Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 137
Chapter 137: Dancing
Fang Lin frowned a little. He cast a puzzled look at Ning Xueshi.
“You don’t have to look at me. Meng Chao has nothing to do with the resource course,” Ning Xueshi said. “But if you really want to spar, I can lend you a place.”
Fang Lin was silent for a while, then cast his gaze on Meng Chao. He asked tentatively, “What do you want to do?”
Meng Chao said seriously, “First, I want a slot to go with reinforcements to the northern frontlines. Since the monster controller course managed to win in the tournament between freshmen today, you will definitely have a lot of slots. If I win ten rounds in a row, it won’t be too much for me to ask for a slot from you, right?
“Second, I want to tell all of you that the martial arts course isn’t just made up of the Beast Soul Style. There’s also the Ultimate Style. Even though it has just been created, it’s filled with endless possibilities.
“Third, I really just want to have an exchange with all of you. How are we supposed to develop the future fighting models and strengthen fighting classes like the martial artists, monster controllers, heroic spirit users, and machine masters? After all, we’re going to face the fierce monster hordes and the endless Other World. We’re the only comrades who can fight with each other.”
He looked Fang Lin in the eye.
Their gazes met, and invisible sparks flew everywhere.
The veins on the foreheads of many monster controller freshmen popped up.
They could sense Meng Chao’s burning fighting spirit, and it stirred their own fighting spirit.
When Fang Lin sensed the unrest among the freshmen, he said gravely, “Alright! The monster controller course is not afraid of challenges! Cheng Xia, Lu Fei, go back and bring ten beginner-level biochemical beasts. I will notify the related staff. Just go and get the biochemical beasts. Remember this, do not tell the lecturers for now. If anything happens, I will take responsibility.
“Others, get your spirits up. You should know that you didn’t perform well today and relied on Wu Wu to turn the tides. But the strongest of the martial arts course, Meng Chao, didn’t fight at all.
“Now, you have a chance to regain your dignity. If ten of you can’t even win against one person, then I won’t even need to mention what you need to do, right? Go and receive punishment from your own tutors!”
As he spoke, Fang Lin trained a sharp gaze at their opponent.
“Meng Chao, let me give you a word of advice. We naturally have an advantage when it comes to fights between the martial arts course and the monster controller course, because we have a biochemical beast with us. So, the martial artists are free to use any weapon or tool. Even if you want to wear a strengthened exoskeleton or have heavy machine guns, it’s fine. There’s some time, so you should make preparations.”
“Thanks, but I don’t need heavy machine guns or a strengthened exoskeleton. I just need two handguns and some… toys.” Meng Chao smiled.
Ning Xueshi soon prepared a rather large abandoned storage room for them.
The people Fang Lin sent to bring biochemical beasts brought ten of them from the monster controller course.
The genetically modified monsters had electrodes and controller chips implanted in their brains. They obeyed their controllers’ orders as if they were killing machines. Before they were activated, they just stood by the side quietly.
The resource course students who really loved chaos naturally stayed to watch the fierce fight. Even if they believed that it was impossible for anyone to finish this mighty mission of winning against ten people alone.
But since it was Meng Chao, they believed that… it might actually be possible.
However, the monster controller course students were a little hesitant. It was a back-to-back fight with ten people against one. Even if they won, if word spread out… It would be better if they fought in private behind closed doors.
They discussed things among themselves. Even though Meng Chao was a little conceited, no matter what, he helped them a lot just now, and he did not hold the Beast Soul Style highly. He could not be considered as their mortal enemy, so they did not need to be too ruthless when they attacked.
Fang Lin also ordered them not to defeat him as quickly as possible later. They were to fight with the goal of convincing him that monster controller technology was superior as well as make him lose his arrogance. After all, after he experienced the might of monster controller technology, they might have the chance to bring him to the monster controller course.
“Let’s start. Which student wants to go first?”
Meng Chao went to the center of the storage room.
The room was airtight, and there was not even a single window. The place was lit up by dozens of large lights, so even if they turned the building upside down, no one outside would be able to detect what was going on inside. It was a good place.
Meng Chao not only did not equip himself with heavy machine guns and a strengthened exoskeleton, but did not even put on a biochemical fighting suit. He stayed in his wrinkled uniform along with a tactical jacket with more than ten pockets. There was a tactical belt on his waist, and on the sides of the belt were two handguns as well as a dagger. That was all.
“Let me!”
A boy with slightly red hair walked out.
The ten of them had been sitting and resting while waiting for the fight. They also used the time to stimulate their biochemical beasts with their brainwaves.
A Demonic Halberd Pig with a controller ring on its head roared. It was as if it had rampaging life injected into it, and its red, beady eyes shone with a brutal light.
When the boy exercised his wrist and ankles, the Demonic Halberd Pig swung its head and tail as well, as if it were the boy’s double.
The boy kindly said, “Meng Chao, are you sure you don’t want any heavy machine guns or cold weapons? This Demonic Halberd Pig has been genetically modified. Even though it’s a beginner-level biochemical monster, its skin was injected with substances similar to metal, so its skin is 30% thicker compared to that of a wild Demonic Halberd Pig. You won’t be able to pierce its defense with just handguns and daggers!”
Meng Chao shook his head. He did not even pull out his handguns or dagger. He just motioned with his hands. “Come!”
The boy cast Fang Lin a glance.
Fang Lin showed him a “3” sign. ‘Go. Try to end the fight in three rounds!’
The boy no longer hesitated. He pushed his hands to his temple and used the unique method used of monster controllers to stimulate his brain cells and brain waves. Then, he released a series of commands to the controller chip in the Demonic Halberd Pig’s brain.
The Demonic Halberd Pig immediately lowered its head and charged at Meng Chao like an armored truck.
This boy had been the one who lost to Sun Ya during the tournament between courses.
The reason behind it was because he was reluctant to let his Demonic Halberd Pig get injured. When Sun Ya released her dazzling sword moves, he told his Demonic Halberd Pig to dodge fruitlessly, which resulted in him wasting his stamina and a lot of major openings. Sun Ya used one to stab his Demonic Halberd Pig’s through the eyeball.
Meng Chao had just analyzed the reason behind his defeat in detail.
He accepted Meng Chao’s advice readily and exploited the Demonic Halberd Pig’s advantage of high defense to its fullest. He thought that Meng Chao only had handguns and a dagger, so it was impossible for him to pierce the Demonic Halberd Pig’s fatals. Even if his Demonic Halberd Pig was injured a little, he would force Meng Chao into a corner!
And Meng Chao did not appear to be as agile as Sun Ya, anyway. When he faced the Demonic Halberd Pig charging at him, he did not move. Instead, he just let the pig knock into him.
“Ah!”
The monster controller freshmen did not expect that he was actually of such average skill, even though he had been spurting out such beautiful strategies earlier. They cried out in surprise.
But Meng Chao looked as if he had been freed of the pull of gravity. He flew away lightly and danced about in the air like a falling leaf. Then, he landed on the ground gently.
He did not cough up blood nor seemed injured. He did not have even a strand of hair missing.
The monster controller freshmen looked at each other. They could not understand what had happened. The pig had clearly run into Meng Chao.
As for Fang Lin, his pupils shrank.
He was the only one who saw it clearly just now. Right before the crash, the muscles in Meng Chao’s legs acted as if one hundred thousand springs. He moved backwards at high speed, causing the relative speed between him and the pig to become zero.
Then, he tapped against the Demonic Halberd Pig’s nose gently with the tip of his foot and launched himself into the air. He had not been sent flying.
‘His control over timing and explosive strength are so…’ Fang Lin narrowed his eyes.
The red-haired boy controlling the Demonic Halberd Pig was feeling really miserable.
Meng Chao was much more difficult to handle than he imagined.
Even though the situation had been shocking and Meng Chao’s actions looked clumsy and pathetic, no matter how he stimulated his brainwaves and told his Demonic Halberd Pig to speed up, he just could not catch up.
Sun Ya was fast after she cleared more than eighty main meridians, but that was it. All of her actions fit into the laws of ergonomics and physics. Even if he could not capture her, he still understood why he could not catch her.
But Meng Chao looked like he did not have any bones. He completely ignored the laws of ergonomics and physics, which allowed him to dodge and attack from impossible angles.
It was as if he had prediction powers or could read minds, because he could predict all of the Demonic Halberd Pig’s attacks. He negated its attacks while counterattacking and often used its strength to launch his attacks.
He was like a sesame hide sugar stuck on the Demonic Halberd Pig. No matter how it tried to fling him off, it could not.
It almost looked like Meng Chao and the Demonic Halberd Pig were performing an exciting two-man dance.
‘What is this body movement? Does the martial arts course have this sort of technique?’ The red-haired boy felt his skin crawl, and he became even more uncertain compared to the time he fought against Sun Ya.
Suddenly, Meng Chao flung his arm, and flames spilled out of his hands.
‘An incendiary?’
The red-haired boy narrowed his eyes and thought in delight, ‘Even the strongest incendiary won’t be able to burn the Demonic Halberd Pig to death in an instant, and it especially won’t be able to do so to a biochemical beast whose skin was genetically strengthened. It might not even feel pain. His fire attack will come to naught!’
The red-haired boy had become restless, so he came to a swift decision. He ignored the flames coming at the pig from all directions and told it to lower its head to protect its eyes, mouth, and nose, because those were its vitals. Then, he ordered it to continue charging desperately.
Piercing flames started burning the Demonic Halberd Pig, but it was just as the red-haired boy expected. The flames could not even burn the pelt. It might hurt, but he could bear with it.
Yet for some reason, the Demonic Halberd Pig suddenly started jumping about madly in one sport like a spinning top. It turned its head to the side with everything it had as if it wanted to bite off its own tail.
To control biochemical beasts precisely, the monster controllers’ minds were connected to the biochemical beasts, and they shared their senses.
The red-haired boy immediately sensed great fear coming from the depths of the Demonic Halberd Pig’s brain. It felt as if something had crawled into its body.
The Demonic Halberd Pig’s jumping around also affected the red-haired boy, making him feel faint. His vision started turning black.
He blinked rapidly, trying to keep his vision clear, but with the dizziness and the flames interfering with his vision, he lost sight of Meng Chao.
He was shocked. Then, he felt a cool breath on his back. Just when he was about to dodge, he felt a dagger on his neck. It was shining coldly.
The tip of the dagger was positioned under his chin, and a drop of blood flowed down his skin.
“Now, do you know why I didn’t want to bring heavy machine guns and cold weapons?” Meng Chao asked cooly while standing behind the red-haired boy.
