A Taste of Despair

"What's the matter? Is your summoned spirit too scared to speak?"

Zhang Mian looked at the silent Zhou Mingrui and could not help but mock him. He had no intention of showing any respect at all.

Zhou Mingrui suddenly opened his eyes and a ghostly light flashed across.

Zhang Mian, who had been cocky just a moment ago, suddenly stopped laughing, as if he had just seen something horrifying.

Zhang Mian's perspective.

When Zhou Mingrui opened his eyes, he felt as though his entire body was being crushed by a terrifying gravity. He was momentarily unable to speak.

However, when Zhou Mingrui shifted his gaze, the feeling instantly disappeared, as though it had never existed.

"You're bluffing. Don't end up like that Xiao Shengyun, who' just all talk." Zhang Mian took a deep breath and pretended to be unbothered.

"You'll know soon enough," Yan Wuyue replied coldly.

Zhou Mingrui's body was suddenly engulfed in a large amount of phantom flames, viciously blazing as if the flames themselves were enraged too.

The match itself was still in progress, so there was no need for the referee's instructions.

Without a word, Zhang Mian's shadow rushed out and controlled Zhou Mingrui and Yan Wuyue's shadows in the blink of an eye.

"Hahaha, I thought you were more powerful, but you're just like that guy."

"I wasted my time and effort. If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have made so many plans."

Seeing that both of them were under his control, Zhang Mian immediately regained his arrogance and mocking attitude.

He could already see himself winning the team competition and entering one of the four major Research Institutes to cultivate.

He could even foresee himself becoming successful and famous.

"Do you think you've already won?"

At this moment, a cold voice rang out.

Zhang Mian shuddered as he stopped his maniacal laughter and looked at Zhou Mingrui.

"No, that's impossible! How are you not being controlled?" Zhang Mian suddenly sensed that his shadow had lost control of his opponent.

"Why is it impossible?" Zhou Mingrui's voice rang out again.

"You, you don't have a shadow!" At this moment, Zhang Mian finally realized.

"I'm a half-energy body. Isn't it normal for an energy body to have no shadow?" Zhou Mingrui said as he stretched his neck.

"This... You actually still had this up your sleeve." Zhang Mian frowned and his expression began to turn serious.

Seeing that the situation appeared to be off, his two teammates immediately rushed over.

Zhang Mian's eyes narrowed. He immediately swung his arm, trying to throw Yan Wuyue out of the arena before anything could happen.

However, he realized that Yan Wuyue didn't move at all. Then, he also felt the same sensation he felt from Zhou Mingrui moments ago.

"How is that possible? You're clearly a human. It's impossible for you to not have a shadow!" Zhang Mian said angrily.

"I'm indeed a human and I do have a shadow, but I can make my shadow disappear." Yan Wuyue pointed at the stars and moons around her.

The glowing energy spheres completely surrounded Yan Wuyue, leaving no trace of her shadow on the ground.

"You...!"

Zhang Mian was so angry that he couldn't say a word. Previously, Zhao Anqi attempted to cover her shadow by moving directly under the sun, but she still had a tiny shadow.

But now, Yan Wuyue had completely eliminated her shadow, not giving him any chance at all.

At this moment, Zhang Mian was like a tiger that had lost its teeth and claws. He was just a big cat and was no longer a threat.

"I didn't have much of an impression of you at first, but you've been pushing my limits since just now."

p Zhou Mingrui slowly strode forward as he said, "I'm curious now. How many punches do you think you can take?"

Zhang Mian's face twitched. When Zhou Mingrui came within ten meters of him, he could not help but take a few steps back.

"What? In your own words, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Mingrui suddenly cracked into a smile. He thought he looked very friendly like that, but in Zhang Mian's eyes, it was like the smile of a devil.

"Weren't you very powerful just now? Then let me see how strong you are. If you have any moves, just use them on me."

Zhou Mingrui began to imitate Zhang Mian's tone. Veins immediately began to pop out on Zhang Mian's forehead. However, he did not dare to move.

"What's the matter? It can't be that the mighty Zhang Mian is also a coward?"

When Zhou Mingrui was half a meter away from Zhang Mian, he, who was half a head taller than Zhang Mian, looked down at him contemptuously.

"Don't worry. You won't be able to admit defeat even if you want to. I'll give you a taste of despair. "

"Hahaha, I knew it. You are just like how I predicted!"

Suddenly, Zhang Mian cackled. Then, he raised his arm and fired a beam at Zhou Mingrui.

Zhou Mingrui did not resist and allowed the beam to hit his body.

"Is this the move you used to defeat Xiao Shengyun?" Zhou Mingrui looked at the mark that appeared on his chest. He raised his head and asked Zhang Mian calmly.

"That's right. Do you feel your energy rapidly declining? In a moment, you won't even have the strength to lift your hand. Believe me, you'll beg me for mercy." Zhang Mian was excited for his victory.

"What if I don't beg you for mercy?" Zhou Mingrui asked cooperatively.

"Then you'll end up like him and embarrass yourself in front of everyone. Hahaha," Zhang Mian laughed.

Zhou Mingrui opened his attribute panel to check his current status and realized that it was just as Zhang Mian had said.

All of his basic attributes were constantly decreasing at a rapid rate.

A notification suddenly popped up.

[Warning, your body is now under the debuff of the curse 'Weaken'. All your attributes have begun to decline by 65 to 55%.]

[Due to your curse resistance, the weakening percentage is reduced by 10 to 15%. The final reduction is based on fluctuations in real life conditions.]

"A debuff skill of up to 65%. It's very powerful. It seems like this is your final trump card?" Zhou Mingrui chuckled.

"That's right. I didn't expect you to be able to laugh at this point."

Zhang Mian squinted his eyes slightly and said rather fiercely, "But don't worry. Soon, you will be like Xiao Shengyun, unable to smile anymore!"

Zhou Mingrui replied with a polite smile, "Don't worry. I've said it before. I'll give you a taste of despair."

"What, you're still so stubborn in this situation?"

Zhang Mian said confidently, "Even if you and Yan Wuyue attack together, you can't beat me in this state. I've already won this match. Hahaha."

Looking at the confident and arrogant Zhang Mian, Zhou Mingrui shook his head slightly before raising his left hand.

In an instant, the space around the two of them began to distort. Huge illusive shadows appeared around them, followed by an endless dark shadow space that descended and completely enveloped the two of them.
