Sneak Attack from Behind! (Fourth Update)

Sneak Attack from Behind! (Fourth Update)

Sam had arrived and joined the battle.

The sudden male voice put everyone present on guard, including Wu Zhangkong. He had not sensed any outsider approaching at all. Or rather... was this Liu Ying's soul skill?

Everyone's attention, including that of the students running laps around the field, was drawn to the dazzling blaze. They all stared at the flames.

They had already seen a beautiful girl arrive from outside the academy earlier. It seemed she had come to enroll?

"But I never expected Teacher Wu to have Tang Wulin test her. That girl's in trouble." Xie Xie's confident voice echoed among the students. Only someone who had faced Tang Wulin head-on knew how strong he was.

He was absolutely no ordinary opponent!

But perhaps Xie Xie had overlooked one question... what if this girl was even stronger than Tang Wulin?

Once the dazzling firelight fully faded, the girl from before was nowhere to be seen. In her place stood a suit of armor gleaming with silver light!

"This is... Battle Armor? No, that's not right. What is this?"

Even with Wu Zhangkong's experience, he failed to recognize Liu Ying's Martial Soul at this moment and could only watch the battle in silence.

In the end, East Sea's number-one Herta fan could only helplessly remark, "As expected of someone introduced by Herta!"

But in Tang Wulin's eyes, it was completely different. She had merely been a girl about his height, yet in the blink of an eye, she had transformed into a massive armored giant...

"So cool!"

Staring at the incomparably cool armor before him, Tang Wulin's eyes sparkled with little stars. He even paused in the middle of his attack.

Thank you for the compliment. However, the battle has already begun. Please prepare yourself immediately.

"Ah! Y-yes!"

Being lectured by such a cool machine somehow made Tang Wulin happy. No one knew why.

After readjusting himself, Tang Wulin's gaze turned resolute. "For the sake of my meals, I can only ask you to lose here!"

However, the only response Tang Wulin received was the sound of machinery operating, followed by...

Command - Flash Ignition Propulsion

Rider Punch!

Her entire right arm transformed into a mass of flames. Liu Ying—or rather, Sam—shot straight toward Tang Wulin with the aid of her thrusters, throwing a blazing punch at tremendous speed.

The two had already been close together, and with Sam's propulsion, she reached Tang Wulin almost instantly. Left with no other choice, he wrapped Blue Silver Grass around his arms to block the blow.

Boom—!

Under the immense impact, Tang Wulin staggered back more than ten steps before slowly coming to a stop. Yet the Blue Silver Grass wrapped around him had suffered little damage. Only a small portion had been charred, and it was recovering at a visible rate.

As expected of the Goddess of Life's power. This Blue Silver Grass seemed to possess a certain resistance to fire as well?

Seeing this, Liu Ying's gaze sharpened. She had not expected this to be so troublesome.

Yao Lan's Herta Clone had lived at Eastsea Academy for some time and was fairly familiar with the standards here. Thus, the Liu Ying clone created according to this place's standards was not particularly strong, or rather...

At least for now, it did not possess that much power.

Looks like I need to get serious!

Command - Skyfire Bombardment

Rider Kick!

Sam leaped high into the air with the aid of her thrusters, then assumed the pose for a Rider Kick and bombarded the ground while wreathed in flames.

Such a wide-open attack naturally did not escape Tang Wulin's notice. Though the surrounding temperature was rapidly rising, his stamina remained largely intact, and he dodged the move with ease.

But was that the end of it?

Of course not!

Though the attack had yet to land, Sam's energy had already filled up!

It was time to use that!

"Firefly Mark IV, ready. I will seize victory for myself!"

Firefly Mark IV - Complete Combustion

The armor's appearance rapidly changed. The crimson flames once hidden in its chest now swirled around its body, even forming two cape-like trails behind it?

"Wow! It transformed?"

Not only Tang Wulin, but even the students running around the field had their attention completely captured. They intended to see this girl's true strength.

"So this is your strength? It's really incredible!" Tang Wulin's eyes sparkled with little stars once more. After all, what boy could refuse such cool armor?

But Tang Wulin also understood that he could not remain where he was. The greatest respect he could show an opponent was to fight with everything he had!

"In that case, I won't hold back!"

Blue Silver Domain, Entangle!

The entangling attack released by the original Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could, at most, restrain an enemy before following up with other skills. But Tang Wulin was no longer the same as before.

He directly released his domain, causing Blue Silver Grass to sprout from every spot on the field that Liu Ying had burned earlier. Under Tang Wulin's control, it rapidly grew longer.

It really did look disgusting, like a mass of tentacles growing from the ground... For some reason, Liu Ying suddenly began worrying about Tang Wulin's future wife as she watched the scene before her... Would something really happen?

Ordinary people truly would not be able to withstand such tough and powerful Blue Silver Grass!

However, it was time to pull some weeds!

Dead Star Overload

"I will... set the starry sea ablaze!"

Two glowing swords suddenly appeared in Sam's hands, while fierce flames erupted behind her.

Clearly, she intended to decide the battle with a single move.

As the two Green Lights charged forward, a violent explosion erupted in the center of the field. Everyone was deeply interested in the outcome of the battle.

After the smoke finally dispersed, Tang Wulin and Sam had both abandoned any unnecessary means of attack. They directly gripped each other's hands and began a contest of strength.

"Go, Wulin! Knock that guy down!"

"You absolutely can't lose!"

The nearby students even began cheering Tang Wulin on, shouting at the tops of their lungs.

Yet only one person in the entire crowd remained silent: Wu Zhangkong. At the instant they began wrestling, he seemed to have spotted a figure hiding within the still-unsettled smoke and dust...

"Ahhh! I'm going to win!!!"

Staring at the armored giant before him, Tang Wulin began exerting force through his hands. Relying on his immense strength and endurance, he forcefully pushed Sam back a step, but...

Thud!

Just as Tang Wulin focused on his contest against his opponent, something suddenly struck the back of his head.

Caught completely off guard, Tang Wulin was knocked unconscious by the blow and collapsed onto the field. Meanwhile, Sam before him gradually dissolved into flames...

The silver-haired girl held a piece of hard silver metal in her hand. With a faint smile on her face, she watched Wu Zhangkong approach.

"Teacher Wu, I won."

It was noon, and I was a little sleepy, but I kept writing.
