Chapter 658 - 660: 654: Referee Interference

“`

The tyrannical power devoured everything, and a silver figure shot backward like a meteor before finally piercing through the water and smashing violently against the mountain wall, creating a small Water Curtain Cave with a diameter of several hundred meters beneath the waterfall.

This astonishing scene caused Rudolf Sherwood a moment of dumbfounded silence, nearly causing him to release his Bond Coordination due to the excessive shock.

“What kind of monster is this!!!”

Rudolf Sherwood glanced at David Jones’s pale fist, feeling as if he were dreaming.

Body Cultivation is not like Arcane Star Cultivation, it requires years of arduous training and enduring the agony of marrow cleansing and blood exchange. In Flowery Kingdom, the most renowned Body Cultivator, Grand Dragon, was just celebrating his fortieth birthday when he broke through to Class VI King.

And how old is David Jones now? He has managed to cultivate his physique to such a level and also breakthrough to Class VI of the Arcane Star.

No wonder Rosewood College has been as stable as Mt. Kilimanjaro, allowing David Jones to lead the newcomers in competition, there was sufficient confidence behind it.

While Rudolf Sherwood was shocked, the scene that had just occurred was recorded by a Machinery Pet and played back at a forty times slower speed.

David Jones’s clean and powerful punch instantly made the entire audience’s pupils shrink and gasp in amazement, contributing to global warming.

“Hiss, is this still a human!”

“That’s completely a humanoid tyrannosaurus!”

“Something’s not right, we’re both humans, but when I throw a punch I feel like my bones are creaking, as if they’d break at any moment. David Jones, on the other hand, just blasted away a Class VI pet with one punch!”

“Bro, is it possible that you’re just too weak!” said a sympathetic spectator nearby.

In the Arcane Force-saturated Blue Star, girls who can’t knock down small trees with a punch are mostly malnourished, which causes their strength to lag behind, let alone males who are inherently stronger.

…

“This brat has finally shown his true skills!” Blake Easton said with a profound look in his eyes from the VIP seats.

“That Zodiac Mech looks a bit dangerous, if David Jones gets a bit more careless he could very well lose.”

At this, Tracy Harvey smiled lightly, as if imagining the scene of David Jones’s defeat.

“That won’t happen.”

Blake Easton paused for a moment, “But if he really loses, then let him repeat the freshman year and deal with the issue of cutting classes…”

Seeing Principal Easton start to recount past grievances, Tracy Harvey shook her head silently.

Legendary powerhouses stood high above all, revered and respected, but only those who had truly interacted with them knew that legends were also human, with emotions and desires, and could lay waste to millions out of a single bout of anger.

…

“What a pity, it wasn’t completely resolved.”

David Jones retracted his fist, his gaze focusing on the pit where smoke and steam were billowing upward.

At that moment, a dreadfully overwhelming Domination, striking straight to the heart, emanated from the direction of the Zodiac Mech.

“Is the feast about to begin? Rainbow, dispose of the opponent with maximal speed!” David Jones thought to himself.

“Yi!” (No problem!)

Rainbow Spirit Dragon patted its own chest, releasing Holy Entanglement and trying to smooth the white marks on its Dragon Scales with its claws, until the azure Dragon Scales took on a layer of faint black light from the crystallized Dragon Blood, exuding a mysterious and noble aura.

With a soaring dragon chant, Rainbow Spirit Dragon’s fearsome will suddenly descended, its colossal Psychic Power even triggering seasonal atmospheric changes, bringing forth thunder from clear skies.

Boom!

The thunderclouds surged, the gale howled, and a series of scorching electrical arcs shuttled and flickered continuously among the clouds, casting Rainbow Spirit Dragon’s vast Dragon Body in a light as if the God of Thunder had descended, making the Zodiac Mech, on the verge of coming into being, nearly collapse under this heavenly might.

“`

“Boom!” The spreading thunder struck down in an instant.

Severely wounded and with patches of green blood remaining on its body, the Sharp Silver Mantid’s pupils shrank as an instinctive fear of the thunder made it retreat to evade.

However, this bolt of lightning was just the prelude. Under the dual enhancements of Rain Dance and Absolute Will, Rainbow almost felt as if she were a deity in control of heavenly punishment, able to unleash endless and merciless thunder to obliterate any existence that dared defy her will with just a thought.

“Bond Skill*Sky Sharp*Ultimate Kill!”

Not daring to be careless, fearing defeat in the next second, Rudolf Sherwood immediately played his trump card.

His Innate Talent “Intent to Kill” could elevate the power of his Pet by a level during battle or more precisely, life-and-death combat.

In a situation where death lurked at every turn, it could even allow his Pet to deliver a blow comparable to that of a Class VII Overlord.

But the grandeur of the national competition was far from a life-and-death situation, so the amplification from Intent to Kill did not let the Sharp Silver Mantid touch the barrier of the Class VI apex.

“Cut through him!”

With the Trainer’s resolve, the Sharp Silver Mantid moved with a speed that skyrocketed to its limit, its twin blades crossed, channeling its entire strength for the most paramount slash of its life.

The target of this slash was not the godlike Rainbow, but David Jones, on the back of the Rainbow Spirit Dragon.

“Such speed!”

David Jones hadn’t even seen the Sharp Silver Mantid’s figure when he felt an extremely sharp intent of the blade aiming directly at him, leaving a shallow slash on his right cheek instantly.

Needless to say, a shocking strike was imminent, but David Jones made no move, even deliberately suppressing the protective instincts of the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor, to avoid being declared a rule violation for using a Defensive Arcane Implement and suffering a defeat.

He believed that in front of Rainbow, no Pet could harm him.

Thunderous boom!!!

Countless bolts of lightning struck down, with Rainbow coiling her body into a circle to shield David Jones at her core, her Dragon Scales shining brightly with electric light.

Anyone seeing this scene of innumerable lightning protecting the body would think Rainbow was a thunder-typed Flood Dragon; however, this was merely the release of Rain Dance.

What lay hidden beneath the thunder was the true deadly move: the Power of Heavenly Frost that triggered the Spatial Frostquake*Space Storm.

“Snap!”

Perceiving the change in the surrounding Space Power, the Sharp Silver Mantid did not retreat but instead unleashed all the Arcane Force stored within its body, vowing to explode with this slash, the Sky Sharp*Ultimate Kill fused with conviction.

In that moment, no matter what stood before it, the Sharp Silver Mantid was confident it could cut through with a single strike.

Thunderous boom!

The lightning annihilated, the Dragon Scales shattered.

The moment he saw the Dragon Blood splatter, the Sharp Silver Mantid thought it had won, but Rainbow’s calm gaze sent a chill down its spine.

“Crackle, crackle!”

Just then, the dreadful Power of Heavenly Frost erupted, and dark cracks in space enveloped the Sharp Silver Mantid completely, rendering it trapped like a bird in a cage with nowhere to escape.

“Chirp!” (You are strong, but I am stronger!)

As Rainbow’s voice fell, layers of icy frost silently enveloped the Sharp Silver Mantid.

The next second, the continuous noise of space shattering, like the footsteps of death, rang out nonstop, making it feel the imminent threat of death.

At this moment, Rudolf Sherwood, having depleted his Arcane Force to the limit, also shivered, and Bond Coordination was unavoidably dispelled, causing the Pet to withdraw from its Sharp Silver Mantid form.

Seeing this, Elsa Hoyle’s Pet on her shoulder immediately intervened to prevent a terrible incident of a competitor’s Pet dying in the match.
