Encountering the Man in Black Again, All Trump Cards Revealed

School let out that afternoon!

After parting ways with Cao Shuai, Qin Hao hurried home.

When he reached a secluded stretch of road, a man in black suddenly jumped out and blocked his path.

"Hmph! Kid, I've finally caught you alone!"

Qin Hao narrowed his eyes and looked at the man in black. "You were the one following me last time, weren't you?"

"That's right, kid. Tell me, were you the one who killed my second and third brothers?"

Hearing this, Qin Hao immediately guessed that the man might have something to do with the two martial artists he had killed the night before last.

"You've got the wrong person, haven't you? I haven't killed anyone. Besides, I only awakened my ability a few days ago. How would I dare kill anyone? You've got the wrong person!"

"Hmph, kid, what I awakened was the Water-Type Beastification Ability, Blackwater Night Hound. That gave me a very sensitive nose, and I smelled your scent at the scene of the crime."

Qin Hao finally understood how he had been exposed. So this guy was a dog.

"But I really am just an ordinary student at Apprentice First Stage. How could I possibly kill anyone?"

"Hmph! Still trying to talk your way out of it? I detected my second and third brothers' scents lingering on you!"

Now that the man had said that much, Qin Hao stopped hiding it. In any case, the big shot Song Xing, the dean of Divine Wind Academy, was protecting him in secret, so he had nothing to fear.

"Ah, in the end, I couldn't escape a dog's nose!"

Qin Hao said flatly.

"Hmph, of course not. Wait, who the fuck are you calling a dog?"

"You, of course!"

Qin Hao said impatiently.

"You're the dog! Your whole family are dogs! Today, I'll kill you and avenge my second and third brothers."

With that, the man in black instantly activated his beastification ability and transformed into a big black dog.

"Tch, look at you. And you still say you're not a dog?"

"Bastard, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

The big black dog spoke in a human voice, cursing with a humanlike expression on his face before lunging at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao had originally thought Song Xing would come straight out and take down the big black dog, but he still hadn't appeared.

Qin Hao was utterly speechless. What happened to that promise to protect me all the time?

As he thought this, he hurriedly dodged to the side.

This big black dog was no pushover. He was probably around Martial Artist Third Tier in strength.

He was even stronger than the two brothers Qin Hao had killed that night.

After dodging for a long time, Qin Hao had come close to being bitten several times.

By now, there were several holes in Qin Hao's clothes, all bitten by the big black dog in front of him.

"Hmph! Kid, you've got some strength. Next, have a taste of my Blackwater Ability."

The big black dog opened his mouth, and with a "pfft," a stream of black liquid formed into the shape of an arrow and shot fiercely toward Qin Hao.

There was no other way. The blackwater arrow was extremely fast, and Qin Hao, as he was now, couldn't dodge it.

So Qin Hao used his Spatial Type ability.

He quickly took the arrow into his space, then released it behind the black figure's head.

But an astonishing sight appeared. When the blackwater touched the big black dog, it turned into liquid and was absorbed.

"Hmph, no wonder! I didn't expect you to be a Spatial Type. I've struck it rich now! As long as I deliver you to the Satan Organization, I can get cultivation resources from another world. Hahahaha!"

Having discovered that Qin Hao had a Spatial Ability, the big black dog grew even more frenzied. His goal had changed: he no longer wanted to kill Qin Hao, but capture him.

As it happened, the big black dog's blackwater wouldn't hurt him, which somewhat countered Qin Hao's spatial ability.

With no other choice, Qin Hao could only use his own skills, then use his spatial ability to launch sneak attacks on the big black dog.

After releasing several Fireball Arts as a smokescreen, Qin Hao instantly unleashed Icebound Ten Thousand Miles through his spatial ability.

This was a technique Qin Hao had worked out himself: using his spatial ability to teleport a skill close to the big black dog, producing the same effect as if he had used it right beside him.

Sure enough, in an instant, the big black dog failed to dodge and was frozen solid.

Immediately afterward, Qin Hao quickly unleashed Spatial Slash.

Unfortunately, the Spatial Slash had only just formed when the big black dog's freeze duration ended.

The Freeze duration of Icebound Ten Thousand Miles varied according to the difference in strength.

Qin Hao was only at Apprentice First Stage. He could freeze someone at Martial Artist First Rank for around three seconds, but someone at Martial Artist Third Tier for only one second.

Just like now, Spatial Slash had only just taken shape when the big black dog broke free of the ice and dodged the fatal blow.

Bang!

One of the big black dog's ears was sliced off by the white spatial blade, and blood immediately flowed.

"Kid, what kind of monster are you? You have both a Spatial Ability and an Ice-Type Ability!"

The big black dog asked with a humanlike expression of shock.

Qin Hao didn't answer. Instead, he quickly unleashed another bolt of lightning and used spatial transfer to send it onto the big black dog.

Sure enough, the big black dog couldn't defend against it. He dodged to the left, only for another attack to come from the right.

Next, Qin Hao unleashed Icebound Ten Thousand Miles again, freezing him in place. Then he sent a Spatial Slash from the left and unleashed his final trump cards at him from the front, back, and right.

These trump cards were all daggers Qin Hao had put into his space the night before, and their blades were coated with poison.

After being frozen for one second, the big black dog quickly thawed, and a white spatial blade came slashing at him from his left.

In his haste, he couldn't worry about anything else and dodged backward without hesitation.

Sure enough, although Spatial Slash was slow, it took only three seconds. The big black dog had spent one second thawing and needed two seconds to dodge, so the Spatial Slash naturally grazed his body, slicing off a chunk of flesh.

The ten poisoned daggers behind him stabbed at him. Although they failed to pierce his defenses, the ten poisoned daggers in front struck his wound.

"Damn it, kid! I didn't expect you to have so many different abilities at once. I was careless. Looks like I'll have to... Ah, there's poison on your daggers?"

The answer he received was Icebound Ten Thousand Miles followed by Spatial Slash.

Because he had been poisoned, the big black dog failed to dodge the spatial blade once the Freeze wore off. He was sliced in two, and his body turned into the corpse of the man in black.

Only then did Qin Hao slump to the ground and finally breathe a sigh of relief.

With that, the man in black was dead for good.

Even in death, he couldn't believe that he, a Martial Artist Third Tier expert, had been killed by an apprentice who had only just awakened his ability.

Of course, Qin Hao had nearly exhausted his trump cards and had even used up all his spiritual energy. If the man in black still hadn't died, Qin Hao would have been the one to die.

Only then did Song Xing appear, a look of shock on his face.

"Qin Hao, y-y-y-you, what's going on with you? How do you have so many different abilities?"

Qin Hao was speechless. He thought that if Song Xing had come out earlier, he wouldn't have had to expose all his trump cards.

And so, Qin Hao was once again taken to the Warrior Research Center by Song Xing...
