I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

This...this person is Master Mo?!

He looks completely different from the person she knew!

Cold, domineering, and as noble and majestic as a queen.

It wasn't just Yan Ziming's temperament that changed, but also the lightning spear that formed the domain, which gradually turned gray, as if it had been given life. The lightning that was jumping around returned to calm under the guidance of a will.

It didn't look as dazzling as before, but its power was even more terrifying. Endless lightning flowed and collided within it, just like nuclear fission. If it were to explode at full power, it might even pose a threat to a ninth-tier expert.

It's as if you're locked on with just one glance, and the next second you'll be struck by a spear like lightning, piercing right through.

"Phew..." Yan Ziming let out a breath. She wasn't very familiar with this state yet, and it would be too difficult for her to maintain it for a long time.

“Mo’er, do you know?” Liu Mengxian suddenly said, “Lightning has always had its own form from the very beginning.”

"It can take many forms, or it can be chaotic and disorderly, but either way is its most basic form. The key is how you imagine it."

Yan Ziming listened attentively to every word Liu Mengxian said, memorizing them all.

— Seize it

With this thought suddenly popping into his mind, Yan Ziming subconsciously reached out and placed his hand on the lightning spear.

chi chi-

To her disappointment, all she felt upon grasping it was boundless heat and a wisp of smoke. Yan Ziming's hand recoiled instantly as if it had touched boiling oil, and she hesitated to touch it again.

“Willpower is essential, and so is the element.” Liu Mengxian gave her a hint, and Yan Ziming understood instantly.

Yan Ziming's right arm gradually became transparent, and the crystal-clear blood vessels were clearly visible. However, what flowed inside was not blood, but light in a form similar to electrons.

Elementalize!

This is something most elemental ability users can't do; they don't even know that elementalization has such an application.

Only those with an affinity of over 98% for their own special ability can achieve this – this is elementalization.

It can transform one's own body into the element of one's own superpower, thereby greatly increasing attack power. The enhancement effect on Yan Zimo is no less than that of the Thunder Realm!

Yan Ziming's affinity for lightning is undoubtedly extremely high. After several transformations, the lightning blade has been nurtured within her body for many years, and the sequential-level crystal core has also enhanced her abilities. Finally, after breaking through to the eighth rank, she was able to achieve partial elementalization of her body.

Of course, it's possible to use it on the whole body, provided you can withstand the enormous strain. Forcing yourself to use it will cause great harm to your body.

Achieving a 98% affinity rate is extremely rare, or rather, almost impossible except for Yan Zimo!

Unless one has as many special opportunities as Yan Zimo, it is almost impossible for someone in the modern era to have an elemental affinity of more than 98%.

However, there is also an ancient legend that there are some people who are born with the purest element, with an affinity of 100%, making them the undisputed overlords of that element!

However, it is ultimately just a legend. Perhaps it existed in the past, but it doesn't exist in modern times... No, perhaps it does exist. The one in front of us may very well be such an existence.

Yan Ziming glanced at Liu Mengxian out of the corner of his eye, and a guess immediately formed in his mind.

After her right arm became elemental, Yan Ziming reached for the lightning spear again, and her right arm immediately erupted with endless lightning! The lightning spear also became completely transparent, as if it had merged with Yan Ziming's arm, making its power even more terrifying.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Information on the Contestants

The moment she grasped the lightning spear, the elemental aura spread from her arm to her shoulder, leaving everything as clear and sparkling as crystal, with countless lightning elements weaving through it.

Yan Ziming felt that her power had reached a critical point. Once she broke through it, she would be in the supercritical state of Yong Jingshi. However, whether she could enter the supercritical state depended on whether she had enough external energy to support her.

After all, it was the typhoon cloud that covered a large part of China that provided her with enough external energy during her time in Yongjing, allowing her to fight tirelessly.

"Hmm? Speak of the devil and he appears, is this... external energy?"

Countless tiny electrons appeared behind her, flashing like sparks. These were lightning elements floating in the air, and Yan Ziming, who had a high affinity for them, spontaneously gathered them in her right hand and began to rotate.

Yan Ziming had an idea. If things continued to develop this way, wouldn't the problem of external energy be solved when she was able to become an elemental being? Wouldn't she then be able to enter a supercritical state naturally?

This idea is feasible to some extent. Yan Ziming is well aware of how much the supercritical state would boost her. At that time, she might become invincible below the ninth rank!

"Wow, that's amazing..."

Tian Tian looked at Yan Ziming with longing. Now she really seemed like a god who controlled thunder. Endless lightning illuminated the entire living room and even reached outside, attracting the attention of the crowd.

Ye Qianxue and the others, who were originally in the room, also leaned out to watch Yan Ziming, who exuded endless majesty.

"Big sister...so handsome!" Ye Qianxue's eyes sparkled. Yan Ziming looked even more like the big sister she had in mind than before.

"Has Xiao Momo already come this far..." Mu Mu mused, her gaze hardening with even greater determination: "I'm looking forward to it..."

Why did Liu Mengxian say that Yan Ziming would see results in just a few days?

It was because she sensed that Yan Ziming's affinity for lightning had reached the point where he could become an element!

All of her training for Yan Ziming was based on the premise that she could become an elementalist; otherwise, it would have taken Yan Ziming at least a year to master the ability to wield the lightning spear and use it freely.

"Wow—that's much easier." Yan Ziming clicked his tongue in amazement and tried swinging the spear, as easily as swinging his own arm.

She had always used the Raiche and was worried that she might not be used to it if she switched to the spear. Now it seems that she was overthinking it. Even without the Raiche, she was very confident that she could sweep away most of her opponents in the Civilization Cup with just this spear.

Thunder Realm X Elementalization X Complete Unity

If the three are combined and fully unleashed, how terrifying would their power be?

"However... it's quite taxing."

Yan Ziming frowned. Elementalization was no easy task, and it was consuming energy too quickly. In just over a minute, half of her energy was gone, so it couldn't be used for long.

"Shrink the scope of your elementalization a bit; you're wasting it like this," Liu Mengxian reminded Yan Ziming, sensing the rapidly depleting energy within her.

"But I don't know how to narrow down the search..."

Yan Ziming looked dejected. She wasn't very familiar with using elemental transformation yet, and releasing it was her current limit. Controlling its range was a bit difficult.

Liu Mengxian walked up to her, placed one hand on her shoulder, and slowly slid it down to Yan Ziming's elbow. Strangely enough, the lightning element in Yan Ziming's body seemed to be under the control of a master, and moved down to her elbow as Liu Mengxian's hand moved.

"This is part of your own body. It's a bit unbecoming to need someone else's help to control it." Liu Mengxian tapped her forehead, seemingly annoyed by her lack of self-control.

"..." Yan Ziming was slightly embarrassed. Liu Mengxian was right. What kind of qualified superhuman could not even control a part of his own body?

"No one is born walking. Keep trying. You should remember what happened just now. Focus on that for the next few days. If you have any difficulties, come to me." Seeing that Yan Ziming was a little disappointed, Liu Mengxian still encouraged her.

"Hmm, Xian'er, you—"

Yan Ziming wanted to say something, but Xian'er didn't give her the chance. "Go practice quickly. I'm going to teach Tiantian next."

"...Alright, good luck, Tiantian."

She gave a thumbs-up to the nervous Tian Tian, ​​saying that this was an opportunity for her, and whether she could seize it and transform herself depended on her own destiny.

I hope she gets what she wants!

The presidential suite is very large, and there is an outdoor swimming pool on the floor above. Yan Ziming can make calls from there without worrying about disturbing Tiantian.

Just as she was about to take the elevator up, the elevator doors opened, and a file folder was placed on the elevator floor.

"What is it?... Oh, that guy Mandala actually sent it."

The moment Yan Ziming opened the file bag and found a USB drive inside, she knew that this was the information about all the contestants from the United States that Mandala had said she would give them for free, euphemistically called a "gift for meeting you."

To be honest, Yan Ziming didn't care much. With her strength, there was basically no one who could threaten her at this Civilization Cup.

How few people under the age of thirty can reach the eighth level?

But that's only the basics. Right now, her chances of winning against Mu Mu are still slim. Even if she masters the domain techniques that Liu Mengxian taught her, the outlook is still not optimistic, because Mu Mu also has similar techniques.

With the mindset that "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated," Yan Ziming decided to take a good look at the results to avoid making a big upset.

In addition, showing this information to her teammates is a good choice. At least she can fulfill some of her responsibilities as captain without fear of being gossiped about.

Yan Ziming picked up a tablet from the sofa, plugged in a USB drive using an adapter, and saw a password login screen with a friendly reminder in the upper right corner: "The password is the day we met~~"

"...Speaking of which, Mandala seems to have said that I'm on their side too...Could she also be a lesbian?"

Yan Ziming belatedly realized that he might have more interactions with her in the future.

Yan Ziming entered today's date into the password field, pressed Enter, and a document popped up, which she clicked on.

As expected, the document contained information on the United States contestants, which Yan Ziming carefully browsed.

"Twenty-three years old, fifth rank... twenty-four years old, fifth rank... twenty-seven years old... sixth rank."

After reading a few pages, Yan Ziming realized that the first half consisted entirely of contestants below the seventh rank, so he could ignore it and skipped directly to the second half. What came into view was a group of contestants who were high-ranking ability users.

"No way, there are even eighth-tier cultivators? Looks like there are still geniuses in the United States..."

Unexpectedly, Yan Ziming found an eighth-level being inside, which required some attention.

"Eric... 29 years old, Rank 8, member of the United States secret service, superpower... How come his superpower is empty! That's so unprofessional!" Yan Ziming complained about the incomplete information Mandala had given her, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt relieved.

She remembered that the rules stated that contestants did not need to report their identities, strengths, or special abilities in detail; they could participate simply by registering.

If the contestants themselves are unwilling to fill in the form, then there is no way to check it. Yan Ziming did the same.

"Wait a minute... is this guy really twenty-nine? He looks a bit older than he is..."

Yan Ziming's expression grew increasingly grim. Could the United States really be willing to abandon all sense of shame in order to win?

If you don't even need to report your identity, strength, or special abilities in detail, what kind of unprofessional registration procedure is this? Wouldn't people believe Yan Ziming if he said he was a ninth-rank cultivator?

What appears to be a rule designed to encourage active participation actually conceals a conspiracy by the United States!
