Li Changfeng's Humiliation

"Ah!"

Just as the blade tornado was about to collide with the Gu insects, a scream rang out from within it. The violently spinning blades suddenly ignited without fire, while streams of icy cold surged amid the blazing flames!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The two opposing forces of cold and heat rapidly infected the storm, forming an ice-and-fire tempest on the arena. Zhao Hao, who had been hidden within it, wailed continuously as though enduring immense pain!

Cao Xiaochun let out a soft sigh, then lightly tapped the White Jade Gourd with his finger. All the Gu insects vanished instantly.

"Buzz!"

Accompanied by a hum, a massive angelic phantom erupted from behind the storm. With a light point of its finger, the ice-and-fire tornado instantly dissipated, revealing the Binuoxiu sisters before everyone's eyes.

Wang Gang darted forward, pulling Zhao Hao out from between the Binuoxiu sisters. His upper body had been scorched black, while his lower body had frozen into a block of ice.

When she saw the Binuoxiu sisters, a flicker of shock appeared in her eyes. The disappearance of those two bosses from Nine Provinces had caused quite a stir. She never expected them to have been subdued by Cao Xiaochun!

That explained why the Binuoxiu sisters had not respawned. The originals were still alive, so how could new ones appear?

After casually checking Zhao Hao's injuries, Wang Gang felt somewhat helpless. Cao Xiaochun had truly gone for the kill. If she had not rescued him in time, Zhao Hao would likely have died here today.

Even so, Zhao Hao would need to stay bedridden for at least three months.

"The assessment is over. Cao Xiaochun, pass!"

"Holy shit! Aren't those the Binuoxiu sisters? Cao Xiaochun actually subdued them? And he's still Black Iron rank?"

"A Silver-rank examiner lost? This is the weakest class described in the textbooks?"

"So this is the real big shot! He hid himself way too well!"

With Zhao Hao's defeat and the appearance of the Binuoxiu sisters, not only were the examinees below dumbfounded, but even Zhan Feng and the principals on the platform were utterly shocked.

Defeating an opponent two ranks above him was no longer something that could be described as mere talent. In their memories, only Dragon Tamers who had contracted giant dragons could accomplish such a feat through the power of their dragons.

Upon hearing Wang Gang announce the result, Cao Xiaochun casually waved his right hand, and the Binuoxiu sisters instantly vanished from where they stood.

This battle could be considered Cao Xiaochun's first true head-on fight. Before this, whether he had subdued the Binuoxiu sisters or fought Zhang Heng, his opponents had never been in perfect condition.

Although Zhao Hao had also underestimated him this time, this duel had given Cao Xiaochun a clearer understanding of his own strength.

As for why he had struck so ruthlessly just now, the reason was simple.

For someone as narrow-minded as Zhao Hao, if he did not deal him a crushing blow in one go, Zhao Hao would very likely come looking for trouble again afterward.

Besides, it was the Imperial Capital school that had broken the rules first. Their arrogance had made them believe Zhao Hao would remain undefeated, so whatever consequences followed could not be blamed on him.

Ignoring the examinees' discussions, Cao Xiaochun slowly returned to Xu Laoba and the others, letting out a heavy breath.

"Xiaochun, you're fucking incredible!"

"A Black Iron-rank defeating a Silver-rank—what kind of fantasy is this?!" Xu Laoba rushed up to Cao Xiaochun and said excitedly.

Back in the dungeon, he had already known that Cao Xiaochun's awakened Gu Master class was powerful. He had never expected it to be this absurdly overpowered!

"Alright, stop making such a fuss. I just got lucky." Cao Xiaochun glanced at Xu Laoba and replied calmly.

Today's result did not make him proud. After all, the road ahead was still very long.

"Old Li, did you see the Binuoxiu sisters just now? Could the nature of this Gu Master class be the ability to control those areas?"

The people on the platform forcibly suppressed their shock and ordered the examiners to maintain order. The examination had to continue, and everyone needed to be tested today.

However, their attention was no longer on the arena. Instead, they were all thinking about what they had just witnessed. After all, that scene had been far too shocking.

After pondering for a long time, the principal of Second High finally put forth a bold hypothesis.

They had lived for so many years, yet they had never heard of a class capable of controlling regional bosses. Still, Gu Master was ultimately a hidden class, even if it had been deemed the weakest class.

The fundamental reason for that was simply that no one had found a path for advancing this class.

If that were truly the case, then this class would be terrifying beyond belief!

After all, while dungeon bosses had ranks displayed above them, it normally took at least two professionals one rank higher to defeat them.

If Cao Xiaochun's class could truly control these bosses, that meant he would always be able to fight above his rank!

The principal's question caught Li Changfeng off guard. Although he thought the old man's reasoning made sense, how was he supposed to know the answer?

Seeing the faces around him that were eager for an answer, Li Changfeng became visibly uncomfortable.

"Ahem, generally speaking, schools focus primarily on educating students' character and do not interfere much with the progress of their own classes."

"So, since something like this happened today, I think we should talk to him later."

"Tsk, listen to that. Don't tell me you never paid attention at all? As the head of a school, one of your students awakened a hidden class, yet you can still remain so indifferent. You're completely unqualified to be the principal of Third High."

Hearing Li Changfeng stammering, they immediately understood. This man probably knew nothing. Rather than wait for him to come to his senses and boast about today's events everywhere, they might as well strike first!

"Exactly! If he were my student, I would have found out everything immediately. I certainly wouldn't be such an old man and still know nothing when asked."

??????

Damn it, I was hospitalized during this period! Besides, Cao Xiaochun did awaken the Gu Master class, but before today, who didn't know what kind of reputation that class had?

How could those words come out of your mouths?!

"Indeed, Principal Li. Your school has really made a name for itself this year. Since the college entrance examination began, this is the first time two students have managed to defeat their instructors."

"Once this news gets out, it will surely cause another sensation."

"And let me tell you something else. A student at your Third High named Hong Jianjun awakened the Chef class, but the dishes he makes actually have healing, recovery, and combat-enhancing effects."

"During his test just now, even the instructors from the support class were astonished by it. You really should pay more attention to your students in the future."

Zhan Feng shook his head. He had received far too many shocks today and needed an outlet, and Li Changfeng—who knew nothing when asked—seemed to be the perfect target.

As Li Changfeng listened to Zhan Feng, his expression gradually turned blank. Could someone please tell him what exactly had happened at the school while he was hospitalized?
