Astral Apostle

Chapter 240: Arena (3)

Zhou Jing could not be sure about the classification.

Just as he was thinking, another person went on stage. It was a Class B potential Awakened called Chen Gong.

After introducing himself, Chen Gong did not attack. Instead, he raised his hand to Wang Wu and asked.

“I want to ask, can I use firearms during the spar?”

Everyone in the stands was slightly stunned when they heard his words.

Wang Wu however did not find it strange and nodded. “Sure, but the premise is that your ability is related to firearms.”

Chen Gong smiled. Suddenly, his body swayed, and one person instantly split into seven. They all had the same appearance, as if they were clones.

“My ability is a physical clone. I can share vision and also increase my reaction speed and meticulous operation. After I awakened, I’ve been practicing the tactical cooperation of my clones, including the shooting part of firearms. I have a good gun sense, so if I can’t use firearms, it will be difficult for me to unleash my combat strength.”

The seven Chen Gongs spoke in unison.

Wang Wu looked at him with interest and nodded, “In that case, I’ll allow you to use firearms, but only ordinary firearms. Electromagnetic weapons and energy weapons can’t be used, and you can only use pistols. The bullets are also specially made blanks.”

...

“No problem.” The seven Chen Gongs nodded.

Wang Wu instructed the staff to get the guns. Soon, someone brought over a few gun boxes. Inside were black military-style pistols and many magazines.

The seven Chen Gongs each took out two guns and put them in a holster under their ribs. They also put on bullet belts. Each of them was equipped with eight full clips and had extendable guard sticks hanging at their waists, like a tactical team.

Not long after, Chen Gong was ready. Under Wang Wu’s instructions, the seven clones stood in front of Huang Wei, each holding a gun.

Being stared at by seven identical burly men, Huang Wei swallowed secretly, feeling flustered.

Wang Wu looked at both sides and suddenly waved his palm.

“Begin!”

Swish!

Without another word, Huang Wei attacked first. She swung the whip with both hands towards the seven people in front of her.

Chen Gong immediately reacted. His seven clones dodged and begin firing back.

With a series of gunshots, a storm of bullets rained down.

“How shameless!”

Huang Wei screamed in her heart and quickly ran, increasing the output of the energy armor to protect her body.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Amidst the dense sounds of collision, bullets ricocheted everywhere.

All the bullets were deflected by Huang Wei’s energy armor, but the energy armor was also flickering and consumed a lot of energy.

Chen Gong’s seven bodies split up from the beginning, not approaching Huang Wei at all. They suppressed her from all directions.

Huang Wei had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure the rain of bullets. She lashed out at the clones from afar, but they were all easily dodged.

The two of them fought happily for a moment, and the entire scene was filled with the sounds of gunshots and the sonic booms from the light whips.

Chen Gong’s tactical movements were quite methodical. Clearly, he had been training hard. Compared to other Awakened who only used their abilities to fight each other, he could be considered to know how to fight. He was quite decent and was not that bad in actual combat.

Huang Wei, on the other hand, was a typical Awakened who lacked combat experience. Facing such a troublesome situation, she was quickly at a loss.

Her superpower was clearly stronger, but she did not know how to use it to break through the situation. After a while, she could not withstand it anymore. Her energy armor was broken, and she was shot a few times before falling to the ground. Although it was a specially made blank bullet, it still hurt when it hit her body.

Seeing this, Chen Gong stopped firing. The seven of them spoke out in unison,

“Sorry, you lost.”

Huang Wei rubbed her sore spot and stood up. She glared at Chen Gong before walking down the stage, her face filled with unwillingness.

The hundreds of spectators in the stands immediately became restless. Many of them were surprised that Huang Wei, a Class A, had lost to a Class B.

“She actually lost?” Xu Lingyun was surprised.

Zhou Jing shook his head and explained,

“It’s not strange. The potential evaluation level is only to evaluate the basic power of a superpower and the potential to predict the future development. It’s not used to determine the overall combat strength. Only the ability evaluation of a Super from Rank 1 to Rank 7 is the judgment of a Super’s overall combat strength.

Of course, those with high potential have the advantage, but if they don’t use it well, they will still be defeated by those with low potential. Moreover, some abilities with low potential have good combat strength. The one on the stage who can clone is this type.”

“Do you think I don’t know?” Xu Lingyun rolled his eyes and muttered, “I’m just wondering if there’s anyone here who can defeat Sister Yin.”

Zhou Jing paused for a moment. Thinking of Li Xiaoyin’s exaggerated destructive power, he said with uncertainty, “Uh, I don’t think so…”

At this moment, Chen Gong waved at everyone in the arena and issued a challenge.

“Which friend wants to come up and spar with me?”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Although Chen Gong’s potential was not high, his combat strength was considerable. The seven clones had the advantage in numbers and even used firearms to suppress his opponent from afar. This was not easy to deal with.

Many of the Class A Awakened also revealed troubled and hesitant expressions.

“Hey, isn’t anyone going to teach him a lesson? I’ll go then.”

Seeing that no one responded, Li Xiaoyin immediately rolled up her sleeves and was about to go on stage.

At this moment, Zhou Jing pressed down on her shoulder and looked at the seven Chen Gongs on the stage with interest.

“Sit down. I’ll go play.”

With that, he jumped out of the exit on the side of the stands without waiting for a reply.

Pang!!

With a sharp cracking sound, Zhou Jing launched out from his seat onto the arena.

Everyone’s eyes immediately focused on him as they whispered to each other curiously.

“Who is this person? Is he powerful?”

“I think it’s from West Sea City.”

Seeing this, the seven Chen Gongs looked at Zhou Jing and sized him up.

“How should I address you? What potential?”

Zhou Jing twisted his neck and moved his limbs, revealing a toothy smile.

“Class C Potential, Zhou Jing.”
