Chapter 36

12:00 PM.

The second-tier students, with average strength, were exhausted from the fierce competition, with nearly half of them injured and unable to continue.

At this moment, the students from the elite class finally stepped out of the classroom, stretched their limbs, and began to join the competition.

As soon as they entered the fray, the intensity of the competition skyrocketed. Soon, all ten admission tickets were in the hands of the elite class students, turning the competition into an internal battle among them.

At 1:30 PM, all the elite class students, except for Helian Lie and Si Jiaxue, joined the competition!

At 2:10 PM, Si Jiaxue slowly opened her beautiful eyes and joined the battle!

At 2:15 PM, Helian Lie, the king of Chixiao No. 2 High School, walked out of the classroom with a majestic aura, officially joining the competition!

Helian Lie and Si Jiaxue clearly had a level of strength that surpassed the other students. The gap between them and the others was so great that even a numerical advantage couldn't close it.

In less than a minute, each of them had secured an admission ticket. They then repelled a group of at least seven or eight classmates, even sending six of them to the medical shuttle.

With this, no one dared to try to snatch the admission tickets from them—after all, there were still eight tickets left, and there was no need to risk death at the hands of these two monsters.

"Helian Lie, Si Jiaxue... Chixiao No. 2 High School hasn't had such promising students in three to five years!" Zhou Yin, the elder of the Chixiao Sect, who had been stern all day, finally showed a faint smile.

"Really boring. If I had known they would only come out now, I would have wasted my whole morning!" In the second VIP room, Zheng Dongming, lying comfortably on the teacher's plump and firm thighs, occasionally raised his head, glanced around, and then buried his head back to sleep.

At 2:30 PM, in the deepest part of Chixiao No. 2 High School, in the ancient training ground of the logistics warehouse.

Li Yao's two index fingers were deeply embedded in the solid wooden floor. Using only the strength of his fingers, he performed a perfect handstand, head down and feet up.

His feet were not together but spread to 180 degrees, flat like a ruler, performing a split while inverted!

His bare feet, spread to their limit, had toes as flexible as fingers, each gripping a 100-kilogram dumbbell!

"Snore... Snore..."

In this state, Li Yao emitted a very strange snore from his nose, his eyes slightly closed, a thread of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth, as if he were sleeping!

Suddenly—

"Ring ring ring ring!" The micro-crystal brain on his wrist vibrated violently, sounding an alarm.

Li Yao's figure flashed, and with two "slaps," two black shadows flew out like lightning, hitting the wall over thirty meters away, causing two loud explosions.

The two 100-kilogram dumbbells were kicked over thirty meters and deeply embedded in the wall!

The entire wall was pitted and dented, with craters left by the dumbbells, resembling the surface of a meteorite, a sight that was truly unbearable to see.

"Little monster, I've removed the restriction on the 'give up' tag. Quickly take it off and join the competition. You have half an hour left!" Sun Biao said with a smile.

"No need to take it off, it's too much trouble." Li Yao yawned, scratching his messy, bird's nest-like hair, and walked out nonchalantly.

At 2:32 PM, Li Yao appeared on campus, walking sleepily toward the student gathering area for the competition. His figure soon appeared on the giant screen in the VIP room.

Everyone was curious about this latecomer.

By tradition, students who appeared so late were usually strong, confident in their strength. However, all the cultivation geniuses of Chixiao No. 2 High School had already appeared. Who was this guy? Was he a complete failure who had given up on the competition?

In the second VIP room.

Zheng Dongming jumped up from the teacher's thighs, instantly becoming incredibly sharp, like a war knife just pulled from a wine vat, with the wine still not evaporated but the killing intent already rising.

"Is he the one you wanted to see? Will he be even stronger than Helian Lie?" The teacher was extremely surprised; she hadn't seen Zheng Dongming so serious in a long time.

"Helian Lie is definitely stronger than him, but if I had to choose an opponent, I would rather face Helian Lie than him." Zheng Dongming stared straight at Li Yao.

"Why?" The teacher didn't understand.

"Because he and I are the same kind of person." Zheng Dongming smiled, revealing shallow dimples on his slightly chubby face.

At 2:34 PM, Li Yao walked into... the second cafeteria!

"What is he doing? There's no one in the second cafeteria!" The VIPs discussed heatedly.

At this point, most of the battles had ended, and many students were sitting on the ground, panting. There were few scenes worth paying attention to, so Li Yao's strange behavior naturally caught everyone's attention.

At 2:35 PM, Li Yao emerged from the second cafeteria, carrying a whole tray of meat buns, eating as he walked, finishing over a dozen fist-sized buns in half a minute.

"Is he here to compete or to eat!" The VIPs were stunned for a moment, and when they confirmed they weren't seeing things, they couldn't help but laugh and cry.

They had thought this guy was Chixiao No. 2 High School's secret weapon, a hidden expert, but it turned out he was just a glutton with an incredible appetite!

In the campus, many students also saw Li Yao.

"Look, look, the unlucky Li Yao is here too!"

"Hey, he's not even injured and is still so lively?"

"He must have been hiding somewhere, not participating in the battle, so he's still full of energy now."

"Hey, Li Yao, don't go any further. Up ahead is where the elite class students are gathered, still fighting fiercely. Be careful not to get hurt!"

Li Yao, while munching on a bun, checked his micro-crystal brain, ignoring the students' discussions. When a classmate kindly warned him, he looked up, smiled, and thanked them, then continued walking forward.

"Is his brain damaged?" The classmate who warned him said regretfully to his companion.

Every half minute, the ten admission tickets emitted a special spiritual wave, marking their positions on the virtual map. Li Yao quickly locked onto the first admission ticket!

...

Nalan Ying leaned against a tree, breathing heavily, her alert eyes scanning all around.

A trace of blood still lingered at the corner of her mouth, but she didn't care, not even thinking about licking it off.

She needed to inhale as much air as possible in the shortest time to keep her mind clear and restore her combat ability.

Because she had— a precious admission ticket!

Nalan Ying was the 21st-ranked student in the elite class, with a 65% spirit root development. Getting an admission ticket was a stroke of incredible luck, and she had no confidence in keeping it until 3:00 PM.

Fortunately, she was in high spirits today. Several top students in her class had gone to attack Helian Lie and Si Jiaxue, only to be severely injured and forced to withdraw from the competition.

The remaining students were all competing for the other admission tickets, so there was no significant threat around her, at least for now.

While her mind was wandering, Nalan Ying suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if someone had stabbed an ice pick into her heart!

The girl let out a cry, every hair on her body standing on end, like a frightened white rabbit, her body reacting instinctively, dashing out seven or eight meters.

Nalan Ying had a feeling that if she had stayed in place, she would have been torn to pieces!

Seven or eight meters behind her, a disheveled, unremarkable boy stood. If there was anything unusual about him, it was that his cheeks were stuffed with buns, and he was chewing nonstop.

"Li Yao?"

Nalan Ying couldn't believe her eyes—Li Yao, the infamous "figure" of Chixiao No. 2 High School, was someone she wouldn't mistake.

"Is it really him? But why did I feel so terrified just now, as if facing a terrifying monster, unable to muster the slightest resistance, only wanting to flee?" Nalan Ying's heart pounded like a drum, her slightly raised chest rising and falling uncontrollably.

Li Yao chewed on the meat bun nonchalantly, walking toward her.

Nalan Ying's scalp tingled, the sense of danger growing stronger, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, no matter how deeply she breathed!

"Completely suppressed by his aura, unable to move a finger, what's going on!" The girl cried out in her heart.

"What's happening? Why doesn't Nalan Ying take this guy down with one move?" The VIPs were puzzled and discussed heatedly.

"This guy is the notorious unlucky one from Chixiao No. 2 High School. Nalan Ying probably doesn't want to bother with him," someone finally found out Li Yao's identity and said confidently.

Li Yao walked step by step to Nalan Ying.

Tilting his head back, he swallowed the last bun with some difficulty, burped, and smiled contentedly. To Nalan Ying, he looked like a tyrannosaurus rex that had just devoured tons of flesh, with blood still visible in his teeth.

"You, you don't come any closer..." Nalan Ying whispered weakly, almost crying.

"Hello, are you Nalan Ying? Do you know where Helian Lie is?" Li Yao smiled politely and asked.

Nalan Ying was stunned for a moment before tremblingly pointing in the direction of the school's main playground: "I, I don't know, he's probably on the main playground."

"Thank you, Nalan Ying." Li Yao nodded in gratitude, completely ignoring the admission ticket, and walked past Nalan Ying toward the main playground.

Nalan Ying's legs went weak, almost sitting on the ground, staring in shock at Li Yao's gradually disappearing back, her school uniform drenched in cold sweat, her body trembling, her abdomen aching, her mind filled with the relief of surviving a disaster!
