Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

"Hehe, okay."

Jiang Mian chuckled softly, her voice gentle, seemingly not at all annoyed by Qian Xiong's offense.

Whether one is a patient with a disease or an awakened individual, a formal "self-introduction" often requires revealing one's sequence abilities, which is tantamount to exposing one's true nature.

Unless it's a long-term relationship like that of colleagues or classmates, there's no need to go through all this trouble.

Knowing that you exist is enough.

Qian Xiong was stunned.

He thought this woman would explode on the spot like Yu Xiaoxiao, but to his surprise, she agreed immediately.

"Um, we could actually discuss the matter of having your name on the deed a little more?"

Chen Li, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

Jiang Mian ignoring Qian Xiong was fine, but that expression... well, it gave off a bad feeling.

If she overhears something she shouldn't, and her strength just happens to be enough to easily defeat both of them, then even if this is the Alliance headquarters, it won't make a difference.

However, upon hearing this, Qian Xiong instinctively retorted:

"Old Chen, what are you chickening out for? The beautiful girl has already agreed, so stop talking nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Chen Li was breathless, and a fierce look appeared on his face.

Are you giving me too much face?

His good temper is simply a matter of considering the bigger picture.

As a patient with a disease, how can you be a truly easy target?

He's holding on purely with reason!

The reason he didn't jump out to stop Qian Xiong was because he was worried that the other party would say something reckless in order to provoke him.

Now that I've tried to smooth things over, this guy still doesn't know when to back down; he's as stupid as a pig!

Chen Li felt that he had indeed been too polite to him.

At this moment, a murderous intent had already arisen in his heart.

If this continues, it will ruin everything sooner or later!

If this woman in the black dress could replace Qian Xiong, Chen Li would welcome it with open arms and feet.

He seems much more reliable than this guy!

"interesting."

Jiang Mian noticed the change in his expression and had already made up her mind.

She leaned back, sitting on the bay window, and said softly:

"You might not believe my sequence number."

"Oh?"

Qian Xiong became interested and took half a step forward.

"Then I should definitely talk about it, just to broaden my horizons."

Yu Xiaoxiao, who had been holding back for a long time, finally seized the opportunity and stood straight next to Jiang Mian, her chin held high.

She glanced at Qian Xiong sideways, her eyes filled with three parts mockery, three parts disdain, and four parts pride.

It's a perfect example of someone who's using someone else's power to intimidate others.

Although Jiang Mian was behind her and couldn't see her expression directly, the corner of her mouth still twitched involuntarily.

No wonder this little guy has lived here for several years; his personality is truly peculiar.

If Yu Xiaoxiao hadn't said it herself, even Jiang Mian wouldn't have guessed that she was already twenty.

If I were to run into Xu Xiaoan, things might get quite interesting.

However, it's unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Jiang Mian withdrew his attention and released the barrier that the domain used to shield him.

At this moment, both Qian Xiong and Chen Li could tell her rank.

"Only... fifth tier?"

Chen Li murmured in disbelief.

No, that's not right!

Why is it so scary?

Generally speaking, one can roughly perceive the target's level by projecting one's mental energy.

If the other party is not on guard, they can receive feedback similar to echolocation.

Although some of the spiritual energy he had just released returned, most of it was swallowed up by a bottomless darkness.

Before Chen Li could think further, Jiang Mian's indifferent voice rang out in the room.

"Xu Miao, Sequence 4, [Chaos] of [Formlessness]."

The office fell silent for a moment.

"Sequence 4?!"

After a moment, the two spoke in unison.

Yu Xiaoxiao revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Although the question of elemental suppression has not yet been resolved, Jiang Mian did indeed use the power of [Chaos] when they met.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Despite this, Qian Xiong had already begun to believe it to some extent.

As if to encourage himself, he chuckled twice and said:

"Haha, the pinnacle? Miss Xu, you must be joking. How could the pinnacle of calamity possibly fall upon humanity?"

Official documents have never disclosed specific information about the apex of the calamity, at least not to those infected underground.

It is generally believed that the top twenty abilities are unlikely to appear in a diseased person, including the pinnacle.

Jiang Mian smiled, knowing that something fun was about to happen.

She did not refute, but said quietly:

"I never said I was human, did I?"

Qian Xiong: "..."

Chen Li: "..."

Chen Li accepted this quite well.

He was the one who first contacted Jiang Mian and knew that the other was someone he could communicate with.

But Qian Xiong didn't think so.

He looked into Jiang Mian's eyes, which always seemed to be smiling, and felt a sudden, inexplicable fear.

Qian Xiongsheng's rusty brain was working at lightning speed.

If she were truly "formless," she could have just slapped him to death; why would she need to waste time talking here?

Is this some kind of pre-meal game?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Since that's the case, why not strike first while the opponent is only at the fifth rank!

If the sneak attack succeeds, and Chen Li joins in, the chances of winning are not small!

Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't suppress it anymore.

Qian Xiong's eyes darted around, and he bowed slightly:

"Um, Miss Xu, I was so careless just now—"

Before he could finish speaking, he unleashed his domain without warning—[Blood Moon Hunting Ground].

The cramped office was instantly replaced by a vast wasteland, and the ceiling became a slightly reddish night sky.

The Cage of the Beasts is a semi-open area; it can be seen from the outside.

The Blood Moon Hunting Grounds, on the other hand, is a completely enclosed area.

In this realm, Qian Xiong can exchange positions with any target and enter a "hunting" state, where all attributes increase by 30%.

Without hesitation, he stacked an enhancement skill, causing his body to grow taller and his size to explode.

His upper body clothing ripped apart with a "rip" sound, turning into tattered strips of cloth, and wisps of scarlet blood emanated from his skin, enveloping his body.

Immediately afterwards, Qian Xiong flashed and switched places with Yu Xiaoxiao, instantly appearing in front of Jiang Mian.

Those rough hands turned into sharp claws and viciously grabbed at her slender waist!

When facing the Chaos Calamity, it is generally agreed that you should try to shred it as much as possible.

For someone like "Xu Miao" who has taken human form, the natural choice is to cut her in half at the waist.

"Qian Xiong, you've gone mad!"

All of this happened too fast; Chen Li had no time to stop it.

There was originally still room for maneuver, but Qian Xiong's move completely blocked the way.

Jiang Mian frowned slightly as he faced Qian Xiong, who was standing right in front of him.

A sixth-order is still a sixth-order.

[Greedy Wolf]'s protective blood energy has armor-piercing damage, and since she is not good at defense, being hit by this attack will probably not be good for her.

But she didn't dodge; she simply raised her left hand slightly.

An extremely dense darkness exploded from within his palm!

Qian Xiong suddenly lost all five senses.

He missed his target, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately shouted:

"Chen Li, what are you waiting for?"

Chen Li, who was in the distance, was not affected by the power of the shadow.

He glanced at Jiang Mian, who remained calm, and then at Qian Xiong, who was running around like a headless fly. He gritted his teeth and focused all his mental energy on his brow.

After a brief moment of gathering his strength, a crack appeared between his brows, revealing his scarlet eyes below.

Chen Li looked in the direction of the two people, and a scarlet beam of light shot out from the third eye between his eyebrows.

However, his target was not Jiang Mian, but Qian Xiong.

This mental attack was his sixth-tier skill, [Inner Demon Tribulation].

Consume all your mental energy to drag your opponent into a mental illusion.

In reality, it can only last for a maximum of ten seconds, with the exact duration depending on the opponent's mental strength and willpower, and there is an extremely low chance of directly killing the spiritual body.

It's an extremely powerful skill, but it consumes too much resources, leaving almost no room for error, and its skill ceiling and floor are ridiculously high.

The beam of light hit Qian Xiong squarely and entered his brow.

He groaned, then curled up, clutching his head, trembling all over, as if experiencing some extreme fear.

Jiang Mian glanced sideways at Chen Li, whose face had turned pale, and asked knowingly:

"Alliance Leader Chen, what are you doing...?"

"Miss Xu, if you want to become the leader of the alliance, I can do my best to help you achieve that."

Chen Li smiled weakly and said:

"I...I've had enough of those idiots."
