Chapter 116: Chapter 115
Ignoring the fatty, Chen Ye paid no mind to the so-called "genius" threats.
He opened his phone and started browsing the web.
As expected, Shura's alias was once again trending online!
Chen Ye himself was becoming desensitized to this by now...
"Damn, that's awesome! Isn't this Shura's fourth time getting a super-god rating?"
"So impressive, ever since Shura's name appeared, it's always been super-god ratings!"
"Shura is mighty! May he surpass Adam and reign supreme!"
"Ever since I learned how Shura killed a Celestial Dragon and achieved an 'SSS' rating, I've been exhilarated. This guy is phenomenal!"
"Yeah! Ordinary people wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"
"Envious of Shura, I hope he reveals all his strategies!"
"Haha, here comes the moral high ground again? Shura's strategy is already completely public. If you're capable, go ahead and try it yourself!"
"Don't bother the moral high ground dogs; Shura's strategy can only be completed by Shura. How can a dog accomplish it?"
"I heard Shura can go toe-to-toe with an Admiral? That's terrifying!"
"Indeed, it's terrifying. Shura has only cleared the third layer! How is he this strong?"
"You're exaggerating. Last night, when Shura achieved the super-god rating, I watched the whole thing. Shura only exchanged two moves with the old blind man. Judging by their performance, Shura is still quite a bit away from Admiral-level strength! However, it doesn't stop me from idolizing him!"
"No matter what, achieving this level at the third layer is terrifying!"
"That's true. With Shura's talent, give him some time, and he'll easily surpass Adam!"
"I bet those foreigners must be panicking seeing Shura rise like this?"
"Adam: Damn, I'm really scared now!"
...
The internet was abuzz!
This was the first time an 'SSS' strategy was made public!
Now, countless netizens knew how Shura earned his 'SSS' rating.
Everyone admired Shura's performance in the third-layer 'One Piece' instance.
Daring, decisive, meticulous, powerful, courageous, and intelligent!
That was the impression Shura left on countless netizens!
In short, two words:
Impressive!!
Seeing the netizens' comments, Chen Ye just smiled slightly.
From behind, he heard Fatty Jiang Tao's voice again:
"Old Chen, you don't seem worried at all! Haha, that Zhang Tao, I've disliked him for a long time... Old Chen, make sure he makes a fool of himself today, preferably so badly that he embarrasses his grandma!"
Chen Ye replied exasperatedly, "I'm not interested in your childish jealousy!"
"Yo! As if you're not a youngster yourself?"
"..."
It was class time.
However, with the college entrance exams approaching, teachers no longer intervened, leaving students to their own devices for review.
For instance, the teacher hadn't even arrived yet.
Many uninterested students were chatting away.
Among them.
Many students frequently glanced at Chen Ye with schadenfreude.
Apparently, Zhang Tao's threats had spread throughout the school.
...
An uneventful day passed.
When the afternoon dismissal bell rang, those who usually bolted faster than rabbits surprisingly lingered today.
They were all watching Chen Ye, waiting to see his reaction.
Chen Ye ignored their stares, leisurely packed his things, locked his untouched books in his desk, and slowly walked out of the classroom toward the school gate!
As soon as he left, the slackers followed.
But they kept their distance to avoid being seen as associates and getting implicated.
"Old Chen, wait for me!"
Jiang Tao suddenly caught up.
Chen Ye asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid of getting involved?"
Jiang Tao chuckled, "Afraid of what? Others might fear Zhang Tao, but I don't!"
By then.
A crowd had already gathered at the school gate, evidently waiting for a show.
Seeing Chen Ye come out, the students became excited, whispering among themselves.
"Damn, this guy is pretty bold!"
"Yeah, I thought he'd sneak out the back! Didn't expect him to use the main gate."
"No wonder the school beauty fancies him. Just for this courage, I have to respect him!"
"Haha, foolish! Zhang Tao's family has a senior official in the Education Bureau. Even the principal won't mess with him. Does this guy really think Zhang Tao won't dare touch him?"
"Exactly, doesn't even understand 'the wise man knows when to retreat,' just blindly showing off. Really, what does the school beauty see in him?"
"Keep your voices down..."
...
The students continued gossiping.
Chen Ye remained indifferent, heading straight for the main gate.
Outside the gate.
A row of sports cars was parked.
A dozen young, spirited guys had been waiting for a while.
Leading them was Zhang Tao, dressed in a small suit, looking so slick and groomed that it was hard to tell his gender at first glance.
That was Zhang Tao!
Seeing Chen Ye, Zhang Tao immediately flicked his cigarette, gesturing for his cronies to surround Chen Ye.
"You must be Chen Ye?"
Zhang Tao craned his neck, looking at the tall Chen Ye, "You've got guts, huh? Dare to ignore me? Didn't I tell you to apologize before the end of school..."
Before Zhang Tao could finish his blabbering, Chen Ye's face turned cold.
His constant swearing angered Chen Ye.
Without waiting for Zhang Tao to finish, Chen Ye shouted:
"Scram!"
The Conqueror's Haki! Activated!
An invisible, powerful aura burst from Chen Ye!
Instantly.
The students watching behind him suddenly felt that the tall senior in their sight exuded an overwhelming kingly aura, extremely powerful.
It was as if a true king had descended!
Many timid ones even felt their legs go weak, with an urge to kneel and worship Chen Ye.
As for Zhang Tao and his group of spirited youngsters, facing the full brunt of the Conqueror's Haki, their reactions were intense!
Many rolled their eyes and fainted.
Even Zhang Tao himself, though he didn't faint, fell to the ground, paralyzed, wetting himself in the process, looking utterly pathetic.
At that moment, he distinctly felt a threat of death!
As if standing before him wasn't a classmate, but an ancient king who could decide his fate with a mere thought!!
