42: Bang bang bang!

In front of the iron cage, Nangong Ao stood there, his expression constantly changing, his face alternating between green and pale.

The closer he got, the more he could feel the power of this Bloody Violent Bear.

He somewhat regretted showing off; the Bloody Violent Bear was much stronger than he had imagined!

But now he was in a difficult situation. He looked up at the drone filming him from above, then glanced at Li Ziyu and Xia Lin, who were quietly watching him from a distance.

When he saw Xia Lin and Li Ziyu standing so close, Nangong Ao hardened his heart.

"Damn it! She's indifferent to my pursuit, Nangong Ao, but smiles at Li Ziyu. Damn! I, Nangong Ao, am not inferior to Li Ziyu!"

"I must prove it!"

With that thought, Nangong Ao's heart turned ruthless, and he pressed down hard on the button that released the iron cage.

"Foolish!! Idiot! Nangong Ao, that idiot! How dare he! Absolutely foolish!"

In the command room, Mayor Wang Jiannan watched Nangong Ao release the Bloody Violent Bear's restraints, so angry that he slammed the table, making it tremble.

He had originally had a good impression of Nangong Ao, a genius from First High, and had held high hopes for him.

But he never expected Nangong Ao to be such an idiot who couldn't recognize his own strength!

He was only a Level 1 Intermediate yet dared to fight a Level 2 ferocious beast, and one that was particularly difficult to deal with even among Level 2 ferocious beasts: the Bloody Violent Bear.

Before, he had thought Nangong Ao's arrogance was the sharp edge of youth, but now it seemed like pure foolishness.

He didn't even know what to say about such an idiot.

"How much longer until the rescue team arrives at the scene!"

"Word from over there is, two more minutes!"

"Two minutes... that should be enough for Nangong Ao to escape. Now I just hope Student Li Ziyu doesn't act as foolishly as Nangong Ao and try to challenge the Bloody Violent Bear too."

...

"It's out."

Li Ziyu looked at the scene and thought to himself.

As Nangong Ao pressed the button, the adult arm-thick steel bars slowly rose, and the cage restraining the Bloody Violent Bear gradually lifted.

The Bloody Violent Bear's snoring breath suddenly hitched, and it abruptly opened its eyes, a pair of crimson pupils staring directly at Nangong Ao.

"Holy crap!"

Nangong Ao had originally intended to attack first.

But when the Bloody Violent Bear stood up from the cage, its two lantern-like crimson eyes staring indifferently at him, he was so scared that he collapsed onto the ground.

Through the cage earlier, the oppressive feeling hadn't been this intense.

But when the Bloody Violent Bear truly stood before him without any restraints, Nangong Ao felt like he didn't even have the strength to run, his mind a blank.

Bang!

The Bloody Violent Bear roared, stood on two feet, and swung a paw at Nangong Ao with a roaring force like a collapsing mountain.

Stimulated by the breath of death, Nangong Ao finally reacted, subconsciously raising his longsword to parry.

Bang!

However, his longsword, forged from asma alloy, didn't last even a second under the Bloody Violent Bear's attack before being swatted away.

The force was transmitted from the longsword to Nangong Ao's body, and the irresistible power directly sent Nangong Ao tumbling hundreds of meters through the air.

He crashed heavily onto the ground, spitting blood, convulsing, and falling unconscious.

...

"Run! Student Li Ziyu, the Bloody Violent Bear is running towards us!"

Xia Lin cried out in alarm.

Li Ziyu looked speechlessly at Nangong Ao, who was sprawled at his feet, his blood seeping onto Li Ziyu's toes, convulsing all over, and felt utterly speechless.

He didn't know if it was a coincidence or what, but Nangong Ao had been swatted exactly in his direction.

Li Ziyu looked up at the rolling dust cloud rushing towards him from a distance.

Beneath the dust, was a Bloody Violent Bear, full of power, its aura like a tsunami.

The Bloody Violent Bear covered the hundreds of meters in just a few seconds; Li Ziyu could even clearly see the drool dripping from the Bloody Violent Bear's teeth.

"Hurry up and go! Student Li Ziyu!! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Xia Lin thought Li Ziyu was scared stiff and quickly stepped forward to pull on Li Ziyu's sleeve, wanting to drag him to escape.

In the distance, Wang Long and Bai Haoran showed expressions of schadenfreude, looking like they were enjoying a good show.

In the command room, Mayor Wang Jiannan's face was ashen, his eyes fixed on the live screen.

Several principals watched unblinkingly, their faces filled with worry.

"Didn't you just ask me if I was going to hunt a Level 2 ferocious beast?"

"I'm answering you now, yes."

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Li Ziyu turned to Xia Lin, revealing a wide, white-toothed smile.

Then, he took a light step forward, facing the Bloody Violent Bear that had already charged in front of him.

The Bloody Violent Bear, like a small mountain, cast a shadow over Li Ziyu's head and swatted a paw down at him.

Li Ziyu didn't react. Just as Xia Lin thought Li Ziyu was scared stiff and couldn't move.

Li Ziyu moved.

He swung his leg back, making a shooting motion towards the Bloody Violent Bear that had charged in front of him.

Then, with an upward kick, he fiercely kicked the Bloody Violent Bear's descending paw.

This kick condensed all his strength, his body's vital energy surging, his Ox Tempering Method used to its extreme!

Bang!

Paw and leg collided.

A thunderous explosion.

The Bloody Violent Bear's paw, as large as a cushion, was actually sent flying back faster than it came under Li Ziyu's kick.

The Bloody Violent Bear's upright body, under the force of the recoil, stumbled back dozens of steps, finally landing on its backside.

"Student Li Ziyu, run... uh..."

Xia Lin had already drawn her sword, but seeing this scene, she froze mid-air, her mouth wide open, making gurgling sounds as if choked, unable to speak.

Bang!

After his upward kick, Li Ziyu's figure instantly vanished from his original spot, reappearing in front of the Bloody Violent Bear, and delivered another upward kick.

Bang bang bang!

Then came the second, third, and fourth kicks.

The Bloody Violent Bear's mountain-like body hadn't even managed to stand up before it was sent flying into the air by Li Ziyu's flying kicks.

Finally, with a plop, it crashed heavily onto the ground, lifeless.

"Student Li Ziyu, you..."

Xia Lin witnessed the entire scene, yet it was as if she hadn't.

Because she felt that everything that had just happened must be an illusion.

The Bloody Violent Bear's oppressive force was too great, making her hallucinate that the Bloody Violent Bear had been killed.

"Yes! That must be it!"

"It is said that when people face something extremely terrifying, they will fantasize about another, even more powerful entity, to crush that terror."

"I must be in that state now. No, I must snap out of this fantasy!"

Xia Lin pinched her own cheek hard.

"Hiss! That hurts!"

Then she looked intently in the direction of the Bloody Violent Bear again.

The Bloody Violent Bear was still lying there motionless.

This scene instantly left Xia Lin stunned, her mind a blank.

"Everything that just happened, it was real!!!? Student Li Ziyu, really kicked the Bloody Violent Bear to death with his bare hands??!"
