The Battle Queen They Blindly Kicked Out (Joanna) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218 Absolute Power

At Level 30, a player could learn one extra skill. But was Joanna someone who lacked skills?

She had Power Siphon, which gave her five SSS-rank talents and five SSS-rank skills.

Against these two, she might not even need Symbiotic Fusion to crush them.

Clearly, they hadn’t realized that.

George smiled and said, “Sure, then I’ll go first. Please-Sophie, you should step down. You’re a pastor. You’re not suited for fighting.”

Sophie shook her head helplessly. “You volunteered. In that case, everyone, please enjoy the match between a sophomore and a freshman.”

She stepped off the stage.

Almost immediately, a man built like a steel tower leaned in beside her. He was nearly nine feet tall, massive and intimidating.

“Sophie, weren’t you planning to let me fight? Why let George steal the spotlight?”

This towering warrior was the top sophomore, Dax Ironridge.

His combat power was extreme.

His strength stat was over 30,000.

One hit from him was often enough to kill someone.

He was also one of Sophie’s admirers.

But Sophie clearly didn’t think much of him.

Even among elites, there were big differences. Dax stood out at school, but his major was Public Dungeon Studies. He had brute strength but little strategy. At best, he’d end up guarding a public dungeon-low pay, no real influence.

George was different. He studied Apocalyptic Survival Dungeon Studies. In the future, he might even be assigned to manage an entire planet. He was flexible, clever, and had far better

prospects.

Still, both men were just followers to Sophie. She chose neither.

Why settle for them when she could get close to prodigies who were already famous at a young

1/3

age? If someone wasn’t Level 60 by age 25, she wouldn’t even glance at them.

Who had time to wait for boys to grow up?

As for why she targeted Joanna this time-it was simple. Joanna threatened her status. Being named Campus Star came with huge benefits: endorsements from private auction houses, ads for nutritional energy bars, and even modeling contracts for hoverships.

With these deals, Sophie earned tens of billions each year. She was practically an interstellar celebrity.

No dungeon runs. No monster hunting. No risk. Of course she wanted to hold onto that position.

She hadn’t expected Joanna to ignore the unspoken rules. So, suppression was the only option left.

On the arena stage, George gracefully took out his staff.

As the countdown began, both moved at once.

Joanna didn’t hold back. She activated Lash Purgatory.

In an instant, George was dragged into a mental realm. Four young men appeared around him.

They wore academy uniforms. Their faces were filled with hatred as they stared at him.

Then the whips came down hard.

“Ah-stop! I was wrong! I shouldn’t have targeted you or cut your resources!

“I was wrong! I won’t force you to bow again!

“I won’t punish you by making you clean toilets anymore-please stop!

“I’ll never sleep with your girlfriend again!”

No one died, but her past deeds were disgusting enough.

George’s soul defense wasn’t strong, but compared to someone like Perry, who hadn’t even entered the academy yet, he was far better. He was a sophomore, after all. He had endured a full year of training.

He endured an hour of whipping. When Lash Purgatory ended and he returned to the stage, George instantly realized what had happened. It had been a domain illusion.

His clothes were soaked with sweat. His head felt like it was splitting apart. He couldn’t even cast

2/3

a spell. Magic required building spell circles in the mind, some even needed chanting.

Before he could recover, Joanna’s next move was already complete. A massive Tornado rose up, lifting George straight into the air. The tornado carried him away.

If he failed to break free, it could drag him nearly a mile away.
