When the boxes were opened, all the students nearby were dazzled."Shoot! That"s a level-two Electromagnetic Ring! It costs around 1.5 billion!"
"That"s a level-two Stealth Cloak. You can"t buy it for even two billion!"
"d.a.m.n it. I see a level-tree Silver Wolf. That"s a military weapon worth 3.5 billion."
"This level-three laser sword is cheaper, but it"s still worth two billion."
"Look at the level-four alloy dagger. It"s small but it"s at least worth 2.5 billion?"
"Why are you so fixated on the dagger? Look at the giant sword! It"s also a level-four alloy weapon and is worth at least fifteen billion!"
"Shoot! Where is this guy from?"
"The mecha wolf seems to belong to him, too. It"s at least worth thirty billion, isn"t it?"
"Also, it"s not for sale. Most people can"t buy it even if they have the money."
"Shoot! Shoot! Look, what"s inside the box with most locks?"
"A pair of level-five sonic boots!"
"Why on earth are they here?"
"Who"s this guy? He"s unbelievably rich!"
"He"s not here to qualify at all; he"s here to show off!"
"…"
When w.a.n.g Hao put on his equipment, Xin Cheng couldn"t be more stunned. This guy was truly extravagant!
At this moment, an announcement echoed down from the sky. "Dear students, you must"ve understood the rules of the screening test by now. You will acquire points from the unforgivable prisoners through whatever means possible. Also, don"t feel guilty. Those prisoners have been sentenced to death. They"ll die anyway when the screening test is over, so they"d better make contributions to society while they still can. Now, the screening test begins…"
"Ho..."
Millions of students roared at the same time and charged out of the safe areas.
Zhuo Chao waved his hands at everyone and said, "Guys, there are more wolves than meat, so I"m going to fly solo."
He then boarded his mecha wolf and set off.
Ding Haojie and Ding Haoxuan also waved their hands and left, obviously unwilling to team up with other people.
The other students all gathered in groups and left after a glance at w.a.n.g Hao.
They knew that it was safe to stay with w.a.n.g Hao, but none of them could tell w.a.n.g Hao"s temper. If w.a.n.g Hao suddenly went crazy and sold them out, they would definitely be hopeless on this desolate planet!
After all, they still remembered Lin Tingbai"s misfortune very well.
"You"re abandoning me, too?" w.a.n.g Hao sadly stared at Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan, who were about to leave together.
Le Xuan said solemnly, "w.a.n.g Hao, we took advantage of you in the inter-school contest last time. We"d like to prove ourselves in this one."
Then, Le Xuan made a cheer-up gesture at w.a.n.g Hao, before she left with Xia Weiwei.
Xia Weiwei asked in a low voice, "Do you really want to prove yourself?"
Le Xuan looked at Xia Weiwei in amus.e.m.e.nt. "Are you kidding me? There are plenty of ways to prove myself. I"m only too scared to stay with that scoundrel."
Xia Weiwei nodded in agreement. "That"s right. Had I known that w.a.n.g Hao could be so evil, I wouldn"t have teamed up with him in the inter-school contest!"
w.a.n.g Hao secretly wept after hearing that. His dream was to save the world, but he had to keep a low profile and be misunderstood by others. Who could feel his pain?
Zhong Li comforted him: "Child, stop crying, wipe your tears and be a decent man!"
Be a decent man?
w.a.n.g Hao glared at Zhong Li. What was the old man talking about? Was he not a decent man?
Ignoring Princ.i.p.al Zhong Li, w.a.n.g Hao jumped on the mecha wolf and soared away.
"His mentality seems to be stronger now!" Zhong Li was amazed again. It was a level-three beast-shaped mecha, but w.a.n.g Hao was controlling it very easily.
Based on that alone, w.a.n.g Hao would probably be invincible in the screening test.
As w.a.n.g Hao left, the team led by Xin Cheng all stared after him enviously. Even an idiot would know what a level-three mecha wolf could do in the screening test.
…
In the command tower in a safe area, Su Mu was seated with three other old men.
They were the headmasters of the other three Focused Universities: w.a.n.g Kunlun from Eastern Glory University, Hua Zixu from Western Brilliance University, and Wu Tianlun from Martial South University. They were all celebrities as influential as Su Mu.
Supposedly, they wouldn"t have been interested in the screening test of level-one planets, but Su Mu insisted that they should come.
"Old Su, what are you up to exactly?" w.a.n.g Kunlun, headmaster of Eastern Glory University, couldn"t help but ask. He had to be careful because Su Mu had become particularly cunning after w.a.n.g Tianyi"s accident.
"Nothing at all!" Su Mu poured wine for them and said, "I"ve invited you here partly to catch up with you, and partly to show you a junior."
Hua Zixu, the headmaster of Western Brilliance University, thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the young man you asked us not to fight over with you? His name is w.a.n.g Hao, isn"t it?"
Su Mu nodded with a smile. "Him exactly. If possible, can you give away another two candidates to me?"
Wu Tianlun, the headmaster of Martial South University, rolled his eyes. "Two more?"
Su Mu sighed, as if he were embarra.s.sed. "It"s rather embarra.s.sing. I was only interested in w.a.n.g Hao at the start, but that jacka.s.s knocked up two girls. So, I want them to stay together to better manage them."
The other three headmasters laughed aloud immediately. Su Mu had always paid attention to his reputation. How exhilarating it was that such a scandal had happened to his junior!
"Old Su, you must teach your junior a lesson. Not only was he with two girls at the same time, but he also got both of them pregnant. That"s too shameless," w.a.n.g Kunlun remarked.
"Old Su, not that we"re blaming you, but youre an educator. How can you allow your junior to do that?" Hua Zixu criticized Su Mu vehemently.
"Our society is truly degenerating, and you are at fault, Old Su," said Wu Tianlun, as if he were about to take real action to teach w.a.n.g Hao a lesson.
"Yes, yes, you"re absolutely right…" Su Mu accepted their criticism with his head lowered, but he secretly scorned them, wondering when they would cry.
When he heard that Xia Weiwei received her family heritage in advance, he knew that the Xia family was about to emerge. He would be an idiot if he let go of such an opportunity!
Le Xuan, on the other hand, was Le Yuanguang and Yun Chuyao"s daughter. He had to take her in, too, for her excellent genes.
There was also Xue Qianqin, who had been recruited as a disciple for his old friend. She also had great potential.
With Xia Weiwei, Le Xuan, Xue Qianqin and w.a.n.g Hao, Empyrean North University would definitely be much more powerful than before…
