Fey Evolution Merchant

However, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect was under the Insect Queen's control and had gained enough intelligence to know the best move to make during battle.

It could be said that everything that was happening now had surpassed what Long Tao knew about the Quiet Floating Hat Insect. As such, he was completely unprepared.

But the Wave Halberd Killer Whale had already used Flood Blood Whale Fall and had gathered all the energy in its body to a singular point.

Hence, Long Tao was completely unable to halt the Wave Halberd Killer Whale at this point.

If the Wave Halberd Killer Whale was stopped, it would not be able to continue fighting.

Thus, Long Tao felt that the best option would be to allow the Wave Halberd Killer Whale to crash into the sea of glue that enveloped invisible tentacles.

The sea of glue was fluid and was able to slow down anything that it came in contact with.

The sea of glue turned into a 500-meter-long wall of glue that the Wave Halberd Killer Whale charged into.

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects' feelers immediately extended toward the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.

At this point, the Wave Halberd Killer Whale had turned into a large blood-colored furnace and rapidly burned up the energy within its body.

Thus, the sea of glue quickly started to boil and bubble.

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect was very averse to heat.

As such, the high temperature of the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body instantly killed all of the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects.

Still, it was not over just because the young insects were dead.

The young insects' bodies immediately turned to glue and made the sea of glue even stickier.

Long Tao pursed his lips when he sensed the energy inside the Wave Halberd Killer Whale being used up.

The Wave Halberd Killer Whale would definitely be able to break through the wall of glue, but once it did, the energy in its body would also be used up.

Long Tao knew that he had lost!

Even if the Wave Halberd Killer Whale used its self-sacrificing attack, there was no way he would be able to turn the tables.

When the Wave Halberd Killer Whale broke through the wall of glue, its body started to weaken visibly.

The high temperature of the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body boiled up the sea of glue until it was only half of its original size.

At that moment, the Shield Ladybugs that Liu Jie had set up in the trees started to make their moves, all crashing into the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.

The 50 Shield Ladybugs had all reached Diamond X/Fantasy I.

They flew in a straight line, and the combined noise of their flapping wings resembled that of a train.

They made a beeline for the Wave Halberd Killer Whale and used their bodies to protect Liu Jie.

This was the reason the Insect Queen had created them.

No one would think much of Liu Jie's combat style if he lacked power.

But as long as he was strong enough, the 50 Diamond/Fantasy Shield Ladybugs using their bodies to protect Liu Jie would stun anyone who witnessed the sight.

When the Shield Ladybugs slammed against the Wave Halberd Killer Whale, they were all crushed and fell to the ground of the forest.

Every crash depleted the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's power, and their shells left its body with bloody gashes. Many insect parts were also left buried in the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body.

When the 27th Shield Ladybugs broke apart on the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body, the Wave Halberd Killer Whale exploded as well.

Since the remaining 23 Shield Ladybugs had finished their mission, they flew back to Liu Jie and formed a line in front of the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug.

The Shield Ladybugs would not hesitate to attack anything that advanced to complete their mission.

The pieces of the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's exploded body flew far and wide, but none of them made contact with the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug's demon flower shield.

This sight allowed Long Tao and the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence to see how far the canyon between them was and how powerful Liu Jie was.

After a moment of silence from the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, a voice said, "No wonder he's Chief Guard Ye's disciple!"

This exclamation allowed those who had not realized the truth yet to learn what Liu Jie's identity was.

Apparently, Liu Jie was Chief Guard Ye's disciple!

All of Long Tao's feys had been killed, so Liu Jie and Long Tao were transported out of the location.

Long Tao composed himself and said with a smile, "The gap between us truly is large!"

However, Long Tao was not dispirited in the slightest, and he went on to say, "I think that I'll become an A-rank spirit qi professional within six months."

Long Tao did not mean anything else when he said this. He said this because he and Liu Jie were friends.

Liu Jie replied with a smile, "Let me be the first to congratulate you then!"

Liu Jie thought, A year later, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and the rest will probably be able to become A-rank spirit qi professionals. I will be at that level too. At that time, the 12 Firefly Demon Fetuses that Lin Yuan gave me will have reached Myth Breed. I will only reach my peak once I become an A-rank spirit qi professional.

Liu Wencheng walked up to Long Tao and Liu Jie and patted their shoulders as he said, "Long Tao, you might have passed this challenge and become Sequence #30, but the rules state that you still have to pick your challengers based on your original rank."

Long Tao nodded apologetically at Li Ang.

After Li Ang challenged Xia Qing once, he had given up his other two chances.

This meant that Li Ang no longer had any chances to challenge.

Long Tao could challenge Li Ang now and push Li Ang down to Sequence #30.

But Long Tao felt that it would not be appropriate for him to do so.

If he did not challenge Li Ang, he would not have any challenges left.

Long Tao chose to challenge Sequence #7 Lei Ou and send him down to Sequence #30.

Next, it would be Lei Ou's chance to use his three challenges and climb the ladder if he wanted to.

After challenging Lei Ou, Long Tao noticed that Lei Ou, at full strength, was not any weaker than Li Ang. He would likely be able to stand toe-to-toe against Li Ang.

After pushing Lei Ou down, Long Tao challenged Li Ang and rose to Sequence #2 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence while Li Ang became Sequence #7.

Li Ang looked gratefully at Long Tao.

As the challenges continued, many people challenged Xia Qing, but none succeeded.

Soon, it was Liu Jie's turn to challenge.

Liu Jie told his two friends, Bai Hao and Wang Fan, about his situation. He also answered all their questions honestly.

At that moment, Xia Qing walked over to Liu Jie and said to Wang Fan, "Can I have your seat for five minutes? I have a few things to say to Liu Jie!"

Wang Fan hurriedly gave up his seat.

At that moment, Liu Jie's mind was muddled.

He clearly had no ties with Xia Qing and had no idea what she would need to talk to him about.
