Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 158: Flame Serpent Spell Part3

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Adrianna, Tang Yue walked over to her stage in a good mood.

She was eager to see who finally dared to fight against her when everyone else ignored her like the plague.

Her match was scheduled on Stage 4 and unlike the previous fights, this time around she was facing a well-experienced Emperor realm expert.

Tang Yue gazed pensively at the tall and lean elf standing on the stage for a minute. 

He looked quite confident, even more so than herself.

Her long forked tongue flickered in and out as a subtle glint shone in her emerald eyes.

A few minutes later, completely surprising the crowd that had gathered around the stage, Tang Yue unexpectedly stepped onto the stage, wearing only a single golden-brown armor.

Of course, the single armor was still a rare grade armor that had the capability to block even a Saint Realm opponent’s attack.

But at least unlike before, her slender figure was not overwhelmingly drowned in a multitude of high-end treasures.

Her opponent, the thin and tall good looking elf smirked slightly. 

Before he came here, everyone had warned him and now he was taken aback by her change in attitude.

Cob smiled. 

The Princess had clearly grown more arrogant these past few days and had blatantly underestimated him.

He didn’t mind it. In fact, it had worked out quite well for him.

The match soon started and Tang Yue waited for the opponent’s first move. 

She held in her hand the rare-grade sword, which was coated with her venom.

Unlike her previous opponents, Cob was not a cultivator who focused on his body tempering.

He was someone who attached more importance to his elemental magic.

The second the match started he immediately approached Tang Yue, summoning a roaring flame serpent.

Facing it up close, the flame serpent looked even more fierce and terrifying, with an enormous wave of fire surrounding her from all directions.

The serpent had lifted its head and completely devoured her.

Cob smiled contently. The first step of his plan was executed smoothly.

He knew who he was fighting against, so he came sufficiently prepared. 

He had heard all about her armor defenses and her poisoned sword.

He didn’t know why the Princess had underestimated him, but luckily for him, her armor defenses were absent today and he only had to deal with her poisoned sword.

While Tang Yue was struggling to stabilize her situation engulfed within the firestorm, Cob quickly dashed towards her and slashed at her, directly aiming for her wrist.

CLANG

Tang Yue was skillfully disarmed.

The elf then stepped back and smirked. He had successfully negated all the potential threats.

And now, it was time for him to come in for the final kill.

Just like he had expected this match was about to be finished within the span of a few seconds.

“Heh. This your actual skill level.” 

He snorted and loudly declared as he quickly dashed towards her, aiming for her neck.

The flame serpent died down as well, revealing Tang Yue’s pale blue figure perfectly as if she was target practice.

Cob’s eyes slightly widened.

The woman in front of him was completely unharmed as opposed to the severely burnt and injured state he had calculated. 

Her skin was not wounded and there were no injuries on her body.

Fuck! He cursed inwardly. 

It looked like the princess was still hiding a few secrets.

The flame serpent spell was a mid-grade spell. There was no way that someone in the martial realm can withstand it unharmed.

Even Emperor realm experts would be wounded and injured by it without the proper preparations.

Did she already activate the effects of her armor? He wondered.

But his feet and hands moved fluidly approaching the snake with contempt.

Hiyaap.

Cob yelled. He planned to repeatedly slash against her armor and break it down with brute force.

However, the woman in front of him was leisurely standing. She didn’t even try and block his attacks.

And after the second slash, Cob suddenly felt something spray in his eyes.

Arghhhh!

The elf screamed in pain. He instantly dropped on his knees rubbing his eyes like a maniac.

They were burning. It felt as if his eyes were melting.

And luckily for him, before he could feel the full brunt of the pain, he fell down on the stage unconscious and fainted, froth leaking out of his mouth.

“What a fool! Tsk. Tsk.”

Tang Yue coolly walked down, seeing that the match was already over. The referee as well declared her the winner.

Tang Yue looked at the gob-smacked crowd and chuckled.

“Why would anyone think that a snake needed her sword to poison her enemies? Heh.” She loudly laughed and walked away.

Fuck! Almost everyone gasped in realization at the same time.

It was not Tang Yue who had become arrogant and underestimated Cob, but it was actually vice-versa.

No one had ever expected a serpentine spirit beast’s venom to be so strong.

They all had assumed that she had used something from the black market and applied it on her weapons.

So Cob had felt relatively safe when he disarmed her in the first move.

Not even a single person had considered that the poison could be from her own venom.

Why would they? 

Since when were spirit beasts strong enough to affect an Emperor realm expert with their beast skills?

They were weaklings. They were at the bottom of the food chain. 

No one expected their innate skill venom spit to be this ridiculous!

The crowd who had jeered and booed her earlier remained completely silent now.

This fight she had kind of won fair and square. It was full and full Cob’s responsibility to come prepared for her venom.

She was a serpentine spirit beast after all!

Tang Yue did not linger much longer and hurried back to the palace. 

Just now while she was witnessing first hand the flame serpent spell, she had achieved a small breakthrough in her fire magic comprehension.

She wanted to return quickly and try it out.
