Chapter 47 - Chapter 47 0-0! Just the tip of the iceberg?

Bang!!!!

The Nether Vein Wolf's massive body was sent flying dozens of meters away by a single punch.

Lu Zhenghe, who was riding on the wolf's back, also rolled several times before stopping.

Lu Zhenghe looked horrified, his eyes filled with disbelief as he stared in Cheng Xiao's direction.

Was that a standing giant ant?!

The moment that Undead attacked, he sensed it too. It was also War General Level, and a Great War General at that!

Just one punch completely incapacitated the Nether Vein Wolf.

"A second Great War General?!" Mu Ningxue couldn't help but be distracted and look towards Cheng Xiao's direction.

Corps Commander Bell let out strange "ya ya" cries from its mouth, which seemed to include some kind of mental attack.

If it was just one Great War General, she could barely hold it off.

But with this second Great War General, how could the Imperial Capital Academy possibly contend?

Rely on the Nether Vein Wolf that was crippled by a single punch?

Or Xiao Feng and Ming Cong, who couldn't even handle ten advancing Servant-level Undead?

As the pride of the Imperial Capital Academy, Mu Ningxue was an almost invincible existence at the same level.

Although her appearance was usually cold and she acted like she didn't care about anything, it was impossible to say she didn't have a competitive spirit and pride.

Since she had personally led the team and taken action, even if she lost, it should be a defeat in a evenly matched battle.

Not this kind of situation, where there was almost no chance of winning, being completely overwhelmed!

And the one overwhelming her was even Cheng Xiao, who she had heard failed his awakening years ago!

The huge sense of disparity made it difficult for Mu Ningxue to accept for a moment.

"A second Great War General Level Undead! Isn't Mingzhu Academy's cheat a bit too big? There's absolutely no chance!"

"I estimate that even our six Academies plus the Imperial Capital Academy wouldn't be enough for that Captain from Mingzhu Academy. What kind of monster is this?"

"You really can't blame the Imperial Capital Academy for being weak. A genius ice mage and a War General Level contracted beast... If it were us, we'd probably lose even faster."

"It's still a situation where one person is overwhelming the entire team. Where did this god come from? He's completely not on our level!"

...

Cheng Xiao's performance shocked the six Academies in the spectator stands.

It was still one person fighting a team, still the familiar overwhelming victory!

Whether it was Cheng Xiao's Space Element in the first match or his Undead Element in the second match, he was basically unstoppable.

And these two just happened to appear on one person.

On Mingzhu Academy's side, Luo Song couldn't help but say:

"That ant has become even stronger."

As the first person to be dominated by Bell's fear, Luo Song felt it deeply.

"Cheng Ge is always invincible by himself. It feels like we're a bit redundant coming here," Mo Fan said with a helpless expression.

The teammates around him nodded in agreement.

Everyone was a witness to Cheng Xiao defeating the entire Qing Campus's thousand Intermediate-level mages by himself... Well, including the victims.

Now seeing Cheng Xiao dominate the Imperial Capital Academy, it felt like the most normal thing in the world.

"Cheng Xiao is moving. It looks like he's going to end the match."

"It should have been like this earlier. The opponent is the Imperial Capital Academy after all. Letting the Imperial Capital team stay on stage a bit longer was just to give them some face."

"Didn't the Captain say, friendship first, competition second... Now it's perfectly embodied!"

...

On the competition field.

Cheng Xiao slowly walked forward, reaching the center of the arena and confirming he was within his casting range.

"It's time to end this."

As his words fell, silver light flickered in those deep, dark eyes.

Space Fluctuation—Compression!

Like a powerful field of gravity, everything except the Shadow Soldiers was affected by immense pressure.

Ice locks shattered, ice vines dissipated, rock barriers collapsed... The gravity compression of this spatial force was completely on par with the destructive power of a Great War General!

If the strength of the two Corps Commanders, showcased as Great War General Level, pushed the Imperial Capital Academy to the brink of despair.

Then the spatial force that Cheng Xiao displayed at the end was the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"We surrender!" Mu Ningxue knew she was no match, and spoke with a tone full of unwillingness.

The Captain speaking naturally represented the end of the match!

"Mingzhu Academy wins two consecutive matches and is the winner of this competition!" the referee announced.

Strangely, there were no cheers of celebration from the Mingzhu Academy side, who had zeroed out the Imperial Capital Academy.

The six Academies watching also had no surprise at this result.

There was only awe and shock towards Cheng Xiao.

"Is this your full strength?"

Mu Ningxue looked at Cheng Xiao, her beautiful ice-like eyes filled with complexity and unwillingness.

"Sort of," Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"Sort of"... Mu Ningxue's red lips parted slightly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing the reaction from Mingzhu Academy's side earlier, Mu Ningxue had a vague feeling that Cheng Xiao hadn't used his full strength yet.

Hearing Cheng Xiao's answer, Mu Ningxue was even more certain of her guess.

The strength Cheng Xiao was currently displaying might just be the tip of the iceberg.

But this tip of the iceberg was enough to completely overwhelm her, the pride of the Imperial Capital Academy!

The huge sense of disparity, mixed with childhood emotions.

Original text is being read!

Made Mu Ningxue both happy for Cheng Xiao and bitter about her own failure.

Mu Ningxue hesitated for a moment, then smiled with a look of relief:

"Congratulations, you've completely transformed."

"And you? Are you still bound by shackles?" Cheng Xiao asked in return.

Mu Ningxue was startled. She naturally knew what the 'shackles' in Cheng Xiao's words meant.

In response, she just smiled helplessly and didn't reply.

......

After the match ended, Cheng Xiao came off the stage, and his teammates' reactions were unusually calm.

They all complained about whether he was being too excessive and if they could go up and play for a bit.

Facing the Imperial Capital Academy, which they had been suppressed by for years, this group of students had no psychological pressure at all because of Cheng Xiao's existence.

Teacher Gu Han felt concerned:

"Cheng Xiao is too invincible... Is that not good? These little brats don't have any sense of urgency."

However, it didn't really matter, after all, they were all excellent students from his own Academy.

Cheng Xiao selectively ignored the flattery from little fans like Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, found Mu Nujiao, and asked with a smile:

"How was my performance?"

Mu Nujiao looked a bit unnatural and asked in a low voice:

"Why... are you specifically asking me?"

"What do you think?" Cheng Xiao asked back.

"Very, very handsome!"

Mu Nujiao was like a shy little girl, the kind whose face would turn red if the person she had a crush on made a slightly ambiguous move towards her.

Even though she had already done *that* with Cheng Xiao, Mu Nujiao would still blush and feel shy like before.

Therefore, between the two of them, Cheng Xiao was always the proactive one in everything.

"No reaction?" Cheng Xiao deliberately leaned closer and asked with a smile.

Looking at those deep, dark eyes, two inexplicable blushes appeared on Mu Nujiao's face.

So, so close... Mu Nujiao's breathing became heavier, her voice as thin as a mosquito's buzz:

"Well, well, at least wait until tonight, right?"

"The reaction I want is this." Cheng Xiao lightly kissed her cheek:

"Were you thinking something bad just now?"

Mu Nujiao's face turned even redder:

"No, I wasn't!"

While she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she also felt a little disappointed.
