Chapter 193: Exceptionally Jealous

“Stop!” a voice yelled angrily from the depths of the forest.

At the same time, everyone panicked and began breathing quickly while their limbs trembled.

That was the result in spite of their composure and strong willpower. Ordinary students would have long turned around and run away.

However, even so, it was still enough to affect Zhang Hui.

Previously, Zhang Hui was scared away by Gao Junwei’s roar.

That was what Zhang Hui’s character was like. When faced with the Roar of Fear, his physical and psychological reactions would cause him to make almost the same choice as he did previously.

However, this time, Zhang Hui did not flee immediately and instead seemed to have reacted out of the ordinary, because another loud and angry roar came from afar. “Hold it right there!”

!!!

The voice was bright and clear and seemed to have dissipated the gloominess within everyone’s heart as if it was full of desolation.

All of a sudden, everyone stopped feeling flustered and their limbs were no longer trembling. In fact, their veins seemed to have begun pulsating as a strong desire arose in their hearts.

It was a fighting intent, a desire for battle, which came from deep within them!

Was this roar meant to soothe one’s senses?

No, it was for charging!

“Oh my god…” Xia Yan twisted her head left and right, causing crisp sounds of cracking bones to be heard. While holding onto the giant sword, her gaze became even more intense.

What kind of a Star Technique is this? Why does it have effects that are the opposite of Roar of Fear?

Ring-ring-ring!

The crisp and melodious sounds of a bell suddenly rang in everyone’s ears, spreading from the depths of the forest and landing on Yu Zhen’s body.

Yu Zhen’s clothes were torn and she was bleeding continuously while her beautiful face was twisted into a grimace. However, her wounds were still healing continuously.

Initially, Zhang Hui could have just charged forward. However, he was frightened and stopped in his tracks because of the angry roar, which eventually calmed him down.

His battle opportunity vanished!

When Zhang Hui recovered from the shock, there was not only “Bell” on Yu Zhen’s body, but also a faint layer of mist that floated up around her body.

Her teammate had finally joined the battle!

The frosty mist on Yu Zhen’s body quickly formed a sphere which engulfed her tightly.

The sphere was like an eggshell, and it was unclear how effective its defense abilities were.

Yu Zhen bit her lips tightly while lying on the ground and enjoying the healing effects of Bell, after which the Star Map on her body was activated!

The Star Map was shaped like a staff that was similar to Yi Lianna’s, except it was shorter.

She had a total of 24 star slots!

Two Brass Quality, five Silver Quality, and one Gold Quality Star Techniques!

What a powerful Rules Awakened! She actually has a Gold Quality Star Technique!?!

The eighth star slot of the Star Map suddenly lit up, and Yu Zhen stretched her arm to grab something in the void. Her illusory scepter suddenly appeared.

Zhang Hui was ruthlessly bent on taking revenge. Although he was utterly distracted and dejected by the Roar of Fear, he got an adrenaline rush because of the second roar. All of a sudden, his veins seemed to have dilated.

Seeing that Yu Zhen had picked up her illusory scepter again, Zhang Hui swung his dagger in the sky without hesitation, causing another Flame Arc to be formed.

The fiery red Flame Arc burned intensely and rapidly. It was abnormally menacing!

Accompanied by a soft sound, the Flame Arc ruined the Ice Mist Armor protecting Yu Zhen, before striking her on the shoulder.

Yu Zhen shrieked. “Ah!”

Her upper body was immediately blasted into the pit and her bloodied flesh was badly mangled, making her appear miserable.

Her face was twisted into a grimace and she was overwhelmed with excruciating pain. The illusory scepter in her hand had disappeared without a trace and she couldn’t attack at all.

Whoosh!

Zhang Hui suddenly stopped in his tracks and an ice spear brushed past the tip of his nose dangerously!

At the next moment, a tall figure stood in front of the shrieking Yu Zhen. It was Zhang Weiliang!

He was the one with the lowest status in the team, and he stood up at this critical moment.

Zhang Weiliang held a round shield in his left hand, which was still covered with layers of frost, and an ice spear in between Yu Zhen and Zhang Hui with his right hand.

Not only did Zhang Weiliang obstruct Zhang Hui from attacking, but he also blocked the vicious gaze in his eyes.

Compared to Flame Arc, the gaze in Zhang Hui’s eyes was much more intolerable for Zhang Weiliang. Zhang Hui clearly had a short stature while Zhang Weiliang appeared rather daunting.

Regardless, Zhang Weiliang managed to defend against Zhang Hui, but not the formidable figure behind him.

“Wu Haoyang! I said, if you want to fight, we’ll do it in the semi-finals!” Zhang Mingming quickly approached Yu Zhen while continuously turning back to look at the figure chasing them from behind. “The semi-finals are going to be a national live broadcast. We’re in the woods now, no one will bother admiring your battle skills.”

Wu Haoyang was carrying the crescent sword and chasing them continuously while yelling, “Cut the crap. I’ve learned something a few days ago. If I want to fight, I must do it immediately…”

“Huh? Little Icicle?” asked a clear female voice that contained a trace of surprise.

“Huh? Little Icicle? The one from the snowfield?” asked another female voice, sounding almost exactly the same as the previous girl.

Everyone watched as Zhang Mingming dashed out of the woods, followed by Gao Junwei, who was fighting and retreating.

The enemy behind them slowed down.

In the deep forest far away, the pair of twin sisters, who looked identical and were wearing their hair in buns, covered their mouths with their small hands while staring at Jiang Xiao in astonishment.

In front of the two of them was the round-faced Qian Zhuang and… Wu Haoyang, whose face was extremely stiff.

Zhang Mingming walked towards Yu Zhen, who looked extremely miserable. She was subdued by the two shots of Zhang Hui’s Flame Arc and no longer looked arrogant. To be more specific, she had already passed out…

Zhang Mingming hurriedly cast another shot of Bell at her and stopped paying attention to her.

Because…

When Zhang Mingming saw Han Jiangxue’s team, he lost his composure and felt as if his heart had dropped.

Oh no!

It turned out to be the elite team of Jiangbin High School!

Zhang Mingming had thoroughly studied the fighting style of Han Jiangxue’s team and their combat effectiveness was indeed very strong.

Han Jiangxue’s team was extremely domineering and brave. They might be tyrannical, but they would never take the initiative to provoke anyone and stir trouble.

Under normal circumstances, the team would never provoke anyone unless they were provoked first.

However, the problem was that Gao Junwei had a feud with the team!

First, there was Jiangbin High School. Next, there was Xindan Creek High School No. 11. Both teams were extremely popular and garnered the most attention in the Beijiang Province High School League. They were all competing for the first place in the competition.

It would be no exaggeration to say that they were formidable teams that might even fight and defeat each other.

At the thought of this, Zhang Mingming tensed up.

In fact, the soldiers in the monitoring room had all gotten a little excited as they quickly rubbed their eyes to take a clearer glimpse. They were well aware that if the three teams were to really get into a fight, it would be a preview of the finals!

The audience watching the competition at home via the pay-per-view channel was well aware of how exciting the scene was, especially since the host was trying to hype them up.

The television host yelled excitedly, “Dear viewers! Please open your eyes because what we are about to see may be a battle of the highest standards in this competition!

“The team from Jiangbin High School No. 3 comprises of the ideal combination of members, namely the Shield Warrior, melee fighter, Rules Awakened and Medical Awakened. They’re undoubtedly the strongest during the preliminary match. Due to their quick reflexes and smart brains, they had initially already obtained the highest scores! However, no one can predict the future, and something cropped up in between…

“Meanwhile, the team from Xindan Creek High School No. 11 is the only team that has two Medical Awakened. Indeed, it’s very enviable. Before the competition, many analysts have predicted this team to be the champions. The fact that they’re chasing the team from Jiangbin High School No. 3 and urging them to a battle, simply proves their strong combat abilities!

“Let’s look at the elite team of Jiangbin High School. Similarly, they also have the ideal team configuration, consisting of a Shield Warrior, melee fighter, Rules Awakened, and Medical Awakened. They’re also big favorites who are expected to emerge as the champion team. Those of you paying attention to the competition must have already seen their strengths and competence. They have achieved the tasks that are difficult for college students to complete. They have slaughtered two Ape Ghoul Kings in unique ways!

“Those were actual Ape Ghoul Kings! Gold Quality creatures of other dimensions! The members of the team from Jiangbin High School have done it! And they did more than once! There’s no need to doubt their strengths.

“And…” The host’s voice suddenly became softer, but everyone could still hear him clearly. He continued, “Gao Junwei from Jiangbin High School No. 3 used to be from the opposing team from Jiangbin High School.

“The conflict between Gao Junwei and the team from Jiangbin High School has long been exposed. With the emergence of a Medical Awakened, Gao Junwei was kicked out of the team and ended up joining the team from Jiangbin High School No. 3…”

The host became more and more delighted while talking and the audience was also enjoying what he was saying. Everyone in the world would enjoy gossip.

“The enemies meet again. Are they going to be particularly jealous of each other? Are the feuds… going to be settled here— What’s going on?!”

The host was suddenly stunned because a sound that came from the first-person perspective lens Wu Haoyang was wearing. “Jiang! Xiao! Pi!”

Immediately afterward, the two sisters stomped their feet and yelled, “Little! Icicle!”

Qian Zhuang was the only one who didn’t speak.

An Luming was extremely furious and her face looked just like a bun. With the heavy stomping of her feet, her head swung and she looked fierce yet adorable.

“Damn Little Icicle! I’ve waited for you for two hours! I was almost frozen to death, do you have a conscience at all!?! Do you know what honesty is? Do you know that you ought to keep to your promises? Do you understand how to be kind, benevolent, prudent, and have your principles!?! You damned icicle. I was so kind as to heal you then and yet, you stood me up. I should have smacked you to death!”

Jiang Xiao was also secretly stunned. He thought, That young man with the crescent sword is too stubborn.

He actually fought with the team members in the snowfield for two hours?

An Luming was like an infuriated kitten stomping her feet and cussing out loud. Her mouth was like a machine gun as she rattled on and on rapidly.

After listening to her words, Qian Zhuang was dumbfounded and he stared at An Luming enviously.

He also wanted to scold the bitch who had made him wait in the snowfield for more than two hours…

Qian Zhuang thought, I want to scold him!

His mouth said, “No, you don’t.”

Qian Zhuang was a normal kid who was sometimes mischievous and he would often imitate and make fun of a classmate who stuttered.

The insensible Qian Zhuang had a taste of his medicine. After hearing An Luming who rattled on and on, he wished he could transmigrate and slap his eight-year-old self.

Gao Junwei was bewildered…

Question marks filled his head.

What’s going on?

Our teams are keeping our guards up and getting ready to fight!

Why have you guys gone to roar at others?

Do you have a feud with them too?

Why do I feel like you guys have a greater feud with Jiang Xiaopi?
