Chapter 204 How could you be so strong?!
Huo Yuhao opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings.
Towering trees block out the sun, vines entwine, and shrubs grow in abundance. Sunlight filters through layers of leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
He glanced around and saw no one in sight; they must have been randomly scattered throughout the "training ground."
He then dispersed his spiritual energy, which rapidly spread outwards.
The training ground is not very large; compared to the vast map of the Spirit Ascension Platform, it is more like a meticulously designed arena.
With Huo Yuhao's current mental strength, he easily enveloped the entire area under his mental detection, and everything around him was clearly presented in his mind.
This place is similar to the Spirit Ascension Platform; it's a primeval forest, but there's not a trace of soul beasts here.
However, Huo Yuhao's mental power had already detected many students in the class.
Some hid in the bushes, some had begun searching for their companions, and some had even started fighting.
Huo Yuhao stood still and smiled.
Because he had already sensed that Gu Yue was heading in his direction.
Before long, Gu Yue appeared in front of Huo Yuhao.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on her, her long black hair swayed gently in the breeze, and her purple eyes shone brightly in the dappled light.
On her way there, she actually encountered some reckless people who dared to attack her.
This arrogant fool, seeing Gu Yue all alone, thought he had found an easy target and couldn't wait to jump out.
As a result, he couldn't even withstand one of Gu Yue's attacks, and the battle ended in an instant.
Seeing the faint smile on Huo Yuhao's face, Gu Yue rolled her eyes at him, a hint of reproach in her purple eyes.
She then asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Huo Yuhao replied, "Of course I'm laughing at you for bullying people."
Gu Yue snorted: "If I weren't strong, I would be the one being bullied."
She then asked, "What are your thoughts?"
Huo Yuhao knew that Gu Yue was asking about the current assessment. He thought for a moment and slowly said, "I don't plan to take the initiative to attack, but if I encounter a situation like what you just experienced, I don't have the habit of passively taking a beating."
He looked at Gu Yue and asked, "You don't want to be class monitor either?"
Gu Yue nodded: "Same as you, not interested."
Her tone was nonchalant, as if the position of class monitor was worthless in her eyes.
Huo Yuhao then turned his head and glanced to his left, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of trees and landing in a distant direction.
A glint of gold flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Na'er is already fighting with someone. Should we go take a look?"
Gu Yue was naturally very clear about Na'er's strength.
If she and Huo Yuhao don't make a move, no one can hurt her in this training ground.
Therefore, Gu Yue was not worried about Na'er's safety at all; she was sure she would be the class monitor.
However, upon hearing Huo Yuhao's suggestion, Gu Yue slightly curled the corners of her lips and said, "It would be good to go and see what the excitement is like."
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yue walked slowly, passing through forest paths and around towering trees, their pace leisurely as if they were taking a stroll.
They encountered other people along the way, but when they saw that the person was Huo Yuhao, the student's expression changed instantly, and he turned and ran away as if fleeing.
Gu Yue looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled, "It seems no one will make a move against you."
Huo Yuhao said calmly, "That's not necessarily true. There are always people who dare to attack stronger opponents."
The world is never short of courageous people, nor is it short of people who want to challenge the strong.
Gu Yue smiled noncommittally and did not reply.
The two walked for a while longer, passing through a dense thicket of bushes, when suddenly the view opened up before them.
Then, they finally saw Na'er.
However, the scene they were witnessing was truly breathtaking.
Na'er stood in a clearing in the middle of the forest, holding the Silver Dragon Spear.
A proud look crossed her face, and her silver ponytail swayed gently in the breeze.
Her breathing was steady, as if she hadn't used her full strength in the previous battle.
Around Na'er, seven figures lay sprawled about, all in a sorry state.
Clearly, Na'er had just defeated seven of them single-handedly and with ease.
When Huo Yuhao walked over, he saw a male student struggling to prop himself up on the ground, his face full of disbelief.
His eyes widened, and his voice was hoarse and trembling, as if it were being squeezed out from deep in his throat.
"You're not even on the list of young geniuses, how could you be so strong?!"
There was doubt, resentment, and a hint of inexplicable fear in his tone.
The student had long blue hair, and his handsome face looked somewhat "ferocious" at that moment.
Huo Yuhao looked at him and recognized his identity at a glance.
Luo Guixing, whose martial soul is spatial attribute, is a young genius ranked seventeenth on the list of young geniuses, and is known as "Imprisonment".
Although not all child prodigies make the list, those who do are not ordinary people and have their own merits.
On the way from the classroom to the training ground, Luo Guixing used her strong interpersonal skills to win over many people.
So after entering this virtual training ground, Luo Guixing quickly gathered many teammates around her, forming a standard seven-person team.
As the main control soul master and captain, Luo Guixing originally thought that with the advantage of numbers and his carefully coordinated teamwork, he would be able to go all the way in this training ground.
But unexpectedly, just as the team was formed, a silver figure suddenly appeared.
The figure moved with lightning speed and attacked them without saying a word.
Her spear moved like a dragon, flashing silver light, each shot a kill, swift and decisive.
Despite the combined efforts of all seven of them, the gap between the two sides was simply too great.
The silver-haired girl's strength, speed, and reaction were far beyond their comprehension.
They were no match for him at all; they were defeated almost instantly.
From start to finish, it only takes a few breaths.
Luo Guixing, who has always been hailed as a genius, has never been defeated so decisively.
His pride, his self-esteem, and his proud reputation as a genius were shattered at that moment by that silver spear.
This time, not only was the defeat inexplicable, but it was also at the hands of an "unknown nobody".
So he's really broken down now, which is why he's lost his composure like this.
"You place too much faith in the list of young geniuses."
Huo Yuhao's voice came calmly, and he and Gu Yue's figures passed through the woods and appeared in Luo Guixing's sight.
If someone else had said that, Luo Guixing would have had to say something back.
However, Huo Yuhao's statement was based on his strength, so Luo Guixing opened his mouth, his throat bobbed, but ultimately said nothing.
Upon seeing Huo Yuhao appear, Na'er no longer maintained her aloof demeanor.
The aura of arrogance that had just been there vanished instantly, replaced by a lively and charming demeanor unique to young girls.
She immediately put away the Silver Dragon Spear, ran a few steps to Huo Yuhao's side, her silver ponytail swaying happily behind her, her face full of anticipation.
"How about that? Aren't I awesome?"
She held her head high, her eyes sparkling, as if to say, "Praise me!"
Her expression and tone were completely different from her earlier "one against seven" swagger; she was clearly just a little girl waiting to be praised.
Gu Yue was standing to the side when she saw Na'er's appearance and couldn't help but snort.
That snort was full of dissatisfaction and a hint of disgust.
She glared at Na'er, her purple eyes filled with a warning that said, "You better watch yourself," feeling that Na'er's behavior was a disgrace to her.
Na'er, however, didn't care at all. She even stuck out her tongue at Gu Yue with a hint of provocation, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao could only helplessly chime in.
He smiled, gave Na'er a thumbs-up, and praised, "Amazing! Amazing!"
