Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 369: The Great War Begins, Chu Sheng is Missing?
Newark City.
International Youth Martial Arts Center.
To prepare for this unprecedented “Great Xia Annihilation Battle” and prevent any accidents,
Over a dozen figures in Magic Robes had appeared around the perimeter of the originally transparent, hemispherical protective shield.
Three Ninth-Grade Array Masters, leading ten Eighth-Grade Array Masters, were working together to reinforce the Barrier!
Countless complex golden runes intertwined in the air like chains, drastically increasing the strength of the protective shield.
Afterward, they remained in the Array Control Chamber, ready to maintain the stability of the Protection Array at all times.
Meanwhile.
Inside the Beast Fighting Arena, the members of the six teams had all arrived.
The ten members of the Great Xia Team stood like a lone island on one side of the arena.
Surrounding them on all sides, in a fan-shaped encirclement, were six Top Notch teams from the world’s great powers, their eyes fierce and their auras fully unleashed.
The European Union also had a Beast Tamer, who had actually summoned a massive Western Flying Dragon!
The Rose Kingdom made just as big of a splash. Next to their captain, Ivan, stood a Polar Bear that was over ten meters tall, like a small, snowy mountain.
The group from the Ancient Aie Empire was the strangest of all. One of them was wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of eerie green eyes…
Every team’s presence was overwhelming!
This suffocating pressure would have made an ordinary person’s legs turn to jelly in fear.
But the ten from Great Xia stood with their backs ramrod straight, like ten unbending javelins.
If they had felt a trace of nervousness in the lounge earlier,
then right now, actually standing here, all that remained in their hearts was a battle intent that burned from the very marrow of their bones!
That was the indomitable pride of the Great Xia People!
A slow exhale…
Gu Yuexi stood at the very front, her white robes stirring without any wind.
On her shoulder, Chu Sheng slowly stretched his body.
“Bzzzz? ’Oh, look. Isn’t this the Six Great Sects besieging Bright Summit?’”
BLAAAARE—!!!
As the desolate, heavy sound of a horn echoed through the sky, the match officially began!
BOOM!!!
In almost the exact same instant, the teams from the six nations didn’t bother with probing attacks or any thoughts of one-on-one duels. They all charged forward at once!
“Kill!!!”
The Beast Tamer from Europe was the first to strike. With a beat of its wings, the Flame Sub-Dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a blast of Dragon Breath powerful enough to incinerate a city, aiming straight for the Great Xia group!
Immediately after.
ROAR—!
The Rose Kingdom’s Polar Bear moved as well. It was like a runaway heavy tank, launching the extremely simple but utterly fatal “Mount Tai Pressing Down”!
The Mummies from the Ancient Aie Empire waved their Magic Staffs, and countless grains of yellow sand transformed into venomous scorpions and poisonous snakes that swarmed forward, blanketing the sky and earth.
The Mechanically Enhanced People from the White Eagle Empire went all out with their firepower, unleashing a torrent of lasers and missiles as if they were free.
…
In that moment.
The multicolored lights of Skills instantly drowned everything.
“Careful! Form up!”
Shen Yixuan roared, a sharp light exploding in his eyes.
He didn’t retreat. Instead, he took a step forward, positioning himself at the very front of the team.
The long spear in his hand danced wildly, forming an impenetrable curtain of steel as the Qi Blood Power within him erupted without reservation!
“Get… back!!!”
BOOM!
He had actually, by himself, withstood the frontal charge of the Polar Bear!
Although his feet plowed two deep furrows into the ground and his face instantly flushed red, he didn’t retreat even half a step!
At the same time.
The sky-filling Dragon Breath Flame had arrived.
“Trying to burn me to death? Dream on!”
Xiao Tian, who had just been healed by Chu Sheng not long ago, still looked a bit pale, but his show-off attitude was back in full force.
Gritting his teeth, he directly summoned his Celestial Tier Defense Treasure. It transformed into a massive wall of light, blocking the entirety of the Dragon Breath that was hot enough to melt steel!
“Now! Qin Feng!”
“On my way!”
A clear eagle’s cry rang out.
Riding the Black-Feathered Profound Eagle, Qin Feng shot forward like a black bolt of lightning, instantly breaking through the blockade of Skills to seize the high ground of the battlefield!
He drew his War Bow to its limit, and arrows wreathed in Wind and Thunder Power rained down on the enemies below!
And in the very center of the battlefield.
Gu Yuexi also made her move.
She didn’t use her sword.
Instead, her hands formed a seal, once again condensing a massive Sword of Realm!
After the Sword of Realm took shape, it instantly split into dozens of smaller swords!
These small swords fanned out behind her like a peacock’s tail, then each locked onto a target and shot off with a whistle!
A single person, simultaneously splitting her focus to control dozens of swords and fight dozens of top-notch prodigies!
For a time, Sword Qi crisscrossed the battlefield, and the sound of explosions was endless.
These ten from Great Xia were like ten of the toughest nails, hammered firmly into the ground, remaining unshakable no matter how the storm raged around them!
But amidst this chaotic slaughter.
One figure seemed particularly… out of place.
A black mosquito.
It wasn’t fighting passionately like the others, nor did it unleash any world-destroying ultimate moves.
It just flew about erratically in the rain of Skills—up and down, left and right.
It looked like a headless fly.
But the strange thing was.
Whether it was the violent Dragon Breath, the dense barrage of missiles, or even the all-pervasive poisonous sand, nothing could even graze it!
This sly bastard was clearly slacking off.
And then, in the middle of his slacking, he suddenly… vanished.
…
In the major live stream channels, the one-sided beatdown everyone had worried about—the Great Xia Team being instantly mobbed and killed—had not happened!
Great Xia, fighting one against six, had actually managed to create a 50-50 stalemate, at least for a short while.
“What are the odds?”
“It’s 50-50! Look, Shen Yixuan is the captain for a reason! He’s holding off three members of the Rose Team all by himself!”
“Xiao Tian isn’t bad either! Relying on his Defense Magical Treasure, he’s blocking so many Skills even while injured!”
“No, are you guys blind? Can’t you see the most badass one is Gu Yuexi! She’s fighting at least twenty people by herself! The only reason it’s a 50-50 fight is because of her!”
“Is this her true strength? She really does have what it takes.”
“So what if she’s strong? If they’d stuck to the original rules, wouldn’t they be in a much safer position?”
“Heh, you’re all too optimistic. Don’t just look at the 50-50 stalemate now. Several people from the other teams haven’t even made a move yet!”
And just as predicted.
In the arena.
William, who had been hovering in mid-air with his arms crossed and watching coldly from the sidelines, finally made his move.
He took a step forward, and the spot on his chest that had been covered by his Battle Armor suddenly flared with a piercing red light!
It was… the implanted Emperor Realm Demon Beast Crystal Core!
“Phase two… activate!”
As his voice fell, William’s aura instantly skyrocketed!
If before he was merely a raging fire, now he was an active volcano on the verge of erupting!
His aura, originally at the Peak of Seventh-Grade, was forcibly raised to the Eighth-Grade, and it was still climbing!
BANG!
The air cracked.
William transformed into a crimson meteor, vanishing on the spot with a terrifying roar that tore through the sound barrier.
When he reappeared, it was right in front of Gu Yuexi!
Less than a meter away!
“Go… down!!!”
William laughed maniacally, his fist, which was covered in magma-like patterns, carried world-destroying power as it brutally smashed toward Gu Yuexi’s face!
Gu Yuexi frowned, and three Swords of Realm immediately flew back to block the blow!
However, this was only the beginning.
“Hahaha! It’s not over yet!”
William gave her no chance to breathe. His figure flickered again, sticking to her like a maggot on a rotting bone, and he followed up with punch after punch, each one landing with brutal force in a completely suicidal fighting style!
Gu Yuexi could only defend passively, her brow tightly furrowed.
’This madman!’
To withstand William’s torrential assault, she was forced to recall more than half of the dozens of Swords of Realm she had sent out to control the battlefield!
…
At this critical moment, when everyone was sweating bullets for the Great Xia Team,
No one noticed.
In an inconspicuous corner at the very edge of the Beast Fighting Arena,
a tiny, sesame-seed-sized black dot was clinging to the inner wall of the faintly glowing golden protective shield.
It was none other than Chu Sheng, who had just been “flying around the arena erratically.”
This sly bastard had taken advantage of the chaos to sneak over to the edge.
’Fight?’
’No rush. Gu Yuexi should be able to hold on.’
In fact, he had set his sights on this protective shield long ago.
The nature of this shield was somewhat similar to solidified Mental Power, so Chu Sheng wondered if he could take a couple of sips.
He wouldn’t know until he tried, and once he did…
[Ding! Mental Power +1000]
[Ding! Mental Power +1000]
[…]
The system’s notification chimes rang endlessly in Chu Sheng’s consciousness.
’Holy crap, I can actually absorb it!’
It wasn’t that Chu Sheng’s Mental Power couldn’t increase anymore. Rather, it was that under the system’s limitations, “Xiaobai’s” Divine Soul would only continue to absorb power when his Mental Power was lower than his Qi Blood.
But other sources of Mental Power were not subject to this restriction.
To Chu Sheng’s surprise, not only could he actually absorb the protective shield, but the amount of Mental Power it contained was simply immense.
Meanwhile.
In the Array Control Chamber.
Three white-haired Ninth-Grade Array Grandmasters sat cross-legged, their hands maintaining the Array Marks.
Suddenly, one of the old men’s brows furrowed sharply.
“Hm?”
He opened his eyes in confusion and glanced at the array monitoring panel in front of him.
“Strange… why has the Array’s Energy drain rate suddenly increased?”
“Did an attack land on the shield?”
Another Grandmaster sensed it as well and shook his head.
“Not sure.”
“It might be the aftershock from that fire dragon earlier causing instability in the Array.”
“Young people these days. They really don’t know how to hold back when they fight.”
“Let’s stabilize it first! If the protective shield breaks, the tens of thousands of people in the audience will be in danger!”
“Yes!”
And so, completely unaware, these Array Masters began to desperately pour Mental Power into that ’gap’.
This formed an extremely bizarre closed loop.
The ones outside desperately poured it in.
The one inside desperately sucked it up.
Chu Sheng was having the time of his life absorbing it all~
In just a few minutes, he had absorbed tens of thousands of points!
“Bzzzz. (’Thank you for nature’s gift…’)”
Of course.
Of course, Chu Sheng wasn’t just absorbing energy.
While he was at it, his two eyes were also fixed on the situation in the arena.
’Hm?’
’Something’s not right.’
’How are they not holding on?!’
It turned out that as Gu Yuexi recalled some of her Swords of Realm and got tied down by William, the people she had been suppressing immediately joined the attack on the other members of the Great Xia team.
The 50-50 balance was instantly shattered.
It quickly became 60-40, then 70-30 in the enemy’s favor!
It was about to become 80-20!
If this continued, people were going to die!
Luo Qingyu’s whip was clashing with a Caucasian competitor.
Just then, two more people attacked her from both sides. She tried to counter with her whip, but it was firmly entangled by her opponent’s weapon!
Just as two more attacks were about to strike!
Suddenly, ten feather blades wreathed in flames shot over and blocked the attacks!
It was the Soul-Bursting Flame Feather!
And it wasn’t just her!
Ten Soul-Bursting Flame Feathers appeared beside every member of the Great Xia team!
With the help of these Feather Blades, all the fighters from Great Xia suddenly felt the pressure ease, as if they had one, or even several, masters fighting alongside them!
On the other side.
In the air.
Although Gu Yuexi was tied down by William, her Divine Sense was covering the entire field.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Flaming Feather Blades and the Great Xia members being pulled back from the brink of danger, her tightly knitted brow finally relaxed a little.
’That damned mosquito. He finally decided to make a move.’
’Since my back is covered…’
Gu Yuexi took a deep breath and looked at the mad dog in front of her, William. The chill in her eyes instantly froze into ice.
’Then I can focus on taking care of a nuisance like you.’
