First Encounter with the Abyss: Divergence and Struggle!

Lin Qingyan jumped off the boulder and, like a dragonfly skimming the water, stepped over the stones to reach Jiang Yuan's side.

"generally."

"If I were to take action, it wouldn't have taken this long at all."

She said proudly.

The future Empress Qingyan will never submit to anyone.

"Yes, yes, you're amazing."

Jiang Yuan casually agreed, and couldn't help but smile as he looked at his increased level and the 16 merit points on his record card.

It's definitely faster to level up by killing monsters!

Seeing his expression, Lin Qingyan was furious and resolved to find an opportunity to show him her power and give him a real shock.

"What should we do with these ferocious beast corpses?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Throw it away! You think you can just move it?"

"It feels like such a waste..."

"You can take them with you," Lin Qingyan sneered, "or you can start a fire and eat them now, so they won't go to waste."

"..."

I never expected her to have such a sharp tongue.

The two continued deeper into the area, establishing rules along the way.

"When encountering a ferocious beast, both sides take turns attacking, and the dropped equipment and materials are exclusively kept by the killer."

"The other person can only watch from the sidelines and must not interfere with the other person or steal experience points."

This is also to avoid the two of them getting into a fight over experience.

"Speaking of which, Lin Xiaohua, aren't you a healer? Do you have a way to kill the ferocious beast alone?"

"Aren't you the same? I've never seen an ordinary assassin deal 40,000 damage at LV2 after job advancement."

"It seems we all have quite a few secrets."

As they were talking, they suddenly darted to the side at the same time.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp, black thorn, one meter long, shot out from the ground.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the ground ahead shook violently, the soil and rocks cracked open, and a giant lizard, two meters tall, crawled out from it, its back covered with sharp barbs.

[Abyss Monster]: Earth-Splitter Lizard.

[Grade]: Common.

[Level]: LV6.

[Skill]: Launch barbs.

[Note]: A creature with some intelligence, despicable and cunning, who likes to launch sneak attacks from underground.

"It's my turn now."

Lin Qingyan put her hands in her coat pockets and stepped forward.

Looking at her outstanding and beautiful back, Jiang Yuan was also curious about what gave her the confidence to dare to go down into the abyss alone.

Lin Qingyan stood ten meters in front of the ferocious beast. Although she was only wearing casual jeans and a black hooded jacket, it was still hard to hide her beautiful figure. She had long legs, a pert bottom, and a slender waist. In particular, the glimpse of her snow-white neck that was revealed under the black jacket was mesmerizing.

But the abyssal beasts don't care whether you're beautiful or ugly; in their eyes, humans are all food.

"Hiss..."

The Earth-Splitter Lizard let out a sharp sound, slammed its thick forelimbs forward, causing the ground to tremble and a crack to rapidly spread towards Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan raised her head, her long black hair fluttering in the wind. Her beautiful face under the baseball cap remained calm, and her dreamy ice-blue eyes held a hint of indifference, majesty, and domineering presence.

Her cherry lips moved slightly.

"stop."

The crack that had spread to her feet seemed to hear a divine command and stopped instantly!

The Earth-Splittering Lizard was clearly taken aback, tilting its head in confusion, not understanding what was going on.

Jiang Yuan's eyes also flickered slightly.

Lin Qingyan spoke again.

"freeze."

The temperature around the Earthshaker suddenly dropped, freezing starting from its limbs and then spreading until it was completely encased in ice.

"Shattered".

Clang!

Like shattered crystal, the Icebound Earth-Splittering Lizard's ice blocks instantly shattered into countless pieces, and its health bar was reduced to zero.

Even as it died, the Earth-Splittering Lizard had no idea what had happened and was completely baffled.

"It feels a bit like a spellcaster..."

Looking at Lin Qingyan, who was showing signs of leveling up, Jiang Yuan thought to himself that the class she was changing to was at least epic-level.

Lin Qingyan bent down and picked up a bracelet from a pile of ice shards.

"Lucky me, I got a piece of equipment, but it's just a common one."

She casually tossed it away.

Jiang Yuan was taken aback. "You don't want it?"

"Ordinary equipment is not worth picking up for me," Lin Qingyan said arrogantly, glancing at him sideways. "Take it if you want."

Jiang Yuan actually bent down, picked it up, and put it in his backpack.

These rich people are really extravagant; you should know that even a regular piece of equipment can sell for tens of thousands of yuan.

Only a fool wouldn't want that.

Look up again.

They discovered that Lin Qingyan was no longer there.

A girl's authoritative, clear voice came from afar, as if she were commanding heaven and earth.

"Lightning strike."

Arcs of lightning appeared in the sky, and a bolt of lightning carrying a destructive aura crashed down.

Jiang Yuan then realized what was happening and angrily shouted, "My turn!!"

[Lightning Speed]

In an instant, they traversed hundreds of meters to reach the area where the lightning had struck.

Looking at the lizard that had been electrocuted and was now charred inside and out, Jiang Yuan looked at Lin Qingyan and said, "School Beauty Lin, it doesn't seem right to break the established rules so casually."

Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, who seemed to have teleported there, Lin Qingyan's face flashed with shock, and her small face also showed an unnatural expression.

She turned her head and said arrogantly, "You just killed so many Ironhead Wolves, so these Earth-Splitting Lizards should all be my prey."

"You even took my equipment. If you don't want to, go kill monsters somewhere else by yourself."

Empress Qingyan is utterly unreasonable.

"Is that so?" Jiang Yuan smiled kindly. "Alright, alright."

Suddenly, a noise came from the ground, and iron spikes shot out.

Lin Qingyan's clear eyes flashed, and her cherry lips parted slightly: "Lei..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

Jiang Yuan instantly appeared in the air above that area and threw a punch downwards.

boom!

The ground within a five-meter radius, as hard as iron, caved in, crushing and flattening the earth-splitting lizard inside!

[Ding! You have killed a Ground Splitter Lizard. Experience +50]

"you!"

Lin Qingyan was annoyed and immediately looked away, but when she noticed the ferocious beast's movements, before she could even utter the word "lightning strike," Jiang Yuan would kill it instantly at an even faster speed.

With his teleportation-like speed and insane single-target damage, he became a monster-killing expert, and no ferocious beast could withstand a second punch.

After losing seven or eight monsters in a row.

Lin Qingyan was also furious.

"Restraint".

This attack was not aimed at the ferocious beast, but at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan felt an invisible force binding his limbs and body like ropes, holding him in mid-air.

Lin Qingyan looked at him coldly and said, "I've only tolerated you for the sake of being classmates. Don't force me to take this seriously."

Jiang Yuan smiled.

"Since that's the case..."

Under Lin Qingyan's astonished gaze, Jiang Yuan unleashed a terrifying surge of blood energy, shattering the invisible restraints and causing him to fall from the sky to the ground.

A layer of crimson ripples covered his body, and the handsome young man with flowing black hair twisted his neck and cracked his fists. Lin Qingyan's figure was reflected in his pale golden pupils.

"Since neither of us is willing to submit to the other, let's just have a fight."

Lin Qingyan narrowed her eyes slightly.

"That suits me perfectly."

She doesn't think she'll lose.

The boy and girl faced off against each other, their tension palpable, under a dark, abyss-like sky filled with ferocious beasts.
