Chapter 112: Suppressing the Flaming Beauty

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Suppressing the Flaming Beauty

"No items? And not even using my A-grade Skill?"

Qin Yao’s red lips parted slightly as she began calculating Lin Ji’s hidden combat capabilities.

"If I’m not mistaken..."

"After abandoning my core talent, Captain, you can have at most two B-grade talents on you, right?"

"One is the overpowering [Astral Wind] you just synchronized from Sister Yihan..."

As she spoke, Qin Yao’s gaze subtly shifted toward Lin Yurou, who stood at the edge of the group.

"As for the other, it should be the B-grade [Deep Slumber] you synchronized from Sister Yurou, correct?"

Hearing Qin Yao’s speculation turn toward her, Lin Yurou, who stood timidly in the corner, instantly paled.

She bit her lip tightly, lowered her head, and twisted her fingers together anxiously.

Everyone knew that to have a high-grade talent synchronized by the Captain, one had to engage in that kind of deep, zero-distance exchange!

If the Captain had truly synchronized Lin Yurou’s talent, didn’t that mean she had already completely given herself to him?

However.

Just as the women’s expressions shifted with varied thoughts.

Lin Ji decisively sneered and shook his head.

"You guessed half wrong."

"Currently, I only have one copied B-grade talent on me."

The moment these words left his mouth, Qin Yao froze in surprise.

Lin Ji looked at Qin Yao, his expression unchanged, but inwardly, he was grumbling.

It was true that Lin Ji was a lecher.

But he was also a paranoid man with severe, peculiar standards when it came to women.

He was only interested in those who were pure and untouched.

So, even though Lin Yurou possessed a rare and powerful B-grade talent.

Lin Ji had never once considered synchronizing her Skill.

He hadn’t even touched her.

However, Lin Ji was a competent and ruthless strategist.

He understood deeply that in these perilous seas, the morale of every usable member in the team was crucial.

Though Lin Yurou was weak in combat, she was currently part of the team, and Lin Ji considered her sensitive, fragile self-esteem.

Therefore, he had never shared these inner thoughts with anyone.

He stood calmly in place, watching Qin Yao.

"To deal with you."

"One newly acquired B-grade talent, plus a few C-grade trump cards, is more than enough."

Faced with Lin Ji’s arrogant words.

Qin Yao was first taken aback, then her blood surged with excitement!

Seductively, she extended her tongue and traced a circle over her crimson lips.

Her enchanting peach-blossom eyes erupted with violent, molten fury!

"Since the Captain is so overconfident and insists on going easy on me..."

"Then I’ll definitely give it my all to serve you properly!"

Boom—!

The moment her words fell.

A terrifying wave of high temperature instantly erupted with Qin Yao at its center!

A-grade [Volcanic Magma Burst] activated at full power!

On her snow-white skin, blood vessels lit up with deadly dark red patterns like boiling magma.

Even the few women who had retreated to the edge of the area were now forced back step by step by the terrifying heatwave rushing toward them.

They even felt it had become difficult to breathe!

So powerful!

Was this the true, unrestrained destructive power of an A-grade talent?!

Su Qingyue and Gu Yihan stared fixedly at the center of the arena, their faces pale.

As for Lin Ji, standing at the core of the heatwave storm—

Not a trace of fear showed on his sharply defined face.

Instead, a fervent fighting spirit surged within him!

"Come on!"

Lin Ji roared lowly.

His will instantly detonated!

C-grade talent [Rock Armor]!

A layer of hard, heavy gray-brown rock instantly grew wildly from the surface of his skin,

Protecting all the vital parts of his body.

Immediately after.

The newly acquired B-grade talent [Astral Wind] was fiercely activated!

"Whoosh—!"

A sharp azure gale completely tore through the high temperature enveloping Lin Ji.

The azure gale instantly transformed into a layer of violent, high-speed astral qi defense net.

Firmly shielding the sturdy rock armor within.

Azure hurricane and dark red magma.

Two utterly different yet equally violent forces collided explosively under the night sky!

"Boom!"

Qin Yao, like an erupting meteor, carrying a terrifying high-temperature fireball, smashed directly toward Lin Ji.

Even without using a skill, relying solely on her rich combat experience, this was a lethal strike.

Yet, a cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Ji’s mouth.

"On this vast sea, your fire-type talent is greatly diminished, able to exert at most B+ grade power."

Before his words faded, Lin Ji’s eyes already gleamed with a deep, dark blue light.

B+ grade [Eye of Insight] operating at full capacity!

In Lin Ji’s vision, the chaotic trajectory of Qin Yao’s fireball,

Even the muscle contraction points for her next move were all slowed down and analyzed with perfect clarity.

"Too many openings."

Lin Ji murmured, the frenzied azure astral wind around him suddenly converging.

The B-grade [Astral Wind] was controlled by him with surgical precision.

Transforming into a sharp micro-wind shear, it forcefully cut into the weakest energy connection point of Qin Yao’s fireball.

"Bang!"

The fireball instantly lost balance, not only blown off course

But was also forcibly detonated mid-air by the astral wind, stirring up a sky full of water vapor.

Qin Yao, however, was not discouraged. Using the rising steam as cover, she closed in like a nimble panther.

Her long legs, wrapped in scorching high temperature, swept through the air like battle-axes, fiercely aiming for the back of Lin Ji’s neck.

This kind of ruthless close-quarters combat was the true killing move of this desperate rose.

But Lin Ji had already anticipated it.

With a thought, the C-grade [Rock Armor] did not clumsily cover his entire body but instantly concentrated its defense on his shoulders and the back of his neck.

"Thud!"

A dull impact sound rang out.

The fierce recoil made Qin Yao’s expression change slightly; she felt as if she had kicked an iron tower.

Relying on the terrifying foundation of his Second-tier Constitution, Lin Ji did not retreat a single step! 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Instead, seizing the moment when Qin Yao’s old force had just dissipated and new force had not yet been generated, he decisively counterattacked.

Not only did Lin Ji not retreat, he aggressively closed the distance.

He reached back with his hand, probing with pinpoint accuracy into that area of rolling, scorching heat.

He tightly wrapped his arm around Qin Yao’s slender, flexible waist.

The astonishing softness and elasticity transmitted through his palm made Lin Ji unable to resist giving it a firm squeeze.

He even slid his entire hand an inch further, covering her striking curves.

"You witch, your figure is truly wild."

Being taken advantage of so openly by Lin Ji, and without any ability to resist during their intense clash, Qin Yao’s charming face instantly flushed with deep shame and anger.

"You lecher, let go!"

Qin Yao shouted sharply, the dark red patterns on her body glowing brightly.

Just as she was about to unleash a stronger high-temperature fire ring to break free, Lin Ji’s Skill transitioned seamlessly, without the slightest gap.

With his free hand, he gently clenched his fist.

C-grade Ice Spear Technique, instant cast!

Lin Ji abandoned the cumbersome form of the ice spear, instead compressing the Frost Energy to its extreme, transforming it into a barely visible cluster of icy needles.

Propelled by the B-grade Astral Wind, a miniature ice storm instantly formed between the two of them!

"Whoosh—"

The icy needles, infused with Astral Wind, precisely pierced the temperature cores that had just ignited on Qin Yao’s skin.

Ice and fire clashed fiercely!

Under the precise assault of the frost storm, amplified by the sea breeze, the fire energy that had surged within Qin Yao’s body was instantly suppressed, as if doused with liquid nitrogen, forcefully interrupted and held down.

The lethal high temperature dissipated before it could fully erupt.

Stripped of her high-temperature protection, Qin Yao felt as if all her strength had been abruptly drained. Unable to maintain her balance, she collapsed weakly into Lin Ji’s embrace
