Chapter 88: Chapter 78: Deadly Duel, Killing Move - Golden Scales Transformation (4K, Request for Monthly Pass)
Upon hearing this, Li Ge snapped out of his daze and quickly took out his cell phone, but then he saw Xue Jing taking off his tracksuit and heading towards the academic building.
"Lord Jing, you..." He started to dissuade him but then suddenly remembered, Xue Jing had made the news a few days ago for soloing a monster!
Li Ge bit his teeth, and though still worried, he didn\'t say anything else but ran in the opposite direction of the academic building, taking out his cell phone to dial 110 while running.
"Hello! There\'s a giant cockroach at Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School..."
The teachers were also in a panic, but being adults, they still had a sense of responsibility and performed a bit better than the students in a critical moment.
"Students, don\'t push or crowd, watch your step!"
Quite a few people had also noticed Xue Jing walking towards the academic building.
"What does he want to do, why isn\'t he running?"
"Didn\'t you watch the news a few days ago? He\'s a martial arts genius who has killed monsters!"
"Stop looking, run!"
...
The Cockroach Monster chewed on the flesh in its hand, watching as a horde of prey scattered around, it didn\'t care at all.
The speed of their escape, in its view, was as if they hadn\'t moved at all, it could catch up in an instant if it wished, so it didn\'t stop them.
Who shall I eat next?
Its emotionless compound eyes looked towards a prey that didn\'t seem that meaty but should taste very delicate.
Lin Shiyu stiffened instantly, unable to move.
Like a newborn herbivore encountering the apex predator of the food chain, she couldn\'t form any thoughts, not even capable of running away, as the primal instincts in her genes had submitted automatically.
At that moment, a figure walked to her side.
"Yes, right at Qingcheng Affiliated Middle School... I\'ll try to handle it... Keep it alive? Don\'t make it tough for me, I don\'t even know if I can beat it."
"...This one, is completely different from the previous one."
Xue Jing held his phone, speaking while glancing at the Cockroach Monster in front of him, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Compared to the one he encountered at Rui Zhu Hotel before, the one in front of him had changed significantly.
It was larger, its exoskeleton darker and more solid, the barbs on its six legs longer, and even the two antennae on its head emitted a sharp and fierce light.
"Compared to the previous one... Has it optimized its genes?"
Xue Jing turned his head towards the female student next to him, only to realize it was the junior who had once brought him a towel, causing quite a stir.
"Can you still move?" asked Xue Jing after thinking for a moment.
Lin Shiyu\'s gaze was dazedly fixed on him, snapping back to reality upon his question. Crying, with her face crumpled, she murmured, "I... my legs are weak."
Xue Jing frowned.
"Quack—"
The Cockroach Monster tossed aside the human bone it had gnawed clean, its compound eyes fixed on this new prey.
Assessed as: excellent meat quality.
"..."
Feeling the Cockroach Monster\'s gaze now fully set on him, Xue Jing sighed and said to the junior:
"Well, I guess you\'re on your own."
Junior: "..."
Isn\'t this the time for a hero to save a damsel and protect her?
"First of all..." Xue Jing\'s eyes hardened.
"Initial strike, lower its health!"
Power of Twins, Twin Speed!
Xue Jing vanished from the spot instantly.
The next moment, he appeared right in front of the Cockroach Monster.
The True Dragon inside him stirred, Power surged, all his muscles tensed, as tough as steel.
Helical indentations starting from his shoulder spiraled along his arm, slimming it slightly, yet it emitted an extreme sense of terrifying power.
In the instant the Cockroach Monster hadn\'t yet reacted, Xue Jing threw a fierce punch!
Killing Move—Whirlwind Thunder!
Like a True Dragon moving through clouds, he twisted his body, swirling up a storm of thunder and lightning, the compressed extreme Power released in a spiral at the edge of his fist, hitting right into the chest of the Cockroach Monster.
"BOOM!!!"
A sound like thunder out of nowhere, the Cockroach Monster\'s body spun back like a fan, hurtling backward at high speed, crashing into the door of the academic building and still going, smashing through several walls in succession, creating continuous explosions.
All the shattered walls at their edges bore a helical shape, as if drilled open by a massive electric drill.
The teachers and students who were fleeing turned upon hearing the noise, staring in shock.
"Whoa... holy shit!"
"Xue Jing!? Is that Xue Jing? The guy from the news a few days ago?"
"It\'s our senior, our senior made a move!"
"Lord Jing is awesome!"
Many people stopped in their tracks, watching the figure still holding the punching posture, filled with excitement.
As the closest spectator to the punch, Lin Shiyu\'s hair was blown back by the burst of wind, her hands covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief as she stared at the young man before her.
Which one here is really the monster!?
Xue Jing paid no mind to others\' thoughts, retracted his fist, and pressed on his arm.
His skin was bruised purple all over, he stimulated the Power to dissipate the bruises, then he leapt up, diving into the academic building through the hole the Cockroach Monster had made.
Right after entering, Xue Jing didn\'t see the Cockroach Monster but found a man on the corridor floor who only had his upper body remaining.
The man was wearing a janitor\'s uniform, blood pooled beneath him, gasping heavily as if he was dying. When he saw Xue Jing, he extended a trembling hand towards him and said:
