Chapter 263: Excitement

Translator: TYZEditor: CakeHermit

Boom!

A huge shock wave swept across the entire battlefield like a hurricane, covering up the other noises. Dazzling radiance erupted from the surface of the heavy shield and engulfed the battlefield, distorting the air space and blinding everyone’s vision.

The radiance dispersed while the sound of the collision still lingered in the air.

The thick and solid shield could once again be seen.

A deep indentation marred the shield’s surface and the soil around it had disappeared. An astonishing, three-meter-deep trench had appeared beside the heavy shield.

”Huff… Puff…”

Heavy panting could be heard from behind the heavy shield. Fatty’s body was trembling while his muscles twitched involuntarily. Dark red blood oozed out of his nose and mouth.

Fatty was still propping his shoulder against the heavy shield. His eyes were fixated on the ploughed soil beneath his feet.

His gaze was very weird. Even though it appeared dazed, it also contained zeal, incredulity, and excitement!

Did he actually… block the attack?

He really did block it...

How did he do it?

Fatty gathered his thoughts. His fear disappeared and was replaced by confidence and excitement. It was as if he was being imbued with some kind of power; even his body had stopped trembling.

For the first time in his life, Fatty felt that he was powerful.

His gaze was resolute as he stood in front of Ai Hui, protecting him. In his memories, Ai Hui was always the one fighting ahead, holding back the enemies. Hiding behind Ai Hui during a fight had become Fatty’s habit.

It was not easy for him to step up to the challenge. He did not know whether or not Ai Hui would waive off his debt.

Fatty spat out the blood in his mouth and restabilized the heavy shield in front of him.

The blood elementalist who’d attacked him also had bloodstains around his nose and mouth. His condition was no better than Fatty’s. His gaze became abnormally vicious, staring at Fatty as if he wanted to devour him.

In the past, if Fatty was to face such a sinister and vicious gaze, he would tremble in fear. This time around, however, he did not feel at all scared. He loosened his wrists and straightened his body, then, all of a sudden, he made a beckoning sign to the blood elementalist, taunting him to attack.

Upon seeing what Fatty was doing, everyone was at a loss, especially the members of the A-1 unit. They were dumbstruck. Was this really Fatty?

After making the gesture, Fatty suddenly felt weak. Was he crazy? Or was he trying to provoke the opponent?

Smack! A sharp and crisp sound made everyone’s face turn blank.

Fatty had given himself a tight slap to the face. The slap was unusually loud and clear.

What was this fellow doing?

Fatty’s previous two actions had baffled everyone. Even the blood elementalist in front of him was at a loss. After his beastification, his intelligence had dropped significantly, causing him to be unable to understand why Fatty would taunt him and then give himself a slap immediately after.

Could it be a pre-ritual to some kind of powerful move?

The blood elementalist was in a daze, but very soon, the vicious and blood-thirsty look returned to his eyes.

With a roar, he pounced towards Fatty again.

Fatty quickly withdrew behind the heavy shield. Just as the blood elementalist was about to collide against the heavy shield, an evil smile flashed across his eyes. The supposedly powerful and heavy collision became a light one instead. He rested his palms gently on the surface of the shield and prepared to use the strength from the charge to propel himself around the shield.

However, he never expected the wall-like heavy shield to spin around all of a sudden.

[Spinning Carapax Shield]!

A sturdy and spinning shield-type inheritance appeared in Fatty’s hands. Everyone’s impression of Fatty was that of a cowardly, lazy, and sly individual. Even though he was quite useful at times, there wasn’t much about him that was attractive.

Very few people knew that Fatty’s training intensity was among the top three in the A-1 unit.

Even Fatty himself did not know it.

Since the day Ai Hui met Fatty, the former had been designing high intensity training plans for the latter. These training plans were even forced onto Fatty. With Lou Lan supervising his training, Fatty had no way out. Initially, Fatty had resorted to tricks to evade the training, but Ai Hui’s strict punishments had prevented him from continuing to do so.

After Fatty started to drink elemental soups, Ai Hui noticed his potential and silently increased the intensity of his training.

Fatty, who did not know what was going on, could only clench his teeth and endure.

Everyone liked seeing Fatty clench his teeth, but not without Lou Lan by his side supervising him and when he was enduring through his trainings. Usually, Fatty was a fun-loving and covetous fellow. He was always filled with an unusual happiness.

No one had noticed Fatty’s training intensity. Everyone only heard Ai Hui emotionlessly meting out punishments on him and laughed it off. Everyone seemed to ignore the fact that Fatty had endured hundreds of sets of punishments that were meted out at the slightest pretext.

The blood elementalist lost his balance, looking as if he had stepped on a patch of slippery moss. Thump. His face smashed squarely onto the surface of the shield and his body spun along with the spinning shield.

Fatty felt something smash into his shield. Following the instructions in the manual of the [Spinning Carapax Shield], he lifted the shield up and used the centripetal force from the spinning shield to slam it heavily onto the ground!

He had practised this move for an unknown number of times.
