41: Real-world testing, life or death is no object!

Inside the private room, Qin Yu had, at some unknown point, returned to stand before Zhao Yuanming and Xu Ziliang.

However, this time, the look in Qin Yu's eyes as he regarded Zhao Yuanming was no longer as calm as an ancient well; instead, it flickered with traces of danger.

It was true that Qin Yu didn't care about others mocking him.

But that absolutely didn't mean Qin Yu could tolerate repeated provocations!

Especially now, Zhao Yuanming had even summoned his pet beast to attack him!

One must know, even if this Level 4 Red Armored Lizard was like an ant in Qin Yu's current eyes, posing no threat to him whatsoever.

But what if his class really was just an E-rank Mechanist?

And what if Teacher Xu hadn't stopped it immediately?

He probably would have been severely injured by just one attack from that Red Armored Lizard.

And this, clearly, had touched Qin Yu's reverse scale!

"You..." Qin Yu's sudden utterance startled Zhao Yuanming, but subconsciously, he still wanted to continue taunting Qin Yu.

However, after meeting Qin Yu's cold gaze,

for some reason, Zhao Yuanming felt an icy chill run down his spine.

So much so that the words on the tip of his tongue were stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken.

But soon, Zhao Yuanming recovered.

And after completely calming down, he ignored Qin Yu.

First, he bowed his head and apologized to Xu Ziliang.

"Teacher Xu, I was impulsive just now..."

After a thoroughly insincere apology,

although Xu Ziliang knew it was merely an act, the anger on his face eventually dissipated quite a bit.

His intention to pursue the matter also faded.

After all, both Zhao Yuanming and Qin Yu were his students.

And tomorrow was the College Entrance Examination... He really didn't want this incident to cause Zhao Yuanming to fail the College Entrance Examination tomorrow, thereby affecting Zhao Yuanming's entire life.

Therefore, after a moment of contemplation, Xu Ziliang spoke again in a deep voice: "Alright, as a combat-class Class Changer, you impulsively tried to attack Qin Yu in a public place."

"That was entirely your fault."

"Go apologize to Qin Yu and promise not to cause him trouble again."

"Otherwise..."

Having said this, Xu Ziliang didn't continue, but everyone understood the implication.

Upon hearing Xu Ziliang's words, Zhao Yuanming's heart secretly rejoiced... What he feared most was completely enraging Xu Ziliang, which would in turn affect his College Entrance Examination.

As long as Xu Ziliang didn't intend to pursue the matter further, although apologizing to Qin Yu was truly unacceptable to him... he thought that Qin Yu was, after all, just an E-rank Mechanist.

And as long as he got through the College Entrance Examination in the next two days,

and successfully enrolled in a university,

he would have ample time and opportunity to seek trouble with Qin Yu.

"Hmph, Qin Yu, I'll let you be smug for two days. I hope you can still be this tough after the College Entrance Examination."

Thinking this, Zhao Yuanming still felt incredibly disgusted.

But he had no choice. After replying to Xu Ziliang, he looked at Qin Yu again... However, just as he was wondering how to speak,

Qin Yu spoke again: "No need for an apology."

Just one sentence surprised everyone present, including Xu Ziliang and Nie Yuxi, who hadn't spoken a word the entire time.

"What does he mean, no need to apologize?"

"Ah? Is this still the Qin Yu I know? Could it be that Qin Yu realized that with his current strength, he can no longer provoke Zhao Yuanming, so he doesn't dare to make Zhao Yuanming apologize?"

"That shouldn't be the case. If so, why did he mock Zhao Yuanming like that just now?"

"…"

As for everyone's curiosity, Qin Yu didn't keep them in suspense at all.

He immediately continued:

"I heard your class is an A-rank Beast Tamer? And you want to apply to a first-tier academy?"

"How about this, don't you think I'm trash?"

"I remember that after the liberal arts and comprehensive ability tests are finished the day after tomorrow afternoon, during the combat assessment, you can specify an opponent, right?"

"At that time, how about we have a match?"

"Life or death, what do you say?"

Qin Yu's tone was calm, his voice cold, and after his words fell, the atmosphere in the entire private room completely solidified... In the era of universal Class Changers, the College Entrance Examination in Dragon Country naturally didn't just test cultural knowledge like in Qin Yu's previous life.

On the contrary, liberal arts accounted for a very small proportion of the entire College Entrance Examination process.

The main events were generally the comprehensive ability assessment and the combat assessment.

And in the combat assessment, although Examiners generally required not to deliberately inflict serious injuries on opponents, nor to harm their lives... if both parties had the will for a life-or-death battle,

this was also permitted!

After all, with the entire nation valuing martial arts, merely suppressing violence would only foster greater violence.

Inside the private room, there was complete silence!

It was a good while later before Zhao Yuanming finally reacted, then looked at Qin Yu with an absurd expression and said:

"You're saying that in the combat assessment the day after tomorrow, you want to have a life-or-death battle with me?"

What a joke, his class was an A-rank combat-class!

And Qin Yu? He was just an E-rank lifestyle-class, a Mechanist?

The difference in strength... couldn't even be described by the word "disparate," could it?

In Zhao Yuanming's eyes, Qin Yu wasn't just bringing humiliation upon himself... he was practically courting death!

Thinking this, Zhao Yuanming didn't even consider it; he immediately agreed!

"Good! Qin Yu, you said this yourself!"

"Two days from now, we'll meet in the combat assessment. At that time, life or death!"

"Alright." Seeing Zhao Yuanming agree,

a cold light burst forth in Qin Yu's eyes at that moment.

But he didn't say anything else.

He just waved his hand at Xu Ziliang, who was about to stop their wager, and said:

"Teacher Xu, you don't need to worry about this matter.

"I have my limits."

Afterward, Qin Yu no longer hesitated, turned around, and walked out of the private room.

"Damn, an E-rank lifestyle-class Mechanist challenging an A-rank combat-class Beast Tamer to a life-or-death battle? Qin Yu... he's really gone mad!"

It wasn't until Qin Yu had completely left the private room.

That the other students of the Vanguard Class inside the private room finally reacted.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other.

They only felt that their previous judgment was correct... Qin Yu couldn't handle the blow of falling from grace.

He had completely lost his mind!

Even Xu Ziliang was a bit confused at this moment:

"What is Qin Yu thinking? Does he really intend to fight Zhao Yuanming to the death in the combat assessment?"

However, remembering Qin Yu's performance throughout his three years of high school,

Xu Ziliang naturally couldn't just watch Qin Yu throw his life away like that:

"No, I still have to be there personally!"

"No matter what, I have to stop this wager."

However, just as most people in the private room believed that Qin Yu had gone mad and that Zhao Yuanming would surely win two days later,

a hint of amusement flashed in Nie Yuxi's eyes as she looked at Zhao Yuanming.

At the same time, she had already made a judgment in her heart about whether Qin Yu was the Lin Yu from the Secret Realm!
