Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 45

Cai Zhaoqin, a third-grade great demon, is a formidable opponent.

Although her abilities appear similar to the “oxidative combustion” of the Sanchuan Zhu family, based on Miss Wang’s observation, they are closer to the “out-of-control explosion” of the Tianshui Qin family.

Of course, abilities and demon arts are separate matters and should not be conflated. Applying old experiences to unfamiliar phenomena often leads to significant losses.

As a demon deity, Cai Zhaoqin demonstrates both high attack power and high mobility.

Her high attack power means she can instantly raise the temperature in an area during an explosion, destroying most material-based attacks and other material-based abilities. This renders Qingqing’s metal manipulation completely ineffective against her. Additionally, the shockwaves from her explosions are also a major killing tool, having wiped out the group multiple times.

Her high mobility refers to her ability to use explosions to propel herself instantaneously and withstand damage with her demon-level physique. Whether attacking or evading, tracking her movements is extremely difficult.

Previously, during his demonized state, Cheng Jinyang could use electromagnetic waves to locate her position. This time, with everyone in combat, the task of detection and locking falls to Yang Wangshu, who then relays the information through Miss Wang’s mental link. Compared to the demonized connection state, this link has a slight signal delay, making tactical coordination more challenging.

Aside from her high attack power and mobility, another point is the vulnerability of her physical body.

According to Miss Wang’s information, when a demon lord advances to a demon god, their physical strength typically decreases.

This seems odd, as demon lords represent the pinnacle of physical strength for demons. So why would advancing to a demon god result in a reduction in physical strength?

Wang Wanrou speculates that it might be similar to the metamorphosis of insects, evolving from one state to another, thus leading to a decrease in physical strength.

In any case, as long as Xing Yuanzhi’s quicksand field is deployed, Yujing San might be able to endure, but Cai Zhaoqin will immediately be crushed.

The real problem is that if the quicksand field covers a large area indiscriminately, Cai Zhaoqin will be subdued, but the other girls will undoubtedly be killed on the spot. If the large-scale quicksand field is altered to a precise attack like the Binding Iron, it becomes very difficult to hit such a high-mobility opponent.

After several encounters, Cai Zhaoqin is aware of the girl’s big move and prioritizes trying to eliminate her first whenever she enters the scene.

Now, as the battle begins, Cai Zhaoqin suddenly erupts in flames, disappearing from her original position. At that moment, a warning from Yang Wangshu appears in everyone’s minds:

2.

To speed up information transmission, numbers 1 through 9 represent each member, with 1 being Cheng Jinyang and 2 being Xing Yuanzhi.

Xing Yuanzhi stands calmly, her mind already processing the calculations for Binding Iron and searching for a locatable target.

In previous encounters, when facing Cai Zhaoqin’s attacks, she would first apply weight reduction to herself, then use large-scale weight increase around her to force Cai Zhaoqin back.

However, in the latest strategy, Young Miss Wang instructed her not to do so.

“Isn’t there a better bait than you?” she had said.

Despite knowing she is the target, Xing Yuanzhi remains rooted, feeling extremely frustrated.

Cai Zhaoqin charges toward Xing Yuanzhi at incredible speed but is intercepted mid-course by the equally fast Li Qingwan, causing her to be knocked away.

In the air, the two engage in a flash of attacks. Essentially, Li Qingwan is on the offensive while Cai Zhaoqin defends, using close-range explosions to counter Li Qingwan’s blows, causing her limbs to be bloodied and bruised.

For an ordinary person, even knowing they can be revived in dreams, the agony from such tearing and burning would be overwhelming. Yet Li Qingwan continues her relentless assault with a smile, making Cai Zhaoqin frown.

Ultimately, a kick breaks through the explosions, sending the demon deity crashing downward.

Near the landing spot, Chu Qingqing has already deployed a metal net and is quickly reciting something.

It’s a net of metal, not blades. Cai Zhaoqin feels a chill as she falls.

From the very beginning until now, the tactics and coordination of the opponents have remained almost unchanged from the last battle, with only one significant difference.

No matter what, it is clear that this change is aimed specifically at her, so she must avoid falling into their trap.

As she was considering this, her gravity suddenly shifted, pulling her directly toward the large metal net. This further confirmed her suspicions about their tactical intentions.

An explosion of flames erupted below her, meant to halt her descent and prevent her from falling into the net.

The next moment, lightning shot out from the flames, striking the demon deity mid-air.

Yang Wangshu, who had fired the high-voltage lightning spear, was equally astonished. Given her observational skills, calculation, and reaction speed, she should not have been able to hit such a fast-moving target.

Thus, Miss Wang had previously instructed: “I don’t expect you to see the opponent’s exact position. Just focus on hitting a stationary target. When Qingqing deploys the metal net, keep your eyes on the sky. When you see the flames appear, immediately fire high-voltage electricity.”

At this moment, Cai Zhaoqin’s attempt to prevent her fall involved creating a marking explosion in mid-air, allowing Yang Wangshu to successfully hit her with the high-voltage shock.

What was even more devious was that Yang Wangshu, positioned right next to Chu Qingqing, had her view of the lightning obscured by the flames and light from the explosion. It wasn’t until the lightning pierced through the flames and struck her that the demon deity realized she had been hit.

In the next instant, mental shock and mass effect followed the lightning strike, hitting her while she was still incapacitated by the electrical shock.

The demon deity was propelled diagonally upward by the mental shock, as if struck by a baseball bat.

Despite being in intense pain, she regained control over her paralyzed body and attempted to stabilize herself with several explosions. However, these had no effect—the rapidly increasing mass made her momentum stubbornly resistant to the explosions’ force.

Finally, Lu Qingyun delivered the decisive blow. The constraint pulses lit up before her, with their timing and angles precisely following Miss Wang’s original instructions.

The first beam pierced through the demon deity’s body, slightly altering her flight direction. The second beam followed, hitting accurately, and then the third and fourth beams also struck true, with none missing.

The power and angles of the mental shock, the variables introduced by the mass effect, and the landing points of the four constraint pulses were all calculated within Miss Wang’s plan. The only minor discrepancy was corrected by Cheng Jinyang using gravitational manipulation.

In the end, Cai Zhaoqin fell to the ground, bloodied and battered. Despite her demon deity’s life force preventing her from being killed instantly by the four constraint pulses, she was left severely injured.

“You…” Her gaze wavered as it fell upon the unengaged Miss Wang and Cui Jinqi in the back, seemingly torn about something. But she ultimately gave up on pursuing it, letting out a sigh.

“You passed my test.”
