Chapter 99: Battling Against The Chrono Croc Transformation

Instantly, Wu Bingji's interest significantly increased, and without further thought, he quietly waited along with everyone else.

Tang San had already become the center of attention among the students in just two practical combat classes.

Mu Enqing called the other teachers over and recounted Tang San's performance to them.

When they heard his story, Mu Yunyu was visibly surprised, while Guan Longjiang called Wu Bingji aside to inquire about the details. Si Ru appeared the calmest, but his gaze never left Tang San.

The students and even these teachers were eager to see how Tang San would face Gu Li's Chrono Croc Transformation.

After resting for about fifteen minutes, Tang San stood up again, his eyes regaining their sparkle.

Wu Bingji's mouth twitched when he saw this; in all fairness, he hadn't meditated, but he was still far from fully recovering, so how had Tang San gotten himself together so fast? "Hey, what's the deal with you? You've recovered in just fifteen minutes?"

One of the best features of Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Technique was the endless vitality it generated, and the battle with Wu Bingji hadn’t deplete much of his physical energy anyway. Moreover, his Discerning Eye offered him strong spiritual recovery. Naturally, he didn't need much time.

"Senior brother Gu Li, we can start now."

"Okay."

Under the watchful eyes of the four teachers and fourteen other students, Tang San and Gu Li stood twenty meters apart.

"Ready!" Mu Enqing still served as the referee.

Lights began to ascend from both of them, and Gu Li's eyes instantly took on a somewhat ethereal quality.

Looking into his eyes, Tang San felt he could see both the future and the past. This Chrono Croc Transformation is interesting!

Gu Li's body began to transform. In addition to the time manipulation ability, the Chrono Croc Transformation granted him substantial defenses as well. After all, crocodiles were armored creatures.

Naturally, a green light emanated from Tang San's body. Stimulated by the Wind Wolf bloodline imprint, his body was enveloped in swirling green light.

"Begin!" With Mu Enqing's command, this unique battle commenced.

Without any hesitation, Tang San flicked his hands, sending two wind blades flying straight at Gu Li.

Gu Li charged toward him with large strides, and as a light flashed in his eyes, the time flowing around them momentarily distorted.

In that instant, Tang San felt like everything had frozen—a complete suspension of time and space. The wind blades in the air halted, as did he. Even his breathing and blood flow ceased momentarily. His heart skipped half a beat.

Unaffected, Gu Li continued his strides toward Tang San.

The next moment, Tang San returned to normal, but the two wind blades he had thrown were now erratic, veering off their intended path.

At that moment, Tang San released two more wind blades from his hands while tapping the ground with the tip of his foot, shifting directions and flying backward instead.

By then, Gu Li had already charged a few meters forward, confident that the initial wind blades no longer threatened him. He prepared to charge a few more meters to gain control.

However, the wind blades Tang San threw for the second time were incredibly fast, and their target was not Gu Li but the first two wind blades he had released.

The subsequent wind blades collided with the ones ahead of them, creating an eerie scene. The wind energy of the four wind blades merged, and they transformed into two in midair. Driven by the momentum of the latter blades, these two stronger blades slashed straight at Gu Li!

At this moment, Gu Li had just charged out five meters, taking his fourth step.

Caught by surprise, he had no choice but to use the time control of Chrono Croc Transformation again, forcibly bringing everything around him to a standstill.

Meanwhile, Tang San, supported by the wind, had already flown backward a few meters, widening the initially closed gap.

As the effect of Chrono Croc Transformation expired, Gu Li advanced a few meters while Tang San retreated further, moving diagonally backward. At the same time, two more wind blades flew out.

The two wind blades, formed from the previous four, were about to explode. But in an instant, they were caught up by the two later ones, stabilizing again. Their power increased even more, and they still pursued Gu Li.

This control left Wu Bingji, who was watching, dumbfounded. His mind was filled with only one thought: How...is this possible? But...it really is possible!

These past few days, he had thought that he had discovered the essence of element control, and he had a good direction to move forward. But seeing Tang San manipulating wind in such a ridiculous way, he realized that what he thought he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

Gu Li was also startled as the twice-impacted wind blades were now closer to him. Although he had great confidence in his defense, he had witnessed Tang San slicing through nine ice shields with the Wind God's Cleaver. He dared not directly confront such a mighty technique.

All the students of the Redemption Society had a completely different understanding of Tang San's wind blades compared to ordinary ones.

Gu Li was forced to activate the Chrono Croc Transformation again, causing time to pause.

Tang San and his wind blades froze in place. Gu Li's large tail whipped fiercely on the ground, propelling him forward at an accelerated pace.

The moment the time freeze was lifted, just as Tang San was about to retreat and release more wind blades, the void-like shimmer in Gu Li's eyes flickered again, deploying another time freeze.

He didn't give Tang San another chance to release and merge wind blades in the void. Preferring to expend more energy instantly, he hastened to catch up and deliver a heavy blow to Tang San.

Even Mu Enqing was impressed by this tactic. The sudden change in the rhythm of the battle was executed very well.

Indeed, the twice-frozen wind blades, not receiving any replenishment, finally dissipated. And Gu Li finally reached Tang San. To save time, he didn't even bother to use his tail for an attack, instead lowering his head and charging directly at Tang San's chest. Simultaneously, he deployed his third consecutive time freeze right when Tang San had just been released from control.

Triple move—this was the limit of what Gu Li could achieve. Such rapid and continuous use of his ability significantly increased the rate at which his bloodline power was consumed.

Finally, his head collided with Tang San's chest. In this instance, no matter how strong Tang San's abilities were or how high his control of the wind element was, he could not escape. He could only be struck. This was the terrifying power that this formidable second-tier Demonic God Transformation brought his opponent.

Compared to Wu Bingji, Gu Li's cultivation was far inferior; he was only at the fourth order, while Wu Bingji was at the sixth. Tang San himself was around the middle of the fifth order, so he was in-between. However, Gu Li's continuous tactical use of his abilities nullified Tang San's advantages, restraining him and closing indirectly.

Thud!

Gu Li's head harshly collided with Tang San's chest.

The teachers were all prepared to intervene. To almost everyone, Tang San was the type who excelled in long-range attack but had a weak defense, a common perception of wind element users.

The wind element improved speed, and wind blades had strong cutting power; its characteristic was freedom and unpredictability. However, it was notably weak in defense. Even if one could form a wind shield, it couldn't have the defensive solid power of an ice shield, not to mention that Tang San didn't have time to create one in the first place.

However, just as Gu Li's head collided with Tang San's chest, he suddenly felt a sucking force from Tang San's torso. His head hit Tang San square in the chest, but Tang San wasn't directly knocked away.

Tang San's chest and abdomen seemed to cave in, but at the same time, Gu Li could feel that the hit wasn't solid.

Then, he felt the pulling force.

It was a chilling feeling. Having used the time-freeze ability of Chrono Croc Transformation thrice in succession, Gu Li's bloodline was at its most turbulent and significantly depleted state. As Tang San devoured his energy, Gu Li felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, his muscles weakened, and the clash felt as if he was hitting a big pile of cotton rather than a human ribcage.

To others, Gu Li’s head appeared to collide with Tang San’s chest and push him backward, helpless to resist Gu Li’s momentum.
