Chapter 152 The rebellion must wait until it ends

"Hey, you're quite resilient," Feng Wuyu laughed. "Are you hoping for the curse to wear off? Tsk tsk, how naive. Twenty seconds is plenty of time for me to shoot."

*Bang*~

A shot hit Wu Di's knee, and his left leg buckled. Another shot hit his right leg, and it too gave way. "Still not giving up? Then I won't hold back."

Suddenly, the referee raised his hand. "Feng Wuyu wins!"

The contestant could surrender, or the captain could do so on their behalf. Clearly, Wang Feng had spoken to the referee.

Winnie was livid. This useless waste, why didn't he surrender earlier? Why prolong it? "Kela, go help Wu Di down."

Feng Wuyu shrugged nonchalantly. Beating a Beastman was child's play. "Oh, one male and one female? I should have let you fight together, mixed doubles!"

Laughter erupted from the Judgment side. The Rose disciples were not amused; they were furious. Why oppose?

Because once they entered Rose, they represented Rose. Why did Principal Karida allow them in!

Morale among Rose was at an all-time low. Fantasi hurried over to help Kela carry Wu Di down. The curse had worn off, but Wu Di was badly injured and distraught. He said nothing as they carried him away, his face devoid of color.

Not trying hard enough?

He and Kela worked harder than anyone, but what good did it do?

Against Exorcists, they were still powerless. Wu Di sat dejectedly, the mental blow far heavier than any physical pain.

For the third match, it was Judgment's turn to send someone out. Cai Yunhe, one of the Three Guns of Judgment, stepped forward. Though his reputation was poor, his skills were undeniable. A third-year student specializing in firearms and also an Exorcist—a popular combination these days known as a Gun Mage.

"Tsk, I said it before!" Mo Tong was still upset about his spirit jade ointment. It was all Wang Feng's fault. If he hadn't convinced this Beastman to fight, it would have been easier for everyone. "Beastmen aren't strong enough, Wang Feng. You made him fight, but it's not your pain..."

Yin Fu tugged at his sleeve, frowning. "Mo Tong, stop talking..."

Mo Tong was taken aback.

What the hell, were they all blind? He used his spirit jade ointment to save Wu Di!

"Someone from Rose, come out." Cai Yunhe said confidently, scanning the crowd. His eyes landed on Rachel. "Nice figure, also a gun user. Perfect match."

He had never tried a Rose disciple before. Now that he looked, expansion had its perks. The talent pool was impressive.

"Well, are you coming or not? Or maybe you can all come at once, since none of you can take a hit." Cai Yunhe sneered.

Winnie couldn't stand it. "This one's mine. I'll make him call me grandma!"

But Wang Feng stopped her. "Kela, you go!"

Everyone stared at Wang Feng in disbelief. "What the hell, Wang Feng, are you insane? He's a Gun Mage, and you're sending Kela?"

"Afeng, Afeng, calm down, don't be rash." Fantasi was stunned and quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Wang Feng, don't get above yourself. Who do you think you are?" Winnie was truly angry. Her temper had been reined in significantly since arriving here.

"Even if you want to rebel, wait until after this match. For now, I'm still the captain. Face isn't given by others; it's earned." Wang Feng said.

Kela nodded, holding her weapon, a Beastman spear she had specially crafted for this match. Though not a soul weapon, it increased her chances slightly.

When Rose saw Wang Feng directing Kela to fight, the crowd exploded. The pent-up anger surged towards Wang Feng.

"You idiot, he's a Gun Mage! Send yourself if you want to die!"

"This sycophant, I thought he changed. Damn it, if I ever support him again, I'm a dog."

Even those close to Wang Feng couldn't tolerate it. "Is Wang Feng crazy? At least send a Soul Beastmaster."

"Really stubborn, where does he get his confidence?"

Seeing the Rose disciples' outrage, the Judgment disciples laughed. They were speechless. How could someone so stupid be the president of Rose's council? Such a Rose deserved to fall.

Some Rose disciples had already left, unable to watch any longer.

"We'll wait outside and beat the Wang guy after this!"

"Even pigs wouldn't arrange it like this."

"Let's go, this is torture. My IQ can't handle it!"

The entire arena was in chaos, forcing the referee to maintain order. Hei Wu Kai had returned at some point, watching the chaos calmly, while Wang Feng seemed unperturbed.

It was getting interesting.

In the principal's office.

*Bam*~

Karida slammed her palm down, reducing the table to dust. Lan Tian was equally exasperated.

"Is he really that stupid?"

"The situation is out of control. Wang Feng is talented, but he's not a fighter and hasn't studied tactics. Is the pressure too much?"

Karida hadn't expected it to escalate like this. The impact of this match was worse than anticipated.

"Should we stop it?" Lan Tian asked.

Karida shook her head. It was too late. Stopping it would only make things worse.

On the field, Cai Yunhe looked at Kela incredulously. He had expected Wang Feng or Winnie to step up. Others might fear Winnie, a Soul Beastmaster, but he wasn't intimidated. As a descendant of the Li family, he relied on skill, not reputation.

If not, beating the new president would suit him just fine. What was this Beastman doing here?

"Give you a chance to switch opponents. I won't fight a beastman with a stick. That thing is only good for knocking down bird nests." Cai Yunhe said indifferently.

Kela's eyes remained calm as water: "If you don't want to fight, you can admit defeat and get lost."

The crowd at the judgment area was stunned for a moment before erupting into a commotion.

"Has this beastman taken the wrong medicine? How dare he speak to our people like that!"

"Presumptuous! Filthy slave, who gave you the right!"

"The Roses are treating these beastmen like gods, look what they've bred!"

"Hahaha!" Cai Yunhe laughed instead of getting angry, then his smile suddenly vanished, and he reached behind him. As he touched it, the massive strange gun glowed red.

"I'll take your life!"

*Boom!*

The large muzzle suddenly shone, and the terrifying recoil lifted the entire gun. A thick beam of red light shot straight at Kela's position!

The attack came without warning; even the referee's signal to start hadn't sounded yet. It was practically an ambush. The massive energy blast exploded where Kela stood.

This heavy soul force attack clearly had a burning effect. Debris flew, flames flickered, and smoke filled the air.

"Did it hit?"

"With that power... could the beastwoman be dead?"

*Whoosh!*

A figure burst out from the side of the smoky energy.

The figure ran on all fours, moving unlike a human, but incredibly fast, like an arrow released from a bow.

Beast Run!

A unique movement technique of the beastmen, only their unusually long and strong arms could allow them to mimic the running style of beasts, utilizing every muscle to achieve extreme speed!

She actually managed to dodge such a near-ambush?

Cai Yunhe's pupils constricted slightly.

This beastwoman is incredibly fast...

*Thud thud thud!*

Cai Yunhe moved swiftly, his figure like the wind, retreating while firing another shot. His gun was a genuine soul weapon, a high-quality piece from Anhe Hall called the "Fire Cloud Cannon," powerful but difficult to control, reserved for elite gunners. He was unmatched in Aurora City with the Fire Cloud Cannon, and even in the Hero Tournament, he was no unknown quantity.

*Boom! Bang!*

It seemed to have hit... No!

In the blinding energy flash, the figure lunged out again. This time, in just a second or two, she had closed the distance by several meters.

Kela wasn't unscathed; she had several burn marks, which continued to burn. It was a curse, and beastmen were poor at resisting it, like being constantly burned. With each attack, the burning intensified, making it excruciatingly painful even with soul force defense, let alone without it.

Cai Yunhe was now intrigued. Regardless of other things, these beastmen had remarkable pain tolerance. Well, struggling prey makes the hunt more interesting.

*Boom boom boom boom...*

Four consecutive shots, the Fire Cloud Matrix!

The rapid succession showcased Cai Yunhe's profound soul force and control. The Fire Cloud Cannon didn't move an inch, and he kept it steady despite the recoil. Not only that, the intervals between the four shots were perfectly timed. His reputation was well-deserved.

Faced with such an attack, Kela could only dodge, but she didn't. She knew her time was limited. Gathering all her strength, she leaped up and through the only gap in the attack matrix.

In that split second, no one expected the beastwoman to be so bold. Being hit would mean death, but Kela's body was incredibly flexible. She squeezed through the center of the matrix, taking the full brunt of the burning effect, igniting her skin.

As soon as she landed, the spear was already in her hand. This was her only chance!

Ignoring her own condition, the only way to wash away the humiliation was with victory. Wang Feng was right; fleeing or relying on others' pity would never make them stand tall.

All her strength was concentrated in this single strike, and she had entered the close combat range, unfavorable for gunners. The entire arena fell silent. Could there be a miracle?

Cai Yunhe's lips curled into a sneer, and the Fire Cloud Cannon suddenly ignited. "Die!"
