C16 I Surrender
The next morning, Zhao Lei returned to the school after a week of separation.
Damn, it feels like I graduated from school many years ago. I have only taken two classes.
"Old Zhao, long time no see." Before Zhao Lei could enter the door, he was called out by Han Xiaotian, who was holding an oil bar.
"Good morning, long time no see." Zhao Lei also turned around and greeted him.
Han Xiaotian suddenly ran to Zhao Lei's side, squinted his eyes and circled Zhao Lei a few times, his face full of confusion.
"What the hell are you doing? I have no interest in you!" Zhao Lei was scared out of his wits when Han Xiaotian stared at him.
After looking at Zhao Lei, Han Xiaotian swallowed the oil bar in one gulp and said in a contemplative manner. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Zhao Lei, why do I feel like you have become stronger?"
"Oh, I was exercising." Zhao Lei didn't expect this guy to be able to see such a subtle change.
"It's only been a few days. Your change is too ridiculous …" As Han Xiaotian spoke, he suddenly jumped in fright, and the oil bar in his mouth instantly lost its fragrance.
Zhao Lei followed Han Xiaotian's gaze and looked back. He found that it was Yu Wei. Zhao Lei and Yu Wei had played together since they were young, and he almost couldn't recognize him at first glance.
Originally, Yu Wei was already tall, and he was already 1.8 meters tall when he was in Grade 12. In just a few days, he had grown another half a head taller. Now, he was at least 1.9 meters tall, and his physique and temperament had changed greatly. Even his eyebrows had become thicker.
Was this the terrifying part of the awakened form? This change was too ridiculous. Zhao Lei could feel the terrifying aura from Yu Wei from more than ten meters away. Those who did not know would think that Yu Wei had been possessed.
"Is this f * cking old Lu? Why do I feel like all of you are like monsters? You just slacked off for a week. Is there a need for you to throw me so far away?" Han Xiaotian threw away the soy milk in his hand that he had not finished drinking and started to cry.
Lyu Wei walked past Zhao Lei and Han Xiaotian without even looking at the two of them.
Zhao Lei was already used to it. He pulled the lifeless Han Xiaotian and rushed to the classroom.
Today was Teacher Du's class. Han Xiaotian seemed to have received some kind of stimulation, and without the usual slacking, he sat there seriously and listened to the lesson attentively.
Teacher Du first swept the entire class and found that many students had changed a lot in the past week. After all, almost everyone in Class 2 was an elite from various counties, and their self-study skills were also outstanding.
Of course, there were also a lot of people like Han Xiaotian who were relaxed, but Han Xiaotian was already a lot ahead of most people. He had long reached the peak of the Elementary Stage, and a novice like Zhao Lei who had just learned to control the elements was still quite a distance away from him.
"Seeing that everyone is very energetic, as the class teacher, I am very pleased. After this week, many people have changed, and I also see it in my eyes." Du Zixun's voice was still pleasant to listen to, and it was hard not to listen attentively.
"This class is the Elementary Battle Guidance class. This class is the most complicated course this semester, including 'Battle', 'Assistance', 'Survival', 'Beast Encyclopedia', and many other miscellaneous courses. I will explain all of them to you in every class. As for the follow-ups, you will have to rely on yourselves."
In fact, if this kind of strange education method was in a normal world, the students would have jumped up in anger a long time ago. Unfortunately, this world was different.
Zhao Lei learned from Han Xiaotian that the majority of the tuition fees for the first year of high school were used to awaken. The teachers rarely taught in this world, and most of the first-year students in the entire country had to endure it.
"Han Xiaotian, you have already awakened the wood attribute for half a year. How is your progress now?" Teacher Du mercilessly pointed at Han Xiaotian's name.
However, most of the students were exclaiming in surprise. After all, it had only been a week since the school started, and there was actually an old man who had awakened for half a year in the class. How could no one not be surprised?
Liu Yu looked at Han Xiaotian and clenched his fists so hard that they cracked. After all, Han Xiaotian was very close to Zhao Lei, so Liu Yu looked down on him. Furthermore, Liu Yu had not made much progress in the past week. After all, he had awakened the wind attribute, so he didn't need to work too hard to keep up with the progress.
"The peak of the first stage, but it is still a bit difficult to form the elements in the second stage." Han Xiaotian originally did not have much confidence, but he didn't expect that everyone in the class would have such a big reaction. Han Xiaotian gradually regained his confidence.
"Very good. Actually, you already have the qualifications to take the college entrance examination when you reach the second stage. However, if you want to enter a first-rate university, you still need to reach the Third Level, or even the Intermediate."
Teacher Du's words caused the students below to instantly explode. It was simply outrageous to reach the Intermediate level in three years.
"Of course, this is only the standard for the Elemental Combat Department. The standards for the theoretical support and research departments are a bit lower."
"I'm so scared!"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Most of the students had not even touched the edge of the elements yet, let alone Intermediate elementalists.
"Everyone, don't relax too much. I want to know how many people in our class can already control their own abilities, including the mutated and spiritual types. Can you raise your hands and see?"
As Teacher Du finished speaking, a few people in the class raised their hands.
Zhao Lei originally wanted to raise his hand, because Han Xiaotian had said before that 80% of the students in Class One had awakened in advance. In other words, there were many people who had mastered their own abilities.
Zhao Lei really thought that the same thing was happening in Class Two, but when he saw the number of people, he immediately wiped his face and put down his hand. There were only six people in the entire class who raised their hands. The difference was too big. Moreover, it was too abnormal for him to raise his hand four times in a row. If he were to expose the secret of his ring, he would be dead. For safety's sake, Zhao Lei did not plan to raise his hand.
Furthermore, there were three people in the first row, Yang Qianxue, Han Xiaotian, and Luo Gang, who were ranked fifth and sixth respectively. The last one was the most eye-catching one, Lu Wei, who was sitting in the last row. The rest of them did not know each other, and they had not called out to them when they were awakened. They should be the ones who had awakened earlier.
Most of the people were a little flustered at the beginning, but after looking at the results, they all heaved a sigh of relief. Out of the six people who had mastered the ability, four of them had awakened in advance, and only two of them had only used a week to master the ability.
The abilities of these two people were a little special. One of them had a unique psychic force, and the other had a peerless battle soul inherited from his bloodline. If these two people could not master it, then they would be a ghost. Most of the students had accepted this reality.
"Trash!" Liu Yu started to mock him again. After all, out of the top three, only Zhao Lei had not raised his hand. Liu Yu could not tell that Zhao Lei had already awakened the wind attribute, so he naturally had to slander him.
"Are you a fucking repeater? Other than this sentence, can't you say something else? You, a wind attribute, have been immersed in elemental energy all day long, yet you still have the face to say that to me?"
"Aren't you also a wind attribute?" Liu Yu said in a strange tone.
"I have four attributes. If you don't cultivate faster than me, I suggest that you find a piece of tofu and smash your head into it." Actually, Liu Yu was not as fast as Zhao Lei.
"To put it bluntly, you are still trash. I am a wind attribute. Even if I don't cultivate, I can still keep up with the pace. Moreover, I can already feel the aura of the elements. In half a month at most, I will be able to control the elements. Who do you think you are? You are a peerless trash with four attributes. It will probably be difficult for you to enjoy the pleasure of being an elementalist in this lifetime."
"I have nothing to say." Zhao Lei despised people like Liu Yu the most. He only knew how to label others, but he didn't do anything. He was a double standard dog. He clearly had no achievements, yet he put on a superior appearance, as if he owed him a few million.
Luo Gang saw Zhao Lei behind Yang Qianxue when he swept his gaze across the class. He originally thought he had seen wrongly, but when he swept his gaze over again, he was surprised to find that Zhao Lei's psychic force was even stronger than his! How was this possible? He had awakened four elements, so he must have seen wrongly. Zhao Gang still comforted himself. After all, his psychic force was not absolutely accurate.
"Everyone, don't be discouraged. Perhaps our situation is worse than Class 1, but we are still the most outstanding. As long as you are willing to work hard, surpassing Class 1 is not a problem." Although Teacher Du was a little disappointed, she still encouraged everyone with a smile out of professionalism.
"Next, we will start the lesson. The most fundamental reason for us to master our superpowers is to fight. Starting from the first human being who could use fire elements, the civilization of mankind entered a brand new era. After thousands or even tens of thousands of years of unremitting effort, mankind was able to develop their own land on this chaotic road. In the end, it was all obtained through fighting. The civilization of Nirennon has been passed down from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the current democratic republic. Countless predecessors have shed their blood, slaughtered demonic beasts, and fought against the Demon Gods. Only then did mankind have its present day. As a superpower user, we must always remember the purpose of learning superpowers!"
"Then let me teach you how to fight in this class!"
"Han Xiaotian, you need to cooperate with me in this class." Teacher Du took out a potted plant from under the podium. Inside the potted plant was a cactus.
"No problem!" Han Xiaotian, who was sitting upright, felt his blood boiling as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
"If you fight with me now and you can control only this cactus, tell me what you will do."
Zhao Lei was interested. Although this seemed to be a wood attribute combat tutorial, it was actually a course to fight against the wood attribute. He also wanted to see how Han Xiaotian would handle it.
Han Xiaotian frowned and started to think under the gaze of the entire class. After half a minute, Han Xiaotian clapped his hands and said, "I surrender."
"What are you all looking at? The opponent is Teacher Du, who has both good looks and combat strength. He killed me in one move. If you don't surrender, I'm going to commit suicide!" Han Xiaotian quickly explained and flattered him.
"Han Xiaotian, be serious. If my strength is the same as yours, what do you want to do with this cactus to gain an advantage?" Teacher Du did not laugh at Han Xiaotian, but glared at him with her beautiful eyes.
