Chapter 3687 Two More Sizes


    "This isn''t good…"


    "Yes.I''m beginning to notice as time passes, the number of spheres in our surroundingsbegins to increase…"


    "At this rate, we''d all explode and fail…"


    Isabe, Frostrose, and merosemented. Their expressions did not look good.


    Isabetook a stepback and watched a sapphire soul sphere shoot past her head. It was almost as though it was targeting them, but she once again confirmed their movements werejustrandom but fast.


    "Careful. If we get hit, it might invoke a chain reaction on us…"Frostrose warned, her expression solemn.


    "The smaller spheres aren''t a problem. Their crimson clouds don''t extend past one meter in diameter. But on the other hand, the fist-sized one extends up to five meters in diameter while the big one extends up to ten meters." n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Isabe shared her findings. Frostrose also nodded, "That''s true. However, the smaller spheres are way greater in number, so don''t underestimate them. The chances of getting hit by the smaller spheres are way higher thangetting hitby the other two spheres."


    "Right."


    Isabe agreed.


    She was about to move to that unlucky person and investigate how he subdued a ruby martial sphere which she was the most obsessed with right now as it denied her victory when suddenly a man appeared beside him and sankaicy de right into his forehead.


    "…"


    Isabe didn''t know what to say.


    She saw that the owner of the icy de''s expression turned unsightly. Heactuallyturned to look at her as though ming her for not announcing such a penalty.


    Isabe smirked and shrugged with her hands raised and spread, causing veins to appear on his forehead.


    However, he didn''t dare approach her and slipped away.


    Frostrose could only shake her head.Thenumber of Candidates participating in the Fourth Hidden Pagodahasdecreased to thirtyas far as she could tellbut that ice cultivator sure did suffer a big penalty simr to Isabe, having lost half the energy in all three cultivation systems.


    Thiswas a big blow to defending oneself against others and the spheres.


    "Isabe, why don''t you try subduing the sapphirespheresand white spheres? We''ll teach you."


    "Thanks~"Isabe turned to look at them, "But I refuse to back down from a challenge. If I fail, I''ll leave it to you guys to win for us- oh, I guess you two would be inclined to take these rewards back to the Aurame n or use them on yourselves. Rest assured, I don''t have a problem. I won''t plunder it from you two if you were to win since you healed me many times, and even if you didn''t, I wouldn''t dare offend Shirley~ Aha~"


    She made her thoughts clear to them and left, leaving merose and Frostrose a mess in their heads.


    They couldn''treallytell where they belonged.


    The Aurame n was their home but in truth, they were sacrificed despite being geniuses even in terms of magical beasts. They were also not opposed tosacrificethemselves for the n as it was considered a heroic feat full of glory. On the other hand, they were treated nicely in an Anarchic Divergent''shome,felt happiness and sadness.


    Of course, they had also been biased against an Anarchic Divergent, thinking they were evil but afterhaving spentso much time with Shirley and her family, they were forced to rethink their biases.


    They saw no evil.


    Should they stay with Shirley, who took care of them with respect, or return to the Aurame n? However, if they returned alive, there was a good yet horrible chance that they would be branded traitors, even more so since they had apanied an Anarchic Divergent.


    It was all a mess in their heads. They couldn''t make abaddecision, especially after they have another chance at life.


    Nheless, there was no time to mull over this issue. They quickly returned to subduing the spheres.


    The Candidates felt pressed for time despite there being no limit for the same reasons Frostrose derived as well as knowingthatthat each chance they used up trying to subdue a sphere cost themaquite a bit of energy and their health.


    They rarely hadthe time to be worriedabout other Candidates other than spying on them to learn more about the newly emerged fist-sized and head-sized spheres.


    Isabe walked away from the Phoenix twins and looked around.


    Many spheres were swarming around her. She was thinking about how to go about it when her eyes spotted a head-sized ruby sphere going away from the group.


    Isabe narrowed her eyes, noticingthat it had gone out ofits explosion zone.


    No ruby spheres were present within ten meters of its range, which made it so that she wouldn''t receive any consecutive damage from other ruby spheres.


    ''It''s all or nothing…''


    Isabe exhaled a deep sigh as she clenched her fist.


    Since she couldn''t take down the pigeon egg-sized spheres even after so many tries, she decided to test her luck on thebiggestruby sphere.It was slow, as though it didn''t have a care in the world, allowing Isabe to be near it and stand beside it without letting it escape.


    Her actions suddenly caught Frostrose''s attention, and merose became worried about her.


    However, Isabe was a cultivator. They couldn''t discourage her when she stood before a challenge, even though it didn''t seem like a bright idea. merose and Frostrose looked at each other, readying to heal Isabe. If Isabe failed this, they guessed her blood essence would be down to around seventy percent, and all four of her limbs might explode, leaving only her head and torso.


    Abruptly, their eyes widened.


    "Wait- she''s using her full power!?"Frostrose became shocked.


    "Stop!"


    merose also shouted.Thiswasclearlysuicide.


    However, Isabe acted like she didn''t listen.


    She pulled back her arm, brownish-golden immortal martial energy covering her fist and her entire right arm. Afterpullingher fist backall the way, she pounced and unleashed a terrifying punch at the head-sized ruby sphere with a mountainous momentum.


    *Bang!~*


    Her fist made contact with the head-sized sphere.


    But despite her overwhelming power, the head-sized ruby sphere didn''t move one inch.


    "…!"


    This made Isabe''s eyes widen but a smile overcame her lips as she became confident inher own self.


    "There''s no one whocould beat me in pure force except my Emperor!"


    She yelled out with extreme conviction as veins erupted all over her forehead. Her fist roared at the sphere as a dragon head manifestation enveloped it within its razor-sharp fangs, causing it to shudder.


    This almost made Frostrose and merose jump as they saw it could expand and explode. However, the ruby sphere canceled out the force and droppeddownto the grass, rolling on the ground like an ordinary crimson ball childrenuseto y with.


    "S-She subdued it…"


    "Unbelievable…"


    merose and Frostrose''s lips parted.They looked dumbfounded as they saw Isabe reach out her hand and pick the head-sized ruby sphereandlooked at it with pride oozingout ofher gaze.


    ''I thought so… my theory was right. The pigeon-egg-sized spheres require tranquil force. The head-sized spheres require absolute force, which leaves the fist-sized spheres possibly requiring optimal force…''


    Isabe''s lips curled like that of a cat''s.


    She had beenquitedown that her fist didn''t work on a martial sphere, but now that she confirmed that her absolute force was undefeated, she overflowed with confidence.


    "Frostrose, do you know what this is?"Isabe turned to look at them and asked.


    Frostrose and merose came near. The former opened her mouth.


    "A head-sized ruby martial sphere…?"


    "No, it''s called a nuclear bomb~"


    Isabe grinned before she took off somewhere with thebigruby sphere in her hand.


    The twin phoenixes watched her dash towards a direction, and at the end was a man who flinched and turned around to escape.


    "Die, Girias!"


    Isabe quickly caught up as she used her Earth Dragon''s Overlord Rush.Her legs were encased in ayer of brownish-golden immortal martial energy, allowing her to cross a certain distancein a short amount of timewith thegreatestspeed she could muster.


    "…!"


    Girias''s scalp turned numb.


    He was lyingawaitat a safe distancein orderto take advantage of Isabe''s failure but she instead passed. Just as he wondered if the trick was overwhelm the bigger spheres, she abruptly chased after him.


    He was one step toote even as he tried to cast an escape technique.


    Isabe''s eyes were focused. Her fingers almost sank into the head-sized ruby sphere as she pushed it ahead with her palm.


    Abigruby sphere smashed into Girias'' back, causing his eyes to turn bloodshot, "Fuck!"


    *BOOOM!~*


    Theten meterdiameter from the point of contact was instantly covered in a crimson gas cloud. Subsequently, all four of Girias'' limbsof hadexploded into a meat paste as though crushed and burst into a fountain of blood.


    "Aaaghh!"


    He screamed out in pain but, more importantly, humiliation as Isabe stepped on his head and nted his face on the bloody grass. She kept him suppressed, dragging his face through the dirt as she slid down the slope.
