162: If the next nine punches don’t kill you, I’m leaving!

Zhu Xiao's roar traveled a great distance.

Ye Ze couldn't help but glance sideways, "Is it my turn now?"

At this moment, Zhu Xiao's body was covered in a layer of blood-red, and two armored plates protruded from his forehead.

Duan Tianchen, standing opposite him, looked exceptionally grim.

"Prepare to intervene!" The Teacher, seeing Zhu Xiao's state, couldn't help but let out a low cry, feeling a touch of resentment in his heart.

"Did this little guy forget it's an exam? Seriously injuring Duan Tianchen would be troublesome."

"Judging by the aura Zhu Xiao is displaying right now, he might have a chance to win the championship in this college entrance exam!"

"Beast Blood Warrior absorbing Dragon Blood, although the process is difficult and dangerous, the benefits are extremely high! The destructive power is even stronger!"

The other Teachers exclaimed, their bodies unconsciously tensing up as if facing a formidable enemy.

Although this arena would not cause fatalities, the severity of injuries could affect an individual's future development, and no one wanted excellent examinees to be severely wounded.

Ye Ze frowned slightly and murmured to himself, "Dragon Blood? It seems he was provoked last time!"

Although the power Zhu Xiao displayed at the moment was formidable, it was merely formidable.

It was even far inferior to the Squirrel's combat power.

A red light flashed in Zhu Xiao's eyes, and then his body suddenly appeared before Duan Tianchen. Duan Tianchen instinctively raised his hand to block, but was directly sent flying.

"Zhu Xiao wins! Zhu Xiao's team advances to the finals!"

Duan Tianchen's face was pale. Just a brief contact had severely injured him. Seeing Zhu Xiao's growth, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The Teacher who had intervened earlier also couldn't help but change his expression. He was a Fourth-Tier powerhouse, and forcibly taking Zhu Xiao's blow had made his arm numb.

Zhu Xiao's lips curved slightly upward.

He arrogantly scanned the entire venue.

For a moment, the eyes of dozens of Teachers present couldn't help but show admiration. Zhu Xiao's four teammates were all invigorated by the sight.

Wu Ming stood up, his gaze sweeping across the venue: "Everyone has performed very well. I announce, the finals will begi..."

As he was speaking, he seemed to see something and changed his words:

"A break will begin now, the finals will be held in ten minutes!"

Zhu Xiao, who had been full of momentum and ready to win the finals in one fell swoop, suddenly stifled his breath upon hearing this.

Everyone else was also caught off guard by Wu Ming's sudden change of announcement.

Following his gaze, the previously stern-faced Wu Ming was now walking off the stage with a smile.

"Awake now? Do you want to participate directly?" Wu Ming asked Ye Ze with a smile.

Ye Ze understood his intention. Although he had missed the entry time for the college entrance exam, whether he could participate or not was just a matter of Wu Ming's word, wasn't it?

After all, Ye Ze's strength was recognized. As long as he was willing, everything would be fine.

"Forget it!" Ye Ze shook his head, directly refusing.

After all, if he were to participate in the college entrance exam, it would be absolutely unfair to the others.

Even Sixth-Tier masters were slaughtered like vegetables before him, and to be with these little brats...

Hmm, although Ye Ze was the same age as them, his realm was already different.

Wu Ming wasn't too surprised by Ye Ze's refusal. Instead, he said with a smile:

"Thanks to your contribution, we've provided an extraordinary reward for this college entrance exam!"

After speaking, Wu Ming cleared his throat and said with a smile, "The rewards for this team competition are very generous. The first place gets a Legendary 7☆ equipment! Second place gets five Legendary 4☆ equipment!"

Looking at Wu Ming's inexperienced expression, Ye Ze subconsciously looked at the Legendary set equipment on his Summoner...

However, judging solely by the generosity of the rewards for this college entrance exam, they were indeed very generous!

"Are the inheritances of the Lionheart Kingdom and the Free Empire that rich?" Ye Ze asked with some surprise.

Wu Ming shook his head slightly, instead revealing a look of disdain:

"They are simply pitifully poor!

All these equipment were crafted by our artisans!

The materials from the Star Spirit World, both in terms of richness and strength, are beyond our imagination!"

Looking at Wu Ming's nouveau riche expression, Ye Ze couldn't help but find it a little funny.

However, this also showed that the resources from the other world were extremely helpful for the development of Blue Star!

With the emergence of the Star Spirit World, the massive output of Legendary equipment forging materials would undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of Huaxia. This was something to be happy about.

"Forget it! I just came to watch!"

Ye Ze still shook his head and refused. With his strength, entering the arena now would simply be bullying!

Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a little disappointed seeing that Ye Ze truly wasn't willing to make a move.

These favored children of heaven were usually incredibly arrogant, always feeling like they were the best in the world, unaware that compared to Ye Ze, they were undoubtedly like a firefly next to a bright moon.

However, at this moment.

Zhu Xiao had seen Ye Ze when Wu Ming walked past.

Seeing Ye Ze and Wu Ming chatting happily, he immediately took a step forward, and his booming voice resounded in the arena: "Ye Ze! You've finally appeared!"

Zhu Xiao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. Clenching his fists, he took another step forward: "I've missed you so much!"

Looking at his gritted teeth, Ye Ze pouted:

"I'm not interested in men!"

Just kidding, Zhu Xiao was burly, especially after absorbing Dragon Blood, he became even more rugged. Of course, even if he were as delicate as Chu River, it wouldn't work.

Although Ye Ze's voice wasn't as booming as Zhu Xiao's, it was heard clearly, instantly eliciting laughter.

Zhu Xiao's face flushed red: "Stop talking nonsense with me here! Dare to fight!"

Seeing Zhu Xiao's confident expression, Ye Ze shook his head. Let alone Zhu Xiao absorbing Dragon Blood, even if he absorbed the blood of an ancient fierce beast, it would be useless.

Ye Ze didn't even have the desire to make a move.

Seeing Ye Ze shake his head in refusal, in Liu Anran's team in the distance, Luo Yao couldn't help but stick out her tongue slightly, looking as if she had just escaped a disaster, and said, "Good thing he's not making a move!"

Liu Anran couldn't help but turn her head and glance at her: "What? So little confidence in yourself?"

Luo Yao couldn't help but recall the scene in the Star Spirit World where Ye Ze crushed the Lieyang Tribe of the Barbarian Race...

Let alone their team, even all the people in the entire training ground combined probably couldn't harm a single... hair on Ye Ze!

But saying this might discourage Liu Anran, so she smoothly hooked Liu Anran's arm, swaying gently as if pouting:

"It's fine to fight normal people, why bother with a pervert!"

After speaking, Luo Yao glanced in Ye Ze's direction. He probably couldn't hear that!

Liu Anran ignored Luo Yao, her gaze fixed on Ye Ze in the distance, and the corners of her mouth curved into an arc.

Zhu Xiao's face suddenly darkened when he saw Ye Ze ignoring him.

At this moment, within Zhu Xiao's team, Cold Maple stepped forward and looked at Ye Ze, saying confidently, "I've seen your Panda! Its strength is nothing special!"

It's worth noting that Cold Maple, the Armored Warrior from the original Liu Anran team, has now joined Zhu Xiao's team.

Cold Maple and Zhu Xiao, in a way, could be considered fated.

Both of them had five Legendary equipment snatched by Ye Ze in the training camp...

However, Cold Maple's armor has now been upgraded from Epic to Legendary quality, and his strength has increased significantly along with his confidence.

It's just a pity that the 'Panda' Cold Maple saw...

was the 'Panda' he saw in Chu River's painting in the examination hall.

Little did he know, this painted 'Panda' not only lacked Legendary skills, but its strength was not even one percent of the Panda's current strength.

Ye Ze originally didn't want to bother, but hearing Cold Maple's taunt, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Wu Ming looked at Cold Maple with satisfaction.

This little guy, being able to pilot an armored suit, was indeed a good battlefield harvester, but compared to his strength, his taunting ability was very precise.

Wu Ming's idea was simple: to push Ye Ze forward and make him a spiritual leader for the young generation.

Especially in this era, the presence of a spiritual leader would undoubtedly ignite the passion of more young people.

Ye Ze looked at Cold Maple... why taunt anything else, but the Panda's strength?

"Alright." Ye Ze looked into the arena, nodding happily, "Then I'll give you this chance!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming immediately cleared his throat: "A special additional match will now be held: Ye Ze versus Zhu Xiao's team!"

Wu Ming knew Ye Ze's temper too well, so he didn't waste any more words and directly announced the additional match.

This method was undoubtedly against the rules, but Wu Ming didn't give anyone else a chance to react, turning to walk aside, looking as if he was about to watch a good show.

Ye Ze slowly walked towards the stage.

A glint of excitement flashed in Zhu Xiao's eyes. He turned and exchanged glances with Cold Maple. The time for revenge had come!

Thinking of the last time they were beaten by Ye Ze in the training camp, how could their proud hearts endure it? What were they fighting so hard for?

It was all for the sake of stepping on Ye Ze today!

"Ye Ze, I won't give you any chance today!" Zhu Xiao pounded his fist, laying down a harsh threat.

Cold Maple narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Ye Ze, I'll make you understand that your Panda can no longer be your reliance! I will personally shatter it!"

Ye Ze pouted.

These two guys, so much resentment!

"Is that so? Why does that make me a little excited!" Ye Ze chuckled, clearly not taking their threats seriously.

After all, only a minority of people present knew Ye Ze, as the Star Spirit World was currently the highest secret of human society, and information about it had not spread.

Moreover, Ye Ze was relatively low-key. Although reports of his medal award had spread, not many people knew what Ye Ze looked like. Even if there were people with the same name, probably no one would connect a high school student with a rising new star of humanity.

"What does Chief Wu mean by this? Is he really letting this kid fight Zhu Xiao's entire team?"

"Could it be that Chief Wu has some deep grudge against this young man?"

Clearly, no one was optimistic about Ye Ze.

Ye Ze ignored the noisy sounds below the stage and instead waved his hand to summon the Panda.

The Panda's form had undergone a significant change since it advanced to Martial God. It looked very majestic and imposing, and even without unleashing its aura, it left a deep impression.

"So he's a Summoner! It seems this Ye Ze has quite a background!"

As is well known, the Summoner is the most expensive profession.

It's not impossible for a Summoner to fight a team, after all, once a Summoner reaches a certain level, he can challenge an army alone.

Zhu Xiao looked at the Panda with cold eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved into an arc.

Luo Yao felt something was off when she saw the Panda. Now the Panda looked much more imposing. It seemed Ye Ze must have gained something new in the Star Spirit World.

And the one who perceived the Panda's strength most clearly was undoubtedly Chu River, as he had copied the Panda and knew its strength too well. Yet, now the Panda made it impossible for him to even use his Painter ability!

An existence that couldn't be copied, what kind of realm was this?

Ye Ze looked at Zhu Xiao and Cold Maple, his arms crossed, his expression leisurely:

"If the Panda can't kill you both in the next nine punches, I'll admit defeat!"

Zhu Xiao was not to be outdone: "If I can't smash your Panda in the next nine punches, we'll admit defeat too!"

"Good!" Cold Maple echoed, at this moment, their momentum absolutely couldn't be lost!

Wu Ming slowly raised his hand: "Additional match, begin!"

Concise and to the point, Zhu Xiao, who had been waiting, instantly erupted with a reddish blood aura, making him look as if his entire being was burning.

Having already made his threats, Zhu Xiao was determined to shock everyone this time! To make everyone understand one thing: he, Zhu Xiao, was the most powerful existence among this year's new students!

Cold Maple also summoned his armored suit the moment Wu Ming announced the start.

Clearly, Cold Maple's armored suit had undergone significant improvements and enhancements compared to before. It looked more angular and powerful, and with the all-metal energy cannons embedded in the armor, it undoubtedly enhanced its close-combat capabilities.

The rest of Zhu Xiao's team also immediately brought out their trump cards and rushed towards the Panda.

Ye Ze shook his head.

The Panda slowly stood up, performing a gentle Cloud Hand move, seemingly unremarkable, even just an opening stance.

But at the moment the Cloud Hand paused, a punch was unleashed.

The sky darkened, as if only the blue light of that Cloud Hand remained.

The near-burning blood aura on Zhu Xiao's body instantly shattered.

Zhu Xiao's eyes widened instantly, in disbelief!

Even his clothes became tattered, his internal blood aura was instantly destroyed, and he was sent flying backward.

"My armor!!!"

At the same time, Cold Maple's domineering Legendary armored suit instantly shattered!

One punch!

The crowd, who had been waiting for an exciting fight, suddenly felt as if their throats were squeezed, and the arena instantly fell silent!

Zhu Xiao fell backward onto the stage, his eyes blank, not even reacting when Cold Maple crashed onto him.

Lost... lost?!

Just like that?

Luo Yao, watching from a distance, covered her face with her hands, as if she couldn't bear to see their miserable state.

The audience was even moreboiling.

"Is this, is this the strength a peer should have?"

"So terrifying! I feel like the sky was almost smashed by that punch!"

"Ye Ze! Ye Ze!"

More and more people reacted, shouting loudly.

Ye Ze smiled lightly. Now, this could be considered vindicating the Panda. As for Zhu Xiao and the others, one could only say that if they didn't seek death, they wouldn't die. This guy deserved it.

Wu Ming was not surprised by this at all.

"The next final will be Ye Ze versus Liu Anran's team!" Wu Ming's voice echoed throughout the venue.

Liu Anran's team of five froze.

Luo Yao, who had been looking regretful, instantly widened her eyes, her mouth slightly ajar, her expression bewildered:

"???"

"I'm fighting Ye Ze?"
