The Boxing Rabbit was instantly provoked by the Thousand Changes Silkworm's taunt. Its eyes turned an even deeper crimson, gleaming with an eerie light. It clenched its fists tightly, producing a series of cracking sounds.
The faint pain in its body actually faded away at that moment.
Its muscles swelled, and its entire body brimmed with strength.
What had once been a skinny rabbit now looked like a hulking muscleman.
He Qingyuan froze for a moment, then seemed to realize something. He taunted Ye Bai without restraint. "Ye Bai, this Boxing Rabbit has entered a Berserk state."
"This is a state that can only be entered with a one-in-a-thousand chance."
"Sorry, but I won this match."
He Qingyuan looked utterly smug.
"Go, Boxing Rabbit."
In its Berserk state, the Boxing Rabbit felt better than ever. It clenched its fists and walked toward the Thousand Changes Silkworm step by step.
The Thousand Changes Silkworm stood still, its round eyes spinning in every direction.
It seemed unable to understand why the Boxing Rabbit before it had suddenly changed so drastically in size.
This Boxing Rabbit looked rather delicious. A rather undignified stream of drool trickled from the Thousand Changes Silkworm's mouth.
In He Qingyuan's eyes, the Thousand Changes Silkworm's inaction meant that it had been cowed by the Boxing Rabbit's imposing aura.
"Hahaha, your pet beast has been intimidated by the Boxing Rabbit's aura."
"It is so scared that it is drooling. How disgusting."
He Qingyuan wore a look of utter disdain, as if he had seen something filthy.
"Your time is up. Boxing Rabbit, use Heavy Punch."
A thin layer of white light spread across the Boxing Rabbit's fist as it swung heavily at the Thousand Changes Silkworm's head.
A sharp sound tore through the air. Trailing a faint white glow, the punch made some students unable to bear watching any longer, and they closed their eyes. They were afraid of seeing the Thousand Changes Silkworm's head burst beneath a single punch from the Boxing Rabbit.
Bang.
The Boxing Rabbit threw its punch. Intense pain surged from its fist, while its own body was sent flying backward uncontrollably.
Everyone had studied physics. According to the principle of relativity, the greater the force, the greater the counterforce.
Like a tattered sack, the Boxing Rabbit rolled several times across the ground, its body coated in dust. At last, it plunged headfirst into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and smoke.
A mocking smile appeared in Ye Bai's eyes. "He Qingyuan, I told you to pay attention in class."
"The Chameleon Silkworm's head is the hardest part of its body, and the Thousand Changes Silkworm is the same."
"Of all places, you chose the Thousand Changes Silkworm's head."
What a joke. The Thousand Changes Silkworm's defense was several times stronger than the Chameleon Silkworm's. Even the Drill Ant could not break through its defenses. Did he think this First Order Level Three Boxing Rabbit alone could do it?
From the moment the wager began, Ye Bai had already predicted the outcome.
He Qingyuan's pupils widened. Lost? The Boxing Rabbit had actually lost?
A tremendous fear surged into his heart.
Not only had he failed to defeat Ye Bai, but he had also lost his Insect Stone and Resource Box.
That was not even the most important part. The invitation from the Dragon Soaring Auction House was what truly mattered.
He had secretly taken that invitation from his father to show off before his classmates.
Yet he had used it as a wager and lost it to Ye Bai.
Remorse and regret swallowed He Qingyuan like a tsunami.
He clutched his hair tightly with both hands, his back hunched over.
If the Lineage learned of this, his standing within the Lineage would surely plummet like a stone falling from a cliff.
The resources and pet beasts he had been promised might all be gone, and without the Resource Box, he would miss the opportunity for early development.
That was not even the most fatal part. He had lost the Dragon Soaring Auction House invitation. His father would beat him to death.
His eyes reddened. He looked like a gambler who had lost until his eyes were bloodshot. "You must have cheated."
"Otherwise, how could a Chameleon Silkworm defeat a Boxing Rabbit after it went Berserk?"
The moment the students heard He Qingyuan's words, an uproar erupted.
He Qingyuan really could not accept losing.
So many pairs of eyes had watched the match from every possible angle, and high-definition cameras had recorded the entire battle.
He Qingyuan insisted that Ye Bai had cheated? Did he take them all for dead?
"He Qingyuan, you can eat whatever you want, but you cannot say whatever you want. This is naked slander."
"You say I cheated. Do you think all the students present are blind?"
"If you cannot afford to lose, then admit it. Do not open your mouth and bark nonsense."
The students felt as if Ye Bai's words had stabbed them hard.
At that moment, Zhang Lingxue stepped forward. She crouched down and checked the Boxing Rabbit's condition. It was obvious that the Boxing Rabbit had already fallen unconscious. Ye Bai and his Thousand Changes Silkworm had won the match.
"Ye Bai has won the wager battle."
"According to the rules of the wager battle, student He Qingyuan, you must hand over your Resource Box and your mid-grade Insect Stone."
"As well as the Dragon Soaring Auction House invitation."
Zhang Lingxue said calmly, her hands on her hips.
To be honest, she did not pity He Qingyuan. He had brought this upon himself.
Although Ye Bai's awakened talent was not outstanding, he was a promising research talent and counted as one of Sacred Mountain Middle School's seed players.
Principal Liu Hang had even planned to have Ye Bai participate in the Young Qilin Cup and bring back an award certificate.
If the Lineage behind He Qingyuan had not coveted Ye Bai's resources and used dirty methods to force Ye Bai to put up his Resource Box for the wager, perhaps He Qingyuan would have lost only a Second Order Insect Stone.
Sacred Mountain Middle School's Resource Box rewards were quite generous. At the very least, they could allow a pet beast to break free from its juvenile stage, not to mention that the Resource Box might contain treasures from Principal Zhang Dashan's treasure vault.
His Lineage had gambled that, considering Ye Bai was first in the entire school and had saved Li Weiyang's life, Principal Zhang Dashan would secretly hide good items in the Resource Box as compensation for Ye Bai.
In the end, they had lifted a stone only to smash their own feet, tried to steal a chicken and lost a handful of rice. He Qingyuan had lost even more.
At that thought, a flash of cold light passed through Zhang Lingxue's eyes.
Sacred Mountain Middle School was a sacred academy. It absolutely could not allow such petty, underhanded schemes to take place.
Methods like using a student's family to threaten them had to be eradicated.
"Hahaha."
He Qingyuan looked utterly deranged.
"Ye Bai, even if I lost, your pet beast shop has been sealed by the Street Management Office. I only lost a Resource Box and an invitation, while you lost the most precious thing you own."
"I advise you to hand over the Resource Box in your possession obediently. Otherwise, the pet beasts in your pet beast shop may never come back."
He Qingyuan shouted arrogantly.
Ye Bai's mocking smile had provoked him, and the words in his heart spilled straight from his mouth.
"Has He Qingyuan gone insane? He actually dared to say something like that in public."
"Is he planning to rob him outright?"
"Is the school not going to do anything?"
He Qingyuan's words were like a huge stone crashing into a tranquil lake, smashing up the fish hiding beneath its surface.
Some students with no background clenched their fists tightly, their palms slick with sweat.
Would they also be like Ye Bai, having their resources seized through all kinds of methods?
If they stood by coldly now, then when it was their turn, would others also stand aside with folded arms?
This had completely touched upon everyone else's interests.
Zhang Lingxue stepped forward and said loudly, "Students, please rest assured. No one can take away your Resource Boxes. The school will watch this matter closely. Once such incidents are discovered, the school will stop them."
"No one can threaten you."
"The school will always be your support. You can always trust that the school stands on your side."
