Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

"Liu, you might as well just say they're simple-minded and all brawn and no brains."

It's somewhat unbelievable.

Although Mingliu wasn't very familiar with her new companions, and they hadn't even exchanged more than a few proper words yet, she inexplicably felt... that she got along very well with them.

Of course, I'm not referring to special beings like Alicia and Rhodes, who allow even germaphobic fairies to have physical contact without any reservations. It's just... a feeling that we could become friends.

Ryu's cheeks flushed instantly, and she retorted loudly.

"I... I didn't say that!"

When Astraea walked in with the two clowns, Chloe and Lunova's gazes simultaneously and precisely locked onto the boy sitting on the sofa, smiling at them.

"Cough, cough, you're back."

Lunova instantly dropped her carefree demeanor and became somewhat reserved and shy.

"Rhodes—! Kitty wants to be petted, hugged, and lifted up high, meow~~!"

Compared to her, Kroy transformed into a missile, letting out a cheer and making a perfect leap, landing precisely in Rhodes' arms.

Rhodes chuckled and scratched Chloe's chin, then placed his warm palm on her flat stomach and gently kneaded it, instantly making the catgirl look so happy she was about to faint, and she made a "purring" sound in her throat.

He soothed the cat in his arms while talking to Lunova.

How was the team selection today?

Lunova scratched her head and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um...it feels pretty good."

Although she felt a little uncomfortable working with her companions for the first time, she didn't dislike the feeling at all.

“We didn’t go too deep, only reaching the 18th floor before turning back. But according to Nize, we didn’t gain as much as you did when you were with us.”

"It's okay, the main purpose is to improve everyone's skills and teamwork."

"Yes, Koizumi is really talented in the field of combat. She can quickly learn the techniques I teach her, but Jun-nee..."

Runova looked conflicted, as if she was trying to find a less direct way to put it.

Rhodes laughed.

"Don't worry, she's an internal affairs and logistics personnel, so she only needs to be slightly proficient in combat."

Not far away, Jun Suzuki, who was studying a recipe (ma sen hao) on the table, heard this and immediately raised his hand to express his strong agreement.

"Although fighting monsters is fun, I still prefer staying at home!"

Rhodes suddenly realized that the two demi-humans probably hadn't trained their magic attributes yet, so he coughed lightly, attracting the attention of all the girls in the room.

Kroi remained nestled in his arms like a boneless cat, seemingly showing no intention of getting down.

Rod then rubbed her ears while speaking to the girls.

"This world has many abilities and skills that are very suitable for you. You can go find Noin and Leyana; they should have already collected and organized relevant information for you."

"Furthermore, you should all have activated the system by now, so you can more intuitively know the price of the abilities you want to exchange for in the future, which will be much more convenient."

"However, my personal suggestion is that unless it is a special skill with particularly strong functionality, you should directly target national-level hunters, or at the very least, S-level hunters."

The king's power was too overwhelming for the current young girls, so Rhodes simply didn't mention it.

However, many of the hunters' abilities do indeed match those of the girls.

For example, Thomas's abilities are quite suitable for Nize of the Orc race.

Kaguya tossed her silky black hair, her gaze fleeting over the new blonde girl.

"That being said, apart from Noin and Leyana, we haven't personally witnessed the abilities of any S-rank hunters."

Upon hearing this, Che Huiyi immediately looked at Luo De. After seeing him nod in acknowledgment, she stood up gracefully, her short, neat golden hair drawing a beautiful arc under the magic lamp.

"Although I am only of average level among S-class hunters, since everyone is interested in our power, I will spar with you."

Kaguya was somewhat surprised.

She's a completely different type of person from Jun Suzuki and Izumi Shimomura...

Just as she was about to respond, Rod suddenly spoke up.

"Let Ryu and Che Huiyi have a friendly spar."

Liu blinked blankly.

"Huh? Me?"

Chapter 95 You're level 7 now? Copying indestructible attributes, Divine Body! (Please subscribe, please vote~)

Even as she stood on the spacious training field, Liu was still somewhat reluctant.

She wasn't the competitive type who would fight with newcomers.

Moreover, in her stubborn view, this was not in line with the style she should have as a "senior"!

Having finally risen from the youngest to a senior, she hoped to be respected and admired by her juniors, rather than leaving a strange impression.

Meanwhile, Che Huiyi, standing opposite Liu, was on high alert!

The fairy girl in front of her, who looked rather young, gave her a terrifying pressure, as if she were facing a BOSS alone, simply by standing there!

She swallowed hard.

Are all the adventurers in this world... this strong just by chance...?

Rhodes was watching me from a short distance away; I couldn't let them think that Rhodes's taste was so-so!

A long-dormant competitive spirit rekindled, and Che Huiyi drew her beloved longsword from her waist.

"excuse me!"

She gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, and with all her might, she thrust the sword tip into the stone pavement beneath her feet!

Skill: Taunting Vibration!

hum!

Centered on the longsword on the ground, a visible ripple of magic energy suddenly spread outwards!

All the girls affected instinctively prepared to attack, their eyes filled with hostility.

Fortunately, because of the distance, they quickly regained their senses.

The girls' expressions changed slightly.

A glint of surprise flashed in Leila's eyes as she spoke in astonishment.

"It's actually a rare forced group taunt skill, and it's even an avant-garde type?"

This is a natural-born PvE monster-pulling physique!

As for Ryu, who is the core target of the skill, her body's instincts have already taken over everything before her brain has even had time to react.

She instantly transformed into a gust of wind, the wooden sword in her hand whistling as it tore through the air, mercilessly sweeping towards Che Huiyi's neck.

—Oh no! I hit too hard!

When the sharp wind pressure hit her face, Liu suddenly came to her senses and was startled. She tried to forcefully sheathe her sword, but it was too late!

Che Huiyi was also slightly surprised by Ryuna's incredible speed, but her combat intuition was equally top-notch.

Like a nimble cat, her entire upper body fell backward at an incredible angle, and the sharp wooden knife almost grazed her nose!

The sharp wooden knife whistled past her nose!

"Oh?"

Liu was surprised for a moment, but after realizing that her opponent was not weak, a strong fighting spirit rose in her eyes!

"Watch out, I'm coming!"

"I can't ask for it!"

Che Huiyi took a deep breath, rushed forward, and unleashed dozens of sword lights at Liu in an instant!

Without any hesitation, Liu raised his wooden sword and returned everything!

Clang! Clang clang clang clang—!!!

In the blink of an eye, countless sparks of slashing energy exploded and burst forth in the center of Training Session 483!

In the high-speed attack and defense that ordinary people cannot even perceive with the naked eye, the two girls' battle-ready gazes clashed fiercely in the air.

All the girls watching could see that, in terms of swordsmanship and moves alone, the two were evenly matched!

They probably understood why Rod insisted on having Liu spar with Che Huiyi.

Because their fighting styles are just too similar!

Che Huiyi gritted her teeth, feeling an unprecedented amount of pressure.

It's not the kind of despair one feels when facing a national-level hunter.

It is a feeling of helplessness that no matter how you attack or change your moves, you cannot find the slightest flaw in your opponent!

This is... a complete crushing defeat based on practical experience!

This fairy girl... just how many life-or-death battles has she gone through...?

But I still have an ace up my sleeve!

"It's about to start!" Che Huiyi shouted, reminding Liu.

Skill: Sword Dance!

This is her most confident skill!

Che Huiyi's movements instantly became fluid and graceful, as if she were not fighting, but dancing under the moon.

The longsword in her hand drew one beautiful, visible silver curve after another in the air!

However, these beautiful curves conceal a deadly danger.

They surrounded Liu from all directions, at completely unpredictable angles!

The girls watching cheered in surprise at this sight.

"so beautiful!"

Rod clapped softly, enjoying the scene with a pleasant expression.

"As expected of a [Dancer]!"

However, although the girls cheered for Che Huiyi, they did not feel the slightest bit worried about Liu.

There was no hint of panic on Liu's face; instead, he skillfully unleashed a series of fluid and graceful slashes.

The skills of the fairy village, the swordsmanship of the Far East, the wisdom of the dwarfs, and the fighting style that fully showcases the advantages of a girl as radiant as the sun.

Even Kaguya, who always seemed to mock Ryu on the surface, had a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

That is the crystallization of justice that Ryu forged after being tempered and refined by the Star Maidens!

Just then, Che Huiyi poured all her magic into the sword!

Skill: Sword of Light!

A dazzling light burst forth from the blade, and a gigantic holy sword of light instantly took shape!

Ryu, now fully engaged in battle, also completed her parallel chanting.

"Wind of Light!"

Just as the two were about to unleash their final blow, their expressions changed drastically at the same time.

Oh no! Because I'd finally met such a suitable opponent after so long, I got carried away and forgot to stop!

Just as the two girls were burning with anxiety, and even foresaw the tragic future of the training ground being destroyed and them being lectured by the goddess with a smile—

Without warning, Rhodes appeared right between the two of them as if he had teleported.
