The victor was decided.
The monster controller freshmen quickly went forward with fire extinguishers and extinguished the fire on the Demonic Halberd Pig in a flurry.
Fang Lin also used a brainwave booster with a higher clearance to take over control of the Demonic Halberd Pig. He also had someone check whether the red-haired boy's mental strength index was over the limit.
A failure like this could really cause one's spirit to crumble.
Even after Meng Chao moved the dagger away for half a minute, the red-haired boy was still dazed.
"Why … can you predict the direction the Demonic Halberd Pig is going to charge in?" He stared at Meng Chao with puzzlement in his eyes.
"It's wind pressure. I can sense wind pressure," Meng Chao explained.
"Many of the support occupations will cultivate more than one hundred branch meridians, and their senses are even sharper than those of the fighting occupations. For example, harvesters have their hands and eyes. When it comes to fine control, they usually surpass a martial artist's simple and crude major moves.
"But the unique cultivation method and secret medicine formula of the Ultimate Style can increase the strength of all 1,024 branch meridians by more than 50%. Spirit energy will fill our bodies, and the sensitivity of our senses will increase by leaps and bounds.
"When such a huge Demonic Halberd Pig charged at me, the wind pressure caused my skin to feel as if it was being pricked by needles. Naturally, I knew where it was going to attack.
"At the same time, the spirit energy output from the main meridians is stronger, but I need to accumulate power. The activation speed of the output from the branch meridians is faster, so it's easier for me to execute force abruptly. That's why I can move in the direction of the Demonic Halberd Pig in 0.1 seconds, so the relative speed between us is close to zero. It's the best way to negate its impact."
"…"
When they heard this, the red-haired boy and the monster controller freshmen whispered to each other.
It had not been long since they entered university, so their understanding of fighting occupations was still shallow. When they ran into martial arts course elites in the tournament between courses, all of them used major moves at the slightest disagreement. Even though the lightning effects and damage of their killing moves were really shocking, when they thought about it carefully, they realized that Meng Chao's terrifying senses and activation speed were even more terrifying.
"Then, why is your incendiary so powerful?"
The red-haired boy thought about it carefully and became even more puzzled. "My Demonic Halberd Pig's skin is thick, so it's not afraid of fire."
"I've added something to the accelerant. It's the powder of the Heart-Devouring Worm after it's dried."
"The Demonic Halberd Pigs in the wild usually move in herds, and they repeatedly rub themselves against the tree sap to form a sturdy shell around their bodies. They're domineering existences that no one can stop, but aside from the even more brutal superbeasts, they also have an inconspicuous insect known as the Heart-devouring Ring Bug.
"These bugs grow on plants that secrete a lot of resin. When the Demonic Halberd Pigs rub against the resin, they will quietly climb onto their bodies and crawl into their bodies through their backside. They will then eat their guts to their stomachs, and from their stomachs to their hearts, they will multiply. In the end, they will devour the Demonic Halberd Pig from the inside out and turn it into an empty husk.
"When Demonic Halberd Pigs gather in groups, they dare to fight to the death even when they face superbeasts, but they can't do anything to these insignificant insects. Even if just one of them crawls into their bodies, they'll die, and they'll die a horrible and painful death.
"When the Demonic Halberd Pig smelled the Heart-devouring Ring Bug powder I added to the accelerant, it thought that its natural enemy had invaded its body, so it was only natural that the Demonic Halberd Pig would be so terrified that it went mad."
The monster controller freshmen came to a realization. Their thoughts were complicated, and they felt rather upset.
They had to admit that Meng Chao's knowledge toward monster materials and habits far surpassed that of a normal martial artist.
But this sort of method was a little … opportunistic. It was the same as his performance during the admission test. It was not a display of pure fighting strength.
Fang Lin took a step forward and frowned. "It's impossible for the Demonic Halberd Pig to be so terrified just by the scent of the Heart-devouring Ring Bug. What else did you do?"
"As expected of a senior. You noticed that I did something."
Meng Chao smiled and admitted to it readily. "While the flames were interfering with my vision, I circled behind the Demonic Halberd Pig's butt and used my dagger to poke its back a few times to imitate the feeling of the Heart-devouring Ring Bug crawling in. It was only natural that it was terrified." At the same time, I transmitted this feeling to the monster controller's mind, so the student felt a chill on his butt and instantly lost his ability to fight. He didn't even notice that I circled behind him. "
"Ah …"
The monster controller freshmen gasped in amazement.
Even though Meng Chao's method of scattering Heart-devouring Ring Bug powder was a little despicable, the fact that he could quietly circle behind the Demonic Halberd Pig and use his dagger to poke its back showed that his phantom-like body movements and skills were indeed terrifying!
"The martial arts course's first place in the admission test does indeed have some skill. Looks like the martial arts course has its own secret weapon!"
A hint of admiration appeared in Fang Lin's eyes. He turned his head around and asked, "Who's next?"
"I'll do it!"
A girl with a crew cut, who had a very hot face and body, strode forward. "I'm Huang Ting from the monster controller course. Please teach me, Meng Chao!"
Huang Ting was controlling a monster known as Dinofelis.
In Earth's history, Dinofelis were a subspecies of saber-toothed tigers. They were slightly smaller, and their serrated fangs were shorter.
But compared to the saber-toothed tigers' long and brittle fangs, Dinofelis's slightly shorter but thicker fangs were more suitable for harvesting primates, including humans' ancestors.
The archaeologists on Earth had discovered that many of the skulls of early humans had holes left behind by Dinofelis. They lived up to their name as human killers.
If they were named Dinofelis, then it was easy to imagine just how terrifying the Other World creatures were.
And as biochemical beasts, Dinofelis had gone through unique genetic modifications and machine modifications.
Their fangs and claws were made of super alloy, and they relied on their tendons to control them. They had three different lengths that could be adjusted, so they could tear apart tank armor with one claw and tear through monsters' throats with one bite.
There was also a thin membrane under their ribs. When it spread out, it allowed them to glide for a short period of time like a flying squirrel. It also increased their agility and hunting range.
Huang Ting's status among the monster controller freshmen was the same as Sun Ya, Xie Feng, and the other Four Great Kings in the martial arts course.
She came from a monster controller family, and her parents were both monster controllers. From the moment she started learning how to speak, she came into contact with a lot of monsters. She was especially skilled in controlling agile small and medium-sized feline-type monsters. With Dinofelis, she had defeated plenty of students who had monsters that were three to five times bigger than them.
When she saw that Meng Chao's Ultimate Style was known for its agility, Huang Ting stepped forward.
"Hello, Huang Ting."
Meng Chao nodded and put away his dagger by his waist. He did not draw his gun either. His hands were still empty.
This action angered Huang Ting. Her eyes sparkled, and she controlled Dinofelis to turn into a black afterimage that pounced on Meng Chao.
This time, Meng Chao did not dodge at all. He was instantly pounced on by Dinofelis.
'As expected, Dinofelis's speed and agility are five times that of Demonic Halberd Pigs. It's not something that can be dodged even if you just pour spirit energy into your branch meridians!'
Huang Ting's lips curled up, but she still held back. She only had Dinofelis extend its claws to the shortest length to grab Meng Chao's chest.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Blood splattered everywhere.
Meng Chao's tactical vest and uniform were torn. Blood gushed out and turned into two bloody arrows that went straight for Dinofelis's eyes.
Huang Ting and Dinofelis moved at the same time. She instinctively turned her head to the side.
But Meng Chao was like a slippery eel. He slipped out of Dinofelis's grasp.
Huang Ting was about to control Dinofelis to chase after him when her gaze suddenly focused, and an incredibly pained expression appeared on her face. She covered her ears and staggered as if she was drunk.
Everyone watched as Meng Chao circled behind her and used the same trick to push the dagger against her chin.
They cried out in surprise, but they could not "wake up" Huang Ting.
"How could this be?!"
It was not a problem for him to lose two rounds in a row, but he did not even know how he died. This was just too aggrieving.
"Infrasound buzzer!"
Fang Lin took over control of Dinofelis and immediately covered his left ear. He staggered before he regained his balance. Shock appeared on his face.
He took two steps forward and touched the dizzy Dinofelis's head. Then, he brought out a button-like device from its ear canal.
The infrasonic buzzer could produce low-frequency waves that humans couldn't hear. It was usually installed in mosquito killing lamps to attract mutated mosquitoes in the wild.
Dinofelis had been genetically modified, so their hearing was even sharper than that of wild Dinofelis. Their cochlea was naturally more exquisite and fragile.
When Meng Chao stuffed an infrasound buzzer into its ear canal without anyone noticing, its hearing and balance system were greatly affected, so it naturally lost control.
"When did you …"
Fang Lin's pupils shrank swiftly. "You intentionally let Dinofelis hug you and stuffed the buzzer into its ear canal at the risk of getting injured? But are you that confident that you can escape from Dinofelis's claws? "
Meng Chao tore open his shirt and revealed his wound.
There was a long and narrow scratch on his chest, but he used his spirit energy to control his muscles to seal up the wound. Not a single drop of blood flowed out.
At first glance, it looked like he had just completed a perfect suture.
"I can even control the hair on my legs. I can control my muscles precisely, so there's nothing wrong with me escaping from monsters' claws."
Fang Lin fell silent.
Huang Ting recovered from her dizziness. Her expression was blank, and she could not believe it.
Most of the monster controller freshmen were dumbfounded.
"You only know how to use these insignificant tricks! What kind of skill is that?!"
But there were also people who could not accept the fact that they had lost two rounds in a row and mumbled under their breath.
Fang Lin's expression darkened. He was about to turn his head around and scold Meng Chao.
Meng Chao had already removed the tactical vest filled with all sorts of monster materials and small items. He tossed it to the side.
Rip. He casually tore off a long strip of cloth from his torn uniform. Then, he tore off two balls of cloth and tied it over his head to cover his eyes. Then, he crumpled the pieces into balls and stuffed them into his ears.
He raised his empty hands and said with a smile, "I won't use any items or weapons in the next round, okay?"
"What?!" Fang Lin's expression changed.
The monster controller freshmen were excited.
"I'll do it!"
A tall and thin boy with a sharp gaze gritted his teeth and strode out.
Walking out with him was a wolf-shaped monster with a back as sharp as a scimitar. It walked quietly.
