123: Chapter 123 One-Punch Kill! What an idiot!
The entire arena fell silent in an instant.
Tens of thousands of gazes, along with the eyes of nearly fifty million viewers online, were all fixed on that youth in black armor.
Su Ming walked slowly toward the beast cages with his hands in his pockets.
Chief Examiner Li Feng looked at him, his expression complex.
"Examinee Su Ming, please select the grade of the Vicious Beast."
Su Ming looked around at the beast cages, feeling somewhat listless.
"Are there any Tier 4 ones?"
"..."
The corners of Chief Examiner Li Feng's mouth twitched violently.
The examinees in the arena erupted into an uproar.
"Damn! He wants to choose a Tier 4? He's crazy!"
"This King of Posers really dares to ask!"
"Don't go too far!"
Chief Examiner Li Feng snapped irritably, "This is just the college entrance exam! It's not the Federation Grand Competition! The highest is only Tier 3! Take it or leave it!"
"Oh, alright then."
With a "how boring" expression, Su Ming raised his hand and pointed at the only cage among the twelve that was tightly bound by thick alloy chains.
Inside was a Vicious Beast with a body comparable to a heavy truck and the most terrifying aura, currently ramming against the cage walls in agitation.
"Then let's go with that one."
The entire arena followed his finger and gasped.
That was the only Tier 3 Vicious Beast in the entire arena. The Poison-Spine Wild Boar King!
Chief Examiner Li Feng's brows locked tightly: "Are you sure? A Tier 3 Vicious Beast has a comprehensive combat power comparable to a human Tier 4 Awakened. Its poison spines and poison mist can easily corrode Source Energy shields below Tier 4!"
"I'm sure."
Su Ming nodded, as if he were picking the biggest cabbage at a vegetable market.
"Open the cage!"
Following Chief Examiner Li Feng's command, the alloy chains binding the cage fell away.
"ROAR!!!"
The released Poison-Spine Wild Boar King let out a deafening roar, its massive body turning into an out-of-control tank, rumbling toward Su Ming!
Its four hooves pounded against the alloy ground, each step smashing out a fist-sized crater.
When the Wild Boar King reached less than five meters in front of Su Ming, the hundreds of pitch-black poison spines on its back suddenly exploded outward, like a rain of death, shooting toward Su Ming from all directions!
"Be careful while showing off!" In the observation stands, Shen Qingci clenched her fists.
However, Su Ming stood where he was, neither dodging nor avoiding.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! A dense sound of impacts rang out.
Those poison spines, capable of piercing steel plates, struck Su Ming's Dark Star Battle Armor, yet not even a spark could be ignited. They shattered and bounced off, not even leaving a white mark.
Immediately after, the Wild Boar King opened its bloody maw, spewing out a patch of deep purple poison mist that enveloped Su Ming entirely.
The hearts of everyone in the arena were in their throats.
"This smell..." Su Ming wrinkled his nose, "It's a bit heady."
He stood in the poison mist, inhaling continuously as if smelling the fragrance of flowers.
Su Ming casually activated [Kinetic Siphon].
The System panel flickered a few times—[Detected exogenous toxin kinetic energy is weak, forced deconstruction in progress...] [mass points + 30] [mass points + 30] [mass points + 30]. It jumped five times. Then it stopped.
The poison mist dissipated along with it. Su Ming pursed his lips. Is that it? I can't even get a few good freebies.
You big guy grew those thousands of jin for nothing; your toxin content isn't even as good as hot pot base.
The entire arena was deathly silent!
The poison spines couldn't pierce him. The poison mist had no effect.
Bruh, what is this situation?
Not only the people, but even that Poison-Spine Wild Boar King was stunned. It didn't have high intelligence, but its instincts told it that the two-legged beast in front of it... was very wrong.
It had sprayed, and it had shot! But where was its proud poison? Where did it go?
As a dignified Tier 3 poison-type Vicious Beast, it was currently suffering a serious professional insult.
The Wild Boar King roared in fury, lowered its head to reveal its tusks, and charged toward Su Ming with maximum acceleration.
Su Ming curled his lip, feeling a bit bored. "Forget it, I won't bully the little animal anymore."
The moment his words fell, Su Ming's figure vanished from where he stood.
The next moment, he appeared in front of the Wild Boar King's massive head and casually raised his right fist.
There was no Source Energy fluctuation, no flashy special effects, just such an unremarkable punch. It was gently pressed against the Wild Boar King's forehead.
"Bang." A soft sound.
Then, the Poison-Spine Wild Boar King's massive head, which was comparable to alloy, exploded from the inside out. The tusks were sent flying from their roots.
The poison spines snapped in pieces within the shockwave, littering the ground with purple debris.
The massive body was pushed backward by the residual force of that punch, sliding three meters as its four hooves scraped a harsh, screeching sound against the alloy ground.
It then collapsed with a crash, shaking the entire alloy arena floor.
One punch. Instant kill.
This time, the entire arena was not deathly silent. (Forgive my lack of words) Instead, it exploded!
"BOOM!!!!!" The mountain-shaking, sea-roaring sounds of astonishment flipped the entire martial arts arena upside down!
"One punch... one punch killed a Tier 3 Vicious Beast?!"
"Physical Body sanctification! Everything he said was true!"
"What the f*ck did I just see?!"
"This is truly the aesthetics of violence; I want to sign him to film!"
In the observation stands, all the recruiting instructors stood up collectively with a "whoosh"!
Associate Professor Zhou from Imperial Capital University was pinned to his seat. Previously, he had seen Su Ming blow up the test robot with his own eyes and could still deceive himself by saying "equipment malfunction." But now? Could a Tier 3 Vicious Beast's head also malfunction?
Lang Qingyun from Eastern Lingyun Academy jumped straight up from his seat, pointed toward the direction of the beast cages, turned his head, and roared at Tie Moshan beside him: "Old Tie, don't fight me for him! I've reserved this young man!"
Body Cultivator Tie Moshan looked silently in Ye Xiao's direction, then turned his head back to look at the youth in black armor standing beside the boar's corpse in the cage. He wanted both of them!
Chief Examiner Li Feng stood on the stage, feeling his legs trembling. He wouldn't be able to last a single move in the other party's hands, would he? This was the first time he, as a martial arts examiner, felt so... lacking in a sense of security!
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead fiercely and picked up the loudspeaker: "Examinee Su Ming, killed a Tier 3 Vicious Beast..." He paused. "Time taken... thirty seconds!" He paused again. "With only one punch."
The cheers of the entire arena rose to another level.
"Base score of one hundred, finished one hundred and fifty seconds early, add one hundred and fifty points..." "Total score—" "Two hundred and fifty!!!"
"???"
"@#%^&*¥~!"
