"Damn... even if I'm going to lose, I have to lose with dignity!"
"Originally, in the class, I was at the bottom of the strength rankings and was bullied everywhere, looked down upon by others."
"If I can't even scratch this assistant's skin now and lose, how can I possibly get by in class in the future!"
Thinking of this, Houzi couldn't help but take a deep breath and unleashed the strongest power controllable by his ability.
"Wind Blade Tornado!"
In an instant, a small tornado dozens of meters high formed out of thin air, embedded with dozens of wind blades, sweeping slowly towards Zhang Chen.
This level of power could easily shave a large tree into wood chips!
Whoosh...
As the tornado approached within five to six meters of Zhang Chen, it instantly disintegrated into a gentle breeze without any resistance, not even enough to be called a gust.
Zhang Chen's hair was slightly stirred.
"So... your ability is to blow wind, is that right?"
"Then, is it my turn next?"
Zhang Chen confirmed again.
"I surrender, you win, I'm no match for you!"
Seeing Zhang Chen's tone, Houzi quickly surrendered and withdrew from the combat arena.
What a joke, his full-power attack couldn't inflict even the slightest bit of damage on the opponent.
If the opponent were to make a move, would he even survive?
"Tch, trash!"
"Damn it, Houzi, you made me lose money, you wanna fight!"
"He actually surrendered? Hey, cannon fodder, have you forgotten your mission? You should at least try to figure out what kind of ability this assistant has!"
"Useless monkey, he must still be resentful about being beaten yesterday and is deliberately acting out with us today!"
"It doesn't matter, no matter what ability this assistant has, he won't make it through the next round. After all, the next round is fighting monsters! Monsters won't hold back against humans. If he's still not making a move like he is now, he's as good as dead."
The surrounding classmates muttered to themselves.
They all looked like they were watching a good show, not taking Zhang Chen seriously at all.
"Esteemed Assistant Teacher, congratulations on passing the first round with sheer luck. Next is the second round, please follow me!"
A student with green hair and tattoos said with a grin, making a gesture.
Zhang Chen was also curious about what these students were up to.
So he followed the green-haired student to the edge of a valley.
The valley wasn't high, only about twenty to thirty meters, but below were eerie white bones, and many strangely shaped insects crawling densely on the ground.
"This place is called Corpse Worm Valley, and it's where we conduct our combat training!"
"Below this position is the innermost area of Corpse Worm Valley. Other classes will break through from the valley entrance where monsters are scarce."
"However, our class always chooses the most difficult middle section to breakthrough."
"As a teacher, no matter how strong you are, you shouldn't be weaker than your students!"
The green-haired student said and suddenly kicked Zhang Chen.
Thump!
A powerful rebound force came from his foot, instead sending the green-haired student flying back more than ten meters.
Zhang Chen stood there as if nothing had happened, still observing the situation at the bottom of the valley.
"What's going on?"
The green-haired student was bewildered.
He used this surprise attack with great force, catching the opponent off guard. He had successfully kicked off more than a dozen assistant teachers before, even those with physical abilities.
After all, the law of action and reaction is relative. He had used so much force, and the opponent must have borne a corresponding amount of force.
However, this time the green-haired student intentionally wanted to embarrass Zhang Chen, so he had used all his strength in that kick. He was a powerful physical ability user. If the opponent was even slightly weaker, he would have suffered bone fractures, severed tendons, or even death on the spot!
Who would have thought that Zhang Chen would not only be unharmed after taking this kick but also wouldn't even move an inch?
This is unscientific?!
"Hmm? What are you doing?"
"These worms don't seem to come up. You don't need to hide so far away!"
"Besides, the teacher is here, you don't need to be afraid!"
Zhang Chen thought of "persuading people with virtue" and couldn't help but show a benevolent smile to the green-haired student.
However, the green-haired student, still shaken, was filled with fear towards Zhang Chen.
He felt that everything Zhang Chen said was sarcastic, and his tone was sinister.
Especially the creepy smile at the end.
"G-ghost..."
The green-haired student was so scared that he turned and ran. He felt that the longer he stayed alone with Zhang Chen, the closer he got to death.
"If you're so afraid of bugs, why come here? Really..."
Zhang Chen shook his head helplessly.
"I just need to fight my way out from the middle?"
Thinking this, Zhang Chen directly leaped into the valley floor.
Bang!
A large pit was blasted into the damp soil of the ground.
Squeak squeak!
The corpse worms around, smelling the scent of flesh and blood, slowly began to gather in Zhang Chen's direction.
There were far more corpse worms in this place than could be seen from above.
Many corpse worms were hidden within corpses and the soil, invisible at first glance.
Now they all emerged, densely packed, covering the entire mountainside.
Zhang Chen slowly raised his left hand, and as his thumb and middle finger touched, he immediately put his hand down.
"No, this world is too fragile. If I lose control of my strength and wipe out the entire world, that would be terrible!"
Thinking this, Zhang Chen activated another skill:
[Divine Burn]: Upon activation, a scorching field is generated around the skill owner, dealing continuous damage to hostile targets. All hostile targets that approach the scorching field will suffer continuous scorching damage until they leave or die.
However, even with this skill, Zhang Chen suppressed his energy to the lowest level, releasing only a tiny bit of energy to activate it.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a scorching wall of fire dozens of meters high, centered on Zhang Chen, rapidly expanded outwards.
"Oops, I still released too much energy!"
With a thought, Zhang Chen quickly deactivated the skill.
But the fire wall was spreading too fast. In an instant, it had burned everything in the valley to ashes.
At the other end of the valley, the students were unhurriedly walking towards the only exit of the valley.
"How long do you think this assistant teacher will take to come out? Or will he just disappear?"
"Based on past experience, more than half of the ten assistant teachers who came here managed to get out. I think the survival rate is still higher!"
"Then it depends on how long it takes for him to come out, and whether he'll be on the verge of death. If he's almost done for, let Ling Jiaojiao practice her healing ability!"
"Huh? Is it snowing? Black snow?"
"No, this isn't snow, it's ash. In areas of volcanic eruption, this kind of ash usually falls from the sky..."
Upon saying this, everyone couldn't help but shiver.
"Speaking of which... why are there no corpse worms here anymore? It's strangely quiet..."
