Chapter 183: Chapter 182: Monster Camp · The Worst Batch · Invisibility

Crackle crackle!

A series of electric currents surged, sounding in the southwestern sky.

Everyone was as if facing a formidable enemy, assuming a defensive stance.

Recently, the work of the Super Bureau has been progressing smoothly, with various relevant departments cooperating seamlessly.

Nationwide, citizens were coordinating with the higher-ups, frequently conducting emergency response drills.

Faced with similar situations, what to do and what not to do was understood clearly, even by kids as young as seven or eight.

Someone quickly took out their phone and, after inputting 911, suddenly realized they were inside Grass Hut Academy.

If any alien invader dared to come to this place…

One could only say, it would be their misfortune.

So, whether old or new members, everyone waited calmly and quietly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was as if the air barrier was violently shattered, making an eerie explosive sound.

In an instant, bright red lightning fell right in front of Grass Hut Academy.

A new second-phase student sniffed subtly, catching a whiff of the ozone smell that old laser printers sometimes emit after copying documents.

“They’ve mastered the power of thunder…”

Just as he was about to continue analyzing, there came an exclamation from the side.

“It’s the Demon Child!”

“The Prophet’s aura was already strong, but I didn’t expect the Demon Child’s presence to be even… even…”

“Even more aggressive?”

“Exactly! That’s the word I was looking for!”

“What a terrifying man! Standing in front of him, I feel my legs are shaking!”

“Is the Demon Child really human? He feels like a Tyrannosaurus in human form, I can hardly breathe! And that’s without being targeted… if the Demon Child stared at me for a while, he might not even need to do anything, and I’d drop dead on the spot…”

“Shh! Keep it down! Speaking recklessly, are you tired of living?!”

Crackle crackle…

The dark red lightning dispersed, revealing a red-haired young man in casual wear before everyone.

He casually tossed a boy dressed in the Grass Hut Academy uniform toward the crowd.

The boy reacted swiftly, seemingly accustomed to such treatment, lightly rotating his body midair, quickly regaining his balance, twisting and landing steadily.

The red-haired youth ignored everyone present, leisurely walking up to Ma Ran.

In his eyes, everyone else was like cats and dogs, something to toy with when free— but first, he needed to finish interacting with a “person.”

Ma Ran looked up, speaking calmly, “Did you find it?”

The man known as the Demon Child raised a sharp eyebrow, “No.”

As he spoke, his bones crackled with violence, his face filled with murderous intent, as if ready to strike at any moment: “That Wu brat was noisy about making friends, and with the drinks gone, I decided to come back.”

That Wu brat, naturally, was none other than Wu Di.

In the crowd, Wu Di stood before the second-phase new students, glancing around, feeling quite excited, with a tone that carried a hint of cheer.

But his words were somewhat harsh.

“Originally, Ah Hao told me that among the newcomers, there might be some impressive figures.”

“I didn’t believe it, I wanted to see for myself.”

“Now that I’m back, I’m greatly disappointed!”

“You are the worst batch of academy members I’ve ever seen!”

Theoretically, there was nothing wrong with Wu Di’s words.

It wasn’t the typical platitude teachers say every year; it was indeed his honest opinion.

The first phase of Grass Hut Academy goes without saying— Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei suppressed all dissension, and with members like Wan Haihao and Dong Huaiming gaining recent fame, the other academies half-teased, half-revered it as a “monster camp.”

Members from other provinces, either went through the Lotus City Demon Mountain event, truly experiencing the battlefield, or honed themselves fighting the frequently appearing White Manes during this period.

Comparing newcomers to veterans was quite unfair.

In the crowd, Wan Haihao covered his forehead with a hand, sighing.

“Wu Di… truly worthy of you.”

He was willing to call him the strongest when it came to being thick-headed!

With just one sentence, he managed to offend everyone.

With this demeanor, he still wants to make friends.

In the next life!

Ma Ran and Demon Child didn’t mind Wu Di’s provocative behavior, accustomed to it, their emotions unaffected, conversing as if no one else was there.

“Have you considered the thing I mentioned before?” Zhang Kuang asked, his dark red aura vaguely condensing into a demonic shadow, making everyone’s hairs stand on end, a chilling aura surrounding him.

Ma Ran remained composed, unaffected, speaking calmly, “As I said before.”

“I can’t make this decision; you need to consult President Huang.”

Hearing this, the Demon Child sharply turned his head, eyes landing on Old Huang.

In the next instant, Ma Ran’s figure flashed, appearing between the two.

He turned around, as if nothing happened, walking to President Huang’s side, speaking in a work-reporting tone: “While resting at home earlier, I used Limited Foreknowledge to see a news report from a month later.”

“The frequency of small-scale White Mane descents has increased.”

“However, large-scale events similar to A3 District and Lotus City Demon Mountain did not occur.”

In other words, within a month, Earth… at least within China, wouldn’t have any major issues.

While Old Huang was pondering over Ma Ran’s words, Zhang Kuang suddenly spoke: “If that’s the case, why not find something to do yourself?”

“For instance…”

“Counterattack and exterminate the ’White Manes,’ destroying their civilization.”

“Old man, you heard what I just said to Ma Ran, right?”

“Just hand over that sword-wielding White Mane to me…”

“In return, I’ll let you hear more of the White Mane’s screams and wails.”

Upon hearing this, the muscles on Old Huang’s face twitched slightly.

The Demon Child’s way of doing things was truly unconventional…

If it were as easy as he said, that would be great!

Meanwhile, Su Qiangwei was using the yet undeveloped ability of Invisibility and the Pillar Level ability Yukong, floating above Grass Hut Academy, tossing pine nuts into her mouth while watching the show.

She brushed her long hair behind her, munching continuously.

After reaching the Third Rank of Inner Qi, the rapid hair growth was quite a hassle.

It felt quite smooth to the touch, but the problem was, overly long hair severely affected personal ability during battles!

When Ma Ran jumped from the Third to the Fourth Rank at lightning speed, it wasn’t apparent, but when it happened to her, she realized just how troublesome the characteristics of the Third Rank of Inner Qi were.

Invisibility, though it sounded impressive, was actually a funny ability— simply put, it’s an invisibility ability that only activates when the ability user’s feet leave the ground.

When the phenomenon of Superpower Erosion occurs, the cost is that any contact with floating tools causes the ability user to faint instantly.

In Su Qiangwei’s personal classification, both Invisibility and Gaudy Attacker were categorized as “comedy.”

Using these abilities alone, there existed methods to bypass the limitations and utilize their effects.

However…

Their Superpower Erosion was utterly absurd, so much so that they could truly be called a “self-destructive Great Wall” example!

The more they are used, the more useless the ability becomes!

Thankfully…

Most people, after coming into contact with the Victory Stone, awaken relatively normal abilities.

The number of comedic superpowers is exceptionally low, with an incredibly low occurrence probability, only encountered by some extremely unlucky individuals.

Thinking of this, Su Qiangwei raised her brows slightly, shifting her gaze from the boy with the phone seemingly recording from behind Ma Ran to the Demon Child Zhang Kuang: “This person’s pettiness doesn’t fall short of Ma Ran’s.”

How much time has passed, and he’s still thinking about that White Mane who could transform into a flesh giant!

If I recall correctly, Zhang Kuang was pummeling them from start to finish, right?

Originally, Su Qiangwei thought when the Demon Child said he’d find his “gun” and go to eliminate the White Mane’s entire family, it was just harsh talk.

Now it seems, this guy was serious?
