Who says I can't become a Grand Master?

Chapter 99: Starting directly with [Steel Bone Bull]

Chapter 100: Starting directly with [Steel Bone Bull]

The man in work clothes suddenly turned around, a smug and twisted grin spreading across his face.

He suddenly held up the card to Zhang Qingzhe, and under the dim streetlights, the card surface shimmered with an ominous glow.

"You little rascal, watch closely!"

His voice was hoarse with excitement. "This is a Level 4 card! You've never seen one before, have you? Take one last good look—after this, you're finished!"

Before the words were even finished, magic essence was already being frantically injected into the card.

The entire card instantly emitted a dangerous and blinding red light, like the pupil of a dying beast.

At the same time, a mutation occurs within his body.

The man's magic energy began to boil and churn out of control, causing all his magical circuits to overload at the same time.

His abdomen swelled and bulged at a terrifying rate, as if a miniature sun was being conceived beneath his skin.

The light even shone through clothing, illuminating the surroundings in an eerie crimson hue.

Zhang Qingzhe's pupils suddenly contracted.

The horrific image of the suicide bombing in front of the hospital flashed through my mind like lightning.

"not good!"

He almost instinctively activated the [Shield Card] he had prepared beforehand, and at the same time lunged towards the alleyway to the side.

Just as his figure disappeared into the shadows, boom—!!

Blazing light engulfed the street.

A massive fireball, accompanied by a shockwave capable of shattering everything, burst forth and instantly filled the entire space.

The scorching air currents pushed forward like a solid wall.

In a fraction of a second, the shop windows along the street transformed into millions of sparkling raindrops.

The lamppost, like a twisted rope, snapped and flew away with a mournful cry.

The asphalt road surface was easily torn up, and gravel and dust mixed together to form a dark, raging torrent that swept and surged in all directions.

The loud noise shattered the silence of the night, and windows several kilometers away were buzzing.

The explosion left a charred, shallow crater, surrounded by molten and solidified debris.

Fortunately, it was already late at night, and there was no one on the streets.

This sudden disaster spared innocent pedestrians.

Zhang Qingzhe patted his chest, hoping that the authorities would handle the explosion properly and not affect the property prices in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Otherwise, the old ladies in the neighborhood would definitely be secretly plotting against him behind his back.

Zhang Qingzhe slowly raised his head from behind the cover.

The shield's light gradually faded after a violent fluctuation.

He gazed at the ruins that had been created in an instant, a chill creeping up his spine, while the anger in his chest burned even more fiercely.

That bastard Chameleon—he even lied to his own men.

Although the person leading the way betrayed him halfway through, Zhang Qingzhe's plan was already half successful.

He had pinpointed the approximate location.

The two-headed crow rose into the night sky again, silently searching in that direction.

"Damn it—this is absolutely outrageous! I didn't see him being this powerful in the prophetic vision!"

The chameleon lurked in the shadows, muttering curses under its breath, its two eyeballs darting erratically in their sockets.

Such a violent explosion would definitely attract the attention of the security bureau.

Tonight's mission can no longer continue.

He wrapped his black suit tighter around himself and lowered his head, trying to slip into the deeper alley.

However, in the instant he looked up, he saw that eerie crow in the night sky.

Based on years of experience, Chameleon immediately realized that this was the other party's informant.

He quickly activated the [Mimicry Card] and pressed himself tightly against the corner of the wall.

The Mimicry Card is useful; it helped him escape last time. However, it has a fatal flaw:

You can only move slowly, otherwise you will become visible.

Zhang Qingzhe was directing the two-headed crow.

With the advantage of aerial vision, the crow can lock onto the chameleon immediately if it moves quickly.

But if he moves slowly, Zhang Qingzhe won't be in a hurry; he can search at his own pace.

In any case, with the crow's overhead view, they had already trapped the other party in this alley.

The chameleon clearly thought of this as well.

A chilling fear crept up the back of my neck.

Although he possesses three hundred magical paths, his primary focus is on the School of Prophecy, while his secondary focus is on the School of Illusion.

Both of these are support-oriented schools of thought and simply don't have the resources to directly confront the [Energy Shaping School].

But Chameleon's ability to survive so long, and even rise to a minor leader within the Deadpool organization, is entirely due to his cunning wisdom.

Even in this desperate situation, he immediately came up with a solution.

He drew a clone card from the Illusion School and created a clone of himself.

The clone fled forward along the alley, while his main body hid at the alley entrance.

Like a spotted moth clinging to a birch tree, it blends perfectly into its surroundings.

Zhang Qingzhe indeed discovered the clone.

He quickly chased after him to the alley entrance, lowering his voice to warn, "Stop now, or I'll make my move."

The clone, however, seemed not to hear, and continued to move forward unsteadily with its neurotic little steps.

Zhang Qingzhe subconsciously took a step forward, just about to chase after the chameleon lying in ambush beside him in the alley, when his heart suddenly tightened.

He was just waiting for Zhang Qingzhe to take two more steps forward so he could launch a fatal attack.

But to his utter surprise, Zhang Qingzhe stopped right beside him.

Cold sweat instantly soaked the chameleon's back.

However, Zhang Qingzhe's attention was entirely focused on his clone, and he did not notice the ambush that was right next to him.

He just felt the alley was too narrow—

If that guy in front uses the [self-destruct card] here, I probably won't be able to dodge it.

Using the [Exploding Wasp] card might not completely solve the problem.

After all, the opponent has far more [magic loops] than him, and is very likely to possess high-level [defense cards].

After a moment's thought, Zhang Qingzhe drew out his secret weapon.

The chameleon next to him got excited again, thinking that the other party was going to use the [Necromancer Witch] card.

To his disappointment, it turned out to be a Level 1 card.

Just as the chameleon was puzzled, Zhang Qingzhe injected a powerful surge of magical energy.

The card in his hand shattered instantly.

Two sharp horns emerged first, followed by a heavy steel-boned calf crashing to the ground.

The bluestone bricks beneath its four hooves shattered instantly, nearly crushing the chameleon's feet.

The chameleon stared in horror at the massive steel-boned bull.

The bony spurs protruding from its shoulder blades almost pierced its own belly.

Zhang Qingzhe stared intently at the clone in front of him. Seeing that the clone had no intention of communicating, he no longer hesitated.

He suddenly waved his hand forward.

Upon receiving the command, the Steel-Bone Bull suddenly took off and galloped forward.

Sparks flew and lightning flashed all the way, and the bull's horns scraped against the narrow walls on both sides, making a hissing sound that seemed to be on the verge of death.

The next second, there was a loud "boom".

The Steel-Bone Bull slammed its clone into the wall, causing the entire brick wall to collapse.

The chameleon swallowed hard.

He's really scared now.
