31: Comparing me to myself? Don't spy on void creatures!

“Instantly killing a Level 15 Demon Elite?”

Upon hearing this, the other three people in the compartment were immediately shocked.

Because in their eyes, Fiends were already very far away from them, and Demon Elite were even more terrifying legends.

But in the compartment, the female Priest named Lin Ke said unhappily,

“Liu Qi, I’m talking about high school students!”

“How could someone who can instantly kill a Level 15 Demon Elite be a high school student? It must be a Demon Suppression Army elite!”

Hearing this, the Level 4 Assassin male named Liu Qi, however, said confidently, “I am talking about a high school student!”

“My uncle participated in today’s Pollution Land pioneering, and he said that big shot is only Level 7, and about the same age as us!”

“But his summoned beast can kill a Blood Bone Demon with one punch!”

“My uncle and the others all call him the ‘Newcomer King’ of the Scout Camp!”

Liu Yang chattered on, his voice growing more and more excited.

Sitting next to Lin Ke, a slightly chubby girl couldn't help but ask,

“Which is stronger, a Blood Bone Demon or a Hell difficulty boss?”

“Does that even need to be said!” Before others could speak, Liu Qi immediately said, “Fiends are much more powerful than magical beasts!”

The Priest female Lin Ke pouted, not refuting, as this was indeed a recognized fact.

“How about that? I told you earlier, this ‘Newcomer King’ big shot is much stronger than Ye Ze!”

As he spoke, Liu Qi unconsciously showed a hint of faint pride, as if that big shot was himself.

After seeing Ye Ze enter Teacher Xia Qing’s compartment, he became even more eager to surpass Ye Ze.

“From now on, I will take that big shot as my direction!”

Lin Ke retorted impolitely, “You? Tsk~”

“Besides, Ye Ze was able to clear the Hell dungeon yesterday, and it’s hard to say how much stronger he’s become today!”

“Maybe Ye Ze can also kill Blood Bone Demons now, and isn’t much worse than that ‘Newcomer King’!”

Liu Qi waved his hand, “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Hearing the dispute here, several students in the adjacent compartment also poked their heads over.

They all started sharing their ‘first-hand information’:

“Ye Ze? He’s far worse than the ‘Newcomer King’ of the Scout Camp!”

“I heard that Newcomer King has already been awarded a medal! He was awarded a medal while only in his third year of high school!”

A bespectacled male from the next compartment lowered his voice mysteriously when he spoke the last sentence.

But the commotion it stirred up was even greater.

In the two compartments, some uninformed students immediately exclaimed, “Awarded a medal? Is that true?”

“My sister is a clerk in the Scout Camp, and she saw it with her own eyes!”

The bespectacled male who had just spoken affirmed, “He received a bronze medal in his third year of high school, personally awarded by the Scout Camp Commander!”

“It is said that the Newcomer King big shot can already kill Level 25 Demon Elite!”

“If it weren’t for him, many more people would have died in the pioneering of the 19th Contaminated Land…”

Upon hearing the detailed explanation, the students couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and several girls even showed expressions of worship.

Even Lin Ke felt at this moment that Ye Ze’s brilliance had been greatly overshadowed.

Liu Qi immediately looked satisfied:

“See, Ye Ze is far worse than the real big shot!”

“The Newcomer King is the idol I, Liu Qi, pursue!”

…

The noisy sounds from the two compartments grew louder and louder.

They even reached Teacher Xia Qing’s compartment.

She sat up helplessly, closed the door and windows of her compartment, and the frosted glass screen significantly improved the sound insulation.

Teacher Xia Qing thought, trying to prevent Ye Ze’s mindset from being affected by others’ words.

In her compartment, there were only she and Ye Ze.

But Ye Ze leaned back in his seat as soon as he came in, covering his face with a baseball cap, utterly silent.

Teacher Xia Qing’s bright almond eyes couldn't help but scrutinize him a few more times:

“Ye Ze’s emotions are so stable?”

“Being compared to others by his classmates, he’s not angry at all?”

Just this alone, he was much calmer than many students she had seen.

In this environment, Ye Ze did not have the habit of deep sleep, so he naturally heard the commotion outside.

But for a moment, his mood was somewhat complex.

Comparing himself to himself…

He didn’t know what to say.

It was like belittling himself, but it also seemed like praising himself…

He simply continued to close his eyes and rest, recovering his physical and mental strength, as he had been in the Pollution Land for an entire day today, which was quite exhausting.

At this moment, the compartment door was suddenly knocked open.

“Knock knock…”

Teacher Xia Qing stood up. Outside the door were a male and a female in guard uniforms, two Third-Order professionals!

“Hello Teacher Teacher Xia Qing, I am Qin City, the Captain of the Qingfeng City Guard.”

“My name is Zhou Huahua, and I’m sort of the Vice Captain!”

The professions and ranks of the two people in front of her surprised Teacher Xia Qing… a Level 30 Gunfighter and a Level 30 Spirit Master!

Every year during the team dungeon, Qingfeng City would send people to escort the students.

But never before had Level 30 professionals been dispatched like this year.

Perhaps sensing Teacher Xia Qing’s surprise, Captain Qin City explained,

“The beasts in the Scarlet Plains have been somewhat restless this year, often attacking humans or city facilities.”

“But don’t worry, our Qingfeng City has already sent people to clear them out…”

“Today, we will escort everyone to ensure no accidents occur!”

Upon hearing the explanation, Teacher Xia Qing immediately felt much more at ease.

She was not a profession skilled in combat, and now with two Third-Order professionals, her pressure along the way was greatly reduced.

“Then I’ll trouble you two…” Teacher Xia Qing said cheerfully.

Seeing that there were still two seats in the compartment, Qin City simply brought Zhou Huahua and prepared to sit down.

Upon seeing Ye Ze resting in his seat, he asked curiously, “This is…?”

But before he could finish his sentence.

Zhou Huahua, who was originally lively and agile, suddenly shivered all over, her face extremely pale, and she tightly pulled Qin City.

Her profession was Spirit Master, allowing her to perceive others on a spiritual level.

But just now, the moment she subconsciously perceived Ye Ze…

It was as if her entire being was pulled into an Endless Void, where darkness, desolation, and fear enveloped her, like a small boat lost in a vast deep sea.

Until a pair of scarlet Compound Eyes appeared in the void, gazing at her.

In just a single breath, her spirit instantly disintegrated.

“Danger…”

Qin City frowned, but found no abnormality whatsoever, “What?”

Zhou Huahua looked at the calm surroundings, then at Ye Ze, who seemed to be in a deep sleep, harmless.

She couldn't help but fall into confusion…

Years later, when Zhou Huahua recalled this memory, she would realize:

In the entire history of humanity, besides Ye Ze, she was the first human to perceive the existence of Void Creatures.

And she also discovered valuable experience: do not easily probe Void Creatures!

This would have epoch-making significance in the future!

Unfortunately, she was currently oblivious to this…
