Chapter 228: The Dumpling is Mighty! (Fifth Update)

Just as Chu Liuyue was about to speak, Heng Jingchuo seemed to sense something. A dark, cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then, with a sudden movement, he rushed toward Chu Liuyue!

He was incredibly fast, reaching her side in the blink of an eye!

Without hesitation, he swung his sleeve, and another burst of Origin Power flew out once more!

*Ssh!*

That Origin Power merged into the sphere, causing the already diminished power to surge once again!

And with even greater speed, it pressed closer toward Chu Liuyue!

A terrifying pressure crushed down upon her. Chu Liuyue felt as if a massive boulder were pressing against her chest, making even breathing difficult, let alone speaking.

Her face grew even paler, and her body was rendered immobile. She could only stand there, watching as the Moon-Devourer was about to strike!

"It's over! Chu Liuyue is likely going to lose!"

"How did she suddenly come out of the Glazed Realm? If she had stayed hidden inside—"

"Staying inside isn't a permanent solution either. Heng Jingchuo is so strong, he could surely push her out of the arena along with the Glazed Realm! It seems she truly has no way to turn the tide this time..."

Almost everyone watched this scene with extreme tension.

Some people were already shaking their heads in secret regret, as if they had already foreseen the final outcome.

However, at that very moment!

A red figure suddenly darted out, appearing in front of Chu Liuyue!

Chu Liuyue felt a slight itch on her cheek. When she focused her gaze, she discovered that the Blood Mink had come out at some unknown moment!

Moreover, it was standing right in front of her!

"Tuanzi! Come back!"

Anxious, Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth and shouted, blood already seeping from the corner of her mouth!

If she could rush to the front right now, she would see that the fury in Tuanzi's eyes was like a burning flame!

The fur all over its body was standing on end; clearly, it intended to charge!

Heng Jingchuo narrowed his eyes, looking at the sudden appearance of that red, fluffy mass in front of him.

"...A Blood Mink?"

Seeing the Blood Mink's hostile expression, he finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Chu Liuyue, is this your magical beast? Are you playing a joke?"

Everyone knew that although this Blood Mink was a Rank 3 magical beast, its actual combat capability was practically non-existent.

Normally, it could be kept as a pet for amusement, but in a duel like this, it would be of no help to its master whatsoever.

To think he had previously thought this Chu Liuyue was so formidable; now it seemed she was nothing more than an immature young girl who didn't even possess a decent magical beast.

This Blood Mink was likely raised just because she thought it was cute, wasn't it?

Ridiculous.

Hearing his words, the hostility in Tuanzi's eyes intensified!

To mock Chu Liuyue was equivalent to mocking it!

In the next instant, its small body lunged forward violently!

It was incredibly fast. The crowd only saw it draw a red arc through the air—it was actually charging straight for the Moon-Devourer!

A cold sneer curled the corner of Heng Jingchuo's mouth.

"A mantis trying to stop a chariot."

How powerful was the strength of that Moon-Devourer? This single strike would likely take the Blood Mink's life directly! It would be crushed to death!

Chu Liuyue wanted to stop it, but because of the crushing pressure, she could not utter a complete sentence.

Tuanzi was being too impulsive!

Inside that Moon-Devourer sphere, there was—

"Awoo!"

Tuanzi lunged directly onto the sphere that was emitting terrifying power!

Chu Liuyue, who had been filled with worry, was suddenly stunned.

That wasn't right!

She was standing here and was already being oppressed by that power to the point of breathlessness, her blood and qi churning within her, so how did Tuanzi just charge straight through?

And it looked as if it wasn't affected at all!?

How... how did it get through?

Before she could figure out the problem, an even more shocking scene occurred!

Tuanzi opened its mouth and bit down hard!

*Crack!*

With a crisp sound, a notch was actually bitten out of the sphere by Tuanzi!

Its cheeks bulged out, making its head look almost as large as half its body.

*Crack!*

*Crack, crack!*

*Gulp—*

Accompanied by this series of sounds, Tuanzi actually chewed and swallowed the piece it had bitten off!

The vast plaza fell into a silence so profound that one could hear a pin drop!

Almost everyone stared with wide eyes, looking at this scene in disbelief!

Even Chu Liuyue's eyelid twitched violently.

What just happened!?

Tuanzi actually ate that thing!?

Ate it!?

Even though it looked like glass or crystal, it really wasn't!

That was nothing but condensed Origin Power!

Heng Jingchuo was also dazed.

He had spent a great deal of effort to cultivate this move, and since its successful cultivation, it had always been his trump card.

Once unleashed, it had never known defeat!

Such a situation had never occurred before!

While everyone was in a daze, Tuanzi opened its mouth again and bit off another large chunk!

The notch on the sphere grew even larger.

As it moved, the Origin Power on the sphere began to deplete rapidly!

Soon, half of the sphere had been swallowed by it.

A strong sense of unease began to surge in Heng Jingchuo's heart.

It couldn't go on like this!

He couldn't afford to think about what was going on with this Blood Mink right now; he had to stop it first!

Otherwise—

He moved forward quickly, but just as he made his move, he realized that the Blood Mink had actually snatched the remaining half of the sphere in its mouth, flicked its tail, and ran!

As it ran, it gnawed on the thing even faster!

*Crack!*

*Crack, crack!*

Listening to these sounds, Heng Jingchuo was nearly driven mad!

—That contained his Origin Power!

If it was swallowed like this, he didn't know how long it would take to recover!

"Stop right there!"

However, he soon discovered that his speed was actually inferior to the Blood Mink's!

Its body was small and extremely agile; it ran all over the arena, and he simply couldn't catch up!

Before long, a significant portion of his power had been consumed, yet the Blood Mink remained energetic!

And so, he watched helplessly as the sphere grew smaller and smaller, until—

*Gulp—*

Tuanzi shoved the last bite into its mouth and swallowed it completely!

Heng Jingchuo's movements froze abruptly, and his body began to tremble slightly!

It was gone...

His Origin Power, just like that, was gone!?

"Tuanzi, are you okay?"

Chu Liuyue finally recovered a bit and rushed forward, looking at it nervously.

Tuanzi opened its round eyes, its body swaying as if it couldn't stand steadily.

Chu Liuyue became even more worried

"I told you not to..."

"Burp—"

Tuanzi suddenly let out a loud, resounding burp.

Chu Liuyue: "..."

Looking at it like this, why did it seem as if it were drunk?

Before she could react, Tuanzi swayed as it turned around to look at Heng Jingchuo.

*Pfft!*

It suddenly spat out a mass of black matter, which flew rapidly toward Heng Jingchuo!

Heng Jingchuo's eyes widened in sheer horror!

It actually spat that thing out!?
