I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Yan Ziming scratched his nose and said, "It's someone from the Lofeel Consortium, the one I was doing business with."

Mu Mu gave a meaningful "humph": "Not bad."

"It's really quite good. A high-level lightning-type ability user, the same type as me."

"Hehe~ Indeed...very, very similar to you..."

After using "ten out of ten" twice in a row, Yan Ziming sensed something was wrong.

"You're implying something. Just say what you're not saying, don't keep me in suspense!" Yan Ziming said with dissatisfaction. Lately, she really disliked people talking to her in a half-hearted way, all because of that charlatan Bai He.

"Just experience it for yourself when the time comes! You'll naturally understand what I mean."

"..."

Yan Ziming was extremely frustrated. At this moment, the host had already heated up the atmosphere to its peak, and the competition began.

——“请122号、32号上台，请122号、32号上台，请122号、32号上台。”

The announcement wasn't calling out individual numbers, but rather group numbers. For example, Yan Ziming and Mo Xin's group number was 666, and they hadn't been drawn yet.

Chapter Fifty-Six: An Upset

To save time, the doubles competition is held in five matches simultaneously. Only when the top 32 are determined will it be changed to one match at a time so that the audience can watch more closely.

Before this, if you want to attract the audience's attention, you need to have corresponding popularity or strength. Otherwise, even if you win, the audience will only glance at you and forget about you in some corner, without any buzz.

"call--!!!"

During the third round, a surge of excitement erupted on the field, caused by the French team already on stage, members of their secret department—the Iris.

They are a male and female duo. The male is named Smith and the female is named Elor. They are both twenty-eight years old, and their strength is currently unknown.

A country's team consists of dozens to hundreds of people. Not all of them are at the seventh level; there are many at the sixth level as well. Their strength should be at this level.

Their opponents were a pair of civilian superhumans from China, two girls, both around twenty-four years old, whose strength was unknown.

As the referee announced, "The game begins," Smith made a crouching motion, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a white horse, exuding a sense of holiness.

"Oh my god, Smith has turned into a white horse, but I wonder what level of bloodline he has?! Please, His Majesty Mo Sheng of China, answer this for us."

The host, Sun Jie, provided live commentary on the battle's progress. When it came to matters related to superpowers, he would pass the microphone to Mo Sheng or Hyde, who were also on the commentary stage. Only those with superpowers truly understood each other, something that an outsider like him couldn't explain to the audience.

"It should be either a dragon-horse or a unicorn, it's one of these two, but I think the unicorn is more likely." Mo Sheng, with his seasoned experience, made this judgment.

"Look, it has a white horn on its forehead."

Mo Sheng pointed to the white horse's forehead, where there was a raised horn, very inconspicuous, only about three centimeters long, and white, matching its skin color, which caused many people to not notice it at first glance.

Sun Jie listened with admiration. As expected of a ninth-level expert, his observation skills and knowledge alone were far superior to those of an ordinary person like himself.

On the arena, the woman, Elor, had already mounted the white horse, radiating white light as if an angel had descended. Her eyes were incredibly focused, and her right arm was outstretched towards her enemy.

chi chi-

The white light condensed into a beam, making a sound as if the air was being pierced. Even before it exploded, one could feel its terrifying power.

"Youlan, leave it to me."

On the other side, a taller girl stepped forward, blocking her companion. The white light fell on her, and like water hitting an obstacle, it split into several streams and slid aside, landing on the super alloy on the ground, burning out pits of varying sizes.

Seeing this, Yan Ziming asked in confusion, "Huh, this girl named Elor must have an attack power of at least level seven, right?"

Mu Mu, also a seasoned veteran, answered:

"Yes, it's very close. Her superpower should be light-based, with a focus on destruction, otherwise her destructive power wouldn't be so high."

"It's a bit like when my older sister was at level six, but she was even more powerful back then!" Ye Qianxue said with a grin.

Riding on the back of the white horse, Elor moved with lightning speed, like a mobile artillery platform, constantly emitting white beams of light. With absolute speed and absolute destructive power, few below the seventh rank could defeat them.

That white beam of light posed a certain threat even to seventh-order targets. It could be said that this was a mutually reinforcing and complementary combination, a brilliant pairing that brought the principle of "caliber is justice, range is truth" to its extreme.

However, things did not go as smoothly as people imagined.

"Zhiruo, are you alright? Why don't you let me go?" The girl named Youlan said calmly. She didn't seem like a weak woman being protected behind her. Instead, she clenched her fists eagerly.

"Alright, when they attack next time, you just have to play it by ear."

Zhi Ruo said with some difficulty that she had taken on all the white beams of light by herself and was already showing signs of exhaustion.

Under these circumstances, she has to reveal some of her trump cards.

Ahead, Elor charged once more, and faint golden particles of light appeared on the horn at the top of the white horse, containing power no less than that of a white beam of light.

The opponent has encountered unexpected trouble, and they are determined to end this battle completely, preparing to deliver a decisive blow.

chi chi-

Several more beams of white light blocked all possible escape routes for Zhi Ruo You Lan, while simultaneously brewing an even greater surge of energy in her hands.

However, when the beam of light landed on her, it did not slide away as before. Instead, it was suddenly reflected back as if by some kind of reflection, and struck Elor, who was launching an attack!

This startled them. They knew their own abilities; even they couldn't withstand the bombardment of this white light!

In desperation, the golden orb on the white horse's forehead blasted out, intending to neutralize the attack through energy collision; the decisive blow could wait for another opportunity.

Unexpectedly, after the golden sphere of light collided with the white beam of light, the white beam of light exploded into a large cloud of snowflakes, filling the entire arena and making everything impossible to see.

That's right, it's a snowflake.

No one knew what had happened, but the reflected white beam of light caught them completely off guard in this way. Elor, who had fought with so many people, had never seen anything like it.

"Back off!"

Suddenly, Elor shouted, and the white horse obeyed her command, braked sharply, leaped up, stepped on something in mid-air, kicked back, and landed more than twenty meters away.

A blast of extremely cold air swept in, making the snowstorm even more terrifying. As the snowflakes collided, they split apart, forming more snowflakes and a larger storm. The temperature had already dropped below zero degrees Celsius.

Humans are warm-blooded animals, and their physical abilities depend on their own temperature regulation capabilities as well as the influence of external temperatures. Once the temperature drops below zero degrees Celsius, even those with superpowers will be significantly affected.

Moreover, the temperature had already reached minus seventy degrees Celsius, which would greatly reduce the mobility of even the strongest beast-type ability users.

Even though the white horse is of unicorn blood, its speed was reduced by more than half.

If his speed was comparable to a car that could travel at 120 miles per hour before, now he's not much faster than a bus, so the tactic of using a mobile artillery platform is no longer useful.

Moreover, Elor, whose physical abilities were far inferior to Smith's, was even more vulnerable, relying solely on his supernatural energy for protection, which greatly weakened his offensive power.

Previously, she was moving at high speed on horseback, so she didn't have to worry about defense and could focus entirely on attacking. The level of her concentration was closely related to the power of the white beam.

"We throw in the towel."

In the end, Elor chose to concede defeat because she was unable to protect herself due to exhaustion. When the blizzard subsided, she was already so cold that her face turned blue and her lips turned white. She was shivering uncontrollably, and if it continued, her life would be in danger.

Not long after the doubles competition began, a major upset occurred: a national team was defeated by civilian participants, which was unexpected by many. In an instant, Zhiruo and Youlan became famous, attracting the attention of many people, both openly and secretly.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Overwhelming Destruction

"I didn't expect the French team to lose so easily. Those two are no pushovers!"

Many people in the audience exclaimed in amazement that although Smith and Errol were not the strongest players in the French team, they were still top-notch players, and whoever could defeat them must be no ordinary person.

"Worth noting."

Many people gave this assessment because the French team didn't even know how they lost, and the Zhiruo Youlan team's strength hadn't been fully displayed.

Yan Ziming couldn't help but ask, "Mo Xin, did you see clearly what just happened?"

Mo Xin shook her head.

In the early stages, the beam of light would slide off her as it normally would, and later it would reflect back and turn into snowflakes.

This clearly alters even the structure of matter!

Perhaps this is just an illusion created by supernatural abilities, but we should still be careful. She might be the person we're looking for. We should arrange a time to contact her after the competition.

There is another girl named Youlan. Her special ability is still unclear. Judging from the surface, she did not make a move at all. Whether she actually made a move or not is unknown.

Maybe she was the one who caused the snowstorm.

"This is truly an unexpected situation. I never thought that a grassroots team would suddenly emerge and eliminate the French team."

Sun Jie, holding the microphone in one hand, shouted passionately, continuing to heat up the atmosphere of the match. He couldn't tell what had happened in the previous battle, but he just felt that it was awesome!

After the most anticipated battle, the winners and losers in the other two arenas were also determined.

"Then, preparations for the next round of matches shall begin."

Sun Jie picked up the personnel match arrangement form, which was filled with dense numbers and was a group match schedule that had been arranged in advance.

To avoid wasting the contestants' time and to allow them to make arrangements in advance, these results were determined by drawing lots several days in advance. Only when the top 16 were drawn on-site to create a lively atmosphere would a live draw be held.

而第四批次的对战组别分别是753vs33，254vs91还有49vs26。

"Now the fourth batch of groups has been formed. Please come up on stage within five minutes."

Sun Jie continued shouting energetically. After several rounds, his throat became a little dry, but he remained enthusiastic and inspiring to many viewers.

"Hmm? I remember number 254 is..." Sun Yang suddenly muttered to himself, feeling that the number 254 was strangely familiar.

For someone in his position, he knows the numbers of popular players in the competition by heart, and the number 254 has great significance for him.

The image in his mind suddenly froze, and Sun Jie's lips curled into a smile.
