Chapter 39: Scary
Chapter 39: Scary
The second grade training field was in chaos. An endless stream of people were sent flying into the air and screamed as they landed on the ground.
There was a not-so tall figure that was flickering back and forth through the chaotic crowd, a blurred shape. Wherever this figure flashed, there would be a scream and a body would be sent flying.
It was the great slaughter of Su Hao.
Su Hao discovered that he really liked the feeling of placing people high in the sky. It was like playing golf.
Although he never played golf, that didn’t affect his enjoyment of the feeling. It could also intimidate his opponents, so it was killing two birds with one stone.
Also, as long as the strength and angle was controlled, he could send people flying without having caused too serious damage.
So the students in his class that had been beaten by Su Hao secretly gave him a nickname, “Irritable Flying Man Wu Xiangwu”.
Not even ten minutes later, the surrounding didn’t have anyone left standing.
It wasn’t that Su Hao had forced everyone to lie down, but rather amongst the panic, many chose to lie down themselves.
Because they discovered as long as they admitted defeat and lied down, Su Hao wouldn’t touch them again. Those that were knocked down and got back got hit even harder.
Seeing no one else getting back up, Su Hao dusted himself off and started walking off the field.
He was thinking about whether or not to go to the third grade area and take down the third grade students. That way he could get it done all at once in case third grade students came tomorrow and the day after fourth grade students, fifth grade students, etc.
Passing by a tragic youth in the streets, Su Hao stopped to ask: “Let me ask you, where is the third grade student field?”
That tragic youth looked up in fear and said with a trembling voice: “You… What are you going to do?”
Su Hao frowned and said: “Are you asking or am I asking?”
“No no no!” That tragic youth immediately shook his head.
“Then please answer my question.”
The tragic youth gulped and lied down on the ground to respond: “The third grade students aren’t in the academy. Once school starts, they’re brought out to the wild. They probably won’t be back until a month before the school’s annual competition.”
“So it was like that. Thanks!” Su Hao was stunned. He said a word of thanks and left.
The tragic youth that was left behind said: “Thank… Thank me? He thanked me?”
Suddenly he discovered that being hit wasn’t such an intolerable matter.
……
Soon, the story of how Su Hao flipped over the entire second grade spread around. Not only were all the students discussing this matter, even the academy’s teachers were talking about it.
“Old Liu, Wu Xiangwu from your class stirred something big up this time. I heard he flipped over the entire second grade by himself! Did you know about this?” Mo Fenghua liked gossiping the most. As soon as she saw Old Liu, she couldn’t hold back and asked.
“Yeah Old Liu. When I just heard of it, my eyeballs nearly popped out. Even the genius of the second grade Xiao Yushu was knocked down in just two punches. Tsk tsk tsk!” Feng Maner was also tsking in amazement.
Old Liu bitterly smiled: “I also didn’t think such a thing would occur. I only learned of it when the second grade teachers came to find me to tell me. What a headache!”
“Come on Old Liu. Don’t try to sell it short. This Wu Xiangwu has given you a lot of face. We’re jealous.”
“Think of how many years of history the academy has, and this is the first time this has happened! A first grade student vs second grade student, one against two hundred. And even won easily. Incredible.”
“Old Liu , is Wu Xiangwu already an elite warrior?” Feng Maner suddenly asked curiously.
Old Liu pondered a bit before slowly answering: “I can’t rule out that possibility! Also, even a beginner-level elite warrior couldn’t do such a thing. I’m guessing aside from being a beginner-level elite warrior, he’s also a genius born to fight.”
The two were stunned. A 10 year old elite warrior? That was hard to believe.
“Does this matter need to be told to the dean?”
Old Liu shook his head: “No need. Let’s keep watching!”
……
Su Hao’s name was known throughout the academy. No one dared to provoke him. Su Hao’s biggest benefit was that he could do whatever he wanted without needing to worry about people bothering him. This also indirectly benefited He Qingqing and little fatty.
With little fatty’s big mouth propaganda, everyone knew that he and He Qingqing were Wu Xiangwu’s good friends, a childhood sweetheart and fellow villager. With Wu Xiangwu’s fame, no one dared to provoke them either.
Everything was going smooth as expected for Su Hao. As long as he defeated everyone, then all the problems would become small and he could focus on his own things.
Su Hao was very curious about everything in this world, desperately wanting to gain more knowledge. Every time he learned something new, he could feel the creativity and imagination of his predecessors. He could feel pleasure emerging from the depths of his soul. This sense of joy became his motivation for continual exploration.
After half a year of living, he had a certain understanding of Lingyun Warriors Academy. He had even found a treasure trove – the Lingyun Library.
Every day after the complicated training was finished, Su Hao would spend half the day doing his own thing. So he would spend the morning according to the training schedule. After training, he would stew in the Lingyun Library flipping through various materials.
“Blood Qi Preliminary Interpretation”, “Illustrated Book of Fierce Beasts”, “Lingyun Town Chronicles”, “Maps of Mountains and Rivers”, “Martial King Zheng’s War Chronicles”, “Human Clan’s Destruction and Rebirth”, “Exploring the Mysteries of Fierce Beasts”, “The Potential of the Human Body”, “Bloodlines”, “Different Powers”, “Strangeness of Nature”, “Mysteries of the Northern Icefield”, “Mystic Rune Master”…
All in all, the first step Su Hao came to the library for was to flip through the books a bit, recording the knowledge into the system, and then read more about the books that interested him.
As Su Hao was flipping through and recording, a small event occurred.
In the library, aside from him, there were three other girls reading.
The three of them saw Su Hao paging through the books and looked at him as if he were crazy. But they recognized Su Hao and knew this “Irritable Flying Man Wu Xiangwu” wasn’t good to provoke, so they kept away from him.
After a while, a timid-looking girl came over and with her head lowered, she said softly like a mosquito: “He… Hello.”
“What?” Su Hao didn’t hear clearly and stopped to look at this timid-looking girl in suspicion.
But this look almost made this little lass burst into tears.
The little lass’s hands were tightly tangled up, trying hard to overcome here fear of facing the great demon king. With a thin voice she with a teary voice: “That… That, please, please don’t ruin books like this!”
Su Hao watched this little lass and looked back to the book he had been flipping through and immediately understood he had been misunderstood. But he didn’t have the effort to spend on slowly explaining it, and no one would believe him anyway.
So he deliberately put on a grumpy face, and coldly stared at the lass: “Girl, are you meddling in my affairs?”
“Waa~”
He hadn’t thought without even frightening her, she would actually start to loudly cry.
The two girls who seemed to be her companions, were also startled, tossing aside their books, rushing over to the little lass and grabbed her and ran.
Once they were far away and confirmed “Irritable Flying Man Wu Xiangwu” hadn’t chased them, the two let down the little lass and gasped for breath.
“Too… Too terrifying!”
“So scary! Irritable Flying Man Wu Xiangwu indeed is as scary as the rumors!”
“Almost scared me to death… At least we ran away quickly!”
Then turning to blame the terrified little lass: “Little Mei, I’ve said that you’re normally pretty timid. How can you provoke such a person! It was almost over for us!”
Little Mei sobbed: “I… I don’t know. I just saw him ruining the books and I just wanted to give him a reminder.”
The two companions stared at each other speechlessly. Their little sister was so great, treating books like her life. Reading was like a holy experience for her.
On the other side, as Su Hao watched the three run away, he froze in place. He touched his face and muttered to himself: “Am I that scary?”
