Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 263
Chapter 263: Glory of the Golden Era
Bai Jiacao gave up. She pursed her lips and stared at the screen.
The image had shifted to the overhead shot of forest, which the drone captured in the air. Two groups of people dressed in red and blue protective suits entered the forest from two different directions. Immediately after that, there was a flurry of motion. A lot of the pests hidden in the shrubs fled. If they were the slightest bit careless, they would be immediately cut in half.
In the last month of intense fighting, the larger monsters were all killed by the powerful fighters.
The freshmen had also gained fierce killing intent that only veterans who had fought in a hundred battles had.
The sensitive middle-grade and low-grade monsters did not dare to fight against them.
Even the carnivorous etherealized plants acted like shame plants when they sensed the powerful magnetic fields surrounding the students. They shut the parts they used to hunt and pretended to be normal plants.
The forest was not large.
In the near future, Graveyard Forest would become an industrial area and be developed into a multi-function training hall with all manner of terrain. Even though the area was small, it had everything from forests, mountain creeks, cracks, caves, and even small cliffs.
The geography was complicated, but it was not a problem for the outstanding students who were already experienced fighters. Based on the overhead shots, the spectators could clearly see the students from both sides moving as smoothly as mercury spilling on the ground. The students headed in the direction where the other party would show their might—the center of the forest
Soon, the students who were at the forefront of the charge clashed against each other.
“We can see that the first pair of contestants from both sides have already clashed magnificently. The one dressed in the blue protective suit is Yang Na from Dragon City University. She is a very outstanding Overkill Style martial artist. With a sword as swift as shooting stars, she has once managed to gain the record of killing 198 Three-eyed Spirit Cats in one day. She is known to the public as Shooting Star.
“Unfortunately, the one she encountered today is Female Battle God Shao Jiang Qing from the military school’s heroic spirit course.
“Shao Jianqing is one of the four specially recruited students from the alliance of the five universities. She is also the freshman with the most eye-catching offense in the northern offense. Of course, many of us have a hard time attaching the title of a freshman to her when we see how she uses her two swords to swiftly and valiantly kill monsters.
“One side represents absolute speed, while the other side represents absolute power. I wonder how Shooting Star Yang Na will break Shao Jianqing’s Female Battle God.
“As expected, Yang Na is acting very cautiously. She did not create her spirit energy magnetic field the moment she engaged in battle and released her best skill, Meteor Storm. Instead, she uses her advantage in her agility to move around Shao Jianqing.
“With a dense wave of sword attacks, she is luring Shao Jianqing into parrying her attacks. This is, undoubtedly, the best strategy, because Shao Jianqing’s swords were created with special alloy containing superbeast crystalized bones. They weigh nearly one hundred kilograms, so it’s impossible for her to swing them continuously…
“Wait! What is this we’re seeing?! Shao Jianqing actually swung her swords so quickly that they have the momentum of a storm! There’s no openings to be found! She’s actually suppressing Shooting Star Yang Na!
“Her speed is actually faster than Yang Na’s?! During the full half a minute she swung her swords, she did not mess up once! From her breathing to the movements of her fingertips, everything was flawless! This made Yang Na fall into her rhythm!
“Oh, no! Yang Na’s breathing and footwork are starting to turn chaotic! Her defense has collapsed! She has to run! There is no other choice, she can only— Ah!
“Shooting Star Yang Na has been struck down by Female Battle God Shao Jianqing, and she did not even manage to use her best skill Meteor Storm before she was defeated. We can see that Yang Na looks confused and frustrated, as if she still hasn’t understood what happened, but that’s how tournaments are. If this were a real battlefield, she might have already died.
“The control as well as endurance that Shao Jianqing displayed just now seems to be characteristic of the Ultimate Style, which has been very popular among the alliance of the five universities over the past few months.
“Some of you might not understand it well, dear audience, but the Ultimate Style is a martial arts style that has risen to power recently. It came from Agricultural University’s martial arts course, and it’s very popular in the northern offense, especially among those in the alliance of the five universities.
“It pays attention to the cultivation of 1,024 branch meridians and uses chain attacks to suppress the opponent so that they would reveal openings. It has an incredibly high killing efficiency when it comes to fighting against large amounts of normal monsters.
“However, I didn’t expect that even Female Battle God Shao Jianqing would become a supporter of the Ultimate Style, much less produce such astonishing results when it comes to fighting against the Overkill Style.
“We have interviewed the creator of the Ultimate Style before the tournament. Mr. Gu Jianbo of Agricultural University’s martial arts course stated boldly that the people from Dragon City University’s martial arts course will be shocked in the tournament.
“He must have been talking about Shao Jianqing. With the help of the Ultimate Style, the heroic spirit Female Battle God is indeed qualified to challenge the Overkill Style from Dragon City University’s martial arts course!”
“Dad, Mom, did you hear?” Bai Jiacao said excitedly. “Mr. Gu Jianbo from Agricultural University’s martial arts course is Big Brother’s personal tutor! He’s really good!”
“I know, right?” Meng Yishan and Bai Suxin looked at each other and asked in puzzlement, “But where is your brother?”
“Well…”
Bai Jiacao scratched her head and stared at the TV.
Unfortunately, while the livestreamer had prepared hundreds of drones and set up countless cameras in the arena and each contestant had a camera on their shoulders and helmets, which allowed them to practically monitor everything, when the shots were displayed to the people, they were only able to see one or at most two of the most exciting fights.
And Meng Chao, who practiced Walking Corpse, was skilled in lurking in dark corners, sneaking around, and launching surprise attacks. Clearly, he was not considered among the students delivering the most exciting fights.
Right now, what was displayed on TV was a dazzling battle between an Overkill Style user and a machine master, and there were even all sorts of electricity effects.
There was a Dragon City University freshman by the name of Yan Shouhong with a nickname Fireworks. His specialty was moves that were dazzling, cool, and had a lot of electricity effects. He used brilliant spirit energy magnetic fields that looked like fireworks to interfere with his opponents’ senses, which made them feel as if they were trapped in a kaleidoscope.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Machine Maniac Xu Sheng, the specially recruited fighting course student from the University of Technology. Though he did not have all his limbs, he was exceptionally talented.
Since the situation had stabilized and there was no longer any spirit energy magnetic field interference, Xu Sheng could release his brainwaves fearlessly. He controlled dozens of weaponized fighting vehicles and spider fighting vehicles at the same time. He had a whole steel army that saw through Fireworks’ superficial attacks and submerged Yan Shouhong.
“Dragon City University has lost two fights in a row! Before the tournament, who could have predicted this sort of situation?”
Even the commentator became excited. “But I believe that Dragon City University, with its great foundation, will not just stand by and let this happen. Look! It’s Wang Dao from Dragon City University’s martial arts course!
“I believe that there is no need for me to make further introductions regarding Wang Dao. Most of you have already heard about him.
“Since elementary school, he has continuously defended the title of champion in various competitions related to stances, meditations, and fighting styles.
“Before he was eighteen years old, he managed to break twenty-four records. Over the three years he was in high school, he has never run into an opponent who could stand up to him in the challenges launched against him in Dragon City Great High School, which is the best school in Dragon City and has plenty of powerful people.
“With the status of a specially recruited student, he has smoothly entered Dragon City University’s martial arts course, and even there, he has never run into anyone who can break his undefeatable status. He deserves his title of Tyrant.
“After he came to the northern frontlines, Wang Dao fought in a manner that can only be described as mad to prove that he is not only someone who can be called a tyrant in cultivation rooms and arenas, but also someone who deserves the title of tyrant even in the wild.
“With the strength of a one-star superhuman, he killed more than ten Grade Three Nightmarish Beasts and even managed to escape unscathed while hunted by a Hell Beast. He has created multiple miracles.
“And now, we are about to witness just how strong Tyrant Wang Dao has become after he successfully became a two-star superhuman during the spirit energy rain. His opponent has appeared!”
“Ah!” Bai Jiacao’s eyes went wide, and she screamed, “It’s Big Brother Xiong!”
“Which Big Brother Xiong?” Meng Yishan asked.
“It’s the fair and plump one who often came to our house to play when Big Brother was in high school.” Bai Jiacao thought about it and said, “One time, he didn’t have his fill yet even after he ate eighty dumplings. We didn’t have any dumpling skins and fillings anymore, so we could only give him two bowls of instant noodles.”
“Oh, it’s Chu Feixiong!” Bai Suxin immediately remembered him. She asked in shock, “What happened to the boy? Why is he so dark and thin now?”
“Wang Dao’s first opponent is Chu Feixiong from the military school. This is a very interesting contestant as well,” the commentator said. “Regardless of whether he was in high school or the northern frontlines, he never displayed great talent. Even though he successfully awakened a heroic spirit, based on what we understand, there isn’t anything particularly special about his heroic spirit, Soldier.
“But Chu Feixiong has firm determination and a will to train and cultivate madly. It is said that every night, he trains until he is bruised, battered, and unrecognizable by using a method that can practically be classified as self-harm. There are even people who can hear him scream in pain late at night.
“But like that, Chu Feixiong managed to train himself until he gained a steel body, and his ability to endure attacks is incredibly strong. When his heroic spirit enters his body, he can even fight barehanded against powerful monsters with great defenses. His fighting style is… quite like that of a martyr.
“As expected, Chu Feixiong did not show any fear when faced with Tyrang Wang Dao, who is ranked at the first place of Dragon City University’s martial arts course. Instead, he summoned his heroic spirit and rushed forward. He’s using… the Army Fist? He’s actually using the Army Fist to fight against an outstanding new member of the Overkill Style!”
“Bang!”
The sound of fists clashing rose. Even Bai Jiacao and her parents could not help but hunch their shoulders while sitting in front of the TV.
Chu Feixiong was sent flying like a fallen kite.
“Alright, Chu Feixiong does have commendable courage. Even though he was sent flying by a single punch from Wang Dao and was eliminated from the tournament with a lot of grievances in his heart, his spirit of facing difficulties head-on is still worthy of us— What? He got up again?
“Oh, he’s still using the Army Fist. But he was sent flying again!
“Oh, he got up a third time…
“And the fourth…
“Wang Dao doesn’t seem to be in a good condition today. He might have been shocked by Chu Feixiong’s unrelenting spirit and not dealt a heavy blow. I can’t believe that he still hasn’t managed to get rid of his opponent. Even he seems to be puzzled.
“As for Chu Feixiong, he’s getting more valiant with the more setbacks he faces and is getting stronger. He also seems to be saying something. Could it be that he’s provoking Wang Dao? Let us turn on the communication channels and listen to his cries…”
Hence, all the spectators in front of the TV heard Chu Feixiong strike his chest and shout at the strongest freshman from Dragon City University’s martial arts course.
“That’s the punch from the Overkill Style? Could you hit harder?! Even when Meng Chao hasn’t eaten, his punches land harder than yours!”
