Chapter 14: Beast Battling Exam in chaos (2/2)
“What’s that?”
“How can they be suddenly so fast!”
Ayrin stared. He noticed that the movements of Hawthorne and the other three students had become multiple times faster the moment these bright particles had appeared. Their silhouettes were fast like the wind, dodging to the four sides, so fast he had a little trouble clearly distinguishing them.
“Those are the “primordial arcane particles” they condensed.”
Belo squeezed his own fingers, making cracking sounds. He said, “I told you before there’s nothing exceptional about using a little arcane power. You can only be considered strong if you can compact primordial arcane particles.”
Belo added, “But someone who can compact primordial arcane particles is a waste if he only knows how to act cool.”
Ayrin suddenly sensed a dangerous aura, because Belo’s first few sentences started calm, but Ayrin could feel that Belo had once again become feverish and excited with his last sentence.
Roar!
A tremendous roar suddenly came from the sprinting Ximos.
Hawthorne and the others were a little faster than it at first, but a strength even mightier and more tyrannical seemed to surge from its body along with this angry roar. Its huge body seemed to smash down beside Hawthorne and the others in a single flash.
“Ah!”
Hawthorne just happened to be the one closest to the Ximos. He screeched in terror, forced his body to turn around in the middle of his retreat, sent a kick at the Ximos’ arm that was sweeping over his way.
The magenta arcane particles frantically billowed on his feet. A cloud of arcane power gathered at top speed, shaping into a flaming lotus flower below him, with his feet as the center.
“It’s Blazing Lotus!”
“Pa!”
Some people started shouting in the stands, but this flaming lotus much bigger than Hawthorne’s body was instantly broken to pieces by a single slap from the Ximos.
Hawthorne screamed miserably, his body sent flying out by the slap. He truly became pasted on the walls surrounding the field.
The whole field was startled!
Teacher Rui was previously calmly standing on the edge of the field, but now his expression suddenly changed. His body immediately vanished, blowing up a gust of raging wind. He then reappeared in the air on top of the Ximos’ head within a single breath or two, a whirlwind blowing in his wake.
The two teachers standing at the forefront of the stands also both shouted in disbelief. The female teacher Ciaran wrapped in a red scarf immediately transformed into a flame in the air and dropped beside where Hawthorne had fallen.
The minds of these three elite teachers were all filled with shock and incomprehension.
The Ximos’ strength was indeed extremely astonishing, but medical masters had already done all they could to reduce its strength before the start of the Beast Battling Exam. It could pose a sufficient threat for these senior students, but it couldn’t have exploded with such an overwhelming strength to directly send Hawthorn flying with a single slap of its palm.
“Haha!”
There was only Belo who roared with excited laughter when he saw Hawthorne slapped on the wall. “So fun! Trash!”
Ayrin couldn’t resist refrain from asking in a quiet voice, “What damned thing did you do?”
“Boom!”
Teacher Rui fired out a punch downward at this moment, his body still in the air.
His entire arm was wrapped in glaring magenta arcane particles. Countless blue streams of air actually shaped into a huge whirlwind wheel in front of him the moment he struck his punch down.
With an explosive sound, the four arms of the Ximos that were smashing his way were all struck away. There were even many broken scales splashing away from its arms.
“Tap!”
After beating away the Ximos’ four arms with a punch, teacher Rui’s left palm pressed down ferociously atop the Ximos’s head.
The Ximos seemed to be struck dead by lightning. Pa! Its body directly staggered backward and tumbled away.
“Huh huh huh huh!”
However, the Ximos made a series of roars the moment it landed on the ground. Its body swelled outward like a balloon. The strength in every particle inside its body exploded out at the same time!
Its four still-trembling arms frantically dug the ground. It didn’t dare face teacher Rui any longer, charging instead toward the stands with a speed difficult to imagine!
Pa Pa Pa Pa!
Several broken craters appeared on the hard stone walls of the stands. Inside a chorus of horrified cries and shrill screams, this Ximos actually forced its way out of the field, and flipped toward the stands!
The silhouette of teacher Minlur stood still at the forefront of the stands, not moving the slightest bit amidst all the panic and confusion.
This teacher whose face Ayrin hadn’t clearly seen yet suddenly erupted with a great shout when the Ximos’ huge body appeared in the middle of the air, above his head. Strength flowed out of his body; he pushed on his legs, bounced up from the ground!
The two figures flashed in the air and crashed together with a bang!
Boom!
Ayrin was dumbstruck.
He even started to have thoughts like “Truly a barbarian” or “Truly an idiot” in his head.
Because he noticed this teacher didn’t use any “primordial arcane particle” and didn’t seem to have used any arcane skill either. He was entirely relying on his own body to collide together with the Ximos, just like a brainless raging bull.
