Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Students dispersed after the meeting was over.
Wang Hao went to the office and signed up for the arena fight of the No. 11 High School.
Soon, the news spread throughout the No. 11 High School. Everybody was utterly shocked.
"Are you kidding me? Wang Hao is really taking part in the arena fight?"
"He's from the Pharmaceutics Class. Why would he join the arena fight?"
"He's only a Level 4, no, a Level 5 Apprentice who made the breakthrough this morning."
"That doesn't help. The students who join the match are all Level 9 Apprentices. Some of them are even Masters."
"I think that the boy is overly confident because he makes good drugs."
"Or, maybe something made his head go wrong while he made those drugs."
"Whatever the reason is, I'll beat him to death in the arena. He insulted my goddess!"
"That's right! He's asking to be killed!"
"Beating him up on campus might get us into trouble, but the boy will regret being born after we go to the arena."
"A Level 5 Apprentice. If anyone runs into him, they will surely go to the next round!"
"Haha, that doesn't sound bad!"
"..."
Wang Hao was not interested in the gossip at all. He was now in the laboratory to fetch the three bottles of Passion that he made before. He had to sell the drugs immediately, or he would starve.
"System, I need a combat technique. Do you have any recommendations?" asked Wang Hao.
〈〈The host now owns 10,400 Villain Points. Based on the host's status, this System recommends Thousand Illusions.〉〉
The information of Thousand Illusions immediately appeared before Wang Hao.
Thousand Illusions was a low-level combat technique. It could increase the speed of the hand and create indistinguishable shadows of the hand when the hand was waved. The price was 10,000 Villain Points.
Increase the speed of the hand?
Wang Hao's eyes glittered. The most critical part in drug-making was the hand. If the hand was not fast enough, it would not be able to melt the elements perfectly.
Thousand Illusions could be used in both battles and pharmaceutics. It was indeed a suitable technique for him.
However, 10,000 points was a bit expensive. It was almost all his savings.
"Fine, I'll exchange for it!" Wang Hao gritted his teeth.
〈〈Ding-dong. The host has exchanged for Thousand Illusions. Initializing inculcation.〉〉
The next second, images appeared in Wang Hao's head as if they were etched there.
"My Thousand Illusions has reached the Fluent level!" Wang Hao exclaimed.
〈〈System reminder: The techniques that the host obtains from this System are no lower than Fluent.〉〉
Wang Hao was delighted. His starting point in martial arts would be much higher than that of other people.
...
In the principal's office in the No. 11 High School, Zhong Li was making a long-distance call.
"Hello, Senior Su, this is Zhong Li!" Zhong Li greeted obsequiously without the manners of a principal at all. Any others would be shocked if they saw this.
"Zhong Li? I didn't expect your call. Did anything happen to Wang Hao?" Senior Su asked in a hurry.
"Wang Hao is fine, except that I've discovered that he's an even greater genius than his father was. His Lightning Gait has reached Perfect."
"What? Perfect? Are you sure?" Senior Su exclaimed, suspecting that his ears had deceived him.
If he remembered correctly, Wang Tianyi should be seventeen years old. Even Wang Tianyi couldn't have reached the Perfect level of Lightning Gait at such an age.
"Absolutely. The boy practically lives in the laboratory, but his Lightning Gait is really Perfect."
"Why didn't you report it to me sooner? Hehe. Just wait for it. I'll go to Earth in a day or two."
Nothing could be heard anymore.
Principal Zhong Li was upset after Senior Su hung up on him. He would've reported it sooner if he had known that the boy grasped Perfect Lightning Gait when he was in the laboratory all the time.
If the boy hadn't caused trouble today, he would've still been ignorant!
Somebody knocked the door.
"Come in!"
After dropping the phone, the principal resumed his usual manners.
His beautiful secretary came in and gave the principal a document. "Mr. Principal, this is the list of all the applicants for the arena fight. Wang Hao is on it. Should we talk him out of it?"
"Wang Hao applied?" Dazed, the principal soon found Wang Hao's name on the document.
"The boy has finally awakened!" the principle said ecstatically. "Don't mind him. Prepare a reception of the highest level. Someone important is coming."
His secretary nodded. "No problem, Mr. Principal."
After she left, the principal jumped excitedly. "I'm truly blessed!"
Fifty years ago, because of Wang Tianyi, the then-principal of the No. 11 High School became a superstar of education and won many medals.
Fifty years later, while he was the principal, Wang Tianyi, a super genius even more awesome than Wang Tianyi, was about to emerge.
As long as Wang Hao broke his father's records, the principle would be surrounded by flowers and applause like his predecessor. How exhilarating!
Wang Hao, you're my hope. Work harder!
The principal walked to the window and looked at the playground ambitiously. This place was too small for him. He had to aim for greater planets. He would be a legend in the field of education.
Huh, what's that?
The principal was suddenly stunned, for he saw a person on the wall of the playground who was obviously trying to skip class.
That person looked familiar. He observed carefully, only to discover that it was his hope, Wang Hao!
This boy has no respect for the legendary educator at all! Infuriated, the principal jumped out of the window and chased after Wang Hao.
At this moment, Xia Weiwei appeared out of nowhere and shouted, "Someone! Wang Hao is climbing the wall to skip class!"
On the wall, Wang Hao was dumbfounded. Why was that violent girl here?
