Chapter 214: Chapter 139: Each Showing Their Divine Techniques

VWOOM—!

A single strike.

In an instant, all the mutated giant rats within ten meters were sliced in half at the waist.

Fresh red rat blood splattered all over the ground.

The scene was utterly horrifying and shocking.

"Wh-what is going on?!"

Hu Zhou was dumbfounded, unable to believe what he was seeing.

His face a mask of shock, he turned to Gu Qing beside him, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Senior, Xiaoxia is..."

BOOM—!

Once again, his words were cut short, this time by a violent wave of heat.

The Qi Blood Power inside Gu Qing’s body erupted. Wisps of scorching, crimson Qi Blood Power surged from every pore, enveloping his body in layers of red light.

For a moment, he looked like a Demon God walking out of Purgatory. A terrifying pressure washed over Hu Zhou, making it hard for him to breathe.

"This, this, this..."

Seeing that Gu Qing could also be covered in red light, Hu Zhou’s jaw dropped. His mind went completely blank, and he stood frozen in place, utterly stunned.

Gu Qing looked straight ahead and gently patted him on the shoulder, his tone calm.

"Junior, you should leave the field quickly so you don’t get caught in the aftershock."

With those nonchalant words, Gu Qing walked straight toward the tide of rats.

Qi Blood Power surged in his hands.

In his left hand, he materialized a two-meter-long Blood-colored Giant Crossbow.

In his right, a thick, sharp Blood-colored Arrow.

The moment the Crossbow Arrow was fully formed,

Gu Qing stopped walking.

He raised his arms and effortlessly drew the taut bowstring.

He calmly nocked the thick, sharp arrow from his right hand onto the string.

VWOOSH—!

A piercing whistle cut through the air.

The arrow shot out, angling steeply into the sky at incredible speed.

When it passed a hundred meters in altitude,

the arrow suddenly split apart.

It transformed into hundreds of fine, sharp, miniature Blood Arrows.

They rained down like a sudden squall,

precisely blanketing the swarming rat horde on the ground.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The Blood Arrows all exploded the instant they hit the ground, letting out a series of muffled detonations.

Then, brutal waves of Qi Blood Power radiated outward from each point of impact.

The mutated giant rats within a ten-meter radius had no time to escape.

The spreading heat instantly seared them into charred, shriveled corpses, which piled up on the ground in layers.

In an instant, the acrid stench of burnt flesh, mixed with the unique sewer-like odor of the rats, filled the entire field.

Hu Zhou stood there dumbly, staring blankly at the apocalyptic scene before him.

If not for the very real sweat beading on his skin and the distinct smell of burning in his nostrils,

he would have suspected that everything he was seeing was fake.

That he had fallen asleep in class and was dreaming.

’What in the world is going on?’

’Why are Xiaoxia and that senior both glowing red and fighting like War Gods?’

’And what the hell is that phantom behind Xiaoxia?’

The more Hu Zhou watched, the more incredulous he became. His dark face was a mask of existential crisis, his spirit crushed.

In the past few days, he had been leveraging his rapidly growing muscles and exponentially increased core strength to post a series of difficult street workout videos on Douyin.

One-finger planches, one-finger handstand push-ups, one-finger explosive muscle-ups...

He completed all sorts of incredibly difficult street workout moves with ease, completely effortlessly.

As soon as the videos were released, they blew up in street workout circles both at home and abroad. The comment sections were filled with shock and adoration.

His confidence swelled to its absolute peak.

He started walking with his chin held high, nose in the air, convinced he was invincible. He believed it was only a matter of time before he shocked the world with his impossibly powerful muscles.

But now, after personally witnessing Gu Qing and Xia Shuran unleash world-destroying power with a mere lift of their hands,

he suddenly realized what a fucking idiot he had been for showing off his muscles in front of them.

It was like a caveman taking a sharp stone spear he’d spent ages sharpening and parading it in front of the highly advanced Three-Body People. Utterly laughable.

At the same time, the huge commotion erupting from the field woke up students in the surrounding dorm buildings.

Many students got out of bed, walked onto their balconies, and leaned over the railings to peer at the field from afar.

When they saw the deep crater in the center of the field, the ground covered in terrifyingly large rats, and two figures exterminating them with what looked like god-like powers with maxed-out special effects,

everyone froze on their balconies, completely aghast.

Soon, some of them snapped out of it, immediately pulling out their phones to start recording, their cameras locked tightly on the two figures.

Within tens of seconds, the live videos they shot were being furiously reposted and spread like wildfire through the school forums, class group chats, and club groups.

In less than half an hour, nearly every student and teacher in the school had heard about it.

Curiosity got the better of some students, who immediately dashed out of their dorms and headed for the field.

They wanted to see it with their own eyes,

to find out if the incredible scenes in the videos were real.

However, before these reckless college students could even get close to the field, they were stopped by the Security Officers standing guard nearby.

Before long, three Extraordinary Awakened arrived on the scene.

Wu Jiahao, desperate to show off, was the first to charge into the center of the field, yelling at Gu Qing and Xia Shuran, who were rampaging through the rat tide:

"Making such a huge scene and you didn’t even tell me to come show off with you? That’s just low!"

As he spoke, he had already charged like lightning into the dense black mass of the rat tide.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the balconies of the nearby dorms, packed with student onlookers.

Seeing so many top students from a 985 university watching the battle,

he, a vocational college student, decisively stopped. He turned to face the dorm buildings and allowed dozens of mutated giant rats to pounce on him, burying him completely in the rat tide.

He was going to show these 985 top students his true power.

He would let them know that a good vocational student was no worse than them!

In fact, far better!

"Lei Gong, aid me!!!"

Suddenly, a deafening shout came from the spot where he had been buried by the rats.

The instant the voice rang out,

a vast, dazzling blue light erupted from beneath the rat tide.

Immediately after,

a series of sharp CRACKLES could be heard.

Countless blue-white arcs of electricity danced wildly.

In just a brief moment,

they had electrocuted the mutated giant rats covering Wu Jiahao, sending them into convulsions.

Then, one by one, they turned black and started smoking.

They were all turned into lifeless corpses.

As these completely carbonized rat corpses fell away one by one, the previously buried Wu Jiahao was revealed once more, returning to everyone’s view.

At this moment, his body was covered in crackling blue-white arcs of electricity. He had transformed into a living Thunder King walking the earth.

He radiated an intensely oppressive aura.

He looked incredibly impressive.

Seeing that many of the students on the dorm balconies had their eyes fixed on him,

Wu Jiahao felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

He immediately raised both arms high above his head, tilted his head back, and let out a long, powerful roar:

"Lei Gong, aid me!!!"

The moment he shouted, the electricity in his hands surged, and a dazzling ball of lightning formed between them.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes,

he took the ball lightning in one hand and, like a shot-putter, violently threw it toward the horde of mutated giant rats ahead.

Wherever the ball lightning passed, massive numbers of mutated giant rats convulsed violently. In the blink of an eye, they were charred black and smoking, dropping dead on the spot.

Following right behind Wu Jiahao, Zhao Chuan and Liu Yue also charged into the rat swarm.

The two of them weren’t as dramatic as Wu Jiahao; they weren’t attention-seekers trying to draw everyone’s eyes.

Instead, they immediately unleashed their deadliest moves.

They eliminated the mutated giant rats in their sight with maximum speed.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

Zhao Chuan continuously detonated Qi Blood Bombs.

The fiery explosions engulfed large swaths of the rat swarm, blasting them into flying bits of flesh and gore, leaving no whole corpses behind.

Liu Yue’s methods weren’t as explosive as Zhao Chuan’s, but they were unspeakably eerie.

Wherever her gaze swept, the mutated giant rats in her line of sight would start bleeding from all seven facial orifices, their eyeballs bulging. After a few seconds of convulsions, they would drop dead, their deaths horrific.

Hu Zhou stood on the outskirts of the battlefield.

He quietly watched the others display their Divine Techniques, freely slaughtering the mutated giant rats.

In that moment, his mind was reeling from an unprecedented shock.

The look on his face was one of pure existential crisis.

’So the whole world awakened world-destroying Superpowers, and I’m the only one still sticking to old-school bodybuilding?’

’Is that right?’

’Is that even fucking reasonable?!’
