"What?"

Hearing the sound, Liu Buhui instinctively turned his head, seeing the River-devouring Toad spewing black smoke, its whole body in a mess, gravely injured and fallen.

And Vishdair was already charging over here!

Had the River-devouring Toad been instantly killed?!

"How is this possible?!"

Liu Buhui's expression changed dramatically, not understanding what had happened.

On the sidelines, Huai Shouren's face was ashen—he and the two beside him indeed witnessed the whole process.

At the instant Vishdair approached the River-devouring Toad, seemingly unguarded, she suddenly reached into her pocket, grabbed a handful of black and red spherical objects, and hurled them into the Toad's mouth; then with an explosion, it fell.

The logic was evident, yet his heart was still puzzled.

It should be known that not only does the River-devouring Toad have the trait of [Moist Skin], its epidermis is highly resistant to flame damage, and its name, River-devouring, proves its ability to swallow all sorts of things without injury.

Exactly how did that bomb manage to instantly kill it?

Of course, Huai Shouren wouldn't know. After having True Intent Implanted in him, Vishdair, who had mastered the Explosion Fist close to the Purple level, could already channel the power of Explosion Fist into objects, triggering a delayed explosion.

Although this conversion couldn't last long and had to be stored intimately.

But without a doubt, when it comes to bombs, Vishdair is an absolute expert.

The best materials for making such bombs are undoubtedly fire attribute spiritual materials and Ethereal Crystals.

Even though this bomb's conversion ratio of ether to power as an Explosion Fist derivative skill barely reaches the Green level, it can't withstand Lin Guang's cost-no-object investment in materials; the ether content in the bombs thrown earlier was several times that of Vishdair's whole being after advancement.

(Of course, the price is even more than her entire… ahem.)

And even if Lin Guang hadn't activated [Burning Water], it would just be a matter of grabbing another handful.

Seeing Vishdair approaching, Liu Buhui's expression changed dramatically, forcing himself to stop thinking and return his thoughts to reality.

Suddenly, Vishdair's right arm pulled back during her run, with flames materializing and spiraling into her right fist, her whole body emitting a faint red-blue glow.

Could it have been this just now?! President Rote's Explosion Fist?!

Liu Buhui became alert; his talent status climbed to the peak, giving him a bit of confidence, so he gritted his teeth:

"A Shui, use [Water Shield] to block her!"

Following Liu Buhui's order, the cloudy water elf composed of yellow-brown liquid transformed, once again forming a thick curved water barrier in front of Liu Buhui, its skill proficiency had reached [Entering the Hall], enough to stop even a full-speed bus.

However, seeing this, she suddenly dispersed the anomaly in her hands, reached into her pockets again, and pulled out two more black and red spheres, grinning at him.

"Eat shit!"

Boom—

In Liu Buhui's stunned gaze, the thick water shield of the cloudy water elf, a defense element spirit beast, barely managed its defense under his blessing, blocking the impact, only for some cloudy water to splash on Liu Buhui's face, causing him to close his eyes.

But at that moment.

Liu Buhui suddenly felt something seize his collar, touching his shoulder.

Instantly, a ripple of immense pain accompanied by a scorching smell emanated from his shoulder, causing him to cry out, "Ah!!"

He forced his eyes open to see, almost scaring his soul out of his body; Lin Guang stayed before him, his right hand pressing on Liu Buhui's shoulder, aflame, with an innocent smile at the corner of his mouth, "Sunny Day" cast light from behind Lin Guang's head, his face softly clad in darkness, yet those eyes shimmered with a dark golden glow like an evil spirit crawling up from Hell.

The cloudy water elf, directly hit by the bomb and stunned for a second before barely reacting, tried to rescue its Spirit Master, only to be blocked by an impregnable barrier.

Despite such mental torment, Liu Buhui fought to stand, shouting, "I—"

"Did anyone permit you to speak?"

Before he could utter those three words, Lin Guang slapped him with the other flame-filled hand, interrupting the words into cries of pain, even disrupting his maintained Talent Blessing.

"Buzz!"

The frantically screeching cloudy water elf sensed the dire status of its master, yet Vishdair was already upon it, her crimson fist smashing into it, leaving it overwhelmed.

Lin Guang grinned, glancing aside at the steel-faced, teeth-grinding Huai Shouren, flipping the immobilized Liu Buhui onto the ground with a kick, "Young Master Huai, there's a flaw in how you train your dogs."

"Allow me to teach you... how to manage your dog."

He bent over, pressing down on Liu Buhui.

Snap!

"Ah—!!!"

The press, sparking fire, not only burned through Liu Buhui's jacket, fusing his skin with fabric but also dislocating his shoulder, Lin Guang's face exaggeratedly surprised, then quickly apologizing, "Oh, sorry, my hand slipped, let me put it back."

Snap.

Alongside the crisp returned snap and another wail, Liu Buhui's shoulder bone returned to place, sweat beads rolling down from his forehead: "Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

With renewed force, he dislocated the other shoulder, along with remorse-free sounding apologies coming from his mouth.

"Oops, sorry, sorry, my hand slipped again, your shoulder sure is slippery."

"Oops, pressed the wrong way again, my apologies."

Swathed in Liu Buhui's actions, the cloudy water elf had no desire to tangle with Vishdair, crying mournfully as Lin Guang's actions unraveled it, despite having a significant chance against Vishdair, it got battered to near collapse by another Explosion Fist.

Then, Lin Guang seemingly satisfied, stood up, nodded.

"That's more like it."

"..."

Liu Buhui didn't respond, much like a charred corpse, with a shape tenuously maintained by the sobbing cloudy water elf.

Of course, he wasn't dead.

Lin Guang didn't adjust the Samadhi True Fire temperature too high—his Spiritual Power had limits—just Liu Buhui's voice had long gone hoarse, body, and soul reaching extreme, unwilling to move even a finger.

"All right, I'm letting him off."

"Announce the result."

The middle-aged man seemed dumbstruck, stunned for a second before he announced, "Battle over!"

"..."

Witnessing the scene, Huai Shouren's eye twitched, his face twisted in rage, even if he were to grind his teeth to pieces the next moment, it wouldn't be surprising.
