Chapter 51: Why did Zhang Fan apply to Xijing Martial Arts University in the first place?
In the scarlet vertical pupils of the Atomic Giant Lizard, the violence and madness faded significantly, replaced by a highly human-like resentment!
It hated this insignificant human before it so much!
It must have sensed that the King-seed from the Black Mountain Range died at the hands of this insignificant human, which was why it flew into a rage and broke through the blockade of the Catacombs Manor!
But now, was it, too, about to be killed by this insignificant human?
Just then, it suddenly seemed to sense something.
It immediately threw its head back and let out a strange, high-pitched roar from its throat, the sound spreading far into the distance!
At the same time, the tactical watches on everyone's wrists emitted piercing alarms almost simultaneously!
Zhu Chi looked down and his expression changed drastically, "A few minutes ago, a spatial rift appeared in the northern suburbs of Huahai City! Energy signatures of ten Lord-level Ferocious Beasts were detected! I fear they have already been attracted here by this King-level Ferocious Beast."
Mentor Yang also instantly understood the Atomic Giant Lizard's intention and said in horror, "It is summoning those Lord-level Ferocious Beasts! If it manages to devour those ten Lord-level... with that energy replenishment, it will very likely break through the critical point and evolve into a full-form King-level!"
"By then, I fear even a Third-Stage Limit-Breaker might not be able to subdue it!"
"We must stop that wave of Ferocious Beasts!" Wang Qiang and the others were also anxious.
Rumble... The ground began to tremble violently. On the distant horizon, dust rolled as ten massive black shadows came charging at an astonishing speed!
Before anyone else could make a move, the space belt around Zhang Fan's waist flashed with a faint light.
A massive, dark silver cannon barrel, along with its base, appeared out of thin air and was steadily set up in front of him! The Base Shen Xiao Cannon!
The muzzle adjusted rapidly, locking onto the direction of the ten Lord-level Ferocious Beasts in the distance.
Zhang Fan pressed one hand onto an energy input node on the cannon body. The runes on the cannon instantly lit up, emitting a destructive energy fluctuation!
"Hum!!"
A thick, dark silver beam of energy tore through the air, crossing thousands of meters in an instant at a speed exceeding visual perception, and precisely struck the center of those ten Lord-level Ferocious Beasts!
"Boom!!"
A small mushroom cloud shot up into the sky! In that instant, the dazzling light made the sun itself look dull! A terrifying energy shockwave spread in a ring, leveling everything in that area to the ground!
As the smoke and dust cleared, where were the shadows of the ten Lord-level Ferocious Beasts? Nothing remained but a huge, scorched crater and the smell of burning lingering in the air.
Instant kill! Ten Lord-level Ferocious Beasts, killed in an instant by one shot!
Everyone stared at this scene in dumbfounded shock...
When did this Zhang Fan exchange for such a powerful energy cannon? It was simply inhumanly wealthy! They dreamed of having this way of killing enemies, but... they didn't have the money.
However, thinking about it, Zhang Fan had earned so many merits before, so exchanging for an energy cannon was understandable.
The Atomic Giant Lizard, which had just been summoning its underlings, saw its scarlet vertical pupils shrink violently, filled with extreme shock and boundless resentment!
The Atomic Giant Lizard was both furious and resentful; this insignificant human truly deserved to die!
But before it could react further, Zhang Fan moved again. Accompanied by the sound of Shen Xiao wind and thunder, he charged forward explosively!
Carrying the momentum of this charge, Zhang Fan violently swung the mystic heavy mountain-collapsing hammer in his hand. In the terrified gaze of the King-level giant beast, it smashed into its skull with a boom!
"Puff!"
That skull, comparable in size to an off-road vehicle, instantly deformed and collapsed like a watermelon being smashed, exploding with a boom!
Having lost its head, the mountain-like massive body stiffened for a moment, then, as if all its strength had been drained, it crashed sideways!
Zhang Fan's figure had already drifted back to twenty meters away, the heavy hammer in his hand pointing diagonally at the ground, with viscous beast blood slowly dripping from the hammerhead.
He slightly steadied his breathing, his eyes calm.
It was done.
It seemed his strength was still decent; killing a mature King-level Ferocious Beast was more than enough.
All the people around, Zhu Chi, Mentor Yang, Su Wan, Wang Qiang... and even the dust-covered soldiers further out, had their eyes widened and mouths slightly open, their faces frozen in extreme shock.
"It died?"
That city-destroying King-level beast that had driven them to near despair... had its head blown off by Zhang Fan with one hammer strike!
Mentor Yang and Zhu Chi looked at each other, their eyes full of both shock and joy!
They were the most sensitive to perception. The strike just now contained absolutely more than simple blood energy!
"Second-Stage Limit-Breaker!"
"This control of power, the application of 'intent'... it's definitely Second-Stage, or even the peak of the Second-Stage!"
Mentor Yang's aged face was shaken, and he nodded slowly, "If this child does not die prematurely, in the future, he will surely become a pillar of support for humanity!"
He turned his head abruptly, his burning gaze fixed on the dazed Su Wan beside him, his tone serious, "Su Wan! Why didn't your classmate... apply to our Xijing Martial Arts University after the college entrance exam? If he had been taught by famous masters, his achievements might have been even greater than they are today!"
Su Wan was speechless.
Apply to Xijing Martial Arts University? How to say it?
Should she tell her mentor that this classmate who hammered a King-level beast to death and was regarded as the hope of humanity had failed the college entrance exam directly and ended up in... the corpse collection squad?
"Commander Zhu!" Wang Qiang rushed over with his men, his face smeared with blood and excitement, "You're too much! Hiding such a powerhouse and not giving us brothers a heads-up? Before, when the Ferocious Beasts rioted, our legs were scared soft!"
The look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Fan was full of awe. Don't look at Zhang Fan as young; in this era, strength is respected, and Zhang Fan's current strength already made him a senior expert.
The other team members also excitedly gathered around, chattering, feeling both fortunate and fearful.
Zhu Chi shook his head with a bitter smile. He would have liked to tell them, but who could have imagined before that Zhang Fan would be so ferocious?
Zhu Chi's mind also became active. "This Zhang Fan must be cultivated and protected with everything! His potential value is worth ten Wang Qiangs!"
He was already calculating in his heart how to use his authority to secure the top resources for Zhang Fan.
On the other side of the battlefield, Bawu Hall's Young Hall Master, Shen Xiao, was being supported by an elder, his injuries temporarily stabilized.
He, Shen Xiao, the century-old genius of Bawu Hall, had resources tilted towards him since childhood, practiced hard to break limits, and considered himself invincible among his peers.
But today, he had exhausted all his trump cards, only to be as fragile as a joke before the King-level Ferocious Beast. He was defeated miserably in one move and even passed out, losing all face in front of Su Wan.
And that Zhang Fan, he actually killed the King-level Ferocious Beast like slaughtering a dog.
His genius-like self-esteem was ruthlessly trampled by Zhang Fan.
Beside him, the several elders also had solemn expressions. The leading elder took a deep look at Zhang Fan; such a high-potential young expert, regardless of whether Bawu Hall chose to win him over or compete with him in the future, must be taken seriously enough!
