I Raised a Cub in the Military Academy Chapter 17.2

Part 2

Even though it was just an ordinary rookie 3V3 match, the Yaoming Battle Arena lived up to its reputation. At any time, the spectator stands were always filled with people.

Yun Yingzhi scanned the crowd, then withdrew his gaze to look at the opponents on the other side of the platform.

Two males and one female. They looked under twenty, likely students—perhaps minors themselves.

Children like this who didn’t listen and ran out in the middle of the night to play should all be reported and complained about.

The three opponents looked at Yun Yingzhi’s team with disdain.

One of the men said, “Heh, it’s just a match. You’re covering your faces—I wonder what kind of shameful thing you’re hiding.”

Yun Yingzhi’s brow furrowed. As a student who had escaped from the academy in the middle of the night, he was indeed “shameful” to be seen.

Unlike Yun Yingzhi’s good temper, A-Qing instantly exploded.

A-Qing put his hands on his hips and shouted angrily, “You’re the shameful one! Your whole family is shameful!”

As the adult, Yun Yingzhi felt he should be the core of the team. He pulled A-Qing back and said, “A-Qing, don’t be angry. They’re doing this on purpose!”

A-Qing looked at Yun Yingzhi.

Yun Yingzhi explained, “This is a tactic in battle. They’re trying to break your mental state on purpose!”

One of the opposing boys spat and said with disdain, “Break the mental state of three people who look this weak? Do we even need a tactic for that?”

Yun Yingzhi patted A-Qing’s shoulder and added, “They said they’re not shameful to be seen. Let’s take pictures of their faces now, and tonight we’ll report them to every single academy on the Imperial Star.”

A-Qing and A-Hao: “…”

The three opponents: “…”

At that moment, let alone the two teammates, even the three opponents—and even the referee standing in the center of the platform—were dumbfounded.

In all his years working at the Yaoming Battle Arena, this was the first time he had heard someone suggest taking pictures of an opponent to report them.

A-Qing and A-Hao’s eyes lit up, looking at Yun Yingzhi with admiration.

At the same time, the three opponents were furious. Before the match even started, one of them charged toward Yun Yingzhi’s group, shouting, “We’ll rip off their hats and masks too and see if they’re fit to be seen!”

Yun Yingzhi froze and instinctively clutched his hat and mask. He looked especially like someone with something to hide.

Before the battle officially began, the atmosphere between the two teams had reached a boiling point.

A layer of earthen walls rose, blocking the three of them.

A-Hao established a defensive wall, trying to stop the opposing man’s advance. However, before the first clash could happen, the referee stepped in to stop the six people.

The referee said, “Warriors of both teams, please stay calm. The battle hasn’t started yet.”

At that moment, Yun Yingzhi and the two minors acted in perfect unison. They adjusted their hats, revealing three pairs of eyes that glared at the opposing trio. It looked exceptionally childish.

The three opponents glared back fiercely.

The referee once again asked the warriors to calm down and gave a brief introduction of both teams.

The referee said, “Before the battle has even begun, these two rookie teams are already filled with hostility toward each other. Now, let us see what these little children…”

The six people on the platform, glaring at each other, all snapped their gazes toward the referee.

The referee realized he had misspoken and smoothly corrected himself without changing his expression, “…how these warriors of both teams will bring us a magnificent battle!”

As the referee finished his sentence, the two teams, their anger already maxed out, charged simultaneously.

Among the various elemental energies, Yun Yingzhi was closest to the fire element. Thus, the Source Weapon he manufactured for himself was fire-based.

Almost at the same time, Yun Yingzhi and A-Qing unleashed their abilities.

Yun Yingzhi used a fire-type area attack from his Source Weapon: Sea of Flames. A-Qing used an ice-type area attack: Blizzard.

Then, the abilities of the two teammates collided. The higher-level flames melted the blizzard into a torrential downpour, and all attack energy dissipated instantly.

A-Qing looked at Yun Yingzhi with a gaze that could kill.

Yun Yingzhi didn’t think he was in the wrong at all. He looked at A-Qing proudly and said, “My level is higher than yours; I’m more powerful!”

Following his words, two of the opposing warriors approached, while the third was a long-range Ability user.

That person’s ability was quite special: Limited Space. Under the influence of this power, the Sea of Flames was drawn into a localized space—a vacuum zone—where it automatically extinguished.

At the same time, the two approaching warriors attacked Yun Yingzhi and A-Qing, who were drawing the most aggro.

As a military student, Yun Yingzhi’s agility was very high. He dodged the man’s attack with a leap and launched a single-target strike at the opposing trio: Flame Critical.

It could be said that the Limited Space ability of the opposing warrior completely suppressed the basic abilities contained within Yun Yingzhi’s Source Weapon.

It had nothing to do with level; no matter the energy, entering that limited space caused the flames to go out completely.

Yun Yingzhi’s brow furrowed. In that moment, his mind wandered slightly, thinking of Yun Yinghui.

Yun Yinghui was fighting on the front lines. The Zerg Legions followed the Queen’s orders absolutely, self-destructing without fear of death…

Yun Yingzhi realized something.

Just like his flames were extinguished when facing a Limited Space ability, then…

Regardless of level, if he could manufacture a Source Weapon with a Limited Space ability, would it help Yun Yinghui?

The specific “Limited Space” he wanted was a Sealed Boundary that could sever the connection between the Zerg Queen and the Zerg Legions.

Yun Yingzhi felt that as long as he had the idea, this type of Source Weapon shouldn’t be too difficult to manufacture.

Generally, Source Weapons depend on alignment. For example, compared to other elements, the fire-attribute weapon suited him best, allowing him to more effectively unleash the energy within.

One of the greatest characteristics of Source Weapons was that while alignment was good, one could “force” a connection even without it. Of course, the power would be greatly reduced.

But even so, without pursuing pure power, if a large group of Ability Warriors used Limited Space Source Weapons that could block the Zerg Queen’s mental fluctuations, wouldn’t that be a massive help to Yun Yinghui?

Yun Yingzhi was internally excited.

Since he started studying Source Weapon manufacturing, he had wanted to give back to Yun Yinghui. He always wanted to do something for him, but Yun Yinghui was nine years older, had graduated as the valedictorian of Fense Academy, and had entered the military early. He had his own team and accomplishments; he didn’t need Yun Yingzhi to do anything for him.

At this moment, Yun Yingzhi finally realized that he actually could help Yun Yinghui.

In the past, his thinking was only about helping Yun Yinghui as an individual. Now, based on the Limited Space Source Weapon he just thought of, he realized there was so much more he could do for his brother.

Right now, he couldn’t manufacture a custom weapon for Yun Yinghui, but he could manufacture weapons for Yun Yinghui’s teammates!

Limited Space was just one of the abilities a Source Weapon could carry; he could add many, many other skills to it.

Generally, Ability Warriors who graduated from military academies were Level 6 or above. Most soldiers ranged from Level 1 to Level 6; those who exceeded Level 6 could enter special operations units.

Yun Yingzhi didn’t know much about Yun Yinghui’s teammates, but no matter how powerful they were, they couldn’t all be Level 8 or above, right? There must be many Level 5s and 6s.

Yun Yingzhi was instantly thrilled.

After all these years, he finally felt like a younger brother who could be of use to his big brother.

Happy little flowers sprouted around Yun Yingzhi. He was extremely joyful.

And then…

Disaster struck in his moment of joy.

A-Qing’s voice rang in his ears, shouting loudly, “A-Qiang, look out!”

Yun Yingzhi’s pupils constricted. He saw an opposing male warrior charging toward him at high speed, swinging a fist to strike him.

Even more terrifying, from all directions, gravity balls weighing thousands of pounds were rolling toward him along the modified terrain.

Yun Yingzhi’s eyelids jumped wildly. In just a split second—and almost by instinct—his body made a judgment before his brain could even process it.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he transformed from his human shape into his Second Form.

Instantly, a little white rabbit appeared on the combat platform.

As Yun Yingzhi transformed, exclamations broke out from the spectator stands. Someone shouted, “What a cute little white rabbit!”
