Chapter 89: Chapter 88: King of the White Tower (Part 10)_1
“`
Speaking of which, this was the first time he had encountered a Transcendent creature of this world.
Whether it was the initial Werewolves and Maggot People, or the remnants aggregate in the furnace, they essentially still bore traces of humanity and weren’t of this pure beastly form.
In summary, his PvE experience wasn’t abundant.
It must be said that the appearance of this creature was quite a challenge to the imagination, and the oppressive feeling brought on by its immense size was extremely strong.
He wondered where White Tower Company had acquired such a ferocious beast.
After a bout of furious roaring, the Crocodile Monster finally locked onto its target, its massive One-Eyed head staring intently over.
Thump! Thump!
The huge hind claws hit the ground, each step gouging deep indentations in the solid surface.
The next moment, the upper body of the beast arched back high, roaring again with an unstoppable charge forward.
Fu Qian dodged delicately to the side, evading the head-on assault, and with a flick of his fingers, he sent an Air Bullet flying.
He didn’t expect much damage, mainly just to test the strength of the creature.
Indeed, the defense of the creature was shockingly high; the Air Bullet, which could blow through a human body, barely left any mark on it.
The Crocodile Monster charged past him, sprinting over a hundred meters, leaving a long deep trench in its wake before eventually crashing into the perimeter of the arena.
Boom!
Half the stands shook, and people fell like dumplings, cries of distress merging into a chorus.
However, such a dramatic impact only confused the Crocodile Monster for less than half a second.
Its massive tail swiped, turning a few lucky spectators into mush, and then the Crocodile Monster turned around, again setting its sight on Fu Qian.
This bloody scene elicited cheers from the stands, and amidst the screams, some were even thrown down.
With toughened skin and exceptional vitality, this thing was very hardy; it’d be difficult to inflict substantial damage without striking a vital area.
Fu Qian’s mind raced.
The problem was its size; its hind legs were even taller than his own head, and with it running around, hitting a weak spot was no easy task.
Wait a minute, it’s very large.
Fu Qian thought for a moment and took a deep breath.
The next instant, the sound of shattering and cracking filled the air.
As blood coursed through him, all the bones and muscles in his body began breaking and expanding recklessly, swelling in all directions at an alarming rate, and his body quickly grew taller.
When it all ended, Fu Qian had transformed into a giant twice his original height.
Not only that, but his entire right arm, by his will, had turned into a sharp long claw.
Indeed, standing higher did provide a broader view; his visibility had improved greatly.
The only regret was that even the best quality of clothing couldn’t withstand such expansion, and they had burst and shredded during his transformation.
As someone considerate of public decency, Fu Qian acutely noticed this and very civilly formed a set of Iron Man-shaped bone armor for himself.
This state couldn’t be maintained for long; he needed to make it quick.
While both his size and strength had greatly increased, the tangible desire for slaughter also kept hammering at his consciousness, and if too much time passed, he feared he might lose SAN Points.
This wasn’t a realm he should be touching upon at his current state.
The intelligence of the Crocodile Monster obviously wasn’t high; it ignored Fu Qian’s transformation.
Now that it had regained its balance, it charged at him once more.
Bring it on!
Facing the beast charging like a tank, Fu Qian didn’t evade this time.
Leaning forward, bending at the waist, he gathered momentum.
As the Crocodile Monster closed in with its fierce winds and opened its enormous jaws to bite, Fu Qian extended his right-hand long claw at the same time.
Amid a world-shaking cry of agony, the Crocodile Monster ran wild for more than ten meters before it collapsed thunderously to the ground.
“`
From its abdomen to its tail, a terror-inducing wound was slashed open, from which dark blue blood gushed out, pouring into the trench.
Fu Qian strode forward.
[SAN Points decrease by 1]
The notification sound by his ear caused him a pang of heartache.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear, my SAN Points really dropped!
Hu!
The sound of the wind arose, as the fallen Crocodile Monster swept over with its blood-stained tail, only to be kicked away by Fu Qian’s foot.
Further ahead, sharp fangs formed within the wound on its belly, opening wide in an attempt to swallow Fu Qian whole.
You’re using Saint Fighter’s Skill on yourself?
Fu Qian dodged with ease once again, and firmly stepped on its lower jaw.
At that moment, a dazzling golden bolt of lightning was gathering in the creature’s gaping mouth, the proximity causing his skin to tingle with numbness.
It seemed ready to unleash some sort of deadly final move.
However, Fu Qian did not give it another chance, stepping on the lower jaw and prying open the upper jaw with both hands before exerting a sudden force.
In the midst of a terribly ghastly roar, the tough hide crumbled to pieces.
The Crocodile Monster’s massive mouth was torn apart into two halves, its gathering electric light dissipating feebly.
Cheers ten times more vigorous than its agonized screams erupted from the stands, having already forgotten the incident with the person who fell earlier.
Having dealt with his opponent, Fu Qian did not rush to change back but instead raised his head, looking in the direction of Bai Jinting’s stands.
In the next moment, he lifted half of the Crocodile Monster’s head towards that direction.
This provocative act left even the host at a loss for words momentarily.
Bai Jinting, however, remained as composed as ever, still sitting immovably like Mount Tai, his smile undiminished.
Fu Qian’s target was not him in the first place.
The Demigod Yibu beside Bai Jinting was already standing up at this time.
Hmph!
With a cold snort, a sun-like dazzling orb of lightning appeared in midair above the White Tower, its intense brilliance nearly blinding onlookers.
In the next moment, hundreds, perhaps thousands of silver-white Electric Snakes erupted from the orb, striking down into the arena below, their terrifying thunder suppressing all other sounds.
The Crocodile Monster’s corpse instantly turned to ash, and the Lightning Cage enveloped the entire arena before quickly contracting inward, compressing until it was right in front of Fu Qian.
In the face of this terrifying sight, Fu Qian remained unruffled, overflowing with a murderous aura, standing eye to eye with the legendary Demigod.
Just as some thought a fight was about to break out, the immovable Bai Jinting finally reacted, nodding at Yibu and saying something.
The latter snorted again, and the entire sky of silver light dissipated in an instant, as he turned and sat back in his place.
Sorted!
Fu Qian’s body also shrank back, reverting to his normal form.
Of course, below the waist, he was still covered with the formed Bone Armor.
This was the effect he wanted.
Feeling a little weak for the first time, Fu Qian was extremely satisfied with how the situation had developed.
Of course, he wasn’t full to bursting with a show of protest against the behind-the-scenes manipulation.
Since hiding his abilities in front of a Demigod was impossible, why not just go big?
A fierce fighting spirit, a thirst for victory, and a mockery of rigged endeavors.
Portraying himself as someone who would stop at nothing for success, might be better than shrouding himself in secrecy.
Of course, there was also one more point, he had shown an intent and courage to confront a Demigod; if this entity had any sworn enemies, it was about time they paid a visit.
