135: Chapter 135 The Power of a Single Punch
"In-depth exchange?"
Upon hearing Wang Pingan's words, Lei Qian was stunned for a moment, and then a cold sneer appeared on his face.
He naturally understood the meaning behind Wang Pingan's words.
Was he trying to kill the chicken to warn the monkey?
Perfect!
He had been looking for an opportunity to weigh just how much this so-called "Top Freshman" was truly worth!
"Fine!"
Lei Qian felt no fear at all; he stepped directly out of the ranks, his eyes flashing with electric light as he stared straight at Wang Pingan.
"I have also been wanting to ask Captain Wang for some pointers!"
His tone was full of provocation.
He admitted that the Fourth Rank Peak pressure Wang Pingan displayed yesterday was indeed terrifying.
But Lei Qian wasn't someone who grew up being scared!
He didn't believe that, both being at the Fourth Rank, the other party could really be so strong that he wouldn't even have the power to fight back.
Furthermore, he was a rare lightning-element ability user, and his attack power was known for being domineering and swift among those of the same level!
If they really started fighting, it wasn't certain who would win or lose!
"Oh?" Looking at his confident appearance, the smile on Wang Pingan's face became even brighter. "How do you want to 'ask for pointers'?"
"Very simple." Lei Qian held up a finger and said in a booming voice, "We shall compete with just one move!"
"If you can defeat me within one move."
"From now on, I, Lei Qian, will obey your every command!"
"But if you cannot do it..."
"Then you should stop being captain!"
Lei Qian's words were resonant and full of confidence.
He was creating a way out for himself, as well as for Wang Pingan.
In his view, defeating a top genius who was also at the Fourth Rank within one move was an impossible task.
Even a Sixth Rank powerhouse like Instructor Shi Yan wouldn't dare claim to be able to do it.
As long as Wang Pingan accepted this bet, he would have already lost half the battle.
Even if he defeated him later, if he couldn't do it in one move, his prestige as captain would plummet all the same.
This was his open scheme!
"One move?" After hearing this, the expression on Wang Pingan's face became somewhat strange.
He looked Lei Qian up and down, then nodded solemnly.
"Fine."
"Since you are so sincere."
"Then I will... reluctantly, play along with you."
His tone was understated, as if he were just agreeing to a simple question like "what to eat for lunch today."
This indifferent attitude made Lei Qian's face sink instantly.
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
"Good! I hope your strength matches your big talk!"
Lei Qian snorted angrily, turned around, and strode towards an empty combat arena nearby.
The remaining forty-eight members also immediately followed.
Their faces all showed expressions of wanting to watch a good show.
There's a good show to watch!
Is this... a battle for the captaincy?
In Lin Zhan's eyes, which had always been as still as an ancient well, a ripple finally appeared.
He looked at Wang Pingan's back, and his hand gripping the spear shaft tightened unconsciously.
Soon, the two of them stepped, one after the other, onto the huge arena built from a special alloy.
The arena's energy shield rose automatically, completely isolating the two from the outside world.
"Come on!" Standing at the other end of the arena, Lei Qian gestured provocatively at Wang Pingan from afar.
At this moment, the aura on his body burst forth without reservation!
Fourth Grade Late-Stage!
That condensed and destructive blood-energy fluctuation made many Students off the stage change color!
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Streaks of silver-white electric arcs, like small snakes, began to leap and flicker frantically on the surface of his body!
The air in the entire arena became scorched and oppressive due to that powerful electric field!
"Thunder God, Descend!"
Lei Qian let out an earth-shattering roar!
He drove his internal lightning-element ability to the extreme!
Countless rays of electric light gathered and intertwined behind him, finally forming a huge phantom of the Thunder God, over a dozen meters tall, holding a thunder spear and exuding an aura of destruction!
That terrifying pressure even caused the arena's energy shield to ripple violently!
All the Students watching from below were stunned when they saw this scene!
"Holy crap! Is this... Lei Qian's trump card move?!"
"Too... too terrifying! This momentum is almost catching up to a Fifth Rank powerhouse, right?"
"Wang Pingan is probably going to hit a brick wall this time!"
Everyone's heart was in their throat!
They all wanted to see how that arrogant youth would respond to Lei Qian's earth-shattering full-force strike.
However, what made everyone's jaws drop was this.
Facing that terrifying momentum, which was like the descent of a god, Wang Pingan remained in his lazy posture with his hands in his pockets.
He didn't even activate his protective aura.
He just stood there quietly, looking at Lei Qian, who had merged with the "Thunder God" phantom, with an expression of confusion on his face, as if asking, "What are you doing?"
"Are you... ready?" Wang Pingan's voice rang out leisurely.
"You're courting death!" Lei Qian felt he had received unprecedented humiliation!
He hesitated no longer; the Thunder God phantom that had merged with him suddenly raised the thunder spear in its hand!
Carrying a terrifying momentum capable of judging all living beings and destroying everything, it smashed down fiercely towards Wang Pingan, who was already a dead man in his eyes!
However, just at the moment when the thunder spear was about to fall, Wang Pingan moved.
His figure flickered slightly in place, and then he simply vanished into thin air.
It wasn't speed!
It was a true disappearance, like teleportation!
When he appeared again, he had already arrived silently in front of Lei Qian.
He raised his hand and casually threw a punch at Lei Qian, who was still maintaining the spear-throwing posture, his face full of astonishment and confusion.
There were no dazzling special effects.
There was no terrifying pressure.
It was just a punch that looked plain and unremarkable, even somewhat soft.
An indescribably terrifying fist wind erupted from that small fist!
It blew Lei Qian's hair flying wildly backward!
It blew the huge, majestic "Thunder God" phantom behind him like a candle hit by a Category 12 typhoon; with a "poof," it instantly extinguished!
Lei Qian stood there blankly, his whole body icy cold, and cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.
He knew that if that punch just now had advanced another millimeter, he would already be a corpse right now.
"Now." Wang Pingan withdrew his fist, still wearing that harmless smile.
"Are you convinced?"
