Chapter 142: Chapter 131: Finally, an Opponent Who Can Force Me to Use Super Gigantification, Take My Staff!

"Roaring Tide!"

The long rod was raised high, carrying a heavy whistling sound as it tore through the air. Like a massive wave crashing against the shore, it smashed down ruthlessly.

Qiao Chiyuan could only raise his halberd once more to block.

BOOM!

With another loud crash, he was knocked back several steps again.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Ji Zhixing brought the rod down again and again, each strike seemingly heavier and faster than the last.

"If it weren’t for this awful environment..." Qiao Chiyuan gritted his teeth, his expression ugly and his chest tight with frustration. He excelled at hit-and-run tactics and fierce, sharp attacks. Under normal circumstances, he was confident he could outmaneuver Ji Zhixing and even find a flaw to secure a one-hit victory. But the environment here was all wrong. The endless swarms of Seven-Color Spirit Bees countered his fighting style perfectly.

"Ji Zhixing, don’t think I’m afraid of you! If you really push me too far..." Qiao Chiyuan took a deep breath.

"Push you too far? And what can you do about it?" Ji Zhixing sneered, not even waiting for him to finish. Taking a large stride forward, he caught up to Qiao Chiyuan once again.

"Good, good, good! You brought this upon yourself!"

Seeing this, a vicious glint flashed in Qiao Chiyuan’s eyes. He knew that if this continued, he would eventually be worn down to death right here. Rather than retreating in humiliation, he might as well risk it all.

"Genetic Forbidden Technique: Dawn Ascension!"

With a single thought, the golden light radiating from his body suddenly intensified. The golden light turned almost tangible, erupting from his body to form a thick, golden, protective barrier around him. Countless Seven-Color Spirit Bees swarmed toward him, but the moment they touched the golden barrier, they were instantly obliterated.

Immediately after, a pair of golden wings abruptly materialized on his back. With a wingspan of about two meters, the wings were entirely golden. Every single feather was distinct, radiating a dazzling brilliance.

As soon as the wings appeared, his aura skyrocketed to its absolute limit.

BOOM!

A terrifying aura erupted from his body, sending shockwaves rolling outward and blasting away all the surrounding Seven-Color Spirit Bees. With a flap of his wings, he shot into the sky, soaring twelve or thirteen meters high. From his elevated vantage point, he looked down at Ji Zhixing.

"Does a mere elite class student really think he’s invincible just because he has the environmental advantage?" he scoffed inwardly.

A trace of coldness flashed through Qiao Chiyuan’s eyes as he hovered high in the air, staring down at his opponent. The Forbidden Technique he had just unleashed allowed him to explode with immense power for a short duration while granting him the ability to fly.

The downside was its extremely short duration. It consumed an exorbitant amount of genetic source energy and would leave him in a weakened state afterward. Using this Forbidden Technique within the Seven-Colored Flower Sea meant that once it wore off, he would inevitably be overwhelmed by the countless Seven-Color Spirit Bees and teleported out. But even so, he was determined to make Ji Zhixing pay.

"When I tell you to get lost, you get lost!"

Down below, Ji Zhixing watched Qiao Chiyuan ascend into the sky and suddenly took a deep breath.

"Super Gigantification!"

With a thought, the Ten-foot Stone Monkey gene within him jolted violently. An even more overwhelming power surged from his gene nodes, instantly spreading to every limb and bone in his body. His body began to shoot up once again.

Two point seven meters, three meters, three and a half meters, four meters...

In the blink of an eye, his height skyrocketed from two point seven meters to over four meters. He looked like a moving mountain. The Nine-Tiered Tide Rod in his grasp expanded as well, its length surging from three and a half meters to over five meters. It became as thick as a woman’s waist, exuding a heavy, suffocating pressure.

His grayish-white petrified armor covered his entire body. In this state of Super Gigantification, the layer of armor grew even thicker. Five-Colored Spiritual Light flowed beneath the armor. The five interweaving colors illuminated him, making him look like a descending god.

Ji Zhixing tilted his head up and looked at Qiao Chiyuan, who was hovering twelve or thirteen meters in the air, looking down at him. A sneer touched Ji Zhixing’s lips.

Before this, he had never once used Super Gigantification in combat against another person. There had never been a need to. No one had ever forced him to reveal this move. But this genius class student from Feng City University was qualified!

"Take another strike!"

Ji Zhixing bent his knees slightly, then pushed off with explosive force.

BOOM!

He launched himself off the ground, leaping six or seven meters into the air. The five-meter-long Nine-Tiered Tide Rod was raised high in his hands. Exuding an imposing aura, it smashed straight toward Qiao Chiyuan.

"Sea Burial!"

The long rod descended from the sky with majestic momentum, carrying an endless, tidal wave of power as it brutally crashed toward the airborne Qiao Chiyuan.

"What?!"

Qiao Chiyuan, who had been preparing to attack from above and expel Ji Zhixing from the flower sea, felt his expression change drastically. He hadn’t expected Ji Zhixing to have a move like this hidden up his sleeve.

But at this point, it was too late to dodge. Ji Zhixing’s speed was far too fast, and the area covered by the long rod was far too wide. He had nowhere to run. Gritting his teeth, he could only raise his halberd horizontally in front of his body, desperately trying to block the incoming strike.

CLANG!

Ji Zhixing’s thick rod smashed directly against Qiao Chiyuan’s halberd, producing a deafening crash of metal striking metal. Sparks flew in all directions, accompanied by rolling soundwaves.

The sheer power behind the strike was terrifying; the halberd simply couldn’t withstand it. The long rod pressed the halberd down and continued its descent, solidly slamming into Qiao Chiyuan’s body.

SPURT!

Qiao Chiyuan violently coughed up a mouthful of blood. In the very next second, a spatial fluctuation rippled from his body, and his figure instantly vanished from the flower sea.

***

Meanwhile, in the Dead Wood Regeneration Forest.

The students who had been teleported back earlier were gathered together, cursing furiously.

"That Qiao Chiyuan from Feng City University is absolutely shameless! Using us as human shields!"

"Exactly! He charged ahead on his own, but the moment he saw too many Spirit Bees, he fell back and shoved us to the front lines to die!"

They chimed in one after another, their anger growing with every word.

Suddenly, accompanied by a spatial fluctuation, a figure appeared near them. It was none other than Qiao Chiyuan.

His face was ghastly pale, and a trace of blood still hung at the corner of his mouth. His Purple-Gold Battle Armor was torn in several places, leaving him looking thoroughly battered and exhausted.

Seeing him, the group was stunned.

"Qiao Chiyuan? He got teleported back too?"

"Didn’t he follow Ji Zhixing deep into the flower sea? Could he have been..."

They exchanged glances, flashes of schadenfreude gleaming in their eyes.

Qiao Chiyuan shot them a dark look. With a gloomy expression, he turned on his heel and walked away without uttering a single word. He had just unleashed a Forbidden Technique and suffered an injury. He needed to recover as quickly as possible.

As for Ji Zhixing... he would definitely remember this! And it wasn’t just Ji Zhixing; he would remember those people from Yu City University as well!

Elite class student? To hell with elite class students!

He cursed inwardly as he walked. The reason he had attacked Ji Zhixing earlier was that he thought the guy was weak—that he lacked the qualifications to share the Seven-Colored Spirit Honey with him. He had completely underestimated just how terrifyingly strong Ji Zhixing truly was.

He felt like he had been deceived, tricked by the students of Yu City University. How could someone with that level of strength merely be an elite class student? What a joke!

Even now, just recalling the sight of Ji Zhixing instantly transforming into a four-meter-tall giant made him feel an immense, suffocating pressure.

"Ji Zhixing... don’t let me run into you next time!" Qiao Chiyuan gritted his teeth and quickened his pace, swiftly leaving the area.

The teachers from the three universities were somewhat surprised to witness this scene. They hadn’t expected a genius class student to be teleported back so quickly. Furthermore, judging from the chatter of the other students, it seemed highly likely that this Qiao Chiyuan had been forcefully expelled by Ji Zhixing.

"What is this?"

Meanwhile, back in the Seven-Colored Flower Sea, Ji Zhixing suddenly noticed the collateral damage their battle had caused. The shockwaves had struck the nearby inverted hill, shattering a portion of the honeycomb.

To his astonishment, a chunk of nine-colored honey was revealed from within.
