Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 161
Chapter 161: The Ultimate Style Arrives On Stage
Meng Chao was silent for a while before he shook his head and sighed.
“Zhou Yun, monsters won’t care whether you’re a boy or a girl.” He smiled wanly.
“Meng Chao, you’re a man among men!” Xie Feng drew closer and whispered, “But being punished for this isn’t worth it. I heard that even the dean was startled. If the old man didn’t try to protect you with everything he had, you wouldn’t have been let off so easily with just a notice criticising your actions. You might have even been forced to stay in university for your actions to be observed or be dismissed!”
Meng Chao let his eyes fall shut and thought about it for a long while before he nodded slowly and said firmly, “It was worth it.”
“Huh?” Xie Feng was shocked. “You’re seriously not regretting it at all?!”
“If Zhou Yun and other female students became alert when they slept because of me and won’t miss when someone sneaks up to their bed, their chances of surviving the battlefield will increase by leaps and bounds,” Meng Chao said faintly.
“To save more of our female coursemates, to help them grow safely, and to create a brighter future for Dragon City, even if I have to receive a notice of criticism or even have to be kept in the university for observation, even if I am misunderstood by the girls, regarded with jealousy by the boys, scolded by the lecturers, or taken away by the police, I will regret nothing. I will still be content with it!”
Xie Feng sucked in a sharp breath and was stunned for a long moment. “Meng Chao, I really can’t tell whether I should be more impressed with your ruthlessness or your shamelessness. Your shamelessness is even tougher than the monsters’ shells!”
“I already died once… during the practical test of the national college examination, that is.” Meng Chao smiled. “Having a sense of shame is useless to someone like me who fought my way back from hell.”
“You’re seriously shameless. I like it!” Xie Feng gave him a thumbs up in the dark. Then, he said even more softly, “Speaking of which, how did you manage to do it? You must understand that Zhou Yun’s dorm is on the fourteenth floor, and the entire building has CCTVs installed all over it. Our upperclassmen live on the lower floors, and there are also lecturers monitoring the area. They’re all elites of the martial arts course, and they’re much more alert than the average person.
“I… have a coursemate who has been thinking about this, but can’t understand it. That coursemate wants to get a deeper understanding of how you did this. Could you tell me?”
Meng Chao frowned. “Your coursemate is my coursemate too. Who is it?”
Xie Feng scratched his head. “My mistake. It’s not a coursemate. That person is a friend of mine and wants to understand how you did this so that the person can criticize it!”
Meng Chao thought about it and said, “I’ll tell you. But even if you know the method, you can’t do what I did, because you don’t know the Ultimate Style. You don’t have the same fine control over your muscles, so it’s impossible for you to move over the walls as quietly as a gecko.
“It’s also impossible for you to crawl into narrow and twisted tunnels, much less move like a phantom after you calculate the speed and angles at which the CCTVs move their heads so you can dodge them.
“If you don’t cultivate your branch meridians and push the sharpness of your senses to the max, it’ll be impossible to sense the presences of the female lecturers and female upperclassmen, which would allow you to avoid them and find your real target.
“Honestly speaking, I’d say that I’m very proud of my infiltration this time, because I used all that I learned. It was at least ten times more difficult compared to sneaking into Duan Lian’s single-room dorm. You sure have a good eye for good stuff.”
“Of course.” Xie Feng paused before he quickly defended himself. “It’s not me, it’s my friend!”
“Alright, it’s your friend.” Meng Chao grinned and threw an arm over Xie Feng’s shoulder. “Then, does your friend want to learn the Ultimate Style from me?”
“Yeah…”
“I know that you’re a righteous person. You have noble sentiments, and you’re a firm supporter of the Beast Soul Style. You’ll definitely look down on a mere trick like the Ultimate Style, but you’re a true friend, and you’re willing to sacrifice yourself for your friend! I’ll teach you first, and you can teach your friend. Won’t that be perfect?”
Xie Feng scratched his head while looking conflicted.
Suddenly, he noticed Sun Ya staring at him and Meng Chao from a distance. Her gaze was incredibly profound.
Xie Feng shuddered and quickly moved his butt a away from Meng Chao.
Meng Chao looked pensive. “So you— I mean, your friend wants to sneak into Sun Ya’s dorm to… spar with her, yes?”
Xie Feng’s face turned red. “I’m not— I didn’t— What rubbish— No, my friend isn’t— That’s not right either. I uh…”
“Stop stammering. If you don’t want to learn it, I’ll learn it!”
Duan Lian sat down between Meng Chao and Xie Feng. “Meng Chao, after that lesson you gave me, I pondered over what you said for a long time, and I discovered that the Ultimate Style does indeed have some pros, and it can cover up for the weaknesses of the Beast Soul Style,” he said sincerely.
“Please teach me all the ways you used to bypass the CCTVs and the method to blend into the night so that I can be more alert and avoid being ambushed by monsters! How many monster coins and cultivation resources do you want? Just name a price!”
“Huh?” Xie Feng stared at Duan Lian with a dumbfounded expression. “I didn’t expect that despite being so honest, you’re that sort of person too!”
Meng Chao wanted to heal the mental scar he left behind on Duan Lian that day when he put up an act of slitting his throat, so he naturally agreed to it.
Then, he got up and walked over to sit beside the girls led by Sun Ya.
Sun Ya, Zhou Yun, and the others trained their gazes on him. They were so wary that their eyes were as sharp as blades.
“And why are you here?” Zhou Yun scowled.
“To tell you something really important.”
Meng Chao turned his head to the side to look outside the portholes so Duan Lian and Xie Feng would not see his mouth when he spoke. “Right now, there are some bad people with ulterior motives in society, and they want to use the Ultimate Style to do some despicable, shameless, perverted, and degenerate stuff. You might be martial artists, but you’re also girls, so you must learn how to protect yourselves.
“Why don’t you learn the Ultimate Style with me? Only the Ultimate Style can hope to fight against the Ultimate Style. When you learn how to cultivate with the 1,024 branch meridians, your senses will increase by leaps and bounds. Then, next time, when some bad person wants to ambush you in the dark, they won’t be able to have their way so easily.
“Oh, I can even teach you how to set up certain traps. If the bad people in society really have bad intentions, you will definitely be able to teach them a big lesson, so they will want to die.”
“Wait.” Sun Ya raised her hand. “Compared to learning the Ultimate Style, we’re more interested in knowing just who are the ‘bad people in society’ that you just mentioned, aside from you.”
Meng Chao turned his head around and stared at Xie Feng and Duan Lian as he said, “I can’t say.”
Xie Feng did not know what was going on. He just smiled at him and Sun Ya.
Meng Chao smiled back at him.
Sun Ya, Zhou Yun, and the other girls narrowed their eyes.
“I can’t tell you just who has joined my band, but I can tell you that ever since I received my notice of criticism, many of the boys are indignant. They started howling like wolves, saying that they want to learn the Ultimate Style from me so that they can criticize this ruthless fighting style,” Meng Chao said earnestly.
“Honestly, a fighting style is like a weapon. In itself, it’s not good or bad. Look at me. I used the Ultimate Style to execute justice, contribute to society, help everyone, and search for a brighter future for Dragon City. So, I’m worried that the Ultimate Style will end up in some rascal’s hands who will use it for bad things. They’ll end up destroying the reputation of Mr. Gu, the Ultimate Style, and me.
“That’s why I’m doing everything I can to promote the Ultimate Style. I hope that all you girls can learn it or at the very least understand its theories.
“If you’re willing to learn the Ultimate Style from me, I can even tell you how to increase your awareness when you’re camping outside. I’ll also teach you how to set up sentry lines and defensive measures.
“The defense of the female dorm in our university is filled with weaknesses. I have at least seven ways to sneak inside. If you have the same standard while you’re camping outside, you’ll end up dead, and you won’t even know how you died!”
“Stop right there again!” Sun Ya raised her hand once more. “You told the lecturers that there are only three ways to easily attack the female dorm, and you pointed all of them out to make amends for your mistakes. That’s why you only received a notice of criticism. Why are you telling us that there are seven ways to sneak inside now?”
“Did I just say seven?” Meng Chao waved his hand in dismissal. “Don’t bother about the details. I’m currently talking about your life and death!”
Sun Ya, Zhou Yun, and the girls were stunned speechless.
As they talked to each other, the pod trembled a little. The armored airship had arrived at its destination. It started releasing air and slowly descended.
There were a lot of lakes at the center of Shattered Starlake. Among them were two huge ones located in the west and east. They were the largest lakes, and they had the most resources. The Dragon Citizens had already set up a camp of two thousand interconnected tents. They served as two fighting bases to clear the lakes.
The base next to the eastern lake was allocated to Agricultural University, the University of Technology, University of Science, Medical University, and the military school—the five university alliance.
The base at the western lake was allocated to Dragon City University.
From this, it was clear that Dragon City University had the status of the Goliath and could monopolize an entire region on its own. Its strength was evident.
There might not be any Apocalyptic Beast at Shattered Starlake, but there was a dense network of rivers. The ground was muddy, and there were weeds everywhere. There were also all sorts of insects and pests that were venomous or highly corrosive. If a normal soldier went in recklessly, there was a high chance that they would be severely injured.
Hence, the Red Dragon Army gave this spot to superhumans who were great individual fighters. As for humanity’s mechanized machine army, aside from building the main artery connecting Dragon City to Shattered Starlake and defending it, it was also stationed between Shattered Starlake and Graveyard Forest. They were to build forts and set up defense lines to prevent the high-grade superbeasts from Graveyard Forest or even Raging Waves from charging out to swallow Shattered Starlake like a tidal wave.
As the armored airship continued descending, the students could clearly see wind blowing everywhere. The grass fell to the sides and revealed the surging spirit flames from countless superhumans. They were like endless waves fighting against the monsters who had crawled out from underground.
Some powerful fighters had activated their vitality magnetic fields to levitate above the lakes with a principle similar to that of maglev. When the deep water bombs brought the monsters residing in the depths of the lake to the surface, they immediately killed them without any mercy.
In the distance, there was the border connecting Shattered Starlake and Graveyard Forest. A black defense line was being set up there. It was getting higher and higher.
More than one thousand artillery roared eagerly. They fired off their shells and fire bombs at Graveyard Forest every day and night with carpet-bombing. They were aiming to kill more than fifty percent of the monsters, superbeasts, and carnivorous etherealized plants before the powerful fighters arrived so that they could reduce the pressure on them.
Further ahead was a place surrounded by clouds and fog. Once every ten minutes, deafening booms came from there.
That sound was made by Huge Tiger’s Mighty Cannon, a weapon that was one level weaker than Huge Dragon’s Mighty Cannon. The army was testing waters by firing at Raging Waves. The higher-ups were hoping to anger the Apocalyptic Beast and force it to come out and fight against their Deity Realm elites.
The thick scent of blood and gunpowder mixed together, and it stimulated the students’ senses. Everyone instantly entered fighting mode.
They instinctively clenched their fists, grabbed their weapon hilts, or their guns.
Those who were skilled would run into great opportunities. It was the time for them to spread their wings and have their names ring far and wide!
