You said you'd fail to awaken your powers, but you're actually a master of top-tier abilit

"Jessica, right?"

"Today I'll show you the true power of my talent, Hantian!"

On the arena, Zhu Jun let out a cold shout, and his blood and qi suddenly erupted. A scorching aura swept out from him, and the alloy arena beneath his feet even began to heat up slightly.

He knew that the other party dared to provoke Hanxia because they had something to rely on.

Therefore, he made his move without holding back, directly using his S-rank ability, "Phoenix Flame".

"Hey——!"

As if a clear phoenix cry resounded throughout the square, Zhu Jun pushed his palms forward with a sudden burst of energy. His powerful spiritual energy, mixed with intense blood and qi, transformed into a giant fire phoenix with a wingspan of over five meters.

The phoenix was incredibly lifelike, its feathers made of leaping crimson flames, its eyes burning with golden light. Wherever it passed, the air distorted, heat waves surged, and it pounced on Jessica with a terrifying power that could incinerate everything.

The power of this strike has already surpassed the limit of an ordinary fourth-tier martial artist, and even exceeded the full-force strike of a fifth-tier early-stage awakened individual.

"That fire phoenix looks like it could melt steel!"

"Such powerful fire abilities! The power of Zhu Jun's attack even makes me, a senior in the early stages of the fifth rank, feel lingering fear!"

"This is incredible! Is this the power of an S-class ability?"

"A full-force attack right from the start, well done!"

"Junior Zhu Jun is awesome! He decided the outcome with just one move!"

"Let's see if that Jessica still dares to be arrogant! Let her taste the power of our Hanxia Flames!"

"The power of Zhu Jun's move is such that even a fifth-tier early-stage martial artist couldn't withstand it. If Jessica only displayed the blood and qi strength of a fourth-tier late-stage martial artist, she definitely wouldn't be able to stop it!"

As Zhu Jun made his move, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers and gasps of amazement.

The students of Mohai University were so excited that their faces turned red, and they waved their fists.

They had all witnessed Zhu Jun's unparalleled dominance in the freshman competition with his Phoenix Flame ability. Seeing such power now, they were naturally brimming with confidence and believed that victory was in sight.

Even some school leaders on the platform showed a hint of approval and expectation in their eyes.

However, when faced with this fiery phoenix that would make even a fifth-tier early-stage martial artist take it seriously, Jessica's playful smile remained unchanged, instead carrying the look of someone looking at a novel toy.

"An S-rank nature-based fire ability? Interesting."

"Unfortunately, it's still far from being cooked properly."

Faced with the rapidly approaching fire phoenix, Jessica calmly shook her head, her tone indifferent.

Just as the phoenix was about to strike, Jessica finally moved.

"Radiant Holy Dragon, Half-Dragon Transformation!"

He did not dodge, but instead slightly shook his arms, and a powerful aura that was far more magnificent than Zhu Jun's suddenly erupted!

Om-!

A dazzling yet not blinding white halo emanated from Jessica's body, instantly covering her body with a layer of crystal-clear, dense dragon scales, as if carved from white jade!

His hands transformed into dragon claws, with sharp fingertips. His forehead bulged slightly on both sides, as if dragon horns were about to burst through his skin, and his pupils turned into cold, pale gold vertical pupils!

This is Jessica's awakened SS-class Paramecia-type ability, "Radiant Holy Dragon," which allows her to transform into a dragon and greatly enhances her physical attributes.

However, Jessica still held back when facing Zhu Jun's fire phoenix attack, only transforming into a half-dragon and not a full dragon.

Even so, after Jessica transformed into a half-dragon, the intensity of his blood and qi surged wildly at the moment of transformation, reaching a terrifying level close to that of a peak fifth-tier martial artist.

The immense pressure was so overwhelming that even some spectators near the front row of the ring felt their breath catch in their throats.

"What a terrifying aura!"

"What level of superpower does this foreigner have? The amplification is so strong!"

"Those things growing on his body look like the scales of a Western dragon!"

"I think I just heard the words 'dragon transformation,' could it be a dragon-type transformation ability from the Paramecia category?!"

"Anything related to dragons possesses top-tier superpowers, even Western dragons. This is a huge problem!"

"This aura is comparable to the peak of the fifth rank, and he's just a freshman!"

The cheers from the audience abruptly ceased, replaced by incredulous gasps and gasps of shock.

An ominous premonition hung over everyone's hearts.

But what happened next made them breathe a sigh of relief.

Upon seeing Zhu Jun's imposing fiery phoenix, Jessica neither dodged nor avoided it, and was instead struck squarely by the fire phoenix.

Boom!!!

Flames exploded, and fire shot into the sky.

The boundless flames instantly engulfed Jessica's figure completely.

The scorching heat even triggered the protective energy shield at the edge of the arena, causing ripples to spread.

"Hit!"

"Very good!"

Some students couldn't help but cheer again, eager to see Jessica burned and battered.

However, the powerful senior students admitted through special admissions and the high-ranking officials of the Demon Sea University on the platform had solemn expressions and stared silently at the area on the arena shrouded in flames.

Zhu Jun, who initiated the attack, also had a solemn expression, showing no excitement whatsoever for hitting Jessica.

As the flames subsided, the area that had been obscured by the raging fire gradually became clear.

Jessica remained standing proudly in place, her white jade dragon scales shimmering with a magnificent luster under the firelight, completely unharmed.

Even the small section of the arena beneath his feet remained intact thanks to the protection of the dragon scales, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding areas that were slightly reddened by the heat.

"How is this possible!"

Seeing that Jessica was unharmed, the smiles on the faces of the cheering students froze instantly, and they stared in disbelief at Jessica after she had become a half-dragon.

Jessica thoroughly enjoyed the changes in the expressions of the students from Magic Sea University. Her pale golden vertical pupils looked at Zhu Jun, whose expression had become three times more serious, with disdain, and she grinned.

"Is this your strongest attack? It's not even worthy of tickling me!"

"After transforming into a dragon, I have a great immunity to elemental abilities. Your flames cannot even shake the layer of dragon scales protecting my body."

"You've made your move, now it's my turn!"

Before she could finish speaking, Jessica's figure suddenly blurred.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Zhu Jun felt a blur before his eyes, and a gust of evil wind rushed towards him, startling him greatly.

However, before he could make any effective defensive or evasive maneuvers, Jessica's attack had already arrived.

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled thud, Jessica's dragon-scale-covered fist landed squarely on Zhu Jun's chest.

What appears to be a casual strike contains terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks.

The moment it touched Zhu Jun, it dented Zhu Jun's chest and ripped a large hole in his clothes.

"puff--!"

Zhu Jun was struck as if by a heavy hammer. His eyes bulged out instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, tracing an arc before crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena more than ten meters away.
