My stats are higher than yours!

Bai Shuodong interrupted decisively, smiling as he continued, "Because they are very weak."

"What did you say?"

"I think you really don't want to live anymore!"

You deserve a beating!

A casual remark instantly ignited the anger of the three students opposite him. They looked hostile and surrounded Bai Shuodong from all sides.

Not only that, they also deliberately controlled the distance. Under normal circumstances, when facing a multi-on-one challenge, they would keep their distance to give the opponent room to maneuver, but at this moment they did not keep their distance, but instead kept their distance very close.

"hehe."

Bai Shuodong smiled disdainfully, looked at the teacher, and said, "You can say 'start' now."

"..."

Teacher Ye frowned slightly, but still said, "Okay, 3, 2, 1."

"Battle begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three people opposite him rushed towards Bai Shuodong at the same time, and the already close distance was rapidly shortened in a short period of time.

However, Bai Shuodong simply smiled, his eyes revealing the majesty unique to a lion. He slowly and quietly completed his build-up, taking a step forward, and his awe-inspiring pressure erupted instantly.

【Lion's Might】

Upon hearing this move, He Wei, who was at the forefront, froze for a moment, followed by the sound of the spirit realm's judgment.

[Hint: Your use of Lion's Eye - Lion's Might on He Wei has triggered a spirit realm judgment.]

[Note: Mental assessment successful, Willpower assessment successful, [Fear] and [Intimidation] effects are in effect, all attributes reduced by 19%]

[Slow Burst] Initiation!

Bai Shuodong completely ignored the other two and fired a shot carrying the force of 12.4, aiming directly at He Wei, who had briefly lost consciousness due to fear and shock. A terrifying sound of wind breaking suddenly erupted.

"Bang!!!"

The shot hit hard, and He Wei's body flew out like a baseball hit by a home run. His arms and waist twisted in an inhuman way, clearly indicating that his bones had been broken by the gunshot.

One strike!

This is the only strike!

This is the unique charm of slow bursts, with a power value as high as 12.4!

Immediately afterward, the long stick fell towards Bai Shuodong's head. He turned his head at an extremely fast speed and was hit on the shoulder by the stick. Bai Shuodong grunted and, relying on his prior prediction and momentum, kicked out with a simple and brutal straight kick.

[Slow Burst] only reduces his agility, not his speed. In close-range combat, the burst speed brought by strength is actually an explosive increase.

A straight kick with 12.4 force landed instantly in the chest of the man wielding the stick.

"Bang!!"

The next moment, he flew out, drawing a perfect parabola in mid-air, his blood splattering across the sky.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Triumph

'Holy crap! Reload!'

Ke Ming, who was at the very back, immediately distanced himself, beads of cold sweat instantly dripping down his face, and his heart rate accelerating to its maximum in an instant.

Before the battle began, they discussed their strategy. Although Bai Shuodong was not strong, his talent stats were really high, so they had to be careful during the battle, use deception, wear him down, and outlast him.

The results of it?

He Wei, who was at the front, was about to lie when he was instantly killed by a [Lion's Might] attack!

The guy with the long stick tried to wear down his opponent by using the weapon's attack range, but Bai Shuodong perfectly predicted his move and stepped forward in advance, delivering a violent straight kick that made him experience what it means to fly.

Now I'm the only one left!

Ke Ming felt his hands trembling, his eyes fixed on Bai Shuodong as if he were staring at a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

Bai Shuodong patted his shoulder and slowly straightened up.

That blow was powerful, but he had a 5% damage reduction from his maximum health and avoided vital points, so it didn't have much impact on his combat strength.

"Next up is you, buddy."

He looked at Ke Ming, a smile spreading across his face.

[Slow and steady wins the race] Building momentum!

Dragging a long spear, she walked towards him with incredibly slow steps. The [Slow Burst] technique required concentrated effort to use, preventing large movements, but simply walking slowly was sufficient.

"Crash..."

The spear dragged on the ground, making a scraping sound.

The sound was long and drawn out, like a battle song from hell. An invisible shadow hung over Ke Ming's heart, and a sense of terror slowly echoed.

Getting closer...

He's getting closer!

Ke Ming's expression gradually changed; his hand gripping his weapon trembled slightly, and his eyes also trembled.

He knew very well that if Bai Shuodong got close, he would be violently killed with a single shot.

but...

If I don't get close and try to deplete his energy, his mental shock-type control ability will cool down, and then he can use a combination of control and burst damage, and I'll still get killed by a single shot!

How to do?

what should I do?

To commit suicide or to wait for death?

No!

I won't choose either of them!

I...

"I surrender!"

Ke Ming laid down his weapon, raised his hands, and gave a perfectly standard French military salute. The moment he spoke, he felt a profound sense of relief, as if his soul was being liberated.

"Humph!"

Bai Shuodong gave a light "humph," immediately released his charged state, and walked off the training platform carrying his spear.

Since the other party has already surrendered, there is no need to continue fighting. To attack someone who has already surrendered would be too beneath the dignity of a strong person.

He stood tall and proud, basking in the blazing sun as he returned in triumph. His hard work over the past few months had been transformed into strength and honor. The astonished and admiring gazes of countless classmates filled him with immense pride. This was the achievement he had attained through his own efforts.

Did I succeed in the dependency decomposition?

Bai Shuodong asked himself these questions.

No, absolutely not!

This ability is indeed very powerful. With long-term training, it can exert a function far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. However, the truly crucial Lion's Eye was something he obtained through his own efforts.

In other words, if I had changed my mindset sooner, I might have become even stronger.

Different people have different talents

Bai Shuodong is the kind of person who can only fully unleash his talent when he completely releases himself and pushes his spirit and will to the extreme.

If he disciplines himself and trains and works as hard as everyone else, he simply won't be able to show his talent. His combat experience grows slowly, and his combat skills don't improve; he seems like the most ordinary star among countless others.

Perhaps others have different talents and can showcase their talents in this situation, but he is definitely not that kind of person, because he has tried before and found that following the rules and being ordinary will not lead to rapid progress.

The greater the pressure, the faster the progress.

This is Bai Shuodong.

"You won?"

"You won against three opponents?"

"Holy crap, are you kidding me? Those three guys are all top-tier fighters, ranked in the forties or fifties in the warrior class!"

"I haven't even seen how they fought yet!"

The surrounding students' chaotic voices filled the air, and Bai Shuodong's unique reputation spread among the crowd, like a brand new star flying into the sky, shining brightly in the admiration of countless people.

In the crowd, a familiar figure stared blankly at Bai Shuodong's back, muttering, "So, you've become this strong."

The bustling crowd engulfed him.

The tiny man put his hand in his pocket, found a vial, his body trembled slightly, but his gaze gradually became more and more determined. The road to the future was not smooth, and not everyone was qualified to walk to the front easily.

Didn't I already know that?

...

"Wow, you're pretty good! You took down three opponents so quickly!" Xia Yanxin walked up to him, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said, "You're amazing! You're even better than I expected! Will you be able to arm wrestle with me in a while?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

Bai Shuodong spoke with a smile.
