Battle Royale?

"Today we will be electing the class representatives." With Elder Cai absent as usual since she only wanted to be the teacher of this class to abuse her power, Shen Yi took charge of the lectures while Wu Zhangkong stood to the side in silence.

"A class battle will be held and the final victor will be the class president. Those who do exceptionally well will fill in the other positions. All of you will be going to a practice field later where you can fight to your heart's content. Feel free to make teams if you want to as well."

As she said that, the attention of all the students in the class were directed to Huang Yu almost immediately. Since Elder Cai had placed him in the first seat first row a few days ago, everyone wanted to show that they were more deserving of that spot than a slacker like Huang Yu who didn't even pay attention in nearly every class.

Hearing those words from Shen Yi, Huang Yu perked up. He raised a hand before asking, "Ms. Shen, is this a battle royale?"

Shen Yi raised an eyebrow. "I suppose you could call it something like that."

A bright smile appeared on Huang Yu's face as he gave a thumbs up. "Nice~"

"You all have fifteen minutes to prepare. You can do whatever you want during this time, it's all up to you. We will only observe the battle."

At that, everyone scurried about to form their own groups. The only exception to this was Huang Yu.

Gu Yue was most likely going to be sticking with him as a member of his group and she was stronger than everyone else here as well anyways. With the two strongest people in the class in one group, would there be any true suspense about who the winner would be?

Of course, the other students didn't know this. Only Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan had a small inkling of how strong he actually was.

Fifteen minutes passed by in a flash. Shen Yi and Wu Zhangkong led the 101 students of the first grade out of the classroom. They walked down a long hall, venturing into the depths of the school building.

They soon arrived in a large circular room.

"In a moment, all of you will enter an illusory world. It's rather similar to the spirit ascension platform which I assume all of you have been in before." Shen Yi said. She then shifted her gaze onto Huang Yu. "And please, do not do anything that might damage the illusory world."

The other students were all confused at Shen Yi's last sentence, but Gu Yue, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan knew what she was talking about.

*Cough* Huang Yu's snapping half the platform away. *Cough*

Several oval cabins appeared from the centre of the room. Then, all the students deftly went inside them so that they could be sent inside the illusory world.

Huang Yu and Gu Yue chose two of the cabins that were closer to one another before being sent in.

Inside the illusory world, Huang Yu found himself in a lush forest with dense flora. He sent an echolocation wave to the surroundings to confirm that Gu Yue was nowhere near him at the moment.

Since she wasn't here at the moment, he might as well go and have a bit of fun with the other students.

He was an Ace rank player in PUBG mobile. He was going to play those kids like a fiddle.

The first vic— classmate Huang Yu found was a large boy by the name of Yang Nianxia. It was really easy to find him since this guy was…

Well, he wasn't really being subtle about where he was with all the shouting out of Tang Wulin's name he had been doing.

Huang Yu dropped down from a tree he had been standing on, causing Yang Nianxia to instantly stiffen up.

'What? How did he approach me like this? I didn't even sense him." Yang Nianxia thought in shock. He was very confident in his own capabilities and didn't believe that there would be someone his age that could sneak up on him like this.

Huang Yu gave him a smile before waving his hand at him. "Hello there."

Yang Nianxia, seeing Huang Yu's distinct features, widened his eyes in astonishment. "Classmate Huang Yu. You are a bold one, to confront me like this."

Before Huang Yu could give a reply of his own, Yang Nianxia had already taken the initiative, activating his Duskgold Bear martial spirit and charged at him with his sharp claws.

Huang Yu chuckled softly seeing this but he didn't make a move to defend. Yang Nianxia eventually entered a close enough range to attack Huang Yu.

He swung down his massive claw, twisting his hips as he did so to provide that extra power to his strike. Noticing that Huang Yu wasn't even reacting, Yang Nianxia thought that Huang Yu wasn't all that the teachers had cracked him up to be.

However, to his surprise, he suddenly felt as if he had hit an unbreakable wall just as his claws were around thirty centimetres away from making contact with Huang Yu's head.

Yang Nianxia instantly jumped back. He was very wary of Huang Yu now. He didn't know what Huang Yu had done, but his thoughts about Huang Yu not being strong were quickly disappearing.

Despite his wariness, Yang Nianxia was a knuckleheaded individual thanks to his martial spirit. He charged forward once again with a flurry of blows this time.

A swipe at the ribs, a claw to the chest, a kick to the knee. Each and every attack that Yang Nianxia did, they were all stopped by an invisible force of nature.

At this, a sigh came out of Huang Yu's lips as he closed in eyes. "Good grief, are you really not capable of breaking through my defences?"

Yang Nianxia grit his teeth. "What the hell is that? Is that your martial spirit? Why is it invisible?"

"It is a pity then. You can't see it which means you don't have the potential to have this power..."

"What power?" Yang Nianxia narrowed his eyes.

Huang Yu's eyes burst open and he widened his arms, "Stando Powah. Go! Za Warudo!" Huang Yu shouted his bullshit with complete confidence.

In reality, what Huang Yu had done was manipulate the vectors to defend and attack as a stand would.

Yang Nianxia didn't even have a chance to react before he felt a massive force blast him in the gut, causing him to spit out a wad of blood. Before he could topple over from the force of the blow, he felt several extra attacks blasting at different parts of his body.

With that, Yang Nianxia disappeared in a flash of light.

"I guess it's time to go find the next vic— I mean classmate to terrorise."

Zheng Yiran, rank 30 in the Genius Youths Ranking competition was currently running in fear in the forest. Despite her martial spirit being a Jade Phosphor Serpent, she had no choice but to run away with cowardice as she was chased by a red-haired demon in her eyes.

That person was terrifying! She had just been resting with her two lackeys Zheng Long and Zheng Hu at a large tree before that person suddenly tore that tree in half shouting, "Here's Huang Yu!!!"

The three of them had attacked him. However, Zheng Long and Zheng Hu were instantly eliminated without any of them being able to react.

After running more than a kilometre at full throttle, she finally came to a stop to catch her breath. She had burned far too much spirit energy to facilitate her escape. Hopefully, she had lost him with all the running she had done.

Unfortunately, her hopes didn't come through.

Before she was eliminated, she merely heard a shout from that red-haired devil.

"Emerald Splash!"

From that attack, a portion of the forest was blasted into a large clearing. Landing there, Huang Yu laughed.

"No one can dodge the Emerald Splash."

Xu Yucheng was known as the rank 19 Immortal Xu Yucheng in the Genius Youths Ranking. He had always prided himself as a proud son of heaven thanks to his remarkably powerful martial spirit, the Reaper's Scythe.

Usually, all those who met him would run away in fear of his prowess. However, the people at Shrek Academy were all geniuses in their own right. Hence, his assumption that he would finally get people who could match up against him in this place was correct.

Despite all this, he didn't expect he would actually get completely outclassed. Especially by the person he had looked down upon a few hours ago.

It was especially infuriating since that exact person was literally toying around with him as he dodged all his attacks with ease.

"So, they call you the immortal right? Do you know a Meng Hao, Wang Lin or Su Ming by any chance?"

For God's sake, this guy was spouting references that he didn't even understand. Who the hell were those people anyway?

"Shut up!" Xu Yucheng shouted as his four spirit rings lit up behind him, in preparation for a powerful attack.

Huang Yu jumped back seeing this. "Since you have a cultivator-ish name, I shall respond in kind. See my ultimate move!"

Xu Yucheng didn't even bother paying attention to Huang Yu anymore as he swung his scythe, shooting a slash of devastating power at Huang Yu.

However, Huang Yu easily dodged the attack before disappearing from Xu Yucheng's eyes.

The next thing that Xu Yucheng saw was darkness before he disappeared in a flash of light.

Behind where Xu Yucheng once was, Huang Yu had a sagely smile on his face. In his hand was a weapon that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

"The Dao of the Brick is profound indeed."
