Chapter 54: You Will Definitely Be Number One

In the school’s leaders’ meeting room.

Principal Zheng looked at the name list drawn up by the various classes and frowned in thought. “Instructor Shen, during the combat assessment last time, many outstanding students at the second level of blood essence did not participate. Can’t you give them a chance?”

Shen Jing said indifferently, “If they don’t even have the courage to take the combat assessment, then despite being outstanding, they still do not deserve to be nurtured.”

“But…”

Principal Zheng wanted to persuade Shen Jing to give those students another chance, but Shen Jing interrupted him. “Alright, Principal Zheng, let’s nurture the students on the list. In addition to these students, I’ve also specially transferred a few geniuses from the Yanjing Elite Training Camp. I believe that with them around, the other students of Qu City High School will also work harder!”

“Yanjing Elite Training Camp?” The dean and Department Director Hong were stunned.

Department Director Hong was the first to speak. “Instructor, other than the peerless genius, the other outstanding students in Qu City High School are only at Xu Ling’s level. If we let these students stay with the geniuses of the Yanjing Elite Training Camp, I’m afraid it won’t turn out well.”

“That’s right, Instructor Shen. I heard that the geniuses in that training camp have all at least reached the level of martial artists. The most outstanding of them has even reached the intermediate-level, and their combat strength can be comparable to high-level martial artists.” The dean also could not help but say, “Letting such geniuses come over might very well dampen the enthusiasm of Xu Ling and the others.”

Instructor Shen shook his head. “Only by being with outstanding geniuses can you grow faster. If you can’t even withstand such a small blow, you’re destined to have no potential!”

“Alright!”

Seeing Instructor Shen’s firm attitude, Principal Zheng and the dean stopped persuading.

…

For the entire day, all the classes were discussing the focused training class and were not in the mood for class.

As for Zhou Hao, he was thinking about the Life Stone. He could not wait for school to end. When school ended, Zhou Hao immediately changed into his red armor and rushed straight to the eastern defense line of the city.

“Senior Zhou!”

“Senior Zhou!”

Walking into the army camp, many battalion commanders and leaders bowed respectfully.

Commander Zhao, He Biao, and the other grandmasters heard the commotion and rushed outside.

“Haha, Senior Zhou, we were waiting for you.” Zhen Hong laughed.

If not for Zhou Hao last night, none of them would have been able to escape unscathed from the Seven-Tailed Cloud Mink’s attack.

Commander Zhao also smiled and stepped forward. “There shouldn’t be any accidents tonight. We can focus on finding those shadow insects.”

“Yeah, we didn’t find a single shadow insect last night. How unlucky. I hope our luck is better today,” He Biao couldn’t help but say.

When a grandmaster heard this, he could not help but look at Zhou Hao. “Senior Zhou, did you gain anything from being the last to leave yesterday?”

The other grandmasters glared at this grandmaster.

Wasn’t he rubbing salt into Zhou Hao’s wound?!

If he had any gains, Senior Zhou would have long told them about it.

In fact, this grandmaster regretted it right after asking.

However, Zhou Hao smiled and waved his hand.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

One shadow insect after another appeared in the army camp square.

There were more than a hundred of them.

Commander Zhao and the other grandmasters were instantly stunned.

“There… there’s so many?”

“Senior… Senior Zhou, could it be that you’ve found the shadow insects’ nest?”

He Biao, Zhen Hong, and the other grandmasters stared at Zhou Hao in unison.

Zhou Hao nodded and coughed lightly. “I was lucky to discover the hidden nest of the shadow insects in Area 275!”

“What?!”

“Awesome!”

“How impressive!”

He Biao and the other grandmasters raised their thumbs.

They all knew what kind of place Area 275 was. In that kind of area, one’s sensing ability was basically useless. Also, the strength of any grandmaster that went there would be severely weakened. Once one was attacked, it was very easy for them to be injured.

Therefore, very few grandmasters dared to go to Area 275, including peak-level grandmasters.

Commander Zhao also sighed in surprise. “Senior Zhou’s courage and confidence is really admirable!”

Zhou Hao waved his hand. “Unfortunately, those shadow insects escaped too quickly. I couldn’t kill all of them. My strength is still not enough!”

Hearing this, He Biao, Zhen Hong, and the others were speechless.

The shadow insects were so fast that even if these grandmasters found them, they could at most kill two to three.

Yet, Senior Zhou killed more than a hundred and was still disappointed at his own strength.

Commander Zhao was also in a mess. If Zhou Hao’s strength was lacking, then what about them?!

“Cough cough, Senior Zhou, you’ve killed more than a hundred shadow insects. Looks like you will definitely get first place in this competition!” Grandmaster Yu said.

Zhou Hao hurriedly said humbly, “Not necessarily. There are quite a few shadow insects. Everyone has a chance.”

Although Zhou Hao said that, anyone could sense the relaxed tone in his voice.

Commander Zhao laughed. “Senior Zhou, you have both luck and strength. Otherwise, if it were us, we might not have been able to kill so many even if we found the shadow insects’ nest. However, everyone, continue to work hard tonight. No matter what, with one less shadow insect, the threat facing the city will decrease by a notch!”

“Yes, Commander Zhao is right!”

“Agreed!”

He Biao and the others spoke up.

Although they all wanted the Life Stone very much, they also knew that they were unable to compete with Zhou Hao for it. However, they were rather happy that Zhou Hao was the one to obtain it. After all, Zhou Hao had saved their lives last night.

Immediately, the group of grandmasters entered the wilderness area again.
