"However, if you're willing to have some fun with us after the trial ends, then we don't mind helping you get a rank, even though it'll be a bit lower."
The tall guy didn't wait for Yan Wuyue's answer. He walked to Yan Wuyue's side and whispered, "After all, you also know that if your ranking is too low and your results are too bad, it's very likely that you'll be expelled from the academy."
"Junior, I don't think you would want that to happen, right?"
Yan Wuyue immediately stepped back, but the tall guy quickly caught up and grabbed her arm.
"Junior, be careful and don't fall. Otherwise, we'll be very sad."
The tall guy's face showed an expression that made Yan Wuyue feel extremely disgusted. Just as she couldn't help but prepare to attack, a thick and strong hand directly grabbed the tall guy's wrist.
"It hurts, it hurts, let go!"
The tall guy immediately cried out in pain, then turned to the short fatty beside him and shouted, "Why aren't you attacking, you damn fatty!"
The short fatty was startled by this roar, and he immediately waved his hand to quickly draw in the air. Immediately after, the void flickered with light, and an array was formed.
Following that, a rock spirit covered in crimson rocks stepped out of the summoning array. The moment it appeared, it sensed its master's command and charged straight at Zhou Mingrui.
When Zhou Mingrui saw this, he snorted coldly. As he exerted his strength and flung the tall guy away, he raised his leg and kicked the rock spirit.
"You even want to kick away my summoned spirit?"
When the short fatty saw Zhou Mingrui's actions, he immediately sneered in disdain.
The power of his rock spirit's charge was no less than a truck's head-on collision. He didn't believe that a noob's summoned spirit could withstand his level 35 summoned spirit.
However, the result left the short fatty stunned.
This was because Zhou Mingrui had really only used one kick to send the rock spirit that had charged forward flying.
The tall guy seized the opportunity and summoned his spirit.
A double-horned rhinoceros clad in metal armor emerged from the summoning array and charged at Zhou Mingrui at high speed.
The rock spirit stood up at this moment and charged at Zhou Mingrui as well.
Seeing that he was being surrounded, Zhou Mingrui calmly extended his skeletal hand and slowly drew a bone saber from his waist.
His right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, and he quickly turned around and used the bone saber with inertia to ruthlessly slash at the armored rhinoceros' body. The bone blade and the metal collided, immediately producing dazzling sparks.
However, the armored rhinoceros' momentum was forcefully halted by the slash. Following that, Zhou Mingrui's fist landed heavily on the armored rhinoceros' head.
Bang!
The armored rhinoceros was immediately pressed to the ground by the power of the punch, and the ground caved in from the terrifying weight of the armored rhinoceros.
At this moment, the rock spirit had arrived behind Zhou Mingrui and slammed its head into the latter.
"Success!"
The short fatty's face revealed a happy expression, and his fists were clenched tightly.
At this time, he seemed to see the scene of this damned guy who suddenly appeared and was ruthlessly knocked away by his summoned spirit.
However, the next moment, the short fatty's happy expression froze on his face.
This was because Zhou Mingrui's body remained unmoved on the spot, while his summoned spirit was sent flying from the impact. It rolled several times on the ground before coming to a stop.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Do you know the consequences of attacking a student from the same school? Not to mention that we're staff members of this trial!"
The tall guy stepped forward and pointed at Zhou Mingrui as he questioned him angrily.
"I remember that you were the ones who harassed her first, and you even wanted to do something indecent to her."
Zhou Mingrui raised his eyebrows behind his helmet and spoke in a mocking tone.
"You, what evidence do you have!"
The tall guy said through gritted teeth.
"What happened?"
At this moment, the sunlight above them dimmed. A flying bird that was six to seven meters wide quickly descended from the sky. A male student wearing the academy's elite uniform jumped down from the back of the bird.
"Leader Xu, the two of us asked her to show evidence of her assessment, but not only did she refuse to give it to us, but she also got her summoned spirit to attack us!"
The tall guy immediately complained, not giving Yan Wuyue a chance to speak first.
"Really?"
When Leader Xu heard this, he frowned and looked at Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui.
"Look at fatty's and my summoned spirit. They're already beaten up like this. How would we dare to lie to you?"
The tall guy pointed at his and fatty's summoned spirits and cried, squeezing out a few drops of tears.
"Do you know that it's a serious violation of the school rules to attack the staff of the trial secret realm for no reason?"
Leader Xu asked Yan Wuyue in a low voice.
"Xu Hao, do you think I, Yan Wuyue, would do such a thing? You must know better than me what these two disgusting guys are like!"
Yan Wuyue didn't even bother to explain and said unhappily.
"If you don't explain, I'll take it as you agree tacitly!"
Xu Hao narrowed his eyes, but he wasn't moved by Yan Wuyue's words.
"Are all the academy staff like this, accusing without any evidence?"
At that moment, Zhou Mingrui, who had been silent all this while, spoke.
"The evidence is here. Do you have any objections?"
Xu Hao shot a nonchalant glance at Zhou Mingrui as he pointed at the armored rhinoceros that had collapsed not far away.
The giant bird behind him stepped forward and stood behind its master. It glared at Zhou Mingrui with a pair of extremely fierce eyes.
"I object!"
Zhou Mingrui unsheathed his bone saber and retaliated without holding back.
"It seems that the two of you are prepared to resist arrest. In that case, I can only make you go back obediently."
Xu Hao walked forward. With a flash of light, two long guns appeared in his hands. He raised the black muzzles and aimed them at Zhou Mingrui.
The bird next to him flapped its wings, and a strong airflow instantly swept out, blowing the surrounding sand.
"Wait!"
Just as the two sides were hostile to each other, Yan Wuyue stopped them.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Hao sneered.
"Didn't you want evidence? I have it."
Yan Wuyue took out a miniature black button from her combat suit and pressed it lightly. A light screen was projected on the ground.
The scene and conversation that had just happened were instantly reenacted.
The tall guy and the short fatty were shocked when they saw this!
Who the heck would bring a miniature camera to the trial?
The academy did send unmanned robotic cameras to monitor the students in the trial field, but they would also evacuate when they reached the important areas.
"Xu Hao, you should give me an explanation, right?"
Yan Wuyue's tone began to sound angry.
Xu Hao's expression calmed down after he saw what had happened. He patted the bird's head and turned around.
Just when everyone thought he was going to leave, Xu Hao suddenly moved and appeared in front of the tall guy, punching him in the stomach.
Then, he moved again and kicked the short fatty.
"When you go back, go to the academy's disciplinary office and explain clearly. If I find out that you try to hide, I will make you regret coming to the academy."
Having said that, Xu Hao jumped directly onto the back of the bird. Then, before it flew away, he turned to look at Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui.
"I hope we'll see each other on the field."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bird flapped its wings and rushed into the sky.
