“I refuse.”

Su Hei immediately rejected Li Daloong’s suggestion and led the students of Senior Class One into the Forest of Death.

“Damn it!” a man cursed.

A man with red spiky hair was standing beside Li Daloong. He was Li Daloong’s follower, and he was displeased with Su Hei’s attitude toward them.

“Loong, this fellow is merely an intermediate-level martial artist, how dare he treat us like this?” he said.

“Exactly! He’s not the only intermediate-level martial artist out there, but he is so arrogant about it,” added someone from the group.

Li Daloong knitted his brows. He turned and scowled at the spiky-haired man before slapping him.

Slap!

“You guys don’t know anything!” he berated.

Hearing his furious roar, all of his followers were so terrified that they did not dare utter a word.

Li Daloong swept a gaze across everyone before he lowered his voice.

“I’ve already asked around. For the martial arts academy’s awakening ceremony, a powerful person has emerged from it. He has a special career talent, and he can control the four main elements.”

“Wow! Someone so powerful has emerged from the elite classes?”

The spiky-haired man had his eyes wide open in shock.

Li Daloong chided, “Elite class? As if! That powerful person is from the normal class, and it’s their class!”

Everyone looked in the direction Li Daloong was pointing at. Li Daloong was pointing at Su Hei’s back.

It was him!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

That was especially so for the spiky-haired man. His hair stood on end at the thought of what he had said earlier.

He looked at Li Daloong nervously and tears spilled out of his eyes.

“Loong, I wasn’t too loud earlier when I spoke, right?”

In response, Li Daloong merely chuckled coldly.

“Yes, you weren’t loud at all. You were only slightly louder than the music played in discos.”

A dull thud sounded.

When he heard Li Daloong’s words, the spiky-haired man had already fallen to the ground. He was so terrified that he fainted.

–

On the other side.

Cao Guangning was also secretly paying attention to Su Hei’s movements.

Earlier, Cao Guangning was stunned when he saw Su Hei punching Li Daloong earlier.

Su Hei was so fast that even Cao Guangning could not see his movements clearly.

However, when Li Daloong said that Su Hei was an intermediate-level martial artist, Cao Guangning heaved a sigh of relief.

Under Xu Weicheng’s lead, Cao Guangning had secretly measured his strength. He knew that he had a combat strength of 3,500.

Hence, he was akin to an intermediate-level martial artist. There was no significant difference between him and the worst class.

Cao Guangning chuckled inwardly, and there was a vicious glint in his eyes.

“The four elemental powers? Ha! The Forest of Death will be your burial place!”

–

At the assembly point in front of the Forest of Death.

The City Defense Team had set up a 100-meter-wide tent, and there was various military equipment placed inside.

One of the soldiers was busy checking the equipment.

“Do a thorough check. The backup equipment team, follow them! This concerns the candidates’ lives. We can’t afford to be careless.”

“Yes, sir!”

After a while.

Qin Feng pointed at the huge monitor that had been set up.

“Captain, everyone has entered the Forest of Death,” he reported.

Xun Chengwu nodded and stared intently at the surveillance monitor.

He would not allow any martial artist to lose their life if he could help it.

But the candidates had only just entered the forest, and they were still at the perimeters of the forest. Typically, few beasts would be seen there.

“Show me the images of those talented martial artists that you told me previously,” Xu Chengwu instructed.

Xun Chengwu finally relaxed when he saw that no incidents had happened yet.

Very soon, Qin Feng pulled up the surveillance footage.

“This is Li Burou. She was the class president of Class A before she came here.”

Her information was listed clearly beside her image.

Name: Li Burou

Age: 19

Class talent: Mentalist

Elemental ability: Wind

Vitality: 99

Combat power: Unknown

She had not been tested for her strength yet, so they did not know her exact combat power.

However, Xun Chengwu sucked in a sharp breath just seeing her vitality score alone.

“She has a Vitality of 99! That’s an even higher score than me!”

He was a martial artist who had attained Perfected Realm.

Despite her being a martial artist who had newly awakened her talents, Xun Chengwu felt astounded.

“Great!”

Words could not begin to describe the shock he felt.

Xun Chengwu motioned for Qin Feng to switch to the next image.

At the same time, the monitor also showed all the information relating to this particular martial artist.

Name: Cao Guangning

Age: 19

Class talent: Warrior

Elemental ability: Lightning

Vitality: 30

Combat Power: 3,500 (intermediate-level martial artist)

“Warrior talent with special Lightning Elemental, huh? This kid actually tested his combat strength! He’s an intermediate-level martial artist… Not bad,” commented Xu Chengwu.

The special Lightning Elemental power that had caused a commotion among the students only received a “not bad” evaluation from Xun Chengwu.

“Next.”

The image changed once more.

This time, a girl appeared on the screen.

The girl was petite and cute. She had a snow-white puppy in her arms. She was humming a song while walking with a spring in her step.

It was as if she was walking on a country road that had captivating scenery instead of the gloomy and scary Forest of Death.

Xun Chengwu frowned and looked at the girl’s information.

Name: Bai Tiantian

Age: 18

Class talent: Beast Tamer

Elemental ability: Water Elemental

Vitality: 99

Combat power: Unknown

“She’s actually a Beast Tamer?” Xun Chengwu was very surprised.

This was the first time he had seen a Beast Tamer. From this fact alone, one could tell how rare this talent was.

It was rumored that Beast Tamers could tame dire beasts and demon beasts. The stronger they were, the higher their success rate.

The strongest Beast Tamers could even raise an army of beasts, which could influence the outcome in small and medium-sized battlefields!

Xun Chengwu mused for a bit. There were at most nine Beast Tamers recorded to date. The number of Beast Tamers could be counted with one hand.

Bai Tiantian was the 10th Beast Tamer.

Moreover, she was a beast tamer from the Quilton survival base.

This was definitely a joyous occasion.

“All right! This is good!” complimented Xun Chengwu.

Xun Chengwu pointed at the screen and was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear.

“It’s really as you said, Feng. The martial artists who have awakened this time are really geniuses. Quick, let me see the genius who has control over the four basic Elemental abilities. I simply cannot wait anymore!” Xu Chengwu urged.

“Hang on. Let me find… There you go!” said Qin Feng.”

Qin Feng quickly pulled up the image of Su Hei.

The next second, Qin Feng and Xun Chengwu were stunned.

“He is merely watching others fight. This is the top-notch genius that you mentioned?”

–

Su Hei and the others were the earliest to enter the Forest of Death. They were also the first team to enter the central area of the Forest of Death.

Similarly, they were also the first team to encounter dire beasts.

“How unlucky!”

In front of Su Hei was a black python that was five meters tall and wide. Its length was immeasurable.

Under its body, cracks appeared on the ground. With a swing of its tail, a towering tree collapsed. It seemed like its tail could sweep across the wilderness.

In a breath’s time, the dense forest within a radius of more than ten meters had already become bare.

Su Hei tsked. “This is a dire beast? It’s indeed impressive.”

This was the first time Su Hei had seen a dire beast with his own eyes. He could not help but be amazed by this creature.

A mid-level beast that was only equivalent to an intermediate-level martial artist already had such destructive power.

After a few rounds, Wang Dong, Li Hua, and the others suffered a crushing defeat.

From the look of it, Senior Class One was about to be wiped out.
