Chapter 321: Hope...
On the vast ocean.
The strong winds were gathering dark clouds.
Between the dark clouds and the ocean, there was a petrel flying proudly.
Snap!
A gust of wind with a terrifying force blew past, and the petrel instantly exploded into a pile of meat.
Boom!
Boom…
The battle between the two Level 9 beasts successfully caused a change in the weather.
Above them, there were rolling dark clouds.
Below them, there were ferocious roaring waves.
Under the echo of thunder and lightning, the dark clouds would fall to the sea from time to time. The waves would also break through the dark clouds from time to time.
Between the sea and the sky, everything became deep and dark.
Only the roars of the two terrifying giants were left, piercing through the heaven and earth.
Chen Yu’s commentary had already stopped.
He did not have any extra energy to talk. Other than tightly hugging the sharp spikes on the crocodile’s head, he could not do anything else.
Crash — Bang!
[Damage received: Qi and Blood +2306]
Pfft…
Suddenly, a wave that was hundreds of meters long came crashing down and hit Chen Yu’s body, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
“This… This god is going to run away.”
“Otherwise, I’ll die here sooner or later.”
Holding the sharp spike tightly, Chen Yu wiped the seawater off his face. He stuck his head out to look down for a while, and couldn’t help but feel his scalp go numb.
The seawater beneath the two Level 9 exotic beasts was no longer seawater.
It was equivalent to a huge meat grinder.
The swirling currents, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, collided with each other.
Chen Yu estimated that if he jumped down, he would be smashed into mud in less than half a second…
“It’s done.”
Retracting his gaze, Chen Yu shouted at the two exotic beasts, “The fight has already lasted for an hour. Halftime, halftime!”
Gorilla: “Roar!!”
Crocodile: “Woo–”
Chen Yu: “If you guys aren’t tired, the referee is tired too!”
“Roar…”
“Woo woo!”
Chen Yu: “…”
Chen Yu: “Alright, my dear viewers, there’s been an accident at the venue. The contestants from both sides have gotten so angry that they won’t even listen to the referee’s words. So next…”
Huala —
Chen Yu: “Pfft.”
Spitting out another mouthful of blood, Chen Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “Next, it’s commercial time. Please don’t change the channel. Continue to lock onto the Ultimate Combat Competition’s Maritime Finals…”
Huala!
“The finals…”
Huala!
“Finals…”
Huala!
“Can you let me finish?”
Huala…
At the same time.
On the shore dozens of miles away.
Tens of thousands of martial artists were also nervously and busily defending themselves.
The difference was that, compared to an hour ago, the main focus of the people’s defense had changed from exotic beasts to ocean waves.
Without being present, one would never be able to feel the ocean waves that were hundreds of meters high crashing down. What kind of visual shock was that?
What kind of spiritual impact was that?
It was an illusion that the entire world seemed to have been ‘turned upside down’.
As far as the eye could see, it was all ‘pure black’ seawater.
One could not tell whether the ocean was in the sky or on the ground…
“It’s coming again! Form a formation! Gather Qi!”
As another huge wave over 500 meters was formed, the sound of the Principal of Beijing University could be heard from the city wall.
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang…
The warriors gathered in small teams and lit up over 1,000 spirit-gathering formations to pour Qi into them.
In the center of each spirit-gathering formation stood a senior fighter above Level 6 who was responsible for turning the surging energy into a martial art shield to block the seawater that was as heavy as Mount Tai.
“The moment I saw the spirit-gathering formation, I thought of Duan Ye.”
Standing beside Xu Ruo and Zhang Yanyan, Zhang Tie sighed as he gathered Qi. “I wonder whether that brat is alive or dead.”
“Why did you think of Duan Ye?”
“He’s a genius in Qi martial arts.” Zhang Tie raised his head and looked at the approaching waves, “Especially in gathering Qi.”
“I remember that.” Zhang Yanyan continued, “When we were in the underground area of Tang City, Duan Ye used a Level 1 spirit-gathering formation and reached Level 4.”
Xu Ruo: “…Terrifying.”
“…Elite Class 2.” Zhang Tie sighed, “He’s really an elite. They’re the most elite group of students that I’ve ever taught. What a pity, the heavens are jealous of talented people.”
“By the way, why did those two Level 9 exotic beasts fight each other?” Xu Ruo was confused.
“I’m not sure. As soon as they started to fight, the boiling steam covered the surface of the sea. I couldn’t see anything clearly.”
“Don’t worry about that.” Zhang Yanyan waved her hand. “In short, it’s a good thing for the exotic beasts to fight each other. At least 70% of the exotic beasts nearby died at their feet.”
“Enough Qi-gathering.” Suddenly, the Level 6 fighter in the spirit-gathering formation opened his eyes and shouted, “Retreat!”
Zhang Tie and the others became spirited as they immediately hid behind the spirit-gathering formation.
“All of you…”
At this moment, the command of the Principal of Beijing University sounded, “3,2…”
“1!”
“Shield formation!”
Dong, dong, dong…
Strong wind whistled as battle Qi swept across.
Thousands of transparent shields suddenly appeared in the sky above the long city wall. They took the initiative to attack and meet the surging seawater.
“…”
Boom!
However, they heard a deafening loud sound!
The ‘ocean’ was torn into pieces.
There were also thousands of large shields that were also broken.
Crash…
Then, the seawater scattered down, but it had already lost its kinetic energy. It was very difficult to cause harm to a group of martial artists that surpassed ordinary people.
“Continue! Gather!”
The ten thousand martial artists heard the sound and went into an uproar. They placed their hands on the spirit-gathering formation one after another, instilling what little strength they had left.
“Sir.”
On the command platform, the female assistant ran over. Her voice was so excited that it was choked with sobs. She handed over a document with a trembling voice. “This is the radar scan image taken by the early-warning unit. I… It seems like we’re going to win! The Beast Tide nearby has been dispersed.”
Hearing this, the Principal of Beijing University’s eyebrows jumped wildly, but he still tried hard to suppress his ecstasy. “These aren’t important. The main thing is those two Level 9 exotic beasts. If they participate in the battle, Shanghai won’t be able to hold on.”
“But they’ve been fighting for an hour.” The female assistant’s breathing was rapid. “At least one of them will die, right?”
The Principal of Beijing University turned around and asked, “Has Japan been notified?”
“Yes.” The female assistant nodded. “That Level 9 Lord from Japan heard about the changes on our side and rushed here early.”
“How late will she arrive?”
“Three hours.”
“Mm.” Taking a deep breath, the Principal of Beijing University told himself to calm down in his heart. He said, “As long as those two exotic beasts fight for another three hours, everything… will be hopeful.”
“Yeah,” the female assistant suddenly cried out.
As a high-ranking official, she was planning for more information.
Based on the current intelligence analysis, there was no need for the two beasts to fight for three hours.
As long as they continued to fight for another two hours, the probability of victory in Shanghai would reach 70%!
“We defeated the Beast Tide…”
The female assistant felt as if she was in a dream.
Not to mention after the battle of the capital city, even before the battle of the capital city, defeating the Beast Tide was only in people’s imagination.
At most, some directors would film ‘anti-exotic beast dramas,’ and they would be scolded by the audience for being unrealistic.
However, there really was a day when mankind actually had a chance to defeat the exotic beasts…
Slap!
The female assistant raised her hand and slapped herself hard.
The force was so strong that blood oozed out of her nostrils.
“What… What are you doing?” The Principal of Beijing University was stunned.
“I want to make sure… This is not a dream.” The female assistant covered her face and laughed while tears flowed down her cheeks. “We will really win…”
“We haven’t won yet.” The Principal of Beijing University extended his hand and grabbed the female assistant’s shoulders tightly. His tone was grave. “This is just the beginning. At the crucial moment, calmness is the most important thing. Don’t delay the delivery of the instructions.”
“Don’t worry.” Wiping her tears, the female assistant’s gaze was sharp. “We will definitely not slow you down.”
“Mm. What’s the observation result of the intersecting device?”
“The two Level 9 beasts have both suffered serious injuries. Their strength has decreased by 12%. With the current intensity of the battle, in another three hours, it will drop below 50%.”
“Have you analyzed the cause of their internal strife?”
“Not yet.”
The female assistant shook her head. “In the middle of the battle, the sea fog is too thick, so I can’t see anything from a distance. At close range… the reconnaissance department will be pushed out by the chaotic squall within a dozen kilometers.”
“…Continue to observe.”
“Yes.”
After the female assistant left, the Principal of Beijing University looked at the ‘churning’ sea level in the distance, his emotions fluctuating like the seawater.
‘If we can find out the reason for the internal strife between the two exotic beasts…’
‘Humanity will really be saved.’
…
“If this goes on, I won’t be saved.”
Lying on the head of the crocodile, Chen Yu wished he could nail himself onto the body of the exotic beast.
The word ‘tragic’ couldn’t describe the battle between two Level 9 beasts.
Even the vast seawater beneath him had turned a bright red color.
What was even more bizarre was that even at this time, both sides’ favorability toward Chen Yu was still soaring.
[Bing Bing Favorability +22]
[Flower Favorability +21]
[Bing Bing Desire +105]
[…]
The higher the favorability, the more jealous it would be.
The higher the desire, the more irritable it would be.
This caused the two of them to really fight to the death. If it attacked, it would definitely kill the other side!
Dong!
Just as Chen Yu was using his wise brain to look for a way out, the black-haired gorilla made a mistake in its position. It was hit by the crocodile and lost its balance.
Its huge body slowly fell backward.
‘A chance!’
Chen Yu’s eyes lit up. He had forgotten about the idea of retreating. He quickly stood up and waved his hand. “Use Rocket Hammer!”
“Wuuuuu –”
The crocodile’s body sank slightly. It opened its bloody mouth and gathered a huge ball of force at a speed that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
“Wuuu!”
Boom boom boom…
The vast force turned into a scorching flame the moment it was released!
The flame was like a dragon!
It formed a ‘?’ character with a diameter of more than 100 meters in the air and aimed at the black-furred gorilla’s chest.
Chen Yu said, “It’s Rocket Hammer. I didn’t ask you to use the ‘?’ character Flame Burst…”
“Roar!”
The eyes of the fallen gorilla flashed with a fierce light. It opened its mouth to accumulate energy.
Seeing this, Chen Yu shouted, “Primeape! Quickly use Thunderbolt!”
Gorilla: “…”
“Roar –”
The next moment, the black-furred gorilla expanded its power and spat out a huge ball of light, ferociously crashing into the ‘?’ shaped flame.
Chen Yu’s wise eyes focused, and he fell to the ground without hesitation.
Boom!
The sky and earth paled.
The ocean was boiling!
On the coastline dozens of miles away, before people could react, the ‘earth’ in front of them had already curled up towards them…
It was actually a wave that was thousands of meters high…
“How… How is this possible?”
The Principal of Beijing University, who was in charge of commanding, suddenly narrowed his eyes and roared almost instinctively, “Form a shield!”
Dong dong dong…
Thousands of shields were immediately erected on the city wall.
“No… that’s not right.” The Principal instantly reacted. “The shield can’t block it. Change… Change the shield to an isosceles triangle with the sharp part facing up!”
After hearing this, the senior fighters in the spirit-gathering formation hesitated for a short while before changing the shape of the shield.
From a flat shield, they changed into three-dimensional triangle.
“After the triangle, set up the shield again! All the warriors stand up!”
After hearing the command.
In the corner of the city wall, Zhang Tie pulled Xu Ruo and Zhang Yanyan behind him. Closely after that, he pressed his palms together and squeezed out a small shield less than 10 m in diameter from his almost exhausted dantian.
He blocked the huge triangle.
“Too shabby.” The Level 6 fighter in the spirit-gathering formation complained helplessly, “Can this shield be smaller?”
Zhang Tie panted, “It’s too weak. Look, there’s someone shabby than me.”
The Level 6 fighter turned around and looked over there.
‘As I expected.’.
Zhang Tie’s ’10 meter small shield’ was pretty good.
Next door, that shield only had a diameter of half a meter…
“Ahh…” The fighter who had formed the half meter small shield felt the stares of Zhang Tie and the others. He then turned around awkwardly, “It’s more important to participate, more important to participate…”
“Here it comes!”
“Lie down!”
“Hold on…”
Hearing the sudden noise on the city wall, Zhang Tie recovered his composure. He then subconsciously protected Xu Ruo and Zhang Yanyan. “Hold your breath!”
“The tsunami is coming!”
Boom ——
The sky crashed down.
At the same time, it collided with the rows of triangles.
The special structure of the triangles cut off the seawater.
However, due to the heavy kinetic energy carried by the 1,000 m large waves, only three-fifths of the triangles were cut off before they were crushed by the terrifying high pressure.
However, the thousands of shields of different sizes could not even withstand ‘a split second’.
Boom!
They crashed down.
The city wall collapsed instantly…
…
After the light ball and the flame character collided and exploded, Chen Yu raised his head tentatively.
He discovered that there was only a thin layer of seawater left.
As for the black-haired gorilla, it had already become a hairless gorilla. Lying flat on the surface of the sea, it was unknown whether it was alive or dead.
But Chen Yu didn’t think it was dead.
Because its third leg was like a heavenly stone pillar, so straight…
“So fierce.”
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and looked down at his own. “It’s on par with me.”
The gorilla: “…”
“Woo woo!”
The crocodile jumped up excitedly and raised its claws, ready to stab at the gorilla’s throat.
“Wait!” Chen Yu immediately stopped it.
The crocodile pretended not to hear him and instead sped up its attack.
Although it was in the sea, it was its home ground. It was confident that if it fought again, the other party would not be its opponent.
However, the other party was also Level 9. It was best if it could end the battle quickly…
“Stop! Do not attack again after defeat!” Chen Yu stood up, his eyes full of wisdom were particularly serious. “If you dare to kill it, then I will be the man you will never get.”
“Woo…”
The crocodile stopped moving.
“Purr…”
The gorilla opened its right eye and looked at Chen Yu.
This human…
Still loved it a little more…
“Countdown. Ten, nine, eight…” Chen Yu lay on the head of the crocodile and used his right hand to slap it in a professional referee position. “Seven, six, five, come on! You can do it! For love! Four, three…”
“Roar… Roar roar!!”
The gorilla’s body was full of energy. It roared as it got up and beat its chest crazily.
Dong dong dong dong…
“Roar –”
“Beautiful!” Chen Yu clenched his fists excitedly. “The away player is standing up! The final of the ultimate combat competition at sea, the second round, continue…”
Pfft–
Before he could finish, gorilla beat itself until it vomited blood.
Chen Yu: “…If you hit it with this strength, wouldn’t you win?”
