Chapter 694: Chapter 42 The Broken Law_1

Perhaps it was due to ’that shadow’.

After turning into a cat again, Zheng Qing felt that his skeleton seemed to have grown one size larger — no, not seemed, it really had grown larger.

The black cat, which was originally about the same size as Tuan Tuan, now had to lower its head to see the ears of the fat flower cat, let alone its paws. Zheng Qing estimated that if he stood upright, he would probably be about a meter tall.

This was no longer a black cat.

Even calling it a ’little black tiger’ would not be an exaggeration.

"You monster... stay away! My body can’t even fit half of your face!"

"Where are your clothes? You rogue cat! Where are your clothes? What kind of a grown cat still goes around naked, aren’t you shamed?!"

"Wipe the sleep in your eyes! Don’t pollute others’ eyes!"

Dylan’s dressing mirror was screaming and chastising the big black cat sitting in front of it, regardless of the dangerous glint reflected in the slanting eyes of said cat. It was clueless about how it was only one swipe away from destruction.

Luckily, besides this clamoring dressing mirror, there were two other talking guys in the room.

"Ahem ahem," Dr. Xiao coughed softly, cautiously reminding them before the big black cat went off and smashed the mirror: "I remember that mirror was a birthday present from Dylan’s family...it’s of significant commemorative value."

"Kill the murderer, hurt the thief to offset the crime." Xin Fat Man shook his head as he recited the three rules of punishment. He glanced at the big black cat and muttered: "... Surely, you won’t always be a cat... ruining other people’s stuff means compensating them."

Zheng Qing’s raised paw paused in mid-air, then slowly withdrew.

Two sighs of relief came from behind him.

The dressing mirror came to realize it after all, it seemed to have noticed the threat of the black cat at last, and finally stopped nagging— to be precise, it was startled by the raised paw of the black cat, completely hiding back into the frame, refusing to show its face anymore— eventually, returning the mirror back to its original functionality.

The young student squinted his eyes as he stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the mighty black cat in the mirror, both happy and worried.

What made him happy was, now that he had become so big and so strong, it seemed safer to wander around the campus. Even if he ran into some out-of-control werewolves, zombies, he now had the means to fight back.

What worried him was that he was now so big, he wasn’t sure if he could wander around the campus at will.

Although First University does not prohibit ’non-pet small animals’ from living on the campus, those with large bodies, or certain lethal abilities are strictly forbidden to appear on the campus— such as Zheng Qing’s patrol team had an important task, to push back creatures like Kappas, Fish Wives, Water ghosts from Lin Zhong lake, wild boars, leopards, snakes, etc., who stealthily infiltrated from the Silent Forest along the river— this was for the safety of the students as well as other small animals.

Thinking of it, the black cat lifted its paw, showed its sharp claws, looking at the soft pad and the cold light on the tips of the claws, wondering if it could be classified as a ’dangerous animal’.

’It would be better if the body could get a little smaller.’ the young student muttered in his mind.

Then he felt a tightening sensation throughout his body, his vision swayed for a moment, magic power flowed within his body, and a feeling of being hollowed out arose.

"Damn!"

"What the..."

Two surprised voices sounded faintly from behind.

When Zheng Qing steadied his mind and looked at the dressing mirror again, he almost jumped up to the ceiling out of fright at what he saw reflected in the mirror.

"This size is much more suitable!" The mirror spirit, who had been hiding behind the frame, immediately noticed the change of the black cat, pushed its round fat face back onto the mirror, and seriously added: "..... Now in this state, I can help you plan your image and give accurate suggestions....."

Zheng Qing stared blankly at the image in the mirror, not at all bothered by the ranting dressing mirror.

In the mirror, the big black cat, which was originally over a meter tall, had shrunk to about half a meter without him noticing— just by connecting the dots, the young student immediately understood the logic behind it— he felt like he had discovered a wonderful new trick.

"Ahem!" The black cat raised its paw, brought it to its mouth, pretended to cough twice— ’It would be even better if it could be a little smaller!’ he muttered in his heart, then widened his eyes, staring fixedly at the dressing mirror.

As expected, as the feeling of tightening skin came over again, his sight wavered a bit, and in the blink of an eye, the black cat, which was half a meter tall, had shrunk again, down to about thirty centimeters.

’A little smaller’ ’A little smaller’ ’Smaller, smaller, smaller!’

So, following his thoughts, the black cat’s body kept shrinking, until it was about five to six centimeters tall, it finally could not shrink any further.

Now, when Zheng Qing stood upright, he wasn’t even as tall as the front leg of the fat flower cat— however, the fat cat seemed to be frightened by the rapidly shrinking black cat, its eyes rounded, the long hair on its neck bristling, looking ready to jump onto the desk and run away at any moment.

’Grow big!’ Zheng Qing changed the perspective and started chanting to himself.

As he wished, his sight flickered, and the black cat, which was originally the size of a mouse, suddenly grew larger, swelling up like a balloon. Ten centimeters, fifteen centimeters, thirty centimeters, sixty centimeters, one meter, two meters, until it reached about three meters, almost filling the dormitory to the brim, Zheng Qing only then vaguely felt the ’limit of growth’.

Dylan’s dressing mirror shut its mouth completely when the black cat had grown to two meters and hid back behind the frame again. And the fat flower cat, when the black cat swelled to two meters, leapt onto the bed of Fat Man, burrowed back into the quilt, revealing only half of its head, cautiously staring at the ’unpredictable’ guy.

As for Dr. Xiao and Xin Fat Man, from the moment Zheng Qing’s body started changing, they were just standing there wide-mouthed, frozen, looking like they had lost their senses, completely dumbstruck.

Zheng Qing, however, seemed as if he had discovered a new toy, constantly switching between ’getting bigger’ and ’getting smaller’, until he felt dizzy and was surprised to find that the magic power in his body had nearly been exhausted!

This brought him back to his senses and made him start to feel stunned by his changes.

According to ’Mendel’s Law’, a wizard cannot meet the three conditions of ’stable magic power,’ ’precise transformation,’ and ’independent spirit’ at the same time— meaning that regular transforming wizards shouldn’t be able to experience magic power depletion after transforming.

Now, Zheng Qing had consumed a large amount of magic power in his transformed state, which made him panic a little. He was worried if he might start to show symptoms of ’schizophrenia’ or something similar.
