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

Heaven and earth are silent.

14. 'Opponent'

Rumbling--

A thunderclap resounded through the night sky of Bei'an.

However, the sky did not show the dark clouds, lightning, and thunder that people had expected; the starlight was still visible.

"What's going on? Isn't it Yan Ziming?"

"Are you still fighting or not? I love watching women fight. It would be so exciting if two goddesses fought!"

Outside, the festive celebrations had begun, with crowds thronging the area, but inside the Mu family compound, there was a deathly silence.

If someone were to step into this place, they would find the air so thick it's like being at the bottom of the ocean, making it difficult to breathe and even putting immense pressure on movement.

This can't go on; it's creating a climate of fear, and nobody wants that on New Year's Eve.

Standing by the pond, gazing at the moonlit lotus pond, Liu Mengxian gently exhaled. The breath formed a white mist in the cold air, obscuring the thin moon, before turning into scattered blue specks that spread outwards.

The blue particles seemed to blend into the air, smoothing out the oppressive atmosphere and disappearing without a trace.

"Be a little restrained."

Hearing Liu Mengxian's faint reminder, the two who were facing off were immediately brought back to their senses from their obsessive fighting spirit.

Yan Ziming's eyes gleamed as he suggested, "It's New Year's Eve, so we don't need to make a big fuss, right? Let's just stop here."

"Sure, I don't mind." Mu Mu didn't care; as long as a winner was decided, she didn't care what form it took.

"Let's do it as 'opponents' then."

"Row."

This "opponent" is not the same as that "opponent" in the conventional sense; rather, it refers to a form of confrontation between individuals with special abilities.

Superpowered individuals possess immense destructive power, especially those with extremely aggressive fighting styles.

A fourth-tier fire-type ability user can unleash more firepower than an reinforced machine gun squad.

The fifth and sixth tiers above them almost double in power, and the higher tiers are even more outrageous; breaking into an armored battalion results in a one-sided massacre.

Therefore, when conflicts arise among those with superpowers, and they resort to fists to prove the 'truth,' it often results in a bloody lesson.

One wrong move, and you might lose an arm or a leg; another could have your ashes scattered to the winds.

Moreover, this is in China, where even a simple brawl can get you arrested, and a fight of this nature can land you in jail.

So what should be done when there is friction between people with superpowers?

The Chinese government also knew that it was impossible to suppress the fighting instincts of all superhumans, so it established a rule called "opponent".

It is played in a round-based format, with one side attacking and the other defending. If the defending side is in a disadvantageous position, the attacking side must immediately stop. This process is repeated in turn, and the game usually consists of five rounds. Whoever wins the most rounds wins.

This is a legitimate struggle recognized by the national government, and can only be conducted between individuals with superpowers.

In this way, unnecessary sacrifices were avoided, combat power was preserved, and the pressure that the superpowered individuals usually accumulated was released. It was a win-win situation and gradually became popular.

This is the kind of battle that Yan Ziming and her team are about to engage in.

By this time, many members of the Mu family had noticed that the oppressive atmosphere earlier was caused by these two, and they were watching from the nearby stairwells.

When they saw who their opponent was, they were all utterly astonished.

"Yan Ziming... and the young lady! It was actually them!"

"What? It's Third Sister? And Yan Ziming too? Why are they fighting?"

Mu Chenyi also arrived quickly. He felt ashamed because he had been stared at by a tiger and dared not move during the confrontation between the two, and only arrived now.

"Should you go first or me?" Mu Mu asked, squinting.

"You go first."

"Okay, let's start!"

With that starting signal, both sides made a move—closing their eyes.

This scene looks very strange. It seemed like a situation that was about to break out, but it turned out like this.

Someone asked, "What are they doing?"

"Who knows? But since they're all at the ninth rank, they must be engaged in a battle we don't know about."

Only Ye Qianxue and Mu Chenyi, who were the strongest among those present besides Yan Ziming and Mu Mu, knew that their duel had already begun.

That was a contest of wills.

Generally speaking, willpower is derived from and condensed from the first path, and Yan Ziming and Mu Mu are no exception.

These are penetration and fracture, respectively.

In Ye Qianxue's eyes, the space ten meters outward from Yan Ziming and Mu Mu had been completely cut off. Although they looked like they were still in front of her, she couldn't actually get any closer.

Every flower, every tree, and every blade of grass inside is silently breaking apart, repeatedly going through this process until it is completely annihilated.

This scene sent chills down Mu Chenyi's spine.

Good heavens, if I were in there, I'd probably be on my knees in seconds, but...

Yan Ziming stood proudly as if nothing had happened, his body ramrod straight, not even a ripple of his clothes.

Mu Chenyi stared more intently, his eyes becoming bloodshot, as if trying to glean something from Yan Ziming.

"Well--?!"

However, when he tried to do so, the person in front of him seemed to transform into an incredibly dazzling sun in an instant!

It was as if they wanted to obliterate even his soul!

He covered his face and stumbled back a few steps, his face pale, almost falling to the ground.

When he removed his hands from his face, everyone saw that he was already in tears and looked quite disheveled.

This is? !

Mu Chenyi looked at Yan Ziming in astonishment again. Yan Ziming still appeared to be doing nothing, but when he observed with his extraordinary eyesight, he would see the scene from before.

"No wonder she's the Marshal's niece..."

She had been on the defensive, using her willpower to attack and deflect Mu Mu's offensive. If this continued, who knows how long it would last.

Ever since——

"We need to change our tactics!" Ye Qianxue suddenly said seriously.

The two opened their eyes at the same moment. Mu Mu made the first move, gracefully floating towards Yan Ziming.

As she advanced, a powerful force swept over her, and people could almost see Yan Ziming's 'territory' being squeezed smaller and smaller until it was only thick enough for one person to stand on.

Yan Ziming smiled sweetly, her skirt swirling and her hair dancing, perfectly capturing the delicate and lively spirit of the scene.

When Mu Mu was already in front of her, she finally responded.

Extend your right index finger and gently point it forward.

At that moment, everyone watching felt as if their bodies were being brutally torn apart.

Yan Ziming's light touch was like touching a layer of water, with ripples spreading from his index finger to the entire space separated by the 'fracture'.

The spatial barrier shattered completely, and the surrounding walls were as if they had been silently scraped by thousands of scythes, leaving scratches of varying depths and flying debris everywhere.

However, this was only the prelude to the storm.

Without a sound, the ground beneath their feet and the surrounding walls instantly shattered, even splashing water several meters high from the nearby pool, scattering continuously in the air. A deafening electric shock could be faintly heard, and a small gust of wind swept around, blowing everything in its path, including the sofas and furniture in the nearby room, which were all swept out.

Fortunately, Ye Qianxue and Xiao Ze in her chest stopped all of this in advance, otherwise there would have been casualties.

Once everyone came to their senses, what happened?!

Looking at Yan Ziming again, her clothes were torn with more than a dozen cuts, and blood splattered everywhere.

15. Strolling through a sea of ​​stars

After the gust of wind swept through, Yan Ziming took two steps back. Her clothes were torn into pieces and hung loosely down. Her black pantyhose on her thighs were also torn in many places, and the girl's snow-white skin underneath was cut, leaving traces of blood.

The scene before them was undeniably poignant, and some people stared wide-eyed, eager to feast their eyes.

However, Yan Ziming's clothes didn't even last a second before Mu Mu immediately waved his hand, blocking out the surrounding area with a silvery light, making it impossible to see anything. A series of wails erupted from the crowd.

"Ah—no! I didn't see it clearly!!!"

"Holy crap, what just happened? Why are they all screaming?"

"Does anyone have the courage to film this?! Let's talk over here!"

"I did bring it, but it was destroyed in that collision!!! It was worth 50,000 RMB!!!"

Ye Qianxue was speechless. These filthy old gentlemen were actually coveting her older sister!

Don't you even take a piss and see what kind of person you are? You would never guess, would you? The older sister you all covet has already slept with Qianxue countless times!
