BXBX NOVEL Chapter 244 - 181: True Identity? Modern War Military Theory!
Zheng Cheng looked down, Shi He was not far away in the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, but rather beside him.
To be exact, he was… under his feet!
This Priest, Shi He the Zombie General, actually had earth escape abilities!
“Boom!”
There was an explosion, and the ground beneath Zheng Cheng’s feet suddenly tore apart, a dark blue torso-figure surged out instantly.
Both claws flashed with a mysterious icy light, carrying a massive force towards Zheng Cheng!
And the attack was sinister, it aimed for his lower abdomen.
Too bad, Shi He’s speed was indeed fast, but not faster than Zheng Cheng’s.
With just a lift of his foot, he stomped down viciously in the direction Shi He had emerged from.
“Boom!”
His foot landed directly on Shi He’s shoulder, pushing down the figure that had enthusiastically burst out back into the ground.
Shi He’s half-body was stamped down by Zheng Cheng with even greater speed.
With one foot rolled, Shi He let out a miserable cry.
He was a zombie body, but he could still clearly feel the tremendous pain that came from his shoulder.
Before he could react, another foot of Zheng Cheng stomped down.
Two feet stood on his shoulders, firmly locking him to the ground.
“Ah…!”
He let out another miserable scream, and his two arms were almost disabled by Zheng Cheng.
He immediately put effort, his body rapidly dove to the ground.
He did have the earth escape ability, but not at a high level, only able to dive into the ground one or two meters.
But it was enough to sneak attack other professionists.
“Damn it… So powerful, what on earth is Zheng Cheng…”
Shi He, one meter underground, was only grateful that Zheng Cheng was not a mage nor a warlock, who could cast the steel ground spell, otherwise…
Zheng Cheng was indeed not a mage, but what Shi He didn’t expect was that Zheng Cheng, once again, lifted his right foot as Shi He dived under and stomped down fiercely!
“Boom…!”
The whole villa, within a hundred meters range, seemed to have suffered an earthquake. The house shook, students who were not prepared at a distance were scattered around, and some even fell to the ground.
Starting from the center under Zheng Cheng’s foot, visible cracks appeared within several tens of meters range.
In the middle, it was a big pit.
The battered lead character, Shi He, was lying exactly in the center of the pit, covered in blood, and his upper body twisted in agony.
Despite this, he was not dead nor fainted.
He was just horrified and gaped at Zheng Cheng, who stood high above him and said subconsciously, “How… How is it possible! What profession are you…”
“Whoosh…!”
The students who were watching were shocked as well, they simply couldn’t believe their eyes!
Shi He, a seven-star professionist, who also had an advantage of skills against Zheng Cheng, the Zombie General, had lost so quickly?
Of course, Zheng Cheng being the top scorer of Qinzhou Province must have exceptional skills.
But they couldn’t imagine that Zheng Cheng could easily defeat Shi He!
Without even getting out of breath!
“Lost… Lost? Did Shi He lose so soon?”
“It’s not real… Zheng Cheng is just a three-star Priest, how could he defeat a seven-star Zombie General so quickly?”
“Unless… he is a nine-star Divine Battle Priest!”
“I think so too… Rumor has it that Divine Battle Priests are both spiritual and strength-based professionists, who can draw strength from each battle, growing stronger with each fight! In large-scale wars with over ten thousand people, they can absorb the intent of everyone and transform it into their power!”
“What the… Divine Battle Priest! I have read about it in the library, it’s a nine-star profession that has only appeared once since the catastrophe!”
“Too terrifying…”
In the corner of the crowd, Dongfang Yang was also staring at Zheng Cheng, “A nine-star… Divine Battle Priest?”
“Maybe that’s the only reason that explains why Zheng Cheng is so powerful!”
“That’s impossible for a mere three-star Priest!”
Hearing the crowd’s comments, Zheng Cheng’s eyes slightly moved.
He seemed to have heard of this profession from Zhao Yunxiao.
Unfortunately, he did not fully understand the specifics.
But now, he had more important matters to solve.
He looked down at Shi He, who lay paralyzed in the pit, and said calmly: “Shi He, do you admit defeat?”
“Admit defeat?”
Shi He responded with a question, turned his head and glanced at Dongfang Yang in the crowd, gritted his teeth and said: “How is that possible!”
“I’m the immortal zombie… This injury to me, is like a tickle!”
“Roar!”
He let out a fierce roar, his hands hit the ground, and his entire body jerked up.
At the same time, he turned his hand over, two bottles of bloody red liquid appeared in his hand.
It was… high-quality magic beast blood!
As a professionist from the zombie race, he could gain power by sucking the fresh blood.
The higher the quality of the blood, the higher his own strength could rise!
And he had in his hand, two bottles of blood essence, was from the deep-sea monster, toxic blood octopus.
Once consumed, he could obtain tremendous power instantly.
“Zheng Cheng, I absolutely won’t lose…!”
With a loud shout, he applied some force and the two glass tubes burst at once.
The crimson red fresh blood surged from the air, and he opened his mouth to inhale, instantly transforming the two balls of blood into two blood dragons, all rushing into his mouth.
“Ha….!”
He growled excitedly, for every time he drank different blood, he could feel an inexplicable pleasure.
Since he had become a vampire and lost any sensation, especially the pleasure that came with his manhood, his entire life was dark!
Only when he feeds, he could re-experience…the sensation!
In his daze, he saw Zheng Cheng stretching out his wand towards him and burst into a cold laugh in his heart.
“Heh heh heh…You still wish to resist?”
“It’s too late…”
“As long as I absorb these fresh blood, I will personally…”
“Boom!”
A muffled noise suddenly echoed in Shi He’s ears, who was lost in the ecstasy of feeding. Simultaneously, exclamations of surprise came from his classmates nearby.
The next moment, his vision was engulfed by a surge of blazing flames!
The flames appeared all of a sudden, taking him by surprise.
Especially when the flames ignited from the fresh blood he was absorbing, he was left with no time to respond.
What’s more, the flames spread through the blood he was feeding on into his mouth, throat, oesophagus, and stomach….!
His ‘entire body’, was set on fire!
“Ah…!”
Another scream of agony resounded as his head slumped to the ground, his body writhed painfully.
This time, the students around were even more excited.
“Holy crap! Fire? How did Zheng Cheng manage to control fire?”
“This is Divine Punishment Fire! An ability of war priests, which can invoke the wrath of God from the void and burn the enemy!”
“Zheng Cheng is definitely a nine-star war priest! Damn him for pretending to be a three-star ordinary priest, he’s so sly!”
“War priest… Now Zheng Cheng truly deserves to compete for one of the top ten potential in the freshman year!”
Witnessing Shi He’s body engulfed in flames and writhing on the floor, Dongfang Yang cursed under his breath and walked away.
“Brother Yang, are we leaving now?”
One of his followers asked in surprise, they couldn’t believe Dongfang Yang just walked away like that.
Dongfang Yang furrowed his brows, “What a waste…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he stopped and bit his lip, “I have something to take care of, take Shi He back later.”
“Uh…okay.”
With wide eyes, they watched Dongfang Yang leave, helplessness, and pondering filled their expressions.
Is Dongfang Yang… worthy of their follow?
If he can abandon Shi He now…what about the future?
On the platform, Teacher Bai immediately announced, “The winner of this match is Zheng Cheng, he retains his S-level status!”
“Quick…quick, put out the fire for Shi He!”
A few mages possessing water-attribute skills bravely stepped forward to extinguish the fire, only to see Zheng Cheng reach out his hand towards Shi He and make a catch.
The raging fire immediately dissipated, leaving only capricious waves of heat.
A silhouette lay on the ground, Shi He gasping for breath, his breath labored.
This show of fire controlling technique impressive many, even catching the eye of Teacher Bai nearby.
Ordinary fire mages could only ignite fires, their technique quite crude.
A young person like Zheng Cheng who could control his own fire so effortlessly was extremely rare.
A few of Shi He’s peers helped him stand up, and without uttering a harsh word, vanished pathetically.
“Zheng Cheng, isn’t it? You did well.”
Teacher Bai came over and said solemnly, “Let me introduce myself, my name is Bai Bin. I am a teacher in the Auxiliary College and also substitute teach the Modern War Military Theory elective.”
“Zheng Cheng, your job is a priest, right? You will find my class in your elective options, and I hope I would see you in class the next time it is offered.”
“‘Modern War Military Theory’?” Zheng Cheng asked curiously: “Is there such a course?”
“Of course.”
Teacher Bai Bin laughed, “This elective, particularly for those in the auxiliary occupation, is practically a required course.”
“It covers how professionalists integrated into mechanized warfare after the Great Catastrophe. Specifically, it cultivates the knowledge of military strategies and battlefield counselors.”
“After all, auxiliary occupations have always participated in frontline battles with no time to understand the trends of the battlefield or command the war.”
“In that case, the importance of auxiliary professionals comes into play.”
Bai Bin continued to explain, “You can take advantage of the minimal rest time during help, quickly discern the situation of the war in the shortest time, and make the most suitable strategies for your team and teammates according to the current war conditions. In this way, you can lead your team to defeat the enemy and lead the way to victory.”
“Understand what I mean?”
Zheng Cheng nodded, “Thank you, Teacher Bai. ‘Modern War Military Theory’ elective course, I understand.”
“Great, then I’ll be expecting you.”
As Yao Zhixue and others approached, Teacher Bai Bin gave an apologetic smile, nodded, and walked away, “Take leave.”
“Goodbye, Teacher Bai.”
Watching the retreating figure of Teacher Bai Bin, Zheng Cheng quietly nodded his head.
“‘Modern War Military Theory’ is just an elective course? I wonder what main course I have chosen in the Auxiliary College.”
Zheng Cheng, being a priest, of course, had the Auxiliary College as his first choice.
Of course, you can choose to modify your choice during the learning process, everything depends on your abilities and academic performance.
“Brother Cheng!”
Chicken gleefully ran over, exclaiming loudly, “I knew Brother Cheng would win, hahaha…”
Zheng Cheng turned to Zhao Zhemei who came after and asked, “Senior, do you know what is the occupation of a war priest?”
