Chapter 58: The Big Cat, Easy to Handle

Look at what you're calling him, 'Chi'?

Frivolous, rude.

Ji Chenxi's perception of Lan Mu dropped even further.

He nimbly flipped over, and sharp-eyed observers would notice he actually used the strength of the spider silk to his advantage. The razor-sharp strands didn't harm him in the slightest; instead, they became a significant aid to his movements.

Ji Chenxi flipped down, heading straight toward Lan Mu.

Lan Mu's eyes flickered, finding the cat exceedingly annoying, much like an irksome leopard and Ji Chenxi before him.

He quickly retreated, fingers moving slightly as if he was manipulating something in the air.

Lan Mu's spider silk was extremely fine, almost transparent. Even Ji Chenxi, whose spiritual form was a feline, found it hard to see clearly. But he knew Lan Mu was fiddling with the silk. Indeed, just as Ji Chenxi's attack was about to reach Lan Mu, his dagger became immobile.

Countless strands of silk appeared before him, coming to strangle him. If Ji Chenxi hadn't managed to wrap his dagger around them, he might have ended up with numerous cuts in that instant.

Ji Chenxi clicked his tongue lightly, spinning his dagger once more, and seemingly entangled, he actually cut through the spider silk.

"Oh? What a good thing; there aren't many that can cut my spider silk so easily."

Ji Chenxi didn't speak, just attacking Lan Mu once more, his speed looking fierce but was actually toned down a bit.

If Ji Chenxi were willing to showcase his strength above S-rank, he could easily capture Lan Mu using pheromones and mental control, but he only presented himself as S-rank for now, reminding himself to hold back a little.

Lan Mu hastily withdrew, once again manipulating the silk, enveloping Ji Chenxi in countless strands.

This dagger was no ordinary weapon; even against hard substances, it could easily slice through. However, this time, the spider silk had a sticky substance on it. Even if Ji Chenxi severed the strands wrapped around his dagger, some of that sticky residue remained. It wasn't much, but with enough accumulation, the dagger would become less effective against the silk.

Swarming from the darkness came countless small blue spiders, some crawling, some spinning silk. Each spider was Lan Mu's combat power, and each thread of silk was a line in his hand.

Most who faced Lan Mu would leave with a common evaluation: troublesome, dangerous, and... terrifying.

His combat power was among the top in S-rank. After all, few possess a spiritual form that can breed freely like Lan Mu's spiders, let alone be venomous.

Bai Anran watched from the side, heart racing. He wanted to call out a warning but feared Ji Chenxi would follow in his footsteps. At that moment, Bai Anran's body was paralyzed and unable to move. Logically, even if he wasn't as strong as Lan Mu, he shouldn't have been defeated so quickly. But the situation was dire, and shortly after confronting Lan Mu, he had been bitten by one of Lan Mu's venomous spiders while trying to save Lu Jianhan. Just that one bite left Bai Anran no chance to continue fighting.

Ji Chenxi, of course, wouldn't follow Bai Anran's path. The reason was simple: he wouldn't try to save either of them. With so many school higher-ups watching this new student trial, Lan Mu would have to be insane to act recklessly, threatening his life to the point of wanting to kill two people.

From the moment Ji Chenxi heard Lan Mu, he already knew the other's weakness.

Lan Mu relied heavily on his spiritual form as an S-rank. It could be said that his S-rank status largely stemmed from his spiritual form. Thus, his weakness was easy to guess.
