#143 - Big fire!! - You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent?

Chapter 143: The Great Inferno!!

“Song Haitang! Let’s compete to see who kills more monsters!”

On the city wall.

A loud shout suddenly rang out.

The only one who would say such a thing was definitely Ma Jun!

This guy wasn't far from Sector 17. As soon as he finished speaking, he launched an attack on the monsters.

At this moment.

The torn talisman actually ignited automatically, then ascended into the air, transforming into a halo that descended behind Ma Jun.

Seeing this, Chen Kai's expression turned grave, and he immediately said, “It’s a one-time extraordinary item!”

“This is a one-time extraordinary item?” Wang Fei asked in surprise, “I’ve only heard of them, this is the first time I’ve seen one.”

Chen Kai said, “One-time extraordinary items, as the name suggests, can only be used once. They generally augment the user in some way, such as defense or endurance. Damage-amplifying one-time extraordinary items are rare and extremely expensive!”

He paused.

He looked at Ma Jun and added, “Judging from what Ma Jun is using, it should be a rune that increases endurance.”

Jiang Hebin then said, “Could this be his confidence?”

“I’m more curious about where he got the rune,” Zhang Chenggang said. “As far as I know, when Ma Jun was specially recruited by Jing University, it was also in the news. The news release seemed to say that his family's financial situation was very ordinary…”

“Perhaps the school leaders gave it to him, wanting him to win glory for Jing University? After all, it's almost the end of the year, and the rankings of major universities are about to begin…”

Amidst the discussions of the crowd.

Ma Jun made his move.

With the endurance rune buff, he was like a chicken on steroids, unleashing his ultimate move right from the start.

“Meteor Volcano!”

Ma Jun roared, his fists turning into magma, aimed at the sky.

Swish, swish, swish…

Countless magma fists shot out from his fists, continuously launching into the air.

Then, like cannonballs, they fell from the sky, smashing into the monster horde.

“Boom!”

Each magma fist, whether it landed on the ground or hit a monster's body, caused a violent explosion.

Although Ma Jun's "Meteor Volcano" could not compare to the real Admiral Akainu, its destructive power was still astonishing.

At least, it was enough to kill monsters!

In the continuous explosions, monsters were constantly blown away, even killed directly!!

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen monsters were killed by Ma Jun's magma fists…

The entire battlefield was dyed the crimson red of magma.

Ma Jun's outstanding performance.

Amazed countless people.

The Transcendent were fine, only feeling surprised, after all, they already knew that Ma Jun possessed the Magma-Magma Fruit ability.

Those native city-guarding soldiers were greatly shocked by the destructive power displayed by Ma Jun.

They could see Transcendent every year, but it was very rare to see someone as fierce as Ma Jun.

As for the regional commander where Ma Jun was located, he was overjoyed.

The stronger the partner performed, the easier it would be for these defending soldiers.

The more Ma Jun killed, the greater his credit as a regional commander.

Because the Transcendent would leave after one night.

And after the Transcendent left, the credit for killing the enemy would naturally be counted on these native soldiers.

At this time.

At the highest point of the city wall.

That general also noticed Ma Jun.

“The alien race actually has such abilities, truly astonishing!” the general praised.

The military advisor next to him immediately said, “General, you are blessed. With this young man here, defending the city tonight will surely be smooth!”

Although the general didn't say anything when he heard this, the expression on his face relaxed a lot.

…

Above the city wall.

Those monsters did not stop advancing because of Ma Jun's amazing performance.

On the contrary, they were all fearless, hardly affected, and still charged towards the city wall.

At this time.

The monsters had already rushed to the edge of the city wall and began to climb the wall.

Only then did the Transcendent discover that the monsters not only had strong limbs, but also terrifying claws, like sharp iron hooks, which could easily hang on the wall, allowing them to climb onto the city head!

Seeing this, many Transcendent were frightened and flustered.

But those native soldiers were very calm and made corresponding responses.

They threw all kinds of prepared stones down, smashing the monsters that were climbing the wall.

If the monsters climbed high enough, spearmen would come on the scene to stab the monsters to death!

In just a moment.

A large number of monsters accumulated under the city wall.

Many of them were monster corpses.

“Don't just stand there, hurry up and take action!”

A Transcendent shouted loudly.

Thus.

Each Transcendent began to show their special abilities, using all means to prevent the monsters from climbing the city wall.

At this moment.

The interests of all Transcendent were aligned.

If they failed to defend the city tonight, causing everyone's mission to fail, then everyone's mission progress would be reset to zero, and they would only be able to get the lowest reward from the Spirit Realm.

Which was 10 Spirit Energy Points!

…

At this time.

On Sector 17’s side.

The female commander did not urge Zhao Zheng and others to help stop the monsters. She led a team of female spear soldiers, forming an indestructible spear formation, constantly strangling the monsters.

And Zhao Zheng had been watching.

He was actually observing the strength of the monsters.

Although he was very confident in his own strength, he would not be arrogant, let alone rush out to kill monsters rashly.

It's better to be safe than sorry!

In case there were beings among the monsters that could restrain him, he might capsize in the gutter if he rushed out rashly.

Therefore, he had to observe clearly first.

Fortunately.

So far, no monsters that could suppress him had appeared.

The battlefield at this moment was very lively.

Seeing everyone killing monsters, Jiang Hebin and others couldn't sit still anymore.

“Brother Zhao, should we help defend the city?”

“Yeah, Brother Zhao, that commander can't hold on anymore, the monsters are about to rush up…”

Indeed.

Although the female commander was quite strong, she was still within the scope of normal people, and her abilities were limited.

Although they killed many monsters, there were too many monsters, and they could not be killed at all.

There were already signs that they could not be suppressed.

“I’ll do it!”

Song Haitang took the initiative to stand up.

I saw the girl raise her right palm.

“Poof!”

A raging flame rose from her palm.

The flames gathered and soon formed a giant fireball!

The girl waved her hand, and the giant fireball flew out and landed under the city wall.

“Boom!”

An explosion sounded.

Jiang Hebin and others felt that the city wall under their feet seemed to vibrate.

Countless monsters blocking the city wall were instantly swallowed by the sea of fire.

The fire spread rapidly on the ground.

Soon.

A sea of fire more than ten meters wide and hundreds of meters long was formed under the city wall.

The entire battlefield was instantly lit up.

At least hundreds of monsters died in the sea of fire.

Most importantly, the sea of fire released by Song Haitang could continue to burn on the earth, and the fire showed no signs of weakening.

The appearance of such a sea of fire quickly stopped the monsters from attacking the city wall, and also greatly reduced the pressure on defending the city in several areas!

Seeing Song Haitang's performance, the superhumans were all surprised.

Many people had a thought in their minds: Song Haitang is indeed the number one freshman!

With just one move, she caused heavy casualties to the monsters, preventing them from charging the city wall again.

Her performance was no less than that of Ma Jun from Jing University.

"Hmph!"

Not far away, Ma Jun saw Song Haitang's performance and only snorted coldly, then continued to unleash magma fists.

In this short time, he had already killed hundreds of monsters.

He believed that with the help of the endurance rune, his kill count tonight would definitely surpass Song Haitang.

Even if Song Haitang's strength was stronger than him, her endurance definitely couldn't compare to his.

… …

On the side of Area 17.

The female commander felt the pressure ease and gave Song Haitang a grateful look.

Jiang Hebin and the others were even more excited.

"Sister Haitang is mighty!"

"Sister Haitang is really too powerful."

Flattery continued.

Faced with these flatteries, Song Haitang's pretty face remained calm.

Because she knew that her strength was completely incomparable to Zhao Zheng.

She also didn't urge Zhao Zheng to take action.

She believed that Zhao Zheng definitely had his own plans.

Just then.

Zhao Zheng noticed that some different monsters were approaching the city wall.

These monsters were smaller than the previous monsters, with an overall whitish color and many tentacles on their bodies.

Moreover, these tentacles were covered with sharp bone spurs.

"It's a White Spike!"

The female commander exclaimed, and quickly said: "Everyone, retreat quickly!"

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the White Spike monsters on the ground began to move.

The tentacles on their bodies all swung towards the top of the city wall.

"Swish swish swish…"

The bone spurs on the tentacles were actually thrown out like bullets, shooting towards the crowd on the city wall.

Zhao Zheng immediately stood in front of Song Haitang, activating Armament Haki to block the bone spurs for Song Haitang.

"Buzz!"

The Grandmaster-level Armament Haki was very amazing.

Zhao Zheng's entire body instantly turned black, shining black, like metal.

"Clang clang clang…"

The bone spurs shot at Zhao Zheng, like nails hitting metal, making crisp impact sounds.

Not even a single hair on Zhao Zheng was hurt.

However.

The other people around weren't so lucky.

Those superhumans never imagined that there would actually be ranged attacks in the monster group?

Even with the native soldiers reminding them, a large number of superhumans were still hit by this wave.

"Ah!!"

"F*ck!! What the hell is this thing?"

"I'm injured!"

For a time.

Various screams rang out on the city wall.

Fortunately, they were superhumans with strong physiques, and being shot by bone spurs only resulted in injuries, with relatively few deaths.

However.

The trouble was that there were many barbs on the bone spurs.

Pulling them out would probably be a painful experience.

"How are you guys?"

Zhao Zheng looked back at Jiang Hebin and the others: "Is anyone injured?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Zhao Zheng didn't let them take action before, so they were standing relatively far back. At the moment the female commander reminded them, they only needed to crouch down to easily avoid the bone spur attack.

So, none of them were injured.

"Brother Zheng, did you just block the bone spurs with your body?" Wang Fei couldn't help but ask: "What kind of ability is that?"

Zhao Zheng said: "It's not my talent ability, it's Armament Haki!"

Everyone was very surprised and wanted to continue asking…

"Dong! Dong!"

Suddenly, the sound of war drums rang out!

On the highest city wall, there were also two soldiers signaling with flags.

Soon.

A large number of archers seemed to have received orders, climbed onto the city wall, drew their bows and nocked arrows, and exchanged shots with those White Spike monsters.

At this time.

The sea of fire that Song Haitang had just released had also finished burning and was slowly extinguishing.

Without the sea of fire blocking them, a large number of monsters once again rushed towards the city wall.

With the White Spikes assisting, others didn't dare to show their heads.

The situation suddenly became serious.

There was something even more terrifying…

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

The earth suddenly transmitted rhythmic vibrations.

Everyone immediately realized that this was the sound of footsteps of a giant creature.

There was a giant creature.

Was approaching the location of the city wall.

The female commander's expression changed, and she immediately looked up, looking towards the distance.

When she saw the behemoth in the distance, a look of despair appeared on her pretty face.

Not only her.

The soldiers, including the generals on the city wall, all had despairing expressions.

A captain couldn't help but loudly wail: "My life is over!"

Zhao Zheng also saw the behemoth.

That was a giant monster, its appearance was very similar to a gecko, but its size was many times larger than a gecko!

Its height alone was ten meters, and its body length was close to a hundred meters.

Such a huge monster, just its appearance, before even getting close, brought a terrifying pressure to everyone.

"What kind of monster is that?" Jiang Hebin exclaimed.

The female commander said: "That is a Pao Xiao, one of the seven fierce beasts in the monster group!"

After a pause, the female commander reminded: "Find a chance later and escape! Tonight, this city is probably not defendable…"

These words caused everyone's expressions to change.

Jiang Hebin anxiously said: "Why? Is this monster that powerful?"

"Yes! No one can stop the Pao Xiao!" The female commander said: "I don't know much about the Pao Xiao, but every time the Pao Xiao appears, the city will be broken!"

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their heads again and looked towards the Pao Xiao monster.

Indeed.

That monster was too big, and its strength was probably also very amazing.

Although this city wall was built very high and thick, it couldn't withstand the impact of that kind of monster.

With this kind of monster around, breaking through the city wall would definitely not be difficult!

But…

Everyone's mission was to defend the city wall.

If the city wall was breached by the monsters, the mission would definitely fail.

"How could this be?" Jiang Hebin couldn't help but say: "Didn't they say that there are no missions in the Spirit Realm that are destined to lose? How can we stop this kind of monster from appearing?"

Zhao Zheng was also a little strange.

He even suspected whether the Spirit Realm arranged monsters according to the strength of the superhumans?

For example, his current strength was very strong, so the Spirit Realm arranged a Pao Xiao monster here?

Thinking carefully, Zhao Zheng felt that it was impossible.

If the Spirit Realm arranged opponents according to the strength of the superhumans, then he wouldn't have been able to easily obtain SSS-level mission evaluations the previous few times.

So, this was just a coincidence?

They encountered a Pao Xiao monster, purely unlucky?

… …

A moment later.

The Pao Xiao monster was getting closer and closer to the city wall.

It was already less than two hundred meters away.

Its huge body brought a mountain-like sense of oppression to everyone.

"Great Fireball!"

A roar came.

It was Ma Jun from Jing University who took action.

The other party did his best and unleashed the strongest attack of his life.

He saw his entire arm turn into magma, forming an incomparably huge magma fist, and then aimed at the Pao Xiao monster and punched it out…
