Chapter 703: Chapter 351: Divine Artifact? _1

Perhaps it was the shocking collision between Long Dangdang and Zisang Liuying that the ensuing matches all seemed dull by comparison. The second and third seed contestants both won their battles with overwhelming advantages, each being powerful mages of the 8th Rank. However, despite their victories, they did not display great excitement. The pressure brought by the previously mentioned opponents was simply too strong.

It was Yue Li’s turn to fight, and Long Dangdang planned to leave after this match. At this moment, an extra person appeared at Yue Li’s original location. It was none other than Zisang Liuying.

Long Dangdang turned to look at her. At this moment, Zisang Liuying’s expression was very calm, but there seemed to be deep thoughts mirrored in her eyes.

"From childhood to adulthood, I have always been a very competitive person. I understood from an early age that I was blessed with extraordinary talent. I believed that no one could compare to me. When I was a child, I knew that I was destined to succeed, and I developed a deep sense of pride," Zisang Liuying said calmly, as if she was talking to herself.

"Later, after I met Menglu, I was surprised to discover someone whose talent could match mine. Aside from a vague sense of competition, I thought that only someone like her was worthy to be my friend. Since childhood, I have dreamed of joining the demon hunting team. I have heard many legendary stories about the demon hunting team, and their contributions to humanity have often made my heart flutter. At that time, I thought to myself, ’One day in the future, I must lead a particularly powerful demon hunting team and become a titled demon hunter.’ I am a mage, Menglu is my priest. Centered around us, if we assemble a few more strong individuals, I am sure we could succeed. We then met Tang Leiguang, Chu Yu, and Caijuan, it was as if everything was predestined. I thought that all we needed now was a knight, and our team would be perfect. But then, you appeared. Did you know? For a while, I really despised you. I also despised Menglu."

Zisang Liuying turned to look at Long Dangdang with a hint of resentment in her eyes, "At that time, I felt that you had taken Menglu away, you had taken away my closest friend. I also hated Menglu. I couldn’t understand why she would abandon me for a distant relative. We have grown up together and possess similar talents. This is why we should stay together. Infuriated, I was fortunate that the others chose to follow me."

Turning her gaze back to the field, the competition had begun. Yue Li was now releasing her Simultaneous Solar-Lunar Radiation Spirit Furnace. Her competitor was tough. This was bound to be a fierce fight. Everyone wished to be among the top six and avoid having to face intense competition like that presented by Long Dangdang in the additional rounds.

"With time, my partners and I were constantly on missions, fully dedicated to cultivation. Not only do we possess talent, we have also put in more effort than the average person in order to surpass you all. I was eager to stand in front of Menglu someday and tell her the choice she made was wrong."

"But every time I faced you, I realized that we haven’t left you behind. You’ve always been keeping up with us, especially you and Long Kongkong. Your growth speed greatly exceeded my expectations. Up until the moment when you and Menglu utilized Light’s Praise to sacrifice themselves against the wraith entity. At that moment, all the hatred in my heart disappeared. It felt like I had to admit that Menglu’s choice was possibly correct, that you were deserving."

"Later on when it turned out that you did not die, I was overjoyed. I not only reached out to you but also to Menglu. My wish was for you, Menglu, and even Long Kongkong, to join my team. I am sure we could form the strongest demon hunting team. You are the missing knight in our team. I fantasized about how with your addition to our team, there would be no obstacles in our way and we would be able to achieve success at the fastest speed."

"However, everything went against my expectation. Both you and Menglu turned me down, firmly and definitively. I couldn’t understand why. Could your teammates compare to me? Yue Li is indeed good, but when it comes to magic, she lags far behind me. Why wouldn’t you choose me? I am sure that if you were willing to, changing teammates at the demon hunting team’s headquarters wouldn’t be difficult for us."

"I started to work even harder. I aimed to prove through my strength that you were wrong. I wanted your demon hunting team to always trail behind us, never able to surpass us. As I couldn’t fuse with another spirit furnace for JingJing’s sake, I put all my efforts into the element spirit furnace, which has already completed its third evolution. I believed that in this area, I was the strongest. In terms of controlling elements, along with the fusion relationship between Jingjing and me, I am confident to fight even against 9th Rank powerful experts. Therefore, when I found out that you were my opponent today, my first thought was to defeat you, even submit you, make you admit the gap between us, and then again invite you and Menglu to join my team. But you are stronger than I could have imagined. You have the five-headed golden dragon. Although I am not sure who would win if you used your knight’s skill, I have to admit, you are still someone who can stand on the same starting line as me. I started to understand why Menglu, even after becoming the leader of the demon hunting team, gave the position to you. I had to admit, her judgement is better than mine. Her choice was the right one. Hence, after saying all this, I want to ask you, is the reason why you are unwilling to be in a demon hunting team with me because I refuse to give up the leader’s position?"
