The Strongest Princess Consort in the Interstellar

Chapter 120 - Humanoid Weapon Xiao Qingyang

As expected, Long Jingze once again cautioned Xiao Qingyang to stay away and not get involved.

Xiao Qingyang obediently agreed while secretly moving to the other side of the earth dragon, preparing to act against it where Long Jingze couldn't see him.

With the team members in their designated positions, they launched their attack on the earth dragon.

The superhumans, except for Long Jingze, all transformed into beast forms, increasing their size and strength, making it easier to deal with the earth dragon. The mecha warriors, on the other hand, climbed into their mechs, utilizing the mechs' power to combat the earth dragon.

Xiao Qingyang stood behind the earth dragon, watching everyone in action. His hands were itching to join the fight, but he had to be patient and carefully keep an eye on Long Jingze's movements, waiting for the right moment to act where he wouldn't be noticed.

At that moment, Li Qi, a member of the team, made a careless move and found himself about to be struck hard by the earth dragon's tail. Xiao Qingyang, not thinking twice, rushed forward and grabbed the dragon's tail barehanded. With a burst of strength, he lifted the entire earth dragon and flung it aside, colliding with numerous trees and breaking them.

Long Jingze, who was preparing to rescue Li Qi, was left speechless.

Bai Mingzhe and the others were stunned.

The fans who were watching the live stream couldn't believe their eyes.

Did they see it correctly? It was their male god who flung the earth dragon away, right?

As Long Jingze caught sight of Xiao Qingyang, he was about to say something, but the earth dragon, which had been flung aside, stood up again and charged fiercely at Xiao Qingyang, seemingly seeking revenge against the human who dared to toss it around.

However, Xiao Qingyang showed no sign of panic as the earth dragon charged towards him. With a light leap, his body became incredibly agile, landing gracefully on the dragon's back. He clenched his fist and struck it fiercely.

The earth dragon roared in agony from the intense pain in its back, raising its neck high and wildly thrashing around, attempting to dislodge the human on its back.

Yet, Xiao Qingyang seemed to be firmly rooted on the dragon's back, delivering one punch after another with bare hands, fearlessly fighting the creature.

Long Jingze, who was preparing to rescue Xiao Qingyang, was at a loss. Bai Mingzhe and others, witnessing the scene, were left in disbelief.

The viewers of the live stream collectively wore expressions of astonishment, all sharing the same reaction: wide-eyed and slack-jawed, some even unconsciously swallowing hard.

"Um... so fierce! Why do I feel like I'm the one getting hurt, even though I'm just watching a live stream?"

"Same here."

"Agreed. Suddenly, I feel pain all over my body and even on my face."

"Add me to the list. I'm seriously feeling the pain, too."

"Wait, isn't Xiao Qingyang a pharmacist? Why...?"

"Whoever said Xiao Qingyang was a burden and only dragged the team down, do you feel the pain now?"

At this moment, the viewers watching Xiao Qingyang relentlessly pummel the earth dragon held their bodies tightly. Especially those who had previously criticized Xiao Qingyang were now feeling pain all over, as if they were the ones being hit by those fists.

"How could he be dragging down our idol? He's like a humanoid weapon!"

"This is the first time I've seen someone besides our idol take on an earth dragon barehanded."

"Just as the saying goes, 'birds of a feather flock together.'"

From that moment on, no one dared to criticize Xiao Qingyang for being a burden in the live chat. His scene of single-handedly fighting the earth dragon was deeply ingrained in everyone's minds.

Especially for those who were present on-site, like Bai Mingzhe, their level of shock was unparalleled.

When the earth dragon finally stopped moving, Xiao Qingyang stopped his attacks. He then noticed the astonished expressions on his teammates' faces, and he couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He had gone so long without such a satisfying fight that he forgot there were teammates around. He had given the earth dragon a good beating, and only after stopping did he realize that he might have gone a bit overboard.

Even in his previous life, where physical training was emphasized, even those with the Dwarven bloodline couldn't compare to him. Seeing him fight a spiritual beast barehanded would still astonish people, let alone those here.

Here, he was just a pharmacist with a seemingly weak physique, suddenly displaying incredible strength. He couldn't help but feel strange. These people... they shouldn't suspect anything, right?

Xiao Qingyang suddenly felt a little guilty and regretful.

"Amazing, little sister-in-law! How did you do that?" Bai Mingzhe's eyes sparkled as he gathered around Xiao Qingyang, exclaiming in amazement.

"Little sister-in-law, were you intentionally hiding your true strength before?" Bai Mingzhe continued to chatter, which surprisingly helped ease Xiao Qingyang's unease.

The others didn't suspect anything either. Even if they had some doubts, with Long Jingze present, no one would dare to voice them directly.

Of course, relying on Xiao Qingyang's personal abilities alone, they wouldn't dare to confront him face-to-face. After all, the fate of the earth dragon was still fresh in their minds, and they cherished their lives.

Xiao Qingyang felt a bit embarrassed by Bai Mingzhe's compliments and scratched his head. "Actually, it's nothing special. I just took a strengthening pill that enhanced my physique."

Regarding the pills, Xiao Qingyang didn't plan to hide anything. After all, the existence of pills in the secret realm was not a secret, and most students at the Royal Military Academy knew about it. Therefore, the existence of pills was not something shocking or beyond the norms of society.

Moreover, Xiao Qingyang intended to focus more on pill refining rather than making potions in the future. So, he couldn't keep the existence of pills a secret forever, especially since he wanted to earn more money with pills.

"Strengthening pills?" Bai Mingzhe's eyes widened even more as he asked, "Did you obtain them from the Secret Realm?"

"Yes." Xiao Qingyang nodded and took out a bottle of strengthening pills from the space button, distributing them to everyone present.

Everyone held the small pills in their hands as if they were precious treasures, not daring to move.

"Little sister-in-law, this is too precious, we can't accept it." Bai Mingzhe's eyes were burning as he looked at the strengthening pill. Though he said they couldn't accept it, his expression showed his reluctance.

"These pills are my attempt at refining strengthening pills based on what I learned in the secret realm. They may not be as high in grade as the ones from the secret realm, and the enhancement to the physique is also limited," Xiao Qingyang explained.

"Little sister-in-law refined them?" This revelation left everyone even more surprised.

To know that the Empire and the Federation had researched for hundreds of years without finding a way to refine pills, and that pills could only be obtained through the secret realm. However, the pills inside were limited, and one day they would be depleted. If they still couldn't refine pills by then, the world would be left without pills.

But now they heard something extraordinary.

Did their little sister-in-law say that he could refine pills? And he even gave each of them one?

At this point, the gazes of the people towards the pills in their hands became even more complicated, and they simultaneously glanced at the live broadcast bug.

If the pharmacist masters outside knew that their little sister-in-law could refine pills, they would definitely go mad with excitement. At that time, Xiao Qingyang wouldn't have a peaceful day.

They regretted their previous excitement. If they hadn't been so eager, Xiao Qingyang wouldn't have taken out the strengthening pills publicly. Bai Mingzhe and the others felt deeply guilty.

"Hmph!" A cold hum came from Long Jingze's mouth, causing Bai Mingzhe and the others to immediately push their guilt aside.

How could they forget? Xiao Qingyang was different now. He was the lover of their big boss, the future Crown Princess of the Empire. Who would dare to provoke the Crown Princess?

So... they can keep the strengthening pills, right? Bai Mingzhe's eyes were filled with eager anticipation as he looked at their leader. He had quietly taken back the strengthening pill in his hand, ready to put it back into the space button, as if they wouldn't give it up even if their leader disagreed.

"Have some dignity!" Long Jingze scolded unhappily, but he didn't ask them to hand over the strengthening pills.

Bai Mingzhe and the others didn't care about their leader's scolding. They quickly put the strengthening pills into their space buttons and planned to take them after the competition ended, so as to avoid being coveted by others.

Due to the interruption caused by the strengthening pills, everyone's attention shifted away from Xiao Qingyang suddenly gaining immense strength. Moreover, they were still in the middle of the competition, where danger lurked at every moment. So, they had no extra mental capacity to focus on other matters.

However, this incident caused a huge sensation on the StarNet, even bigger than when Xiao Qingyang revealed the strengthening pills.

Alchemy and abilities were better known and circulated among alchemists (pharmacists) and ability users, while ordinary people had little knowledge about pills. As the Empire and Federation had a larger population of ordinary people, and the majority of netizens on the StarNet were also ordinary people, discussions about pills were not as prominent as the shock caused by Xiao Qingyang's bare-handed fight against the Earth Dragon.

Nonetheless, whether it was Xiao Qingyang's bare-handed fight against the Earth Dragon or his ability to refine strengthening pills, these sensations had no significant impact on Xiao Qingyang, Long Jingze, and the others. They remained focused on the competition.

By the fourth week of the inter-school competition, more than half of the participating teams had been eliminated, leaving mostly strong teams, but they were still far behind Long Jingze and An Muyao's team in terms of performance.

At this point, an interesting scenario emerged. Both the Empire and Federation teams were desperately trying to locate Long Jingze and An Muyao's teams, the two champion seed teams.

For example, if an Empire team encountered Long Jingze's team, they would immediately surrender and offer their points without hesitation.

If they encountered other Federation teams, they would engage in a fierce battle.

However, if they had the misfortune of encountering An Muyao's team, they would quickly forfeit the match, leave the planet with their points, and would never give up their points without a fight, even if they were eliminated.
