"Brother Yuan, how about I challenge Jiang Yong first tomorrow? My Savage Bull Mountain-Treading Strike has reached minor accomplishment. If I catch him off guard, I'm sure I can hurt him!"
Watching Jiang Yong leave, Fatty's chubby face flashed with ruthlessness. "That way, when he challenges you, you'll have an easier time dealing with him!"
Under Xu Yuan's guidance, Fatty's Savage Bull Mountain-Treading Strike had already reached minor accomplishment.
But Xu Yuan felt that when Fatty used this martial skill, it ought to be renamed Mount Tai Meteor Drop!
Yes, that wasn't the slightest exaggeration.
When Fatty stomped down from midair, he really was like a small mountain. Its power was tremendous, too, absolutely no weaker than a full-force strike from a skin tempering sixth stage martial artist!
If Jiang Yong really took a hit through carelessness, he might well end up flat on his back.
But with Fatty's current speed, actually hitting Jiang Yong would be quite difficult.
Of course, Xu Yuan didn't need Fatty to serve as his vanguard, either.
Smiling, he hooked an arm around Fatty's shoulders and headed toward the school gates. "No need for all that trouble. He's just someone I've already beaten."
"But he was only at skin-polishing fifth stage last week, and now he's already at sixth stage."
"Haven't I reached skin grinding third stage, too? If I could beat him at fifth stage when I was at second stage, then beating him at sixth stage when I'm at third stage is perfectly reasonable, right?"
"Uh..."
Fatty scratched his head. "That does make sense... So how did your exam go, Brother Yuan? I thought today's paper was pretty hard."
Xu Yuan paused. Had the subject changed that quickly?
Then he gave a confident smile. "Hard? I thought it was really easy. I didn't even have to use my brain."
"Seriously? You're not pulling my leg, are you, Brother Yuan?" Fatty looked doubtful.
His grades were clearly much better than Brother Yuan's. If even he thought it was hard, how could Brother Yuan think it was easy?
"Why would I pull your leg? I really didn't use my brain," Xu Yuan said cheerfully.
He added inwardly that Huang Yun had done all the thinking.
Chatting, the two left the school gates and boarded a bus to the base.
On the bus, Xu Yuan took out his phone and messaged the ten people he was supposed to instruct that day, telling them to hurry to the base and wait for him.
But just as he finished sending the messages and closed his eyes to rest, a sudden tremor stirred in his mind.
This feeling only appeared when Little Blackie took the initiative to contact him. Little Blackie needed his permission before they could communicate.
Don't tell me Zhou Ling discovered him?
Xu Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately connected to Little Blackie. "What's wrong, Little Black?"
"Master, there's a monster!"
Little Blackie's thought reached him, carrying intense terror!
Xu Yuan froze for a moment. What kind of monster? The kind Ultraman beat to a pulp?
Wait, could it be a damn Weird Beast?
A Weird Beast had entered the city?
Xu Yuan immediately activated their shared senses, then sucked in a breath of cold air!
In Little Blackie's field of vision, a gigantic wild boar the size of a truck, with hideous tusks and fur like black steel needles, was chewing on a human leg!
With every chew, bloody fluid burst from its mouth!
Beside the boar lay an overturned bus and a group of bloodstained people in a panicked frenzy.
This was an intersection, and vehicles were still approaching from all four directions. But upon seeing the situation from a distance, every vehicle stopped, and the drivers got out and fled.
Screams filled the air!
"After the person Master told me to follow got on this bus, I jumped onto the roof to follow him. But when the bus reached here, the monster charged out and flipped it over!"
Without waiting for Xu Yuan to ask, Little Blackie explained what had happened. "Then that person jumped out of the bus. The monster tried to eat him, so he grabbed someone at random, threw them to the monster, and ran away!"
What a beast!
"Little Black, look at this Weird Beast's eyes!" Xu Yuan said.
Although he could share Little Blackie's five senses, he couldn't control them. He could only see whatever Little Blackie looked at.
Right now, Little Blackie's attention wasn't on the boar's eyes, so he couldn't see them clearly.
"Okay!"
Little Blackie focused on the boar's eyes, and Xu Yuan's scalp went numb!
Green pupils!
This was a Weird Beast comparable to bone tempering ninth stage. Then all these people at the scene...
Just as that chilling thought arose, seven or eight black dots suddenly appeared in Little Blackie's field of vision!
The dots rapidly approached and grew larger. They were actually eight figures sprinting toward the scene!
Within a breath, the two fastest among them had crossed several hundred meters and slammed into the scene like cannonballs!
Xu Yuan actually recognized one of them. It was Chen Rui, the Martial Suppression Department official who had previously come to invigilate at No. 3 Middle School!
The other wore Divine Guard Army armor and carried a massive axe on his back. He was probably an expert from the City Guard Battalion!
As the two arrived, the six figures behind them reached the scene one after another!
Lin Yuan, Liu Yun, the poker-faced teacher...
They were the martial arts teachers from the various schools who had just been invigilating at No. 3 Middle School!
"Anyone below bone forging fourth stage, rescue the people! Fourth stage and above, help Commander Shen and me deal with this beast!"
Chen Rui's voice rang out. Then he clenched his fists, and three metal claws over a foot long sprang from each sleeve!
Lin Yuan was at bone forging third stage. Without wasting words, he immediately joined the other three teachers below bone forging fourth stage in evacuating the ordinary people at the scene!
Liu Yun and the poker-faced teacher stood together, forming a triangle with Chen Rui and Commander Shen to surround the gigantic boar!
By now, the gigantic boar had finished eating that person, and its lurid green eyes fixed on Commander Shen, who stood directly in front of it!
"You beast, you want to eat me, too?"
Commander Shen took the massive axe from his back and suddenly roared, "Attack!"
As his voice fell, the concrete beneath his feet instantly cracked. As though defying the laws of physics, he shot into the air in an instant, gripping the massive axe in both hands and cleaving down at the boar's head!
On the left, Chen Rui used some unknown movement technique. His figure moved like a phantom, reaching the boar's belly in two flickering movements, his coldly gleaming claws slashing toward its abdomen!
On the right, Liu Yun wielded her sword and the poker-faced teacher gripped his saber, attacking the boar's right flank and belly!
The scene delivered no small shock to Xu Yuan!
The four were dozens or even a hundred times smaller than the gigantic boar, yet they charged in so fearlessly. Seeing such a scene for the first time made Xu Yuan's soul tremble!
"Roar!!!"
The boar roared furiously, unleashing a sound wave visible to the naked eye!
Then it violently swung its head, its skyward-pointing tusks colliding with Commander Shen's massive axe!
Clang!!!
An explosive metallic crash rang out, and the massive axe flew sideways along with Commander Shen!
But having blocked the frontal attack, the boar could no longer guard its sides!
Riiip!!!
Chen Rui's claws plunged into the boar's belly, then slashed violently outward, opening several gashes in its abdomen. Scarlet blood splashed out!
On the other side, Liu Yun and the poker-faced teacher were no pushovers either. With sword and saber, each cut two deep wounds into the boar's flank and belly, and blood immediately gushed like a spring!
"Squeal!!!"
The boar let out an earth-shaking squeal and turned its enormous body, sweeping its hideous tusks violently toward Liu Yun and the poker-faced teacher.
It seemed he also knew these two were a little weaker.
"Not good!"
Their expressions changed, and each held their weapon across their chest!
The next instant, dull impacts rang out. Both were sent flying backward, spraying blood in midair!
But while the boar attacked the two, Chen Rui hadn't been idle!
"Awooo!"
A faint, almost indistinct wolf howl suddenly rang out. Chen Rui swung his claws, and claw rays several feet long appeared, slicing into the boar's belly like a knife through tofu!
This time, not only did blood spray out, but a length of intestine even spilled free!
On the other side, Commander Shen launched another attack after landing!
He hurled his door-sized axe, which spun and whistled through the air before hacking into one of the boar's forelegs!
He followed close behind, stepped onto the axe handle, and used it to launch himself into the air, smashing a fist toward the boar's head!
Thud!!!
His fist landed, and a ring of air exploded across the boar's head!
Immediately afterward, its head slammed toward the ground, throwing its entire enormous body off balance.
"A perfect chance! Hold it down!" Commander Shen roared!
Chen Rui understood at once. Abandoning his attack on the boar's abdomen, he flickered in front of its face and grabbed a tusk in each hand. His muscles and bones crackled explosively as he forcibly stopped it!
Commander Shen snatched up his door-sized axe and hacked with all his strength at the boar's neck!
Splat!
The enormous axe sank entirely into the boar's neck. The next instant, scarlet blood sprayed from the cleaved wound like a fountain!
The boar began its death throes, its four hooves kicking madly. In the blink of an eye, the once-flat concrete road was churned into pits and hollows!
Chen Rui clung to its tusks without letting go, and Commander Shen came to help after delivering his axe strike!
Both knew very well that if they let go now and allowed this beast to escape, it would inevitably cause widespread casualties!
Only after nearly ten minutes did the boar gradually stop struggling, its green pupils losing their luster.
Blood trickled from the corners of both Chen Rui's and Commander Shen's mouths. Clearly, holding this thing down had not been easy for them.
At that moment, the bus Xu Yuan was riding happened to arrive near the intersection.
"Why is traffic so backed up ahead?"
"Was there an accident?"
The passengers all looked curiously at the densely packed vehicles ahead.
But Xu Yuan, who already knew what had happened up ahead, felt his heart suddenly thump!
He had long had an idea, but had never had a chance to test it. Now, it seemed that chance had arrived!
Xu Yuan jumped straight out of the bus window and sprinted toward the scene!
"Heaven-Shaking Art, don't you damn well disappoint me!"
