Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 37

If we strictly adhere to the ranking system, Miss Yujing’s strength is already at the limit of the fourth rank. Previously, when everyone was still at the fourth rank, they couldn’t even defeat Yujing, let alone the third-rank demon god. It seems nearly impossible to defeat such a foe now.

However, as Yang Wangshu mentioned, if the purpose of this Wujiang Town is to filter out those with sufficient combat abilities, it’s unlikely that all participants would be turned away. Setting “defeating a demon god” as the pass criterion for fifth-grade demons is indeed far-fetched.

Cheng Jinyang quickly retreated, using metal to form a mechanical hand to grab at the demon god. The demon’s feet ignited with flames and it vanished from its original position. Cheng Jinyang saw clearly that the demon used the flames for teleportation.

Cheng Jinyang quickly scanned the area, building up high-pressure electricity, and launched a widespread attack towards the rear. Indeed, from the changes in the electric field, the demon had appeared at his 5 o’clock position and was struck by the high-pressure electricity!

Rapidly forming a metal platform to stand on, Cheng Jinyang spun and, while stepping up, used psychic shock to bombard the metal surface from the front. This was an optimized version of psychic shock: by using metal to cushion and employing mass effects to reduce his own weight, he could safely increase his acceleration.

Approaching the demon at incredible speed, Cheng Jinyang followed Miss Wang’s instructions in his mind and used mass increase to press the demon down with a thousand-fold gravity shield. Dozens of flying swords simultaneously gathered in the air, creating a vacuum hole to absorb the target and shoot the surrounding swords, creating a formidable spectacle.

“That’s enough.” The demon, bearing the thousand-fold gravity, staggered to its feet and said. The surrounding flying swords, not yet reaching her, melted into molten metal in the high temperature.

“You passed the test,” the demon god said, standing up and snapping her fingers to open a light gate. Cheng Jinyang was puzzled.

“So the test’s content was…” he asked uncertainly.

“Whether by ambush or any other trick, as long as you can make me briefly caught off guard,” the demon answered. “Walk through the light gate, and your target will be randomly assigned. It could even be a greater demon. So, if you don’t have effective means to counter a demon god, I can’t let you pass.”

“Is that so?” Cheng Jinyang said, testing the waters, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome,” the demon replied.

Cheng Jinyang: ………

Demon God: ………

“Hurry and get information from her!” Wang Wanrou urged, “Ask her who she is!”

“Are you not going through the light gate?” The demon raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Uh.” Cheng Jinyang could only steel himself and lie, “It’s rare to encounter a demon god; I want to learn more about… well, about you.”

“Me? I don’t have much to say.” The demon gave what sounded like a cold laugh, “I’m a deceased demon god. Since the resurrection queue takes too long, I’m just passing time here in this ghost gate.”

“Really?” Cheng Jinyang dragged on purpose, “May I ask how you are addressed, senior?”

“After death, even the star rank is gone.” The demon paused for a moment, “Call me Cai Zhaoqin.”

Whether this name was real or fake was uncertain, but since she provided her name, it suggested a willingness for communication. Cheng Jinyang, regaining his spirits, was about to ask more questions when Cai Zhaoqin urged:

“The light gate is about to close, are you going in or not?”

“I’m going, I’m going.” Cheng Jinyang pointed to the back, “I still have some companions…”

“No,” Cai Zhaoqin refused. “Only those who have challenged me directly and earned my approval can pass through this light gate.”

“Alright,” Cheng Jinyang said helplessly. He briefly discussed with the girls in his mind and then entered the light gate alone.

In the safe house, Wang Wanrou stood up and asked Yujing San:

“Let’s go down and talk to her.”

“Go down?” Yujing San immediately displayed a look of alarm. “Do you know who that demon god is? I have a bad feeling about this.”

“No matter who it is, according to the rules here, she won’t attack anyone other than the challengers,” Wang Wanrou said.

“How do you know…” Yujing San still seemed doubtful.

“She mentioned it just now,” Wang Wanrou said, somewhat resigned.

………………

Upon passing through the light gate, Cheng Jinyang found himself in an unfamiliar place.

It appeared to be a large city, but it was not the ruins of Songjiang. The architectural style and urban greenery were somewhat different.

Looking at the street signs around him, he couldn’t identify the city… Hmm?

He suddenly sensed something was off. First, he used gravitational manipulation to fly up the wall, then activated electromagnetic wave detection.

It turned out that what seemed like an empty street was actually teeming with ghosts. These demons, capable of optical invisibility, were long forgotten in his experience. He remembered that such demons had a bloodline enhancement value of about one “Ma.”

With that thought, Cheng Jinyang felt a surge of excitement.

If he stayed here and took down a hundred thousand of them, he could easily reach the fourth grade in no time!

“Stop being foolish,” Miss Wang’s voice echoed in his mind. “Quickly eliminate the target and come back!”

Considering the girls were still at Wujiang Town, Cheng Jinyang didn’t want to hog all the rewards himself. He expanded his fifth-grade electromagnetic wave detection to quickly locate the target.

The light gate’s teleportation position was not far from the target, only about two streets away. The target seemed to be in the center of a nearby open square, slaughtering the surrounding ghosts.

From the combat style, it was definitely a Maro (Demon lord). Judging by speed and strength, it was far weaker than Yujing San’s flat-chested monster, so it was probably around the fifth grade.

Cheng Jinyang decided to gather a large amount of surrounding metal and ascend to a high altitude to snipe the demon busy with extermination.

After all, the enemy was visible and he was hidden, so a righteous ambush was certainly in order.

Reaching an altitude of nearly a kilometer, Cheng Jinyang looked down at the target, which appeared as just a small dot. He locked onto the position with electromagnetic waves, then condensed the surrounding metal into countless flying swords, adjusting the mass increase to its maximum.

Gravity Manipulation: Triple String!

With a nearly thousand-meter acceleration distance, the flying swords were pulled to speeds exceeding one hundred meters per second. Coupled with mass effect enhancement, their kinetic energy reached an extremely terrifying level.

A vast cloud of dust rose into the sky, and within the range of electromagnetic wave detection, the target had lost its ability to move.

Cheng Jinyang cautiously descended and saw that the entire square was now filled with flying swords. Both the ghosts and the demon lord that was killing them had fallen to the ground.

Around the dense array of swords, there was almost a tangible blood qi surrounding the demon’s corpse. Cheng Jinyang approached and absorbed all of it.

Hmm, how much did he absorb?

Definitely more than a few hundred Ma. He’d show it to Miss Wang when he returned.

As he turned around, he saw the light gate had reappeared.
