288: Chapter 288 The Power of the Fifth Order!

Zhao Zhenlei suddenly pointed at Gou Fugui and Xiang Batian, who were hiding behind the others. His tone was filled with an extremely confident, delusional assumption:

"Stop pretending! I've figured it all out!"

"Your Magic City Martial Arts University has such deep schemes! By simply throwing out two of your weakest logistics members as bait, you perfectly lured the top combatants from the Imperial Capital, Nanhai, Shushan, and Kuangsha universities into that mud pit, turning the situation into a complete mess!"

"And you, the true top-tier main force, have remained unscathed, staying out of the fray, waiting here in comfort to reap the benefits, right?!"

Boom! Zhao Zhenlei's epic, heaven-defying stretch of imagination directly silenced the group from Magic City Martial Arts University.

Gou Fugui's eyes widened, his mouth hanging open wide enough to fit a duck egg.

He looked at Xiang Batian, then back at Zhao Zhenlei:

"Not... Big Brother, didn't you hear me just now? The reason for all of this is simply because I called Qin Zhuo a 'roasted native chicken' online?"

"Hah! Ridiculous!"

Zhao Zhenlei snorted disdainfully, as if he had heard an extremely low-level joke, and interrupted Gou Fugui mercilessly:

"Do you take me, Old Zhao, for a three-year-old child?! A dignified SSS-rank Divine Phoenix descendant would chase you all over the map, ignoring even a Peak Fourth-Order spirit herb, just because you called her a 'roasted native chicken' online?!"

"Only a fool would believe such a weak, illogical excuse!"

"This is clearly a high-level psychological induction tactic used in secret by Magic City Martial Arts University, or you are carrying some high-tier spirit artifact that releases fake signals, which is how you set up this heaven-shocking death trap!"

Zhao Zhenlei shook his head with extreme confidence, feeling like a contemporary Wolong, having seen through the hypocritical veil of Magic City Martial Arts University at a glance!

The six experts of Magic City: "..."

They looked at Zhao Zhenlei, who wore an expression of "I have already seen through everything," and their lips twitched violently.

Xie Fuyao closed his eyes in pain.

He was tired, truly tired.

During his battle with Jiang You that day, he must have been beaten to death by his opponent.

Everything that happened afterward must have been a hallucination; otherwise, were these people's brains filled with paste?

Why is communicating with this group of people more difficult than explaining calculus to a dog?!

Can't you even understand what you're eavesdropping on?

You don't believe the truth, but insist on imagining a world-shaking conspiracy?

"Hmph! Nothing to say now that I, Old Zhao, have exposed your conspiracy?"

Seeing that the Magic City group had collectively fallen silent, Zhao Zhenlei became even more certain of his deduction!

He took a deep breath, his Tier 5 blood energy erupting with a boom, standing proudly on the scene like a god of war.

His gaze swept sharply across the empty forest, then, gathering his breath into his Dantian, he let out an extremely arrogant battle cry into the air:

"Since the conspiracy has been exposed, the guy hiding in the dark should show himself, right?!"

Zhao Zhenlei pointed at the surrounding woods and roared loudly:

"Jiang You!!!"

"I know you're nearby! This entire heaven-shocking grand layout was planned by you, the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"To be able to stir up chaos in the secret realm and lead the four chiefs around in circles without even making a move, you really do have some skills!"

"But! In the face of my, Old Zhao's, absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are empty!"

Zhao Zhenlei pounded his chest muscles, making a "thump-thump" dull sound:

"Let him come out! If he's a man, he should fight me, Old Zhao, fair and square! Don't hide in the dark like a coward!!!"

"..."

As Zhao Zhenlei's extremely domineering and hot-blooded roar echoed through the dense forest, the eight people from Magic City Martial Arts University looked at him as if he were a patient with severe schizophrenia.

It felt like Zhao Zhenlei could sit at the same table as Lu Xingye...

Gou Fugui was so embarrassed that he froze. He leaned into Xiang Batian's ear and asked in a low voice, questioning reality itself:

"Batian... Is this big guy missing a brain stem? Who exactly is he yelling at?"

"Brother Jiang is probably drooling all over the place right now..."

Hearing Gou Fugui's snark, Xie Fuyao in front rubbed his temples in pain.

As the former number one of Magic City Martial Arts University, he felt it was necessary to salvage the average intelligence of the Great Xia Martial Arts World.

He took a step forward and tried to persuade him earnestly: "Captain Zhao, please calm down. I swear on my Martial Arts Heart, Jiang You really hasn't set up any heaven-shocking layout in the dark. He is just... simply a bit eccentric."

"If your Northern Border Military Academy retreats now, we will mind our own business."

"Bullshit!"

Zhao Zhenlei not only didn't listen, but his anger grew even more, his copper-bell-like eyes widening round:

"Xie Fuyao! You, a dignified chief of Magic City Martial Arts University, has your martial arts backbone been broken by Jiang You ever since you lost to him in the school selection tournament?! You are actually willing to become his pawn to delay time!"

"Since that coward dares not come out, then I, Old Zhao, will eliminate all of you lackeys! Let's see how long he can hide!"

Zhao Zhenlei waved his big hand, and his Tier 5 early-stage violent blood energy surged into the sky without reservation, letting out a deafening roar:

"Brothers of the Northern Border! Form up! Crush them!"

"Kill—!!!"

The five Northern Border experts behind Zhao Zhenlei demonstrated terrifying military academy execution, instantly rushing forward like five tigers descending a mountain with extremely sharp killing intent!

"Negotiations broken! Prepare to fight!"

Xie Fuyao sighed, his eyes instantly turning cold and sharp, and his SS-rank [Weak Water Three Thousand] erupted, turning into a rushing river surrounding his body.

"Boom!!!"

A chaotic battle broke out instantly!

However, at the moment they truly clashed, the group from Magic City Martial Arts University discovered with extreme despair just how insurmountable the chasm between a Tier 5 Grandmaster and a Peak Fourth-Order was!

"Take this punch!"

Zhao Zhenlei roared wildly, [Absolute Mass] activated instantly, the muscles on his right arm swelling like granite, carrying a terrifying mass of thousands of tons, directly smashing the air with a punch!

"Thunderstorm, End!"

Qiu Yunan adjusted her glasses, the lightning queen going full power, as a bolt of purple wild thunder as thick as a water bucket descended from the sky, striking straight at Zhao Zhenlei's face!

"Ten Thousand Gu Heart Devouring!"

Senior Ji Youyou also waved her jade hand, and a purple-black poisonous mist filled the sky, sweeping out like a sandstorm, attempting to seal off Zhao Zhenlei's senses!

Added to Xie Fuyao's [Weak Water Three Thousand], known as "not even a feather can float," the three top combatants of Magic City joined forces with extreme tacit understanding to launch a fatal blow!

However, in the face of such earth-shattering combined attacks, Zhao Zhenlei did not dodge, but instead revealed a grin of extreme cruelty.

"Break for me!!!"

Zhao Zhenlei's punch didn't hit anyone; instead, he smashed it fiercely into the void in front of him!

"Bang, crack!!!"

Something extremely terrifying happened!

Under the blessing of his monstrous [Absolute Mass], the surrounding gravitational field collapsed instantly!

Qiu Yunan's purple wild thunder was actually "pressed" and bent in mid-air, crashing onto the open ground nearby!

Senior Ji Youyou's poisonous mist, before it could even get within three meters of Zhao Zhenlei, was directly compressed into droplets by that terrifying gravity, "pitter-patter" falling to the ground without even a bubble!

As for Xie Fuyao's Weak Water, it was smashed open by Zhao Zhenlei like a bulldozer, directly forcing a vacuum channel with his physical body!

"Pfft!"

The three main forces suffered from the gravitational backlash, simultaneously groaned, and stumbled back several steps with pale faces.
