Unexpected Things
“What the hell, what’s going on?”
“Didn’t you see? Teacher Li looked at Lu Benwei as if he wanted to stab him.”
“Strange, didn’t Lu Benwei ask for leave?”
“Don’t talk yet. Let’s see what’s going on before we make a conclusion.”
…
Outside the classroom, Li Muchen pulled Lu Benwei to a remote corner.
“Lu Benwei, what’s going on?”
Li Muchen’s eyes were even colder than usual. Lu Benwei dared to skip class for a month?!
Lu Benwei remained silent and let Li Muchen lecture him.
Li Muchen sighed again and said, “If you’re going out to gain experience, then forget it. But what have you been doing for the past month? Sleeping in the dormitory during the day and training your war monster at night. You’ve wasted a month.”
Lu Benwei was speechless. If he were to tell Li Muchen now that the reason he had been sleeping during the day was entirely because he had forgotten to return to his classes, Li Muchen would have vomited three liters of blood.
“Teacher, I was wrong,” Lu Benwei said sincerely.
Li Muchen heaved a deep sigh and said, “Fortunately, the students don’t know about it. Otherwise, you’d have led them astray. As the number one of this batch of new students, you should take the lead and not be like this.”
Lu Benwei nodded. “Teacher, I understand. I’ll set an example and take the lead.”
“Let’s go back!” Li Muchen tilted his head and said.
Lu Benwei responded and turned to leave.
“Wait!”
Li Muchen called out to Lu Benwei.
“In today’s monthly assessment, please get a good result and dispel everyone’s doubts.”
…
Soon, it was time for the monthly assessment. The theory exam was in the morning.
Lu Benwei’s grades were not ideal after a month of classes. However, the theory exam only took up 30 percent of the total score. The combat strength assessment in the afternoon was the main event.
In the afternoon, there was an additional piece of equipment in the classroom. The device consisted of three parts: a helmet, a display, and the main computer.
“The combat strength assessment device will completely replicate your combat strength. In the virtual world, you’ll fight against computer-generated berserk monsters. The more monsters you kill, the better your score will be,” Li Muchen said expressionlessly from the podium.
Someone quickly asked, “Teacher, in the virtual world, can weapons and equipment be used other than one’s own skills?”
Li Muchen nodded and said in a deep voice, “Yes, other than what you said, you can also use war monsters.”
Li Muchen glanced at Lu Benwei and Chu Yan. The others also glanced at Chu Yan. Everyone knew that Chu Yan had obtained a transcendent-grade monster.
Li Muchen cleared his throat and said, “The combat strength assessment officially begins! First, Chu Yan!”
Chu Yan could not wait any longer and skip up to the podium. Before putting on the helmet, Chu Yan looked at Lu Benwei and laughed. “Annoying fellow, don’t get left behind by me!”
Then, she entered the virtual world. Chu Yan was facing a level-20 monster with terrifying strength. Everyone looked at the monster on the monitor with a dazed expression.
“No way, is the first one that difficult?”
“Even Chu Yan would have to take a while to deal with this level-20 monster, right?”
Everyone stretched their necks and stared at Chu Yan on the monitor. However, she only yawned, and a magical formation appeared in front of her.
The formation started to spin, and the Phantom Moon Rabbit came out. Compared to before, it had grown a lot. Its fur was soft and shiny, and it gave off a cold aura.
“Moonlight Fall!”
Chu Yan did not give the monster a chance to react and summoned the Phantom Moon Rabbit to attack!
A cold white beam of light fell, and the silver light scattered, illuminating the monster and annihilating it. The entire process only took three seconds!
Shocking!
Terrifying!
It was unbelievable!
The speed was so fast that it left one flabbergasted!
All kinds of expressions kept changing on the students’ faces, and even Lu Benwei was very shocked.
“That monster was level 20, and the Phantom Moon Rabbit killed it in one move.”
Lu Benwei was shocked.
“This means that the Phantom Moon Rabbit is at least level 15!”
The next stage was still the same. The Phantom Moon Rabbit still ended the battle easily.
In the third round, it used a little bit of strength. Fourth round…
It was not until the tenth round when the Phantom Moon Rabbit faced a level-24 monster that it showed signs of defeat. Chu Yan then took action to deal with it.
“How terrifying. She only relied on her war monster to pass the tenth round.”
“I don’t know, but the first monster is level 20. Three levels to one level, I guess there are a total of 30 levels.”
Some people were whispering.
At that moment, Li Muchen said indifferently, “There are a total of 50 rounds in this assessment! The criterion for passing the assessment is fifteen rounds for a-class and twelve rounds for b-class. But my requirement for you is that all of you must pass the 15th round and above!”
When everyone heard this, they gasped.
“15 rounds? The monsters I encountered at that time were all level 25. I’m only level 23 now!”
“Oh my god, please spare me. I don’t want to be demoted! ”
At this moment, the assessment device suddenly buzzed, attracting everyone’s attention.
Chu Yan took off her helmet. “I’m so bored. I don’t want to play anymore.”
Everyone’s lips twitched when they heard this.
“You don’t want to play anymore?”
“Do you think this is a game?”
Everyone stared at each other in shock.
Li Muchen’s face was ashen. He originally wanted to let Chu Yan, who was as strong as Lu Benwei, take the lead to arouse the enthusiasm of the students, but Chu Yan was impulsive and did not take the assessment.
“Chu Yan, why didn’t you take the test? Not wanting to play isn’t a reason for you not to take the test,” Li Muchen questioned Chu Yan seriously.
“No, I just don’t think it’s necessary,” Chu Yan said after a moment of silence.
“Not necessary?”
“Yeah, I’m already at level 20. I’ll kill any opponent I meet in an instant. It’s not interesting anymore,” Chu Yan said.
The corners of Li Muchen’s mouth twitched. He wanted to retort but did not know where to start.
Li Muchen sighed and said, “Alright, you can come down first.”
“Next, Lu Benwei!”
Lu Benwei got up. When he walked to Li Muchen’s side, he heard him say in a low voice, “Lu Benwei, I hope you won’t be like Chu Yan and please try to arouse the students’ passion!”
Lu Benwei nodded and was determined to clear the game. It was all for the sake of getting good grades to make up for the guilt in his heart for forgetting to attend class.
Lu Benwei took the helmet from Chu Yan and entered the virtual world.
Quite a few people stretched out their necks, preparing to personally witness the true bearing of the number one freshman.
