Chapter 280: 182. Huge waves surge! Yuan Dongzhi is defeated!_2
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Is he really an Earthling?"
"Are you sure he's not an alien?"
The hunchbacked man in the mask found it incredibly unbelievable and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Yuan Dongzhi remained silent.
At this moment, although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was already tumultuous.
The shock she felt was not much less than that of the hunchbacked masked man.
She knew Lin Zichen had a formidable physique, but she did not expect his mental strength to be just as powerful.
Powerful enough to defeat a fox demon with a high-level spiritual strength and skilled in using illusion techniques.
This exaggerated talent, even if placed in the Origin Land, would be one in ten thousand.
A once-in-a-generation genius that would make all the major powers of the Origin Land go crazy.
"Principal Yuan, it's time to end this."
The hunchbacked man in the mask said this, and with a thought, summoned countless vines that surged wildly towards Yuan Dongzhi.
Yuan Dongzhi immediately reinforced the water membrane for defense.
However, there were more vines in this attack than ever before.
Under the vines' frantic absorption, the water membrane became as thin as paper and then tore apart.
Without the protection of the water membrane, Yuan Dongzhi was instantly entangled by the vines, unable to move a muscle.
In this moment of crisis, she made a resolute decision to further activate the Exotic Beast Gene within her body.
Subsequently, sharp and hard dragon scales grew all over her body in an instant, severing all the vines wrapped around her.
But just as she freed herself, a massive number of vines surged over again, entwining her tightly once more.
The forest was the hunchbacked masked man's home ground.
Without the reinforcement from the water source, Yuan Dongzhi was no match for the hunchbacked masked man in the forest and was completely suppressed throughout the fight.
"Buzz...buzz...buzz!"
A loud buzzing sound of air being torn apart echoed.
Numerous thorny giant vines shot out at high speed.
With a momentum that blotted out the sky and sun, they covered Yuan Dongzhi, engulfing her in boundless darkness.
"Principal Yuan, enjoy playing with the vines."
Having said that, the hunchbacked masked man quickly flashed and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already rapidly jumping on the tops of giant trees, sprinting towards the direction where Lin Zichen was.
Yuan Dongzhi panicked at the sight.
A genius of Lin Zichen's caliber must not be taken away by the Divine Plant Cult.
Shan University couldn't bear such a loss.
Neither could humanity bear such a loss.
She decided to go all out!
With a hardened heart, Yuan Dongzhi sacrificed some of her essence blood to feed the Exotic Beast Gene within her body.
The next moment, the veins on her forehead bulged, her eyes were bloodshot, and the dragon horns on her head doubled in size, instantly raising her mental strength to an extremely terrifying level.
Then, with a single thought, she pulled the seawater from nearly a kilometer away, instantly drawing a massive wave that blotted out the sky towards the forest at great speed.
She intended to fill the lush forest beneath her feet with seawater, turning the forest's away ground into a home ground of the sea!
"Boom—"
The terrifying wave swept through the entire forest.
Everything in its path, except for the hundred-meter-tall giant trees, was knocked down, swallowed by the surging enormous volume of seawater.
The once dense forest instantly became part of a vast ocean.
With the sea's nourishment,
Yuan Dongzhi's strength surged to unprecedented heights.
Suddenly, her eyes focused, and in the next second, a hundred-meter-long dragon materialized on the water's surface.
Accompanied by faint dragon roars,
The huge sea water dragon pursued the hunchbacked masked man with incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, the dragon caught up with the hunchbacked masked man, knocking him down from the treetop with one swoop, crashing him into the water below.
"Splash—"
A sound of emerging from water was heard.
The hunchbacked masked man, completely drenched, shot out from under the water, landing on a hundred-meter-tall giant tree.
As he looked at Yuan Dongzhi, noticing that her dragon horns had grown significantly larger, he was about to say something, but before he could make a sound, he was once again slammed into the water by the dragon.
"Splash—"
The hunchbacked masked man quickly came out of the water again.
But this time, he appeared to be in much more disarray.
Upon surfacing, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, seemingly severely injured internally.
"You actually sacrificed your own essence blood, are you mad!"
The hunchbacked masked man wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, looking somewhat frantic and frustrated.
Yuan Dongzhi didn't respond, continuing to fiercely control the dragon to charge at him.
The hunchbacked masked man tried to dodge, but the dragon was too fast.
Before he could create any distance, it caught up with him in an instant, knocking him headfirst into the water.
Then, it viciously bit him underwater, trying to tear him to shreds alive.
About a dozen seconds passed.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Many blood-colored vines burst forth, striking like lightning towards Yuan Dongzhi in the sky, wrapping around her like jungle pythons.
Yuan Dongzhi immediately erected her dragon scales, trying to cut through these blood-scented vines.
But they would not cut.
She could only leave shallow scratches on them.
"Splash—"
The hunchbacked masked man burst out of the water, his body covered with bloody wounds.
These bleeding injuries were half from being torn by the dragon controlled by Yuan Dongzhi and half from plant sprouts growing out of his flesh, bursting outward.
The hunchbacked masked man also sacrificed his essence blood, feeding his Exotic Beast Gene to summon the eerie blood-red vines.
However, he didn't sacrifice much, just enough to barely exceed Yuan Dongzhi's strength.
It was unrealistic to kill a Rare-level Fighter like Yuan Dongzhi.
