challenge
"Why are you acting strangely today?" The next morning, Xi Ze woke up early to prepare breakfast. Before he even stepped foot into the kitchen, he was greeted by a burning smell. He thought something had burned, so he jumped. But then he heard Yu Sheng humming an unidentified song while frying an egg with his hands on the pan.
The poor egg had already turned black, but Yu Sheng, the "chef", was still unaware of it.
Hearing Xi Ze's words, Yu Sheng stopped humming and turned around to say, "Fan Er, are you awake? I'll let you taste my cooking skills later!"
"..." Caesar looked at the blackened fried eggs in the pan, then at the burnt bread next to it, and fell silent.
Ten minutes later, Haydn finished washing up and happily sat down at his seat at the dining table. Just as he was about to praise the chef Faner as usual, he found that in front of him was a fried egg that was so broken that it was almost unrecognizable.
It was like a bolt from the blue!
After learning that this was Yu Sheng's craft, Haydn almost cried and begged Yu Sheng, "Qiuqiu, promise me that you will never go into the kitchen again, okay?"
Yu Sheng reached out and patted Haydn's head, "Don't worry, I only like to cook when I'm in a good mood."
"...Then I can only cruelly wish you a bad mood every day." Haydn said regretfully.
Nishizawa squinted his eyes and looked at the two bickering people. Finally, his gaze fell on Yu Sheng, who looked radiant after only one night, and he touched his chin.
There is a problem.
After breakfast, Haydn and Yu Sheng went to school with a look of despair on their faces. There were no classes scheduled this morning, but they still had important things to do.
——Class C——
"Hey, Rick! What are you in such a hurry to do?" A boy with a playful face called out to Rick who was rushing out as soon as the get out of class was over.
Rick turned around, smiled smugly, and winked at the boy. "On the first day of school, I hooked up with a little girl. She's not hot, but definitely pretty and cute. I asked her to go to the library today."
"Brother Li Ke is awesome!" the boy gave a thumbs up. "He's so single in this place of men. When will you introduce the brothers to some girls?"
"Hey, wait until I get this girl, I'll ask her girlfriends if they're single, and then I'll introduce you to her." Rick took on the responsibility, his words revealing a deep disrespect for women. If Class C hadn't been completely empty, he'd have been furious upon hearing this.
"Before you go find the girl, can we interrupt you for a moment?" An untimely voice suddenly interrupted.
Rick turned around and saw two short guys standing at the classroom door. The chestnut-haired one was looking at him quietly, while the blue-haired one raised his chin with a look of provocation. "Kid, you were rude at the school gate the other day. Today we are here to teach you a lesson!"
"At the school gate?" Rick was stunned for a moment, then recalled what happened that day. He remembered that the blue-haired boy was a student in the same grade as him but in Class A. He hesitated for a moment, but with so many classmates staring at him, his male pride made it impossible for him to show weakness.
"You're the only one who can do that?" Rick said viciously, "You're not even as tall as my shoulders. Go home and get your milk!"
"You!" Haydn's face changed immediately after being hit in the sore spot. He immediately forgot the plan that Yu Sheng had told him in advance and rolled up his sleeves to beat him up. "Today, I will let you see the fighting power of a sucking milk!"
"..." Yu Sheng grabbed Haydn with a headache, stepped forward, and blocked Haydn's way, fearing that Haydn would rush forward again without thinking. "This 'senior'," Yu Sheng said sarcastically, "Do you dare to accept my challenge?"
As soon as Yu Sheng finished speaking, there was an uproar around him. You know, although Class A was an excellent class, the gap of a whole year was definitely not something that could be made up by good grades. It was like a child trying to fight an adult. No matter how agile the child was, their absolute strength was there, and agility wouldn't help.
Therefore, in the Mousse Military Academy, seniors are not allowed to challenge juniors, but if juniors challenge seniors... then the one who overestimates his own capabilities will have to pay the price.
Rick acted as if he was afraid that Yu Sheng would go back on his word, so he quickly said, "Why would I be afraid of you? Little dwarf, hasn't anyone told you to respect seniors? Let's go and register in the challenge area now!" What a joke. He couldn't beat the blue-haired guy, and a little brat who just entered school dared to jump in front of him?
Rick sneered. He, Rick, would use his strength to prove that he could beat the people in Class A!
Yu Sheng's right hand tightly grasped Haydn's hand, fearing that Haydn would lose control and beat Rick to death. "Okay, let's go now!"
The protagonists left first, and the students in Class C, who were originally busy with their own things, looked at each other and followed them. Passing students saw this strange sight and asked curiously, "What are they going to do?"
"A freshman will challenge the seniors, would you like to watch?"
"Is this really that exciting?"
"The big show of the year! Let's go! We're going too!"
“…”
The fighting students, whose daily lives consisted of nothing but classes and training, were extremely lacking in fun. Upon hearing this, they all decided to join in decisively. Therefore, when Yu Sheng and the other two arrived at the registration office for the challenge zone, they were followed by a large crowd of spectators, shocking even the registration staff.
"Are all these people spectators?" The registration desk teacher glanced at the dense crowd outside and said, "You two, refresh your personal terminals."
The two of them stepped forward one by one and swiped their personal terminals. The registration teacher stared at the three words "first grade" on Yu Sheng's face and frowned. "You can't win! Young man, don't act impulsively."
"Thank you, teacher." Yu Sheng said politely, but his eyes remained firm. "I must challenge him. He was rude and insulted me and my friends."
The registrar sighed. "What a promising freshman in Class A! It would be a shame if he were to be devastated by this failure." There's been a case of a first-year student in Class A challenging a higher-level class and ultimately failing miserably. While the loss wasn't a significant loss, it sent that student into a slump, sending them from Class A all the way down to Class G, never making it back up until graduation.
Sometimes, mentality can really determine a person's future.
Yu Sheng and Rick entered the school's virtual warehouse separately. After getting ready, they opened their eyes and stood on a wide fighting stage. There were layers of audience seats surrounding them, and a huge fluorescent screen floating in the air.
Yusheng and Rick stood face to face. Rick was a full head taller than Yusheng, and his muscular build made Yusheng look particularly small. Rick looked at Yusheng and felt his confidence surge, almost swelling.
Both of them had their class, student ID, and name printed on their heads. The electronic referee stood in the center, and a cold, mechanical electronic sound echoed throughout the huge fighting arena:
"Both combatants, please prepare yourselves. The challenge will officially begin in thirty seconds. Challenger: 4027097411 Reds, Challenged: 4026789821 Rick."
"Preparation time is over, 3, 2, 1, the game begins!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, before the audience could react, they saw the short figure suddenly leap into the air and kick Li Ke hard!
With a "bang", the attack hit the target and Rick fell to the ground with a bang, completely stunned.
The electronic referee's ruthless countdown rang in my ears: "Ten, nine, eight..."
As the countdown was about to end, the audience was filled with deafening screams and cheers, as if mocking the fact that Li Ke was kicked over by a young freshman.
Rick's head was buzzing, and he shouted loudly, and got up at the last moment. Suddenly, the noise from the audience became louder, and the shouts of fighting back resounded throughout the fighting arena. Rick rolled over to avoid Yu Sheng's pursuit, and met Yu Sheng's arrogant and calm gaze. The anger almost burned out Rick's reason.
Invisible white threads spread out from Rick's palm, turned into sharp swords in the air, circled behind Yu Sheng, and were about to pierce Yu Sheng's spine in the next moment.
At that moment, almost all the audience subconsciously held their breath. Haydn, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly stood up and cursed, "Damn! Despicable!"
It's really shameless to use your weaponized mental power to fight with a freshman who has never learned how to concentrate his mental power!
Yu Sheng felt a chill on his back and subconsciously turned sideways, just avoiding the sharp sword that was piercing through the air, but his shoulder cuff was cut and almost scratched Yu Sheng's skin.
Yu Sheng's pupils suddenly shrank. Before he could think about what trick the opponent was using, the subconscious sense of crisis appeared again, this time right above his head!
Yu Sheng lunged forward, only to be met with Rick's iron fist. He had no choice but to fend off Rick's attacks while dodging the invisible sword. The one-sided situation was instantly reversed.
Rick laughed ferociously, "You little dwarf, now you know how powerful I am! Do you dare to fight me?"
"Ball! Concentrate your mental strength on your eyes! Ball!" Haydn was shouting at the top of his lungs in the audience, but the audience was too noisy. The screams and cheers drowned out Haydn's shouting. Haydn was so anxious that he almost jumped from the audience to the fighting stage.
It’s all my fault. I should have guessed that Rick was so despicable. I might as well have done it myself!
Haydn had even thought about how to apologize to Yu Sheng, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a continuous "Wow" from the audience. Then, no one knew who started it, and more and more people excitedly shouted:
"Redus! Redus! Redus!"
Haydn quickly focused his mental power on his eyes and looked at the fighting arena again. He saw that Yu Sheng, who was frequently injured while avoiding invisible attacks, began to emit thin, white strands of mental power from his body.
He learned how to materialize his mental power during the competition. Even if he is not the best in the galaxy, he can definitely be called a genius!
Yu Sheng remained remarkably calm on the fighting stage. Although he couldn't clearly hear the shouts from the audience, he could faintly discern the word "mental power." A sudden enlightenment dawned on Yu Sheng. No wonder he couldn't see. This Rick could actually manipulate mental power to attack! This truly opened the door to a new world for him.
So, how can we see the invisible spiritual power?
Yu Sheng dodged Rick's attack with a backwards flip, but soon, the hair-raising sense of danger crept back. Yu Sheng gritted his teeth. He had already been injured several times by Rick's mental power. If he was accidentally hit in the vitals, he would really lose!
At this critical moment, Yu Sheng's mind flashed. He quickly focused his mental energy into his eyes, and instantly saw a white sword piercing his face. Yu Sheng leaped back with a thud, barely avoiding the attack, but was truly frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
Another attack missed, and Rick became even more furious. At this moment, Rick just wanted to end the battle quickly and make Yu Sheng bow his head and admit defeat in front of him.
Yu Sheng stared at the white threads surrounding Rick. After being shattered by the blow, they now gathered and solidified in mid-air. Yu Sheng's mind suddenly rang with Yun Xiao's words when he was teaching him how to use his mind to control the mecha:
Your mental power is the third hand of your body. You don’t need to use your brain to deliberately manipulate it because it is originally a part of your body.
"It was originally a part of my body..." Yu Sheng murmured.
White threads spread out from Yu Sheng's body. Those who pay attention will find that Yu Sheng's mental power threads are even thicker than Rick, who has been professionally trained for a year to materialize his mental power!
"Oh my god, no way..." Haydn widened his eyes in surprise, and there were endless gasps from the audience.
The short, thin freshman had more and more spiritual power threads in his hands, and a white halberd appeared in Yu Sheng's palm.
Yu Sheng gently closed his palms, and at this moment, he clearly felt the slightly cool, real touch in his hands.
"Holy crap! I've never been able to see someone learn to materialize their mental power, and then weaponize it right away, right in the middle of a fight! It was totally worth it!"
“The school is making good money off the ticket fees!”
"Hey! Look, what weapon did he transform into? Why have I never seen it before..."
"Is it self-created?"
…
Yu Sheng held a halberd in his hand, his gaze fixed on Rick. Rick, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, was actually frightened and took a step back, muttering, "Impossible! This is impossible!"
Yu Sheng raised his chin, his eyes filled with contempt, "Just wait for you to admit defeat!"
The outcome was no doubt about the outcome.
Rick will always remember this most humiliating day in his life. In front of thousands of people watching the fighting arena, he was beaten by a freshman who had just enrolled for one day and whose hair had not even grown fully. He was completely unable to fight back and finally shouted out: I give up!
The internal forum of the Mousse Military Academy also exploded on this day. Everyone was discussing enthusiastically the fighting genius who was newly recruited this year. If it weren't for the school's regulations that prohibit the dissemination of school videos and that violators will be held legally responsible, Yu Sheng would probably have become famous on the Star Network.
Yu Sheng also successfully went from being an unknown freshman to a recognized genius in everyone's mind. Yu Sheng had not yet realized the benefits of this incident, but his troubles were already overwhelming.
"Junior, what do you think of me?" The sexy blue-haired senior girl said to Yu Sheng with a smile, her chest proudly puffed out and her chin in her hand. "Although I'm not in Class A, I'm also an excellent student in Class B. Besides..." The girl winked at Yu Sheng ambiguously and moved her soft breasts closer to him, "I'll teach you what happiness is..."
Are all interstellar people so unrestrained? !
The devastated Yu Sheng blushed and wanted to push the senior away, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to step back, but was pressed step by step.
"Senior sister, I really can't do it. I have to go home!" Yu Sheng raised his voice, hoping that some passerby would be kind enough to help him.
However, passers-by were all laughing and watching the show, and some students were even making a fuss, which was really making things worse.
At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted.
"Please stay away from my boyfriend!"
