Chapter 142: Meeting His Match

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Meng Chao was on his way back to the martial arts course at nine o’clock, he started counting his rewards.

After he won against ten monster controller freshmen, his progress on the second segment of the Fight for the Ultimate Style Quest became 16/300.

During the fights, he also killed four biochemical beasts, which were considered to be monsters. The progress on the third segment of the Fight for the Ultimate Style Quest became 4/1000 and 0/100 respectively.

Aside from that, while he did the injury examination of the monster controller students and showed them the Ultimate Style, he obtained quite a lot of contribution points. His current accumulated contribution points were over twenty thousand points once more!

He could upgrade a few of his basic skills again.

He could also awaken brand new intermediate skills.

Meng Chao thought about it for a while, then decided that he would make his decision after he repaired the twelve main meridians.

At that time, he would have sixteen main meridians cleared and could get more complicated and powerful killing moves.

As of current, the Ultimate Style was still too underdeveloped. It was impossible for him to kill a wave of enemies by just delivering nonstop attacks. He needed killing moves to deliver the final blow.

Meng Chao would not be like the students in the martial arts course. He would not go for thirty or more dazzling killing moves that gave off electricity effects that could blind a person.

Demon Subduing Slash was a melee attack. Aside from that, he needed a few spirit energy magnetic fields that would deliver long-distance attacks or allow him to control his enemies, and that would be enough for the time being.

As he thought about this, he returned to the grove in which he had run into Wu Wu.

Over the past few days, many of the upperclassmen and lecturers of Agricultural University had gone to provide reinforcements to the frontlines, and the university was much emptier.

The grove was located in a rather remote area. It was only nine something at night, but it was already quiet in the area.

Mosquitoes and insects gathered under the dim light and kept crashing against the streetlights.

Meng Chao suddenly stood still and narrowed his eyes to watch the insects dance around.

There were a total of seventeen streetlights to the left of the path leading to the grove.

There were fewer insects flying at the ninth light at the center compared to the sixteen streetlights beside it. They were also dancing around in a really stiff manner.

They were acting like low-grade insects. It seemed like they had sensed something really dangerous and did not dare to get closer.

Meng Chao smirked. He knelt down on one knee and slowly tied his shoelaces.

Then, he knelt down on the other knee. Once he tied both of his shoelaces, he raised his butt and went into the starting position of someone who was about to go for a sprint.

He suddenly raised his head and spoke to the dark trees behind the ninth streetlight. “Careful, I’m going to attack.”

Whoosh!

Before his voice could fade, the road under his feet was crushed. Stones and sparks flew everywhere.

With his speed instantly reaching the maximum, Meng Chao charged into the depths of the forest like an arrow.

At the same time, he flung his arms like whips. They let out the shrill sound of something cutting through air. Seven cold glares shot out, and they traveled even faster than his body.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The seven lights were like seven steel needles that could pierce through bones. They pierced the trunks of three trees and sunk in almost entirely.

But based on the sockets of the blades, all those who saw them could tell that they were the thin dissection blades used during the harvesting of monsters.

In the span of just one breath, Meng Chao jumped past the three trees and landed fiercely against the fourth tree. Then, he changed his direction.

His coat flew up like a cloak.

There were interlayers in the sides of his shirt, and they were filled with hundreds of dissection blades.

Meng Chao had already pushed his Basic Harvesting Skill to Perfect Level, and his fingers turned into two flowing balls of gray fog. The dozens of blades jumped to his fingertips from his clothes as if he had cast magic on them. They turned into silver lines from his fingertips as they were flung out.

The silver lines intersected with each other to form a fatal cage. It shrouded the dark space ahead of him.

The shadows of the trees danced about. The branches swayed. In an instant, the shrubs were crushed. A grunt rose from the darkness, along with the faint sound of someone escaping.

Meng Chao shut his eyes and took in a deep breath.

Spirit energy went to his nose through his branch meridians. It gently stimulated his nasal mucosa and his olfactory cells. He detected a faint scent of blood.

He chased after the smell of blood, and on a trunk of a large tree, he found a dissection blade covered in blood.

Only a third of the blade had sunk into the trunk. It was obvious that it had first pierced through something beforehand, and when it reached the trunk, it no longer held as much strength.

Meng Chao smiled.

But his smile soon froze, and his pupils shrank.

‘The blade is still too deep into the trunk. It’s as if she had never bothered to tighten her muscles, but had relaxed her body to intentionally take this hit! It’s a trap!’

He let out a strange cry, and the bones in his left leg let out cracking sounds resembling an explosion. With the price of his muscles being torn, he moved 17.5 cm to the right.

A sharp claw surrounded by black smoke didn’t graze his shoulder by a hair’s breadth.

When it landed on the ground, the grass around it started shrivelling up swiftly. In just a few seconds, the vegetation rotted away.

It was the Ghost Leopards’ unique skill—Rotting Claw.

They could interfere with the vibrations of a magnetic field and destroy the molecular layers of anything they touched, leading to them showing signs of rotting and shriveling up. Hence, the leopards looked like ghosts who could absorb life.

This was how the Ghost Leopards got their name.

Meng Chao did not stay. He continued moving to the right until he was more than ten meters away. Then, he threw more than ten dissection blades upward to break dozens of branches above him. They fell behind him and interfered with his enemy’s vision and offense. It was only after that that he turned around and looked at the black cat.

There was a young girl behind the big cat.

Meng Chao was not surprised, and he asked with a huge grin, “Wu Wu, you received my message?”

“Yes. Ten of them.”

She had grown up in the wild. She was raised by Ghost Leopards, and then defeated and ate their king.

Wu wu licked her sharp canines and showed a smile that was just as brilliant as Meng Chao’s. “So, you stayed behind intentionally.”

“Of course, if it’s not to invite you, why would I have fought against ten monster controller students?” Meng Chao said. “You should be the strongest person in the Agricultural University’s fighting courses this year. If I can make you acknowledge the power of the Ultimate Style, it will make my next step in promoting the Ultimate Style easier.”

“No, I’m not, the strongest.” Wu Wu shook her head while speaking methodically. “I eat you, then I’m strongest.”

Before her voice could fade, she and the Ghost Leopard turned into two black bolts of lightning that appeared beside Meng Chao like phantoms.

The two black bolts of lightning practically moved at the same frequency. Meng Chao wondered whether Wu Wu was acting as the Ghost Leopard’s reflection, or whether the Ghost Leopard was acting as her reflection. The monster controller and biochemical beast worked in sync, and they were on a completely different level compared to the ten freshmen Meng Chao had fought against during the day.

The two black bolts of lightning surrounded Meng Chao like fog.

But he also had a fog around him. It was silver in color and fatal to anyone who got close

That fog was made up of dissection blades.

In the morning, he had shown Ma Hong and the other students from society how they should control their muscle fibers using the 1024 branch meridians to make the finest movements by moving a coin slowly through his entire body.

The dozens of dissection blades were like the coin in the morning. They flowed all around his body. They could shoot out from the bounce of his muscles, which made it seem like he had suddenly gained dozens of hands.

The six dissection blades stuck between his fingers shone with a chilling glare. They were so sharp that they could cut a strand of hair that fell on them, and they did not lose at all to the Ghost Leopard or Wu Wu’s claws.

The beast and humans instantly exchanged more than one hundred blows.

The branches and leaves around the area broke apart. They fell down in a scattered fashion, but they did not land on the ground. Instead, they were stirred up by a powerful gust of wind and spun in the air.

Meng Chao, Wu Wu, and the Ghost Leopard gained dozens of bloody wounds.

Without batting an eyelid, they controlled their muscles and clamped down their wounds to seal off their blood and pain.

They crouched down on two branches and stared at each other. Excitement shone in their eyes.

It was easy to get money, but difficult to get people who understood them. “Monsters” like them who had lived through unique experiences had a difficult time finding similar people among their peers.

There were only two types of opponents Meng Chao had run into since his return. The first type had people who were too weak, such as Sun Ya and Xie Feng. They might have cleared a lot of main meridians, but they lacked fighting experience and willpower. Before they were refined by the flames of war, they were just flowers kept in a greenhouse.

The second type were too strong, such as Soul Breaking Saber Luo Wu, the Griffin Li Yingzi, and Blade Dancer Gu Jianbo. They were all Heaven Realm elites, and for the time being, they were mountains Meng Chao could not hope to cross. Even if they fought against him, it was impossible for them to fight at full strength against him.

But Wu Wu... she was different.

It was not a problem of their cultivation realm.

She was the same as the Four Great Kings in the martial arts course. They were all in Spirit Tattoo Realm. In fact, she might even have fewer main meridians cleared compared to Sun Ya.

But her fearless killing intent, reckless fighting style, use of her environment, and rich fighting experience made Meng Chao think that he was facing off a female version of himself.

If he fought against an equal who understood him, they would be improving together neck to neck. This was the fastest way for them to cultivate. It was also a way for him to figure out what was lacking in him and the Ultimate Style.

“This is fun!”

The two of them fought against each other again, but they switched places this time. They moved to the branch the other had crouched on before and noticed that both of them had taken care of their branches. They used hidden forces to destroy them, so only a layer of tree bark was left. The branches were only hanging horizontally in the air without anything holding them up.

Both of them fell down at the same time.

The Ghost Leopard pounced at Meng Chao from the bottom.

Meng Chao threw three dissection blades at Wu Wu while in midair.

When they finished this round of attacks, three bloody gashes had appeared on their chests and shoulders, but their smiles were even brighter.

Meng Chao was stirred up by Wu Wu. He remembered a lot of the shocking fights from his previous life, and those memories quickly turned into muscle memory and nerve reactions.

Wu Wu was also stirred up by Meng Chao. She remembered the howling mountains and forests, along with the fun of running free in the wild.

Meng Chao was almost out of dissection blades. His coat was also torn to pieces, so he decided to just yank off his shirt, revealing a built body shining with a metallic light.

Wu Wu growled from the bottom of her throat. She tore off her loose and ripped up uniform, which revealed a thin and short elastic vest.

There were a few holes on the vest. The left shoulder strap was torn off, and it looked like it was about to fall off.

Wu Wu frowned and was about to tear off the vest so that she could show off her body, just like Meng Chao did by revealing his built chest and abs.

“Stop!” Meng Chao hastily said. “Wu Wu, what are you doing?”

Wu Wu stopped and stared at him in displeasure as if she was asking “Why are you the only one allowed to remove your shirt?”

“Um...” Meng Chao scratched his head and pointed at the tears and holes on her vest. “Aren’t you going to cover up yourself?”

“I don’t have boobs, why should I cover myself?” Wu Wu pursed her lips impatiently. “Being a human is trouble!”
