Wang Hao sensed the chill radiating from Xia Weiwei and immediately scooted his butt to the side.
At the same time, he observed three minutes of silence for those who dared gossip about Xia Weiwei behind her back. She might look adorable, but she was a Violent Little Loli through and through.
Beneath that cute exterior lurked the heart of a little demon, fooling a bunch of innocent male students into crowning her their goddess.
"Wang Hao, aren't you going to make a move at a time like this!?" After checking that Ding Haoxuan was all right, Ding Haojie looked up and fixed his gaze on Wang Hao in the tree.
At those words, everyone froze and looked up. The moment they did, they could no longer stay calm.
Goddammit!
Not only was he holding one girl on each side, he was even munching popcorn while watching the show.
As expected of the man who had carried Xue Qianqin into the Small Wooden House during the competition. He really had guts.
"You're Wang Hao!?" An excited voice came from inside the Mecha Giant Wolf.
Before entering the competition, Zhuo Chao had received a reminder from his father. The reason an important figure had come to watch the competition was because Eleventh High School had produced a genius named Wang Hao.
Hearing that, Zhuo Chao felt deeply irritated. He had always worn the halo of Earth's number one genius. At only seventeen, he could pilot a Level Two Beast-type Mecha, something rare even in the Interstellar Federation.
Yet this important figure had not come for him, but for Wang Hao. How could that possibly sit well with him?
So he swore that he would defeat Wang Hao and prove that he was the strongest, showing that important figure how foolish his choice had been.
Unfortunately, he had searched Shawan Road for two days without finding any trace of Wang Hao. But that no longer mattered. As long as he defeated Wang Hao now, everything would be proven.
"Wang Hao, do you know Zhuo Chao?" Le Xuan asked curiously.
Wang Hao shrugged. "Nope!"
Le Xuan looked puzzled. If they did not know each other, why had Zhuo Chao become so excited upon hearing Wang Hao's name, as if he had run into the man who murdered his father?
"Xia Xiaoniu, that mecha beast is mine. You can handle the rest, right?" Wang Hao swung the greatsword in his hand.
Xia Weiwei snorted. "No problem. I'm going to whip those guys' mouths to pieces."
"Mecha beast!?" Le Xuan's mouth twitched. If he was a mecha beast, then what was Wang Hao? A humanoid beast? Still, they could barely be considered family.
"Wang Hao, aren't you going to use poison?" Xia Weiwei suddenly asked.
Wang Hao leaped down from the tree. "I've gained some insight recently. I'll warm up first."
"Some insight!?" Le Xuan rubbed her brow. Wasn't he laying it on a little too thick!? He had gained some insight, and suddenly his footwork had reached Perfect Integration?
"Roar!!"
Seeing Wang Hao charge toward him, the Mecha Giant Wolf let out a howl and instantly transformed into a streak of white light that tore through the air.
Looking at the suddenly appearing Mecha Giant Wolf, Wang Hao's lips curved into a smile. He violently kicked off the tree trunk and shot toward it like lightning, a razor-sharp aura surging from his greatsword.
At once, a heavy, solid aura swept through the air.
"Roar!"
As though it possessed sentience, the Mecha Giant Wolf slightly bent its metal limbs and rammed directly at Wang Hao with its powerful, hard body.
Feeling the fierce gale rush toward his face, Wang Hao swung his greatsword in the simplest possible manner.
Decapitation Word Art!
Carrying the force to split mountains and sever peaks, it crashed into the Mecha Giant Wolf, striking its metal body with unstoppable force and leaving a gash in it.
Sparks scattered, and the world was stunned.
Wang Hao calmly darted several meters away, then looked back at the gash on the Mecha Giant Wolf's body, his brow furrowing.
Even Greatsword Proficiency at Perfect Integration had only left a gash on the Mecha Giant Wolf. It seemed his weak cultivation was an indisputable fact.
At that moment, however, the world suddenly fell silent. Everyone desperately rubbed their eyes.
Those watching the livestream kept rewinding the footage and watching it over and over.
Only after a moment did an unprecedented uproar erupt.
"Fuck, fuck, is that Greatsword Proficiency at Perfect Integration!?"
"Wang Hao is only Martial Disciple Level Nine, yet he slashed a gash into a Level Two Mecha Giant Wolf with one strike."
"That's insane. He's absolutely an unprecedented monster."
"My heart nearly stopped! Is this guy really just a high school student? He actually comprehended Greatsword Proficiency to Perfect Integration."
"I remember that just two days ago, Wang Hao had only comprehended Greatsword Proficiency to Peak of Perfection. Why did it become Perfect Integration today!?"
"Who the fuck knows!? If I knew, I'd have reached Perfect Integration long ago."
"Don't just focus on Wang Hao's greatsword. Look at his footwork."
"Fuck, that's footwork at Perfect Integration!"
"Fuck you! It's already incredible for the older generation to comprehend even one martial skill to Perfect Integration, but this guy has comprehended two."
"The most terrifying thing is that Wang Hao is only seventeen this year."
"This guy is definitely not human..."
"Wang Tianyi is simply incomparable to Wang Hao."
"More than incomparable—they aren't even on the same plane of existence..."
"..."
Eleventh High School, Principal's Office.
Su Mu watched the livestream with a hand over his chest. His heartbeat was racing wildly, and he could not calm down for a long time.
What kind of monster was this!?
Even if he had started practicing the greatsword in his mother's womb, it should have been impossible for him to raise Greatsword Proficiency to Perfect Integration at seventeen, right!? Oh, and there was also that Lightning Step at Perfect Integration.
"Old Su, you've practiced martial arts your whole life. How many martial skills at Perfect Integration have you mastered?" Mo Li asked blankly.
Su Mu held up five fingers. "Five!"
Mo Li asked again, "Then do you feel like you've lived your life as a dog!?"
Su Mu instantly blew his beard and glared in anger. This old guy really knew which sore spot to poke. Did he really think everyone in the world could compare to that monster!?
"As expected of the son of the brightest star in the history of the Interstellar Federation. He's truly terrifying!" Principal Zhong Li could not help sighing as an image surfaced in his mind of that spirited young man standing before thousands of troops.
Gao Xiong Electronic Technology Group, CEO's Office.
Lin Tingbai stood behind Gao Xiong, staring at the livestream with his mind completely blank from shock. Why was this happening!? Was this really that potion-making guy who hid in the laboratory every day!?
"He will be like his father. He will usher in a new era." Gao Xiong sighed, then said sternly, "Tingbai, I don't care what grudge you have against Wang Hao. If I find out that you cause him trouble, I'll slaughter you with my own hands."
Lin Tingbai's body trembled violently as he hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, Father. I definitely won't trouble Wang Hao again."
"Good that you understand." Gao Xiong nodded in satisfaction.
But Gao Xiong failed to notice the glimmer of hatred deep in Lin Tingbai's eyes...
