Night pooled like water.
Eleventh High School.
Wang Hao chased the assassin to the athletic field. With a burst of speed, he instantly appeared at the assassin's side. The Electromagnetic Ring on his finger flashed with electricity as his palm split into countless afterimages and struck toward the assassin.
"Don't look down on me!"
Knowing he could not dodge, the assassin's dagger flashed silver as he thrust it forward.
"With speed like that, you dare call yourself an assassin?"
Wang Hao scoffed and accelerated once more. The palm afterimages were dazzling, and when combined with the Lightning Step at the Peak of Perfection, they left the assassin completely dumbfounded. Could someone at Martial Disciple Level Seven really possess such speed!?
"Pfft..."
The assassin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
"Impossible!!" The assassin clutched his chest and stared wide-eyed at Wang Hao. A Martial Disciple Level Nine assassin had actually been defeated by a high school student at Martial Disciple Level Seven. Who would believe something like that if it were told!?
What he found even harder 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 merely a high school student who had not even left campus. His cultivation was also higher than Wang Hao's, yet he was still the one who lost.
"Talk. Who sent you!?" Lightning coiled around Wang Hao's hand, making him look imposing against the darkness.
"You'll never know..."
The assassin forced out a crazed smile and vanished from where he stood.
"Damn Invisibility Cloak!"
Wang Hao frowned. Relying on his powerful senses, he quickly locked onto the assassin's position.
"Not good!!"
Wang Hao's expression changed dramatically. This time, the assassin had not fled but launched an attack on him instead. Wasn't he afraid of alerting Eleventh High School's teachers!?
There was no time for Wang Hao to think. He twisted sideways and barely evaded the blow. At the same time, the Thousand Illusions Hand produced layer upon layer of afterimages as it slammed heavily into the assassin's abdomen.
With a bang, the assassin flew backward. He struggled once on the ground before his breath instantly vanished. His abdomen had been beaten into a twisted, deformed mess, showing just how much force that palm strike contained.
"Ding-dong, congratulations, Host. You have taken another's life and received 10,000 Villain Points."
I killed someone...
Wang Hao's pupils contracted sharply. Terrified, he stumbled back two steps and dropped onto the ground.
Though he had always acted like a shameless little rascal, he had never experienced killing someone before. He had never even considered it.
On a high-rise building.
Su Mu and Principal Zhong Li had shock written in their eyes. A Martial Disciple Level Seven had so easily killed a Martial Disciple Level Nine assassin. This kid was extraordinary!
Especially when his life had been threatened, the force behind Wang Hao's full-powered palm strike had been astonishing. It was practically comparable to someone born with Divine Power.
Judging from Wang Hao's performance, he not only possessed speed that did not match his cultivation, but also strength that did not match it.
What shocked Su Mu the most was that Wang Hao could actually control that strength and speed. That meant Wang Hao's spiritual power was exceptionally strong.
"Such talent is simply unheard of," Su Mu cried out.
Principal Zhong Li swallowed. He could fully imagine the earth-shaking scene that would unfold once Wang Hao entered Tianbei University and completed his studies.
By then, those fellows at the Royal Academy would probably regret it so badly they spat blood, while the nobles would be left trembling with unease.
"The Royal Academy is really going to lose face this time," Principal Zhong Li muttered.
Originally, Wang Tianyi had been a commoner, so it was understandable that they had not admitted him into the Royal Academy.
But Wang Hao had originally been at their academy, and because of what happened with Wang Tianyi, those fools had actually expelled Wang Hao.
As a result, this super genius had been handed over to Su Mu, allowing Su Mu to raise yet another super genius to sweep through the Royal Academy.
As long as Wang Hao succeeded in sweeping them aside this time, the Royal Academy's humiliation would be even greater than when Wang Tianyi had beaten them last time.
Thinking of this, Principal Zhong Li felt that those people at the Royal Academy were simply insane—masochists with nothing better to do.
"Little Zhong, go down and comfort Wang Hao. Don't let him carry any psychological burden," Su Mu said with a sigh. He raised his head and looked at Wang Tianyi's stone statue on the field. The father was a monster, and the son was an unparalleled monster. Was a family like this going to let anyone else live!?
"Yes!" Principal Zhong Li bowed, then leaped down and landed beside Wang Hao.
"Who is it!!"
Like a startled bird, Wang Hao immediately assumed an attacking stance.
"Don't be afraid, little fellow. It's this old man. I saw everything that happened just now, and no one will hold you accountable for killing him." Principal Zhong Li looked at Wang Hao, whose entire body trembled faintly, and reached out to tap Wang Hao between the brows. Wang Hao immediately calmed down.
"You really won't hold me responsible!?" Wang Hao asked tentatively.
"You were acting in self-defense. This old man will testify for you, so what are you afraid of?" Zhong Li smiled faintly. He really was still a student who had not left school. He might cause trouble everywhere normally, but when it came to killing someone for the first time, he was still afraid.
"That's good, then." Wang Hao patted his chest, and his gaze quickly landed on the transparent vest on the assassin's body.
Invisibility Cloak!
Wang Hao's eyes lit up. Forgetting all about his fear, he hurried forward and stripped off the Invisibility Cloak. He also took the dagger from the assassin's hand.
"Principal, I'm heading back first. This is for you too." Wang Hao tossed two bottles of Passionate Radiance to Principal Zhong Li, then quickly left, as though he feared the principal might steal his spoils of war.
Principal Zhong Li froze for a moment. When he saw that the potions in his hand were Passionate Radiance, he felt terrible all over and cursed, "You brat, what do you take this old man for!!"
Wang Hao turned back and waved, raising his brows. "I understand. I understand everything!"
Principal Zhong Li's face went completely dark. What exactly did this brat understand!? This was blatant slander, all right!
"Forget it!" Principal Zhong Li rubbed his brow and took a deep breath to calm himself. He had already witnessed Wang Hao's shamelessness, so one more incident made little difference.
"Little Zhong, investigate thoroughly and find out who did this," Su Mu transmitted to Principal Zhong Li.
"Sigh, looks like I won't be getting a peaceful night's sleep again." Principal Zhong Li sighed. Looking at the Passionate Radiance in his hand, he realized he had nowhere to put it and could only slip it into his pocket before vanishing from the spot...
