Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Luke Hearne, Control!
The rotund, round figure of the giant panda appeared, and the venue instantly resounded with exclamations.
It’s no wonder, the giant panda, due to its rarity, had long been a key protected species in Cathay. Among the Demon Clan, intelligent Panda Demons are equally rare.
It is said that according to the Mystic Regulation Office’s records, there are only five registered Panda Demons, among which, Hill is the only one not yet mature.
In other words, Hill is one of a kind in the entire Academy of Mystique.
Plus, influenced by the concept of “national treasure,” many Imp Sprites subconsciously regard Hill as a rare being.
This also explains why Hill doesn’t like to enhance his demonic power and often tries to muddle through by showing his face.
This time, by transforming into his true form right away, Hill was playing the same tactic.
No matter if it’s a demon or a human, seeing his true form, they would instinctively go easy on him.
After all, his demon parents often told him that Panda Demons are precious; if he ever got hurt, they’d complain to the Security Bureau.
As long as he surrendered himself to the state, the state would stand up for them.
With vigor and confidence, Hill charged towards the opposite Luke Hearne.
Luke Hearne stood his ground, watching with amusement as the other charged with bared fangs and claws, and then calmly, his demonic power released.
Two Fox Tails unfurled behind him and drew bows left and right simultaneously.
Just as Hill got close, he was brutally swatted away by the two Fox Tails.
A round of astonished gasps echoed around.
Hill’s rotund body rolled across the field two times before finally halting. He raised his eyes to look across,
Luke Hearne raised an eyebrow,
“This is a sparring match, of course, it’s a real fight. If you don’t want to get hit, quickly admit defeat and step down!”
Meeting Luke Hearne’s obviously serious gaze, Hill’s chubby body shivered and he instinctively thought of conceding.
However, a glimpse of Scarlett Jennings holding a large bamboo shoot carelessly made him waver disgracefully.
The bamboo shoot emitted a delightful aroma.
Even more tempting than the bamboo shoot tips he had unearthed during the first spring rain atop Mount Bu Zhou with his demon dad back in the day.
He used to always manage to get what he wanted by showing his face.
But this Scarlett Jennings…
She showed no mercy towards pandas.
A skunk would release a stink accumulated over a hundred years without a second thought. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
This is a ruthless woman; you can’t rely on cuteness with her.
To get the golden bamboo shoot, he could only rely on himself.
With this thought, Hill’s eyes immediately showed determination.
His demon parents said that although the Panda Clan might appear cute, they have more than just adorable looks.
People often overlook the powerful combat strength they truly possess because of their appearance.
They were once the war mounts of the Warlord!
When he gets serious, you better watch out!
Scarlett Jennings had originally noticed Hill slacking on the field, so she intentionally used the Golden Light Talisman stored on the bamboo shoot to draw out his demonic power.
After all, this was a selection, and no Imp Sprite’s demon energy should be overlooked.
Especially as Panda Demons are unique in the entire Academy of Mystique.
Yet unexpectedly, her casual action really caught a “fish that caught the net.”
Seeing Hill’s demon energy shift again, the entire panda agilely dodged Luke Hearne’s Fox Tail attacks, and within a few exchanges, he actually closed in on Luke Hearne.
The panda paw struck him fiercely.
Luke Hearne dodged just in time.
Yet a noticeable crack appeared on the ground where Hill’s paw landed.
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but show a bit of surprise.
Hill attacked Luke Hearne once more.
This time, Luke Hearne wasn’t careless; he transformed into another tail, and three tails attacked Hill’s main body in unison.
This time, Hill didn’t dodge; instead, his panda paws swiftly swung, surprisingly swatting away the three tails before he charged at Luke Hearne again.
Perhaps he got too engaged in battle, Hill’s demonic power climbed higher and higher, and it was at this moment that Scarlett Jennings faintly noticed a trace of black contamination in his surrounding demon energy.
With narrowed almond eyes, Scarlett Jennings immediately signaled the Mystic Regulation Office personnel outside the ring through the earpiece,
“Ring three, number seven, Hill, forced…”
Before she could finish, a sudden change occurred on the field, causing Scarlett Jennings to pause and hurriedly say, “Wait a minute.”
On the field, as Hill pressed onward, Luke Hearne directly unfurled a fourth tail.
There aren’t many Hearne Family members in the Academy of Mystique, and besides Hannah Hearne, the most gifted is Luke Hearne, who can transform into four tails.
Scarlett Jennings had heard of him but it was her first time seeing his four tails.
What astonished her was that Luke Hearne’s fourth tail was unexpectedly black!
It seemed soaked in a black contamination, with a rich demonic energy more intense than anything she’d seen before.
Seeing him lift his tail to prepare an attack, Scarlett Jennings’ expression changed, and she yelled into the headset regardless of anything else,
“Ring three, number nine, control!”
Almost the instant she issued the command, several Mystic Regulation Office staff on the sidelines moved simultaneously, and Scarlett Jennings also manifested four tails at the same time.
The four tails slapped against the ground behind her, propelling her swiftly in Luke Hearne’s direction.
In a matter of moments, she landed on the stage, just in time to block in front of Hill, shielding him from the heavy strike of the black contaminated Fox Tail.
The contamination was quickly purified upon contact with the demon energy surrounding Scarlett Jennings by the North Spirit Stone on her chest.
Meanwhile, Luke Hearne was subdued by three staff members.
The sudden change on the field caught everyone off guard, and Luke Hearne was visibly angry,
“Why are you grabbing me?! Let go!”
His face was pressed against the ground facing Scarlett Jennings, and seeing her four tails matching his, resentment flashed in his eyes, followed by a fleeting fierce red glint,
“Scarlett Jennings! Did you order them to act?! How dare you act against me?! How dare you…”
So easily, manifest tails identical to mine.
Filled with jealousy, Scarlett Jennings watched his eyes turn scarlet.
The next second, a bizarre outburst of contaminated demonic power erupted from him, flinging the three Mystic Regulation Office staff who were suppressing him away.
From Scarlett Jennings’ perspective, the contaminated black demon energy seemed to transform into countless Demon Poison Needles, indiscriminately shooting inward and outward from the field.
The demons in the field and spectators were caught off guard, feeling a wave of demon energy accompanied by a slight tingling sensation.
Some demons struck by the Demon Poison Needles felt a slight numbness at the impacted area, as if locally poisoned and unable to move.
While others, it was as if some switch flipped.
Their entire beings were quickly contaminated with demonic energy, involuntarily revealing their Demon State, and then, instantly entered a berserk state.
Indiscriminately attacking nearby demons.
In less than a minute, the entire first venue descended into chaos.
