Chapter 33 Is this guy a student?
Wang Yang couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of Deputy Director Liu cowering in the air.
The laughter was particularly grating, like a slap across Wei Yuan's face, which had turned a deep, liver-colored hue.
Jiang Ming didn't stop, not even sparing a glance at these people.
He held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, his boots making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound as they trod on the gravel-strewn cement ground.
Five people followed closely behind.
Only after the group completely disappeared around the corner leading to the path outside the school did Wei Yuan suddenly slam the megaphone in his hand to the ground.
"Damn it! What are you pretending for!"
The plastic casing cracked, and the battery rolled out.
"Chairman, we..."
A physical education student came over, clutching a table leg stained with green blood.
"Let the monkeys follow them." Wei Yuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "Find out where they went, what they did, and... just how many of these shields they hid."
He didn't believe these people could conjure equipment out of thin air.
They definitely have an armory.
Once we find that place...
Wei Yuan's greed overcame his fear. He straightened his collar and once again adopted the demeanor of a leader.
"The rest of you, follow me to the teaching building and the main building to search for supplies! Anyone who doesn't want to starve, get moving!"
On the other side...
Zhao Yanzhi looked in the direction Jiang Ming had left, his brows furrowing into a deep frown.
"President, shall we go take a look too?" one of the members asked tentatively.
Zhao Yanzhi didn't speak, but simply gestured with his chin towards a thin boy next to him.
"Wei, be smart, just stay far away and don't get caught."
"clear."
Two groups of people, each with their own thoughts, both turned their gaze to the secluded path.
……
The path leading out of the school is not wide, with wildly growing shrubs on both sides, their branches stretching towards the middle of the road like ghostly hands.
"Old Jiang, there's a tail behind you."
Li Bin pushed up his glasses, which had slipped down to the tip of his nose, and spoke in a voice that only those around him could hear.
Although he didn't have Jiang Ming's abnormal perception, the feeling of being watched made him very uncomfortable.
"Two."
Jiang Ming didn't even turn his head, casually slicing through a thorny bush blocking his path with his black iron longsword.
"One is from Wei Yuan's side, and the other is from the Archery Club."
His perception, which was as high as 8 points, allowed him to clearly hear the crisp sound of the two people behind him breaking dry branches.
"Should we...?"
Li Bin made a throat-slitting gesture, gripping the golf club tightly in his hand.
"There's no need."
Jiang Ming stopped in his tracks. Ten meters ahead, several green heads were peeking out from the bushes.
"A free audience—perfect for showing them what the difference is."
The voice just fell.
"Wah la wah la!"
Four goblins, each wielding a stick and a stone, sprang out of the bushes.
They clearly saw these six people as breakfast delivered to their doorstep, drooling as they charged forward with strange cries.
"Dry!"
Jiang Ming gave a low shout.
No need for unnecessary words.
After last night's ordeal, his reaction speed is no longer that of a novice who had just left the dormitory.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three simple shields followed behind Jiang Ming to meet the enemy.
"Bang! Bang!"
The goblin's club slammed hard against the wavy metal sheet.
Wood chips flew everywhere.
These shields, assembled by Jiang Ming, are far harder than those broken wooden planks.
Apart from a few dents on the metal surface, the three people behind Zhong Chengyu didn't even shake.
Jiang Ming thrust out with his sword.
"Pfft!"
Unfortunately, the stab missed, only piercing the goblin's right shoulder but not its head.
Li Bin followed closely behind, his golf club—now sharpened at the tip—precisely finishing off the goblin with a venomous strike, piercing its throat.
At the same time, Wang Yang made a move.
Although the fat man looked clumsy, his 8-point strength attribute made him look like a human tank at that moment.
He didn't use any special techniques.
He simply swung his arm in a wide arc.
"Die!!"
The short-handled axe, whistling through the air, came down and struck the goblin on the head as it tried to climb over the shield.
"Snap!"
Like splitting open a rotten watermelon.
The red and white objects exploded.
The goblin didn't even have time to scream before it was chopped to death by that axe.
The remaining two goblins were dumbfounded.
Their brains, no bigger than walnuts, couldn't comprehend why these two-legged creatures, which looked like "food," had suddenly become terrifying enemies.
In the instant they were stunned...
Jiang Ming made a move.
He didn't use a shield, but launched a fierce attack directly.
The blood-dripping black iron longsword drew a perfect red crescent in the air.
A flash of sword light.
Two green heads shot into the sky.
Blood gushed out, staining the roadside weeds green.
The battle is over.
Time taken: five seconds.
"Huff... huff..."
Wang Yang, panting heavily, pulled the axe from the corpse, bringing out a string of viscous liquid.
"Cool!"
He wiped the bloodstains from his face, and the notification that popped up on his retina made his fat jiggle with excitement.
[Defeat Goblin (Lv.1) to gain 10 experience points]
Congratulations! Your level has increased to Lv.2!
[Gain 1 free attribute point!]
"Old Jiang! I've leveled up!"
Wang Yang let out a howl, wishing he could hug Jiang Ming and kiss him.
"Improve physical fitness."
Jiang Ming flicked the blood off the blade, his tone as calm as if he were saying, "Let's have noodles tonight."
"You have enough strength, but you're too weak. If you don't improve your physique, you'll be out of breath after just a few steps."
"Yes, Godfather! I'll do whatever you say!"
Without hesitation, Wang Yang added that precious 1 point of attribute to his physique.
Instantly, a warm current flowed through his body, and the soreness from swinging the axe dissipated by most of it, even making his breathing much easier.
……
And behind the bushes fifty meters away from the battlefield.
The monkey froze completely.
He was holding a broken cell phone, the screen still showing the recording of what had just happened.
My hands are shaking like I have Parkinson's.
"This...this is a student?"
He swallowed hard, feeling as if there was sand stuck in his throat.
The perfect coordination just now, the ruthless efficiency of the killing, and the violent aesthetics of that fat guy chopping the monster to death with a single axe blow...
They were a completely different species from the students he had seen before who were waving mops around and crying for their mothers when they were chased by goblins!
Especially those shields.
After withstanding several heavy blows from the goblin, it only left a few marks!
"Damn it... Chairman Wei sent me to track these killing machines?"
The monkey felt a chill in its crotch.
Without a second thought, he turned around and started crawling back.
This intelligence must be sent back.
This is hardly a fat sheep.
These are clearly a bunch of Tyrannosaurus Rex in human skin!
Behind the tree on the other side, Ah Wei, whom Zhao Yanzhi had sent, was also deathly pale.
He covered his mouth tightly, afraid that making even the slightest sound would attract the attention of those people.
too strong.
That kind of calm and collected killing method is something that ordinary students could never do.
I must tell the president.
These people...
Never mess with them!
