258: Damn, I was too arrogant!

Boom!

An incredibly violent collision occurred.

Turbulent ice and fire attribute magic power raged across the entire arena.

The magic barrier surrounding the arena flickered erratically and multi-colored as it was impacted by the chaotic flow.

It looked like a grand fireworks display.

Beautiful, yet extremely dangerous!

At this moment.

Watching this brilliant scene, the many students in the stadium were silent, their eyes wide.

They couldn't understand how the battle between Wang Chen and Ye Xiuming could have become so fierce!

Many people present felt an extreme danger from the raging magic power chaotic flow.

There was no need to be at the center of the collision; just being hit by the magic power chaotic flow generated after the collision would result in serious injury or even near-death.

"Is it over?"

"This terrifying power! Senior Disciple Ye Xiuming's strike has probably reached the 5th Rank, hasn't it?"

"This is definitely not something a Rank 3 Wang Chen can resist. Even if he could fight Senior Disciple Ye Xiuming back and forth before, he will definitely be defeated under this Song of Ice and Fire Dragon!"

"It must be over. Senior Disciple Ye Xiuming is at the absolute pinnacle among the current students in our school. Wang Chen wanting to defeat him is a joke!"

"But this is also terrifying enough. He can fight Senior Disciple Ye Xiuming to this extent. Ranking twentieth on the Prodigy Ranking List is far from the limit of his strength!"

"..."

After a while, shocked discussions finally echoed in the stadium.

Everyone stared at the arena, eagerly awaiting the final result once the magic power chaotic flow dissipated.

However...

When the magic power chaotic flow dissipated and the arena returned to calm, the many students with expectant expressions nearly popped their eyeballs out.

"Holy crap!"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Why is he still standing? And without any injuries on his body?"

Everyone's mouths hung open, and some even pointed at the arena, too shocked to speak.

On the arena, a tall and slender figure stood proudly. The previously raging magic power chaotic flow had not affected him in the slightest.

Even the clothes on his body showed no wrinkles.

This person was Wang Chen.

Across from him, Ye Xiuming was panting, his figure extremely disheveled. His magnificent mage robe had turned into rags, barely covering his vital parts.

This scene, without needing many words, immediately showed who was superior!

It rendered everyone in the entire stadium speechless!

However...

Unlike the calm and collected appearance everyone saw, Wang Chen's mouth was twitching ever so slightly.

At this moment, he felt his entire body was about to be torn apart, and a tidal wave of pain violently assaulted his consciousness.

He had overestimated himself!

Just now, seeing the Twin Ice and Fire Dragons attack, he was momentarily hot-blooded and met them with his bare fists. As a result, his entire body was now in so much pain that he couldn't move.

And it wasn't just him; in his mind, a voice mixed with pain and dissatisfaction was also ringing out.

"Master!"

"Can't you be a little gentler with me?"

"It hurts so much!"

Little Ice Purity roared discontentedly, rolling around in the Beast Pet Space, looking very injured.

Just now, when Wang Chen met the Twin Ice and Fire Dragons with his bare fists, he instantly realized that taking the hit head-on would result in serious injury.

So, in a flash, he activated his new skill obtained during his Rank advancement, Damage Transfer.

He directly transferred forty percent of the damage to the thick-skinned Ice Purity.

This was how he managed to look completely unharmed now.

But...

He could only keep up appearances now. The immense force had impacted his body, and his entire body, especially his arms, felt almost torn.

Now, even a casual Awakener of the same Rank could probably knock him down with one punch.

"Hoo!"

"I didn't expect, Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen, that your four-dimensional attributes are already so powerful that you can withstand my strongest attack with your body!"

At this moment, the panting Ye Xiuming stabilized his breathing and looked at Wang Chen with shock.

A Rank 3 at level eighty-something possessing body attributes equivalent to a Rank 4 at level one hundred thirty was simply a fantasy in his eyes.

But now, it was really happening before him.

"But unfortunately..."

The shock in Ye Xiuming's eyes receded, replaced by an indescribable sense of relief.

"You made the wrong choice!"

"If you had chosen to avoid the sharp edge just now, I would definitely have lost this battle."

"But there are no ifs. Do you still have the strength to continue fighting?"

He keenly noticed that there seemed to be a problem with Wang Chen's body, and his words at this time carried a hint of probing.

"You can try!"

Hearing Ye Xiuming's words, Wang Chen struggled to pull the corners of his mouth, feigning a calm and collected demeanor.

He couldn't lose the match, nor could he lose his composure!

"Senior Disciple, have you forgotten that I am a Beast Master!"

Looking at Ye Xiuming with calm eyes, Wang Chen's mouth curved into an arc.

As his words fell, Ye Xiuming's expression changed drastically, and many students in the stands couldn't help but stand up at this moment.

Especially the students of the Magic Academy. Just now, when they heard Ye Xiuming's words, they all thought this battle was stable and were ready to cheer and celebrate.

But what Wang Chen said was like a clap of thunder exploding in their minds.

That's right!

Wang Chen was not a warrior, nor a mage!

He was a Beast Master!

And he was a Giant-Beast Master who had contracted three Beast Pets, and all three Beast Pets were at least Divine Beast-level giant beasts!

From the beginning of the battle until now, he had never summoned his Beast Pets, and had never used his full strength.

"This..."

Ye Xiuming's mouth twitched, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

After Wang Chen's words fell, he could already feel himself being locked onto by an unknown gaze.

He didn't need to guess where this gaze came from.

"Ha!"

"A Nine-tailed Fox!"

Ye Xiuming lowered his head, looking at the cute creature standing at his feet, with fur as white as snow and nine fluffy tails. He gave a bitter laugh.

"I concede!"

Before the Nine-tailed Fox's eyes turned dangerous, Ye Xiuming directly put away the magic staff in his hand and slumped powerlessly onto the arena.

When Wang Chen was stirring up trouble at Blazing Dragon University, Ye Xiuming, like others, had investigated Wang Chen's information.

He had watched the video of the freshman entrance ranking battle several times.

Leaving aside other things, the Nine-tailed Fox's bizarre abilities displayed in the dungeon made him shudder.

He certainly didn't want to do anything indecent in public like those monsters in the dungeon.

He could lose the match, but his reputation could not be ruined!

Ye Xiuming was truly worried that after falling victim to it, he would suffer social death in Blazing Dragon University and the Awakener circle!
