When the students turned their attention back to the arena, they saw Zhao Xunwen's face deathly pale as he lay curled up on the ground, both hands protecting his balls, his expression full of agony.
Beside Zhao Xunwen, Wang Hao drew his leg back, patted the dumbfounded referee on the shoulder, and said seriously, "Referee, let me state first that this wasn't a sneak attack. I settled our private grudge according to the method you suggested. Now we can begin the Arena Competition."
Begin your sister's Arena Competition!
How was this supposed to begin now!?
The referee glanced at the unconscious Zhao Xunwen. With that kick, his balls had definitely shattered. Where would he find the strength to stand up and compete with Wang Hao!?
At the same time, ten thousand Cao Ni Mas were stampeding through the referee's heart. He swore that he would never speak to Wang Hao again. This bastard was too shameless. Not only had he left him speechless, but he had even exploited a loophole in his words.
In the end, the referee could not make a ruling and could only send a message to Principal Zhong Li, asking him to decide.
VIP Area.
Su Mu rubbed his brow, feeling that the task of educating Wang Hao would be extremely difficult from now on.
From these two Arena Competitions, he could tell that Wang Hao had a strong ability to adapt. Even when faced with an opponent stronger than himself, he could still deal with them easily through clever little tricks.
He was very pleased about this. That way, he would not have to worry about Wang Hao suffering losses in the future.
However, Wang Hao's Education had to be addressed quickly. Otherwise, if this child ever went bad, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Senior Su, what do you think about this matter..." Principal Zhong Li asked, forcing himself to speak.
Su Mu said softly, "Although his methods were somewhat shameless, Wang Hao cannot be blamed entirely. Your referee bears responsibility as well."
"Yes, yes, yes. Rest assured, Senior Su. I will definitely find proper referees in the future." Principal Zhong Li hurriedly nodded in agreement. How could he fail to see that Su Mu was protecting Wang Hao?
Still, that made sense. If Wang Hao were eliminated now, he could forget about the Four Key Universities.
Although it would be easy for someone of Su Mu's standing to admit Wang Hao into Tianbei University, the reputation of using the back door would not sound good in the end.
After all, the higher the position held by important figures like Su Mu, the more they cared about saving face.
"That's right. We should learn from this as well and find professional referees in the future." The principals of the various universities were all shrewd people, and they promptly nodded in agreement.
"Such an unprofessional referee not only talks too much, but also misleads contestants. That is truly inappropriate."
"A referee is responsible for determining victory and defeat. He should not talk so much."
"A referee who misleads contestants is simply despicable."
"..."
Su Mu glanced back, a faint smile tugging at his lips. He was quite satisfied with the principals' performance. Since that was the case, he would stay and watch the Hundred Schools Competition.
Because Wang Hao's identity was special, Su Mu had no intention of revealing it for the time being, even after Wang Hao entered Tianbei University.
Only after Wang Hao swept through the Royal Academy would he reveal it, making the Royal Academy lose face once more.
Therefore, Wang Hao absolutely could not be exposed in advance, and the matter of entering through the back door was out of the question.
Besides, Wang Hao's Lightning Step had reached the Peak of Perfection. He had more than enough qualifications to enter Tianbei University by exception. It did not count as using the back door at all.
Very soon, the referee on the arena received Principal Zhong Li's reply, telling him to talk less in the future. At the same time, he was to announce Wang Hao's victory and his successful advancement into the Top Four Competition.
When the referee announced Wang Hao's victory with a dark expression, the students below the stage instantly erupted.
"Are you kidding me? He sneak-attacked someone and still gets into the top four!?"
"Something fishy is going on. There has to be something fishy here."
"Wang Hao must have given Passionate Radiance to the principal, or he never would have passed."
"Damn, brother, where did you hear that!?"
"Do we even need a source? Wang Hao is dirt poor. Other than Passionate Radiance, what else does he have worth offering!?"
"That makes sense. No wonder when Wang Hao skipped class last time, he was supposedly punished by having to carve Stone Statues, but behind the scenes he ate luxurious set meals every day for three straight days. So they had been acting in collusion all along."
"That analysis makes perfect sense. I never realized the principal was that kind of person."
"I was wondering why that old principal had such a beautiful long-legged female secretary. So that was what was going on."
"When there's work, the secretary does it. When there's no work, he does the secretary. The principal may be old, but his heart is still young!"
"He is simply an Old Lecher. Add that bastard Wang Hao, and Eleventh High School's reputation is about to become infamous."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Principal Zhong Li was so furious he nearly spat blood. Those little bastards' imaginations were far too outrageous.
At the same time, the principals of the various universities looked at Principal Zhong Li with meaningful expressions. Even Su Mu's gaze had become somewhat strange.
Su Mu even found himself wondering whether Wang Hao had gone bad because the beam above was crooked, causing the ones below to follow suit.
Wang Hao was also very surprised that he had actually passed just like that. He had even prepared plenty of arguments!
Could it be that old Principal Zhong Li really was old but still had a young heart? It looked like he had to give him two bottles next time they met. Otherwise, if no one cleaned up after him when he did bad things in the future, that would be troublesome.
At that moment, Principal Zhong Li felt like crying without tears. How had his lifetime of prestige been ruined by Wang Hao, that little bastard? He could even feel the title of legend of the education world drifting farther and farther away from him.
On the arena, Wang Hao ignored the accusations and instead listened with delight to the system's voice in his ear. "Ding dong. Congratulations, host. You have rendered someone incapable of producing descendants with a single kick. Your evil rating is utterly outrageous. You have received 10,000 Villain Points."
"Another ten thousand points in the bank. I have more than forty-one thousand points now. It's time to strengthen myself again." Wang Hao opened his Smart Bracelet and discovered that the one million Gao Damei had promised him had already arrived.
After the four participating students for the top four had been decided, the school decided to end today's competition and continue tomorrow.
Seeing that there would be no more matches, Wang Hao left Eleventh High School and headed toward a pharmacy. He intended to use the million he had just received to buy some herbs and prepare an Enhancement Potion to help himself break through once more.
Of course, he could not forget Principal Zhong Li's two bottles of Passionate Radiance. He had to deliver them as soon as possible. What if the man's efficiency dropped when handling matters for him in the future!?
However, Wang Hao did not notice that a figure had quietly begun following behind him.
Yet that figure did not notice either that every one of his actions was being watched by Su Mu in the VIP Area.
Su Mu said softly, "Xiao Zhong, follow them and take a look."
Principal Zhong Li looked in the direction Su Mu was watching. When he sensed the unique aura of the DY Terrorist Organization coming from the figure following Wang Hao, his expression instantly turned grave.
The DY Terrorist Organization was a criminal organization within the Interstellar Federation. They sold weapons, laundered money, trained Assassins, launched armed operations... As long as there was money to be made, there was nothing those people would not dare to do.
But why was someone from the DY Terrorist Organization following Wang Hao now!? Had he received a mission to assassinate Wang Hao? Or did he intend to drag Wang Hao into their affairs!?
But regardless of which it was, neither was good news for Wang Hao.
After Principal Zhong Li left, Su Mu narrowed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought...
