Chapter 100: Sudden Change! A Strong Enemy Approaches
Name: Chen Ye.
Physique: 1108
Spirit: 321
Strength: 1108
Agility: 1108
Talent: Saitama Physique
Allocable Potential: 163
These are Chen Ye's current attributes.
Since his last visit to his hometown of Lin'an for testing, his strength has grown a bit more.
Originally, his physique attribute was two points less than his strength and agility, but an obsessive compulsion drove him to allocate two potential points to physique...
As a result, Chen Ye's physique, strength, and agility attributes are now the same.
Indeed, it looks much more pleasing to the eye!
At 10 AM.
All the freshmen gathered on the playground, waiting to depart for this year's National Freshmen Exchange Competition.
The competition starts tomorrow.
All the students from various schools must arrive a day early for registration.
Although each school has only seven eligible participants, other students can attend as spectators.
Seeing top-tier combat firsthand is a valuable learning opportunity for the students, so everyone chose to go.
Shortly after.
The school leaders arrived.
Vice Principal Zhang gave a motivational speech, and then, along with other leaders, prepared to see the students off.
Next, Old Liu led the team of students towards the buses parked at the school gate.
The students noticed a middle-aged man accompanying them.
This middle-aged man, although somewhat effeminate in appearance, had a strong aura and cold eyes, almost as if "Strangers Keep Out" was written on his face!
He carried a hiking backpack, which was oddly bulging, as if it contained a ball...
The students didn't dare to ask about him directly and instead secretly inquired with Old Liu.
Old Liu smiled and introduced, "This is Mr. Cai, our university's security advisor. He isn't usually on campus, but today he is here to ensure you all reach the competition safely."
Everyone understood.
No wonder they hadn't seen this big shot before.
Someone quickly searched for information on Mr. Cai using their phone.
"Found it... Wow! A fifth-tier expert! He once invented a ball technique that took the world by storm!"
"Is the ball in his backpack his signature weapon?"
"I heard that Mr. Cai had a chance to reach the sixth tier but failed because of a woman... He disappeared for several years and now serves as our security advisor."
"Even if he's not sixth-tier, he's still a seasoned fifth-tier expert. It seems our school really values us!"
"Are you sure the school values you and not the class monitor?"
"You're such a killjoy. Some things are better left unsaid, you know?"
...
The group chatted as they walked.
Soon.
They reached the school gate.
Several vehicles were parked there.
The first thing they saw was a robust-looking bus.
This bus had a thick steel exterior, even the windows were reinforced with bars, making it look like a war fortress—clearly an armored vehicle.
In addition to the bus for the students, there were four military Humvees, two in front and two behind, for escorting them.
The Humvees were manned by soldiers in exoskeleton armor.
Clearly, the university had gone to great lengths to ensure the students' safety.
As the students approached the bus, they frowned.
A person they didn't want to see stood at the door.
"Hello, students. During the competition, I will be in charge of your logistics. If you need anything, feel free to let me know."
Teacher Jian wore a somewhat ingratiating smile.
To secure this logistics job, she had put in a lot of effort, sincerely repenting and crying in front of the Dean, finally earning this opportunity.
So, despite seeing the students' disgusted expressions, she maintained her smile, pretending not to notice.
One does not hit a smiling face.
Since Teacher Jian was so humble, the students refrained from saying anything, and lined up to board the bus.
"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Jian."
Old Liu greeted Teacher Jian.
He was magnanimous and bore no grudge against Teacher Jian, who had almost taken his job before.
Teacher Jian quickly responded, "Mr. Liu, you're too kind. My work is nothing compared to yours..."
After Old Liu boarded the bus.
Teacher Jian's smile instantly disappeared. She reached into her bag and pressed a button on a device before closing the bus door.
The convoy began its journey.
At first, everyone was quite energetic.
But soon, boredom set in, and they felt like sleeping.
Moreover, the road from Magic City to the capital was partially destroyed by monsters, requiring a long detour, making it impossible to reach quickly.
So, many students chose to pass the time by sleeping.
Two hours later.
The convoy left the outskirts of Magic City and entered a highway.
Chen Ye and Zhao Zheng were sitting together, chatting.
"By the way, Old Zhao, I talked to my dad. He said he would love to take on a talented young person like you as his disciple... After this competition, how about you find some time to come back to my hometown with me to meet him?"
Zhao Zheng, who was usually very composed, showed a rare look of joy.
"That's great, Old Chen! Thank you so much!"
"Why thank me? From now on, we'll be like brothers... Old Zhao, I remember I'm older than you, right? How about calling me 'Senior Brother'?" Chen Ye said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhao Zheng became a bit embarrassed.
Just as he was about to call him 'Senior Brother,' a sudden change occurred!
"Roar!"
A powerful roar came from the road ahead.
The students who were sleeping were instantly awakened.
Everyone's face changed color.
Only the monsters outside the city walls could make such a sound!
"What's going on?"
Old Liu hurried to the front of the bus.
By now, the bus had already come to a stop.
The driver, pale-faced, pointed ahead and said, "Mon-Monsters..."
Without the driver's reminder, Old Liu also saw countless monsters charging towards them on the road ahead.
There were quite a few flying monsters among them.
"Why? Why are there monsters here? How did they get here?"
This question.
No one answered Old Liu.
Because everyone was scared stiff!
Only three people remained calm.
Chen Ye, Tang Zichen, and Mr. Cai.
"Mr. Liu, they have already spotted us..." Teacher Jian said in terror. "They're coming!"
Old Liu's face turned extremely grim.
He faintly felt something was wrong.
But in the current situation, there was no time to think more.
Just as Old Liu was about to get off the bus to fight the monsters, a calm voice sounded:
"I'll hold them off. You turn around and head back to Magic City immediately!"
It was Mr. Cai!
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Cai jumped off the bus without any hesitation.
Then, they saw Mr. Cai's shoulders tremble, and a blue steel ball swiftly flew out from his backpack, falling freely.
It was like a sword being drawn from its sheath!
Mr. Cai threw his backpack aside, just in time to catch the falling steel ball with his right shoulder, and then he launched it towards the monsters.
"Whoosh!"
With that throw.
It was like a hydraulic press!
The steel ball made a whistling sound, like a bullet, and in an instant, it crossed the sky, hitting a huge flying monster in the distance.
"Boom!"
The monster's head was smashed, its entire head exploded, and it died instantly, its massive body collapsing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
And the steel ball miraculously flew back.
Mr. Cai caught the ball with one finger, and it spun around on his fingertip...
It looked very impressive!
All the students, seeing this, couldn't help but admire in their hearts: Great ball skills!!
"What are you waiting for?" Old Liu shouted at the stunned driver. "Turn around, go back!"
The chapter ends with a call to join a group chat with the author, where readers can chat and motivate the author to write more.
