Chapter 159: Extreme Hubris, Hao Shuai & Ling Jiu
“Heh!”
In the face of these destructive attacks, the person shook his head and laughed. He did not do anything and strangely avoided all of the attacks.
He then appeared above the attacks.
“This… is this Blink?”
“The person actually can Blink, this is troublesome!”
Seeing this, all of the trainees’ pupils shrank as their hearts sank altogether.
“I originally could not be bothered with you lot, but since you dare to attack me, then be prepared to face my wrath, scumbags!”
The corner of the mouth of that person rose slightly as he slowly uttered two words. “Time Halt.”
“BUZZZZ—”
A bizarre wave instantly spread out and enveloped the hundred trainees who had attacked him. The next moment, all other trainees clearly saw:
These hundred trainees all stood still in place.
Yes, still!
Their bodies were still!
Their gazes were still.
Even their thoughts stood still.
Everything seemed to be still!
After that, the person moved and instantly Blinked before the trainees as he launched a storm-like barrage of attacks.
*BOOM–BOOM*
All of the hundred trainees were like puppets as they were beaten up all over by the person. In just a few seconds, the hundred odd trainees were all sent flying.
At this moment, they finally regained their ability to move, but all of them were groaning in pain, screaming all over and vomiting blood, all apparently seriously wounded.
“What Arcana was that?”
“He could instantly let hundreds of trainees suddenly stand in place like that. Is that Dimensional Arcana? Mental-type Arcana? Or Hallucination-type Arcana?”
“No! Its Time Halt!”
“Time Halt?”
“Do you know who he is? He’s Hao Shuai, the number one elite of our Freedom Alliance training camp. He has three broken Arcana, Time Halt, Blink and Super Physique, and the Arcana that stopped all of the trainees in place is Time Halt!”
“He’s Hao Shuai?”
Hao Shuai’s name quickly spread throughout the audience, and they instantly rose in an uproar.
Everyone had been in Pandora for eight to nine days now. They had heard of the names of the elites of every training camps.
Ling Jiu of Pangu.
Francis of Vulcan.
Hao Shuai of the Freedom Alliance.
Bai Ya of Tianwei.
…
These strongest elites were all people they needed to take note of. After hearing about Hao, all of them remembered the information about him.
“I did not expect him to be Hao Shuai!”
“With integrated Dimensional Arcana and Time Arcana, and is also known as the most talented trainee of this batch?”
“The more outrageous thing is that Hao Shuai had already broken through level 7, and with his three majors Arcanas, are we really his match?”
“That Time Halt Arcana is straight up overpowered, how do we even fight?”
…
“Sister, he’s that Hao Shuai?”
Wangwang looked at Hao Shuai up and down, her eyes full of curiosity. “He looks strong, but I don’t know if he is stronger that that pervert, Ling Jiu.”
“Who knows!”
Bai Ya frowned. “But that’s not the point. The thing is, with him around, the possibility of us taking the treasure is now very low!”
“Sigh! Damn the training camp, why did they need to make a global announcement and attracted so many trainees. Can’t they just tell us in secret?”
Wangwang pouted, “Now things have gone to hell. with so many people around, how we are supposed to take this towering tree away?”
…
Bai Ya was speechless. “Let’s just wait and see.”
“Right, sister, do you think Ling Jiu the pervert will come or not?”
Wangwang looked around for Ling Jiu’s figure but she did not see him after scanning around.
Bai Ya shook her head slightly. “Don’t bother. He has Dimensional Arcana, if he wants to hide, you won’t be able to find him.”
“The Dimensional Arcana and Time Arcanas are just so annoying!”
…
“Seems like you have recognized who I am!”
Hao Shuai looked around and said. “If that’s the case, why haven’t you lot scram yet?”
“I’ll tell you the truth. Since I’m already here, the ultimate treasure of heaven and earth is destined to NOT be yours. So, don’t waste your time!”
“Cocky!”
“Arrogant!”
“Egoistical!”
Everyone was pissed.
WOOOSHHH!!
A figure stepped out and stared coldly at Hao Shuai. “You’re too full of yourself!”
“Who are you?”
Hao Shuai raised his eyebrow.
“Desath Harlett!
The oncomer said coldly.
“Oh? You’re Dillon’s ace?”
Hao Shuai raised his eyebrows.
Dillon was one of the world’s top ten Arcana organizations and was extremely powerful, while Desath was the ace in Dillon’s training camp.
“So, what if you are Dillon’s ace? Before me, you are nothing!”
“I hope your fist is half as tough as your mouth is!”
Desath snorted coldly as two dazzling red glows burst out from his eyes as they shot at Hao Shuai.
Upon seeing this, Hao Shuai shouted. “Time Halt!”
BUZZZZ—
Desath froze instantly, and even the red glow shot out from his eyes was suspended in midair. His time was frozen at that exact moment.
Hao Shuai walked up to Desath step by step as he said. “I know your Arcana; Soul Control wasn’t it?”
“If I actually let you successfully use your Arcana, perhaps you can really control my soul and defeat me!”
“Sadly, for you, before my Time Halt, your Arcana is all but useless!”
As he said that, Hao Shuai swung his right fist and hit Desath square in the stomach. The latter spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backwards.
“Rubbish!”
Hao Shuai sneered and did not even look at Desath, who flew quite a distance away. He instead looked at the remaining trainees, saying. “Who else? Feel free to gang up!”
“Me!”
“Hao Shuai, I’ll fix you good!”
“Cease your arrogance!”
Immediately after, trainees stepped forward one after another, but the result was the same as Desath. They were sent flying, wounded, spitting mouth…
“He’s too strong!”
“He’s really too strong, like we and him are of two different realms!”
“We can’t beat him! We’re not his match at all!”
“Damn it! Is there no one who can fix him up?”
“Who else?”
Hao Shuai folded his arms as he looked around, suppressing the crowd like a demon incarnate.
“This guy… he’s too cocky! Even more cocky that that b*stard Ling Jiu!”
Christopher clenched his fists as his eyes were dripping with gloom. “I really want to smash his face in…”
“Bear it, we have no way to unravel that guy’s Time Halt for the moment. Even if you step forward, you’ll only get beaten up.” Zhou Ji sighed.
Hirano Hatake did not speak, but his eyes were full of bitterness.
“Is there no one else?”
Hao Shuai yawned. “There are thousands of people here and there’s no one that can fight me? That’s just so disappointing, cowards all of you!”
“B*stard!”
“I’m so pissed!”
“I really want to punch that guy’s face in!”
All of the trainees were gritting their teeth angrily, but they were helpless.
“Heh! I didn’t want to disturb you showing off so happily like that, but can you make way and let me pass first?”
At this moment, a refreshing voice sounded out. Everyone followed the voice source and saw another trainee stepping forward as he walked before Hao Shuai.
“Another lamb to the slaughter?”
“Sigh! Can they just not charge in blindly like that?”
“This person don’t realise Hao Shuai’s arrogance is fueled by that…”
Seeing that person suddenly appearing, all of the trainees were speechless for a moment.
Although they eagerly hoped someone would stand out and teach Hao Shuai a lesson and beat down his arrogance, they also did not want to see someone charging in blindly and stroke Hao Shuai’s ego instead. Bloody hell, did you not see that b*stard Hao Shuai getting cockier and cockier?
“Are you guys blind? That’s Ling Jiu!”
“Ling Jiu? Which Ling Jiu?”
“What do you mean which Ling Jiu? Of course, the Pangu’s one!”
“He’s Ling Jiu?”
WOOOSHHH!!
The crowd was in uproar and immediately became restless. Everyone looked at Ling Jiu with expectation and excitement in their eyes.
Speaking of who was most famous in all training camps? It was Ling Jiu!
Let’s see what Ling Jiu did after entering Pandora.
Beating Francis!
‘Beating’ Bai Ya!
Unleashing crushing levels of strength!
Who was most likely to defeat Hao Shuai?
It was none other than Ling Jiu!
“Sister, is that big pervert!”
Seeing Ling Jiu appearing, Wangwang clapped her tiny hands excitedly. “With him taking action, he can definitely teach that pompous *sshole a lesson!”
“He is really strong, but he may not be Hao Shuai’s match.” Bai Ya frowned. “If he cannot resist the Time Halt, it’s still pointless no matter how strong he is.”
“Even he cannot?”
Wangwang pouted.
“Not sure, just wait and see.”
…
“Who are you?”
Hao Shuai looked confident as he said lazily. “I don’t fight nameless foes!”
“I have no intention to fight you. My target is this big tree here, so how about you continue to showboat there, while I chop the tree down, yeah?”
Ling Jiu smiled.
“Heh!”
Hao Shuai sneered. “This tree is mine. Get lost!”
“Get lost?”
Ling Jiu smiled. “You’re not qualified enough to get me to get lost. I can take on a hundred of the likes of you!”
“Woah!”
“That person actually said that!”
“Talking about arrogance, be it Ling Jiu or Hao Shuai, they are sure god damn cocky! Like, their arrogance knows no limits!”
“These b*stards are more arrogant than the other. Are all geniuses like them that arrogant?”
“Regardless, we got a nice show coming up!”
“Fight a hundred of the likes of me? Heh!”
Hao Shuai laughed. “It’s almost a year since I’ve awakened my Arcana and you are the most arrogant sod I’ve never seen. I hope your strength, like the other guy had said, is half as tough as your mouth is!”
“Why don’t you try it then?”
Ling Jiu flicked his finger.
“I will!”
Hao Shuai nodded. “Time Halt!”
“BUZZZZ—”
A mysterious time fluctuation instantly enveloped Ling Jiu. In an instant, Ling Jiu, like all previous challengers, stood still in place.
Or rather, he was… frozen in place!
His body froze.
His mind froze.
Everyone was frozen at that moment.
This was Time Halt, a form of shackling that was even more terrifying and unbreakable than the Dimensional Shackle, as it shackled the most arcane of times.
“Before my Time Halt, no matter how strong you are, no matter how arcane your techniques are, all Arcanas are useless!”
Hao Shuai said slothfully as he Blinked before Ling Jiu.
Using Time Halt to freeze his foe in place, then Blink over to instantaneously close in onto his target, and then use his Super Physique to attack.
With this three powerful Arcana on him, Hao Shuai could be said to be the most overpowered trainee. Looking at all of the training camps, there were no existence more incomprehensible than his.
However, when Hao Shuai had appeared before Ling Jiu, his expression changed.
CRACK!!
His entire person was crushed into the ground as blood poured out of his eyes, nose, ears and mouth as if they were free of charge…
“This is…”
