"What a surprise. I can’t believe we ran into him! He sent the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog flying with a single punch, tsk tsk! Even I couldn’t do that. It looks like he’s even more formidable than we imagined!" Shao Yushan said, also completely astonished.
"Should we send a message to Master Fu?" Jiao Zhiming asked.
"Hold on. It’s not the right time. We’ll watch for a while longer. Besides... have you forgotten what Master Fu is doing right now? If we go and disturb him now... I’m afraid... you get it, right?"
Shao Yushan turned his head, giving him a look that said, ’You know what would happen.’
"Er, of course, I get it! We’ll wait a little longer, then!" Hearing this, Jiao Zhiming immediately abandoned the idea of sending a message.
Although Hex Anmin had said to message him the moment they found any trace of this candidate, Xiaofu, the messenger, was currently "enjoying life." Even if they sent word, he wouldn’t be able to deliver it to Hex Anmin immediately. They might even interrupt his... fun... and get chewed out for it. It just wasn’t worth the trouble. It was better to watch for a while and then make a plan...
"GROAK! GROAK! GROAK!!"
Just then, reeling from the Heavy Strike, the enraged Fire Scorpion Giant Frog staggered back to its feet. It glared with its two enormous, round eyes, searching for the enemy that had just attacked it.
When it saw Tang Yi and realized the one who had attacked it was a mere human, the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog flew into an absolute rage.
While the last blow had dealt immense physical damage, its pride had suffered a far deeper, indelible wound.
’It was a majestic Level 5 Demon Beast—a top-tier one, massive in size! And it had been sent flying several meters by a human no bigger than an ant?’
And if that wasn’t bad enough...
’After sending it flying, the human just stood there, a corner of his mouth turned up in a mocking smile, looking down on it as if this was all a game.’
’How could the proud Fire Scorpion Giant Frog possibly tolerate such an attitude?’
’When had it ever been so disdained by a human?’
’Weren’t all the hundreds of other humans here scared to death at the sight of it? None of them were like this one standing before it.’
’No matter what, this human who had dared to punch it had to die!’
The Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s eyes gradually turned blood-red. Staring at Tang Yi, a torrent of fury erupted from it, surging toward the heavens.
Though this rage was aimed at Tang Yi, its sheer immensity was palpable even to the candidates of the Three Major Zones.
In the face of this fury, everyone except Tang Yi was terrified. They shivered, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
It was only then that the candidates from the Three Major Zones realized... so *this* was the True Power of a Level 5 Demon Beast, the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog!
How ridiculous! And to think they had been delusional enough to think they could kill it.
Judging by the aura the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog was now unleashing, they probably couldn’t kill it even with another hundred candidates. In fact, not only would they fail, but countless more of them would have died at its hands!
This was the might of the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog! The Fire Scorpion Giant Frog truly lived up to its name as one of the most elite among Level 5 Demon Beasts!
"GROAK!"
With a furious roar, having identified Tang Yi as the culprit, the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s massive maw gaped open, and a tongue of flame shot out.
It would have its revenge. It would Annihilate that human, burn him to ash!
Fueled by the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s boundless rage, this tongue of flame was infused with an immense Power!
The color of the flame was an even more brilliant Red than when it had attacked the candidates of the Three Major Zones, and its Speed was far greater!
Not only that, but the flame’s temperature was higher, and its fire-toxin was more potent!
The tongue of flame already carried an extremely high temperature and a potent fire-toxin. If any candidates lacked the strength to defend themselves, even a single touch of the flame would either burn them to cinders or kill them with the toxin.
That was, of course, assuming the flames even had to hit the candidate.
But now, as the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog spat out its flame, some candidates from the Three Major Zones who were merely *near* its path were instantly incinerated into ash, with no time to react.
The tongue of flame hadn’t even touched them; they had been burned to death by the intense heat alone!
This just went to show how much more terrifying the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s attack was this time. The temperature was frightfully high—it was easily more than twice as powerful as before.
Seeing this, all the candidates from the Three Major Zones, whether near or far, scrambled to get away. They wanted to be as far as possible from the blast, each one utterly terrified of being caught in the aftermath of the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s attack.
No kidding. After seeing candidates get incinerated without even being touched by the fire, who would dare stay close? It was a miracle they hadn’t already turned tail and run for their lives!
To the candidates of the Three Major Zones, it was simple logic: if they, who were only caught in the periphery, were in such danger, then the candidate from the North District who had actually punched the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog was as good as dead.
Not only had he enraged the Fire Scorpion Giant Frog, but now he was just standing there motionless in the face of its flame attack. Was he just going to stand there like an idiot, waiting for the flames to hit him?
They, candidates of the Three Major Zones, were burned to death just for being near the attack. That guy was at the very center of the assault, the direct target of the flame. No matter how powerful or extraordinary he was, he was about to be burned to a crisp by those horrifying flames.
"What a waste. For a candidate with such power and Talent to die at the hands of a Level 5 Demon Beast. He can already send a Level 5 Demon Beast flying with a single punch. Give him a few more years to train, and this thing wouldn’t stand a chance against him."
"Yeah, I can’t believe we have someone that strong among the candidates. A Demon Beast that hundreds of us couldn’t even budge, and he sent it flying with one punch. Too bad a guy like that is about to die."
"The Fire Scorpion Giant Frog’s flames are just too terrifying. No mortal body could possibly Resist it. I used to think regular Level 5 Demon Beasts were tough, but after seeing this Fire Scorpion Giant Frog today, I finally know what real power is! Its strength is probably on par with a Level 6 Demon Beast, don’t you think?"
"Exactly! And we were delusional enough to think we could kill a Demon Beast like this? It’s pathetic. I regret coming on this mission. We never stood a chance against it! It’s a shame about that powerful candidate, too. If he had made it to the West Mansion, he might have become the leader of our entire class of candidates."
"Sigh... what’s the use of talking about it now? No matter how strong he is, there’s no way he’s getting out of this alive."
"What’s there to feel sorry for? Look at his uniform—he’s from the North District! He came over with those other North District candidates! Who cares if a North District genius dies? It’s no loss at all!"
"Good riddance."
"Well said!"
