Chapter 111: Captain, Are You Serious?

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Captain, Are You Serious?

Faced with Qin Yao’s repeated provocations, the innate pride within Su Qingyue was finally fully ignited.

"You’re asking for death!"

Su Qingyue snorted coldly.

Her eyes instantly regained their extreme chill, and the surrounding temperature plummeted sharply.

She immediately activated the newly acquired C-grade [Ice Spear Technique].

"Swish!"

A sharp ice spear, radiating terrifying Frost Energy, materialized in an instant!

Simultaneously, over a dozen fine ice needles, nearly invisible to the naked eye, shot out like venomous snakes striking, sealing off all of Qin Yao’s escape routes.

Wearing the Red [Frostglove], Su Qingyue gripped the ice spear and charged straight at Qin Yao with piercing killing intent.

Confronted with this sudden, fierce assault, a flicker of surprise flashed in Qin Yao’s eyes.

"Oh my, you’ve adapted quite quickly. It seems our campus belle has quite the combat talent."

But the next moment, Qin Yao’s originally alluring gaze instantly turned wild.

The A-grade talent [Volcanic Magma Burst] activated instantly!

A red glow immediately suffused her fair skin.

A terrifyingly high-temperature Fireball exploded violently in the air!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss—"

The ice needles Su Qingyue had shot melted into steam the moment they entered the area around Qin Yao, overwhelmed by the intense heat.

The overwhelming superiority of an A-grade talent over a C-grade one was laid bare in that instant.

Su Qingyue gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with defiance.

Clutching the ice spear tightly, she pressed forward relentlessly, attempting to use the extreme cold to freeze Qin Yao’s movements.

However, Qin Yao’s extensive, life-or-death combat experience was simply too formidable.

She merely sidestepped to avoid the ice spear’s thrust and countered with a swift grappling move.

"Thud!"

Su Qingyue was cleanly and decisively pinned down by Qin Yao onto the cold deck.

The searing heat suppressed any thought of resistance from Su Qingyue; no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free.

"Alright, that’s enough."

Lin Ji spoke up at just the right moment, halting this unequal spar.

He looked at Su Qingyue pinned to the ground.

"Now do you understand the real gap? You need to redouble your efforts."

Su Qingyue bit her rosy lips, somewhat unwilling but obediently nodded.

Then, Lin Ji shifted his gaze to Qin Yao beside them and gestured with his chin toward Gu Yihan.

"Next, begin Gu Yihan’s special training."

Qin Yao released Su Qingyue and flexed her wrist.

When she looked at Gu Yihan, her expression noticeably turned serious and grave.

"Then let’s begin. Show me Miss Gu’s new tricks!"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Yihan forcefully pushed off the ground.

A visible gale of cyan wind instantly enveloped her entire body.

Gu Yihan seemed to transform into a blurry afterimage, instantly putting distance between herself and Qin Yao.

While still in mid-air, she smoothly drew a steel arrow.

Nock, draw!

"Whoosh!"

A shrill sound of something tearing through the air exploded in the night sky.

Qin Yao snorted coldly, hurling the high-temperature Fireball she had gathered in her hand directly at the incoming arrow.

But something bizarre happened!

The arrow, which had originally been heading straight for Qin Yao’s face, abruptly and without warning changed trajectory mid-air!

Completely defying the laws of physics, it evaded the Fireball’s interception and shot fiercely toward Qin Yao’s flank.

"What?"

Qin Yao’s face was filled with astonishment.

At the critical moment, she clumsily rolled forward, barely managing to dodge the arrow.

"Nice!"

Lin Yurou and Bai Taotao, who were watching from the side, couldn’t help but applaud and cheer.

This god-like archery completely overturned their understanding of what was possible.

The battle continued.

Qin Yao completely abandoned her earlier underestimation, her body radiating intense heat as she charged toward Gu Yihan like a wild panther.

If she got close, Gu Yihan would undoubtedly lose.

But on the open deck, Gu Yihan maximized the mobility of her B-grade Astral Wind.

Surrounded by a rapidly rotating barrier of astral wind, she could even briefly step on air currents to hover.

Gu Yihan elegantly kited from the sky.

Each arrow traced a cunning, unpredictable trajectory mid-air, forcing Qin Yao to defensively block attacks from blind spots.

The intense battle was spectacular, leaving the onlookers dazzled.

However, in the face of absolute Talent Level and experience, the outcome was already decided.

When Gu Yihan’s hovering glide showed a brief moment of stiffness,

Qin Yao instantly seized the opening.

"Got you!"

Qin Yao stomped hard, shattering the wooden planks beneath her as she shot upward.

The highly compressed Fireball in her hand exploded violently, the massive shockwave blasting Gu Yihan right out of the sky.

Just as Gu Yihan was about to crash onto the deck,

Lin Ji stepped forward, extending his strong arms to catch her securely, holding her steadily in his embrace.

"Well done."

Lin Ji steadied the panting Gu Yihan in his arms, then gave an approving nod to Qin Yao nearby.

"You did great today. Good work."

Qin Yao landed steadily back on the deck, her tight-fitting Red leather outfit accentuating her allure even more.

She provocatively licked her rosy lips.

Her peach-blossom eyes now burned with intense fighting spirit.

She stared directly at Lin Ji, her words startling everyone:

"Since both younger sisters have finished their training..."

"How about I also have a match with the Captain?"

As Qin Yao’s highly provocative words rang out,

the surroundings fell into a brief, tense silence.

Gu Yihan, still held in Lin Ji’s arms, and Su Qingyue, who had just gotten up from the deck,

both looked at Qin Yao with surprise.

Although they had just been overpowered by Qin Yao’s seasoned combat experience,

in their hearts, Lin Ji was the ultimate authority on this ship.

Even with an A-grade talent, Qin Yao challenging the Captain was incredibly bold.

Lin Yurou and Bai Taotao, watching from the corner, were so nervous they hardly dared to breathe.

Lin Ji looked at Qin Yao, brimming with fighting spirit before him.

Not only was he not angry, but the corner of his mouth slowly curled into an intrigued smile.

He released Gu Yihan from his embrace and turned his gaze to Qin Yao.

"You want to fight me?"

"Are you sure?"

Under Lin Ji’s intensely oppressive gaze, Qin Yao didn’t retreat in the slightest. Instead, she proudly straightened her exceptionally ample chest.

The tight-fitting Red leather outfit, damp with fragrant sweat, seemed ready to burst at any moment.

She walked toward Lin Ji with a seductive sway, her voice dripping with honeyed sweetness.

"Captain~ I just wanted to personally experience how powerful you really are!"

"Fighting those two girls earlier wasn’t satisfying at all. Only you can truly satisfy me~"

These flirtatious, suggestive words made the nearby young women blush deeply.

But Lin Ji keenly detected the untamed, competitive wildness hidden deep in Qin Yao’s eyes.

Though this woman appeared submissive on the surface, at her core she was an arrogant fire-element A-grade powerhouse.

She wanted to personally test Lin Ji’s true limits!

"Fine."

Lin Ji shrugged and nodded indifferently, then exuded an overwhelming aura of authority.

"Everyone, step back! Clear the deck!"

Hearing the Captain’s command.

Despite their worries, Gu Yihan, Su Qingyue, and the others quickly retreated to the safe edges of the deck.

In an instant, the entire spacious combat area was left with only Lin Ji and Qin Yao standing face-to-face.

The sea breeze whipped their clothes, making them flutter noisily.

Lin Ji calmly looked at Qin Yao.

"Since this is a spar, I won’t take advantage of you."

"I won’t use the A-grade [Volcanic Magma Burst] I synchronized from you!"

"Not only that, I also won’t use any weapons or equipment armor."

"Otherwise, you might cry after I beat you, saying I bullied a woman with superior gear."

Hearing Lin Ji’s confident words!

All the women present couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Abandoning his strongest talent and fine weapons to face an A-grade powerhouse barehanded?

This was madness!

Qin Yao’s originally battle-ready peach-blossom eyes now flickered with a trace of stunned surprise.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, carefully scrutinizing the man before her.

"Captain, are you serious?"
