Chapter 151

Zhou Qian: "..."

Only someone with absolute confidence and strength would dare to be so reckless and unafraid of offending people.

Fearing Qin Su wouldn't know who he was asking, the speaker deliberately used the title 'Head Class Monitor'.

With the first person speaking out, having witnessed firsthand the tragic situation of the Team 1 Group 1 members inside the Barrier Device, and having never suffered such 'injustice' before, especially the Class of 24 students who were always at the top of the Command Class and, apart from cooperating with the senior students, were responsible for controlling the situation from the rear and far away from danger, they successively raised their voices in agreement.

"Yeah, you're not really part of our Command Class, so this isn't a good idea."

"Of course, we didn't mean anything by it, it's just that the scene was a bit too bloody."

"Yes, we can punish you, but let's do it in a gentler way, okay?"

"I agree, this way everyone will feel better."

[Suddenly I realized that most of the people saying these things were assigned to various classes to be in charge after they chose their classes. They haven't faced danger or been beaten in a long time, no wonder they find it hard to accept.]

[Sure enough, as long as the knife doesn't fall on them, and the mortality rate is kept within the average range while they're giving orders, they won't think there's anything wrong with their command. Now that they have to bear the consequences, they're starting to feel the pain. I thought they didn't know that those who sacrificed their lives didn't feel pain.]

[There's no need for malicious speculation. Life is already painful enough; why would anyone deliberately seek out suffering? Naturally, one should avoid it if possible. Does anyone think everyone is as twisted as Qin Su, enjoying tormenting others?]

[(Winking) They could also choose not to bear the consequences, is it that they don't want to, or that they're incompetent? (doge) Look at He Muzhi, among all the people in Team 1 Group 1, the number of people 'killed' due to his command mistakes was the fewest, he only had to take two hits (hehe)]

[Exactly, just look at the performance of some people in Group 1. They're used to using their teammates as cannon fodder to protect themselves. This shows how often they've done this in actual combat. You didn't expect that, did you? So what if it's the Class of 24? We, the Baby 1, didn't tolerate anyone. We used boomerangs to strike equally and relentlessly.]

Some of the silent students from the Class of 24: "..."

Some people, relying on their high-ranking positions, have gone too far in "turning their backs on others." Didn't we agree in the beginning that we should honor our bets and accept the consequences? It's a bit shameful.

However, the thought that the pain I suffered because of their orders could be 'returned' to me filled me with a strange sense of excitement...

Wait, this also means that if they make a mistake while giving instructions on how to "solve the problem," resulting in injuries or fatalities to other personnel, the "injuries" on the team members will "feedback" to them afterward.

"..."

Thinking of this, the group, who were laughing just a moment ago, stopped laughing now.

The group from Class 66 of Class of 25 really didn't try to pat themselves on the back. In Qin Su's eyes, even a piece of trash couldn't continue to be a lazy bum; if they didn't stand up for themselves, they would "die."

'Qin Su, a devil skilled at balancing power.'

It's so fair they want to die.

Qin Su: "..."

'Here I am.'

Fortunately, he was prepared to be scolded. After hearing the question "Why should I?", he, being easily offended, decisively pretended not to hear and temporarily ignored them, showing no intention of interrupting them.

As some of the Class of 24 cohort members were talking, they noticed that Qin Su remained expressionless, staring intently at the student in Group 1 1 of Team 1 1, showing no intention of paying them any attention.

A one-man show without an 'opponent' is hard to perform. The voices that were originally going back and forth lasted for less than thirty seconds before they unconsciously faded away.

After forty seconds, no one spoke anymore.

Qin Su, who had been staring at the person opposite him with his eyes lowered to hide his 'misheard and dazed' state, noticed that the chattering sounds around him, which he dared not make out clearly, had disappeared. Qin Su quickly pulled his scattered thoughts back and, in the oppressive silence, reminded the Class of Class of 24: "During this time, I'm in charge."

If anyone's to blame, it's them for banning the wrong person—they banned him. Everything they have now is the result of their own 'efforts'.

Class of 24: "..."

Bringing up such an embarrassing incident in front of so many people from the Class of 26 made them seem untrustworthy and shameless.

In the darkness, the Class of 26 graduating class thought about which spot next to them belonged to the Class of 24 class, and their eyes involuntarily turned towards that spot.

Although they can't see it, that doesn't stop them from despising it.

The awkward atmosphere lasted less than three seconds among the Class of 24. Having pierced their hearts, Qin Su pressed on, making his voice sound calm and collected, "Of course, if anyone still finds it hard to accept, they can come up now and prove themselves with their abilities."

In order to achieve the goal of 'deterrence' through concrete actions, Qin Su finished speaking and called out He Muzhi's name, "He Muzhi."

"Yes." He Muzhi understood. The numbness and pain in his body hadn't disappeared yet, and he immediately took a few steps toward Qin Su.

Qin Su glanced at He Muzhi in a suitable position. He threw his weapon in his direction, and at the same time, his gaze shifted from the second person in Group 1 to the red dot on the Optical Brain. He deliberately provoked, "None of the ten classes in the Class of 24 have come up?"

He Muzhi caught the weapon Qin Su threw to him and followed Qin Su's gaze into the darkness.

"..."

Qin Su's night vision is exceptional, unlike him, who can't see anything and therefore sees nothing anyway.

Qin Su's words were full of sarcasm. Apart from those on stage, everyone else from the Class of 24 remained hidden in the darkness, unable to see the expressions on their faces after Qin Su finished speaking.

All they knew was that three full seconds had passed since Qin Su spoke, and no one from the Class of 24 uttered a sound.

The longer it drags on, the more humiliating it will be for the Class of 24.

If no one comes, the news about the Class of 26 will probably spread like wildfire as soon as today's training ends. They will be virtually unknown at the school after the Class of 24, and it will be a stain on their record for life after graduation and entering society... Even if it's not a stain, it will be something that everyone will laugh at.

At the fifth second, for the sake of the Class of 24 grade, Ding Yutang, the Alpha of SS-level from Class 9), rang out. "I'll do it."

I silently counted to eight in my mind, and then I heard a voice from the crowd, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching me.

Qin Su remained silent, not even glancing at the others still inside the Barrier Device, showing no intention of letting them leave.

According to his calculated attack values, defeating SSS-Rank Ding Yutang would only take about five seconds; Group 1 trip would be a waste of time.

Upon seeing Ding Yutang come up, the people from Team 1 Group 1 glanced at Qin Su and subconsciously wanted to retreat into the darkness.

Giving up the space was secondary; their main concern was being affected. If they couldn't afford to offend them, they'd rather stay away.

Noticing the direction the Group 1 members were moving in, Qin Su had to call out to them, "You don't need to leave."

As Ding Yutang walked out of the darkness by touching himself, and the members of Group 1 disappeared into the light, he stopped a little over a meter away from Qin Su and heard Qin Su speaking to the Group 1.

Ding Yutang: "?"

Has Qin Su become so ruthless that he doesn't even care about the lives of others? He can understand the people from the Class of 24, since Qin Su has never cared about them. But two-thirds of the people in these Team 1 Group 1 are from the Class of 26 grade.

Or was Qin Su deliberately making them stand in the stakes, using them as obstacles?

Tsk, even after taking action, he still has to take care of the people around him. What a hassle. Ding Yutang wasn't very satisfied.

Upon hearing this, the people below looked at the members of Group 1 with pity, mentally preparing themselves for the moment when the group would run away with their tails between their legs on stage.

The group, who were originally going to discreetly distance themselves, froze and stood still, their reactions varying depending on their grade or class.

The students in Class 6 looked indifferent, their faces showing only obedience to Qin Su's orders, without a trace of fear. The students from other classes in the Class of 26 looked slightly uneasy, while the Class of 24 frowned directly. They firmly believed that Qin Su didn't care about them, and if they were to be affected later, they would definitely be the first.

After speaking to the others, Qin Su saw Ding Yutang stop and said calmly to Ding Yutang, "Let's begin."

"Wait a minute." Ding Yutang glanced above his head. "The Barrier Device isn't activated yet."

Has Qin Su completely disregarded the lives of the others below?

If they were to fight to a standstill like He Muzhi and Chris did, wouldn't throwing them together injure innocent bystanders?

Qin Su calmly stated the facts. "It's already open."

He deliberately didn't activate the Barrier Device from before, but instead activated the V-207's maximum range Barrier Device. He planned to warn everyone later, letting them know that after his modifications, the V-207 training ground possessed a giant Barrier Device capable of encompassing all of them.

Ding Yutang: "Hmm?"

Is there something wrong with his eyes? He clearly didn't see anything about the thing above his head starting up.

Having already wasted more than a minute, Qin Su didn't want to waste any more time and urged Ding Yutang directly, "Let's get started."

Ding Yutang, SSS-Rank Alpha pheromone user, was originally on Qin Su's initial list. Qin Su had carefully watched the combat videos of every Alpha and Omega with a Pheromone level of S or above, and had a certain understanding of them.

In addition, during the time Ding Yutang had been standing in front of him, he had clearly figured out where he would strike and where Ding Yutang would fall, so he wanted to finish the fight quickly.

Ding Yutang: "..."

His doubts remained unanswered; instead, he heard Qin Su's cold, commanding tone. Ding Yutang's brows furrowed instinctively. This was the first time he had been so looked down upon, and he was displeased. The moment his brow relaxed, he ceased his restraint. Without a word, he tensed his body, facing Qin Su. Even in his first attack, Ding Yutang dared not test the waters. He used all his strength, charging towards Qin Su with lightning speed...

To get a clearer view of Ding Yutang's movements, Qin Su narrowed his eyes slightly.

No matter how Ding Yutang's movements changed, Qin Su stood still, constantly searching for the target area he had already identified in his mind: the abdominal region.

While taking advantage of the natural inward curl of the wrist as the fist is clenched, he secretly injected the K-110 that had been strapped to his left wrist.

His legs were still needed for walking, so they were obviously unusable. Between his left and right hands, Qin Su chose to 'keep' his relatively more flexible right hand, just in case, even if he didn't need to do anything with it later.

Having experience with ten injections before, and now with one injection of K-110 diluted several times, Qin Su only felt his heart rate increase and his emotions fluctuate more after the injection; otherwise, he felt no discomfort.

Two seconds passed, and Qin Su saw Ding Yutang, two steps away from him, perform the classic close-quarters combat move that Qin Su had seen Ding Yutang like in the video: suddenly crouching down slightly while simultaneously delivering a powerful upward punch to the opponent's chin.

Public image is paramount, and Qin Su resolutely protected his chin. Just as Ding Yutang's hand was a few centimeters away from his chin, he suddenly stepped back with his left leg, naturally widening the distance between his chin and Ding Yutang's fist.

The moment Qin Su met Ding Yutang's gaze, he avoided actually punching Ding Yutang through the abdomen. He didn't dare to make any backward or forward movement with his left hand. Instead, he thrust his fist forward with the palm facing up, aiming directly at the spot on Ding Yutang's abdomen that he had chosen.

In the third second, Qin Su pasted the 'target' without delay. He smoothly shifted his gaze from Ding Yutang to the target, and in that instant, he forcefully scooped Ding Yutang towards the area he had previously selected with his left hand, while his left fist propelled Ding Yutang's body forward and upward...

Ding Yutang charged towards Qin Su with all his might, and just as he unleashed his signature move, he saw Qin Su take a step back to avoid him. The next second, he realized that a hard fist had been glued to his abdomen.

'You pasted it so weakly? Are you looking down on me...?'

Before Ding Yutang could even process what was happening, he met Qin Su's indifferent gaze as he looked down at him. His mind went blank for a moment, and he saw Qin Su casually glance at him before looking away. Then, before he could even think about what was happening, a force he couldn't resist surged through his abdomen, and his body flew backward like a ball of cotton.

"!!!"

As Ding Yutang ascended into the air, all the chaotic thoughts in his mind vanished, and he stared in disbelief at Qin Su below, who had already returned to his original standing posture.

Two seconds later, Ding Yutang felt a violent tremor in his back, and his whole body went into a numb blank.

At that moment, Ding Yutang felt a sense of bewilderment, as if all the wrinkles in his brain had been smoothed out.

Watching Ding Yutang land at his destination, Qin Su breathed a sigh of relief.

'Five seconds, over.'

"!"

Everyone's necks moved with Ding Yutang's movements, watching helplessly as Qin Su's attack, seemingly effortless, sent Ding Yutang flying in the blink of an eye.

The speed was so fast that they wondered if they were hallucinating.

They watched helplessly as Ding Yutang's body was blasted out of the light's range, and two seconds later they saw Ding Yutang's body smash into a huge crater on the massive pale blue barrier, which was far away from them.

Under normal circumstances, the Barrier Device has excellent ductility. Even if they fight fiercely inside while wearing Combat Suits, they will not damage it to the point where it needs to demonstrate its superior ductility.

As a result, since they entered the school, they had never seen the Barrier Device in such a state, with a huge crater smashed into it.

The originally dim environment was illuminated by the pale blue light emanating from the Barrier Device after Ding Yutang's impact, revealing Ding Yutang location: the center of the giant crater.

The crater is slowly initiating its repair process, gradually returning to normal from its stretched state.

After a brief silence filled with shock, a murmur of sighs erupted from the crowd.

"He just flew away without looking back?!"

"Now I finally understand why Qin Su said there was no need for the Team 1 Group 1 to leave. The battle was over in just a few seconds; their leaving would be a complete waste of time!"

"Watching Ding Yutang fly away, I really wanted to ask, 'Will he come back?'"

"To be honest, without the Barrier Device, he probably wouldn't be back today."

"If Ding Yutang heard you talking about him like that, he'd probably die of depression."

"Wait a minute, why would there be a giant Barrier Device that's been activated sometime ago, so far away from us?"

"Could it be that the small area used by the previous Group 1 members is no longer enough for Qin Su... that kind of 'massacre' requires such a large area to satisfy him...? Hiss, it's terrifying to think about... no, even a cursory thought is extremely frightening!"

Although everyone was keeping their voices down, Qin Su didn't pretend to be deaf; he could hear quite a bit of discussion.

Without giving everyone much time—three seconds after the allotted five seconds had expired— Qin Su asked again, "Does anyone else want to continue fighting for freedom?"

He only has three minutes of "King Time" with his left hand. If he can finish it quickly, he needs to do it all at once. Today is his first day as the Head Class Monitor. Losing one hand is enough; he can't afford to waste any other limbs.

Qin Su's question, delivered in an icy tone, immediately silenced the room.

"No, no, we wouldn't dare! Ding Yutang is like a paper doll in front of Qin Su, let alone them!"

After waiting quietly for three seconds without anyone speaking, Qin Su tacitly acknowledged that his intimidation had been successful and naturally returned to the initial question.

"Since no one has any further objections, this matter ends here. From this moment on, I don't want to hear anything like what happened today again. Did you all understand?"

"Listen carefully!"

"Did you hear me clearly..."

The exact same words were spoken with great enthusiasm by Class 6) and some students from the Class of 26, while those from the Class of 24 spoke hesitantly.

Hearing the expected answer, Qin Su addressed everyone's doubts. "However, what happens next is different."

'Um?'

Everyone was bewildered by Qin Su's sudden words. After a long while, they realized that Qin Su was answering the question posed by the person who had initially raised the doubts.

'If it's different... Phew, that's good, that scared them to death!'

'Even though Qin Su just demonstrated it, even if it were the same, they wouldn't dare to utter another word.'

After Qin Su finished speaking, a distinct sigh of relief could be heard from the students below.

"..."

It seems everyone misunderstood him.

'Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain. The truth will come out soon anyway.'

Thinking this, Qin Su said to He Muzhi, "Give the weapon to Phoenix."

He Muzhi didn't understand, but he did as instructed, "Okay."

Phoenix stared blankly at the weapon in his hand.

However, his doubts were quickly answered, and before long, Phoenix heard Qin Su's command.

"Recreate in him everything you felt not long ago."

Qin Su looked at the second-place solver in Group 1, but his words were directed at Phoenix.

Phoenix: "?!"

"Yes!" Phoenix's blue eyes flashed with joy as he recalled the command that had just been used to sacrifice him.

I never imagined I would one day be able to 'get revenge'.

The second person to solve the problem. "..."

"...?" At this point, everyone belatedly realized what Qin Su meant by "different".

What's the difference between this and before? Isn't it still the same—being beaten up?

'Their understanding is different, different from Qin Su's; it seems different.'

Despite their thoughts, given Ding Yutang's example, no one dared to speak out against it.

Through Qin Su's cunning maneuvers, the members of Team 1 Group 1 engaged in a brutal act of mutual destruction. In the end, no one spared anyone, and each person precisely found their own retribution, reaping the consequences of their actions under Qin Su's watchful gaze.

When the Team 2 Group 2, they were no longer as relaxed as the first group. Even when faced with familiar questions, they dared not be careless and focused intently on thinking through all possible solutions within the short five minutes.

They really didn't want to experience the pain of being killed multiple times, but since they couldn't resist, they could only choose to accept the fear rather than the retribution.

Through Qin Su's actions, the commander, who should have been safe and secure, became 'dangerous' in a different way.

Similarly, if you don't want to suffer too much when it comes to settling scores later, you must keep the lives of every member of your team in mind when giving orders, and do your best to ensure victory in dangerous situations while protecting everyone's lives.

Even those watching below dared not relax for a moment, fearing they would encounter the same questions again. Every time they saw a question, they secretly tried to find a solution.

"I no longer dare to think like I'm not the one in danger, and give orders haphazardly when I can't think of a better solution, just like before."

"Don't even mention not daring to. I wish I could protect all the team members behind me when it's my turn to give orders. Damn it, I never thought I would become so selfless one day."

"Sigh, who isn't!"

"I can't wait to get rid of Qin Su. He's too terrifying; I'm not worthy of his presence."

Hearing these words, Zhou Qian frowned slightly, feeling powerless to do anything about it.

Qin Su used such bloody and terrifying facts to instill fear in everyone. Some people did not repent; they were simply afraid of Qin Su. Next time... no, at least while Qin Su was around, they would not dare to do it again.

Ding Yutang slid down from the outermost Barrier Device, which had now returned to normal. After recovering, he realized no one was paying attention to him. His heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down, and he sheepishly returned to the group. While touching his abdomen, he muttered to himself, "Qin Su didn't use any force, he just pushed me gently. Was he going easy on me?"
