Eleventh High School's athletic field was packed with people.
Today was the day Eleventh High School held its Selection Competition. The top three would represent Eleventh High School in the Earth Hundred Schools Tournament.
Students who placed in the top ten of the Hundred Schools Competition would represent Earth in the selection trials for the Four Key Universities. Those who qualified would become honored students of the Four Key Universities, respected by the world and blessed with boundless prospects.
This time, Eleventh High School had sixteen students registered for the arena matches, including Wang Hao.
However, among these sixteen students, the strongest were Xia Weiwei and a beautiful girl named Le Xuan. Both had successfully broken through to Martial Disciple Level Nine last night.
The weakest was undoubtedly Wang Hao. He had also broken through last night, reaching Martial Disciple Level 6, leaving him far behind the other contestants.
"Quiet, everyone. Now, please have the sixteen contestants come up and draw lots," the referee announced from the arena, microphone in hand.
Soon, the sixteen contestants stepped onto the stage, and cheers immediately erupted from below.
"Miss Xia Weiwei, no matter how you change, I'll still love you!!"
"Miss Le Xuan, I love you!!"
"Lin Tingbai, you're the most handsome! I like you!!"
"Zhao Xunwen, you're the strongest! Beat that scumbag Wang Hao to death!!"
"Yeah, beat that scumbag Wang Hao to death!!"
"Beat that scumbag Wang Hao to death!!"
"..."
Not far from the arena stood a temporary VIP section, where the principals of Earth's major schools were watching the matches alongside Su Mu.
Hearing the students of Eleventh High School chanting in unison, Principal Zhong Li's heart skipped a beat. What the hell had this little bastard done to make everyone hate him so much!?
"A scumbag?"
Su Mu narrowed his eyes, the corners of his lips rising despite himself. He had never expected Wang Tianyi's son to be such a playboy.
Principal Zhong Li cautiously glanced at Su Mu. Seeing no anger on his face, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Principal Zhong Li sent the referee a message, telling him to get the competition underway quickly.
The drawing soon ended. Wang Hao's opponent was a guy named Lin Tingbai, a Martial Apprentice Level Eight. He was extremely handsome and one of Eleventh High School's most prominent heartthrobs.
He was also Xia Weiwei's most devoted protector.
Once the matchups were announced, all eight arenas began at once.
Standing in the arena, Wang Hao looked at the smug Lin Tingbai before him while the cheers of Lin Tingbai's fan club rang in his ears.
"Wow, Lin Tingbai, you're so incredibly handsome!"
"My favorite, Lin Tingbai, go!"
"Lin Tingbai, go! Beat that scumbag Wang Hao to death!!"
"..."
Lin Tingbai's lips curled into a charming smile. "Wang Hao, now that you've fallen into my hands, you're out of luck."
The moment he spoke, a cold gleam flashed through Lin Tingbai's eyes. Ever since Wang Hao had insulted the goddess Weiwei in his heart, Wang Hao's fate had already been decided.
Wang Hao curled his lip. This Lin Tingbai really is a flamboyant bastard!
"Are both sides ready!?" The referee looked at them. Once both nodded, he dropped his hand. "Begin!"
"Hah!"
Lin Tingbai shouted, stomping hard against the ground and leaping more than ten meters into the air. Two distinct footprints appeared in the ground beneath him.
"So strong! He's probably almost at Martial Disciple Level Nine."
The students below were stunned. That move alone had already left ninety-nine percent of Eleventh High School's students ashamed of their own inferiority.
"Lin Tingbai is so handsome!" a girl said dreamily as she watched him.
"At Eleventh High School, the only man who can compare to Lin Tingbai is Zhao Xunwen."
"But Zhao Xunwen is just a musclehead. How could he be as handsome as Lin Tingbai? Lin Tingbai is the real school heartthrob."
"Ugh, what a pity. Lin Tingbai only has eyes for that Fox Spirit, Xia Weiwei."
"Isn't that right? But what's so great about that violent girl Xia Weiwei? And Wang Hao even managed to win her over."
"Tsk, tsk. Wang Hao is really pitiful. He offended Lin Tingbai for no reason at all."
"After today, we might never see Wang Hao again."
"Exactly. Wang Hao may be good with potions, but he insisted on joining an arena match. Isn't that just courting death!?"
"..."
"Wang Hao, experience what real power is. This isn't something a potion geek like you can play with."
Lin Tingbai's aura surged as he lunged forward like a ferocious tiger. A silver ring on his finger flashed with purple lightning, filled with dense, solid destructive force and overwhelming dominance.
"Electromagnetic Ring!"
Wang Hao's expression changed. Not daring to hesitate, he used Lightning Step and swiftly dodged aside.
"Rumble!!"
After Wang Hao evaded the attack, the spot where he had been standing had been blasted into a huge crater. Chunks of shattered stone flew out, while electric light crackled endlessly over the pit.
The VIP section.
The principals of the various schools all sprang to their feet in shock. What had they just seen? Those fluid, seamless movements were undoubtedly a movement technique at Peak of Perfection.
But why would such a movement technique appear on a high school student? Even among the university students of the Four Key Universities, few could comprehend a movement technique at Peak of Perfection.
At the same time, the principals of the various schools all turned their gazes toward Su Mu. Was this why Su Mu had come to Eleventh High School!?
Su Mu's body trembled slightly. It was a tremor of excitement. Although he had long known that Wang Hao had comprehended a movement technique at Peak of Perfection, seeing it with his own eyes still made him unable to contain his excitement.
"Tianyi, your son really is just like you. He was destined never to live an ordinary life," Su Mu said, taking a deep breath to calm himself. His mind was already considering where to begin Wang Hao's education.
"Impossible!!" Lin Tingbai stared at Wang Hao in equal shock. How could this pretty boy who hid in laboratories have comprehended a movement technique at Peak of Perfection!?
"Hmph!"
Wang Hao snorted and called out to the referee, "Referee, he used a technological weapon. That's against the rules."
The referee glanced at Wang Hao and said softly, "What era do you think this is? Using technological weapons is already the trend. Do you really expect people to duel with cold weapons like they did in ancient times?"
As soon as he said that, all kinds of scornful voices rose from below.
"Damn, where did this guy come from!?"
"Using an Electromagnetic Ring counts as cheating?"
"I think Wang Hao is just broke and can't afford an Electromagnetic Ring, so he's yelling nonsense here."
"Exactly. An Electromagnetic Ring costs tens of millions. It would be strange if a poor guy like Wang Hao could afford one."
"That's true. When he went out with Xia Weiwei, he couldn't even pay for the room. How could anyone expect him to afford an Electromagnetic Ring?"
"Xia Weiwei really must be blind to have gotten together with a poor guy like Wang Hao."
"Not just Xia Weiwei. Even Mai Mengmeng got together with him."
"God really isn't fair. What is so good about Wang Hao!?"
"Actually, Wang Hao is pretty good-looking. He's even a little more handsome than Lin Tingbai."
"But he's a complete scumbag. This young lady wouldn't want him even if he were given to me."
