128: Chapter 128: Surprised? Unexpected?

BOOM!

The center of the arena was completely reduced to a sea of fire.

Violent shockwaves surged frantically within the barrier, and even the indestructible alloy arena floor was smashed down by half a meter.

Smoke and fire shot into the sky, obscuring everyone's vision.

It's over.

This was the only thought flashing through everyone's minds.

Chu Yao dropped her hands powerlessly, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes.

Under the dual assault of this level of physical crushing and Source Energy explosion, even wearing the dark star battle armor, it was impossible to withstand.

Even if the armor didn't break, the person inside would have long since been shaken into a puddle of mush.

Tie Moshan gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, his fists clenched so hard they cracked.

He was already prepared to rush in and tear Zhao Kuo to pieces the moment the barrier opened.

Zhao Kuo maintained his striking posture, letting out a wild, exhilarating roar amidst the billowing smoke.

Won!

He had finally crushed this piece of trash who had been suppressing him everywhere.

Whatever Luck, whatever Genius—they were all just stepping stones for him to reach the Peak.

However, just as the arena fell silent, with only Zhao Kuo's inhuman laughter echoing,

A slightly disgusted, clear, and calm voice came from the deepest part of the smoke, without any warning.

"Are you done laughing? If you're done, take your claws off."

"If you scratch the paint on my battle armor, can you afford to pay for it?"

This voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap on flat ground.

Zhao Kuo's wild laughter stopped abruptly, his scarlet pupils shrinking violently as he stared fixedly at the spot under his palms.

The entire audience, the big shots in the viewing area, and even Associate Professor Zhou Haisheng, who was preparing to pop the champagne, froze.

The fire and smoke gradually dissipated.

Everyone watched in horror.

Beneath Zhao Kuo's mountain-heavy giant claws, Su Ming, wearing the dark star battle armor, hadn't turned into a puddle of mush; he hadn't even bent his knees.

With just his left hand, he pushed upward casually, steadily supporting Zhao Kuo's terrifying blow that was strong enough to crush a Tier 4.

Where Su Ming's palm met the giant claw, there was no Source Energy shield, no flashy light effects, only the purest physical confrontation.

His hundred-ton density silicon-based Physical Body displayed a terrifying load-bearing limit at this moment.

Zhao Kuo's arm trembled wildly, and hot magma dripped from between his fingers, sizzling as it hit Su Ming's armor, but it couldn't press down even a millimeter further.

"How is this possible!"

Zhao Kuo's voice carried a trembling note of collapse.

"This is impossible! I'm already Tier 4! I even sacrificed my life!"

Su Ming tilted his head slightly, his dark eyes devoid of any fear when facing the Tier 4 beast-like monster.

On the contrary, his eyes held only the greed and excitement of seeing a fat sheep deliver itself to his door.

"Your Tier 4 is a bit watered down."

Su Ming began to complain.

With this much force, apart from being a bit hot, the feedback from Kinetic Siphon was basically just an itch.

Compared to that Iron-Spine Rhinoceros in the Source Abyss possessed by a Tier 6 phantom, this giant roasted suckling pig was just bloated!

"Kinetic Siphon really is a great skill!"

Su Ming felt the numbers in his mass points account jumping wildly, his mood quite pleasant.

[Violent kinetic impact detected, converting to mass points...]

[mass points + 1000]

[mass points + 1000]

...

A series of System prompts sounded like a beautiful symphony.

He looked up at the lava giant claw supported by his single hand, his eyes full of the joy one has when looking at a power bank.

"Tier 4? You want to kill me with this little bit of strength?"

This lighthearted sentence, transmitted through the Source Energy loudspeaker, clearly reached the entire martial arts arena.

Zhao Kuo, after beast-fication, had his remaining rationality completely ignited by these words. He let out a beast-like roar, and his other giant claw came crashing down as well, using both claws to press all his strength onto Su Ming!

However, he only felt his fists sinking into a gravitational abyss.

All the impact force was "sucked" away the moment it touched Su Ming's body. There was no rebound, no shock, only the feeling of exhaustion as his strength was drained out of thin air.

[mass points + 1000]

...

"Impossible!"

A roar squeezed out of Zhao Kuo's wind-leaking throat.

"Die!"

His left claw, dripping with scorching magma, smashed down again.

"Now, it's my turn!"

Su Ming's right hand, which had been in his pocket, slowly reached out.

The next second, he flicked his left wrist that was supporting the giant claw, and a hundred tons of True Mass instantly exerted force through his silicon-based skeleton!

Under the horrified gaze of tens of thousands of people, that five-meter-tall lava giant beast was effortlessly flipped away by Su Ming like a ragdoll!

"BOOM—!!"

Zhao Kuo's massive body crashed heavily into the Source Energy barrier on the other side of the arena. The entire barrier trembled violently, dense dark purple cracks appearing on its surface. Its momentum was no less than the combined strike of Tie Moshan and Lang Qingyun earlier!

Outside in the viewing area, everyone was stunned.

Chu Yao's eyes instantly lit up, cyan gale winds swirling around her.

This kid really knows how to give people surprises!

Tie Moshan and Lang Qingyun, these two Tier 5 powerhouses, had their eyes popping out of their sockets.

The live stream comments, after a brief pause, ushered in an unprecedented explosion.

"??? What did I just see? Flipping a Tier 4 monster with one hand?"

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Flipping a Tier 4 monster with one hand?!"

"Is this the kind of strength a human can have?"

"The Enhancement Type is terrifying! The King of Posers is forever my big brother!"

"Who said the King of Posers was done for just now? Come out and get beaten!"

Inside the arena, Zhao Kuo, who had been flipped away, climbed up from the ground, his mind full of confusion and unbearable humiliation.

Why!

One blow and he was already injured!

He had injected the forbidden potion of the Tongyuan Society and sacrificed his human identity to obtain Tier 4 power!

"ROAR!!!"

Having completely lost his rationality, Zhao Kuo frantically burned the strange vitality within his body.

The lava exoskeleton on his back split open, spraying out scorching pillars of fire.

He erupted with terrifying speed that was nearly pseudo-Tier 5, opened his bloody maw, and lunged at Su Ming again with the sky full of magma.

Looking at this monster that had completely lost its humanity, Su Ming's eyes turned cold.

"You think taking drugs can change the fact that you're a piece of trash?"

Su Ming stood where he was without dodging, letting the sea of fire engulf him.

"To me, you will always be garbage!"

[Violent fire element impact detected, converting to mass points...]

[mass points + 1200]

[mass points + 1200]

[mass points + 1200]

...

Zhao Kuo charged at Su Ming, his right hand forming a huge lava hammer, carrying enough terrifying force to smash a building, and smashed down fiercely!

"BOOM!"

This blow smashed Su Ming directly into the foundation beneath the arena.

Debris flew everywhere, and a bottomless humanoid pit appeared on the spot.

Zhao Kuo stared fixedly at the pit, panting violently, praying that nothing would come out.

"Whoosh!"

A black shadow jumped out of the pit and landed steadily on the edge of the crater.

This sound gave Zhao Kuo a huge scare!

Su Ming patted the dust off his battle armor and spread his hands towards Zhao Kuo, looking cheeky.

"Surprise? Unexpected? Not dead!"

"Pfft—"

Of the nearly fifty million viewers online, at least half laughed out loud.

Regardless of whether they had been to school or not, everyone was asking for the area of the shadow in Zhao Kuo's heart right now!

The candidates and instructors outside the field saw that Su Ming could not only contend with the Tier 4 monster but also had a pollution barrier to keep the monster inside the arena, so they were no longer afraid.

Those who had originally fled to the perimeter slowly moved back to the center, sitting in rows to start watching the show!

Zhao Kuo's mentality completely collapsed.

"Ahhhhh!"

He threw another punch, creating a sonic boom that tore through the air.

Su Ming didn't dodge or evade this time; he casually raised his arm and clamped it.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by the teeth-grinding sound of bone fracturing, Zhao Kuo's indestructible obsidian giant claw was actually clamped firmly by Su Ming's arm!

The bone broke on the spot!

Zhao Kuo let out a painful wail, desperately trying to pull his arm back.

But he found that Su Ming's arm was like a ten-thousand-ton hydraulic press, welding his claw firmly under his armpit.

"Come here, you!"

Su Ming sneered.

He pulled back.

Under the huge force of the drag, Zhao Kuo's massive body flew forward uncontrollably.

Su Ming didn't waste a word; it was time to show you some color!

Mass Mastery!

A terrifying kinetic energy of one hundred and fifty tons was poured into his right hand by Su Ming without reservation.

No frills, just a direct slap.

Simple and rough!

"BOOM!"

A roar like ten thousand tons of explosives detonating at once exploded in the center of the arena.

Zhao Kuo's five-meter-tall massive body was slapped away by Su Ming's palm, plowing a deep trench dozens of meters long on the hard alloy floor!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under several consecutive strikes, the strange barrier that even the combined efforts of Tier 5 powerhouses couldn't break finally became overwhelmed and, with a "crash," completely shattered!

The whole place was silent.

At the edge of the arena, Tie Moshan slowly lowered his posture, where he had been preparing to punch the barrier. His head was buzzing.

Who am I? Where am I?

Lang Qingyun's mouth twitched wildly.

This is F-Rank?!

This is Enhancement Type!?

Slapping a Tier 4 transformed monster like a sandbag, and on the way, shattering the defensive barrier they were all helpless against!

...
