"When these venomous tadpoles grow up, that woman from Cloud Summit Villa will die quickly!"
The little boy concluded this after seeing the venomous tadpoles already the size of millet grains. The Life-Eating Venomous Tadpole can quickly absorb the strength and blood essence of professionals to grow rapidly. Although even at their largest, they are no bigger than a grain of rice, they are still considered toxic insects and are extremely difficult to remove once they stick to someone. They can swiftly drain a person's vitality, causing them to suffer greatly before death in a relatively short amount of time.
Perhaps thinking of such a scene excited the little boy, who licked his lips. Ye Zhongming frowned slightly as he observed the situation in the arena, feeling a hint of worry. The King of Cloud Summit was not afraid of Red Hair facing a powerful opponent.
This was similar to his standing in the national district. In the national district, Ye Zhongming was the number one person; this ranking undoubtedly had some flattery from the five rings society but also essentially matched his strength.
In the vast national district, Ye Zhongming was indeed one of the strongest individuals, possibly even the strongest! Not to mention, when it came to battle beasts, even someone like Li Daqian, who came from the 'profession' of Ten Thousand Beast Manor, had to concede defeat.
With the additional weaponry and equipment provided by top craftsmen, if Ye Zhongming claimed to be second, no one would dare to pat their chest and assert they were first.
Red Hair was similar; while she may still be slightly behind Ye Zhongming, if you really think about it, ever since she was created by Ye Zhongming, she had undergone countless battles, winning them all. Even in the face of ninth-level life forms, her resilience was admirable.
After acquiring the undead fish dragon, Red Hair's strength increased significantly. Ye Zhongming had a rough estimate of everyone’s strength in Cloud Summit. If he had to pick who was the second strongest besides himself, he would most likely cast his vote for Red Hair.
This puppet he had 'created' had gained a new life, and even Ye Zhongming was unsure of how far she had progressed.
But one thing he was certain of was that Red Hair was strong, really strong.
This opponent named Ahan seemed somewhat elusive in terms of momentum; Ye Zhongming suspected he was an eight-star evolver. Since he wasn't a nine-star, the probability of Red Hair losing was very low given her strength.
The sudden change with the undead fish dragon had slightly weakened Red Hair, but Ahan was definitely not a top-tier eight-star evolver.
Ye Zhongming thought this match was a sure win.
But when he saw Ahan's strange profession, the King of Cloud Summit began to lose confidence.
He was not afraid that Red Hair would lose; he was worried that even if she won, she would still suffer from this thing's effects.
At this moment, Ye Zhongming couldn't help but question whether his decision to never bring Park Soo-young into battle was overly conservative.
While the journey of the hidden snake side was feeling proud, the Cloud Summit side was anxious when Red Hair began her counterattack.
The light and shadow arena was beautiful and sturdy; whether it was Ahan's massive hands or Red Hair's long spear, the results of striking it were utterly immovable.
Ahan's insects posed a significant threat to Red Hair. Even though she had been dodging all along and had never been directly hit by her opponent, the sheer number of insects thrown into the air by Ahan was unavoidable, and now every second, Red Hair's stamina points were decreasing by over ten! If this continued, without Ahan doing anything, Red Hair would essentially defeat herself in ten minutes.
But the venomous tadpoles not only clung to Red Hair but also impacted the light and shadow arena, which remained steadfast.
Initially in a bit of a dire situation, Red Hair suddenly chuckled softly, and for some unknown reason, Ahan felt a sense of doubt and immediately halted his attack, retreating a bit.
