Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 230 Turtle

Chu Deng stood on Building 18, but Panda didn't rush over recklessly. Instead, between Buildings 16 and 17, he raised his hand and sliced ​​Building 17 in half. The steel bars and stones became intertwined, forming a giant stone hand that slammed down on Chu Deng.

In the shadows, Chu Deng unleashed flames from his hands, striking the ground and shooting into the sky. He then used the stone hand as a springboard to quickly approach the panda.

Seeing that Chu Deng was using his attack moves as a bridge, the panda sneered. Instantly, earth spikes rose from the ground, blocking Chu Deng's path. The flames shattered the earth spikes, but forced him to slow down.

"Don't rush, there's more." The panda whispered, its eyes gleaming.

"Rumble--"

Chu Deng was suddenly thrown into the air by the stone hand, like a shuttlecock being kicked in the air, as light as a feather. Then, the stone hand, which was supporting him, shattered into dust under the control of the panda. In order not to let Chu Deng use his superpower as a stepping stone, the panda did not give him any chance.

Unlike wind, fire has the weakest ability to stay airborne among all elements, and it also has more weaknesses in the air.

Not only that, the panda used pulverized dust to adhere to the building's steel reinforcement bars. Countless rotating steel bars spun like blades in a meat grinder, creating an impenetrable barrier that left Chu Deng no room to breathe.

Chu Deng used the force of the flames to adjust her direction and weave through the gaps in the steel bars. However, the wind generated by the rotating steel bars caused the insubstantial flames to become erratic, reducing her accuracy in controlling her direction.

"boom--"

A steel bar suddenly struck Chu Deng's leg. She frowned, then used flames to heat the steel bar until it was red-hot. She kicked the steel bar, and the flames instantly exploded, turning each of the razor-thin steel bars a deep red. Chu Deng clenched her fist.

"Fuck-"

The flames connected the steel bars into a line, and Chu Deng stepped on it as she ran towards the panda. The steel bars she stepped on kept bending and twisting behind her, forming a huge fireball. The scalding temperature continued to rise, and the steel bars gradually liquefied into molten iron, shining as brightly as the sun in the air.

"If you can use it, why can't I?" Chu Deng smiled, and a fireball mixed with molten iron rose into the air, hurtling towards the panda.

The panda retreated to Building 16. The location of Building 17 was empty, with only scattered dust remaining after he had uprooted it with his superpower.

Seeing Chu Deng's fireball hurtling towards him, the panda stood still, while the No. 16 building beneath his feet was rapidly disintegrating, constantly forming fragments that adhered to his body to create a protective layer.

One floor, two floors, three floors...

As long as I stack it thick enough, you won't burn me!

With this belief in mind, the panda immediately stacked armor on the spot. Since it couldn't run away anyway, it might as well actively max out its defense.

"He looks just like a coward hiding in a turtle!" someone in the audience laughed.

Another earth-elemental ability user objected, retorting, "If you don't cower like a turtle, how can you break through the panda's defenses?"

As the top level 4 earth-type character, Panda has a full defense and is good at long battles. He can wear down his opponent to death. Among the level 4 ability users present, the number of people who can defeat him can be counted on two hands. Otherwise, he would not have been able to win a spot in the world competition.

"Stop arguing, look!" Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, their companion immediately pulled them back, and the two who were at odds in the scene suddenly changed.

"Boom boom boom——"

The ancient bell rang three times, making everyone exclaim that they had come at the worst possible time, as they were eager to see if the lighthouse's fireball could break through the panda's defenses!

In a flash, Panda and Chu Deng returned to their actions from three minutes earlier the instant the bell tolled.

At this moment, Chu Deng had just been thrown into the air by the panda's stone hand and was completely unprepared!
