Chapter 134 Brutality

“Kid, do you even know who you’re talking to?” a young man with short hair said, his face clouded.

The other good-looking young man bellowed, “Why are you wasting time here? I will write my name Wang Muqiu backward if we don’t beat the hell out of him!”

“Knock it off. Kid, go ahead!”

The bulky young man’s eyes were filled with chilling coldness. He paid no heed to his pals. Astral powers surged out of him violently. He didn’t make any moves and yet, patterns indicating augmentation skills knitted with astral powers seeped out from all around his body and covered him up.

This mastery of augmentation astral patterns was enough to demonstrate the power of a star student at school.

Since the Bear was being serious, the other students stopped joking around. They stepped back to leave enough room for the Bear.

Su Ping challenged them to attack him together. However, those students would not gang up against a nobody when they were so much more powerful. They would humiliate their academy by doing so and people would laugh their heads off.

While Dai Yan walked back, he snarled savagely. “Teach him a lesson!”

The others stood about seven to eight meters away. They watched Su Ping with cool-hearted eyes, waiting for him to beg for mercy.

Su Ping was not happy since the others were stepping away. He had made his intention perfectly clear. Why would they want to fight him one by one? This was a waste of time!

“Come on. Do it!” The bulky young man growled at Su Ping who remained still.

The bulky young man would not be so arrogant if he were facing Ye Hao. However, apart from that Ye Hao, there was no worthy opponent as the bulky young man saw it. Besides, he was ready. He told Su Ping to make the first move to show the latter that having a head start would be of no use to him!

Su Ping cast his eyes on him. Coldness rose in his eyes. “Piss off!”

He didn’t even lift his hand. Hardly had his voice faded away when the bulky young man was knocked away and smashed into the person behind him.

This person was a star student as well. He reacted fast. After the initial shock that lasted for a mere instant, he raised his hands to catch the bulky young man. However, the heavy force spread across from the bulky young man surprised him.

He carried the bulky man in his hands and was forced backward several steps before he managed to stabilize himself and stop. Everything happened in a split of a second. Everyone was watching but none of them saw how Su Ping did it.

“What…?”

They all stood there, dumbstruck.

For all this time, Luo Fengtian’s expressions remained unchanged. But at this moment, surprise froze on his face. Soon, something came to his mind that frightened him. But he dismissed that idea quickly.

After all, Su Ping appeared to be quite young.

Which student could reach that level at such a young age?

If a student could make this accomplishment, then that student could win the championship of the global Elite League without participating in any match!

Completely stupefied, the bulky young man stared at Su Ping who was so close to him just a second ago but was over 10 meters away right then. The bulky young man didn’t see Su Ping take action, either. In that previous moment, he felt a state of weightlessness. By the time he came back to his senses, there was no place that he could hold on to. He couldn’t avoid being knocked away.

If it weren’t for that person that caught him, he would have fallen embarrassingly.

After a short moment of silence, the bulky young man finally felt his feet touch the ground. He was still in shock because Su Ping’s attack was utterly strange. In this one round alone, the bulky young man was at a disadvantage.

Evidently, he was facing a formidable opponent, not someone that was slightly better than the average student that they had thought.

“I didn’t know that apart from Ye Hao, we could find a brutal guy like you in the Phoenix Peak Academy.” The bulky young man collected himself. Instead of retreating, he was burning with the desire to fight and his blood was boiling.

He took one step forward and the ground was trembling. The pet space opened up in front of him rapidly. A Clawed Golden Bear landed on the ground. This was a pet that had an eighth-rank bloodline. Right then, this Clawed Golden Bear had reached the upper position of the fifth-rank, and was quite aggressive!

Roar! As soon as the Clawed Golden Bear came out, it received a clear sense of its master’s wrath. The Clawed Golden Bear bellowed at Su Ping.

The loud roar was brimming with rage and threat. A bear roar was an average skill of deterrent nature. Nevertheless, this skill could still terrorize weaker pets of the same rank.

The sound of this roar was loud and clear. Su Ping felt the tranquil pool of blood inside of him was disturbed slightly. What he felt at the cultivation sites was woken up.

That feeling of madness and killing free from inhibitions.

He would not mind death, nor harm, just to kill!

Su Ping didn’t realize this himself but the look in his eyes had changed.

Instead of a normal, restrained look, his eyes had changed to what they would look like when he fought battles in the cultivation sites.

Cold, bloodthirsty, cruel, and indifferent!

It was as if those eyes looked down on all life forms, as if none of them mattered!

The Clawed Golden Bear that had just finished roaring established eye contact with its game. The anger in its simple mind was frozen by something. An unspeakable feeling of danger gave the Clawed Golden Bear a chilly feeling.

The Clawed Golden Bear felt such danger that it wanted to turn and run away with its master!

While the Clawed Golden Bear remained still, Su Ping made his move.

He didn’t summon any pets. He stomped on the ground and shot himself out like a human-sized cannon. He was so fast that his speed could match a pet of the fifth rank with a particular skill in speed!

With lightning speed, Su Ping had reached the Clawed Golden Bear.

The Clawed Golden Bear was well within his reach!

Their faces almost rubbed against each other.

One was a good-looking human face and the other face had a huge bear mouth with sharp fangs. Anyone would believe that the human should be the one afraid.

Yet, fear was found in the bear’s face. Those sharp fangs were shaking.

Bang! Su Ping punched out instantly.

His move was violent as he punched the Clawed Golden Bear’s belly. With some cracking sound of bones breaking, the Clawed Golden Bear hunched its back. Its internal organs must have ruptured.

Amid many battles of different magnitude, Su Ping had become rather familiar with the physical structure of beasts. With one punch, he had badly mauled the Clawed Golden Bear and disabled it.

But this wasn’t a fatal death. If he were aiming for the kill, Su Ping would have hacked below the Clawed Golden Bear’s neck with his hand. His nails were sharper than knives and he could tear open skins and pierce into opponents’ heads with his nails.

He put down his hand. The Clawed Golden Bear had not fallen. It was still shaking. Taking advantage of this moment, Su Ping went past the Clawed Golden Bear and reached the bulky young man. The bulky young man had not realized that had happened. When he saw Su Ping, the bulky young man was taken aback. Then, out of fear, the bulky young man raised his hand to defend himself.

But Su Ping was faster.

Taking advantage of the window of time when the bulky young man was raising his hands, Su Ping grabbed the bulky young man by the neck. Then Su Ping threw the young man away. The latter was smashed into another person nearby.

Those whose sights were not blocked by the Clawed Golden Bear witnessed what had happened and they were appalled. How did Su Ping defeat a fifth-rank Clawed Golden Bear with his bare hands?

The Clawed Golden Bear was a pet known for its brute force and strong defense. Among pets of the same rank, Clawed Golden Bears could be regarded as remarkable. The young man called Bear had been devoting much effort to train this Clawed Golden Bear. Even though the Clawed Golden Bear was at the fifth rank, it could compete against a pet at the upper position of the sixth rank!

How could such a pet fall under the impact of one punch from Su Ping?

What was that?

This method of combat was utterly odd.

Generally speaking, battle pet warriors should hide behind pets to assist them, right? Since when would battle pet warriors beat up pets themselves?!

Standing on the side, Luo Fengtian was astonished. What happened just then disrupted his world view. No average student could defeat a fifth-rank Clawed Golden Bear with his bare hands!

Luo Fengtian would find this acceptable if Su Ping were an eighth-rank battle pet warrior. But Su Ping appeared to be of their age… There was no way he was an eighth-rank battle pet warrior!

Could it be that Su Ping was one of those body-skill battle pet warriors that were few and far between and unpopular?

But, hadn’t body-skill battle pet warriors died out?

There was little time for Luo Fengtian to indulge in his thoughts. Even Bear had been defeated by Su Ping. Luo Fengtian had to solve the matter himself. Otherwise, they would be too ashamed to enter the gate of the Phoenix Peak Academy if they were defeated right outside the gate when they had been invited for an academic exchange.

Whoosh!

Luo Fengtian released the astral powers that he had been hiding. He unleashed his full power. Faced with a powerful enemy like Su Ping, to fake any longer would mean to court death.

When he released his astral powers in full, the others around him were shocked.

The strength of his astral powers had reached the sixth rank!

They were from the same school and Luo Fengtian had reached the sixth rank!!

One more rank forward and Luo Fengtian would become an advanced battle pet warrior!!

With a sixth-rank strength, Luo Fengtian could be comparable to some senior elite explorers!

The number of advanced battle pet warriors… was small in the entire base city.

As for eighth-rank battle pet warriors, the number was within the two digits!
