This Was What It Meant to Throw Your Weight Around

Lin Hao gave him an indifferent glance.

"Heh, what a joke. Don't you people at Modu Martial University pride yourselves on being geniuses? Don't you enjoy toying with teammates weaker than you? Now I'm using your own methods against you, and suddenly I'm heartless? Remember, you're geniuses. You're all Silver Grade or even Gold rank geniuses. In your eyes, I'm just a lowly Bronze rank nobody but trash."

Every word Lin Hao spoke struck straight at the hearts of everyone present. The Principal of Modu Martial University said nothing, glaring furiously at Lin Hao. Modu Martial University had always believed that strength was everything, which had led its stronger students to look down on the weaker ones. This was their teaching method, a way to spur every student at Modu Martial University to strive harder.

"It's not over yet. The match has only just begun." Lin Hao flashed a sinister smile. It struck Mo Yu and the two other Modu Martial University students like an evil spirit descending upon them.

Apart from Mo Yu, the other two students from Modu Martial University were trembling on their feet. They were scared—terrified by Lin Hao's ruthless methods. Before this, they had been high-and-mighty geniuses at their school. But now, standing before Lin Hao, they felt they were less than ants.

"From this moment on, geniuses, I'm going to show you what fear means." As Lin Hao's voice fell, he vanished from where he stood once more. Of everyone present, only the principals of the various universities and Fang Wei and Jiang Tianhai in the judges' seats could see where he was.

"Don't panic! Stand back-to-back and defend!" Mo Yu called out. The other two hurriedly took their places beside him in a triangular formation.

The referee was on edge too. Even he couldn't see Lin Hao's movements. If Lin Hao really went for the kill, the referee wasn't sure he could reach them in time.

One minute. Then another minute of silence.

The arena was so quiet it was terrifying; you could have heard a pin drop.

No one dared make a sound. What was the most terrifying thing of all? Waiting for death to come. That brief minute felt unbearably long to the three Modu Martial University students. The three of them didn't dare move, afraid they'd give Lin Hao an opening to strike. As a Gold rank martial artist, Mo Yu had it a little easier, but his two teammates were suffering. The memory of what had just happened to their teammate made their blood run cold. And now they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for Lin Hao to take their lives at any moment.

Suddenly, Lin Hao's voice drifted through the arena. "Are you scared? Aren't you the geniuses of Modu? Can geniuses be afraid, too?" His voice came from every direction; there was no telling where he was.

All at once, one of the Modu Martial University teammates was sent flying without warning. Even Mo Yu, a Gold rank martial artist, didn't react in time. Lin Hao was pounding the student in the face, fist after fist. Just as the student was about to hit the ground, Lin Hao punched him back into the air. Cries of pain rang out. The Silver Grade martial artist couldn't fight back at all. Lin Hao batted him around in midair like a ball.

"Captain, hel—ah!" The student's nose and mouth were covered in blood. He couldn't even get a full sentence out. Mo Yu hurriedly sprinted over to support him, but Lin Hao wasn't about to give him the chance. Another punch sent the student flying to the other side of the arena.

"So this is what geniuses are like? You lot think you can call yourselves geniuses? A bunch of trash! You love picking on the weak and throwing your weight around, don't you? Today, I'll teach you what it really means to throw your weight around."

"Damn it, Lin Hao! If you've got guts, come at me!" Mo Yu chased Lin Hao around the arena, but there was no way he could catch up.

"Captain, save me!" The student being beaten continued to cry desperately for help.

Screams rang out one after another, making the spectators' scalps prickle.

"Damn, an E-class Lightning elemental ability is this powerful? That's not what the books said. Were the books lying to me?" Mo Yu raced around the arena after Lin Hao, while Lin Hao kept batting the student around like a ball. The other teammate was already weak in the knees. He didn't even dare make a sound, afraid Lin Hao would set his sights on him.

In the waiting area, every Shancheng Martial University student was roaring at the top of their lungs. Great God Lin was getting even with them! All the humiliation they'd suffered before was finally being released.

"Great God Lin, you're awesome!"

"Great God Lin, keep beating the crap out of him!"

"Yeah! Avenge Wang Meng and the others. Beat them to a pulp!"

Jiang Weiwei and Su Xiaorui were staring with their little mouths agape. They knew Lin Hao was powerful, but apart from the time he fought the Platinum rank fierce beast, this was the first time they'd seen him so cold and merciless.

In the VIP seats, Lin Xiaorou was still jumping up and down, clapping for her brother. Lin Yueyue, meanwhile, couldn't speak for a long while. When did that brat get so strong? Fang Yao's eyes shone brightly. So that idiot's this powerful?

In the judges' seats, Jiang Tianhai covered his forehead. "Lin Hao, that brat, doesn't seem to have much of a temper." Fang Wei was completely stunned. Then he suddenly came to his senses and stared at Jiang Tianhai, making Jiang Tianhai's scalp prickle. "Old Jiang, tell me the truth. Is Lin Hao the remarkable kid you were talking about? Did you already know he was this strong?"

Jiang Tianhai coughed awkwardly. "Old Fang, my Weiwei was the first to discover Lin Hao's talent. You can't try to take him from me." Jiang Tianhai had even given Lin Hao the Concentration Method. If Fang Wei poached him now, Jiang Tianhai would be taking a huge loss. Besides, Jiang Tianhai knew Fang Wei's daughter seemed to have an unusual relationship with Lin Hao. He had to keep Lin Hao firmly in his grasp, so no one else could take him away.

All the principals from the various Wu Universities in the waiting area were also staring intently at Lin Hao. The strength Lin Hao had shown was beyond what a Silver Grade martial artist could withstand. They quickly searched through the information in their hands. When they saw Lin Hao's file from Shancheng Martial University, the principals all twitched at the corners of their mouths. Damn it, what was the principal of Shancheng Martial University playing at? This kid was an E-class talent with a Lightning elemental ability?

The other competitors stared blankly at the arena. An E-class talent with a Lightning elemental ability could be this strong? Weren't Lightning elemental abilities all long-range combat abilities? What was happening out there? A close-combat mage? Their brains were starting to short-circuit.

In Longcheng Martial University's waiting area, a young man sat in his seat, staring intently at the arena. "Heh, this is interesting. So you're Lin Hao. You can beat Modu Martial University so badly they can't even fight back. Looks like Modu Martial University has taken a real hit this time. If things keep going like this, we'll probably face you in the next match." There was no surprise in his eyes, only boundless Battle Intent. He was Duan Yue, the Top Genius of Longcheng Martial University and a Gold rank martial artist.

By now, Mo Yu had chased Lin Hao for a full five minutes, and Lin Hao had been beating the student for just as long. The Silver Grade teammate's cries for help were growing fainter and fainter. Suddenly, Lin Hao spread his Wind Thunder Twin Wings and held the student aloft, hovering in midair.
