Chapter 41: Where are the Fourth Graders?
At the Lingyun Martial Arts Academy, once a student reaches the third grade, they need to undergo wilderness training at the base under the guidance of teachers. This training focuses on learning survival skills in the wilderness and combat techniques against wild beasts.
After nearly a year of surviving in the wilderness, the third grade students have distinguished themselves from the second and first grade students, displaying a noticeable difference in temperament.
Almost every third grade student has experience in battling fierce beasts. Some have even fought with fierce beasts under the supervision of their teachers.
But all of this is unimportant to Su Hao. Regardless of how experienced the third grade students are, they are merely a group of twelve to thirteen-year-old youths, ordinary warriors at best. Even if there is an exceptional talent among them who has reached the elite warrior level, they are still limited to the initial stage of being an elite warrior and fundamentally no different from ordinary warriors.
Su Hao can defeat them in seconds.
After arriving at the residence of the third grade students, Su Hao handed He Qingqing over to Xiaopang and rushed towards the obvious target, the third grade students. He shouted loudly along the way, "I am Wu Xiangwu, here to challenge all the third grade students. You can come at me together."
A large number of first and second grade students had already gathered early, securing good positions to watch and engage in discussions.
Mo Xin leaned towards Jin Dayan's face, widening her eyes curiously, and asked, "Big Brother Dayan, do you think Wu Xiangwu can win against these third grade students? Each of them is tall and sturdy, looking like tough opponents."
Jin Dayan distanced himself and shook his head, saying, "I'm not sure, I can't see through this person."
Jin Xiaohan pulled Mo Xin aside, protecting her brother, and said, "If you have any questions, ask them, but don't take advantage of my brother."
Mo Xin giggled and said, "In my opinion, Wu Xiangwu won't make it this time. The third grade students are different from the second grade ones."
Jin Xiaohan nodded and said, "I think so too. He's too arrogant now."
Mo Xin nodded, "This Wu Xiangwu is indeed a monster and has the capital to be arrogant. But I'm afraid he's going to stumble this time."
Mo Xin turned her head with a sly smile and asked, "Big Brother Dayan, as one of the geniuses of Lingyun Town, don't you envy this Wu Xiangwu?"
Jin Dayan replied indifferently, "Of course, I envy him, but I am just a genius, while he is a monster. Why would a genius compare himself to a monster?"
Mo Xin and Jin Xiaohan had nothing to say.
On the other side, Xiao Yushu stood in the corner, silently watching Su Hao's figure. It was a figure rushing into the crowd without hesitation, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, murmuring to himself, "Wu Xiangwu, I am inferior to you!"
...
Su Hao had already approached a bewildered third grade student and raised his hand for a punch. The third grade student instinctively reached out to block, but Su Hao smoothly dodged the block with a gliding step and landed a precise punch on the opponent's chin, sending him flying high in the air, knocking him out.
Knocking them out was the easiest way.
Without stopping for a moment, he charged towards the nearest one.
The person quickly assumed a defensive stance, anticipating Su Hao's attack.
Su Hao once again evaded with a gliding step, moved to the side, and unleashed an uppercut.
Sent flying!
By this time, the third-level trainees had realized that someone had come to cause trouble.
To attack without even exchanging harsh words upon meeting, how audacious!
As a result, some of them excitedly surrounded Su Hao, shouting that they would beat him up on the ground. More people watched from the sidelines, some bewildered.
But it didn't matter; they would soon understand.
In a short period of time, Su Hao had punched one person into the air and kicked another, either knocking them out or leaving them writhing on the ground, unable to get up.
Soon, the charging suicide squad was defeated, leaving the scene in chaos.
Su Hao didn't stop and continued charging towards those further away, shouting loudly, "I am Wu Xiangwu, a first grade student, here to challenge all the third grade students. You're welcome to gang up on me."
Su Hao rushed into the crowd, wreaking havoc, and each of his punches and kicks carried great power. Those who were hit were sent flying and wailing on the ground.
Soon, the remaining third grade students became scared. Some fled directly, while others who refused to accept defeat tried to charge but were swiftly knocked down and unable to get up again.
"This idiot doesn't know what he's doing. He's too fierce; we can't stop him. Quick, go find Ye Xiaomeng."
"Find Ye Xiaomeng? Can you afford to let her handle this person?"
"Exactly, only Ye Xiaomeng has a chance to defeat him."
"Remove the word 'chance.' Ye Xiaomeng has already become an elite warrior. There's no way this idiot can be her opponent."
"Damn, this idiot is charging towards us."
"You guys hold him back, I'll go find Ye Xiaomeng."
"Hold him back? Who can hold him back?"
...
Not far from the third grade students' training field, there was a huge trial ground where many dangerous but controllable wild beasts were kept. It was specifically used for combat training of third grade students.
At this moment, in a closed room within the training ground, a short-haired girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old was facing off against a massive bear-like creature.
The creature was two meters tall and at least three meters long, resembling a bear in overall appearance, but not quite. Its head resembled that of a crocodile, with a long mouth, exposed sharp teeth arranged menacingly. Along its spine, there were rows of bone-like fins resembling those of a fish, making it look ferocious and terrifying.
This creature was called the Croctooth Beast, the lowest-level ferocious beast. It had the characteristic of slow movement but a sturdy body, making it suitable for third grade students to practice on.
Although it was the lowest-level ferocious beast, it was still a ferocious beast, standing firmly at the elite level. Even a low-level elite warrior might not be a match for this Croctooth Beast.
The short-haired girl suddenly made a move, shouted, and rushed towards the Croctooth Beast. In the instant the beast lunged at her with its open mouth, she swiftly sidestepped, executing a high kick that hit the beast's neck, lifting its front half high into the air.
"Gong!" The Croctooth Beast let out a muffled cry as the short and thick claws instinctively swiped at the short-haired girl.
With a graceful backflip, the girl avoided the claw attack and was about to continue her assault on the Croctooth Beast. Just then, she heard the voices of her companions outside the room.
"Xia
omeng leader, you need to come out quickly. Something big happened at the training field!"
"What happened?" The short-haired girl, Ye Xiaomeng, asked. She launched a powerful kick, sending the enraged Croctooth Beast stumbling backward. Taking advantage of the break in the fight, she disengaged and opened the door, stepping out.
"Follow me quickly. Only you can stop that lunatic!" As soon as they stepped outside, a freckled girl immediately grabbed Ye Xiaomeng's hand and started running.
...
On the other side, the third grade students had already lost their will to resist. When they saw Su Hao charging towards them, they scattered in all directions, each trying to save themselves. For a moment, Su Hao couldn't catch up with everyone, and his attack efficiency significantly decreased.
After a while, Su Hao stopped and said dissatisfiedly, "Where is the backbone of you third grade students? Come over here, and let's settle this once and for all! You can all attack me together, I don't mind."
The remaining third grade students cursed inwardly but couldn't utter a word.
Because they all knew that as long as this brat set his sights on them, there was no way to escape.
At this moment, a large group of people surrounded a short-haired girl and walked towards Su Hao.
The short-haired girl was dressed in martial arts attire, exuding an air of nobility. If she weren't a girl, many boys would probably want to become sworn siblings with her.
One of the third-level trainees pointed at Su Hao, looking distressed, and said, "Xiaomeng leader, it's him! I don't know if he's crazy, but he started attacking as soon as he saw people."
Ye Xiaomeng raised her chin, her clear voice cutting through the air, "That guy, are you here to cause trouble?"
Su Hao grinned, saying nothing, and charged directly at her.
Speaking before fighting would put him at a disadvantage since he was outnumbered. But after defeating everyone, he would have the advantage, and then speaking would make sense.
"Arrogant!" Ye Xiaomeng's expression turned cold as she stepped forward from the crowd and rushed towards Su Hao. She intended to teach this ignorant fool a lesson.
Su Hao's gaze sharpened. The girl's speed exceeded that of a high-level ordinary warrior by a considerable margin. She had some skill.
But it was all meaningless. Su Hao erupted with incredible speed.
"Sliding Shadow Step!"
"Soaring Fist!"
The two quickly made contact, and Ye Xiaomeng let out a cry of pain as she was thrown high into the air and landed heavily on the ground.
Silence!
All the third grade students felt despair in their hearts. Their most powerful member had fallen, was there any hope left for them?
"Let's go! Let's all attack him together!"
"Right! Let's fight side by side!"
"Charge!"
The voices contained endless heroism!
But it was all in vain. When the power difference was too great, the number of people couldn't make up for it.
Finally, after everyone had fallen, Su Hao let out a sigh of relief.
Overall, the third grade students were much stronger than the second grade ones, and this fight had consumed a significant amount of his strength.
...
"Boom!"
The first and second grade students who were watching immediately erupted into noise.
They had witnessed an unbelievable battle miracle, where a first grade student defeated all the third grade students. Whoever it was, they were knocked down in an instant. Even the super genius, Ye Xiaomeng, who had already become an elite warrior, couldn't withstand a single blow.
The second grade students felt a sense of balance. A few months ago, they had also been defeated by Su Hao alone, and now it seemed like it wasn't such a big deal. If even the third grade students couldn't beat him, it was normal for them as second grade students to be unable to defeat him.
"This Wu Xiangwu is amazing! He single-handedly defeated all the third grade students."
"It's unbelievable! It's worth witnessing such a miracle!"
"This is the Furious Flying Man, Wu Xiangwu!"
"From now on, Wu Xiangwu is my big brother. I'll bring good wine and food tomorrow to pay my respects. Who wants to join me?"
"Count me in!"
"I'm in too!"
...
Su Hao walked along and casually grabbed someone, asking, "By the way, do you know where the fourth grade students are?"
The person was stunned and stammered, "I... I don't know!"
