Chapter 546: Chapter 546: Terminally Ill Heiress on Death Game Island (62)
In the days that followed, Fang Qing and Huo Yi’s sparring in the gym drew quite a crowd.
Initially, the players cautiously observed, secretly recording the moves to learn.
Later, realizing that the two were indifferent and paid no attention, they openly began learning.
Fang Qing and Huo Yi had long been advised by Qiann Yan to let them learn if they wanted, without interference.
Jing XiYuaan was also learning, but due to past events, he couldn’t openly study, so he secretly noted the moves and practiced in his room.
Every time Qiann Yan entered the arena, she would kill a fierce beast.
Fang Qing couldn’t kill the beasts, but escaping was not a problem.
Huo Yi could still manage to kill wolves but struggled against tigers and lions for the time being.
However, with each encounter, their ability to handle the beasts visibly improved, exciting the players watching.
Many players who learned their moves barely escaped the beasts, experiencing severe hardship, yet it filled them with hope.
Jing XiYuaan stood on the game field once more, this time facing five-star difficulty with 11 cages. Lacking enough teammates, he had to select random players to join him.
When Qiann Yan was chosen, she found fate to be quite peculiar.
By now, the original memories regarding the game field held no reference value. The moment she killed the tiger, everything changed.
Qiann Yan stood behind the back of cage number 8, also noticing it was empty inside.
Jing XiYuaan’s expression changed slightly upon seeing Qiann Yan; it was the first time she was randomly chosen to assist him.
He couldn’t help but glance at Qiann Yan’s face, and their eyes met.
Qiann Yan looked terrifyingly indifferent, making Jing XiYuaan think she truly intended to finish him off, not missing such an opportunity.
When Qiann Yan said the cage was safe, Jing XiYuaan didn’t believe it at all.
He cast a firm glance at Qiann Yan, finally diverting his gaze to choose another empty cage option.
"The correct answer is number 8, R64 player, unfortunately, you chose incorrectly and will face a five-minute penalty," the mechanical, monotonous voice stated, leaving Jing XiYuaan stunned.
He looked at Qiann Yan in disbelief, was the empty cage really with her?
Jing XiYuaan had no time to dwell on it, as the tiger in the cage was released. It charged out excitedly, lunging at him without hesitation.
Jing XiYuaan dodged awkwardly, rolling on the ground several times.
He quickly used the moves he had recently learned, but his speed was no match for the tiger. Like other ordinary players, without inner strength, he too was struck by the tiger’s paw.
The immense power churned his chest cavity. Seeing the tiger about to pounce on him, he rolled away again, glancing back at the white marks left by the tiger’s claws on the ground, his scalp prickling, not daring to be distracted as he clutched his knife and stood up.
Qiann Yan stood inside the glass room, coldly watching Jing XiYuaan’s desperate struggle under the tiger’s claws.
From time to time, he would be scratched or hit by the tiger. In less than three minutes, his body bore many bloody scratches.
His will to survive was strong, even with one arm dislocated by the tiger’s pull, he refused to give up.
His thigh was also bitten by the tiger, yet enduring the intense pain, he slashed twice at the tiger’s eyes.
The tiger evaded quickly, releasing him, and he took the opportunity to escape.
By then, Jing XiYuaan not only was exhausted but also lost too much blood. If he went through two more rounds, he wouldn’t hold out.
However, at this moment, the mechanical, monotonous voice rang, sounding heavenly to his ears.
The fierce tiger, at that moment, was enclosed by an iron cage rising from the ground.
He suddenly ran out of strength, lying on the ground as if dead.
His eyes involuntarily turned to Qiann Yan’s direction, seeing her calm demeanor, filled with resentment.
He believed he came to this place because of her, and almost died under the tiger because of her.
If only she’d shared her tiger-fighting cultivation technique earlier, he wouldn’t have ended up like this.
