Chapter 129 - Robbery, 60 Times Gravity
"If you know what's best for you, hand over your entire haul immediately! Otherwise, I'll go on a rampage!"
The brash words echoed as Christina and the other four were stunned. "Ling Jiu, what do you mean?"
"You don't understand what I just said? Did you sleep through your Mandarin class?"
Ling Jiu buried his head in his hands and said, "I mean the very meaning of the word I said. Robbery, understand? Rob-be-ry!"
"Robbery!"
"You want to rob us?"
Christina was taken aback for a moment. Then, as if she had heard the funniest joke ever, she snorted and said, "You... want to rob us?
"Ling Jiu, you are too arrogant!"
Hirano Hatake stepped forth with a cold gaze. "I admit your ability to hunt Direbeasts is stronger than ours, but one-on-one, I don't think I'm any weaker than you!"
"Feel free to try then!"
Edna sneered, "I'm just afraid that not only will you get nothing for your troubles, but you will lose everything in the end!"
"What are you doing talking nonsense with him? Since he wants to rob us, let him. I want to see how he plans on doing that." Janet spat sarcastically with a scowl.
With the five joining forces, they were not afraid of Ling Jiu. That was the confidence they had as the Top 10 trainees!
"Brother, let's go!"
Yang Ling'er whispered, "They are all Top 10 ace trainees, you are taking too big of a risk!"
"Ling Jiu, forget it!" Ai Yuhe also said.
"We'll hand whatever we have hunted to you, and it shouldn't be a problem for you to continue taking first place. What's the deal with robbing them?"
"These five have been a little too arrogant for my liking, and they have been a real eyesore for a while now!"
Ling Jiu waved his hand and impatiently said, "Since you guys won't hand everything over peacefully, don't blame me for what's about to happen!"
"How arrogant!"
"Egotistical!"
"Ridiculous!"
"Come if you dare!"
The five sneered continuously, but the next moment, their expression changed instantly...
"I can't move?"
"What's going on?"
"Move, damn it!"
The expression of the five changed drastically as they struggled with all their might.
In the end, they discovered that while they could move, they seemed to be in a deep quagmire. Movement was extremely difficult, and even breathing became extremely laborious.
"Is this gravity?"
Christina panicked.
"No! This is not gravity! This is the lockdown force of an Arcana Field!"
Hirano Hatake stared at Ling Jiu. "You've become a Level 6 Arcanist?"
"Arcana Field?"
"Level 6 Arcanist?"
The expressions of the other four changed dramatically as they looked at Ling Jiu in horror.
Their boldness in provoking Ling Jiu earlier was based on the idea that he was a Level 5 Arcanist. If they had known he was now a Level 6 Arcanist, they would not have dared to provoke him even if they had titanium guts!
A Level 6 Arcanist was definitely not someone a Level 5 Arcanist could contend with!
"You're quite knowledgeable I see!"
Ling Jiu flicked his fingers. "I'll give you one last chance, hand over your entire haul, or else... Hmph!"
"Ling Jiu, you cannot do this!" Christina growled.
"Fighting is forbidden on camp grounds. Going on a rampage here means that you are breaking camp rules! The camp commandant will not let you off the hook!"
"You might want to check your eyesight again!" Ling Jiu snorted.
"We are still several hundred meters away from the training camp, how can this be counted as being inside the camp?"
"You..."
"What?"
Ling Jiu sneered as his patience ran out. "I don't have the time to talk bullsh*t with you people. Since you don't want to comply, don't blame me!"
"Twelve times gravity!"
Baaam!!
A terrifying force of gravity came crashing down and smashed heavily into the five as if Mount Everest had fallen upon them.
The next moment, apart from Christopher and Hirano Hatake, the three girls were directly crushed into the ground.
"Still standing? Not bad."
Ling Jiu chuckled. "However, inside the Arcana Field, my gravity power can be increased up to 60 times! I want to see how can you resist that!"
In other words, inside the Arcana Field, he could unleash 60 times the gravity!
Sixty times!
That was a very outrageous number!
A person weighing 60kg would weigh 3,600kg under 60 times the gravity! Three whole tons!
The most important thing was, the effect of gravity was omnidirectional, which meant that the weight of every organ and every cell in the body had also skyrocketed by 60 times!
The burden of weight on this level was devastating to the organs and cells!
"Sixty times!!"
A look of fear appeared in Christopher and Hirano Hatake's eyes.
Although their bodies were powerful, they were not that strong as to withstand 60 times the gravity. That was just too terrifying!
"What do you want?"
Christopher growled.
"Your hearing needs some fixing!"
Ling Jiu could not be bothered to answer the question and began to increase the gravitational force.
"Fourteen times!
"Sixteen times!
"Eighteen times!"
"Stop... Stop!!"
Christina, who was crushed into the ground was the first to shout. "I'll hand over my entire haul! I can't stand it anymore! Stop it!"
"At least you know what's good for you!"
Ling Jiu snorted and reduced the gravity on Christina. "Hand over your Dimensional Pocket, I'll let you out!"
Christina was panting heavily, while her face was pale. Her body was drenched in sweat as if she had just gone on a trip to the gates of Hades.
"Here!"
Christina took the Dimensional Pocket off her waist and tossed it over with an unwilling expression. Ling Jiu checked through its contents as a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"You can get lost now!"
With a wave of his hand, Ling Jiu ejected Christina out of the Arcana Field, and then looked at the remaining four.
"Let's continue, shall we!
"Twenty times!
"Twenty-two times!"
"Stop... Stop! I'll hand over my Dimensional Pocket!"
This time it was Janet's turn to give up, followed by Edna.
"Now it's just the two of you left!
"Twenty-six times!
"Twenty-eight times!
"Thirty times!"
At 30 times the gravity, Hirano Hatake could not hold on any longer. Christopher, on the other hand, was the most tenacious of them all, persisting all the way to 40 times the gravity before passing out.
"At least you have some backbone!"
Ling Jiu shook his head and took the Dimensional Pocket from Christopher before looking at Hirano Hatake and the other three. "If you team up the next time, I will rob you again!
"As long as you team up, I will continue to rob all of you until you stop!
"Of course, if I were to rob all of you clean, I believe I'll only need to do it three times to get all of you kicked out of the camp!
"Let's go!"
Ling Jiu departed with Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling'er, leaving Hirano Hatake and the other three with a bitter look on their faces, and the passed out Christopher.
"That's too much!"
"He's just too much!"
Christina and the others trembled in rage as anger and humiliation burned in their hearts. If their gaze could kill, they would really want to rip Ling Jiu into pieces!
"Edna, it's all because of your damn 'great' idea!"
