Island Heart Lake.
Zhuo Chao faced Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan, the three watching each other warily. No one made the first move.
Ding Haojie leaned against a large tree, panting heavily. To create an opportunity for Ding Haoxuan just now, he had already exhausted all his strength and no longer had the energy to fight.
As for Ding Haoxuan, after being struck by the Mecha Giant Wolf, he was left with barely half his life and lay beside him waiting for rescue.
Meanwhile, the other students around them began to stir. Of the Four Seed Players in this Hundred Schools Competition, the Ding brothers, Ding Haojie and Ding Haoxuan, had lost their ability to fight; Xue Qianqin had been eliminated by Wang Hao; and Zhuo Chao had lost his mecha, greatly reducing his combat strength.
Even Wang Hao, the super dark horse, had lost his combat strength after cutting down the Mecha Giant Wolf.
Thus, the major contenders in this Hundred Schools Competition were basically no longer a threat.
As for Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan, who also possessed Martial Master Level One cultivation, they could not pose any danger to them. After all, there were others here with Martial Master Level One cultivation as well.
Even if those two women were powerful, two against one would not be a problem. If that did not work, then three against one.
"What should we do, everyone!?"
"We originally had no chance, but now that the opportunity is right in front of us, we have to give it a shot."
"That's right. The top ten can participate in the selection competition for the Four Key Universities. If one gets selected, it will be like a fish leaping over the dragon gate."
"True. As long as we take out the Ding brothers, then Zhuo Chao, there will be three spots left."
"Why aren't we counting Wang Hao!?"
"Wang Hao's a poor bastard. Can't you see he only has a few Points Plates on him!?"
"Fuck, with strength like his, why does he only have so few Points Plates!?"
"He must have been too busy fooling around in the Small Wooden House and never went out collecting them. He was probably planning to make a final burst, but man proposes and heaven disposes."
"Hmph, serves him right. I'll go chop him down right now."
"He doesn't have any Points Plates. What's the point of eliminating him?"
"I just don't like the look of him. I want to teach him a lesson."
"Brother, you've got some balls. You even dare touch Wang Hao? Don't worry, I'll definitely burn incense for you in the future."
"Why burn incense!?"
"Are you fucking stupid!? Wang Hao comprehended Perfect Integration in both Greatsword Proficiency and footwork. Getting into one of the Four Key Universities is already a sure thing for him. If you provoke him, are you trying to die!?"
"Uh... the weather's pretty nice today..."
"..."
But just then, Wang Hao sat on the ground and took out test tubes, an alcohol lamp, a measuring cup, and other potion-making tools from his backpack.
Everyone was stunned at the sight. What did this mean!?
The next second, the world fell silent once more. Wang Hao's terrifyingly fast hands moved nonstop, leaving behind streak after streak of afterimages. Especially those smooth, flowing movements—why did they give off a feeling of Perfect Integration!?
Very soon, Wang Hao concocted a potion glowing scarlet. Without a second thought, he drank it. Right before everyone's eyes, his aura recovered completely in an instant.
Even the injuries on his body healed entirely, as though he had never been wounded at all.
"L-Level Three Recovery Potion..." Zhuo Chao stared at Wang Hao with wide eyes, as if he had seen a ghost.
Other than a Level Three Recovery Potion, which could restore someone in an instant, he could not think of any other potion with such an effect.
But wasn't a Level Three Recovery Potion something only a Level Three Pharmacist Ancestor could concoct!? Why could Wang Hao do it!? Could Wang Hao already be a Level Three Pharmacist Ancestor!? But how was that possible? He was only seventeen years old!
What was even harder to accept was that this seventeen-year-old high school student had mastered two martial techniques at Perfect Integration. No, three. The technique he had used while concocting that potion had definitely reached Perfect Integration as well.
With that realization, Zhuo Chao completely lost the courage to fight again. Competing against a monster like this—wasn't that just asking for trouble?
"Ah, finally recovered!" Wang Hao stretched and rose from the ground. Looking around, he asked curiously, "Why did everyone stop!? Keep going! I can still fight for three hundred rounds. Come on, attack me without worry!"
Keep going my ass!
Everyone cursed wildly in their hearts. They had just beaten him into critical condition, and he immediately sprang back full of life. How could they dare continue!?
And even if Wang Hao stood still and let them hit him, they would not dare strike him.
Never mind how terrifying Wang Hao's talent was; just his ability as a Level Three Pharmacist Ancestor was enough to make anyone hesitate. Did they think the Pharmacist Guild's reputation was for show!?
Even if he did not fight, he could crush them to death with money alone. Who would dare act recklessly!?
"Looks like your poison has nowhere to be used," Xia Weiwei said, glancing at Wang Hao with some glee.
"It'll get used sooner or later." Wang Hao shrugged. If not this time, then next time.
Eleventh High School, Principal's Office.
Mo Li could not help asking again, "Old Su, Wang Hao has comprehended three martial techniques at Perfect Integration. Don't you feel like you've lived your life for nothing!?"
"Get lost!" Su Mu snapped, genuinely unwilling to deal with such a shameless old man.
Yet Su Mu was equally shocked inside. He simply could not understand why Wang Hao comprehended martial techniques so quickly. Could there really be someone in this world who treated martial arts training like play!?
"Senior Su, should we still let Wang Hao participate in the selection competition for the Four Key Universities?" Principal Zhong Li asked worriedly.
With the talent Wang Hao had displayed so far, he would completely sweep through the selection competition. There was simply no need for him to attend.
Furthermore, the Four Key Universities would definitely send people to watch the competition. If another university took a liking to him, it would inevitably become troublesome. After all, no one wanted to give up a genius like this.
"Go, why not go!?" Su Mu's lips curled into a smile. He had already spoken with those three old guys, and it was written clearly in black and white: Wang Hao belonged to Tianbei University.
If Wang Hao did not participate in the competition, how could he watch those three old guys beat their chests in regret?
"Hmph, if you want Wang Hao to participate in the selection competition, no chance. He can only belong to our Pharmacist Guild." Mo Li's face instantly darkened. He slammed the table hard, flicked his sleeve, and stormed away angrily.
"Fuck, that old Mo is really pushing his luck." Su Mu's anger flared. That old bastard dared slam the table in front of him? Was he tired of living!?
"Senior Su, calm down, calm down. Please calm down..." Luo Yao hurried forward to stop Su Mu and persuade him. Yet he could not help feeling both amused and helpless. Things had been fine just now, so why had they suddenly turned hostile!?
"Hmph, old Mo, I won't lower myself to your level today." Su Mu snorted coldly and activated his Smart Bracelet. He wanted to discuss moving the selection competition earlier with those three old guys, lest old Mo keep thinking about Wang Hao every day...
