At this moment, under the radiant energy bonds of the colorful bond, Xiao Ye had evolved back into the proud black cat beast-eared girl!
Around her petite loli beast-eared form, surging ink-colored Shadow Force energy clothing instantly enveloped her.
“Shadow Spirit Transformation! Two-tailed Energy Coat Mode!”
This was the Shadow Spirit Transformation. Beast-Ear Maiden Form that Luo Ning and Xiao Ye had been researching these past few days.
Unlike Shadow Spirit Transformation. Shadow Nether Cat. Two-tailed Big Cat Form, this form applied the skill solely to the beast-eared girl Xiao Ye.
“Shadow Spirit Transformation” couldn’t boost Xiao Ye’s vitality or energy values—her HP and MP bars—but it could roughly quintuple her physical stats (strength, defense, resistance, burst speed) and skill intensity (energy control).
The only downside was that in this state, Xiao Ye’s stamina and energy consumption also increased fivefold!
Factoring in Luo Ning’s all-around Bond Enhancement, Xiao Ye’s overall energy value shot straight up from High Transcendent, gradually settling at Middle Commander Level!
Yet the combat pressure she exuded seemed to exceed even Middle Commander Level!
Yin Yue, spectating from offstage, thought to herself that Xiao Ye, being Master’s childhood friend, naturally adapted to Master’s Bond Enhancement quickly…
Xiao Ye’s feelings for Master are no weaker than mine…
In just a little over ten days, she’d already reached nearly a fivefold amplification…
Moreover, Yin Yue estimated Xiao Ye’s mastery of this “Shadow Spirit Transformation” skill had already hit the limit of “Master Level,” likely on the verge of stepping into “Perfect Level.”
As expected of a Legendary Level bloodline—what incredible talent!
In her past life, she alone with a Monarch Bloodline had needed extremely grueling training just to keep up with everyone…
Yin Yue was genuinely envious!
Countless Phantom Rabbit pink-white phantoms carrying Spiritual Fangs surged forward, their razor-sharp spiritual energy fangs inches away!
“Xiao Ye! Shadow Whip!” Luo Ning and Xiao Ye’s thoughts moved as one!
A flicker of shadow light passed through Xiao Ye’s eyes. She slightly raised her tiny hand, and the surging ink-colored shadows around her frantically converged and twisted along her slender fingertips. In an instant, they condensed into a thick, supple shadow long whip that stood in stark contrast to Xiao Ye’s petite frame.
“Hmph! Just some measly trash rabbits!”
Xiao Ye’s proud rebuke landed as her wrist snapped with force, the entire Shadow Whip howling as it swept across.
The whip cracked, and at the trailing afterimage too fast for the eye to catch, it instantly split apart into ten energy branches! Like agile viper afterimages, the ten branches shot out simultaneously, savagely lashing and grinding into the Phantom Rabbit illusion clones charging head-on.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each strike collided and burst into a puff of fine pink-white Phantom Light, the struck illusions dissolving and dispersing like bubbles in an instant.
The countless surging Phantom Rabbit clones couldn’t touch Xiao Ye or Luo Ning in the slightest.
In barely two seconds, the Phantom Rabbit’s spread of Halo Phantoms was completely swept clean.
The Halo Phantoms in the arena dropped to zero, and the Phantom Rabbit’s true body, hidden in the deepest layer, was fully exposed to view.
At that moment, the originally playful pink-white little rabbit’s ruby-like eyes flew wide open in utter shock.
What’s going on?!
How did this kitten’s energy pressure suddenly surge to a level stronger than hers?!
And she turned into a human?!
The Phantom Rabbit instantly felt the pressure, using her superior rabbit reflexes to dodge several strikes from the Shadow Whip.
Female referee Wu Zhen immediately made her judgment, her awe for Luo Ning growing even deeper as she quickly pulled out her Energy Detector.
[Energy Value: Approximately 52,000 points, Middle Commander Level!]
This is Middle Commander Level energy pressure?!
A temporary breakthrough?
Since when do breakthroughs skip two whole tiers at once?!
And more than that, the overall combat power that cat-eared girl gave off didn’t feel like Middle Commander Level at all!
If that cat girl hadn’t awakened King’s Pressure yet, she’d believe that aura belonged to a low-tier monarch!
“What’s going on?! Phantom Rabbit! Watch out!” Lin Xiaoyin saw the tide turning dramatically—how could she have imagined the opponent still had tricks up their sleeve!
The Phantom Rabbit immediately dared not linger. Her fluffy hind legs slammed against the ground as she turned to tear through the air and flee!
But did Luo Ning and Xiao Ye intend to let her go that easily?!
“Shadow Whip. Bind!” The moment Luo Ning shouted, the Shadow Whip in Xiao Ye’s hand had already howled out!
The whip’s reach even broke past the original fifteen-meter limit of “Master Level,” stretching over twenty meters!
The ten Shadow Whip branches once again split into countless afterimage branches through residual shadows! In that instant, they seemed to transform into countless thick, supple shadow tentacles, surging forth in a sky-covering pursuit with fierce ink-colored flowing light.
No matter how the Phantom Rabbit dodged, with Xiao Ye’s tiny hand constantly twitching, the Shadow Whip was like it had auto-targeting cheats activated, chasing and coiling around in layer upon layer.
Not only that, the dozens of Shadow Whip branches acted like a prison of restraints, gradually sealing off the Phantom Rabbit’s escape routes!
The Phantom Rabbit’s body suddenly stiffened, her full-speed evasive form violently yanked to a halt midair!
Her spiritual energy surged wildly as she tried to blast apart the Shadow Whip bindings coiled around her!
But would Luo Ning give her that chance?!
“Xiao Ye, let them see what a real clone looks like!”
Luo Ning and Xiao Ye’s noses tilted up in perfect sync, both flashing identical proud, arrogant, tsundere expressions.
“Got it!” Xiao Ye’s blue-gold heterochromatic eyes churned with shadows.
“Shadow Clone!”
Xiao Ye’s lovely voice rang across the arena!
The shadows beneath her feet boiled, thick ink-colored darkness surging upward!
Sizzle!!!
A cat-eared girl loli energy clone—identical in figure, face, Lolita dress, Shadow Force energy coat, and blue-gold heterochromatic eyes—materialized in unison from the shadows!
Unlike the Phantom Rabbit’s illusionary clones, this single clone of Xiao Ye’s radiated the exact same Middle Commander Level aura as her main body!
The Shadow Clone wielded an identical Shadow Whip, forming a pincer stance with the main body, completely sealing off the Phantom Rabbit’s last remaining escape route.
“Hehe, now it’s two against one!” Luo Ning flashed a “simple and honest cute” wicked grin at the pale-faced Lin Xiaoyin nearby.
Wait.
Identical aura? A clone with identical combat power?!
How is that possible?!
Beside the spectator stands, female referee Wu Zhen’s Referee Flag nearly slipped from her hand.
The Phantom Rabbit, tightly bound midair, had her legs practically smoking from kicking—no matter how she dodged, she couldn’t escape the Shadow Whip’s relentless pursuit!
But now you’re telling me there’s ANOTHER one holding that black tentacle-like whip?!
“?!?!” The Phantom Rabbit.
Lin Xiaoyin froze in place on the spot, her mouth agape in a perfect round O of shock, her mind going completely blank. At first, she’d been thrilled that Xiao Ye had transformed back into a cat-eared girl.
But the next second, her Phantom Rabbit’s offense was shattered in an instant, and the tables had turned!
She’d been consoling herself that the opponent had merely forcibly boosted their realm—Phantom Rabbit’s speed was top-tier among Low Tier Commander Level, so she’d surely find a gap to break through that wicked whip tentacle’s restraint.
But the next moment, she saw a second cat-eared girl loli appear out of thin air with an entirely identical aura, gripping an equally intimidating Shadow Whip tentacle…
She got even more excited…
No, wait!
She was frantic!
“N-no way, right?!” Lin Xiaoyin quickly snapped back to her senses, her voice instinctively rising, “Why does even your clone have combat power like that?! Aren’t clones supposed to be decorative decoys?!”
Midair, Xiao Ye’s clone swung the shadow long whip in unison, layer after layer of shadows tightening.
The Phantom Rabbit’s spiritual light halo visibly dimmed around her, until she was utterly swallowed in despair by Xiao Ye’s wicked Shadow Whip tentacle swarm.
“Phew…” Lin Xiaoyin.
Lin Xiaoyin watched the Phantom Rabbit’s despairing state of being surrounded by wicked tentacles, and her breathing started growing rapid.
Wait!
Luo Ning also noticed the other girl’s condition.
Why was she suddenly trembling and squeezing her legs together, breathing heavily and swallowing saliva, while her face turned an abnormal flush again?!
“‘???” Luo Ning.
Holy crap, what is this perverted sadist Green Tea Bitch thinking?!
“…” The female referee.
What was she supposed to do now—step in and stop it? But she couldn’t break through that move either!
Her own familiar’s strength topped out at Middle Commander Level, but against cat girl Xiao Ye’s technique, the female referee figured her familiar probably couldn’t break through that mass of ink-colored whip tentacles’ entanglement formation either.
Thankfully, Luo Ning still had a good sense of restraint. Xiao Ye dispersed the Shadow Whip and Shadow Clone after a moment, without continuing to lash and crush—she merely used the tentacles to knock the Phantom Rabbit unconscious, not going for the kill.
When the Phantom Rabbit reappeared, she was already rolling her eyes with her tongue out, unconscious.
“Phantom Rabbit!”
Only then did Lin Xiaoyin snap back to reality, rushing over frantically to check on the Phantom Rabbit. She only relaxed after confirming it was just a knockout.
Then her gaze gradually turned feverish, landing on the cat-eared girl Xiao Ye, the flush on her face still not fading.
Xiao Ye.
Xiao Ye was utterly disgusted. She hastily deactivated Shadow Spirit Transformation and Moé Girl Evolution, reverting to her gorgeous black cat form, and scrambled back onto Luo Ning.
And also!
Luo Ning, can I call the police?
Female referee Wu Zhen, seeing that Luo Ning had maintained the bottom line of an arena spar, let out a relieved breath. She raised her Referee Flag high and declared at maximum speed:
“This match is over! Phantom Rabbit has lost combat ability!”
“The winner is Luo Ning!! Congratulations to contestant Luo Ning for securing a perfect 10-win streak in the Jiangcheng Guguga Branch Supernatural-level Match!!”
