Chapter 356
Should we fight again?
Yu Tianheng knelt on one knee, breathing heavily, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
The pride of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex was utterly crushed in the face of that earth-shattering power.
He raised his head, looking at the colossal beast that resembled a mountain range, and then at the terrifyingly calm figure in blue robes at the beast's feet. His eyes were filled with boundless fear and bewilderment.
Dugu Yan slumped to the ground, her emerald eyes losing all their luster, leaving only a blank stare of someone who had survived a catastrophe.
Her prized poison seemed utterly laughable in the face of absolute power.
She finally understood why her grandfather treated Geng Jincheng with such seriousness.
Yu Feng, Oslo, Graphite, and Stone Mill all collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to even get up.
Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia glowed faintly, and she herself was teetering on the verge of collapse due to the exhaustion of her soul power.
In this suffocating silence, Lin Xia's gaze calmly swept over the Huang Dou members, who looked as if they had been ravaged by a storm.
His gaze swept over Yu Tianheng's strained body, Dugu Yan's dazed eyes, Yu Feng Aosi Luo's disheveled state, Shi Mo Shi Mo's dejected state, Ye Lingling's weakness, Qin Ming's solemnity, and Meng Shenji's complex expression.
Then, he said it softly, even with a hint of... embarrassment?
A smile broke the chilling silence.
"Uh……"
Lin Xia raised her hand and rubbed the tip of her nose with the knuckle of her index finger. The action was so casual that it was as if she had just accidentally messed up the room, rather than summoning a prehistoric beast that almost blew up the entire training ground and everyone inside.
"Um...do you guys...still want to fight?"
His voice wasn't loud, and it even carried a hint of inquiry, his tone as relaxed as if he were asking, "The weather's nice today, would you like to have a cup of tea together?"
However, these words were like a thunderclap to the ears of the Royal Fighting Team!
"beat?!"
"Still fighting?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
Yu Tianheng suddenly raised his head, his face instantly losing all color, and his eyes were filled with utter absurdity and fear as he looked at Lin Xia.
Fight against this being who can summon such monsters at will?
This is no longer a question of whether or not someone is courting death!
Seeking death requires at least a process; it requires the other party to take action!
To "spar" with such an existence?
The other party didn't even need to actually make a move; just one more sneeze from that giant beast would probably wipe them all out!
That was an instantaneous, complete, and inevitable annihilation!
Overwhelmed by the thought, the intense will to survive and the immense psychological gap caused the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family to almost instinctively shake his head frantically, using every last bit of strength he had left!
The shaking of the head was so wide and so fast, it was as if the head was about to be shaken off the neck, as if afraid that if the shaking was too slow, the other party would misunderstand its meaning.
"No! No more fighting! Absolutely no more fighting!"
Yu Tianheng's voice was hoarse and dry, with a noticeable tremor, almost as if he were shouting.
His shout was like opening a floodgate.
"We're not fighting anymore! We surrender! We surrender!"
Yu Feng lay on the ground, shouting with all his might, his voice trembling with tears.
"I surrender! I completely surrender!"
Oslo also struggled to agree.
The graphite and stone mill brothers shook their heads silently and vigorously, their movements perfectly synchronized, their eyes filled with utter admiration and lingering fear.
Dugu Yan slumped to the ground, her lips moving a few times, but in the end she simply lowered her head helplessly, tacitly agreeing with Yu Tianheng's words. Pride?
In the face of absolute power, that is the least valuable thing.
Ye Lingling nodded slightly, her cool face showing exhaustion at the thought of no longer having to fight.
Qin Ming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Lord Lin... your strength is profound, we... are truly convinced. Our sparring... ends here."
His gaze towards Lin Xia was incredibly complex, containing awe, apprehension, and even a hint of...gratitude.
Are you grateful that the other party showed mercy?
Although this way of showing mercy is quite shocking.
Meng Shenji quickly stepped forward, a sincere smile plastered on his face.
"Lin is joking! The difference in strength... cough, everyone has already fully realized it! Realized it! There's no need to compete anymore, no need to compete anymore! Haha..."
He chuckled dryly, trying to ease the tension, but his laughter sounded particularly jarring in the quiet training ground.
Seeing everyone's expressions of relief and eagerness to admit defeat, Lin Xia's embarrassment seemed to intensify, but her eyes remained calm and undisturbed.
He waved his hand casually, as if he had accomplished something insignificant.
"Alright, little one."
Lin Xia's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible gentleness as she turned to the mountain-like Tyranitar, which exuded an aura of destruction.
"Shrink down, then we won't fight anymore."
The deep, rumbling sound, like the rumbling of the earth's veins, stopped instantly.
Under the horrified and incredulous gazes of everyone, the massive body of the hundred-meter-tall behemoth—Sandstorm King Tyrannosaurus—suddenly glowed with a soft light on its dark golden carapace and lava-like patterns.
As the light swirled, its size seemed to be compressed by an invisible hand, and it began to shrink rapidly at a visible speed!
Ten meters... five meters... three meters... one meter...
In just a few breaths, that being that would suffocate even a Contra Douluo transformed from a world-destroying primordial beast into a tiny creature less than half a meter tall!
The shrunken Tyranitar still retains some of its original shape, but its proportions have become much rounder and cuter.
The dark gold shell has been transformed into a texture similar to a small dinosaur doll, covering its tiny body. Small spikes still remain on its back and head, but they are no longer ferocious; instead, they look rather cute.
The lava patterns turned into faint orange-red lines, meandering on the dark gold background, like some kind of peculiar decoration.
Those eyes, which were originally as red as a lava abyss and indifferent, were now round and watery, though still red, and had a... cute and innocent look.
There was even a hint of... grievance?
It shook its little head, then took two short steps and ran to Lin Xia's feet.
Its speed was completely different from its sluggishness in its massive form; it appeared exceptionally agile.
"Ban~ji~"
It raised its little head and let out a short, childish bark at Lin Xia, completely lacking the earth-shattering roar from before, instead sounding like a puppy whining.
Even more astonishingly, it stretched out its two front claws, which were also shrunk countless times but still covered with tiny scales, and unceremoniously grabbed Lin Xia's trouser leg, and then... began to shake it vigorously!
At the same time, those big, round, red eyes stared unblinkingly at Lin Xia, filled with an incredibly clear longing and... urging?
"Bangira! Bangira!" (End of Chapter)
