The night was like water.
Eleventh High School.
Wang Hao chased the assassin to the sports field, a burst of acceleration bringing him instantly to the assassin's side. The Electromagnetic Ring on his finger flickered with a bolt of electric light, and his palm transformed into a blur of afterimages as it struck toward the assassin.
"Don't look down on me!"
The assassin knew he couldn't dodge, so the Dagger in his hand flashed a silver light as he stabbed forward.
"With speed like that, you dare call yourself an assassin?"
Wang Hao sneered, his pace quickening further. The countless palm afterimages dazzled the eyes, and combined with the Peak of Perfection Lightning Step, the assassin was completely dumbfounded. Could someone at Martial Disciple Level Seven really possess speed like this!?
"Pfft..."
The assassin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.
"Impossible!!" The assassin clutched his chest, eyes wide as he stared at Wang Hao. A Martial Disciple Level Nine assassin had lost to a Martial Disciple Level Seven High School Student. Who would believe such a thing if it were told!?
What he found hardest to accept was that Wang Hao had defeated him in a single move.
He was an assassin who had survived countless life-and-death battles, while the other party was just a student who hadn't even left school. Moreover, his cultivation was higher than his opponent's, yet even so, he was still the one who lost.
"Speak, who sent you!" Wang Hao's hand crackled with a bolt of lightning, making him look imposing and fierce against the backdrop of the night.
"You'll never know..."
The assassin twisted his face into a mad grin, then vanished from the spot again.
"Damn Invisibility Cloak!"
Wang Hao furrowed his brow, but with his keen perception, he quickly locked onto the assassin's position.
"Not good!!"
Wang Hao's expression shifted drastically. This time, the assassin hadn't run—he was attacking instead. Wasn't he afraid of alerting the teachers of Eleventh High School!?
Time didn't allow Wang Hao to dwell on it. He sidestepped, narrowly dodging the strike, and at the same time, the Thousand Illusions Hand swept out with a cascade of afterimages, slamming heavily into the assassin's abdomen.
With a bang, the assassin flew backward, struggled on the ground for a moment, then went completely still. His abdomen was twisted and deformed from the blow, showing just how much force that palm had carried.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for taking another's life. You have earned 10,000 Villain Points."
"I killed someone..."
Wang Hao's pupils contracted sharply. He stumbled back two steps in fright and plopped down onto the ground.
Though his personality had always been a bit sly and mischievous, killing someone was something he had never experienced—not even thought about.
On the high building.
Su Mu and Principal Zhong Li both had looks of shock in their eyes. A Martial Disciple Level Seven had killed a Martial Disciple Level Nine assassin so easily. This kid was extraordinary!
Especially when his life was threatened, the force behind Wang Hao's full-power palm was astonishingly great, almost comparable to Divine Power.
And from Wang Hao's performance, it was clear he not only possessed speed that didn't match his cultivation level but also strength that didn't match it.
What shocked Su Mu the most was that Wang Hao could control this power and speed, which meant his mental strength was incredibly formidable.
"Such talent is unheard of." Su Mu exclaimed.
Principal Zhong Li swallowed hard. He could fully imagine the earth-shattering scene when Wang Hao entered Tianbei University and completed his studies.
By then, those guys from the Royal Academy would probably regret it so much they'd spit blood, and the nobles would be trembling with unease.
"The Royal Academy is going to lose a lot of face this time." Principal Zhong Li muttered to himself.
Originally, Wang Tianyi was a commoner, so it was somewhat understandable that they hadn't taken him into the Royal Academy.
But now, Wang Hao had been in their academy from the start, yet those idiots kicked him out because of Wang Tianyi's matter.
This had sent another super genius into Su Mu's hands, allowing Su Mu to once again train a super genius to sweep through the Royal Academy.
As long as Wang Hao succeeded this time, the Royal Academy's face would be slapped even harder than when Wang Tianyi had done it.
Thinking of this, Principal Zhong Li felt that those guys from the Royal Academy were simply insane, masochists who had nothing better to do.
"Xiao Zhong, go down and comfort Wang Hao. Don't let him carry any psychological burden." Su Mu let out a breath, looked up at the Stone Statue of Wang Tianyi on the sports field, and thought: This father was a monster, and the son is an even greater monster. How could such a family let others live!?
"Yes!" Principal Zhong Li bowed slightly, then leaped up and landed beside Wang Hao.
"Who!!"
Wang Hao, like a startled bird, immediately assumed an attacking stance.
"Don't be afraid, little one. It's me. I saw everything just now, and no one will hold you responsible for the killing." Principal Zhong Li looked at Wang Hao, whose whole body was trembling slightly, and reached out a finger to tap Wang Hao's forehead, instantly calming him down.
"Really, no one's going to hold me responsible!?" Wang Hao asked tentatively.
"This was self-defense. I'll vouch for you. What are you afraid of!" Zhong Li smiled faintly. After all, this was still a student who hadn't left school. No matter how much trouble he usually stirred up, when it came to killing someone for the first time, he was still scared.
"That's good then." Wang Hao patted his chest, and his gaze quickly fell on a transparent vest on the assassin's body.
The Invisibility Cloak!
Wang Hao's eyes lit up. Forgetting his fear, he rushed forward and stripped off the Invisibility Cloak, also taking the Dagger from the assassin's hand.
"Principal, I'm heading back first. And here, this is for you." Wang Hao tossed two bottles of Passionate Radiance to Principal Zhong Li, then quickly ran off, as if afraid the principal would try to take his spoils.
Principal Zhong Li froze for a moment. When he clearly saw that the potion in his hand was Passionate Radiance, he felt utterly terrible and burst out cursing, "You little brat, what kind of person do you take me for?!"
Wang Hao turned back and waved his hand, raising an eyebrow. "I get it, I get it all!"
Principal Zhong Li's face went completely dark. What exactly did this kid think he understood!? This was outright slander, plain and simple!
"Forget it!" Principal Zhong Li rubbed his brow and took a deep breath to calm himself. After all, he had already witnessed Wang Hao's shamelessness; one more time wouldn't make a difference.
"Xiao Zhong, thoroughly investigate who did this." Su Mu transmitted his voice to Principal Zhong Li.
"Sigh, looks like I won't be getting a solid night's sleep again tonight." Principal Zhong Li sighed, glanced at the Passionate Radiance in his hand, found nowhere to put it, could only stuff it into his pocket, and then vanished from the spot...
