The Top Spot Is Actually a Trash Picker

"M-Mimi!!"

Ma Hongjun's blatant threat was truly unpleasant.

Mimi clenched her tiny felt-like fists, her brows shooting up as her round eyes glared fiercely at Ma Hongjun. She even bared her teeth and hissed at him, looking exactly like an enraged kitten with its fur standing on end.

"Hehe, this little thing is pretty fierce."

Ma Hongjun stood with his arms crossed. Watching Mimi's little gestures, he found them completely harmless and could not help bursting into laughter.

"But no matter how fierce you are, you're just a clawless little kitty, Mimi! Hahaha..."

"Trashy fatty, I've put up with you for a long time!"

A chilly voice suddenly rang out, carrying undisguised impatience. "Do you want another taste of my bat?"

Ma Hongjun, that jumping clown, was always prancing around in front of Stelle and Mimi.

Mimi found him annoying, and Stelle had long been holding back a bellyful of anger as well.

She had originally only wanted to wait quietly at the side for the ranking to be revealed and claim that generous reward.

After taking first place, no one would dare look down on her again or disturb her whenever they pleased.

But Ma Hongjun was truly infuriating. He provoked her again and again, pushing his luck further every time.

How could Stelle, who had always liked solving problems with a baseball bat, continue to endure it?

She swung out the bat behind her and rested it on her shoulder with a heavy thud.

Standing ramrod straight, she looked like a street tyrant as her icy gaze swept toward Ma Hongjun.

Ma Hongjun had been arrogant beyond measure just moments ago.

But when he saw the bat on Stelle's shoulder and those utterly cold eyes, his body suddenly shuddered.

The scene of Stelle pinning him to the ground and beating him senseless that day surged back into his mind like a tide.

He instinctively took two steps back, and most of the arrogance on his face instantly faded.

However, since he had already provoked Stelle, how could he possibly escape so easily?

Stelle pushed off with her feet, her body shooting forward like an arrow released from its bow.

The baseball bat in her hand tore through the air as it viciously smashed into Ma Hongjun's stomach.

Bang!

A dull impact rang out.

Like a baseball struck cleanly into the air, Ma Hongjun's body traced a parabola as he flew straight into the sky.

"Mimi! Mimi!"

Watching Ma Hongjun get sent flying, Mimi immediately began jumping happily in place. Her little hands clapped nonstop, her face full of delighted satisfaction.

"Fat—ty—!"

Seeing Ma Hongjun get blasted away in a single move, the people from Shrek Academy immediately became unhappy.

Flender watched Ma Hongjun fly higher and higher, afraid that the boy would fall and end up crippled all over.

He hurriedly leaped into the air, rushing skyward and steadily catching Ma Hongjun.

As the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai was instantly enraged when he saw his brother being bullied. He strode up to Stelle, his eyes as fierce as a wolf's.

Even Tang San, who was usually calm and steady, slowly clenched his fists. Soul Power faintly churned around him as he silently pressured Stelle.

He had originally been certain that he would claim first place on this ranking.

But when he ultimately saw that he was only ranked third, the anger and unwillingness in his heart had already nearly burst free.

This Stelle actually dared to jump out and provoke their Shrek Seven Devils at a time like this. She was simply courting death!

Although Oscar had little combat strength, he understood best how to throw his weight around.

He swiftly summoned two Sausages, holding one in each hand as makeshift weapons.

He eagerly scurried behind Dai Mubai, waving his arms and claws at Stelle while pretending to look fierce.

However, not everyone from Shrek Academy was like that.

Zhu Zhuqing still wore her icy expression. After merely snorting coldly, she turned her head aside, too lazy to involve herself in this farce.

Ning Rongrong stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching the show. Her red lips parted as she teased them.

"You three grown men are bullying a little girl. You're really something."

Xiao Wu also frowned and quickly stepped forward, wanting to pull Tang San back.

After all, it was not as if they did not know what Ma Hongjun was like.

When he flirted with other girls and got beaten up by them, it was practically an everyday occurrence. He completely deserved it.

Of course, if Ma Hongjun flirted with a girl and got beaten up by a man from her group, the Shrek Seven Devils would definitely stand up for him.

But Stelle before them was clearly alone.

Ganging up on someone weaker was simply too ugly.

However, Stelle did not need their concern at all.

She raised the bat resting on her shoulder and casually swept her gaze over the three before her. When her eyes landed on Dai Mubai, she suddenly recalled something.

"You should be the one the Sky Screen mentioned, ranked tenth, right?"

Stelle's tone was light, thick with contempt.

"Perfect. Let me see just how pathetic someone who made it onto the Genius Ranking really is."

The moment those words came out, Oscar and Tang San's expressions darkened.

Dai Mubai was indeed ranked tenth, but one of them was ninth and the other was third!

The Sky Screen had been announcing the ranking for so long. Tang San in particular was ranked third, yet his introduction had even been longer than Qian Renxue's, who was ranked second!

This Stelle was clearly ignoring them on purpose!

Tang San immediately stepped forward. His expression was frighteningly dark, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"I never fight nameless nobodies."

"You were able to send Fatty flying, so your strength is probably not simple. State your name!"

Stelle planted both hands on her waist, lifting her chin slightly. Her tone was contemptuous to the extreme.

"Wait a little longer, and you'll naturally know my name!"

Tang San gave a cold snort. Without wasting any more words, he introduced himself, his tone filled with pride.

"Tang San. Remember that name."

"I am the one ranked third on the Genius Ranking. After all my Spirit Rings are raised by eight thousand years, you will be the first person I defeat!"

As his words fell, blue light surged around Tang San, and his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul abruptly appeared.

Two purple and two black Spirit Rings slowly circled around him like waves, and a powerful aura rushed forward.

"Oh, so you're that little punk."

Stelle nodded in sudden realization, though there was not the slightest ripple in her tone.

She truly had not paid attention to him before. If Tang San had not said anything, she would not even have known who he was.

But he was merely third place. In Stelle's eyes, he was no different from trash.

"Hey, pretty lady!"

Feeling that he too had been underestimated, Oscar immediately jumped out to make his presence known, afraid of being treated like background scenery.

"Your big brother here is ranked ninth too!"

"Isn't this Stelle too unlucky? She actually provoked three geniuses at once!"

"Only someone with a screw loose like her would dare do that, right? We'd better never have anything to do with her in the future. There's really something wrong with her head, daring to provoke geniuses!"

"So this is a genius's strength? Two purple Spirit Rings and two black Spirit Rings... Heavens, how did he manage that?"

The surrounding spectators immediately erupted into an uproar at the sight, their discussions rising one after another.

Beyond their surprise, there was even more mockery toward Stelle. They felt that she was overestimating herself, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The others did not dare step forward even half a pace.

After all, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Oscar clearly did not look like people to be trifled with.

Anyone who dared interfere would only have themselves to blame if they got beaten up.

After all, these three were all figures on the Genius Ranking and would surely be hot commodities fought over by every major power.

Even if they beat someone up, they would not receive any condemnation.

Facing the three people before her, all brimming with menace and pressing closer step by step, Stelle still stood where she was, as unshakable as a pine tree.

She still held the baseball bat lazily in her hand, with no fear visible on her face.

The gazes of the people around her were filled with regret, sympathy, and undisguised mockery.

They all thought Stelle was definitely finished this time.

At a time like this, even if she knelt and begged for mercy, these geniuses might avoid going too far out of consideration for their reputations and not truly deal harshly with such a delicate little girl.

But this Stelle was something else. Not only did she refuse to run, she still acted as if she were second only to the heavens. Did she really think she could withstand three people by herself?

Just as the corners of Tang San's mouth rose slightly, a vicious glint flashing in his eyes as he was finally about to vent the resentment in his heart—

The Sky Screen above suddenly erupted with a radiance brighter than ever before!

The commotion was simply earth-shaking.

Perhaps it was because first place was about to be revealed!

This sudden change made Tang San and the other two halt in their tracks.

They all raised their heads at once, their eyes fixed firmly on the text in the sky.

Golden light flickered across the Sky Screen as a name slowly emerged.

[Top Ten Young Geniuses of Douluo Ranking!]

[TOP 1: Stelle!]

[Age: 2.5 years old!]

At the same time, a massive figure slowly materialized upon the Sky Screen.

That person had a head of dazzling gray hair, while her golden eyes were cold and merciless as she looked down upon all living beings from on high.

Her face was majestic and her bearing awe-inspiring. Standing there, she resembled a living deity, radiating overwhelming dominance!

When they saw that face on the Sky Screen, everyone waiting at Heaven Dou City's gates could not help opening their mouths wide, their faces full of disbelief.

They all turned their heads toward Stelle, who held a baseball bat and wore an invincible expression.

Cries of shock rang out one after another.

"Impossible!"

"How could the top-ranked person be this trash picker?!"
