Chapter 53 - I Heard You're Good at Control?
"You, you! To be instantly killed by a Level 19 Mage? You've completely disgraced my old face!"
A big and burly PE teacher slapped his own old face, his expression full of anger.
Pointing at the just-recovered Leng Sheng, he let out a torrent of curses.
Facing the PE teacher's severe reprimand, Leng Sheng knelt on the ground like a little wife, his hands on his knees.
He lowered his head, a look of extreme shame on his face.
"Sigh~ I'm so angry!"
The PE teacher took two sips of water and laid down on the sofa, panting.
He glanced sideways at Leng Sheng, his tone cold as he continued.
"As a punishment for your failure, I’ve decided to give you a seven-day holiday.
If you dare to step into the school for these seven days, I'll break your dog legs!"
Hearing this, Leng Sheng's tiger-like body trembled.
He immediately scrambled over, hugged the PE teacher's strong thigh, and pleaded tearfully.
"No! Don't, teacher! I’ll die if I don't study for seven days! I beg you to punish me in another way. Please don't give me a holiday!"
The competition at Skyforge Academy was no less than that at Kaiyang Academy.
Not going to school for seven days, and not being able to participate in practical combat as a result, would make his combat power index drop by at least a few hundred points.
His ranking would plummet. At that time, not only would his best friend despise him…
Even the dogs he once raised would ride on his head to pee, humiliating him severely!
"Heh! Complaining again, and I'll directly approve a one-month holiday for you!"
Hearing this, Leng Sheng's face turned ashen. He felt like the sky was falling.
Despair!
Unprecedented despair!
...
Another competition zone.
Meng Li put one hand on her chest and took a deep breath.
Only then did she open her eyes, put on her big cat-eared hoodie, and walk straight towards the arena.
Honestly, she was more nervous than any other participant right now.
After all, she carried the identity of a Demi-human.
[Ding! Zone B Selection Round Match 1, Kaiyang Academy: Meng Li VS White Feather Academy: Zhang Tingting]
With the entry of the two students, the referee held a microphone and announced with a deep voice from the side.
At the same time, the central electronic large screen displayed their information.

"Hiss~ This Zhang Tingting’s very famous. I heard that she was a student from the last Special Grade Class. SS-Rank class 'Heavenly Attraction Warlock,' with a Spirit of up to 128 points. They say that she can control people to death directly.
She can be said to be the absolute nemesis of Warriors and Tanks!"
"Place bets, place bets! Zhang Tingting is a dark horse who can make it to the top ten. I must bet on her!"
Players of the Control Path were undoubtedly the most dominant in duels.
As long as you were hit by one of their skills, you would be controlled to death by them next.
Only Assassins or Mages, with high speed and long range, respectively, could contend with them.
"Eh? Don't you guys think this Meng Li from Kaiyang Academy is a bit short?"
"Holy crap, she couldn't be a minor, could she!?"
As the focus shifted, the audience discussed spiritedly.
And Meng Li on the arena at this time, also took off her hoodie, revealing her white fluffy cat ears and tail.
Seeing this, the audience, the referee, and even Zhang Tingting opposite her were all slightly stunned.
Immediately after, the crowd exploded.
"No! A Demi-human can also participate?"
"Is Kaiyang Academy out of people?"
As expected, there were still many voices questioning the Demi-human.
"Meng Li, oh Meng Li, don't mind the voices outside. Just be yourself."
Meng Li gently patted her small chest, stabilizing her emotions.
She had long anticipated this, so she didn't care about the people’s reactions at all.
However...
"Hey! Shorty, does your Agent have some special fetish? It must have cost a lot of money to send you up here. I guess... he's a lolicon scumbag, huh?"
Zhang Tingting scanned Meng Li with a disdainful expression, her eyes full of arrogance and contempt for the Agent behind Meng Li.
Hearing these words, Meng Li's small eyebrows instantly furrowed.
"Mr. Agent isn’t that kind of person!"
She could accept people talking about her, but she couldn't accept someone criticizing Ye Mo!
"Heh!"
Seeing that Meng Li was moved, Zhang Tingting revealed a triumphant smile.
Enraging the opponent on the field and making them lose their reason was her combat style.
"Looks like I was right! But... to be interested in a flat-chested girl like you… He probably hasn't eaten any big fish or meat.
How about... lending your Agent to me to play with for a few days? I guarantee I'll make him forget to return to you, unable to stop!
At that time, a piece of goods like you will just be kicked away by him."
Zhang Tingting taunted with a green-tea bitch-like coquettish laugh, continuing to pile rage on Meng Li.
"Ghost Shadow Slash!"
Bang!
The moment the countdown on the big screen ended, Meng Li's body had already rushed out!
"Such speed!"
Zhang Tingting looked astonished, but she immediately revealed a triumphant smile.
The actions of a person in a state of anger were very easy to predict.
"Earthen Thorns!"
She immediately waved her big hand, skill unleashed!
In an instant, two vines rose from the ground, wrapping around Meng Li's ankles!
Rip!
However, just as these vines were about to touch Meng Li…
A stream of purple-black mysterious airflow erupted from around Meng Li's body, directly repelling these vines.
"What?"
Zhang Tingting looked surprised, but her reaction was extremely fast.
While hurriedly retreating to pull away, she waved her hand again!
"Gravity Pull!"
Another skill erupted once more.
A pitch-black sphere with a diameter of about three meters instantly blocked Meng Li’s path.
A terrifying pulling force erupted from around the pitch-black sphere, continuously expanding like a small black hole!
Tiles flew, mud scattered, and everything around was pulled into the pitch-black sphere.
Even the void distorted visibly to the naked eye!
"Still not retreating? Then she's done for!"
Watching Meng Li's unhesitating steps, the corners of Zhang Tingting's mouth rose, revealing an arrogant, cold smile.
Clack!
However, in the next second…
Meng Li directly ignored the small black hole, swung her heavy and scary greatsword, and ran straight past it.
At a distance of only a dozen meters from Zhang Tingting, she directly made a big jump.
Her petite body turned into a stream of light and swept across fiercely!
'Are you kidding me!?'
Zhang Tingting's pupils constricted abruptly, and the bracelet on her wrist flashed.
"Pseudo-Flash!"
A one-time equipment blessing skill was triggered, and Zhang Tingting's figure instantly disappeared from the spot.
Bang!
At the same time, the petite body smashed down like a heavy hammer!
The ground cracked in an instant, and rubble flew everywhere.
"Is this girl hacking!? Why don't my skills work on her?"
Zhang Tingting's brow furrowed tightly.
She looked at her previous position with lingering fear and swallowed her saliva subconsciously.
Raising her hand, she continuously shot several fireballs, smashing them towards Meng Li.
She was trying to use this to delay and restrain the latter’s steps.
However, facing the attack of these seven or eight fireballs, Meng Li didn't even blink.
"Ghost Shadow Step!"
Her body turned ethereal, the fireballs passed through her, and she flash-stepped directly in front of Zhang Tingting.
"Is this girl a ghost?"
Zhang Tingting had a bad premonition. Like a panicked rabbit, she subconsciously wanted to escape.
But immediately after, she felt a strong sense of suffocation.
Meng Li took the opportunity to reach out and grab Zhang Tingting's fair, tender neck.
Directly putting her in a chokehold before throwing her down!
Bang!
The floor instantly cracked in a spiderweb pattern.
Zhang Tingting suffered a heavy blow, spitting out a large mouthful of blood as she struggled to get up and dodge.
But Meng Li directly rode on her, going for a small combo!
Her small fists, like a violent storm, smashed heavily on Zhang Tingting's body.
Bang bang bang!
The ground caved in, and rubble flew everywhere!
"I... I surr..."
Zhang Tingting wanted to surrender, but Meng Li covered her mouth with one hand.
The force in her hand became more intense and fierce!
Meng Li beat Zhang Tingting until she whimpered and sobbed, her face bruised and swollen.
"If you want to surrender, then apologize to Mr. Agent!"
Meng Li stared with her bright large eyes as she threatened her opponent fiercely yet cutely.
"Mmh mmh mmh mmh mmh!"
Zhang Tingting nodded frantically with teary eyes while whimpering.
Watching this scene, everyone present was completely dumbfounded, the whole venue silent.
——————————————————
T/N - Damn, that’s brutal. Honestly, Zhang Tingting has the right idea, it’s just that she got hard countered by Meng Li’s control immunity and super armor.
E/N: She had it coming lol. Don’t provoke what you can’t dish out.
