Chapter 147: Chapter 147 - Heart of the Strong

When the sun shone on the earth, there were a total of 2,000 weak freshmen lying on the ground. The 998 freshmen standing on the ground were all covered in blood, and all of them looked dispirited.

Vincent was sitting at the side and chatting with Duanmu. Tina, who was lying on his lap, was either asleep or unconscious.

“Vincent, tell me, how did you learn fire elemental battle techniques?” asked Duanmu. He looked at Vincent curiously.

Vincent looked at Duanmu and smiled without saying a word.

Vincent did not know how to learn fire elemental battle techniques. His superpower was the one that had fire elemental battle techniques.

Furthermore, as a human, he did not have any restrictions on learning elemental battle techniques. He could train them as long as he wanted to.

As for the fact that he was in Beast World, training in fire elemental battle techniques was his foundation. How could he tell others about it so easily?

Duanmu looked at Vincent and knew that he was being rude. He smiled awkwardly.

“Hehe! Don’t misunderstand! I was just too curious. After all, you are the first person in the history of our Beast Race to successfully practice fire elemental battle techniques.”

Vincent did not pursue the issue any further. He shook his head slightly and said that it was fine. Then, he did not speak anymore.

The atmosphere between the two of them was a little awkward. At that moment, Modric, who was supervising the fight between the prospective freshmen, walked over.

“Duanmu, the spots for the new students have been decided.”

As he spoke, he looked at Vincent and smiled in a friendly manner. He took the opportunity to glance at Tina, who was lying on Vincent’s lap and revealed a conflicted expression.

Vincent looked at Modric and asked with a puzzled expression, “What’s wrong?”

Modric did not answer Vincent. Instead, he looked at Duanmu.

Previously, Vincent and Tina had attacked him together. Although their coordination was not flawless, it was very interesting. From his point of view, the two of them must have known each other.

Duanmu was very familiar with Modric. From his reaction, he knew that he did not know what to say.

“It’s fine. Just say it. Vincent is our classmate. There’s no need to avoid him.”

Modric heard what Duanmu said and nodded. He then said, “It’s like this. Since Tina didn’t participate in the free-for-all, another spot was reserved. Many new students expressed their dissatisfaction and wanted an explanation.”

Vincent was stunned.

“What the hell did they want an explanation for?”

“Didn’t they see Tina’s previous lightning tribulation!”

“Are they blind?”

“How could they still have the face to express dissatisfaction?”

Duanmu sneered and looked at Vincent. “Wait here for a while. I’ll go and see what these little brats are up to!”

As he spoke, he stood up, followed Modric, and walked towards the freshmen.

When Vincent heard what Duanmu had said, he felt like he had to be obedient. Suddenly, he reacted, and his face turned black.

“Good heavens! This was an invisible scolding!”

“I participated in the test with them. They’re little brats, so what am I?”

“Damn it, I’ll remember this for now. I’ll get even with you sooner or later.”

Vincent lowered his head and looked at Tina, who still had no intention of waking up. He could not help but reach out to rub her hair.

“Looks like the lightning tribulation has consumed a lot of her energy. I can’t let her use this trick in the future.”

Vincent muttered to himself.

Duanmu and Modric walked in front of the new students. They looked at the eliminated students who were lying on the ground, panting heavily. Then, they looked at the blood-covered students who had passed the test. Suddenly, they smiled.

“Very good! Congratulations to you 998 guys for passing the combat strength test and officially becoming students of our War School.”

Many of the freshmen who were still standing heaved a sigh of relief when they heard what Duanmu had said. Their legs went weak, and they laid on the ground.

The chaotic battle of 2,998 people was too exhausting for them. They were still able to stand because they had the heart to enter War School to study.

As they found out that they had officially entered the school, there was no reason for them not to lie down.

Duanmu looked at the new students and chuckled. The golden light on his body suddenly lit up, and it was even more dazzling than the rising sun.

“I heard that some of you are not convinced that Tina passed the test without participating in the free-for-all?”

All the new students did not speak, but many of them looked at Duanmu with a hint of indignation and doubt.

Although they did not say anything, the meaning in their expressions was very clear.

Duanmu held his chin and looked as if he was deep in thought.

“Actually, I can empathize with your resentment and doubt. I also think that Tina is not qualified to enter the school directly without participating in the chaotic battle.”

When he said this, everyone was stunned.

“What did he mean?”

“You also think that Tina is not qualified?”

“Then did he announce that she had passed and officially became a student of War School?”

“What? Did he go back on his word?”

At that moment, Duanmu became the focus of everyone’s attention.

When the freshmen heard what Duanmu had said, they all heaved a sigh of relief and expressed their thoughts one after another.

“Senior Duanmu! Tina’s combat strength is so weak. She fainted at the start of the battle and hasn’t woken up yet. If someone like her were to enter War School, it would be an insult to War School!”

“That’s right! That’s right! Senior Duanmu! Don’t let her enter the school! I’m ranked 999th. I think I have the qualifications to become a student of War School!”

“Senior Duanmu! Fire her!”

The new students were expressing their own thoughts. No one noticed Duanmu’s expression gradually becoming evil.

Modric who stood beside Duanmu felt a gust of cold wind. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Duanmu. The glance frightened him greatly.

“Explosive Force!”

Boom!

Modric pulled away from Duanmu and even used his battle techniques.

Vincent sat at the back and watched Duanmu. The hair on his back stood up in an instant.

The current Duanmu was extremely dangerous!

However, the freshmen did not pay any attention to him. Instead, they looked at Modric, who had flown over a thousand meters away, in a daze.

“What was going on? He had used all his battle techniques!”

Without waiting for the freshmen to think any further, Duanmu spoke, “So, I didn’t let her participate in the free-for-all. Instead, I let her pass the test directly.”

“What?”

“What did you mean by that? There was no connection at all!”

“It was completely two opposite meanings!”

Duanmu suddenly narrowed his eyes. All the freshmen, whether they were standing or lying down, felt that their hearts had been punched. The intense pain caused their facial features to distort. The weaker ones even spat out a mouthful of blood.

“I didn’t let Tina participate in the melee because I was afraid that she would accidentally kill all of you!”

Duanmu let out a loud laugh. Even the tone of his voice had changed, making it seem gloomy.

“At least she has the courage to face a strong enemy head-on. Her attacks can even hinder a strong enemy to a certain extent! Although the price was that she fell into a coma and hasn’t woken up until now.”

“But she has the heart of a strong person, and what about you guys? What are you all doing?”

Duanmu suddenly roared and a sonic boom was produced out of thin air. All the new students once again spat out a mouthful of blood. More than half of them were bleeding from their seven orifices and fainted.

“When facing a strong enemy, you only know how to run, and even let the people around you block your knives! In a chaotic battle, you will only choose the opponent who is weaker than you, or even secretly attack, completely abandoning your pride as a beast!”

“Do you really deserve to be students of War School?”

“But…”

A freshman who had passed the test opened his mouth to speak but was sent flying by Duanmu’s finger.

“Don’t talk to me about life and death. That is a battlefield, what is this? This is a selection! This is a test! You have used the things on the battlefield here, this proves that you don’t know how to distinguish between the situations!”

“You guys don’t even have the most basic ability to differentiate between the situations. Why are you guys being recruited into War School? Are you harming your own people?”

“Hmph!”

Duanmu snorted coldly. Another explosion sounded. At that moment, all the freshmen were lying on the ground. Not a single one of them was awake.

“A bunch of rookies!”

Duanmu looked at the freshmen lying on the ground and curled his lips in disdain. He raised his hand and sprinkled a golden light on them. All the freshmen slowly woke up.

“After passing the test, report to the student’s office. If you fail, leave War School within ten minutes. Otherwise, don’t blame me for killing you.”

After saying that, Duanmu turned around and walked towards Vincent.

Tina also woke up during this time. She was sitting beside Vincent. She then looked at Duanmu greedily.

“Wow! You have a golden light on you! You can exchange it for small money!”
