Chapter 31: The Inter-School Contest Begins

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Filled with all kinds of monsters and precious herbs, it was the favorite place of the adventurers on Earth.

However, the 99 high schools had cordoned off the island, forbidding anyone from going to the island.

Also, the strong monsters on the island had been hunted in advance for the inter-school contest to be held. In the meantime, the medical ships around the island were ready to rescue the injured students.

At this moment, Wang Hao and his companions were dumped on the beach.

According to the rules, they had to take down as many opponents as possible and claim their score badges in the next three days.

“Where are the rest of them?” Wang Hao looked around but saw no other students.

Le Xuan opened the map of the island on her smart wristband and said, “According to the rules, we have to reach the lake at the center of the island within three days. If we can’t, it wouldn’t help even if we have the highest score.”

“Does that mean that the lake at the center will be the grounds for the final battle?” asked Xia Weiwei.

Le Xuan nodded and checked her equipment again before they moved on.

BOOM!

Suddenly, an explosion went off far away. They could see fire rising.

“Damn it. This is not a game about how strong you are but about how rich your family is.” Wang Hao shook his head. Anybody with a wealthy father could win the championship.

“You’re impressed by that?” Xia Weiwei looked at Wang Hao in disdain and said, “Such grenades cannot hurt anyone. Also, do you think anyone is capable of using good weapons?”

Le Xuan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Advanced weapons have high requirements. Besides, weapons are created to be utilized, not for decoration.”

Wang Hao shrugged and stopped talking. He understood that it was a trend to use those weapons.

The ancient peoples used stones first, bronze later, and then iron as their civilization progressed. Nobody could stop development.

However, he did not like that he couldn’t afford what other people used.

“Let’s go now. They’ve already engaged. We need to find our prey, too.” Both Xia Weiwei and her heavy sword were eager.

Hiu! Hiu!

Right then, Wang Hao’s hair stood up as he heard a tiny noise, caused by an object moving fast in the air.

Wang Hao stepped forward and tackled Le Xuan quickly. He glanced back, only to see a dark streak of light flashing from the forest and brushing past his ear.

On a closer look, it was an arrow with a red spot that was obviously an explosive device.

“It’s a bomb!”

Wang Hao shouted and rolled on the ground with Le Xuan.

Xia Weiwei quickly drew her giant sword and looked around warily.

BAM!

The arrow on the ground suddenly exploded in flames.

Le Xuan’s eyes were horrifyingly cold. Had Wang Hao not tackled her, she would’ve been heavily wounded.

“Which bastard just ambushed me? Get the hell out here!” Xia Weiwei stared at the forest with her full attention, holding a sword that was even taller than herself.

“What a pity. The least impressive person in your team turns out to be a rare Perceiver.”

Two young men walked out of the forest with giant swords on their backs.

Wang Hao’s pupils constricted. He couldn’t be more unlucky.

He knew the two guys. They were Ding Haojie and Ding Haoxuan, the brothers from the No. 8 High School who, according to Gao Xiong, were among his trickiest opponents.

They were way above Level-One Martial Masters in the first place. Thanks to the good food Gao Xiong provided, they must be close to Level-Two Martial Masters now. They were definitely stronger than Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan.

There was also a guy who was shooting arrows from the forest. It was indeed a disaster!

Ding Haojie looked at Wang Hao interestedly. “My friend, why don’t you team up with me? I guarantee that you will be promoted.”

“Wang Hao, don’t you dare!” Xia Weiwei glared at Wang Hao and kept him behind her.

Le Xuan did not say anything and also stood before Wang Hao.

She had thought that Wang Hao was a burden, but she changed her opinion.

Perceivers were very rare among warriors. With immense spiritual power, they could sense danger and handle crises in advance. They were the best teammates in a group battle.

With Wang Hao, Le Xuan and Xia Weiwei could avoid many dangers, particularly traps.

“Can you tell where the archer is hiding?” asked Le Xuan in a low voice.

Frowning, Wang Hao looked at the forest and nodded. “I’ll go and take him down. You stop them.”

Le Xuan nodded and shot at Ding Haoxuan with her revolver.

Xia Weiwei leaped and charged at Ding Haojie, wielding her giant sword.

Wang Hao patted his chest and entered the stealth state.

“You’re still resisting?” Ding Haoxuan scorned and blocked the bullet with his giant sword.

Ding Haojie shook his head regretfully. A Perceiver was hard to come by. It was truly a shame to kill him.

However, he did not hesitate at all and raised his sword against Xia Weiwei’s.

Wang Hao carried out the best of Lightning Gait at this moment, as he approached the forest quickly.

Although he was very fast, Wang Hao still sensed that a viper was staring at him.

“Damn it! He’s also a Martial Master, or my Stealth Cloak would’ve covered me!” Wang Hao couldn’t help but complain. “He must have been at Lin Tingbai and Gao Damei’s wedding, too. He made a breakthrough after having all that delicious food! I hate rich people!”

Hiu! Hiu!

Suddenly, three arrows reached him, aiming at his critical parts.

Staring at the three arrows, Wang Hao grabbed a level-one dagger.

Clang… Clang… Clang…

Sparks flew as Wang Hao waved his dagger at the sharp arrows. The force of the arrows made his arm numb.

Cracks even appeared on the dagger. It seemed liable to fall apart at any point.

Looking at his dagger, Wang Hao was angry. “I truly hate rich people!”

Suddenly, a shadow charged from the dim forest…
