Su Hao asked Flathead to take him to the strongest among the Level 2 Students. Flathead and the others exchanged glances, then fell into an anomalous silence.

Su Hao thought they were unwilling, and his voice turned cold. "What, you don't want to?"

Flathead immediately waved his hands. "It's not that we don't want to. It's just... are you sure?"

"Of course!"

"Fine, then follow us. But let me make this clear first: he's Invincible among us Level 2 Students. If you can't beat him, don't take it out on us."

"Just lead the way."

Flathead and the others immediately relaxed.

They were actually ranked within the top fifty among the Level 2 Students, but ever since enrollment, they had been suppressed by Xiao Yushu, the super Genius among the Level 2 Students.

Xiao Yushu had seized all the glory of the Level 2 Students. Beneath his radiance, everyone else faded into obscurity. Since enrolling, he had never suffered defeat—not even against Level 3 Students.

For someone like that, Flathead acknowledged Xiao Yushu's title as a Genius. But recently, news had somehow spread that people were comparing Wu Xiangwu with Xiao Yushu. This was simply an insult to their Level 2 Students, an insult to the title of Genius, and even more so, an insult to Xiao Yushu himself. That was why today's incident had happened.

They wanted to use practical action to suppress this so-called "Genius" who had only just emerged, to let Wu Xiangwu know that beyond every person was another person, and beyond every sky was another sky.

Then they failed. They had not even lasted a single exchange.

Still, although they had lost and acknowledged that Wu Xiangwu truly deserved the title of Genius, comparing him to Xiao Yushu was impossible. Among people their age, no one could defeat Xiao Yushu.

Flathead and the others had already foreseen Su Hao's defeat. They only hoped Su Hao would not vent his frustration on them afterward.

Flathead led Su Hao to another venue. It was similar to the Martial Arts Field, except it had far more training equipment. This was where the Level 2 Students were usually stationed, where they conducted simulated training.

Before long, the news that Wu Xiangwu, a Genius First-Level Student, was seeking a duel with Xiao Yushu, the super Genius among the Level 2 Students, spread without wings. It immediately drew a large crowd of spectators, who followed behind Su Hao and the others.

Such things happened often. Many Advanced students came to challenge Xiao Yushu after hearing of his fame, but this was the first time a First-Level Student had come to challenge him.

The crowd had all come to watch Wu Xiangwu make a fool of himself. They were already thinking of what trash talk they would use to send him off when he lost and slunk away in disgrace.

Elsewhere, at the Level 2 Martial Arts Field.

"Xiao Yushu, the three of us have each painstakingly trained a unique skill over the past month. Today, we'll shatter your undefeated myth and take the title of strongest Level 2 Student!" Three delinquent-looking youths blocked Xiao Yushu's path.

"You..." Xiao Yushu swept his gaze over them, his eyelids lowering slightly. "Come at me together!"

Xiao Yushu was a fair and clean-looking youth, a full head taller than Su Hao and at least 1.7 meters tall. His medium-length hair fell to his shoulders, his sharply defined face framed a pair of clear, keen eyes, and his whole bearing gave off an icy, noble air.

The three youths exchanged glances and sneered. "Xiao Yushu, you're still as arrogant as ever. You should know that the three of us are all ranked in the top ten among the Level 2 Students. Are you confident you can handle all three of us?"

Xiao Yushu did not answer. He merely crooked a finger. "Come!"

One thick-browed youth snorted. "You're the one who told us to come together. Don't say we ganged up on you after you lose!"

"Enough nonsense, let's go! The strongest Level 2 Student title is ours for the taking!"

The three exchanged glances, let out a roar, and suddenly attacked Xiao Yushu together, using their strongest moves.

"Impact Fist!"

"Triple Overlapping Kick!"

"Circular Force Slash!"

Xiao Yushu did not even dodge. He directly met the attacks of all three head-on.

He raised a fist and shattered the martial skill Impact Fist outright. His punch continued into the opponent's chest, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Then he planted a kick directly against the Triple Overlapping Kick, knocking the other youth down clutching his foot and crying out in pain.

Finally, he raised his left hand and steadily caught the Circular Force Slash. He glanced at his opponent, then, under the other's terrified gaze, struck his shoulder with a chopping palm, knocking him to his knees.

Fist against fist, foot against foot, chopping palm against chopping palm.

Xiao Yushu won completely.

The swift battle made the surrounding spectators suck in a breath of cold air.

"So strong!"

Xiao Yushu's Invincible image was once again etched deeply into everyone's hearts.

Before long, Su Hao saw Xiao Yushu at the Level 2 Martial Arts Field.

The instant Su Hao saw Xiao Yushu, he knew the person before him was the sort who pursued only one thing, but pursued it to the utmost extreme.

Su Hao raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Yushu, who towered far above him. "You're the strongest among the Level 2 Students?"

Whether Level 2 or Level 3, they were fundamentally only eleven- or twelve-year-old youths. No matter how strong their combat techniques were, they were merely Ordinary Martial Artists, unable to bridge the enormous gap in raw strength.

With Su Hao's strength as a High-Rank Elite Warrior, facing his opponent was a dimensionality-reduction strike—like playing with a child.

Xiao Yushu had just been about to leave when someone blocked his way again, and he immediately became somewhat irritated. He narrowed his eyes at Su Hao and said blandly, "What is it?"

Su Hao pointed at Flathead and the others, then nodded. "There is indeed something. You Level 2 Students provoked me, so I want to knock every single one of you down in one go. That way, no one will come provoke me again in the future. And I decided to start with the strongest among you. I heard you're acknowledged as the strongest, so I'll start with you!"

Everyone around them was stunned by Su Hao's arrogance.

They had seen many challengers, but never one so arrogant. Could this short First-Level Student be insane? Xiao Yushu had accepted many challenges, but he had never seen anyone like Su Hao. No matter what, he had broadened his horizons today.

Xiao Yushu rarely refused challenges, because he could gain progress and growth through battle.

But at this moment, he began to wonder whether accepting the challenge of this First-Level Student, who was a head shorter than him, would be a waste of time.

Besides, he truly had other matters to attend to and did not want to keep accepting inexplicable challenges without end.

He wanted to resolve this quickly and leave.

Xiao Yushu crooked a finger and said blandly, "Come!"

Su Hao did not waste words either. He walked straight over and stood opposite Xiao Yushu.

The spectators consciously cleared out an enormous open space.

More and more people came over to join the excitement.

A gentle breeze stirred, and several strands of Golden Light pierced through the clouds. The atmosphere in the field gradually solidified.

Su Hao started forward, walking faster and faster until he finally broke into a run. He rapidly closed in on Xiao Yushu and threw a feint punch.

When he was one meter in front of Xiao Yushu, Su Hao's lips curved upward.

"Sliding Shadow Step!"

The fist that had been flying toward Xiao Yushu's face vanished in an instant. Su Hao vanished with it.

Xiao Yushu's pupils shrank sharply to pinpoints. He felt an unprecedented sense of danger, something no challenger had ever made him feel before.

He spun around at once, crossing both arms in front of his face.

"Bang!"

An unmatched force crashed into his arms, nearly breaking them. The force transmitted through his arms struck his forehead, making his head buzz, and sent his entire body flying backward through the air.

His back hit the ground, and he slid two meters.

Silence! No one could believe the scene before their eyes.

What had they seen? They had seen the super Genius among the Level 2 Students, an Invincible existence, get knocked down? And he was lying flat on his back, face toward the sky.

At that moment, Su Hao said in surprise, "Oh? Your reaction was pretty quick! You actually managed to block it."

Everyone's gazes toward Su Hao suddenly turned strangely anomalous.

Xiao Yushu slowly rose to his feet. His aura turned violent, and his gaze became razor-sharp, like a savage beast choosing someone to devour.

Xiao Yushu forced out two words through clenched teeth. "Again!"

He accelerated beneath his feet and charged toward Su Hao.

Seeing that his opponent still refused to concede, Su Hao decided to get serious and end the battle in one strike. He mobilized the Elite Blood Qi within his body, suddenly rushed forward, and punched at Xiao Yushu.

"Mountain Breaking Fist!" Xiao Yushu roared as he threw a punch at Su Hao with an unstoppable momentum.

Su Hao withdrew his fist and flicked his hand, actually parrying aside Xiao Yushu's full-powered blow. Then he suddenly closed in against Xiao Yushu.

"How is that possible?!" The instant his fist was so easily deflected, Xiao Yushu's defenses had already crumbled.

"Hard Force Fist!" Su Hao pressed close to Xiao Yushu, his fist rising from below toward Xiao Yushu's chin.

Xiao Yushu watched helplessly as Su Hao's fist came at him, but he had no time to dodge or block.

"Bang!" "Crack!"

Amid the sound of bones colliding, Xiao Yushu was launched two meters into the air, blood trailing behind him as he flew backward and crashed heavily onto the ground. Unwillingness still filled him as he lost consciousness.

With Xiao Yushu's fall, the dream everyone present had spent more than a year weaving shattered.

The Xiao Yushu they had elevated into an Invincible myth fell from that myth today. Many people's faiths were destroyed on the spot.

They could not believe what had happened before their eyes, but it had indeed happened. The entire scene was deathly quiet. No one spoke.

Flathead and the others stood dumbstruck, each of them staring blankly with their mouths hanging open.

Su Hao turned and swept his gaze across the crowd, shouting, "Next, all of you come at me together! I said I'd knock every one of you down. Whoever remains standing is challenging me!"

Yet no one moved.

Su Hao revealed a dangerous smile. "Since you won't come, then I'll take the initiative."

For a moment, the winds and clouds changed color.
