Chapter 201: Getting on the Ring (1/2)
When Bai Xiaofei’s turn arrived, he finally did something different. Under everyone’s gaze, he slowly stood up from his seat, and the remaining members of the Savage Class stood up with him. In truth, he had wanted to get on the ring during the previous rotation, but due to a certain issue Qi Wei was experiencing, and also to ensure that Hu Xian’er’s class would obtain second place, he had decided to wait one extra rotation.
Now, the time had come for him to make his move. Even with all the Savage Class members on the ring, the spectators weren’t optimistic about their chances. As far as they were concerned, without a Master Rank in their class, their numbers did not matter. Moreover, a Master Rank puppet master as powerful as Hu Xian’er still stood in their path to victory.
“I thought you were going to be exploit the rules till the very end,” Luo Xi said with a sneer as she looked at Bai Xiaofei with a deep hostility in her eyes.
“Well, I’m going to be the champion, so I have to show what I can do if I don’t want to be criticized to hell after my victory. Of course, it’s not like I care about the criticism.” Bai Xiaofei then turned his head and looked at Hu Xian’er. “Thank you for everything. Let’s get going.”
With a smile on his face, Bai Xiaofei made an inviting gesture with his hand. Immediately, the people behind him scattered. Each of them took a different position, as if this had been rehearsed.
“You’re going to fight me?” Hu Xian’er looked at Bai Xiaofei with disbelief.
“I hope you can do your best. I want to see what level we’re at right now,” Bai Xiaofei voiced his honest thought, the same smile still on his face. Of course, this was not part of his original plan. If he was alone, he would have let Hu Xian’er fight until the end before giving up the championship to him.
This ultimate shortcut to the throne was more Bai Xiaofei’s way of doing things, but since he was part of the Savage Class, he couldn’t do it. Everyone in the Savage Class needed a big battle to prove themselves. They also needed to prove that Xue Ying’s education method had been correct. Therefore, this was a battle they had to fight.
“Ok. I will do my best.” Hu Xian’er took two steps back.
Beside her, Bai Kai went into full vigilance. He had a good idea of how powerful Bai Xiaofei actually was. He did not even want to fight Bai Xiaofei, but he had to do it as he needed to have Hu Xian’er’s back.
Done talking, they started focusing on their match. Hu Xian’er still fought the same way. Since Bai Xiaofei wanted her to do her best, she was not holding back. The instant she started using her speed to transform into a phantom, the Savage Class members each crushed a fog-releasing ball. Instantly, a thick fog filled the ring.
Hu Xian’er, dashing forward, immediately stopped moving. Unlike Bai Xiaofei who knew her well, she had never figured out the extent of Bai Xiaofei’s abilities. What was hidden within the thick fog was therefore something completely unknown to her. That was why she had decided to observe them before she acted.
Fortunately, the thick fog did not stay long. Time passed, and the fog faded. But the scene that appeared shocked everyone present. The ring had completely changed, filled with countless yellow stone pillars that transformed the ring into a forest of stones.
Moreover, new stone pillars were still growing out of the ground without stop. It seemed as if the entire ring was going to change. The Savage Class members had completely hidden themselves amid the forest of stones, their whereabouts unknown.
The spectators were all stupefied, so was Hu Xian’er.
What was this? Energy Stream puppet master? That wasn’t possible, right? How much origin energy would one require to alter the environment of such a huge ring? Not to mention a Master Rank, this would be a difficult feat even for a Grandmaster Rank. What was the point of even doing this?
