Chapter 28: The True Form of the Golden Wheel!!!
“Impossible!”
“What happened?”
“Everyone, did anyone see that…?”
Xiao Kui, now spectating after her defeat, asked repeatedly, bewildered. But the livestream chat offered no answers. 99.99% of the viewers were ordinary students. If even Xiao Kui, a core member under one of the Ten Greats, hadn’t seen clearly, these viewers had no chance.
“Wait, could she be cheating…?” Xiao Kui bit her finger anxiously and opened the battle replay.
Some players with advanced Mechanical Species pet beasts would try to hack the virtual battle data. Although they occasionally succeeded, they were quickly caught and banned by the officials.
So, could Strongest Moonlight Rabbit be a cheater?
Otherwise, how could she be instantly killed by a mere Mid-Tier Giant Moonlight Rabbit!?
With suspicion in her heart, Xiao Kui rewound the replay to a minute earlier, the moment when the Thundering Violet Lightning had just dispersed the dust with its ultimate skill.
“Boom!!!!”
In the replay, a shocking wave of lightning and thunder erupted, dispersing the wind and dust within a radius of several hundred meters. Xiao Kui and the Thundering Violet Lightning reappeared, like protagonists making a grand entrance in an anime.
Seeing this scene from the spectator’s perspective, Xiao Kui was almost mesmerized by her own heroic figure. Her livestream chat must be going wild, right?
She became even more convinced that Strongest Moonlight Rabbit was a cheater. How could the powerful and invincible Thundering Violet Lightning be instantly killed by an ordinary player with a lower-level pet beast?
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!!!”
The replay continued.
The Thundering Violet Lightning, transformed into a purple arc of electricity, flashed across dozens of meters in an instant, stopping directly above the Giant Moonlight Rabbit. As lightning energy crackled in the air, the Giant Moonlight Rabbit looked pathetically helpless. It couldn’t even move, paralyzed. How did it defeat her!?
Seeing this scene replayed, not only Xiao Kui but also the livestream viewers held their breath. Everyone focused on the golden-haired, stocking-clad girl with a calm expression, trying to determine if she was genuinely skilled or just a despised cheater.
Finally, the replay reached the final moment before the battle ended. To see how Strongest Moonlight Rabbit cheated, Xiao Kui had set the playback speed to 0.5x.
“—”
“—”
“Boom!!!”
In the next second, as the purple lightning was about to strike, two rapidly spinning golden wheels descended from the sky, intercepting the lightning’s path and landing steadily beside the Giant Moonlight Rabbit’s drooping ears. Instantly, the paralysis on the Giant Moonlight Rabbit disappeared, and it quickly grabbed the two Golden Wheels with its ears.
Then, its ears spun powerfully, throwing the wheels with an explosive force, creating a shockwave.
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The 0.5x speed replay clearly showed what happened in that instant. As the Giant Moonlight Rabbit threw the Golden Wheels, its heels dug deep grooves into the ground, and the surface beneath its feet shattered from the impact.

“Whoosh——!!!!!”
In the next second, two earth-shattering golden beams, like high-speed laser cannons, pierced straight through the purple lightning, leaving parallel golden lines in the white chamber. From the spectator’s perspective, it looked as if the entire chamber had been sliced in two…
After piercing through the end of the map, the two Golden Wheels flew back even faster, taking less than three seconds.
“Clack!”
The Moonlight Rabbit easily caught the rapidly spinning wheels. A shockwave rippled behind its soft ears, but its massive body remained motionless, not even swaying.
Looking up again, all the pillars and obstacles in front of it had been cleanly bisected.
End of replay…
After watching the entire replay, Xiao Kui sat frozen in silence, as if her soul had left her body.
But the livestream chat exploded.
“Huh?”
“???”
“????????????”
“What was that? Aren’t those Golden Wheels?”
“Wait, wasn’t Xiao Kui watching at 0.5x speed? Why couldn’t I see clearly? Is this actually a 2x speed replay?”
“What the hell kind of power is that!?”
“A Moonlight Rabbit Biological Species evolution using Weapon Species…this is the first time I’ve seen this. This is insane!!!!?”
Xiao Kui, a core member of the White Maple Academy team, had been defeated by an ordinary player with a lower-level pet beast…
This result was unacceptable.
Xiao Kui lowered her head, her eyes unfocused, her mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word.
If the opponent had used the Golden Wheels from the beginning…
Forget getting close, she probably wouldn’t have even survived the first attack!!!
The Golden Wheels, thrown with the Moonlight Rabbit’s full power and enhanced by their own high-speed rotation, were on a completely different level compared to ordinary rocks and debris!
Xiao Kui realized that even at 0.5x speed, the Thundering Violet Lightning likely wouldn’t have been able to dodge!
Let alone at the actual, impossible-to-see speed…
Acknowledging the gap between them, Xiao Kui quickly adjusted her mentality and explained with a trembling voice, “I…I lost…”
“It’s…it’s fine. Winning and losing are common in battles. I don’t mind at all!!!”
“And everyone, don’t worry. Even if I was defeated, Strongest Moonlight Rabbit won’t have it easy~~”
“She’ll soon face the legendary Ten Greats, Captain Aurora of White Maple Academy~~~~”
“The Captain will avenge me!!!”
As if in answer to her forced reassurance, a prominent message appeared on the screen.
