Chapter 624: Chapter 344: Mediocre Mortals, the Foil of an Era, Don’t Show Off in Front of the Mighty (4K)_2

Only a pair of majestic purplish-blue vertical pupils exuded any sense of demeanor.

Black Shadow Flame silently burned in the depths of the pupils, and the lightless night couldn’t stop Cat Xue’s vision; in his eyes, the world had simply turned into black and white but was still distinctly clear.

His purplish-blue gaze swept over each student—some calm, some fearful, some cautious… He noted everyone’s reactions.

Finally, his gaze rested on a student named Xu Zixuan.

Perhaps because he thought no one could see his face, his expression was rather relaxed, displaying a carefree demeanor.

He seemed unaffected by the pressure that other students were feeling in the darkness.

“You know or not?”

Xu Zixuan suddenly spoke.

His spontaneous remark after such a prolonged silence startled the surrounding classmates, who turned their heads towards him—although it was too dark to see clearly, they just looked in the direction of the voice.

“What are you doing, Old Xu. You really gave us a fright.”

He Han complained in a low voice.

Xu Zixuan chuckled and said, “I heard that out of every twenty men, at least one is gay.”

Although it seemed inappropriate to strike up a casual conversation at such a time, this statement sparked curiosity among some students:

“So that means, there’s definitely one gay in our class, right?”

Mr. Xue’s class had thirty-one students in total, with ten females and twenty-one males, and there were no armed helicopters or Walmart shopping bags.

He Han spoke bluntly, “I bet it’s Bai Jing. He’s cute, and plus, his butt is super sexy.”

Yuan Baijing, who was on alert, looked terrified when he heard this and subconsciously tightened his buttocks, his upright posture becoming somewhat stooped.

The other students, especially the males, quickly distanced themselves from He Han.

“He Han, although I’ve always known you’re a perv, this is…”

Fu Jialin stopped mid-sentence, unable to continue.

Ye Jingqiu said solemnly, “From now on, you are not allowed within ten meters of Mr. Xue, or else…”

He Han’s eyes widened, “No, it’s just a spine-chilling topic. I was just joining in the conversation and joking!”

“Everyone’s misunderstanding of me is a bit too much…”

Chen Xingyan said, “There’s nothing about you that could be misunderstood, it feels like you’re just an outright pervert, every word you say just exposes your degree of perversion more and more…”

In the chaos sparked by He Han’s remarks, almost no one noticed that Xu Zixuan, who had initiated the topic, had not spoken since.

Located above everyone, perched on a metal branch, Cat Xue silently watched Xu Zixuan as he silently moved away from the crowd.

He retrieved his bracelet from the invisible gap, caught it with his cat’s claw, and glanced at the map on it.

All the light spots representing students were still gathered together, none had strayed.

The official bracelet handed out to the participants all had tracking, and people in the same team as well as their examiners could see each other’s locations on the bracelet’s map.

If a person had moved but the tracking hadn’t, it meant the bracelet wasn’t on them.

Cat Xue’s sharp gaze swept over all the students once more, his almost transcendent vision quickly spotting the anomaly.

In one male student’s backpack, in a small pocket on the left, a black bracelet was hooked on it.

‘To hang the bracelet on someone else so no one would notice his departure when he starts moving… Is that what he was thinking?’

Cat Xue shook his head, his figure flashed, and disappeared from the branch.

…

In a hidden location within the steel forest.

In the pitch-dark environment, several figures were gathered.

“Li Suisui, you’re still alive? The Great Demon King didn’t finish you off?”@@novelbin@@

Seeing the considerably smaller figure among them, several were quite surprised.

They had seen with their own eyes how Li Suisui was reduced to half his body by a punch from the man-like Demon God. Though they didn’t think a Limit-Breaking Grandmaster’s life force would succumb to such injuries, they imagined Xue Jing would have made sure of him, and never thought Li Suisui would still be alive.

So, the Great Demon King is quite principled, not killing kids?

…But this is no ordinary kid, but the strongest kid on the surface of this planet.

Such a threat, no matter how small, had to be completely eradicated, right?

Li Suisui spoke indifferently, “Why, are you disappointed?”

The others instinctively shook their heads, “No, why would we be?”

Someone joyfully said, “That’s great, if you had died, then we would have had no way to deal with that Great Demon King. With this…”

Li Suisui shook his head, cutting him off, “You’re wrong.”

“It’s not, ‘if I had died, we wouldn’t have a way to deal with Xue Jing’. It’s, ‘even with me alive, we still have no way to deal with Xue Jing’.”

“Ah?” Zhou Yinglin voiced his confusion:

“Not even with all of us combined?”

Li Suisui looked at him strangely.

“When did you get the illusion that you qualify to intervene in my battle with Xue Jing?”

Zhou Yinglin’s eyelid twitched, suppressing the fire of humiliation in his voice as he hoarsely said, “What do we do now?”

Li Suisui said flatly, “The primary goal of this operation has already completely failed.”

“Our preliminary assessment of Xue Jing’s strength was extremely inaccurate, capturing or killing him is utterly impossible.”

“Now, all actions must shift to the second objective—preventing Xue Jing from achieving a sufficient result in this Martial Arts Examination, forming his ‘golden body’.”
