if he was this powerful, why would he act in such a shameless manner that people even came up with the name "Shameless King" for him?

Mo Ze Chen ignored the silence and focused on Ying Ling.

He had to admit that he did admire her for her abilities.

Not only was she able to match Xiao Bai's abilities, she was even able to calmly analyze the fact that he was hiding his power.

It seemed like if he continued holding back, this would be a hard fight for him.

After this thought passed in his mind, Mo Ze Chen gave a nod to Xiao Bai who just rolled his eyes at Mo Ze Chen. At this, Mo Ze Chen revealed a bitter smile.

If it wasn't for the fact that Lin Fan had asked Xiao Bai to listen to Mo Ze Chen, Xiao Bai wouldn't have been willing to work with this fatty. He much rather preferred the cute girl who hung around the fatty.

But still, this was something that Lin Fan had asked Xiao Bai to do, so he had no choice.

After receiving this nod from Mo Ze Chen, the aura around Xiao Bai had started to change.

Once this change happened, Xiao Bai started to act completely differently as he summoned out claws of water around his tiny paws.

Then without any hesitation, Xiao Bai jumped out at Ying Ling, brandishing those claws.

Ying Ling immediately flicked her hand holding the two fox scarves when she saw this, causing a flame barrier to appear from the flames around the two foxes.

This flame barrier appeared right in front of Xiao Bai's water claws, but Xiao Bai just gave it a snort of disdain as he slashed down at this flame barrier.

The flame barrier was immediately slashed to pieces without burning away even a single drop of Xiao Bai's water claws.

The water claws continued falling down and when Ying Ling saw this, she released all her life energy to help the foxes release more flames. Those flames formed a protective barrier that was much stronger than the flame barrier from before, but these flames also took up much more life energy.

Even with how strong Ying Ling was, she wouldn't have been able to keep this barrier going for long.

But that didn't matter as Xiao Bai's water claws smashed through this barrier as well, landing on the twin foxes on her arms.

The claws created two large slash marks on the foxes before sending Ying Ling smashing into the ground. However, she was able to stand firm, so she just stood there in the crater that was created.

However, she knew that this match was already over.

There was no chance that she would be able to match Mo Ze Chen's pet, not to mention that Mo Ze Chen himself hadn't made a move yet. If Mo Ze Chen were to fight with his pet, who knows just how strong he would be…

It was just too bad that she didn't know that Xiao Bai was the true expert and Mo Ze Chen was just a vase. In fact, she was already facing Mo Ze Chen's true power because he couldn't produce an attack that was stronger than this.

Even with his physique, he wouldn't be able to reflect this kind of attack.

The only reason Xiao Bai could release this kind of attack was because of his special bloodline.

Seeing that Ying Ling wasn't doing anything, the crowd couldn't help feeling anxious.

They had already created an image of Mo Ze Chen in their mind and it would be very hard for them to break that image now.

If he were to defeat Ying Ling just like this, they would never be able to accept it.

So the crowd suddenly broke out in cheers for Ying Ling.

It wasn't because they believed in her, but rather they just didn't want her to give up.

However, Ying Ling ignored all of this as she looked at Mo Ze Chen with a different kind of expression.

When Mo Ze Chen saw this, he couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable.

He didn't know why he felt uncomfortable seeing this, but the way she looked at him made him feel that sense of discomfort.

After a long period of silence between them while the crowd cheered, Ying Ling suddenly turned to the referee and said, "I forfeit."

When those two words spread across the stadium, it became so silent that even a pin dropping to the ground could be heard.

Everyone looked at Ying Ling with looks of shock and disbelief as if they couldn't believe their ears.

What had she just said?

It sounded like she was saying that she was forfeiting!

But the shock that Ying Ling brought didn't end there…
