Chapter 8: Who is Yasuo?

Meanwhile, outside the Trial Tower.

It was still bustling and crowded with people.

Many students had just exited the Trial Tower, plopping down on the ground and panting heavily.

"Damn it, the exotic beasts in this Trial Tower are way too fierce! Our team fought for our lives just to barely climb to the third floor!"

A student belonging to the Warrior profession gulped down a few mouthfuls of water.

Hearing this, someone next to him scoffed: "The third floor? Look at your pathetic ambition! Our team has already fought our way to the fourth floor!"

"Stop bragging! A C-Class Berserker, don't I know what you're really worth?" the previous student said disdainfully.

In the center of the plaza not far from the Trial Tower stood a huge black crystal display screen.

At this moment, the screen had not yet lit up, but it was already surrounded by layer upon layer of people.

Here, the progress of the top one hundred teams or individuals in this Trial Tower challenge would be displayed in real time.

In the crowd, several extraordinary-looking middle-aged men were particularly eye-catching.

They were precisely the principals of the various Professionals high schools in Tianhai City.

"Principal Zhang, you've arrived quite early," a principal wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking slightly scholarly greeted with a smile.

The one called Principal Zhang was none other than the principal of Tianhai No. 1 High School. Hearing this, a trace of smugness appeared on his face:

"Principal Li is too polite. I heard that your No. 2 High School also produced an A-Class Holy Light chanter this year, and she's even the eldest Young Miss of the Ye Family. Tsk tsk, her future is boundless."

Principal Li gave a reserved smile: "Not at all. On the contrary, your No. 1 High School's A-Class Pyro Mage Lu Qi is the Young Master of Zhou Feng from the Zhou Family. In my opinion, this year's first place in the Trial Tower will most likely be safely in the bag for your No. 1 High School."

Principal Zhang laughed heartily, being modest on the surface: "Hard to say, hard to say. Matters concerning young people can never be certain."

The principals of No. 3 High School and No. 4 High School standing nearby listened to the two flattering each other, feeling bitter inside.

Their schools didn't even produce a single A-Class Professional this year, so this Trial Tower challenge was basically just running alongside as spectators.

Right at this moment, the crowd let out a commotion.

The huge black crystal display screen slowly lit up!

Golden runes flowed across the screen, and rows of names and data began to emerge.

The gazes of several principals were instantly drawn over.

However, when they saw clearly that line of data at the very top of the screen, the smiles on their faces froze simultaneously.

"Who… is this Yasuo?" Principal Zhang frowned tightly.

"Which school is he from?" Principal Li also revealed a puzzled expression.

The four principals looked at each other, their eyes filled with bewilderment.

They didn't know him!

At this moment, on the display screen, the name ranked first was impressively——

[First Place: Yasuo (Individual) – Seventh Floor!]

In just over six hours!

The seventh floor!

This speed was simply outrageous!

You must know that right behind him, ranked second, was the team of Lu Qi from Tianhai No. 1 High School, whose current progress was the fifth floor!

Third place was the team led by Ye Xi, also on the fifth floor, just with a slightly slower clearance speed.

The key was that both Lu Qi and Ye Xi had full five-person teams!

And this Yasuo clearly had the words "Individual" marked right after his name!

Soloing by himself, not only was he far ahead, but he even directly left behind the full teams led by two A-Class Geniuses by a full two floors!

Was this reasonable?!

Was this fucking scientific?!

Principal Zhang of Tianhai No. 1 High School's expression darkened instantly, his tone unkind: "Which school's student is this Yasuo anyway? He hides deep enough!"

Principal Li also said in a deep voice: "Judging by this stance, I'm afraid he's an S-Class Professional, right?"

The other two principals shook their heads repeatedly.

"He's not from our school!"

"If our school had such a fierce person, could I not pull him out to show off?"

This chance to suppress other principals and flex hard, who wouldn't want it?

But after checking the accounts, among the four key high schools, there was simply no such figure!

Not just these few principals.

The surrounding students and parents watching the display screen also burst into gasps of disbelief at this moment.

"Holy crap! Who the hell is this Yasuo?! So fierce?!"

"The seventh floor?! Solo?! You gotta be kidding me! Is he even human?"

"A fault-line style lead! This brother directly left Lu Qi and Ye Xi's group completely in the dust!"

"Too outrageous! What kind of monster emerged this year?"

In the crowd, that uniformed teacher who previously stopped the conflict between Zhou Huai and Lu Qi outside the tower was also looking up at the display screen at this moment.

When he saw the name "Yasuo" hanging high at the top of the leaderboard, a trace of undisguised surprise flashed in his eyes.

He remembered this name.

He also remembered the weathered face on that information card that was extremely inconsistent with his age.

"Interesting…"

The teacher hooked the corner of his mouth into a meaningful smile.

He walked aside, took out his communicator, and dialed a number.

Soon, a cold, melodious female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What is it?"

The male teacher grinned and lowered his voice: "Coming to Tianhai this time, it seems like I… struck gold."

The woman on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds.

"What do you mean?"

"I met a very interesting student." The male teacher's tone carried a hint of excitement.

The woman seemed to understand something.

"You want to bring him back?"

The male teacher smiled confidently: "Of course! There's no reason to let someone I've set my sights on slip away easily!"

The woman gave a faint "Mn" and reminded him: "Then good luck. Remember, keep your hands and feet clean, and don't make too big of a commotion. There are quite a few people eyeing us recently, not just those veteran guilds, even the military side has started making some moves."

"Understood." A sharp light flashed in the male teacher's eyes, "After finishing this job, I'll go back."
