Chapter 212: Chapter 138: Giant Rat Tide

Hearing this, Hu Zhou was immediately ready to challenge him to another spar, to wash away the shame of being beaten by him in calisthenics.

However, just as the words of challenge reached the tip of his tongue,

his attention was drawn to the tent beside them.

He asked in confusion:

"What the hell is this tent?"

"No idea."

Gu Qing told a bald-faced lie. "This tent was already here when we arrived."

As he spoke, he extended his Spiritual Power toward Hu Zhou, checking to see if he carried the scent of rats.

For someone to suddenly appear on the sealed-off field this early in the morning, it was hard not to suspect he was a follower of the Rat God Cult.

Hu Zhou was no longer concerned with the tent. He looked at Gu Qing with a sharp gaze and said:

"I lost last time in calisthenics. I admit it."

"But what I want to say is—"

"I’m not the same weak guy I was before."

"Now, I’m terrifyingly strong."

"Do you dare to spar with me again?"

As he spoke, Hu Zhou deliberately tensed his body, making the trapezius muscles on his shoulders bulge, giving him an imposing aura.

Seeing how the other guy’s traps were so huge they looked like they were about to squeeze his head off like a pimple, Gu Qing laughed.

"What, still sore about losing last time? Want to challenge me again?"

"No, you’re wrong."

Hu Zhou raised an index finger, wagging it with a smirk. "Now, *you’re* the one challenging *me*!"

Gu Qing’s eyebrow twitched. "Me, challenge you?"

The corner of Hu Zhou’s mouth curled into a slight smile. He pulled off his tank top right in front of them, revealing his extremely well-developed upper body.

His eyes filled with confidence, he said, "See these muscles?"

"With that delicate skin of yours, you think you’re stronger than me?"

"And a challenge is always issued by the weak to the strong. You’re weaker than me, so naturally, it’s you who’s challenging me."

Over the past few days, Hu Zhou had discovered his muscles had suddenly gotten much bigger.

Every cell in his body seemed to be filled with endless, explosive power.

He believed that, having been completely transformed, he could now easily crush Gu Qing and get his revenge.

"What?"

Hu Zhou threw the question right back at Gu Qing, goading him. "Are you intimidated by these muscles? Scared to spar with me?"

The moment he finished speaking, Xia Shuran stepped forward, her gaze sharp. "If you want to challenge my senior, you’ll have to get through me first!"

"Xiaoxia, you..."

Hu Zhou was completely dumbfounded.

’What’s going on? Since when did the beauty of our physical education department become such a simp?’

’Just what has he done to her?’

’Sigh, Xiaoxia’s probably been ruined by this scumbag from another department. She’s completely his now, inside and out.’

Hu Zhou lamented silently.

Just then.

Hm?

Gu Qing suddenly frowned.

The Spiritual Power he had sent out earlier detected countless tiny but potent life forms deep underground, rapidly approaching the surface directly below him.

Before he could even process what was happening,

the entire ground beneath his feet began to tremble slightly.

As the swarm of life forms drew closer to the surface, the tremors grew more violent.

"What the hell?"

"An earthquake?"

Hu Zhou stumbled, his face filled with panic from the shaking.

In front of him, Xia Shuran’s face also paled. She instinctively reached out and grabbed Gu Qing’s arm, her eyes filled with terror. "Senior, what’s happening?"

Gu Qing had no time to answer his junior, focusing all his effort on sensing the life forms beneath the ground.

The next second—

BOOM!

The field beneath their feet suddenly collapsed on a massive scale.

An enormous sinkhole abruptly appeared in the center of the field.

Immediately after, a flood of abnormally large rats poured out of the sinkhole, covering the entire field in a dense, writhing mass and emitting a nauseating stench.
