First Appearance at the Abyss: Jiang Yuan vs. Lin Qingyan, a Battle in the Abyss!

On the vast, dark black earth, the boy and girl faced each other thirty meters apart, as a raging wind howled and whipped up clouds of black dust.

"Your name is Jiang Yuan, right?"

"I'll give you another chance because we're classmates. It's not too late to admit defeat."

Lin Qingyan spoke calmly, her long black hair flowing freely behind her, her slender body exuding an impressive aura.

"Then we won't need to."

Jiang Yuan clenched his fists, his smile calm, his pale golden eyes like flames burning in the cold night.

"because……"

"I really can't imagine myself losing."

"That's because you haven't witnessed true power."

Lin Qingyan said calmly, "I admit you have some strength, but in front of me..."

"not enough."

The moment she finished speaking, she pushed off with her feet and arrived in front of Jiang Yuan, her right fist enveloped in a white cloud of energy.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand to catch it, but the next second Lin Qingyan's body vanished like a cloud of mist and reappeared behind him.

Three-star martial skill, Illusionary Cloud Step!

The fist, enveloped in white energy, rubbed against the air, weaving wisps of black lightning, before crashing down towards the back of Jiang Yuan's head!

Five-star martial skill, Black Lightning Flash!

"boom!"

A muffled, loud bang was heard, and a violent shockwave spread out from beneath their feet, instantly extending a hundred meters away.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Lin Qingyan looked at Jiang Yuan, who had blocked her punch with his arm, and her clear eyes flickered slightly.

Such a strong fighting spirit, such a tough physique.

"Two high-level martial arts techniques so casually, no wonder they're rich."

Jiang Yuan looked up and smiled, somewhat surprised, not expecting that she could cultivate her martial arts to this level.

but……

A flash of iridescent light appeared deep within his pale golden eyes.

Jiang Yuan raised his hand and reached out to grab Lin Qingyan.

She withdrew her fist, used the momentum, twisted her slender waist, and nimbly dodged the grab with her delicate body, then delivered a powerful kick down towards Jiang Yuan's head!

But the next second, the attack missed.

Jiang Yuan's body dissipated like clouds and mist.

"Is this how it's used?"

Jiang Yuan appeared beside Lin Qingyan, his right fist, wrapped in crimson ripples and crackling with black lightning, striking towards her chest.

"What?!"

Lin Qingyan was deeply shaken.

He actually learned my martial arts techniques after just one glance?!

What kind of insane learning ability is this?!

At the critical moment, a dreamy ice-blue light flashed in Lin Qingyan's eyes, and a thin, hexagonal snowflake-shaped ice mirror appeared in front of her.

Innate Skill - Hexagonal Ice God Mirror!

Jiang Yuan's punch slammed heavily onto the hexagonal ice mirror, and the terrifying air pressure exploded out like a thunderclap in the sky!

"Bang!"

The massive shockwave formed a two-meter-high wall of air, sweeping away the rubble within dozens of meters of the two people!

"Click."

A crack appeared on the ice mirror, but it was not broken.

Under Jiang Yuan's somewhat astonished gaze.

The entire punch was reflected back onto himself!

The terrifying force sent him flying uncontrollably backward, shooting into the hill like a cannonball and creating a large hole!

"Lightning strike."

The Divine Speaker skill is activated.

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as an arm, struck the cave and exploded with a deafening roar!

Looking at that pile of ruins.

Lin Qingyan said arrogantly, "You should be proud enough that I can use my innate skill."

Looking proudly at the pile of rubble in the distance, she said with clear eyes:

"With your talent and aptitude, you can barely reach the ranks of the top geniuses in the Great Xia Dynasty. But you are not qualified to be compared with me."

"If you are willing to submit to me now, I can give you a chance to follow me and reach the top of the stars."

"boom!"

The pile of rubble exploded.

Do you think you won?

Jiang Yuan, his shirt partially torn, emerged from the rain of pebbles, his entire body enveloped in crimson, wavy flames. The falling pebbles were pulverized into dust upon impact with him.

He took a step.

The ground is sunken.

Jiang Yuan's figure shot straight towards Lin Qingyan like a streak of red light, his speed as fast as a phantom.

"It's no use, it's too slow."

Lin Qingyan said coldly.

Jiang Yuan instantly felt as if he were trapped in quagmire, his speed decreasing by 90%.

"Your speed is indeed very fast and your damage is high, but it's all melee combat. If you can't hit anyone, it's meaningless."

"Rain of Light"

In an instant, countless dazzling beams of light descended from the sky, shooting towards Jiang Yuan.

"Interesting," Jiang Yuan laughed, his blood and qi exploding, the boiling flames transforming into ripples that blocked all the light arrow attacks.

He took another deep breath and stomped his right foot forward heavily!

"Bang!"

The ground shook violently, caved in, and cracks spread in all directions.

His figure vanished instantly.

"Lightning speed."

Lin Qingyan's expression changed when she caught a glimpse of Jiang Yuan teleporting behind her.

It's that move again, teleporting without regard to slowing down. Is it his talent? Or a skill?

Seeing Jiang Yuan's punch coming at him, it was too fast for him to use his skills.

Lin Qingyan could only raise her hand and use her second talent.

"Freeze it."

A pale, chilling aura was released, instantly forming a massive ice wall in front of her.

It only lasted for a second.

He was shattered by Jiang Yuan's punch!

The powerful shockwave sent Lin Qingyan staggering backward thirty meters before she came to a stop. Her baseball cap was blown off, revealing her exquisitely beautiful, snow-white face, which was now as cold as frost.

You have completely enraged me.

………………

On the other side of the valley in the first-level abyss.

Several first-tier warriors from small guilds stared in horror at the distant iceberg that suddenly appeared in the valley, resembling a sharp cone, before it shattered and collapsed.

"What's wrong?"

A middle-aged-looking warrior walked over and asked.

"Why did it take you so long to lure the ferocious beast here?"

"Captain, I think we should head back as soon as possible today," a young man with a large shield said, his face filled with fear.

"What happened?"

The young man swallowed hard: "We've searched, and there are no ferocious beasts in this area at all. In fact, we've been hearing terrifying noises coming from over there since just now."

"Yes," another female martial artist said, "Not only were there huge noises, but there were also earthquakes, and lightning strikes from time to time. Just now, an iceberg suddenly appeared..."

"Iceberg? Where is it?" The captain looked up.

"It's broken."

"Shattered? It's shattered? You weren't poisoned by the beast's mist and are hallucinating, were you?" The captain was somewhat skeptical.

The two quickly replied, "We're telling the truth."

"null--!!"

A loud bang came from the other side, startling everyone.

Then a fierce gust of wind swept in from the other side, and the ground shook again.

The young man with the large shield spread his hands and said, "Captain, you see, we were right, weren't we? Something really isn't right here."

The woman said, "It feels like two level-three ferocious beasts are fighting each other..."

"A third-tier ferocious beast... Would such a thing exist in a level one abyss?"

The captain broke out in a cold sweat, unable to believe it.

But then...

"Snap!"

Several bolts of lightning suddenly struck, startling them.

The captain hurriedly said, "Go, go! Let's go!"

The group fled in a panic, not daring to look back.
