“My family was running a martial arts school for decades. I’ve won the all-around martial arts championship in Yanzhou…”Deng Xue Ling, who was standing nearby came up to talk with Zhao Yu.
No wonder she kept a long sword in the classroom. Zhao Yu acknowledged the origin of the sword behind her now.
“The reason we asked if you have studied any martial arts is that we’ve found those with such a background become much stronger after gaining enhanced abilities compared to other enhancers without fighting experience…”
Zhao Yu agreed with this. After all, someone who had trained in martial arts diligently for years would have better understanding of their body and far superior control compared to ordinary people.
With combat skills, they are much stronger than the average person during a fight.
It was finally decided that the most dangerous operation would consist of six members.
Xiao Long and his three friends, along with Deng Xue Ling and another girl carrying a long sword.
All six of them had a foundation in combat, each mastering one or several martial arts skills.
“Zhao Yu, we’re off to carry out the mission. Please take good care of the remaining students…” Deng Xue Ling was more diplomatic than Xiao Xiao Long as she still considering Zhao Yu’s feelings.
Unlike Xiao Xiao Long, who stopped talking to Zhao Yu after learning he hadn’t studied martial arts.
Anyone who hadn’t learned a certain martial art, even a five-times enhancer, was just an ordinary person.
Too weak!
After all, he had won the Yanzhou University Boxing Championship. He placed a high value on combat skills, even more than physical fitness.
“I’ll do my best…” Zhao Yu, himself only a five-times enhancer, felt apprehensive at the thought of facing a hundred Ape Claw Beasts.
With his current strength, facing a single Ape Claw Beast meant he had to fight with the strategy of trading injury for injury, let alone facing a hundred.
Luckily, there were quite a few Enhancers present. Other than Xiao Xiao Long and his team, the rest of them were with him, along with the remaining 700 students, dealing with the 100 Ape Claw Beasts.
As they chatted casually, the other students quietly waited nearby.
At that moment, nearly everyone’s eyes were on their small group of over twenty people.
In everyone’s eyes, these twenty-plus were the real core figures of the mission.
Major decisions were made within this small group.
Other ordinary students could only follow orders.
In any other place, some might have looked down on this, but with monsters everywhere, they couldn’t survive without relying on these people.
Although they were few in number, nobody envied them; they just admired them.
Many students below looked on eagerly, wishing they could immediately kill a monster and become an enhancer to join this elite group.
Out of the 72 classes waiting on the grass, most didn’t have any enhancers, and each class was at full capacity with ten students.
In contrast, Class 13 of Art had only eight members present, naturally arousing envy from many.
“Your class is amazing, with two enhancers…”
“Heh, that’s nothing. Our class’s Zhao Yu is a five-times enhancer. He’s a real hero!” Wang Zi Jun said proudly.
“Whoa, a five-times enhancer!”
The surrounding classes immediately showed admiration expressions.
Huo Li Juan initially didn’t care much for Zhao Yu, but she didn’t expect him to be a five-times enhancer.
Moreover, the reaction of students from other classes surprised her.
She wanted to say something, as she didn’t have any relationship with Zhao Yu. On the contrary, she had looked down on him several times.
Wang Zi Jun seemed triumphant, talking about Zhao Yu as if he were someone special to him, referring to him as “Brother Yu.”
This made Huo Li Juan felt uncomfortable. She regretted her earlier rashness.
If she hadn’t reacted so mighty upon first seeing Zhao Yu, could she now be casually boasting to other students, thanks to her connection with Wang Zi Jun?
Huo Li Juan looked around and noticed that nearly all the students’ attention was on the twenty-plus enhancers in the front, with looks of either envy or admiration in their eyes.
This made her itch with desire!
She loved being the center of attention. Previously, thanks to her status as an eighth-grade citizen, she became a prominent figure in Class 13 of Art.
Unfortunately, there were several eighth-grade citizens in every class, and her abilities weren’t enough to make her known throughout the school.
Furthermore, not many freshmen even knew who Huo Li Juan was, except for a few classes around her.
Huo Li Juan fantasized about improving her relationship with Zhao Yu. If he greeted her in such a public setting, it would be wonderful.
Just thinking about the envy of the entire school made Huo Li Juan shiver with excitement.
But soon, she felt dejected, realizing that given her previous attitude for Zhao Yu, he was unlikely to be friendly towards her, especially not in public.
It was all Wang Zi Jun’s fault for not speaking up sooner!
She felt annoyed, blaming Wang Zi Jun.
If he hadn’t kept the truth hidden, how could she have not known Zhao Yu was a five-times enhancer?!
Turning her head, Huo Li Juan’s anger was burning in her heart..
