Chapter 586: Chapter 585: The Ignored Lingling

Clack!

A slender figure holding a dazzling scepter slowly emerged from the starlight, her high heels clicking crisply on the stairs condensed from starshine, each sound resonating at the core of one’s heart.

The spectators on-site, viewing through a large screen, were struck with awe and fascination at the sight, even Shao Zifeng himself was rooted to the spot.

Having evolved, Lingling shed the naivety of a young girl, her figure as tall and mature as any adult woman. She wore a crystal crown adorned with blue starbursts and was dressed in an elegant long gown dominated by green and star-blue patterns, her shoulder-length green hair fading into the color of her dress, trailing behind her like a light blue sheer curtain on the stairs.

As she moved, her slender, straight legs were intermittently visible beneath her gown, with glimpses of starshine particles dancing from the tips of her hair and the hem of her dress.

Compared to humans, Lingling’s features were more exquisite, her eyes filled with starlight exuded an innate nobility and aloofness, enough to make any creature feel unworthy in her presence.

Yes, the evolved Lingling now had a mouth.

The sound of her footsteps stopped, the starshine stairs behind her fading away, converging into several Star Crystals floating behind her.

"mi~"

At that moment, the Star Sprites adorning the central venue’s dome awoke. Thousands of blue luminescent lights descended like falling stars, affectionately surrounding Lingling and emitting faint cries, making the scene even more dazzling and dreamlike.

Encircled by the Star Sprites, Lingling resembled a queen, her cool eyes slightly furrowing her delicate brows as she gazed upon the scarred earth below.

"Yo~"

The fawn, noticing Shao Zifeng’s dazed expression, nudged him discontentedly with its little head.

Shao Zifeng snapped back to reality and shouted loudly, "Lingling, go save Yaya!"

Hearing Shao Zifeng’s voice, Lingling first brightened, then her gaze turned cold as she saw the Yaya at the bottom of the Dragon Spine Mountain Range, pierced by purplish-black lines: "Audacious fool, how dare you desecrate the duke’s Dragon Rider, who gave you the courage?"

Her cool, mature voice resonated in everyone’s hearts, leaving the spectators exchanging looks.

The duke?

What duke, that sounds somewhat familiar.

"mi~"

The Star Sprites, sensing Lingling’s anger, turned their heads in unison towards the corrupted dragon in midair, issuing their loudest cries in support, yet, red-faced with effort, they failed to make much noise.

The little creatures immediately became dejected, their little limbs drooping.

Yet facing Lingling’s interrogation, Li Fangyan turned a deaf ear.

Her purplish-black eyes fixated on Shao Zifeng, her face twisted with insanity as she repeated like a madwoman, "Found him, I found him again, hehehe..."

"Kill him!"

"Roar!"

The tainted Poison Fire Flying Dragon roared and spat a stream of purplish-black dragon flame toward Shao Zifeng.

Lingling’s face turned cold, and with a flick of her scepter, thick, twisted thorny vines shot up from the ground, intertwining into a shield that protected Shao Zifeng.

Boom!

The powerful shockwave pushed Shao Zifeng back a distance, with broken wood scattered around him, burning with flames amidst the lingering smoke.

Shao Zifeng looked up to see Lingling floating in front of him.

Lingling tilted her head slightly, revealing her perfect profile, "Duke, with me here, no one will..."

Boom!

Before she could finish, a ball of purplish-black flame narrowly missed her and blasted toward Shao Zifeng.

"Yo~"

The fawn timely wrapped Shao Zifeng with vines, pulling him from the explosive fireball.

Seeing this, Lingling’s lips twitched slightly, her voice tinged with annoyance as she pointed at Li Fangyan, "Did you not see..."

Boom!

Several fireballs were cast in succession. Li Fangyan, as if bewitched, laughed crazily while repeating, "Kill him, kill him now!"

Watching Shao Zifeng trying to evade while tied up by a doe, Lingling, feeling utterly ignored, finally lost its temper. It released the scepter to float next to it and its long hair began to move without any wind. Two whips, glittering with starlight, materialized in its hands.

Crack, crack!

The thorn whips, twinkling with starlight, snaked through the fireballs and wrapped around the neck of the Poison Fire Flying Dragon.

"Let me tell you..." Lingling, holding one end of the whip, pulled the thorn whip straight and fiercely started to swing it around, "enough is enough!!!"

Boom, boom, boom!

The flying dragon, its neck caught by the long whip, was smashed onto the ground by Lingling as if it were swinging a giant hammer, creating waves of shockwaves.

The Dragon Spine Mountain Range trembled and cracked as numerous thorny vines shot up from the ground, rolling through the smoke towards Li Fangyan and the dragon, tightly binding them together.

Then Lingling flung the whip, transformed into specks of starlight, and instantly appeared beside the dragon. The whip in its hand became a myriad of shadows, cracking through the air. After finishing, it still wasn’t satisfied, and bullets of Star Crystals shot from behind it, exploding into clusters of starry blue mushroom clouds.

The spectators were stunned by this scene.

What just happened? That high and cold queenly demeanor just instantly turned into a berserk warrior.

After the explosions, the Starshine particles reassembled into Star Crystals and flew back to Lingling, who disdainfully looked at the dragon slumped on the ground like mud and said, "You lowly plebeians are only worthy of kneeling before the Duke and begging for mercy."

Having said that, it turned around, opened its arms wide, and joyfully shouted, "Duke I..."

"Lingling, dodge!"

Lingling blinked and swiftly transformed into specks of starlight.

Whoosh!

Purple-black dragon fire shot through the starlight, trailing a long tail of flames, and savagely hit the outermost protective barrier, causing ripples of energy from the impact.

Not far away, the reappeared Lingling looked at the hole in its dress and had a slightly ugly look on its face.

It glanced at the solemn Shao Zifeng and followed his gaze back to where the battle had occurred.

There, the blown-apart corpse kept melting and finally pooled into a viscous purple-black liquid in a depression.

Gurgle gurgle.

A few bubbles surfaced on the viscous liquid before a pale and beautiful face emerged from beneath it.

Inside the Central Military Academy’s war room, the participants’ eyes were firmly glued to the glass wall.

A team member in combat gear swallowed and asked, "Captain, what in the world is that thing?"

Lu Lu narrowed her eyes at the woman and said, "Try contacting the academy; something feels off."

The speaker quickly pulled out a mobile phone, then with a troubled expression, said, "Captain, there’s definitely a problem. There’s no signal."

"You’ve got to be kidding, we’re using military communication devices..." the others took out their phones only to stop midsentence.

"Definitely something wrong." Lu Lu stood up from the sofa, drew her military saber, making it twirl, and then looked at her team with a suave smile, "Brothers, a chance to distinguish ourselves has literally come knocking."

"Shang Yu and Shen Fei, you go to the control room, Tian Er and Old Four, you go check the exits."

"Stay in touch via walkie-talkie."

The team stood straight and saluted, "Understood!"

At that moment, Shang Yu hesitated, "What about you, Captain?"

"Me?" Lu Lu chuckled, "I’m of course going to find someone to fight. I want to see who’s daring enough to stir up trouble here."

On the other hand, the University of the Capital also sensed something was amiss, but since they were not military academy students and hadn’t undergone related training, they dared not make any rash moves.

Meanwhile, the internet was nearly exploding.

Just at the most crucial moment of the contest, the live broadcast cut off, and when it did, it was for 2 full minutes. Could anything be more annoying than being left hanging like this?
