Dark Moon Era - Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Orston’s Show

Orston was a little peeved, but he still walked towards the iron cage nonchalantly. He would be the first to deemed the wild beast that he faced was not powerful enough.

Was the thunder flower frenzy bull weak by any means?

Tang Ling would never assume as such. Although its name was rather dull, other than ‘frenzy’, it had a floral representation in its name.

However, in this era, Tang Ling once heard the hunters say that not all flowers represented beauty and kindness. Moreover, the term ‘thunder flower’ represented the exploding thunderbolt patterns on the bull’s body which resembled a blooming flower.

It was not just strong, but it was also one of the species that had the highest chance of evolving into a vicious beast.

During its normal form, its strength, speed, and defense already surpassed the other common bull species. The best way to best the bull in a fight would be to determine the outcome before it got angry.

Otherwise, should it enter its frenzied state, all its stats would increase by a third of the original capabilities, and as its anger accumulated, the higher its stats would rise.

It could even match the weakest king beasts out there.

Although thunder flower frenzy bulls would sometimes appear in the forest of the Secondary Safety Zone, none of which were in their frenzied state, a frenzied bull had never appeared, not even once.

How powerful would Orston be?

Tang Ling had always been curious about Orston and Yu’s strength. Their performances certainly surpassed their peers by a mile.

Whistling, Orston ambled into the iron cage.

The guard outside the cage was a little hesitant when he locked the gate, but he was greeted by Orston’s glare.

The thunder flower frenzy bull was pushing its head against the bar in the north corner, so it was not able to spot Orston for the time being. However, Orston whistled frivolously and attracted its attention.

Turning around, the bull saw a foolish young man with both hands crossed behind his head and sizing it up. The gaze of the young man reeked of contempt.

Although the thunder flower frenzy bull had insanity embedded in its genes, it possessed some level of intellect as well, so it was able to understand the meaning of Orston’s gaze to a certain extent.

Without a second thought, the bull lowered its head and charged towards him.

A strong wind blew in the cage and trailed the bull as it sprinted forward.

The most fearsome thing about the thunder flower frenzy bull was its charging speed. Its explosive charge could easily surpass a grown man’s speed by more than three times.

Coupled with the horns that were comparable to composite alloy and the natural strength of a bull, the impact of its attack was not that difficult to picture.

However, even with such a fearsome onslaught coming at him, Orston yawned. Before he even closed his mouth, he scuttled quickly and moved two meters away from the spot that he was standing in, hence dodging the bull.

Tang Ling slightly widened his eyes. It was not extreme dodging. It was just… his normal speed.

How did he possess this kind of reflexes and movement speed even under normal conditions? He must have surpassed the limits of a common man!

His Precise Instinct provided a terrifying number in his mind: 67 meters per second in terms of movement speed.

The number was almost four times faster than Tang Ling’s maximum speed and even surpassed the speed of Amir’s extreme dodging.

While Tang Ling was overwhelmed, Orston turned around and kicked the bull that was not able to stop in time because of the built-up momentum.

“Hey, bro, is that all you’ve got?” scoffed Orston haughtily as if the evasion was effortlessly executed.

The thunder flower frenzy bull’s eyes grew redder. It turned around and tried to ram Orston, but its attack was ineffective!

Orston dodged it again and landed another kick on the bull’s backside followed by tireless mocking and teasing.

The eyes of the bull got even redder as it charged towards Orston who tried to draw a distance away from it.

Orston was toying with the bull with the dodging, the painless attacks, and the insulting teases. Everyone who watched the scene knew he was not even serious at fighting. He was simply trying to provoke the bull, and not just randomly so. He was trying to anger the bull to its peak.

It seemed like Orston was being exceptionally cruel with the teasing. The bull’s eyes gradually grew redder to the point that they were almost scarlet.

Anyone with a little knowledge knew whenever a thunder flower frenzied bull grew angrier, its eyes would turn redder. The bull’s eyes were almost fully red, and its strength and speed had been enhanced to a terrifying level.

Even Orston’s dodging started to look arduous. The bull’s horns almost hit him several times but ultimately grazed his uniform, leaving slice after slice on it.

Orston seemed like he was not satisfied with how angry the bull was. He wanted the bull to be even angrier, but its current state was no longer something that he could toy around with anymore.

He was also on his last stand. “Fine!” he spat. Albeit feeling regretful, he had to accept it.

While the thundering flower frenzy bull whetted its horns on the ground and breathed heavily in preparation for another charge at its prey, Orston removed his upper shirt, exposing his ripped torso.

“Come on!” Orston bellowed.

The bull was provoked once more, and its eyes grew even redder. They were almost similar to a scarlet flame, and as Orston intended, it charged with all its might.

This time, Orston did not dodge.

Under the crowd’s astonishing gaze, he extended his arms and roared as he stood on the spot and waited for the bull to charge at him.

“What’s gonna happen?” Based on Tang Ling’s calculation, he could not get an answer from the situation.

After a frenzied growl from the bull, Tang Ling saw an astounding scene. Orston grabbed the bull’s horns with both his hands and stopped the bull force with his own strength.

“A contest of strength with the bull?” Tang Ling held his breath as he watched Orton’s triceps and biceps expanding. They were already as robust as the other teen’s thighs, and now they expanded further into the girth of a small tree trunk.

It reminded Tang Ling of his own strange condition. He wondered if his strength would be closer to Orston’s in that form.

After all, Tang Ling had taken on the strange form twice, but his mind was not entirely clear every time. It was taken over by a bloodthirsty impulse, and his Precise Instinct would be rendered useless.

“If I count that time in the dream…” Tang Ling added in his heart as he observed the contest of strength between Orston and the thunder flower frenzy bull. Half a minute later, all the muscles on his body started to twitch.

Is this the limit?

Many ladies from the crowd screamed maniacally at the scene. With his sweaty, muscular body and a black sun tattoo on his chest, Orston’s testosterone levels soared and made him look like a dreamy hero.

“The game ends here.” As if Orston enjoyed the cheering, he grinned and let go of one of the bull’s horns. He curled up into a fist and punched the bull’s head.

Mooo! The thunder flower frenzy bull totally went wild. It started to struggle fiercely and tried to kill the seemingly weak person in front of it.

Orston was not able to hold the bull down with one hand, so in the next second, he used the bull’s horn as support and pulled himself up onto its back.

While the bull bucked and struggled frenziedly, Orston straightened his body and clamped the bull’s huge body with his legs. His punches rained down like a storm on the bull’s head.

One punch, ten punches, 20 punches…

Until the bull fell to the ground with a dying moo, Orston finally jumped off its back. He picked up his torn uniform from the ground and threw a flying kiss to the swooning ladies.

Then, he looked at Yu with a big thumbs-up. “Saw that? This is the thunder flower frenzy bull which is the equivalent of a king beast. If the weakling isn’t next, I want to see how you’ll beat me, Yu.”

Weakling? Tang Ling’s breath remained calm.
