The sun rose, bringing a new day to Shawan Island.
At the same time, it was also the final day of the Hundred Schools Competition. Countless viewers on Earth had already pulled up their little stools, waiting for the final free-for-all to begin.
"Ahh..."
Wang Hao stretched and opened his sleepy eyes before leaving the wooden cabin for the restroom.
Watching Wang Hao leave, Le Xuan could not help asking, "Weiwei, I actually don't think Wang Hao is that bad. Could everyone have misunderstood him? Look, he's been perfectly well-behaved these past few days and hasn't done anything else, has he?"
Xia Weiwei blinked her large eyes and thought for a moment. "I think there are only two reasons he suddenly changed. First, the competition is still ongoing, so he can't let his guard down. Second, he wants to use this opportunity to gain our goodwill, so it'll be easier for him to make a move later."
Le Xuan suddenly understood and gave Xia Weiwei a thumbs-up, feeling that her reasoning made perfect sense.
"Whoosh..."
Suddenly, the sound of something slicing through the air rang out. Le Xuan and Xia Weiwei turned their heads to see a Hand Grenade flying toward them.
"Not good, enemy attack!!"
Xia Weiwei picked up her greatsword and stood in front of herself and Le Xuan.
Boom!!
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, accompanied by a deafening explosion.
At the same time, explosions boomed in the distance as well, all signaling that the final free-for-all had begun.
"Wang Hao, are you okay?!" Le Xuan cried out, turning toward the restroom. But the next second, a scream rang out. "Ahh, you pervert!!"
Wang Hao stood beneath the shower completely naked, a toothbrush clenched between his teeth and foam all around his mouth. He glared furiously at his surroundings. What kind of people were these? Did they have no sense of public decency? Couldn't they see he was taking a shower? They just started fighting without even giving him a warning.
"Le Xuan, what happened to Big Bad Egg?!" Xia Weiwei asked anxiously.
Le Xuan covered Xia Weiwei's eyes, her face flushing red. "Don't turn around. That pervert isn't wearing any clothes."
"Pah, he really is a pervert!" Xia Weiwei's pretty face inexplicably turned red as she spat in disgust.
"They're here, be careful!" Le Xuan drew her revolver and fired at the people suddenly charging toward them.
"Hmph, I've been holding myself back for the past two days. Today, I can finally go on a killing spree." Xia Weiwei's eyes flashed with bloodlust as her petite body leaped into the air, her greatsword chopping straight down.
Clang!
Metal collided, sparks flew, and a figure was instantly sent flying.
Everyone around them was stunned. Violent Little Loli was not even as tall as her greatsword, so how could she unleash such terrifying explosive power?!
Not far away, the brothers Ding Haojie and Ding Haoxuan also noticed the battle here.
Ding Haoxuan raised an eyebrow and was about to step forward, but his older brother Ding Haojie stopped him and shook his head. "That group is too strong. We'll suffer if we face them now."
Ding Haoxuan thought about it and nodded helplessly. Going over now would only mean the snipe and clam fighting while the fisherman profited.
"Let's find other opponents first." Ding Haojie tossed his greatsword to Ding Haoxuan and took out a nimble Laser Sword for himself.
Roar!!
Suddenly, a beastly roar rang out, shaking everyone's eardrums.
Everyone turned to look and saw a gigantic wolf forged from metal entering their sight. Various weapons were mounted all over its body, including Military Weapons and technological weapons.
No matter how many there were, though, the damage from these weapons was all Level Two, enough to inflict severe harm on Martial Masters.
"Is this a mecha?" Wang Hao looked the metal giant wolf up and down, his eyes full of envy.
Wearing a mecha was not only equivalent to putting on a layer of armor. Thanks to technological advances, it could also significantly enhance the wearer's strength, hearing, perception, and more.
However, to prevent hackers from invading and seizing control, the intelligence inside a mecha was basically only auxiliary. The primary control method still relied on neural control—that was, mental power.
This prevented hackers from invading and stealing control, but successfully controlling a mecha became extremely difficult. Without extraordinary mental power, it was absolutely impossible to operate one.
"It's a Beast-type Mecha. The person inside must be Zhuo Chao!!"
Everyone stared at the metal giant wolf in horror. It was a Level Two mecha, and even more importantly, a rare Beast-type Mecha. Once its firepower was fully unleashed, it could absolutely sweep through every expert at the Martial Master level.
However, with Zhuo Chao's Martial Master Level One cultivation, even if his mental power was heaven-defying, he could not unleash the Beast-type Mecha's full combat power. At most, he could contend with a Martial Master Level Five, but even that was enough to dominate this Hundred Schools Competition.
"No wonder so many people lost to Zhuo Chao. So the mecha he owns is a Beast-type Mecha." Wang Hao narrowed his eyes as he examined Zhuo Chao's Mecha Giant Wolf.
There were two types of mechas: humanoid mechas and Beast-type Mechas.
Humanoid mechas were compact, easy to control, and did not require much mental power.
Beast-type Mechas, however, were different. They were massive and required much stronger mental power to control. Moreover, due to their enormous size, they could be equipped with numerous weapons and pieces of equipment. Their only drawback was slightly poorer mobility; they were not as agile as humanoid mechas.
"Everyone, hand over your Points Plates, or I won't be polite." The Mecha Giant Wolf spoke.
"All of them?!" Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Zhuo Chao had quite the appetite—he actually wanted to swallow them all in one go.
"Zhuo Chao, there are ten spots in the Hundred Schools Competition. There's no need for you to go this far, is there?" Ding Haojie said coldly.
Zhuo Chao smiled disdainfully. "I think one spot is enough—with me in it."
As soon as those words fell, all the students present came to a sudden realization. They somewhat understood what Zhuo Chao meant.
Before the Hundred Schools Competition began, they had all received hints from their principals. The reason this competition was different from previous years was because an important figure was watching.
If they performed well and successfully attracted that important figure's attention, at best they could easily enter one of the Four Key Universities; at worst, they could be accepted as a disciple and soar to the heavens in a single step.
If Zhuo Chao eliminated everyone now, it would undoubtedly mean that he was the most outstanding one. That would greatly increase his chances of becoming that important figure's disciple.
"Tsk tsk, this guy is so bad!" Wang Hao had already gotten dressed and walked over to Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan, holding a bucket of popcorn as though he were waiting to watch a good show.
"Where did you get that popcorn?!" Xia Weiwei looked at Wang Hao in amazement.
Wang Hao sat down on the ground and pulled Xia Weiwei down beside him, handing her the popcorn. "Who cares where I got it? There's a good show coming up. We should eat while we watch."
The corners of Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan's mouths twitched. Wang Hao did not look like he had come to participate in a competition at all. He had clearly come to watch a live-action kung fu movie.
