59: Killing everything is like killing chickens. You can really call me a chicken-killing expert!
At this moment,
In the Spectator Assembly Hall,
The principals were as green as fresh recruits, watching Han Lie's score continuously surge, like watching a stock market index turn red. Their emotions were turbulent and hard to describe.
Ten thousand points?
Is this even human?!
What does ten thousand points even mean?
"If I remember correctly, the student ranked 20,000th last year had exactly 10,000 points, which was just enough to pass the cutoff for the first batch of Martial Arts Universities...!!" A Principal said, stunned.
"What the heck?"
Someone gasped, "Meaning, right now, at this very moment!! The exam has only just started, less than an hour has passed, and Han Lie... can already get into the first batch of Martial Arts Universities?!"
"Yes!"
The person who spoke earlier nodded slightly, swallowing at the same time, finding this fact too terrifying.
You have to understand, the goal for students in regular classes, after twelve hours of effort, is to exceed 10,000 points. And this goal was casually achieved by Han Lie while he was just traveling!
No, wait!
Students in the Experimental Class usually get some basic points along the way. You, on the other hand, just casually completed someone else's Martial Exam goal, didn't you?
It's just that the students can't see the scores.
Otherwise,
A good number of people would definitely have their Dao hearts collapse.
"This..."
Hard to express, hard to describe.
Only one word can express their feelings.
"What the f*ck?"
The tone was one of utter disbelief.
"How did he do that?"
Coincidentally,
Just as everyone was racking their brains, the main perspective of the live stream switched back to Han Lie. Note, this was an unprecedented first; in the past few hundred years, there had never been a precedent of focusing the view on the same person like this.
No one was bothered by this anymore.
Even the Principals of other schools, who were essentially in competition with Fengtian No. 3 Middle School where Han Lie was,
But no Principal was debating why Han Lie was receiving so much attention!!
Because they were also incredibly curious!!
Then, the scene appeared on the screen.
They saw a pack of evolved wolves appearing ahead. Their exact size was unclear under the shroud of rain and fog, and the Principals couldn't help but feel their moods become tense.
Clearly, they were still watching Han Lie in the scene with the same concern they'd have for a student. Such a large pack of evolved wolves, combined with the weather affecting visibility, would inevitably lead to a fierce battle.
Could Han Lie handle it?
Immediately after, the facts explained everything.
Han Lie went forward!
Han Lie struck with his Dao!
Han Lie left!
The live stream camera, controlled in real-time by the high-level fierce beast Phantom Sea Bee King, was perhaps also being watched in real-time by this highly intelligent creature.
The camera was very perceptive,
And gave a close-up shot.
Under the rain and fog, it gradually became clear.
Blood flowed on the spot, gathering into a stream,
The source was the corpses covering the entire ground. Counting them, there were probably no less than a dozen evolved wolves cut in half at the waist.
".........Huh?"
In the Assembly Hall, all the Principals, regardless of whether their personalities were calm or erratic, regardless of whether they were over seventy or in their prime, regardless of whether they had returned from the battlefield or had always served in higher education, all wore stunned expressions at this moment.
He... he just killed them?
How does it feel like Han Lie killing these evolved beasts is no different from killing wild chickens at the village entrance?!
Is this even reasonable?!
Let alone them, even Huo Kun, who knew Han Lie best, widened his eyes, thinking, 'How did this monstrous kid become even more monstrous!!'
Half a month ago,
He couldn't do this, could he?
You know, these were over a dozen evolved wolves, whose strength was basically equivalent to students in the regular class, meaning Han Lie's previous level, well, maybe a tiny bit stronger.
In other words,
In the time it takes to pee, Han Lie killed over a dozen past versions of himself?
"What the f*ck!!"
The Old Principal compared him to Xin Yao and found that even the long-famous Goddess of War couldn't be this clean and decisive.
Han Lie, became stronger again.
...........
At this point,
No one was analyzing Han Lie's Dao strikes, movements, or vital energy circulation anymore, because everyone realized his performance was the same as when he killed chickens before, only the target had changed.
Alas, no!!
These are evolved wolves!!!!
How can you kill them like killing chickens!!
The principals really struggled to keep it together, because it made their previous analyses look like a joke.
Obviously, if Han Lie's previous labels like 'second body tempering', 'slightly skilled in Dao', 'understands wild chickens', etc., were true, he absolutely couldn't kill wolves like killing chickens.
He was much stronger than they imagined!!
................
"Huo Kun, where did this Han Lie pop out from? How come we've never heard of him before!" Someone couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this, everyone looked over. Logically, they shouldn't be unaware of such a powerful student.
Could he be a transfer student from a more developed region?
"Hahahaha, no, no!"
Huo Kun was secretly overjoyed (+10086), unable to hold back anymore, his joy now openly displayed. "The child's talent hadn't shown itself before. It was only after the vital energy test that clues appeared. As it turns out, he was always a student in the regular class!"
"...Huh?"
Everyone's mouths were wide with surprise, as if they could swallow an egg. A student from the regular class counter-attacking to become the city's number one in the national Martial Exam? Are you writing a novel?
"Don't believe it?"
Huo Kun's smile grew. "If you don't believe me, ask the Principal of Fifth High School. Han Lie fought against their school's students before. Wasn't his strength less than half as terrifying as it is now?"
"......"
Unaccountably called out, Principal Li Qingshan of Fifth High School didn't know what sin he had committed to suffer like this.
His good upbringing made him nod slightly.
He spoke truthfully:
"Yes, Han Lie's physical fitness was very strong at that time, but honestly, there was nothing else remarkable about him. And now, as you can see, he's so strong he doesn't seem human!"
"Hiss—"
Everyone gasped. They all knew Li Qingshan's steady character. For such a person to say someone was 'so strong he doesn't seem human', the cognitive shock must be immense.
Perhaps the floodgates of conversation had opened,
Li Qingshan continued:
"Actually, I've been keeping an eye on this child. During the month of the previous trial, he was always killing chickens at the entrance. I didn't understand it, couldn't comprehend it, and even wanted to act like a mentor. Now it seems I was wrong..."
"What?"
Someone caught the keyword.
"Ah... I finally remember who this child is. The 'chicken-killing expert' that was rumored before, that's him, right?"
"Hahahaha, yes!"
Huo Kun admitted it generously. For the past month, this was definitely not a good term, but at this moment, right now, a chicken-killing expert *is* an expert, because all things are like chickens!!
"No wonder..."
While still in shock, the principals expressed that they could understand some things now. "No wonder Han Lie kept encountering mutated beasts. This guy spent a month roaming in the low and Middle Zones. Of course he's extremely familiar with them!"
"It's over!" Suddenly, the Principal of the Provincial Experiment High School clapped his hands. Seeing that everyone didn't understand, he smiled with relief. "Just now, I racked my brain to find a comforting reason for myself."
It was—"Han Lie is strong, but I have to say he's very lucky. Other top students could also have this kind of strength, they just don't have the chance to encounter so many evolved beasts."
Damn it,
That's what I just thought!!
Good thing I didn't say it out loud, I almost got slapped in the face! This kid, you're really a freak!!
How can a student from the Experimental Class be so familiar with the low-level zones? It's absurd!"
"Hahahahaha, Old Zhao!"
At the Provincial Experiment Principal's self-deprecating admission, everyone burst into laughter. After all, they were happy to see such a strong student emerge.
Because,
These high-level figures all knew that the war against the Universe of Myriad Races was never something they could accomplish individually; it required the unity of the entire race.
They were happy to see stronger geniuses appear. Of course, this didn't mean they had no selfish motives; if a genius appeared in another region, they would also feel envious.
But Han Lie was from Fengtian, and they were all facing the same Mystic Realm!
Where you sit determines what you think; perspective determines mindset.
So, a question arose,
A Principal casually asked:
"Doesn't that mean Han Lie basically hasn't spent much time inside the Mystic Realm? Then... can he maintain his leading position?"
This sentence triggered everyone's thought.
In the scene,
Han Lie had already stepped into the Mystic Realm.
