Chapter 119 Take Nine Punches! You think you can dominate the campus with such a low voice? (Two Chapters Combined)

Bai Zhou was filled with surprise and doubt.

The budding of the "will to fight" shocked Bai Zhou more than any of the Seven Heroes of the Kingdom.

After all, "intention" is the key to advancing to level 5. The fact that he was able to touch upon it even before advancing to level 4 was thanks to the guidance of the incredibly powerful wolf knight in his previous life.

Before this, he never thought he could have any follow-up gains in such a short period of time.

Are pride, envy, rage, and sloth—all emotions—actually a kind of "intention"?
But that doesn't make sense.
If the King of Exams had mastered the power of "intention" back then, he could have absolutely torn Bai Zhou to pieces and turned him into mincemeat, then crowned himself king at Yuanmeng Middle School...

As he pondered this, four third-year students stopped a short distance in front of him, blocking Bai Zhou and his companions' path.

"I heard a senior student came to the school... but I don't remember who you are!"

A deep voice slowly rose, and the red-haired, expressionless man coldly sized up Bai Zhou:

"Xiao Wu is a bad kid, but he is respectful, law-abiding, and courteous to his seniors. How could you beat him up like that?"

"Are you trying to challenge the student order we've established? What gives you the right?"

"How can someone who benefits from the rules by relying on seniority have the right to talk about justice?"

"If you rely on your own strength... then let me show you who has more right to speak loudly in your own concept of strength being paramount!"

The coldness and confidence in his words were almost overflowing; rather than confidence, it was more like a desire to control everything.

This ruler, who desires to bring everything under his control, is named—

Greed's Red!
Just seeing his figure, whether it was Bai Zhou or No. 9 and the others, the name would naturally flash through their minds, just like seeing a fixed road sign with his name inside the school.

And who are you?

Bai Zhou stared blankly at the four people, his muscles bulging as if ready to be on guard at any moment.

The red-haired man nodded and replied, "I am but a humble student council president of this school."

"As you can see, all the rules and regulations concerning students at the school are basically formulated by the student council."

At this moment, the man with short brown hair smiled and took over the conversation:

"I'm the external relations minister of the student union... It's such a pity that you beat up those cute, innocent junior students like pigs."

"People should get along harmoniously and lovingly. If you have any opinions, senior, just come at us."

"Although the four of us are not very talented, we still have some bottom lines that cannot be crossed—disrespecting the elderly and bullying the weak. I cannot sit idly by and do nothing about such things."

"Let me see... let me see what kind of strong desires you harbor in your heart, senior!"

Although his voice was always gentle, there was a certain forceful strength in his tone, as if there was a kind of "stubbornness" and "desire" in it.

This obsessive pursuit of human bonds, this undisguised and unabashed advocacy of one's own desires, is called—

【Lustful Brown】!
"Ugh...this is so troublesome."

With an unremarkable, ordinary appearance, dark blue hair with gloomy bangs covering his eyebrows, and dead fish eyes that slanted upwards as he sized up Bai Zhou, he clicked his tongue in an ambiguous tone:
"Do you know how much effort we put into building such a world? A world without conflict, violence, competition, or comparison, where only seniority matters."

"No one will be a bully or a victim forever, and a world where no one gets hurt can be achieved so easily."

"If such a world could be so easily overthrown, returning us to that dog-eat-dog, competitive, and constantly strife-ridden school era... then sorry, you would be our enemy."

He whispered to Bai Zhou:

"Actually, the four of us have never been united. We usually don't like each other, but if an enemy like you appears, we have no choice but to unite."

"Don't try to unilaterally spread the flame of rebellion to newborns, unless you can watch over everyone for a lifetime. Otherwise, offering your dreams to others without authorization is a selfish act of self-righteousness."

Those dead fish eyes stared intently at Bai Zhou, as if interrogating his very soul:
"Don't you think you're being too arrogant?"

“We understand reality. The world won’t end, classrooms won’t suddenly be attacked by zombies, and we won’t become players who can be resurrected with game coins… We know these things.”

"As we grow up and gradually see the reality of the future, we gradually become unable to pursue our dreams. No matter how much we complain about how tough our jobs are, we know that we can only survive by working. No one can help us understand this."

"I would rather no one ever have to face such a cruel future, but if they must face it one day, let them adapt to it properly in school."

The man explained his motives as follows:
"Compared to the arrogance of the senior students... this is true kindness towards them!"

It's a long and rambling piece of writing, full of empty boasting.

This rule-maker, who sees through the ways of the world, possesses his own twisted set of principles, and resolutely enforces them, is named—

The Arrogant Blue!
"Oh, by the way, senior... I'm the student council secretary of this school."

Only at the very end did he belatedly add a self-introduction.

"Ah."

The fourth man was lazy, always indifferent, always on the sidelines and seemingly invisible. When it was his turn to speak, he would only say a simple sentence:
"Seconded."

“They are all right.”

Its name is "Black of Sloth," which, as the name suggests, makes even speaking seem like a waste of energy and effort.

But on the student council badge tied around his neck, Bai Zhou saw the title of Minister of Academic Affairs.

Under the watchful eyes of these four "student council officers," Bai Zhou slowly frowned.

After hearing so many high-sounding words, he only gleaned one core message:
"So, you're here to cause trouble, aren't you?"

"...It's a perfectly reasonable retaliation!"

After a moment of silence, the brown-haired [Brow of Lust] spoke, his expression still gentle, but his eyes were now resolute and cold.

Four students confronted Bai Zhou from a distance, their brightly colored hair billowing in the air, their "qi" surging through their bodies, and the surrounding spiritual energy unusually active.
A battle seems unavoidable.

"you……"

Bai Zhou turned around and looked behind him, just about to ask them for a hand, when he saw the three of them trembling and about to cry.

The surging spiritual energy that vibrated endlessly in the air could crush them to death with just a slight flow.

"...Can we win?"

"Can we really win against four monsters like these?"

"Senior, you have to do your best! I... how about I do a somersault for you?"

Finally, the one who spoke blankly was the muscular man number 31, who looked like he had no brains at all.

At this moment, the 1.9-meter-tall man looked like a cowering chick, despair evident on the faces of the three of them. Beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads, and their eyes darted around, probably calculating an escape route.

No wonder these wild extraordinary beings have managed to survive until now on their own—it seems they're actually more cowardly than Bai Zhou imagined.

"Fine... you guys just stay behind me."

Bai Zhou shook his head, having completely lost hope in them.

However, it's not surprising that they were blocked by four strange and malevolent forces. They were even connected with the outside world by their spirituality, and had been further sublimated from ordinary spirituality... This was a sign that they had successfully stepped into level 4.

Level 4 extraordinary beings possess a spiritual connection to the outside world, forming a kind of "spiritual domain" within themselves. They are no different from gods when facing ordinary Level 2 extraordinary beings.

Even Bai Zhou, the chosen one, couldn't face a level 4 opponent head-on at level 2, let alone deal with four of them at once!

Fortunately, Bai Zhou made a special trip to "Zhu Luo Ji" the night before he set foot in this place.

This is the first direct battle after Shiraishu's return...

"The student union's opinion may not necessarily represent the voice of the student masses."

"But it's okay, all your flawed ideas, your twisted personalities—"

Bai Zhou focused intently, slowly raised his hand, clenched his fist, and said in a low voice:
"I'll leave it to the senior to correct!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Bai Zhou's figure vanished from the spot.

Taking the initiative is his style!
"boom!"

Spiritual energy attached itself to his fist, and Bai Zhou tentatively threw a punch.

"Kick!"

Stepping forward, [Sloth of Black] made no extra movements, yet it was as if an invisible hand caught White Boat's fist in front of him.

"The left hand of laziness!"

[The Black of Sloth] met Bai Zhou's gaze, his eyes calm and unwavering, and lazily said:

"Why aren't you going all out, senior?"

"You... seem to be getting a little lazy."

"—Tear!!!"

The moment the sound fell, it was as if cloth was being torn apart, and [Brow of Lust] appeared on the left side of the white boat.

It yanked its right hand from a distance, tearing three huge claw marks in mid-air, and fiercely grabbed at the white boat.

Just getting close to that claw mark inexplicably stirred up many erotic thoughts in my mind, and I inexplicably heard indescribable auditory hallucinations.

"Lust is the right claw."

The brown-haired man had a solemn expression, his eyes gleaming with a pinkish light.

"Please take our juniors' demands seriously!"

Bai Zhou strained his muscles, twisted his waist and hips, and was about to perform a backflip when he suddenly felt as if his feet were sinking into mud, making each step incredibly heavy. At the same time, a strange sense of self-loathing rose from the bottom of his heart. Various voices swirled in Bai Zhou's ears, telling him that he was an unpopular, marginalized, and despised good-for-nothing, and that he should hide under the car in self-pity.

"Arrogant Right Kick!"

【Arrogant Blue】is looking down at Bai Zhou with dead fish eyes, his right leg stomping hard on the ground. An invisible ripple spreads out from his right leg, covering Bai Zhou and the three people behind him, including Number 9.

The effect is immediate.

The three of them quickly knelt on the ground and cried incessantly, as if they had done something terribly wrong, feeling as ashamed as three little mice that couldn't bear to see the light of day.

However, Bai Zhou only frowned, his movements were momentarily slowed by the influence, and then he dodged the lustful right hand of the Minister of External Relations... as if he had never had any inferiority complex in his heart.

This also stunned [Arrogant Blue], who couldn't help but let out a low gasp of amazement:
"What arrogance this is!"

Fortunately, at this moment, the student council president, [Greedy Red], who stood above thousands of students at Dreamland Middle School, seized the opportunity and flew over, getting caught in a gap where White Boat had almost no chance to change his move or dodge:

"Greedy left foot!"

"Dominate! Transform my physical energy, my emotions, and my spirituality into the kinetic energy of my left foot! Transform Senior Zhou's kinetic energy into gravity!"

With a murmur, the red-haired man seemed to transform into a nimble swallow gliding through the air, his movements so fast that his figure left afterimages:
"Senior, everything you did was within my calculations, with an error rate of less than 2%... Give up!"

"..."

Inside the command vehicle, the team calculated the data provided by the cameras and concluded that the four strange individuals were comparable to Level 4 extraordinary beings.

"If students alone have this ability, then what about the teachers, security guards, and the principal?!"

The gaunt man frowned deeply, his expression extremely grave.
"Report to the higher-ups immediately. We need more manpower for the subsequent assault, and crucially, we need high-level combat capabilities!"

"We must be prepared for the existence of a large-scale anomaly within the campus, comparable to a Level 6 titled Extraordinary Being... or even stronger!"

"Yes!"

The secretary immediately went to handle it, reported it, and then returned:

"So what now, sir? Is there anything we can do for numbers 9, 31, and 42?"

"..."

The gaunt man stared at the shaky camera feed, heard the three people crying, and remained silent for a moment.

"Just leave it to fate."

"Theoretically speaking, the student council should represent the highest combat power of the Dream Middle School student body. Even if a 'supernatural individual' comparable to level 4 mutated within the school, it is impossible for it to be an opponent of four equally supernatural beings at the same level!"

The gaunt man calmly sentenced "Senior Zhou" to death.

This is tantamount to sentencing the remaining three people, number 9, to death.

"...But the three of them, number 9, risked their lives to uncover very important intelligence for us, clearly showing the high-level combat forces within the campus through the cameras."

The voice paused briefly, then the gaunt man said in a low voice:
"Their sacrifice was worthwhile!"

As he spoke, the gaunt man's expression became very solemn, as if his heart was heavy.

"...Sir?"

Suddenly, his secretary's uncertain words reached his ears.

"what?"

"Look there! That senior Zhou, he he he..."

Following the direction the secretary was pointing, the man turned his head and saw that the situation on the screen had miraculously shifted at some point.

"That is……?"

"Sloth? Lust? Pride? Greed? What are you babbling about! Take this... nine punches!"

The excited voice of the "abnormal individual" came from the screen and echoed throughout the silent command vehicle.

It's said to be nine punches, but there are actually only three; it's said to be three punches, but there's actually only one.

But this punch was unstoppable, smashing the "Slothful Left Hand" that [Sloth Black] was so proud of into 243 shattered fractures, as if it had been hammered 243 times!
"What is this? What is this?!"

Unable to comprehend what had happened, [Sloth Black]'s eyes were no longer languid and calm. He lay on the ground, clutching his left hand, and crawled backward in terror.

"Where did those punches come from! Who threw over two hundred punches?!"

He strongly suspected that Bai Zhou also possessed the same invisible hand ability, and that there might be an unseen spirit behind Bai Zhou who had punched him 243 times in that instant!
"Time has stopped! Could it be that time has stopped?!"

【The Black of Sloth】offers a bold conjecture.

But Bai Zhou had no time to pay attention; he was like a tiger among sheep, wreaking havoc on the remaining three.

Without even using any weapons, Bai Zhou simply threw punches, his movements wide and sweeping, yet subtly containing countless subtle variations, unstoppable and dazzling:
"I can't hear you—I said I can't hear you! You think you can be the school bully by speaking so softly!"

"You guys really need to get your personalities rectified!"

A punch to the face, a correction of one's character!

Two fists to the head, a wake-up call to life!
"Scoundrel! Scum! Incompetent!"

"Your parents sent you to Dream Realization Middle School..."

"Is it just so that they can enjoy their youth every day and rack their brains to dominate the campus?"

As he muttered to himself, Bai Zhou felt a subtle sensation.

The visceral thrill of punches landing like this seems even more exhilarating than wielding a weapon!
"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

The screams were mixed with stern rebukes.

The four school bullies, who walk like crabs, unexpectedly encounter their strictest senior:

"You don't study properly at school, and all you think about is bullying your classmates. Tell me—what kind of person are you?"

"Get back to studying! Do well on your exams!"

"Buzz...!!"

The air vibrates.

In the transparent void where the camera cannot see.

A grotesque monster, vaguely resembling a compass in its left hand, a triangle ruler in its right, and wrapped in a shroud of exam papers, appeared before the four strange beings.

However, the monster's shadow was somewhat blurry, and it seemed to be undergoing some kind of change. Its size was more than three times larger than the Exam King of the past, and its aura was incomparable.

"Roar!!!"

Roaring to the sky, the monster's figure exuded a chilling aura, and in essence, it was in no way inferior to the "teachers" that the four school bullies usually encountered...

Bai Zhou snorted coldly, and three layers of force surged out from under his feet, breaking through the domain restraints set up by "Arrogant Right Foot" with one foot, and then slapped the red-haired student council president with a palm.

The most greedy, domineering, and arrogant student council president was furious, but when he looked up at the palm strike, it was as if the sky was collapsing.

No matter how much he kicked and thrashed with his left foot, he couldn't move away, like a helpless monkey under a mountain.

“I’ve encountered far more formidable opponents than you all…”

Bai Zhou murmured to himself.

In fact, even he was secretly shocked by his current state.

These four oddballs possess abilities far more bizarre than those of [Van Gogh] whom Bai Zhou encountered before, and even vaguely involve some element of "intention".

However, considering that their spiritual sublimation is only at the initial level 4, they are roughly equivalent to five [Van Goghs].

Even if Anguisola were at his peak, he would only be injured after killing two or three of them.

However, Bai Zhou, who had undergone a complete transformation after mastering the "Nine Basic Slashes" and was able to overcome the limitations imposed by the school uniform, was different.

He can kill them all!

No extraordinary weapons are even needed!

His fists opened and closed like knives, surged like dragons, and amidst the crushing defeat of the four strange creatures, Bai Zhou's school uniform trembled and glowed!

It is greedier than greed, more thirsty than lust, more arrogant than pride, and more slothful than sloth!

Bai Zhou even had a premonition...

If he can "eat" all four monsters, his school uniform will undergo an evolution!
At that time, a monster even more ferocious than the Exam King, and Bai Zhou's most capable and docile "pet"—

It's about to be born!

And that's not all—

As the battle raged on, Bai Zhou found himself surrounded by four strange entities, his spiritual domains, now at level 4, overwhelming and engulfing him.

The white boat, freely expressing its spirituality, vaguely sensed some kind of change.

His [Adventurer] path, previously stuck at the peak of level 3, seemed to lack only a little opportunity, but in reality, it was unbreakable.

However, now, the bottleneck seems to be subtly touched, and Baiyang's destiny is trembling gently. Sunlight brushes across the dark sea of ​​ignorance, creating ripples on the calm surface.

This seems like... a chance to advance to level 4!
