179: Chapter 179 Whose mascot is two levels higher than the main character?

He looked down in terror.

"Class F freshman, Bai Lan."

"Phew..."

Seeing that the name wasn't Jiang You, Zhang Kuang felt like he had just ridden a roller coaster; he had almost pissed himself in fear just now.

"Scared the crap out of me... So it's just that mascot."

Zhang Kuang patted his chest, his face showing the wild joy of surviving a disaster, and even a hint of a cruel grin.

"Hahahaha!"

"Heaven is helping me! Heaven is truly helping me!"

"That bastard Jiang You went off to chat and sent this little brat to her death?"

"Everyone in Class F deserves to die! Since I can't beat that monster, I'll take my anger out on you, the mascot!"

"Even though you're just a little girl, for the sake of my promotion, you can only blame your bad luck!"

Grinning savagely, Zhang Kuang casually glanced at the data panel behind Bai Lan's name.

He hadn't cared at first.

A freshman would be at most Peak Second-Order, or at the absolute best, early Third-Order.

In front of a Fourth-Order powerhouse like him, crushing her would be as easy as using a single finger.

However.

When his gaze finally focused on the [Power Level] column...

The savage grin on Zhang Kuang's face instantly froze, as if flash-frozen by liquid nitrogen.

His eyes widened bit by bit, until they were almost popping out of their sockets.

On the pale blue light screen, a line of data was written that was enough to make him question his life:

[Blue Side]: Class F, Bai Lan (Freshman)

[Realm]: Peak Fourth-Order +

(Note: This value is the current detection limit of the system, not the contestant's true limit. Recommendation: Run!)

Dead silence.

Inside the cramped combat cabin, only Zhang Kuang's heavy breathing, like a broken bellows, remained.

He rubbed his eyes hard, thinking he was hallucinating from being beaten by Jiang You earlier.

He looked again.

It was still that eye-searing [Peak Fourth-Order +]!

That "+" sign was so red it was almost purple, as if mocking his ignorance.

"P-Peak Fourth-Order... Plus?"

"System detection limit?"

Zhang Kuang's brain exploded with a loud buzz.

His early Fourth-Order level was nothing but a complete joke in front of her!

Moreover, what did this data mean?

It meant that the sensors of this virtual combat cabin couldn't detect the depth of this little girl's power at all!

"This is a fucking mascot?"

"Whose mascot is two whole major realms higher than their main player?!"

"What kind of dragon's den is this Class F anyway?"

"One King of Hell leaves, and a fucking Tai Sui arrives?"

"I'm not fighting anymore!!"

Zhang Kuang let out a desperate cry and reached out to press the [Emergency Exit] button.

However,

it was too late.

[Battle Start!]

The scene instantly shifted.

Zhang Kuang's vision blurred, and he found himself standing in a desolate desert map.

Ten meters opposite him,

that harmless-looking little girl with twin tails and a pink dress was tilting her head, looking at him.

She still had the half-eaten lollipop in her mouth, and her two fluffy fox ears twitched.

"Eh?"

Bai Lan blinked her big eyes and muttered with some disappointment:

"Why is it a tin can?"

"It looks so hard, it doesn't seem tasty at all."

After speaking, she sighed in slight disgust, casually took the lollipop out of her mouth, and then...

slowly raised her small, pink fist.

"Oh well, Big Brother said we're in a hurry."

"So... I'll use just a tiny bit of force."

Boom!!!

As she finished speaking,

a terrifying demonic qi carrying the aura of the ancient primeval era, even more horrifying than the one on Jiang You earlier, instantly erupted from her petite body!

In that instant,

Zhang Kuang felt as if he were looking not at a little girl,

but a sky-blotting Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, opening its bloody maw and giving him a "nuclear-friendly" smile.

"Th-this... this is Class F's mascot?"

Inside the virtual battlefield, the desolate desert.

The wind whipped up the sand, carrying a hint of dry heat.

Zhang Kuang looked at the exquisite, doll-like Bai Lan in front of him, who was raising her small, pink fist at him, while that terrifying [Peak Fourth-Order +] still echoed in his mind.

"Wait! Um... Junior! Let's talk this out!"

Zhang Kuang chickened out, completely chickened out.

Facing Jiang You, he had no choice; he was forced into it.

But facing this "mascot" of unknown depth, he really didn't want to ruin his very last chance!

"I didn't say I wanted to fight either! I'll withdraw right now..."

However, Bai Lan tilted her head, her big eyes filled with innocence and confusion.

"Withdraw? Big Brother said that when we meet bad guys, we can't let them run away."

"And..."

Bai Lan glanced at the lollipop in her hand, looking a bit aggrieved.

"The way you looked at me just now made it seem like you wanted to steal my lollipop."

"Bad guy!"

Boom—!

There were no fancy movements, nor were there any cool spiritual skill light effects.

Bai Lan simply took a step forward, and then that soft-looking little hand lightly "pushed" against Zhang Kuang's heavy metal armor.

"Whoosh!"

This push seemed to displace the air of the entire space.

A visible transparent ripple instantly exploded outward, centered on Bai Lan's tiny hand!

"Crack!!!"

It was the sound of metal shattering, crisp like a cracking eggshell.

Zhang Kuang didn't even have time to scream; he only felt an overwhelming, mountain-toppling force instantly penetrate his entire body.

His proud Fourth-Order [Diamond Body], in front of this push, was like a block of tofu placed under a hydraulic press.

It shattered instantly!

Immediately after, his entire body was like a baseball hit for a home run, directly turning into a shooting star and vanishing past the desert horizon at a speed that defied the laws of physics.

[System Judgment: Blue Side Wins!]

[Time Elapsed: 3 seconds!]

[System Note: Energy overflow detected... Repairing the field...]

...

Real world, Seed Pool No. 2.

Dead silence.

Once again, dead silence.

Everyone stared at the two combat cabins that opened almost simultaneously.

Bai Lan hopped out, slung her backpack filled with a fortune over her shoulders, and easily stuffed the lollipop back into her mouth.

"All done! Big Brother, let's go!"

On the other side,

Zhang Kuang didn't crawl out.

He was carried out by medical personnel.

His eyes were wide open, staring blankly at the ceiling. Foaming at the mouth, his fingers twitched unconsciously, as if he had seen some unspeakable, great terror.

This single strike had not only crushed his mindset but had also directly left him in a state of mental daze.

The senior main player of Class A, the Fourth-Order powerhouse Zhang Kuang, thus bid a permanent farewell to this selection trial.

*Gulp...*

From somewhere in the surrounding crowd, someone swallowed hard.

Those who had originally thought that Class F only had one monster in Jiang You now felt a chill run down their spines.

That little girl...

That loli who looked like she only knew how to eat snacks...

was actually a monster in human skin as well?

Just what kind of god-like beings were in Class F?
