Part 3
At the same time, the cameras in the arena locked onto Yun Yingzhi, and close-ups of the “fragile” little rabbit appeared on the projection screens in all directions.
Yes, until that moment, everyone believed the little rabbit was fragile.
In the next second, they saw the fragile little white rabbit from their imagination latch its tiny body directly onto the opposing warrior.
The gravity balls were still rolling toward them from all sides.
The moment the little rabbit clung to him, that warrior also transformed into his Second Form: a creature that looked like a lion but possessed two pairs of wings—a Gryphon.
The Gryphon tried to flap its wings to take flight…
The crowd witnessed a scene that defied logic.
Everything happened in an instant.
When the footage was played back in slow motion, everyone felt it was a surreal, slow-burning moment. They didn’t know how the little rabbit did it.
In that instant, the little rabbit held the Gryphon with its tiny paws. Compared to the massive body of the beast, the rabbit looked truly weak and helpless.
But this tiny thing actually lifted the Gryphon…
No, the more accurate term was “carried” (suplexed).
The visual was extremely subtle. They felt the rabbit shouldn’t be able to do it, but the rabbit did.
He carried the Gryphon, leapt, and smashed it hard onto the top of a gravity ball.
The Gryphon had been struggling violently, but it seemed to be pinned down by something, unable to move at all as it was forced onto the gravity ball.
At the moment of impact, the rabbit instantly let go. Its tiny body nimbly bounced off the Gryphon and landed on the body of his teammate.
The opposing warrior controlling the gravity balls stopped his ability. The trio looked at the “fragile” little rabbit standing on its teammate’s head with looks of pure shock.
At this moment, Yun Yingzhi had no idea how shocking his simple actions were.
To him, what kind of people were the students he usually encountered as a military student?
Among his peers, there was the brilliant Huai Boshe. A year younger was Yun Yingyao. Older was Yun Yinghui. He heard rumors about people like Elvis and Wei Yuanqing.
Compared to them, Yun Yingzhi felt that he, without an awakened ability, was very insignificant.
Among all abilities, the “Strength” ability was considered one of the weakest.
Yun Yingzhi had known for a long time that his Second Form’s strength was a bit high, but that wasn’t from an ability; it was simply the physical constitution of his form.
Look at the other military students. Even if their strength wasn’t as high as his, it wasn’t too bad either. So, in Yun Yingzhi’s mind, having great strength really wasn’t anything to be proud of.
But “abnormal” was still “abnormal.”
The rabbit’s volume was simply too small. When such a tiny rabbit exerted such immense force, the visual impact was staggering.
A-Qing looked at Yun Yingzhi and said, “…Brother, you’re that powerful?” Could a little white rabbit really be this strong?
He felt that the sheer strength of the rabbit on his team was enough to fight a Level 5 Ability Warrior.
Yun Yingzhi paused and said, “It’s alright.”
The rabbit’s voice sounded exceptionally tender and milky. He couldn’t control it, which was another reason he hated speaking in his Second Form.
After the first clash, the second round began.
This time, with the previous experience, Yun Yingzhi didn’t care about anything else and charged directly at the opponents.
He felt he was so powerful!
Thinking about it, it was only natural—after all, he was a military student!
Fire and ice were incompatible. A-Qing, knowing his ice would be canceled out by Yun Yingzhi’s Source Weapon, decided to be a “salted fish” and let the rabbit carry him to a win.
A-Hao, with his Earth ability, tried his best to support Yun Yingzhi with his defensive and offensive walls.
Yun Yingzhi had already gotten into the spirit of the fight.
Today’s battle was honestly the first time in his life he had ever fought without holding back.
In the past, besides scuffling with Huai Boshe as a child and being crushed, no one ever fought him.
The little rabbit, finally having a chance to shine, didn’t even think about using his Source Weapon. He just used his tiny body to hop around, “nuzzling” the enemy warriors, jumping high, and slamming them down!
In the crowd, someone shouted at the top of their lungs, “What a powerful Battle Rabbit!”
Yun Yingzhi twitched his long ears. He was already happy, but now he was even happier.
Just then, a gravity ball rolled toward him.
In the heat of the moment, Yun Yingzhi’s confidence had swelled to its peak. He felt he was unstoppable. With eyes sparkling, he watched the ball approach, felt he was an omnipotent god, and swung a tiny rabbit punch—
BOOM! With a loud explosion, the gravity ball made of energy dissipated instantly.
The little rabbit hopped proudly, looking incredibly happy.
From somewhere in the stands, someone else yelled, “BATTLE RABBIT!”
Following that shout, more and more people joined in.
At first, their voices were scattered, but after a few times, the crowd’s voices unified into a massive, earth-shaking roar.
Amidst the cheers, Yun Yingzhi marveled to himself: As expected of the Yaoming Battle Arena.
In Fense Academy, he was just a little piece of trash, but here in the arena open to the whole Empire, he was a combat machine!
It took about six minutes for the team led by the rabbit to secure the victory in their 3V3 match.
Perhaps because Yun Yingzhi’s form was so unique compared to the usual fierce beasts—the kind of appearance that “tough guys and gals” who love the arena find most endearing—the referee shouted excitedly, “Congratulations to our Little Battle Bunny team for winning this 3V3 match!”
Following the referee’s words, the entire spectator area erupted in the same chant.
Yun Yingzhi the rabbit felt a lump in his chest. “Battle Rabbit” was one thing, but what on earth was a “Little Battle Bunny”?
Amidst his complex emotions, his two teammates quickly grabbed the rabbit and ran.
On the way, some spectators saw the rabbit and instinctively wanted to reach out and pet it, but A-Qing was quick to dodge.
They ducked into the restroom to hide.
People were coming and going, and everyone instinctively looked at the rabbit. Occasionally, someone would say, “Look, that’s the rumored Little Battle Bunny!”
Yun Yingzhi pulled a grumpy “pouty rabbit face,” went into a stall, transformed back into his human shape, confirmed his clothes were intact and his hat and mask were on, and then walked out.
The three gathered again.
A-Qing’s eyes were sparkling as he looked at Yun Yingzhi. “A-Tu, you’re so strong!”
Yun Yingzhi: “…”
He was momentarily speechless. Just a moment ago, he was “A-Qiang,” so why had he suddenly become “A-Tu”?
Despite the thought, he didn’t correct A-Qing. He lifted his chin slightly and said, “Now you’ve seen my prowess.”
A-Hao said, “Should we queue for a second match?”
Yun Yingzhi nodded. He hadn’t fought enough and wanted to keep going.
A-Hao, the team leader, applied for the next match.
Before the second match started, Yun Yingzhi thought back to his idea from earlier.
A Source Weapon with a Limited Space ability that could sever the connection between the Zerg Queen and the Zerg Legions.
The abilities in a Source Weapon are formed through carved patterns and released in short bursts. Just now, a vague idea had formed in his mind.
But then he realized a critical point.
He felt he could finally help Yun Yinghui, but what if these kinds of Source Weapons already existed in the military in large numbers?
Before the second 3V3 match began, he planned to send a private message to Yun Yinghui to ask.
He opened his personal terminal and saw the messages from Wei Yuanqing and the other three, asking where he was.
He gave them a brief reply, then opened his chat with Yun Yinghui and sent a message.
[Yun Yingzhi: Brother?]
A few seconds later, a reply came.
[Yun Yinghui: Still not asleep?]
Yun Yingzhi checked the time; it wasn’t even 10:00 PM yet.
He felt a bit guilty. Yun Yinghui indulged him in many things, but that didn’t include him, as a little rabbit, skipping school and running to the Yaoming Battle Arena in the middle of the night.
If Yun Yinghui found out, he would be scolded just like the minors here.
Yun Yingzhi didn’t give his brother a chance to “check his dorm” and asked directly:
[Yun Yingzhi: Brother, I’m curious. Do you guys have a certain kind of Source Weapon?]
He realized that was a bit vague and continued typing:
[Yun Yingzhi: A Source Weapon with a Limited Space ability.]
He thought about it. Space-type abilities were rare, and Source Weapons with them were also uncommon, but overall they weren’t that rare. For example: space-jump weapons, teleportation weapons, blink weapons… these were all Limited Space types.
