Chapter 198: Useless
🕑 Added 2024-10-09 05:31:45 +0000 UTCQin Zi found himself dazed as he soared through the air.
What was happening?
He had just arrived and was already being sent to battle?
However, based on the words of the "slipper-face" uncle, Qin Zi quickly pieced together what was going on. It seemed that Purple Cloud Academy was in trouble, and they needed someone to solve the problem. If he succeeded, he would be promoted to a direct disciple—a rare opportunity for advancement.
“Whoosh!”
As Qin Zi processed everything, he had already flown over the battleground, tracing a smooth arc before landing steadily on the ground.
"Whoa! Who is that?"
"Is he crazy? Going up there in this situation? Does he not fear being killed by that bird beast?"
"Could he be a hidden genius? But… he doesn't look familiar at all."
"And his clothes—he doesn’t seem to be from Purple Cloud Academy."
The surrounding disciples of Purple Cloud Academy buzzed with speculation.
At that moment, Eagle Kong also noticed Qin Zi.
Seeing that Qin Zi wasn’t dressed in the academy's signature Purple Cloud robes, he frowned and said, "It seems you’re not a disciple of Purple Cloud Academy."
"I just joined. Some ugly uncle said if I beat you, I'd be made a direct disciple," Qin Zi responded honestly.
"Hah! Beat me? What makes you think you can win?"
Eagle Kong's eyes gleamed sharply, and he sneered, "The human race is truly laughable. Just for a bit of fame, you would throw your life away. Utterly foolish!"
"I haven’t killed anyone yet today, so let’s start with you. Remember this: in your next life, don’t be so reckless!"
With those words, he extended his right hand toward Qin Zi, summoning a brilliant golden light that spread from his fingers, forming an incredibly sharp golden eagle claw. It swooped down toward Qin Zi with the terrifying power of the Law of Metal, seemingly capable of tearing the earth apart.
"Break!"
Standing firmly on the battleground, Qin Zi thrust his fist into the sky. A pillar of green light shot upward, like the sprouting of fresh grass breaking through the ground, piercing right through the golden eagle claw.
"Wood elemental law!"
"And such powerful control over it! Metal overcomes wood, yet his wood element can go head-to-head with the metal element!"
"Incredible!"
The crowd gasped in astonishment, their excitement building.
Eagle Kong was equally shocked. He possessed the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Roc, and his mastery of the Law of Metal surpassed most. Yet, this person had used the Law of Wood to counter his attack?
“Entangle.”
Without hesitation, Qin Zi waved his right hand, and the green light transformed into a massive vine, resembling a dragon, that surged toward Eagle Kong.
"Sky-Splitting Slash!"
Eagle Kong spun his body, and hundreds of golden light feathers appeared behind him, slashing toward the vine like razor-sharp blades.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Explosions echoed through the air as massive sections of the green vine were shredded into pieces. At the same time, Eagle Kong turned into a streak of gold, spiraling down toward Qin Zi like a comet.
“Buzz!”
His right hand morphed into a deadly eagle claw, bathed in molten gold, gleaming with a metallic luster as it aimed straight for Qin Zi’s heart.
"Not a chance."
Qin Zi sneered. His right hand clenched into a fist, blazing like the sun, and he punched toward the golden claw.
"Clang!"
A deep metallic sound echoed, and sparks flew as Eagle Kong’s body was blasted backward like a cannonball, hurtling into the sky.
“Falcon Reversal!”
However, in mid-air, Eagle Kong's wings flapped violently, allowing him to twist his body in an eerie trajectory, instantly reversing direction and diving back toward Qin Zi’s heart.
"Oh no!"
"Watch out!!"
The crowd screamed in panic.
Eagle Kong wore a cruel smile—his Falcon Reversal was designed to catch opponents off guard in close quarters, often leaving them with no time to react. By the time they realized it, they were already dead.
His sharp claws closed in on Qin Zi’s chest, drawing nearer and nearer…
"Smack!"
But in the next moment, a fiery hand caught his wrist, clamping down on him like a vice.
"Impossible!"
Eagle Kong's pupils shrank in horror. He tried to pull away, but an overwhelming force, like that of a primordial beast, surged through his wrist. And then… the world spun.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Qin Zi swung Eagle Kong like a ragdoll, slamming him repeatedly into the ground. The deafening impacts reverberated through the square, shaking it violently. Even the indestructible floor cracked under the force, scattering debris.
"Hiss!!!"
"What… what’s happening?"
"That’s… that’s insane!"
The disciples of Purple Cloud Academy sucked in cold breaths. Though they weren't important figures, at least they still had the right to gasp in awe.
Deep within Purple Cloud Academy, the elders who had been watching were equally stunned. One by one, their eyes lit up.
"Hahaha, well done!"
"Smash him, smash him hard!"
"Good job! Just like I used to do in my younger days."
The elders cheered with a sense of vindication, finally able to raise their heads high.
Some even glanced over at the Eagle Loss elder from the demon clan, grinning mischievously.
"Well, well, looks like you’re about to lose."
"Hmph, not necessarily!"
Eagle Loss snorted. He knew Eagle Kong’s true strength—there was no way he could lose so easily.
And indeed, in the next moment, Eagle Kong, who had been repeatedly slammed into the ground, suddenly flew backward.
"Whoosh!"
He had severed his own claw to escape. As he flew, golden blood trailed behind him like a shimmering ribbon across the sky.
"Using blood as a medium—Golden Catastrophe!"
Eagle Kong roared, and a brilliant light erupted from the center of his brow.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
The golden blood exploded, releasing terrifying golden lightning that enveloped Qin Zi. A massive sphere of destructive energy, over a hundred meters wide, formed, pulsating with lethal force.
"To make me bleed so much, your death will not be in vain,"
Eagle Kong sneered, hovering in the air. His severed claw had already begun to regenerate.
"Break!"
Suddenly, an enraged roar echoed, primal and full of raw power.
"Rip!"
In the next instant, the massive golden sphere of lightning split in two, revealing Qin Zi inside.
His clothes were in tatters, hanging off him like rags. His body had swollen to nearly twice its normal size, his frame now burly and imposing. His hair had turned a deep purple, and mysterious markings spread across his skin—he looked like a young demon god.
The Ancestral Body Refining Scripture!
"A demon?!"
Eagle Kong instinctively cried out, momentarily forgetting that he himself was a demon beast.
"Entangle!"
Qin Zi raised his right hand, as if lifting a green sun. From this green sun, countless vines sprouted, growing rapidly and covering the sky, wrapping around Eagle Kong.
"Not good! I have to escape!"
Panic seized Eagle Kong, and without hesitation, he turned to flee beyond Purple Cloud Academy.
But the vines were too fast, like green dragons that quickly blocked his path.
"Break through!!"
Eagle Kong roared, unleashing a golden blast that tore through the vines with an earth-shattering explosion.
However, before he could escape, a towering figure appeared before him. Two strong hands reached out, grabbing his talons as if he were a helpless chicken.
"Ahhh!!!"
Eagle Kong screamed as his eyes turned into sharp eagle eyes, and his body rapidly grew larger, sprouting feathers.
In an instant, he transformed into a massive black roc, his wingspan stretching over two hundred meters!
"It’s still not enough. Bigger doesn’t mean stronger,"
Qin Zi sneered, summoning two enormous golden hands that gripped the giant roc’s legs. With a mighty heave, he pulled in opposite directions.
"No—"
"Rip!"
A heart-wrenching scream pierced the air as feathers scattered, and golden blood rained down like a downpour.
At that moment, the entire arena fell silent.
After a long pause, the crowd finally regained their senses. Still, no one cheered or shouted in excitement. Instead, they exchanged uneasy glances.
"Is… is he dead?"
"It seems so."
"Really dead?"
"Yes."
"Understood."
After confirming the situation, many quietly turned to leave.
They knew that when someone died, someone else would inevitably be heartbroken. Celebrating at this moment might only invite trouble. Best to leave before things got messy.
