Chapter 84 The Power of the Steel-Bone Bull
Although Zheng Hangfei's punches were fast, two fists can't beat four hands!
Amidst the illusory and real fist shadows, he was immediately caught off guard and unable to defend himself.
"Slap! Slap!"
After several crisp sounds, Zheng Hangfei's cheeks were hit by [Mage's Hand] one after another.
His nose stung, and blood immediately gushed out.
"hiss--!"
Zheng Hangfei gasped, the intense pain causing his vision to blur.
Now, he couldn't help but feel regret:
That presumptuous suggestion I just made has now come back to haunt me.
Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Zheng Hangfei's eyes turned bloodshot, and he held nothing back any longer.
He roared and activated the second card.
The LV3 [Once Bloodlust] burst forth with a dazzling red light.
An even more violent crimson aura exploded out!
His muscles suddenly swelled, and his skin turned a bright red.
With a stomp of his foot, the ground cracked, and he soared into the air like a meteor!
"Zhang Qingzhe, die!"
With a loud roar, Zheng Hangfei delivered a powerful punch from mid-air, crashing down with overwhelming force!
"boom!!!"
The violent power collided violently with the [Mage's Hand], creating a deafening explosion!
The LV3 card ultimately prevailed.
The "Mage's Hand" shattered instantly, turning into scattered specks of light.
However, before the punch could finish, it slammed heavily onto the ground!
Asphalt and gravel rained down, leaving a clear crater beneath Zheng Hangfei's feet.
Zhang Qingzhe retreated in time, avoiding this crazy attack.
But the sand and gravel flying everywhere still stung his cheeks.
"Whoosh—!"
The audience erupted in cheers!
This blow, imbued with violent aesthetics, ignited everyone's emotions.
Exclamations, praises, and whistles rose and fell.
The area where betting opened was bustling with activity.
Almost everyone placed their bets on the imposing Zheng Hangfei, hoping he would end the fight within three moves.
Gu Xintong's face was filled with worry.
She desperately wants to talk to Zhang Qingzhe in her dream and urge him to admit defeat and quit!
How could you possibly win against a level 3 [First Bloodlust]?
Lin Wan also pouted and muttered a complaint:
"If only you had lent me your [Werewolf Card]... Now I'm just going to get beaten up."
The professors also believed that the outcome was already decided.
However, they weren't that superficial; most professors felt—
For this gifted young man, experiencing some setbacks might be a good thing.
He won't be so arrogant if he encounters provocation again in the future.
Kang Ping looked smug, as if he had regained his pride, and smugly looked at Xia Qiwei.
But his expression immediately froze.
Because among everyone present, only Xia Qiwei's expression was different.
She still wore that confident smile, looking as if victory was assured.
Kang Ping was a little confused.
The very next second, Zhang Qingzhe responded to his master's expectations of him.
He suddenly drew out a second card and infused it with a powerful surge of magical energy.
The sheer amount of magic energy was so enormous that it aroused the curiosity of all the spectators:
What kind of LV1 card could withstand such a massive amount of infusion?
Then, something even more shocking happened.
A giant bull horn pierced the surface of the card, and then the red and white behemoth crashed to the ground.
The sheer force of its landing was enough to shatter and collapse the highway in the [dream].
The dust that had been raised slowly settled, and everyone could finally see clearly—
A waist-high steel-boned calf stands amidst the vast sea of sand.
Its massive head turned towards Zheng Hangfei, its scimitar-like horns gleaming coldly, and crimson light flickering in its huge bull eyes.
Two streams of hot white breath spewed from its nostrils, and its forehooves pawed at the ground in frustration, sending asphalt and gravel flying everywhere.
Then, it started to accelerate.
Like a runaway war machine, it crashed into Zheng Hangfei.
Zheng Hangfei was stunned.
He thought victory was assured, but the sudden appearance of the summoned beast left him momentarily bewildered.
However, the effect of the [Once Bloodlust] card continues—
His body temperature exceeded 40 degrees Celsius, his blood was surging and boiling inside him, and his brain was simply unable to think calmly.
When he saw the Steel-Bone Bull charging towards him, he actually roared and went to meet it.
The man and the ox collided head-on in the middle of the road, like two fully loaded heavy trucks.
"Click—"
There was a heartbreaking sound of bone cracking.
Zheng Hangfei coughed up a mouthful of blood as a sharp bull horn pierced his chest.
The stands fell into complete silence.
Some people clutched their heads in disbelief, while others stared wide-eyed and held their breath.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Gu Xintong suddenly turned around excitedly and hugged Lin Wan, who was standing next to her.
Lin Wan stared blankly, her original arrogance gradually turning into disappointment.
She had realized that Zhang Qingzhe's refusal of her invitation to a real combat exercise was actually a way of sparing her life.
Even with the LV3 [Wolf Transformation Card] in her hand, she would have no chance against this LV1 [Steelbow Bull].
This thing is a genuine high-risk dragon scourge creature.
Even though it's just a calf, its destructive power is terrifying enough.
-----------------
On the professors' panel, the professors looked at each other in bewilderment.
They also did not expect that a freshman would possess such a terrifying magical pet as the [Steelbow Bull].
"It's a bit too much to let a first-year student possess such a dangerous card..." a professor finally said hesitantly.
"【Steelbow Bull】only appears in high-risk areas, how exactly was it captured?"
Everyone's eyes quietly turned to Xia Qiwei.
Xia Qiwei gave a smug snort, "I caught them for him, so what?"
The professors shook their heads helplessly.
This is exactly the kind of thing you, the reckless "Great Witch," would do.
Kang Ping witnessed this scene and seemed unable to accept reality.
He suddenly stood up and loudly questioned:
"This isn't right! He definitely cheated! [Steelbow Bull] is such a high level, the card used to capture it must be at least LV5! We clearly agreed that we could only use [low-level cards]!"
The other professors pondered for a moment, then looked at the giant beast on the screen that exuded a dangerous aura, and also sensed something unusual.
Everyone glanced at Xia Qiwei again, their eyes filled with distrust.
It seems that this "Great Witch" doesn't have a very good reputation.
At this moment, Dean Zhou sighed softly and finally spoke:
"You guys... have been out of touch with the front lines for too long."
He adjusted his sunglasses and said slowly:
"This [Steelbow Bull] is indeed LV1. The reason is simple—when making the card, a calf that is not yet an adult was deliberately chosen, and the original LV5 [Fel Creation] card was deliberately downgraded to LV1."
Dean Zhou looked at Xia Qiwei and asked gently:
"Is that so, Xia?"
Xia Qiwei nodded, readily admitting:
"That's right. My apprentice isn't a [formal card master] yet, so he can't activate Lv5 cards. Therefore, I want him to train a magical pet from a young age, so that they can grow together and he can even use it for a lifetime."
"Yes! You've done a great job of teaching according to students' aptitudes. Professor Xia, you've put in a lot of effort. You should all learn from this and not always stick to the textbook."
