At Lingyun Warrior Academy, reaching Level 3 Student required students to follow their teachers to an outdoor base for field training, where they mainly learned wilderness survival skills and techniques for fighting wild beasts.
After nearly a year of wilderness survival trials, Level 3 Students had pulled far ahead of Second-Level Students and First-Level Students. The difference was already apparent in their bearing.
Nearly every Level 3 Student had experience fighting fierce beasts. The more capable ones had even exchanged blows with Ferocious Beasts under their teachers' supervision.
But none of that mattered to Su Hao. No matter how rich the experiences of those Level 3 Students were, they were still just a group of twelve- or thirteen-year-old youths, a group of Ordinary Martial Artists. Even if the occasional Genius had broken through to become an Elite Warrior, they would only be an Initial Stage Elite Warrior. Fundamentally, they were no different from Ordinary Martial Artists.
Su Hao could kill them all in seconds.
Upon arriving at the Level 3 Students' grounds, Su Hao handed He Qingqing over to Little Fatty and charged toward the conspicuous group of Level 3 Students, shouting all the way, "I am Wu Xiangwu. I have come to challenge every Level 3 Student. You may come at me together."
By then, a large number of First-Level Students and Second-Level Students had already arrived early and found good spots to watch. They began discussing it among themselves.
Mo Xin leaned close to Jin Dayan's face, her eyes wide with curiosity. "Brother Dayan, do you think Wu Xiangwu can beat those Level 3 Students? Every one of them is tall and sturdy. They look like people you don't want to provoke."
Jin Dayan moved away and shook his head. "I don't know. I can't see through him."
Jin Xiaohan pulled Mo Xin away and shielded her brother. "Mo Xin, ask if you want to ask, but don't take advantage of my brother."
Mo Xin giggled. "If you ask me, Wu Xiangwu won't manage it this time. Level 3 Students aren't the same as Second-Level Students."
Jin Xiaohan nodded. "Indeed. He's being far too arrogant now."
Mo Xin nodded. "Wu Xiangwu truly is a monster, and he has the capital to be arrogant. But this time, I'm afraid he'll stumble and fall flat on his face."
Mo Xin turned her head and asked with a smile, "Brother Dayan, you have the Title of one of Lingyun Town's Geniuses. Aren't you jealous of Wu Xiangwu at all?"
Jin Dayan said indifferently, "Of course I'm jealous. But I'm merely a Genius, while he's a monster. Why should a Genius compare himself to a monster?"
Mo Xin and Jin Xiaohan had nothing to say.
Elsewhere, Xiao Yushu stood in a corner, quietly watching Su Hao's figure. It was a figure charging into a crowd without hesitation or regard for danger. His eyes were somewhat lost as he murmured, "Wu Xiangwu, I'm not your equal!"
Su Hao had already arrived before a bewildered Level 3 Student and immediately threw a punch. The Level 3 Student instinctively raised his hands to block, but Su Hao used Sliding Shadow Step to slip past the guard and landed a precise blow on his chin, sending him flying high into the air and knocking him unconscious on the spot.
Knocking them out was the most trouble-saving method.
Without pausing for even a moment, he rushed toward the nearest one.
That person quickly assumed a stance, watched Su Hao's path, and actually predicted his attack in advance.
Su Hao once again used Sliding Shadow Step to circle to the side. Ascending Fist! Sent flying!
At last, the Level 3 Students reacted. Someone had come to smash up their grounds.
He had started fighting the moment he arrived without even throwing out a few harsh words first. He was far too arrogant!
Some of them excitedly surrounded Su Hao, yelling that they would pin him to the ground and beat him senseless. More of them simply watched, while some still had no idea what was going on.
But that was fine. They would understand soon enough.
Because in that short time, Su Hao had already sent one person flying with a punch and another flying with a kick. They either blissfully passed out on the spot or lay on the ground howling, unable to get back up.
Very quickly, the suicide squad that had rushed forward was completely wiped out, leaving the scene in utter disarray.
Su Hao still did not stop. He charged straight toward those farther away and shouted again, "I am First-Level Student Wu Xiangwu. I have come to challenge every Level 3 Student. You are welcome to gang up on me."
Su Hao charged in and slaughtered in all directions. Every punch and kick carried tremendous force. Anyone struck was flung into the air, then fell to the ground wailing.
Very soon, the Level 3 Students who remained standing became frightened. Some fled outright, while others unwillingly tried to charge him, only to be sent flying and never rise again.
"That Little Simpleton has gone mad or something. He's too fierce! We can't stop him at all. Hurry and find Ye Xiaomeng."
"Find Ye Xiaomeng? Can you afford to lose that much face?"
"Exactly. We lose, and we go ask a woman for help? Go if you want. I'm not going."
"But right now, only Ye Xiaomeng might be able to stand against him."
"Take out 'might.' Ye Xiaomeng is already an Elite Warrior. That Little Simpleton definitely isn't Ye Xiaomeng's match."
"Damn it, that Little Simpleton is charging this way."
"You guys hold him off first. Stall him. I'll go find Ye Xiaomeng."
"Stall your grandpa! Who the hell can stall him?"
Not far from the Level 3 Students' Martial Arts Field was a massive Trial Ground. Many Ferocious Beasts whose danger levels were kept under control were imprisoned there, specially used for Level 3 Students' practical combat training.
At that moment, inside an enclosed room in the training ground, a short-haired girl around thirteen or fourteen years old was confronting a huge bear-like creature.
The creature stood two meters tall and was at least three meters long. It generally resembled a bear, but it was not a bear. Its head was like a crocodile's, with a long mouth full of exposed sharp teeth arranged in a chilling row. From its head down along its spine grew sharp bones like fish fins, making it look savage and terrifying.
This creature was called a Crocodile-Toothed Beast. It was the lowest-grade Ferocious Beast, characterized by slow movement but a thick, durable body that could take a beating. It was perfect for Level 3 Students to practice against.
Though it was the lowest-grade Ferocious Beast, it was still a Ferocious Beast. Its strength stood firmly at the Elite Realm. Even an Initial Stage Elite Warrior might not be a match for this Crocodile-Toothed Beast.
The short-haired girl suddenly moved. With a sharp cry, she charged directly at the Crocodile-Toothed Beast's face. The instant it opened its mouth to bite, she flashed to the side and delivered a high rising kick to its neck, sending the entire front half of the Crocodile-Toothed Beast rearing high into the air.
"Grrgh!" The Crocodile-Toothed Beast let out a muffled cry of pain from its throat, its short, thick claws instinctively swatting toward the short-haired girl.
With a light backward leap, the short-haired girl avoided the claw strike and was about to press forward to continue attacking the Crocodile-Toothed Beast.
A companion's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Boss Xiaomeng, come out quickly! Something huge has happened at the Martial Arts Field!"
"What is it?" Hearing this, the short-haired girl kicked out, sending the enraged Crocodile-Toothed Beast charging at her stumbling backward step after step. She took the opportunity to disengage from the battle, opened the door, and went outside.
"Come with me! Only you can stop that lunatic!" The moment she stepped out, a freckled girl grabbed her and ran.
On the other side, the Level 3 Students present had already lost all will to resist. The moment they saw Su Hao charging in their direction, they scattered like birds and beasts, each fleeing for their lives. For a time, Su Hao could not chase everyone down, and his attacking efficiency dropped drastically.
After a moment, Su Hao stopped and said unhappily, "Where is the backbone of you Level 3 Students? Come over here. Let's settle this once and for all! You can come together. I don't mind."
The Level 3 Students still standing cursed wildly in their hearts, but they could not force out a single word.
Because they all knew that once this Little Simpleton set his sights on them, they would have no chance of escaping.
Just then, a large crowd surrounded a beautiful short-haired girl and walked toward Su Hao.
The short-haired girl wore fitted martial arts clothes, and her whole bearing was spirited and heroic. If she had not been a girl, many boys would probably have been willing to become sworn brothers with her.
One of the Level 3 Students pointed at Su Hao, his face full of grief and indignation. "Boss Xiaomeng, it's him! I don't know whether he's sick in the head or what, but he charged in and started hitting everyone he saw."
Ye Xiaomeng raised her chin and said in a crisp voice, "Kid, did you come here to make trouble?"
Su Hao grinned but said nothing, charging straight at her.
They could talk after he had knocked everyone down. The other side had more people. If he talked before fighting, he would be at a disadvantage. But if he knocked them all down first, he would have the advantage, and only then would his words carry weight.
"Arrogant!" Ye Xiaomeng's expression turned cold. She leaped out from the crowd and ran toward Su Hao. She wanted to teach this Little Simpleton, who did not know the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth, a lesson.
Su Hao's gaze sharpened. This little girl's speed far surpassed that of a High-Rank Ordinary Warrior. She had some skill.
But it was all meaningless. Su Hao suddenly erupted, his speed instantly reaching its limit.
Sliding Shadow Step!
Ascending Fist!
The two collided in an instant. Ye Xiaomeng let out a cry and was hurled high into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.
Silence! Every Level 3 Student was despairing inside. The strongest fighter of their year had already fallen. Did they have any hope left? "Charge! Everyone, attack together!"
"Right! Let's go at him shoulder to shoulder!"
"Charge!"
Their voices were filled with endless tragedy and heroism! But it was still useless. When the gap in strength was too vast, numbers could not make up for it.
At last, after everyone had fallen, Su Hao let out a long, heavy breath.
The Level 3 Students were overall much stronger than the Second-Level Students. This fight had consumed quite a bit of his Blood Qi.
"Boom—"
The First-Level Students and Second-Level Students watching immediately erupted in commotion.
They had personally witnessed an incredible miracle of battle. One First-Level Student had defeated every Level 3 Student. No matter who it was, they fell after a single blow. Even Ye Xiaomeng, the super Genius who had already advanced to Elite Warrior and was known as Boss Ye, collapsed at the first touch.
The Second-Level Students all felt much more balanced inside. A few months ago, Su Hao had also defeated all of them by himself. Thinking about it now, it did not seem like such a big deal. Even the Level 3 Students were no match for him, so it was perfectly normal that the Second-Level Students could not beat him.
"Wu Xiangwu is too powerful! He defeated the entire Level 3 Student group by himself."
"Unthinkable! Being able to witness such a miracle today was worth it!"
"This is Violent Flyer Wu Xiangwu!"
"From now on, Wu Xiangwu is my big brother. Tomorrow, I'll bring good wine and fine food to acknowledge him as my big brother. Who's coming with me?"
"Count me in!"
"I'm coming too!"
As Su Hao walked, he suddenly grabbed someone at random and asked, "By the way, do you know where the Level 4 Students are?"
That person froze and stammered, "I... I don't know!"
