Chapter 144: You Wanna Dance? Forceful Suppression

“Did you see it? Did you guys see it?”

A Pangu trainee suddenly felt vindicated and burst into laughter after seeing Ling Jiu smashing the Centipede Dragon’s skull .

“I told you Ling Jiu was going to defeat the beast’s defense . Yet you didn’t believe it . Now what are you all going to say about it?”

Everyone remained silent . Seeing was believing .

“Ling Jiu is so badass?” Han Chujun was wide-eyed . “When did he become so badass?”

“I underestimated him . ” Francis looked grave . “But—”

“But what, my dear?” Han Chujun looked at her boyfriend .

“He has shattered the beast’s hard armor, and the obstacle standing in our way no longer exists, which means we can kill the beast now . ”

Francis lunged out in a flash and got up over the Centipede Dragon’s head as soon as his voice trailed off .

“Thank you for breaking this brute’s armor . After I take out the energy crystals from its belly, I can give a few more pieces to you!”

The other trainees’ eyes lit up . They all could not wait as soon as they heard what Francis said .

The Centipede Dragon was vulnerable now since its hard armor on the head was broken .

Would this not mean that they could take the energy crystals out from its stomach?

Everyone was an eager beaver and ready for a fight with this thinking in mind .

“There are only a few dozen energy crystals . With so many people here, they are not enough to go around . I have got to grab as many energy crystals and as quickly as possible . ”

Everyone started to think inwardly, caring only about themselves, as if the comrades who were joining forces with them were competitors .

“Give me a few more?”

Ling Jiu smirked as he looked at Francis . “I can do it myself . I don’t need your help . ”

“You must have misunderstood something, Ling Jiu . ”

Francis scowled . “We all found this Centipede Dragon together . The energy crystals in its stomach should belong to all of us . You can’t change this, although you were the one who shattered its armor . ”

“Exactly . ”

“Francis is right . ”

“We found this Centipede Dragon, and everything, including the energy crystals, should rightly belong to all of us . ”

“Who is trying to hog the energy crystals?”

“We won’t allow that to happen!”

All the trainees clamored . They admitted that Ling Jiu was stronger than any of them but they were not afraid of him collectively .

So what if he was the one defeating the Centipede Dragon’s defense? They would not be afraid of him since there were so many of them . Could Ling Jiu take on so many of them?

“Did you hear that, Ling Jiu?”

Francis folded his arms in front of his chest with a faint smile on his face . “Stop thinking of keeping all the energy crystals to yourself . Even if I agree, everyone else here will not!”

“Listen, step aside . Let me kill this Centipede Dragon and I will give you a few more of the energy crystals . ”

“These guys are shameless!”

Shi Gang gritted his teeth . “If it weren’t for Ling Jiu, they could not have defeated the Centipede Dragon’s defense, let alone taking out the energy crystals . Shame on them!”

“That’s human nature . ” Dylon shook his head .

Looking at those clamoring trainees, and at Francis, who was leaning back and watching, Ling Jiu’s face broke out in a smile . “Do you all also want to dance?”

“What do you mean?” Everyone was taken aback .

“How dare trash like you all think of taking away my things? You all should be ashamed of yourself!” Ling Jiu’s expression changed abruptly . “Tenfold gravity force!”

A terrifying gravity force crushed them to the ground . Only a few could withstand this terrifying force .

Francis was one of them . He fought back the tenfold increase in gravity and stared dead at Ling Jiu . “What are you doing, Ling Jiu?”

“You are not qualified to talk to me!”

Ling Jiu raised his leg and kicked Francis on his chin, sending him flying backward .

Francis defied the tenfold gravity force and did a somersault midair before landing steadily . “You are too much, Ling Jiu!”

He lunged at Ling Jiu at once .

“Not bad!”

The corners of Ling Jiu’s mouth were upturned . “Twentyfold gravity force!”

Francis trembled all over, his movement slowing down . As powerful as his physique was, the twentyfold increase in gravity force was simply too much to take .

More so for the other trainees, who could barely stand up but were pressed to the ground .

Only Han Chujun and that Pangu trainee standing far behind were unaffected .

“I knew it! I knew it would be like this!”

That Pangu trainee trembled with excitement . “How dare those guys go against Ling Jiu? They are looking for trouble!”

“I can’t believe that Ling Jiu is so badass!”

It shocked Han Chujun again . Ling Jiu’s smashing of the Centipede Dragon’s defense earlier was all about his physical power . But power was only a part of an arcanist’s strength .

Many powerful, physically enhanced arcanists only possessed brute power, but their actual combat effectiveness was quite average .

Physical power was not the only measurement of an arcanist’s combat strength . Speed, defenses, endurance, damage ability of an arcana were also crucial .

This was also an vital reason everyone still dared to challenge Ling Jiu for the energy crystals after Ling Jiu showed his terrifying physical power . There would always be someone more powerful than you were in terms of physical power .

Not to mention that there were so many people here .

Ling Jiu did not use his physical power right now . Instead, he was performing a Gravity Arcana, crushing everyone down to their knees .

“Stop it, Ling Jiu!” Han Chujun shouted .

“Who are you to order me? I was calling you my old classmate out of courtesy . It seems like you don’t even know your place . ”

Ling Jiu sneered . “Speaking of which, I have got to commend something about you, old classmate . You could have found someone else as your boyfriend . Why this guy?”

Han Chujun could not find a word to respond for a time .

“OK, I’m just kidding . Don’t take it seriously!”

Ling Jiu suddenly shook his head, flicking his fingers with a smile and sending everyone, including Francis, flying out backward .

Those trainees clambered to their feet after the gravity force was lifted, their faces pale, as if they had just been brought back from death .
