The countdown continued.
Tension spread throughout the area. Everyone wanted to know who would win next.
Would it be that handsome young man?
Or the savage, terrifying Honkai Beast?
Though they dearly wanted the man to win, reason told them that his chances were slim.
Without Stigmata or equipment, there was only so much a human body could do.
Area A had already descended into complete chaos.
"Who says men are inferior to women?! Didn't you fight the Honkai Emperor for nine days and nine nights when you were eighteen, Teacher?! You should be even stronger at nineteen!"
The white-haired girl waved the documents in her hand and shouted.
The moment those words left her mouth, it was as though a powder keg had been lit. Cheers erupted without end; anyone unaware of the situation might have thought a concert was being held here.
They said girls were emotional by nature and instinctively favored the weaker side.
Besides, as humans, few normal people had any fondness for Honkai Beasts.
"Yes, come on!"
"Don't lose!"
Inside the chamber.
Ren Yu had no idea what was happening outside.
At that moment, his body and mind were pushed to their limits, his black eyes bright and focused.
At last, the mechanical countdown reached its end.
3... 2... 1 "Honkai Emperor" released
Boom!
The gigantic Honkai Beast, four or five meters tall, was instantly dropped by the simulation equipment through an opening in the ceiling. It crashed heavily onto the ground, sending a blast of air through the chamber and whipping Ren Yu's hair into disarray.
It was here!
Ren Yu's expression remained unchanged as he studied the massive Honkai Beast with interest.
Come to think of it, this was his first time seeing a Honkai Emperor.
It had no legs. Red and white muscles intertwined across its body, while several fan-like wings floated beside it. It towered several times over Ren Yu's one-meter-eighty frame.
This thing has to be five or six meters tall, at least.
As Ren Yu pondered this, the Honkai Emperor noticed the tiny human standing nearby.
Created by simulation, it possessed no intelligence.
Almost instinctively, it spun its wing blades at high speed. Driven by instinct, it lunged at Ren Yu with incredible speed, its mind holding only one thought.
Tear him apart. Crush him to death!
One Slash Kill—What More Was There to Say?
The Honkai Emperor stood at the pinnacle among lower-class Honkai Beasts not merely because of its enormous size.
Its bizarre fan-wing cutting techniques and high-speed aerial maneuvers were what truly made it troublesome.
Watching the Honkai Emperor charge at him viciously, Ren Yu's expression still did not change. He calmly shifted sideways, dodging the massive wing-blade vortex before it arrived.
With the badge's enhancement, his five senses and thought speed had reached an unbelievable level.
Fast—extremely fast!
As long as he concentrated, everything Ren Yu saw seemed to move in slow motion!
His mind was quick, and his body could keep up. That was precisely why he was confident he could cut down the Honkai Emperor.
Then, a sudden change occurred!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The constantly spinning blades, each roughly Ren Yu's size, actually detached from the Honkai Emperor's body and flew toward him with fierce momentum.
"Watch out!"
The students watching outside all changed expression and cried out.
Each blade was as large as an adult. With dozens of them firing at once, anyone would be terrified.
Clang!
But in the next instant, the sound of metal striking blades rang out.
A series of sparks burst into existence across the arena!
Ren Yu slashed again and again, horizontally and vertically. The sword in his hand nearly became a crimson afterimage, its flashes crisscrossing as it blocked every flying blade hurtling toward him.
Several seconds later, twitching remnants of the Honkai Beast littered the ground.
"Th-That's still a human?"
The students who saw this were dumbfounded.
Yet the black-haired man on the screen did not stop there. After cutting down the wing blades, his eyes locked onto the Honkai Emperor's main body nearby.
Was he going to press the attack?!
