CHAPTER 57: CHAPTER 57: ENTRANCE EXAM TRIAL, SHOCK ACROSS THE ARENA!

Dead silence.

An absolute dead silence enveloped the entire venue.

The freshmen’s mouths were still open in shock, while the older students in the stands had already stood up in unison.

If there had been just a stir in the freshmen’s area before, now the entire training ground was boiling!

"Holy crap, the new students this year are defying the heavens!"

"Damn it, if we don’t beat the crap out of him today, it doesn’t count!"

"Principal! Aren’t you going to do something about this?!"

Long Zhenguo covered his forehead, both amused and exasperated.

This kid...

Actually brought the fight directly to the seniors’ heads!

But on second thought...

To prove his worth, indeed, he can’t just limit himself to battles of the same level.

"Interesting..."

Long Zhenguo squinted his eyes and, instead of stopping it, waved his hand, and a barrier enveloped the entire training ground.

At the same time, a staff member’s voice echoed throughout the venue via the amplification system:

"After consideration by the school, due to Gu Xing’s egregious behavior, everyone within the barrier may attack freely!"

As soon as the words were spoken, this Extraordinary Level staff member flashed out of the barrier.

Are you kidding? With thousands of furious genius students, if he wasn’t careful, he’d be caught in the crossfire!

Gu Xing looked at the densely packed crowd below, who seemed like they wanted to swallow him whole, and subconsciously swallowed hard.

Although he was confident in Liu Li’s strength, being stared at by so many angry eyes...

In such a situation, who wouldn’t be nervous?

However.

Apart from the group of classmates glaring at him fiercely.

Several figures quickly leapt onto the stage and lined up beside Gu Xing.

Shen Ruoxue, Ying Bing, Qin Tian, Gu Qianqian, Tang Xinrou...

"Bro Xing, I give full marks for your maneuver!"

Qin Tian grinned, with his Treant Guardian standing protectively behind him.

"But just to be clear, I can at most help you hold off three to five Extraordinary Level Guardian Beasts..."

Ying Bing looked grim.

Though she was stronger than Qin Tian, apart from the freshmen present.

There were also quite a few Extraordinary Tier Three, even Tier Four, seniors present.

She wasn’t sure how many she could hold off!

But no matter what, she would do her utmost to help Gu Xing.

However, Qin Tian’s underlings didn’t have that kind of psychological strength.

Seeing the fierce classmates ahead, their legs trembled like sieves:

"T-t-t-tian-ge, are we going to get beaten to death?"

"Getting beaten to death is probably unlikely with the principal around, but I’m afraid we won’t escape getting half-killed!"

"It’s okay, the school has a medical team, we won’t die!"

"The way you put it, I’m even more scared now!"

However.

Some people were extremely excited to face such a scene.

At this moment, Tang Xinrou’s face was full of excitement.

"Honey! This is too exciting! I love you!"

Swish——

Liu Li, Ying Bing, and Shen Ruoxue’s gazes instantly locked on.

"She’s joking!"

With a swift step forward, Gu Qianqian covered her friend’s mouth firmly and dragged her to the corner.

Her gentle eyes were now piercingly cold, and her lowered voice carried unprecedented menace:

"Tang Xinrou! If you dare talk nonsense again, I’ll kill you!!!"

Tang Xinrou was so shocked by the sudden menace that she nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.

Only when she confirmed that her loose-lipped friend had finally settled down did Gu Qianqian release her grip, returning to her normal demeanor as she turned back to Gu Xing’s side.

"Xing, what’s your plan?"

"With just the few of us, taking on thousands of students... is a bit challenging, isn’t it!"

Gu Qianqian had put it very conservatively.

In reality, it wasn’t just a challenge, it was an utter power disparity!

Even if Gu Xing’s strength was great, so many people, simply using quantity they could overwhelm him.

Moreover.

Gu Qianqian’s gaze passed over several seniors in the front row who exuded extraordinary power, and her heart sank.

Those Extraordinary Tier Five monsters were just standing there with their arms crossed, watching for entertainment, yet the oppressive aura alone was suffocating.

Not to mention there were dozens of Extraordinary Tier Three and Four experts below.

Each one would be a top genius in any other academy!

And her brother...

Had managed to provoke all these people in one go!

However.

Gu Xing suddenly stepped forward, shielding everyone behind him.

"Do not interfere, this is the assessment I promised Principal Long! I must complete it myself!"

"But..."

Shen Ruoxue still wanted to speak.

Shen Ruoxue tried to say more, but Gu Xing raised his hand to stop her.

"Don’t worry! I never do things I’m not sure about!"

After saying this, Gu Xing’s gaze swept over the densely packed students, and he spoke calmly:

"Sovereign!"

A silver-white light burst forth from Gu Xing’s eyes, and an aura of regality instantly enveloped the entire venue.

With Liu Li’s current attributes.

Activating the Blazing Angel Form, Liu Li had enough offensive power to crush any student!

So for Liu Li, offensively, she was already more than sufficient.

However...

On the defensive side.

Although Divine Protection could grant absolute immunity from one attack.

There were simply too many students present...

In the chaos of battle, if Liu Li was careless, things could go awry.

Therefore, defense was up to him to compensate for.

"Grant, protection!"

A blue shield instantly covered Liu Li’s exterior.

Beyond that.

The Blazing Angel Flame then rose, forming a second fiery barrier.

Seeing this, Gu Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Generally, the outermost Flame Shield was enough to block standard attacks.

Even if one or two attacks broke through the outer shield, the Shield of Protection he provided would still stand as a barricade.

"Sister Bing, aren’t we really going to help?"

Behind Gu Xing, Qin Tian spoke in a low voice.

Ying Bing was silent for a moment, gazing at the Angel floating in the sky.

She remembered how even at Ying’s home, the Profound Frost Ice Phoenix feared the Angel’s aura.

"No need! I trust him!"

Seeing Ying Bing so confident, Qin Tian had no choice but to step back a few paces.

Though he had no idea where Ying Bing’s trust came from.

But now, all he could do was watch as Gu Xing walked alone toward the dark crowd.

"Heh, you’ve got some guts!"

Wang Teng pushed through the crowd to the front, wearing a grim smile.

"If Ying Bing and the others were helping you, it might cause us some trouble, but you actually came to us alone..."

"While we can’t beat you to death here, smashing you to pieces, I’m sure the principal won’t mind!"

Wang Teng’s cronies chimed in:

"Yeah, calling us trash, let’s see today just what gives you the nerve to say that."

Gu Xing’s eyes flickered with a hint of coldness.

He was just worrying about not finding the right person to make an example of, and now someone had actually dared to step forward!

This was exactly what he wanted!

"Liu Li, do it!"

With Gu Xing’s command, Liu Li in mid-air burst forth with a bright crimson-golden light.

Eight sets of wings fully unfurled, the Blazing Angel Form was fully activated!

"Boom——"

A crimson-golden fireball descended from the sky, accurately striking the position where Wang Teng stood.

Wang Teng’s Extraordinary Tier One Guardian Beast didn’t even have time to react and was instantly obliterated.

The entire venue fell into sudden silence.

Gu Xing stood with hands behind his back, his silver-white eyes sweeping over the dumbfounded crowd:

"Continue?!"
