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

However, the long-term solidification of complete unity created new possibilities for Yan Ziming, allowing her to use domain techniques while simultaneously releasing the Thunder Domain to greatly enhance her abilities.

With the Thunder Domain, her attack power can increase by about 50%, and her overall combat power can double!

In this situation, Yan Ziming's attacks became even more ferocious, making Barol feel cold all over. While dodging the spear attacks, he also had to endure the bombardment of the Thunder Domain.

Barol felt bitter inside.

His body had shrunk, which meant that Yan Zimo could more easily attack his vital parts, a dangerous sign for him.

Although Yan Ziming's grip on the spear wasn't heavy, the amplification from the Thunder Domain and the explosive recoil from the spear's contact with him made it feel like an immense mountain. Every time it hit him, it would knock him back a distance, and before he could even regain his footing, he would have to endure Yan Ziming's continuous attacks.

In an instant, the situation became one-sided. Barol made one mistake after another, and his left arm was pierced by Yan Zimo. Yan Zimo's hand holding the spear trembled violently, and Barol's arm broke off on the spot. Lightning exploded, and the steel arm fell to the ground a hundred meters away.

Upon seeing this, Barol's expression hardened, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the arm in the distance, under his control, transformed into a sharp longsword, silently slashing towards Yan Zimo's back.

Having suffered a terrible loss on the deserted island before, Yan Ziming was not about to repeat the mistake. Without turning his body, he remained facing Barol, but with a slight turn of his spear, a dark ray shot out from the sharp tip.

boom--!

The longsword exploded on the spot, shattering into many more unequal pieces. Even if Barol wanted to put it back together, it would take him some time.

Yan Zimo felt that the time was almost up and the consumption had exceeded his ideal limit. He immediately swung his spear, the dark golden spear body pressing down and distorting the void, emitting a terrifying whistling sound. After forcing back Barol, he raised it above his arm and made a throwing motion.

The prelude to destruction was brewing in her posture, about to unleash world-destroying power.

before this--

"I surrender."

Barol returned to its original normal size, and its body reverted to flesh and blood. Its face was as pale as paper, and it coughed up several mouthfuls of blood on the spot.

He was practically pushing his own limits in the fight against Yan Zimo. The fact that he could hold out this long was already his limit. If he continued, his cultivation level might even drop. If he could go this far, even Yan Zimo would have to lose a lot of strength.

Chapter 88 Aliyev

He was working so hard in the hopes of dragging Yan Ziming down into a quagmire of excessive exertion, so that she would experience the chance of missing out on the top four.

The rest depends on whether the other two perform well; hopefully, they won't be completely useless.

Barol lost again. After his defeat in the doubles, he was defeated by the same person in the individual competition once again. The myth of Barol has finally been shattered.

The player who defeated him was none other than Yan Zimo, one of the favorites of this year's Civilization Cup. His performance along the way can be described as overwhelming, and in today's match, he displayed amazing talent, which can only be described as a miracle.

She is now about to enter the second round of the first group round-robin tournament. If she wins three consecutive matches, she will have a chance to take the first place. Before that, everything else is out of the question.

The next match is between Yan Ziming and a member of the Russian team, who is also at the seventh level. However, against Yan Ziming, this level of cultivation inevitably seems somewhat weak.

But... what are the traditions of the Russians?

If you're not happy, then let's fight!

So what if I've encountered an almost invincible opponent? I'll just do my best. There's no such thing as giving up.

Aliev, the strongest member of the Russian team, is among the top in strength among the seventh-tier members. After Yan Zimo's battle with Barol, he defeated his opponent and is about to face Yan Zimo.

"Three, two, one, start!"

"I look forward to working alongside you in the next joint cleanup operation."

Aliyev greeted Yan Ziming first, and Yan Ziming was slightly taken aback.

Is that the joint cleanup? It's the annual winter counter-offensive in Russia, and China has almost never been absent from it, often being invited to participate in the joint cleanup of mutated species within Russia.

"We will definitely meet if we have the chance."

When dealing with people from allied countries, Yan Ziming didn't need to give them the cold shoulder, and his attitude became much more friendly.

Yan Ziming decided to give him a chance to attack. After all, the other party did not choose to admit defeat but fought with all his might. It would be a bit unreasonable to kick him off the stage without letting him show something.

After exchanging greetings, Aliev began to make his move. A puddle of water gradually rose from the ground, eventually covering the entire arena. Yan Zimo tried to lift his foot, but found that it was as if he had stepped into a mud pit, making it impossible for him to move freely.

This is his domain. Even if it's not as high-quality as Yan Zimo's, it's still outstanding. He has forged his own path.

Yan Ziming also unleashed his Thunder Domain to counter him. The scorching lightning swept across everything around him, instantly evaporating the water and creating a hazy mist in the air, obscuring visibility.

The result was obvious and within Aliyev's expectations.

In terms of realm, he knew he could never beat Yan Zimo, but he still bet everything on realm, and the next moment would be the crucial moment to determine the outcome.

Because the path he chose was—an explosion.

His special ability is water-based. As the saying goes, "The highest good is like water, which benefits all things without striving."

In many people's minds, water-based superpowers are gentle and mild. Most water-based superpower users tend to be supportive, with only a very few specializing in attack. Among those who can bring their attack to the extreme, there is Aliyev.

He inherited the Russians' characteristic simplicity and brutality; even water-based superpowers could unleash tremendous destructive power in his hands.

The air gradually became hot and humid, and the water on the ground seemed to be attracted to the air by a magnet. The humidity in the air exceeded the normal range, making it difficult to breathe, as if one were in the ocean.

"Splash... splash..."

The sound of the tide reached my ears.

Yan Ziming was surrounded by lightning, which shielded him from the effects of humidity. Once water vapor got close, it would be quickly evaporated into smaller water molecules, generating a large amount of heat energy, and the temperature would gradually rise.

Soon, the inside of the arena turned into an oven, where everything was distorted. An ordinary person inside would be instantly dried out and die from dehydration.

However, this was exactly what Aliyev had planned.

Chi chi chi.......

Once the water mist reached a certain concentration, Aliyev poured all his energy into this decisive strike.

The water vapor in the air began to combine with the heat, forming a thermal vortex in mid-air. The vortex was hundreds of meters in diameter, and lightning occasionally flashed by. In just a few seconds, the energy concentration inside reached a critical value.

Incredibly high temperatures erupted from within the vortex, far exceeding the heat wave of the previous one. Even through the protective shield, the outside temperature was rising rapidly, and the audience was sweating profusely.

Suddenly, Yan Ziming's pupils contracted sharply. The electromagnetic barrier and the lightning domain were activated at maximum power. She saw the vortex suddenly contract inward, everything returned to calm, and then a muffled explosion occurred.

boom--! ! !

One ton of TNT is enough to blow up a building that is thirty or forty meters tall. Even a smaller one, weighing around three hundred kilograms, can wipe out an area the size of a basketball court, leaving no trace of life.

Aliyev's attack was probably equivalent to the explosive power of a ballistic missile with several tons of TNT. The condensed water vapor instantly turned into countless sharp blades, pouring out like a torrential rain, even slicing through the lightning!

Steam vortex.

It is also known as a steam explosion.

This is one of Aliev's best skills, which he has kept hidden since the beginning of the competition until now, when he faced Yan Ziming, an almost invincible opponent, and only then did he reveal this trump card.

On the arena, it was as if a small, incandescent sun had appeared. The extremely high temperature caused the constantly repaired super alloy floor to show signs of melting, and the entire stadium was unbearably hot!

The audience was sweating profusely, feeling extremely uncomfortable, their faces flushed, and they were just a step away from developing further symptoms.

Just then, Mo Sheng made his move. Purple immortal light flowed, and the heat was broken down. In order to prevent the temperature difference from being too great, Mo Sheng controlled the temperature to slowly lower it.

Hyde gestured slightly to her, indicating that his special ability was fire-based and that intervening would only make things worse. Mo Sheng was temporarily relieved of this urgent problem.

When the arena calmed down and everything settled down, Yan Ziming's slightly rapid breathing was revealed, along with Aliev, who collapsed to the ground after exhaustion.

"Ziqing wins!"

The referee announced the final result, and cheers erupted from both the field and the audience. Praise poured in, some of which were for Aliev.

"I still couldn't hurt you..." Aliev said dejectedly, looking at Yan Zimo who was completely unharmed.

"You're acting innocent after getting the benefit! You almost tricked me!"

Yan Ziming glared fiercely at Aliyev.

Don't think she blocked it easily. Energy attacks always require energy to defend against. People outside the arena can't see that Yan Ziming used her three-step Saint Domain to perfectly block this attack. For this, she also consumed nearly 20% of her energy!

Normally, Aliyev wouldn't have been able to launch an attack of this magnitude.

He secretly increased the temperature in the air by using Yan Zimo's lightning. Half of the lightning that was detonated was Yan Zimo's lightning, which was almost comparable to that of an eighth-level expert.

Yan Ziming's opponent immediately conceded defeat in the next match. He had already lost to Aliev and Barol. Even if Yan Ziming was too exhausted, he still wouldn't be able to advance even if he won. Why bother to suffer further?

At this point, one of the top four spots has been eliminated, and the name 'Ziqing' has taken its place.

Chapter 89 Public Pursuit

"Damn it, this guy must be that damned Yan Ziming!"

Recalling the image of Yan Zimo condensing his domain into the Lightning Blade to launch an attack in the doubles competition, it increasingly overlapped with the image of Yan Zimo in Barol's memory, with almost 90% similarity!

If the deity's keepsake is still there, then it can be confirmed...

"Just wait... sooner or later... sooner or later!"

Witnessing Yan Ziming's advancement, Barol's eyes were filled with resentment as he quietly disappeared from the audience's sight.

After Yan Ziming's group finished, it was the turn of the second group, and the outcome of the second group's competition was a foregone conclusion.

Mu Mu is the player with the highest chance of winning this Civilization Cup. Whoever is drawn into the same group as her is basically declaring that they have no chance of being in the top four and have absolutely no chance at all.

The second group's match ended in less than half an hour, with Mu Mu emerging victorious. The other three were overwhelmed by her irresistible power, unable to even make a ripple.

The most tragic one was Druan, who was in the same group as Mu Mu.

Because of the agreement made with Yan Ziming and the others, Druan originally wanted to admit defeat the moment the referee shouted "start," but before he could even say it, Mu Mu caught him and beat him up.

Afterwards, he wanted to admit defeat and beg for mercy, but he couldn't make a sound outside. Mu Mu even used special means to block the outside view. By the time Mu Mu had finished beating him, Druan was already barely breathing.
