Chapter 14: Speak louder, I can't hear you!

"Ye Hong?!"

"Ye Hong is still alive? This can't be true!"

"With Zhou Hao's bounty on his head, Ye Hong should be dead!"

Upon recognizing the incoming figure, the students who had passed the assessment mission of the Metahuman Academy couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

As they knew, Pan Bin and his group had taken the initiative to offer their help, or rather, to curry favor with Zhou Hao, in order to eliminate Ye Hong.

But now, Ye Hong was still alive, while Pan Bin and his group had died in the copy world.

Could it be that Pan Bin and his group were all killed by Ye Hong?

This couldn't be!

The first reaction of everyone was disbelief. After all, Ye Hong was known as a notorious underachiever in their class.

Ye Hong scanned the crowd with a cold smile and didn't say much.

He only gave Teacher Li Ge a glance.

Superb quality!

With such good looks and physique, it was almost tempting to commit a crime.

However, that was all. Ye Hong didn't look at her any longer.

After integrating the memories of the unlucky fellow who shared the same name as him, Ye Hong knew that Teacher Li Ge was incredibly powerful and had a fiery temper.

He didn't want to court trouble.

At least until he had enough strength to conquer her, Ye Hong wouldn't have any thoughts about Teacher Li Ge.

Otherwise, it would be a humiliation.

Although Ye Hong didn't look at her for long, Teacher Li Ge was surprised and looked at him several times.

She had also heard about Zhou Hao's bounty.

As a senior with several levels higher in strength, Zhou Hao's bullying was indeed excessive.

But in the Metahuman Academy and even the entire Cycle Space, the law of the jungle, the strong prey upon the weak, prevailed.

Such matters could only be resolved by Ye Hong himself.

Even if she intervened and helped once, it wouldn't make much difference because Zhou Hao could continue to issue bounties.

Like the other students, Teacher Li Ge was surprised that Ye Hong had survived.

After the surprise, Teacher Li Ge said calmly, "Add one more slot. This time, a total of 24 students have passed the assessment."

"Alright, you can disperse now."

"Oh, wait, I almost forgot. There will be another assessment mission at the academy a month later. The difficulty level will be much higher then."

With that, the Cycle Mark on Teacher Li Ge's forehead flashed, and she disappeared from the spot.

"Cycle Mark teleportation!"

"I heard that this is a privilege exclusive to residents of the First Ring Area, allowing them to teleport back to their residences anytime and anywhere."

"Woe is me, if only I could live in the First Ring Area one day, preferably as a neighbor of Teacher Li Ge!"

Upon seeing this, the crowd let out exclamations of envy.

For them, who had just entered the Cycle Tower, the First Ring Area was too distant to imagine.

It was said that there were detached villas and even more exclusive privileges in the First Ring Area.

What no one expected was that the underachiever Ye Hong in their eyes actually had a villa card for the First Ring Area.

"Can teleport back to my residence anytime?" Listening to the crowd's discussion, a hint of amusement flashed in Ye Hong's eyes.

It was pretty much as he had expected. The villa card for the First Ring Area indeed had many privileges.

Just the ability to teleport anytime and anywhere was very convenient.

After all, the Cycle Space was vast. In the past, when he lived in the Ninth Ring Area, walking without any transportation would have been exhausting.

Ye Hong didn't rush to activate the villa card for the First Ring Area. After all, the Cycle Square was crowded with people. If someone noticed, it would be troublesome.

Teacher Li Ge dared to do so because she had powerful strength as a guarantee.

At this stage, he didn't have that kind of strength, so it was wise to play it safe and develop stealthily.

"Ye Hong, stop!"

"I ask you, where are Pan Bin and the others?"

"Don't tell me they were all killed by you!"

Just as Ye Hong was about to leave, someone called out to him.

Ye Hong frowned slightly. The accusatory tone made him feel uncomfortable.

"Huh, you dare to stare at me? It seems that after participating in a copy mission, your courage has grown!"

"I think it's necessary for me to make you see sense and deeply recognize your identity."

"You are just an underachiever!"

Zhang Jun had a mocking expression on his face, and his words also caused laughter from the others.

In their opinion, a loser should have the consciousness of a loser.

But the next moment, their laughter stopped abruptly.

In the blink of an eye, they were horrified to see that Zhang Jun had already been choked and lifted up.

Zhang Jun's face turned red to purple, and he wanted to resist, but at this moment, he heard the Crisp sound of his neck breaking.

Immediately after that, his eyes went dark, and he completely lost consciousness.

"Zhang Jun was killed?"

"Just like that?"

"This is the Recycle Square, in front of everyone. Ye Hong killed Zhang Jun like slaughtering a chicken?!"

Everyone present widened their eyes in horror. Was this still the timid loser in their impression?

Ye Hong threw away Zhang Jun's body and sneered coldly, "Loser? Speak louder, I can't hear you. If you have the guts, say it again!"

Facing Ye Hong's icy gaze, all the students present lowered their heads, and their eyes were filled with panic.

Everyone was scared by Ye Hong.
