The whistle blew, and the five people standing at the front rushed out.

Click, click, click.

Their helmets kept their faces covered as the iron cage’s fence slowly opened.

The hungry Tusk Boar let out low roars as its scarlet eyes stared at the armor in front of it.

Swoosh.

It rushed up like a tank.

Most of the participating students in the first group were shocked. They were unable to dodge in time and were directly pounced on by the Tusk Boar.

Seeing this, most of the students in the spectator stands laughed.

“Why did you choose to participate if you’re so weak? Hurry up and go home!”

“Yeah, stop embarrassing yourself!”

On the high platform, the leaders and parents shook their heads.

They could tell that this group of participating students had no combat experience at all. The teachers standing beside them all lowered their heads in embarrassment.

“I wonder who will win this time?”

“If I’m not wrong, it should be Director Xu’s daughter, right?”

“Yes, Director Xu’s daughter is indeed outstanding.”

Listening to the surrounding discussion, Xu Zhenhua smiled. He looked at Instructor Shen and hurriedly said humbly, “You’re too kind. It’s hard to say in a fight against mutated beasts.”

Shen Jing did not say a word as he casually looked at the competition below.

Group after group of participating students went up, but their performances were very poor.

None of them had ever fought a mutated beast before. The moment they faced the Tusk Boar, their confidence instantly disappeared. All of them were in a sorry state.

It was only when the outstanding students at the second level of blood essence went on stage that the situation improved slightly.

Zhou Hao stood at the back and shook his head as he watched the match.

Xu Ling was also placed in the last row. She looked straight ahead and whispered, “Zhou Hao, when we start fighting later, don’t hold back and call for a stop if you can’t keep up. Although the standard armor’s defense is high, the impact of the tusk boar is also pretty strong. You could still get injured.”

Zhou Hao was about to thank her when he saw Zhang Yi sweep his gaze over. Suddenly, he changed what he was going to say and said, “You should focus on yourself. Wang Ming has already killed three Tusk Boars, don’t lose to him!”

Hearing this, Xu Ling shouted angrily, “You don’t know what’s good for you!”

Not long after, the earlier groups all finished competing. Zhou Hao’s group was last in line so it was finally their turn.

“Daughter, you can do it!” Xu Zhenhua couldn’t help but shout from the high platform.

Xu Ling smiled back.

“It’s Xu Ling. She’s the strongest. She should be able to kill four Tusk Boars!”

“Not necessarily. In a battle with a mutated beast, combat instincts are also very important!”

“Eh? Zhou Hao, that toad lusting after swan meat, is also participating in the competition. He’s even in the same group as Xu Ling.”

“Tch, so what if they’re in the same group? He’s only going to perform poorly and make Xu Ling look better!”

“Just watch. A pounce from the Tusk Boar is enough to make him kneel!”

Many students in the audience who were in the same class as Zhou Hao began to discuss. The others who had heard of Zhou Hao’s reputation also chimed in.

On the high platform, Shen Jing gave Principal Zheng a look.

Principal Zheng nodded secretly and whispered into his ear-mic.

Soon, the army martial artist in charge of releasing the Tusk Boars sprinkled a handful of transparent powder with his hand. The scarlet eyes of the Tusk Boars in the iron cage suddenly widened. Instantly,the Tusk Boars became even more bloodthirsty and crazy.

“Begin!”

As the whistle sounded, the Tusk Boars rushed out of the five iron cages.

Zhou Hao pretended to be nervous as he bent his back.

Not far away, Zhang Yi’s face was covered in sweat.

In their group, only Xu Ling performed in a relaxed state.

Puchi!

Just as the Tusk Boar was about to pounce over, Zhou Hao pretended to stagger and fell to the ground. However, he fell at the right moment as he held the saber in front of him.

The Tusk Boar coincidentally pounced onto the tip of the saber.

And with just a single pounce, the Tusk Boar that Zhou Hao was facing died!

In the entire span of the competition, which had lasted for several hours, this was the fastest anyone had killed a Tusk Boar after entering the arena.

After that, there was an uproar in the audience.

“Damn, that worked?!”

“Damn, how lucky is this guy?!”

“I’m speechless. The Tusk Boar killed itself!”

“Hmph, this Zhou Hao is really lucky. But let’s see how he deals with the next Tusk Boar!”

Many students discussed and sighed at the lucky coincidence.

On the high platform, many leaders and parents sighed at Zhou Hao’s luck.

Shen Jing was stunned for a moment and frowned. “Was it really just luck?”

He was especially observant and could naturally tell that the moment Zhou Hao fell, the saber moved after being timed perfectly so that the Tusk Boar would fall on it.

“Since that was the first kill, I’ll consider it as luck. But I won’t believe it to be luck the second time it happens!” The corner of Shen Jing’s mouth curled up slightly.. He had not forgotten the purpose of this combat test.
