Chapter 64, Rank 64 on the Light List
Chen Hao remained unmoved and said in a low voice, "Now, it's my turn."

The next moment, the bull-horse beast narrowed its eyes, and a blood-red light flashed in its pupils.

With a sudden stomp of its four hooves, the ground exploded into rubble, its massive body resembling a high-speed charging chariot!

"Thump!! Thump!! Thump!! Thump!!"

Each step was accompanied by a violent tremor of the ground, as the blood energy mixed with earth elements, whipping up yellow dust like a tornado.

A savage and violent sense of oppression swept across the entire venue!

The force beneath the hooves was clearly bloodthirsty battle qi.

This is the bloodline skill that the Ox-Horse Beast unlocks after advancing to the level of a Warrior. As it runs, its blood energy bursts out, and each stomp of the ground adds up the impact until it crushes the target like a landslide or tsunami!

Fang Qiyang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately switched elements to construct a light system star map.

"Kuyou! Protect!"

The star map unfolded rapidly in front of him, with seven star trails intertwining and flashing. His casting speed as a mid-level third-tier cultivator was astonishingly fast.

In an instant, a spherical light shield rose from beneath his feet, enveloping him completely from all angles. Pale golden runes flowed across the surface of the shield, with concentric circles of sacred patterns surging, clearly a defensive structure amplified by the spirit seed and the magical artifact.

"boom!!!!"

The next moment, the ground shook, and a savage shock that made one's soul tremble rushed towards them!

The bull-horse beast roared angrily, its front hooves ignited with blood flames, and it raised high like a heavenly hammer before slamming it down!
Boom boom boom——!!

The entire arena seemed to have been trampled by a giant earth beast, with rubble flying and dust billowing! That single blow was enough to crack the rock walls and smash down the city gates!
But just when everyone thought Fang Qiyang was about to be crushed into paper—

The protective sphere of light did not shatter despite the violent tremors!
Buzz - buzz -

The entire sphere of light trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the light barrier, as if it might explode at any moment. But in the end, it still firmly blocked this earth-shattering stomp!
"They actually made it through?"

"That's the protective blessing of the Light-type magical artifact, the Ring of Wishes! How could it be so easily broken by a War General-level demon?"

"This defense... it would take at least a high-level spell to break through it!"

The students watching the battle whispered among themselves, marveling at the spectacle. Meanwhile, within the light screen, Fang Qiyang's face had turned completely pale. He stared intently at Chen Hao and the beast that had shattered the arena, his eyes filled with horror and rage.

He gritted his teeth and sneered, forcing himself to stand up straight: "I told you... this is the main campus, not a place for you to run wild. I can wipe out a beast like this in no time!"

The next moment, he suddenly spread his arms wide, and the fire star map was rapidly constructed!
Seven star trails intertwined, instantly forming a fiery red nine-palace array, like a blazing sun hanging in the sky, oppressive to the heart!

"Blazing Fire Fist - Nine Palaces!!"

With a furious roar, the star map erupted with a monstrous heat wave, and nine blazing fire pillars appeared one after another, distributed in the nine palaces, like a volcanic eruption, their aura scorching, locking onto the figure of the bull-horse beast!

boom! boom! boom!
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and the entire arena seemed to be swallowed by a volcano!

Just when everyone thought the bull-horse beast would be completely swallowed up by the mid-level level three Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces, Chen Hao made his move!

He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and the star map of light unfolded behind him in an instant. The starlight was as bright as day, and seven golden star tracks were like gods drawing straight lines across the sky!

"Starlight! Light! Painted Wall!!"

As Chen Hao shouted, a wall of holy light, like a mural, instantly unfolded from the void, reaching a height of over ten meters. It was as if it were constructed from a sacred stone tablet, with ancient runes engraved on it, and appeared in front of the Nine Palaces of Blazing Fire!
boom--!
The nine pillars of fire struck the Wall of Light almost simultaneously. At that moment, it was as if divine fire had collided with a divine wall. The entire arena trembled violently, and the light and fire intertwined to form a terrifying storm that swallowed the audience's vision!

Yet, amidst the flames, the wall of light remained as immovable as a rock. Although its edges continued to crack and peel away, its core remained steadfast!

The fire finally subsided, and the audience's view was finally restored.

The bull and horse beasts remained standing in the same spot! Chen Hao did not move an inch, and the starlight around him continued to shine!

"Holy crap! A mid-level level 2 is blocking a mid-level level 3? Am I seeing things?"

“That’s normal. Chen Hao’s spirit seed seems to be very strong, while Fang Qiyang’s fire-type spirit seed is a dud. Besides, defensive magic is inherently stronger than offensive magic of the same level.”

"But this star map of the light system is too fast! How strong must his mental power be?"

"Isn't that the summoning major who just transferred from the main campus... Holy crap, is he going to climb the rankings?"

An uproar erupted in the audience. Those who had been watching the play suddenly realized that Chen Hao might be about to take control of Guangyuan.

Fang Qiyang stood there, stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His all-out Level 3 Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces couldn't even break through Chen Hao's Level 2 Light Protection.

"Looks like you've run out of options," Chen Hao said slowly, his tone as calm as still water. "Are you going to surrender, or lie in bed for a month?"

The voice wasn't loud, but it pierced Fang Qiyang's heart like a needle. His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't utter a word; he could only feel the humiliation surging in his heart like a tidal wave.

To be challenged and have one's authority established by a newcomer in front of so many people is something no genius can accept.

But Chen Hao was not surprised at all.

Mid-level mages only have two specializations: primary offensive and secondary offensive, a fixed structure. The Light magic, which is essentially purely defensive before higher ranks, has limited practicality in combat, aside from a few occasionally effective defensive spells and illumination functions.

Someone like Fang Qiyang, who specializes in the Light element, simply doesn't have the qualifications to directly confront a summoner-based playstyle.

He couldn't help but recall Zhao Manyan's shameless fighting style in the original novel.

That guy was practically a tortoise war god. With his defensive magic tools and spells, he could completely drain the magic energy of a mage of the same level, and then take advantage of your depleted mental strength to counterattack and win.

However, that kind of playstyle is basically asking for trouble if you encounter someone with summoned beasts.

Summoned beasts don't rely on magic energy; they grow stronger the longer they fight. No matter how much you can outlast them, you can't outlast an unreasonable savage beast.

"I surrender!"

Finally, amidst silence and humiliation, Fang Qiyang gritted his teeth and squeezed out the words of surrender.

It's better than being seriously injured, right?

A low murmur rippled through the crowd around the arena. Whether it was the students watching from the stands or the instructors recording the proceedings behind the referee's table, everyone looked shocked.

Fang Qiyang, ranked tenth on the main campus's Light Science Department list, has lost.

He was defeated by a freshman who had just arrived, and he couldn't even force the opponent to reveal much of his true strength!
"He only used light magic and one summoned beast..."

"It is said that his own fighting strength is even stronger than that of the warrior oxen and horses..."

"The Light System is about to change."

Chen Hao glanced at Fang Qiyang indifferently and said nothing more. His back as he turned and left the stage was calm, unlike someone who had just won a battle on the main campus rankings.

The bull-horse beast slowly walked back to the summoning plane, the spatial rift closed, and the arena finally returned to calm.

But the storm offstage has only just begun.
