CHAPTER 476: CHAPTER 124: THE MUTATION IS OFFICIALLY UPON US! _2

He didn’t have the slightest chance to fight back.

He was directly suppressed, unable to move.

This was simply outrageous!

Damn it, I might really get beaten up by a freshman soon!

In the waiting area, Su Zicheng watched Qiu Ziluo being suppressed on stage and immediately panicked.

He knew Su Yan was incredible, possibly stronger than him. But from what he could see now, this wasn’t just beating him; it was a complete thrashing, right?

When facing Qiu Ziluo, at most, he could only ensure a steady victory, never a crushing one.

However, this freshman did it! He completely crushed Qiu Ziluo! Who the hell could withstand this?

The more Su Zicheng thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the thought of conceding without even fighting began to surface.

Just a few minutes ago, he had been mocking Liu Xiaoman for being a coward.

Now, it seemed he was the coward!

The coward is actually me!?

"The winner, Su Yan!"

After Qiu Ziluo had been suppressed for a full ten seconds, the referee loudly declared Su Yan the winner.

CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!

Instantly, enthusiastic applause erupted from below the stage.

Most of those clapping were freshmen and students from the Institute of Beast Taming.

Typically, for internal school selection matches like this, most people would just watch without applauding, at most discussing it quietly among themselves.

But Su Yan’s performance was just too fierce.

It was hard not to get excited. It felt like you were on stage yourself, fighting your heart out—damn exhilarating.

Everyone’s emotions were stirred!

Before long, the applause began to die down.

After a brief intermission.

The ninth match, also the last match of the day, finally began.

At this moment, the audience below the stage grew excited, and they began discussing who might win.

On one side was the student considered number one in Jing University by the seniors. On the other was the newcomer revered by freshmen, hailed as the strongest in Jing University’s history. Both sides confidently believed their favored contestant would win.

The leaders in the VIP section were also filled with curiosity.

Su Zicheng was strong; he had seized first place once back in his sophomore year, shocking Jiuzhou.

And Su Yan, who shared the same surname, was even more unbelievable.

Though only a freshman, he could effortlessly dominate those ranked 2nd to 9th in strength.

Now, with these two powerhouses clashing, even the highly experienced school leaders found it difficult to predict the victor.

As for Su Zicheng, the one involved, he was extremely anxious.

The seniors believed in him, and half of the leaders believed in him as well.

But he didn’t believe in himself.

He had seriously watched all eight of Su Yan’s previous matches.

Then, to his terror, he discovered that Su Yan’s speed was so fast he couldn’t see it at all.

What does this mean? It means Su Yan is stronger than him!

Thinking of this, the usually indomitable Su Zicheng even felt the urge to surrender without fighting.

He was a genius. His biological instincts, far exceeding those of ordinary people, could predict impending danger.

And at this moment, his biological instincts kept warning him!

This freshman was an opponent he absolutely could not afford to fight! Run!

Just as Su Zicheng was panicking, the referee standing between the two men asked, "Are both of you ready?"

"Ready," Su Yan replied without a second thought.

Su Zicheng, however, paused for a moment before snapping back to reality and responding, "I’m ready, too."

Hearing this, the referee pressed their respective ready buttons.

Soon, the large screen above the stage began the countdown.

"10, 9, 8..."

The countdown ended!

Su Yan, already tired of posturing, wasted no words and threw a direct punch.

A punch landed squarely on Su Zicheng’s face.

Then, with a BANG! Su Zicheng felt a sharp pain on his face. The next moment, his body, along with his very soul, was sent flying backward. His vision blackened, and he lost consciousness.

Su Zicheng lost.

Defeated at lightning speed, faster than anyone else.

By this time, the audience below still hadn’t processed what had just happened. The scene of Su Zicheng’s defeat had unfolded too quickly for their minds to register.

Except for a few Evolution Strongmen in the leaders’ seats. Their Creature Levels were Epic, allowing them to barely perceive what had transpired on stage, leaving them utterly dumbfounded!

A wave of shock washed over them internally!

How can this freshman from the Institute of Beast Taming be so preposterously strong!? Is he using some kind of cheat?

HISS!

A school leader couldn’t help but gasp, a chilling horror gripping him. Su Yan’s performance was too shocking.

He felt that if it had been him on the stage just now instead of Su Zicheng, he too would most likely have been killed by a single punch, utterly powerless to resist.

"The winner, Su Yan!"

Several seconds later, the referee finally came to his senses, walked over to Su Yan, raised his right hand, and announced loudly.

As soon as the announcement was made, it was like a boulder plunging into the sea. It instantly created a huge stir, igniting the enthusiasm of the onlookers below the stage.

"Su Yan, incredible!"

"So this is a ’high and mighty’ senior? In the end, wasn’t he trampled underfoot by us freshmen? How laughable!"

"How is this possible? How could Su Zicheng possibly lose to a freshman?"

"In this year’s National University Students’ League, our Jing University will definitely have its revenge on Demon University and reclaim our glory as the number one school."

"Demon Capital University, you’re in trouble!"

For a time, every corner of the gymnasium was abuzz with loud discussions and shouts.

Su Yan’s dominant performance had truly left them stunned.

A freshman topping Jing University’s strength rankings was unprecedented, and likely to remain so.

This was destined to become a legend!

Facing the feverish cheers of the crowd, Su Yan soaked it in for a moment, feeling a brief thrill, then swiftly departed.

He had finished showing off; it was time to leave.

The Anomaly was imminent, so he had to hurry back to the dormitory to enhance himself.

「Central yard building 4, Dormitory 404.」

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Su Yan headed straight into Jiu Li’s room.

This time, he took the initiative.

After fighting nine matches in a row, each time instantly defeating his opponent, the surging HP within him had no outlet. He had no choice but to return to the dormitory to find another ’opponent.’

In the past few months, under the high-intensity demands of the Fox Demon, he had been defeated daily, without a single victory.

Today, he wanted to redeem himself!

He was determined to show the Fox Demon in the room what a Half-step Mythical Level Being was truly capable of!

...

Jiu Li: (*⁰̷̴͈꒨⁰̷̴͈)=͟͟͞.♡°.*˙.

Su Yan: (´-﹏-`;) Sigh~!!!

...

「Midnight, twelve o’clock.」

Su Yan emerged from Jiu Li’s room looking utterly drained. He walked listlessly to the balcony, then leaped into the air and flew towards the suburbs.

He was wrong. The Fox Demon, forever godlike!

It was deep in the night, the time when Yin entities roamed freely.

Despite his exhaustion, Su Yan dared not relax in the slightest, punctually setting out for his usual nighttime hunt.

There was an unusually high number of Yin entities tonight.

Starting from the eastern district of the Jingdou suburbs, Su Yan carved a path of destruction all the way to the western district.

Where he passed, no ghost survived.

...

Ahead was an Epic Level Succubus.

The Enchanting Female Ghost was trying to seduce you.

Your heart remains unmoved; you advance and throw a punch.

The Enchanting Female Ghost was instantly killed.

There is a group of Ordinary Level Wild Ghosts ahead.

There is an Epic Level Wet Sand Sculpture ahead.

The Wet Sand Sculpture noticed you and charged at you with a shriek.

You frown, sensing something is amiss, but still deliver a punch to the opponent.

The Wet Sand Sculpture, unable to bear the force, is instantly killed by your punch.

[Different surface fit degree +1+1+1...]

"HISS, that’s satisfying!"

Su Yan shivered all over, then suddenly felt a sense of ennui.

After recovering for a moment, he fell into deep thought.

Clay sculpture! Why would there be a clay sculpture here? Could it be... the Mirror World was starting to connect to the world he was in?

BOOM! RUMBLE!

Suddenly, the ground ahead began to shake violently, accompanied by a deafening subterranean roar.

Hearing the noise, Su Yan looked up in the direction it came from and was immediately stunned.

On the previously empty plain ahead, a Giant Cactus abruptly burst from the earth, its immense form casting a shadow over him in the moonlight.

What’s happening? Was this a sign that the Anomaly was about to formally descend?
