Chapter 201 -200: The Opportunist (Chapter 200 Celebration, Vote Request)
“Carrion hyena, Shadow Raid.”
As the whistle to start the match had barely blown, the carrion hyena’s strong forelimbs glowed with pale purple energy particles, and before anyone knew it, it had vanished into a shadow, disappearing from sight.
“So fast.” Li Yiming watched the suddenly vanished carrion hyena, unable to help but worry about Shao Zifeng.
The little deer swiftly raised its head, its ears twitching nonstop.
Suddenly it turned its head towards the side, the gaze in its jade-like eyes shimmering.
Crack!
The moment the carrion hyena’s paw touched ground, the rocks on the surface suddenly burst, and two vines broke through the soil, entangling together like an arch, tripping its paws.
“Argh!”
The inertia from the skill sent it flying violently, tumbling through the air.
At that moment, Shao Zifeng, who had been watching the carrion hyena closely, noticed the changes in its status bar and called out to the deer, “Little deer, use Wood Thorn for a cross-defense!”
“Argh!”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the carrion hyena, which had been tumbling in midair, suddenly stabilized. It twisted its body and pounced towards the little deer like a tiger lunging at its prey, its sharp front paws glowing with four streaks of white light.
“Yo!”
The deer calmly took a half-step backward, its eyes glowing green as two huge, barbed wood thorns rapidly formed and fiercely plunged into the ground in front of it, crossing each other.
Whoosh.
Before the spectators could even recover, they saw the crossed wood thorns snap in half as if struck by a heavy blow, scattering splinters in all directions, while the carrion hyena performed a backflip, neatly landing on the ground.
Its fierce eyes were fixed on the little deer, its scarlet tongue licking its wounded front paw, a thick drool mixed with bright red blood, making people feel a bit nauseous.
Shaking its body spiritedly, the little deer got rid of the splinters in its fur and even turned back to look at Shao Zifeng, full of pride.

“What was that just now, why could it use a skill after being tripped and flung?” Hu Shiwu, who seemed to have returned to the ready area at some point, asked, looking at Bald Qiang.
Unlike the deer’s ease.
Bald Qiang rubbed his stubbled chin with one hand, his thick eyebrows furrowed tightly together.
“We’re in trouble, it looks like this carrion hyena possesses the hidden talent ‘Opportunist’.”
‘Opportunist’?
The three youngsters exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat baffled.
With their level of knowledge, they couldn’t even remember all the innate talents of the mutant creatures within the Great Xia, let alone the hidden talents of mutant creatures from abroad.
Seeing their confusion, Bald Qiang continued, “Hyenas primarily live on the African continent and are ferocious medium-sized predators. Research indicates that hyenas’ racial talent is ‘Group Hunting,’ because their success rate when hunting as a group is often many times higher than when hunting alone.”
“It’s also because they always move in packs and follow lion prides to feed on carrion that most people think of them as cowardly creatures.”
“But in fact, hyenas are very fierce animals. Following lions is mainly about looking for opportunities; they would even dare to snatch prey from the mouths of lions if the chance arises. It was after many years of research that scholars abroad discovered their hidden racial talent and named it ‘Opportunist,’ based on their traits.”
“This talent enables them to instantaneously execute a skill at the right moment when in a disadvantaged or suppressed state, thereby turning the tide.”
Hearing Bald Qiang’s explanation, the three looked at each other, realizing the talent was almost a divine technique for turning the tables when things didn’t go well, wondering if their captain could handle it.
On the field.
Wounded and wary, the carrion hyena didn’t rush to attack but kept pacing back and forth, looking for an opportunity to make its move.
The deer, annoyed by the scent emanating from it, just wanted to finish quickly and go play with Shao Zifeng.
Images of the tactics that Shao Zifeng had arranged for it earlier began to surface in its little brain, and the light in its jade-like eyes grew increasingly bright.
“Eh!”
The small hooves of the fawn stomped the ground forcefully, emitting a clear chirp, as specks of green light emerged from its body, hovering in mid-air and resonating with its fur, creating a profound sense of beauty.
The Carrion hyena felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, its mane on the neck bristling, watching the fawn vigilantly.
But after waiting a moment without anything happening, its tension slowly eased, and it watched the fawn with interest, its fierce gaze filled with mockery.
Unlike the fawn, which found its scent unpleasant, the hyena drooled over the life energy emanating from the fawn. If it weren’t for their habit of seeking opportunities before attacking, it would have pounced and torn into its flesh long ago.
Licking its somewhat dry nose with its scarlet tongue, saliva dripping profusely from its mouth, the Carrion hyena no longer wanted to wait and prepared to launch another attack.
“Awoo!”
The Carrion hyena howled to the sky, a sound resembling that of a wolf or dog, yet shriller and more unpleasant than either.
Its sharp claws spread apart, furiously scratching the ground and leaving claw marks. The Carrion hyena leaped high towards the fawn, its eyes glittering with greed and excitement, its tongue dangling out, dripping with viscous saliva.
The fawn stood still, as if frozen in fear.
As the Carrion hyena drew closer, the stench-filled gust of wind pressed the fawn’s fluff tightly against its body.
The Carrion hyena’s claws shimmered with white light, and between the bared fangs, one could glimpse strands of saliva.
From the stands, the sight of the delicate white fawn about to be overpowered by the sinister hyena drew gasps, and some girls could not bear to watch any longer.
In the Yundu Literary Academy’s ready area, Teacher He’s stern face showed an almost obsessive excitement, the light reflecting off her glasses hiding her eyes.
Bald Qiang suddenly stood up, ready to call a halt to the match and concede defeat at any moment.
Boom!
Just when all seemed lost, the entire stadium suddenly shook violently.
Amidst the frantic screams of the audience, thick layers of rock on the field began to fracture, sending rubble rolling and scattering as something seemed about to break through from beneath.
Crash!
Dozens of thorns-and-barbs-covered vines threw countless pieces of rubble as they swung arrogantly in mid-air. They entwined with each other, forming a protective barrier around the fawn.
The Carrion hyena, caught mid-pounce, could only watch as it collided with the spikes, with its rich, thick blood trickling down the vines. It hung there, impaled on the barbs, emitting pained howls.
“Awoo!!”
During the successive screams, the shaking stopped, and the scattered audience nervously turned their attention back to the field.
What had once been a smooth rock surface was now a field of rubble, with dust filling the air, and a cage constructed of thorn vines standing tall on Shao Zifeng’s side.
Stones continued to roll down from the cage, but apart from the dust-covered traces of blood, the figures of the two beasts were nowhere to be seen.
“Carrion hyena!” Du Yuyu, who until now had held the upper hand, became frantic with the disappearance of her Carrion hyena. She looked up at Shao Zifeng.
In a real match, a Combat Training Master can do very little; human dynamic vision can hardly keep up with the fast-paced battles between mutant creatures, and even if the mind can keep up, there isn’t time to speak.
Of course, Shao Zifeng was an exception.
Just two brief encounters had passed and her Carrion hyena had already vanished, inevitably causing her some unease.
Noticing Du Yuyu’s gaze, Shao Zifeng shifted his attention from the towering cage and flashed her a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, it’ll be over soon, and it won’t hurt much.”
Looking at Shao Zifeng’s smiling face, handsome in appearance, Du Yuyu suddenly shivered uncontrollably.
That was totally the tone of a creepy old man!
