Chapter 142: A Sudden Rise, the Strongest Dark Horse!
"Why are you all looking at like that?"
Seeing everyone staring at him with strange expressions, Chen Ye, who had rested for a while, cheerfully asked, "Are you all amazed by how handso I am?"
No one spoke, but they continued to stare intently at Chen Ye, waiting for his explanation.
After thinking for a mont, Chen Ye straightforwardly said, "I know you were all surprised by the strength I just displayed... Let put it this way: actually, the hero talent I bonded with a year ago wasn't C-level, but S1!"
"As for why the testing device showed a white light? Sorry, I don't know that either."
"The S1 talent is indeed powerful. In just one year, my constitution, strength, and agility have each surpassed 2,000 points!"
"That's how I gained the strength I have now."
Upon hearing this, everyone collectively gasped, their eyes filled with astonishnt as they looked at Chen Ye!!
The legendary S1 talent!
And soone actually bonded with it?
Moreover, that person was their classmate, their student? Sitting right in front of them, and who had just perford a miracle for everyone to witness!
It felt like a dream.
Only Tang Zichen had a faint smile on her lips when she heard Chen Ye's words...
As Chen Ye's teacher, Old Liu was the first to speak, "Chen Ye, since you bonded with the strongest talent, why didn't you tell anyone? Why let everyone misunderstand you and keep thinking of you as..."
"As a useless person? That's actually pretty good!"
Chen Ye smiled and said, "Take the class monitor for example. She bonded with S2, which indeed caused a national sensation. But what did she gain? Endless assassination attempts! Foreign forces even resorted to underhanded tactics, like offering a sky-high bounty, just to kill her."
"Mr. Liu, if they knew I bonded with S1, how do you think they would treat ?"
Old Liu was stunned, then he realized that Chen Ye had a point.
At this mont, Tang Zichen chid in, "Teacher, in the last four secret realms, except for the third one, I was almost always targeted by assassins. If it weren't for Chen Ye, I don't think I would have survived even the first secret realm."
"The reason I always stay close to Chen Ye is because only he can protect !"
"Moreover, every ti we received extra rewards, the real credit didn't belong to ; it was Chen Ye's doing!"
Everyone suddenly understood.
"Chen Ye, you were right to keep a low profile."
Old Liu suddenly stood up and solemnly bowed to Chen Ye, "As your teacher, I apologize for my short-sightedness in the past!"
He was referring to the tis when he too thought Chen Ye was unworthy of Tang Zichen.
Chen Ye quickly responded, "Mr. Liu, Teacher Liu, there's no need for that."
Chen Ye was still quite satisfied with Old Liu, who truly lived up to the title of a dedicated teacher, never holding anything back from his students.
"No, you are a Tier 6 expert!"
Old Liu smiled, "Moreover, once we leave, I'll forget all of this. Let give you a heads-up now, so if there are any misunderstandings in the future, you won't hold it against ."
Chen Ye, with injuries on his back, couldn't get up to stop Old Liu, so he could only accept his teacher's bow helplessly.
Although Old Liu was his teacher, in the world of superhumans, strength was the key to respect. With his current strength, Chen Ye certainly deserved Old Liu's bow.
"Teacher, the way you're talking, you're going to forget everything after leaving, so how could I rember it?"
Old Liu was taken aback, then he chuckled, "That's true! We'll all lose our mories."
"That's not so bad." Chen Ye said, "The way you're acting now is making a bit uncomfortable. I still prefer how we used to interact."
Zhao Zheng suddenly asked, "Senior Brother, in the third secret realm, I've always been puzzled. That night, why did the monster army not co for us... Did you kill them all?"
"It wasn't that exaggerated," Chen Ye laughed, "I only killed about half of them, the rest ran away in fear."
Everyone: "..."
Zhao Zheng nodded, finally resolving his long-standing confusion.
However, once he leaves, this confusion will arise again.
"Big Brother Chen, Big Brother Chen!" Cao Yu called out loudly, "Earlier, you said you defeated a Tier 6 expert? You weren't just bragging?"
"Old Cao, you're a bit snobbish! You used to call Old Chen!" Chen Ye laughed, "What's there to brag about? That big monk nad Shiwu, I was the one who injured him..."
Hearing this, Principal Lu's eyes glead, "You're Long Aotian?"
Chen Ye looked at Principal Lu, "Yes, Principal. I thank you on behalf of my father for your support last ti!"
"What support?!" Principal Lu waved his hand, "I didn't do anything; you got the Elental Demon's core all by yourself."
After saying that, he sighed, "The legendary S1 talent, it truly is extraordinary!"
At this mont.
Brother Ji, Mr. Cai, suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Ye.
"So you are Mr. Long Aotian! Thank you for saving my life last ti!"
Chen Ye quickly responded, "Mr. Cai, there's no need to thank . You stayed behind to cover us and ended up in danger. It was my duty to co back and help you."
Upon ntioning this, Old Liu finally understood that the person who caused his neck pain for more than half a month was none other than Chen Ye.
However, instead of any resentnt, he felt fortunate to have a student with such top-tier talent as Chen Ye.
If not for Chen Ye, he would not have survived.
The academy would have lost a genius like Tang Zichen!
Ren Qianqian spoke up, "Big Brother Chen, how long do you plan to keep this hidden?"
"Yo! Xiao Qianqian, you finally called Big Brother?"
Chen Ye laughed and then thought for a mont before saying, "I'll probably reveal it when I beco truly invincible, when no one dares to ss with ."
Cao Yu opened his mouth, as if he still had many questions to ask.
Seeing this, Chen Ye quickly said, "I know you all have a lot of questions, but I'm a bit tired now. Let take a nap, and we can talk later."
Hearing this, Old Liu imdiately said, "Yes, yes, Chen Ye, you should rest first. Although the injury on your back isn't severe, it still needs careful attention... Tang Zichen, I'm leaving the task of taking care of Chen Ye to you."
"If anyone has more questions, let's wait until Chen Ye is better. Right now, Chen Ye is our Martial Arts Team's only hope."
Everyone nodded in agreent.
Then, with Tang Zichen's help, Chen Ye headed back to his room.
In truth, Chen Ye wasn't actually tired.
With Saitama's constitution, he could have fought like that all day long!
The injury on his back was a minor issue; it was already healing and scabbing over. It would probably be fully healed in just a little while.
He said he was tired just to get so peace and quiet.
Almost as soon as Chen Ye left, Ren Qianqian couldn't wait and said, "Now that we have a super expert like Chen Ye, don't we have a great chance of making it into the top 100?"
"Of course, there's hope!" Cao Yu laughed. "Old Chen just eliminated the number one in the country; we might even have a shot at the top ten!"
Even Old Liu nodded seriously, "As long as Chen Ye doesn't encounter soone like President Ba, a top-tier expert, in the upcoming elimination rounds, making it into the top 100 is practically guaranteed."
At this mont, Tall Sister-in-law Gao Ye suddenly asked curiously, "Mr. Liu, could you tell us more about your student, Chen Ye?"
...
Ti passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, two days had gone by.
The fourth round of eliminations began!
[This is the opponent the system has randomly assigned to you for the fourth round. Would you like to accept the challenge?]
[Please make your decision within 30 seconds! Failure to respond will be considered a forfeit.]
[Note: Choosing to forfeit will result in imdiate elimination.]
Seeing his opponent this ti, Chen Ye couldn't help but smile.
What a coincidence!
After Chen Ye accepted the challenge, the holographic screen in front of him disappeared.
Cao Yu quickly asked, "Old Chen, who's your opponent this ti?"
"Zheng Shuilong!"
Chen Ye replied, "He's the guy who injured Qianqian before!"
Cao Yu was stunned for a mont, then said fiercely, "You better give him a good beating and avenge Qianqian."
Old Liu imdiately objected, "We can't do that. In this elimination round, aside from those with pre-existing grudges, most people are fighting with restraint. Chen Ye can't set a bad example."
Everyone understood that Old Liu had a point.
In fact, Zheng Shuilong had shown restraint against Ren Qianqian last ti.
Cao Yu fell silent, though he still looked a bit unwilling.
As for Ren Qianqian herself, she didn't say anything.
Soon enough, it was Chen Ye's turn to take the stage.
"Platform 5!"
Chen Ye tossed out these words before stepping into the portal.
Hearing this, everyone imdiately turned their attention to Platform 5.
...
As soon as Chen Ye's figure appeared on Platform 5, he imdiately attracted countless eyes!
"Look at Platform 5, it's that bald guy!"
"Stop calling him 'bald guy.' Show so respect to the strong. He's Young Master Chen, a Tier 6 powerhouse!"
"Hey! I rember you used to call Young Master Chen a pretty boy?"
"...That was then, this is now. I didn't know before that Young Master Chen was so low-key."
"Damn it, I'll keep calling him 'bald guy!' Isn't he bald? He used underhanded tactics to eliminate Ms. Qin, so it's already good enough that I'm not cursing him out."
"Speaking of which, now that Ms. Qin was unexpectedly eliminated, does this an the global championship is out of our reach again?"
"I'm curious, though, what's the strength of that foreign champion who wins every year?"
Ever since Chen Ye's sudden rise two days ago and his elimination of Qin Muyin, his na and face had been deeply etched in the minds of countless people.
These past two days, he had beco the talk of many, hailed as the strongest dark horse!!
Many people found Chen Ye's rapid ascent to be utterly unbelievable.
If Qin Muyin hadn't destroyed the entire platform that day, people might have really suspected that the two of them were faking their fight...
At this mont.
On Platform 5.
When Zheng Shuilong saw Chen Ye appear, his expression remained as arrogant as ever.
"Brother Chen Ye, I didn't expect you to have hidden your strength so well."
Zheng Shuilong said this as he pulled his hands out of his pockets and assud a Hong Fist stance.
"Co on! Let see your true strength!"
Chen Ye rely smiled faintly.
Then, imitating the way Zheng Shuilong had defeated others, he stuffed his hands into his pockets.
Using his own thod against him.
Since this Shuilong didn't know how to respect others, he didn't deserve Chen Ye's respect either.
Even if the other party was his martial uncle's disciple...
Is it possible? Is there anyone out there who thinks eliminating Qin Muyin was the biggest highlight of this secret realm?
Don't worry, the real excitent is just around the corner!
