Chapter 46: Chapter 46: The Robbed Cheer in Unison for the Robber

The two students glanced around and noticed that Liam's screen had always been the largest, positioned prominently at the center. This indicated that Liam had been the most highly regarded among the judges all along.

They still didn't fully understand why they were told they might end up as second place, but they didn't leave. Instead, they found a spot to sit down and began watching the other candidates in the test.

Meanwhile, Cain's previously disinterested demeanor had completely vanished. Now, he was watching intently, almost entranced. Even Dong Wushuang's occasional jests went entirely unnoticed by him.

Cain had a feeling—the person he had long awaited, the one who could break the mold, had arrived!

After Liam's first battle, he no longer rested; instead, he was ready for combat at any moment. The lounge chair beneath him had transformed, with the ice solidifying into a massive throne-like seat. Liam sat there, as if he were an ancient general before a battle, his hands resting on the armrests, quietly waiting for his next challenger.

The ground around him was littered with various crystals, and behind him loomed the ominous green gate, giving off an air of a lone warrior holding off an army.

The couple Liam had encountered earlier was an exception, as they left relatively early. It took over three more hours before Liam encountered the next person. This individual, who had been dodging and sneaking through the secret realm, was shocked to find himself facing a gatekeeper at the exit.

Recognizing Liam from earlier in the test when he had instantly defeated Liu Peng, the student knew he was outmatched and tried to hide. But Liam wasn't about to give him that chance. With a flick of his chain, the student was yanked through the air and deposited directly in front of Liam.

"Brother, let's keep things civil! We might meet again someday... Hey, no, no, no!" The student tried to bargain as he was swiftly subdued, but Liam clearly wasn't in the mood for lengthy discussions.

After all, each superhuman had different abilities, and underestimating someone could lead to unexpected trouble. Liam quickly stripped the wristband off the student's arm, extracted all the Divine Cores, and tossed them onto the ground to join the ever-growing pile.

"You...!" The student was furious, watching Liam's casual handling of the hard-fought spoils that everyone else was desperate for.

"Don't mind it. Let me ask you, does this thing have any real value?" Liam asked as he used his chain to hurl the student toward the green gate.

"These things only have the value people assign to them."

"Don't worry too much about your ranking. I'm not keeping your Divine Cores."

Before Liam could finish speaking, the student's body had already disappeared through the gate.

Thud.

The sound of footsteps echoed as the student stumbled slightly, finding himself back in the original test hall.

Looking around at the slightly unfamiliar surroundings, he felt as if he had just woken from a dream. After a moment of stunned silence, this third "lucky" person finally accepted reality, his face a picture of despair.

He had spent dozens of hours scheming and battling with others, only to be sent back with nothing to show for it?

"Hey, you got robbed too?" a voice called out, snapping him out of his daze. He turned to see the couple from before, each holding a drink, looking like spectators enjoying the show.

"You... got robbed too?"

"Yeah," they replied in unison.

"And you're not angry? Or resentful?" he asked, baffled.

"What's the use of getting angry? We just weren't good enough. Better to sit down and see who the next unlucky one is—it's more fun that way," the male half of the couple said.

The third student: ...

So now I'm the unlucky one, right?

And so, he sat down too, joining them in waiting for the next unfortunate soul.

As time passed, the unlucky ones began to arrive more frequently. With the test nearing its end, everyone was heading toward the exit. However, the scattered superhumans had no chance against Liam. Few could last long against him.

Among them was Lila, who, upon seeing Liam blocking the gate, didn't even bother to fight. She simply tossed all her crystals on the ground and left with a confident stride, leaving behind a bold statement:

"Take them. I'm not strong enough to fight you now, but one day, I will challenge you again!"

At first, only one unlucky soul arrived every hour, but soon, one arrived every few minutes. Liam would rob them clean.

Before long, Liam had forcefully eliminated dozens of candidates! No one had imagined that their participation in this test would end in such an absurd way.

The pile of Divine Cores Liam had collected was already enormous, more than enough to secure his first place in the test. Yet he showed no sign of stopping or leaving, clearly indicating that his goal wasn't just about ranking—he was here to cause chaos!

Seated on his massive ice throne, surrounded by a treasure trove of Divine Cores, Liam resembled a dragon lounging on its hoard, waiting for the next brave soul to come his way.

Meanwhile, the students who had emerged dejectedly began to feel a sense of excitement. After all, with everyone sharing the same fate, their own misfortune didn't seem so bad anymore.

Even more, through the judges' explanations, they began to understand what Liam was aiming for.

This test was based on points, with rankings determining the distribution of rewards. But if Liam successfully robbed everyone, it would mean they all ranked second!

This realization brought joy to those who had once harbored resentment towards Liam for wiping out their hard-earned efforts. They became engrossed in watching Liam's battles, cheering him on like fans at a sporting event.

No one wanted to be trapped by such a restrictive test rule. If not for the ranking system, none of them would have wanted to scheme and fight against each other. If everyone ended up with the same ranking, all tied for second place, who cared about Divine Cores anymore!?

In the test hall, the students cheered and hollered, and the judges didn't stop them. Instead, they smiled in approval.

What should have been a solemn test had turned into a celebration.

In the vast hall, a surreal scene unfolded:

—All the robbed students were cheering in unison for the robber!


Chapter 47: Chapter 47: The Final Battle: 1 vs 38

Click.

The ominous green gate swirled once more, spitting out two more students.

These two were the latest victims Liam had thrown out, their faces reflecting a deep sense of defeat and despair. They were twins, Yan Yao and Yan Lei, who had been doing quite well in the secret realm due to their seamless cooperation and absolute trust in each other.

In the latter half of the test, they had used their coordination to outmaneuver many others, extorting a significant number of Divine Cores. They had thought they would place highly, but to their dismay, they were blackmailed at the very exit!

That gatekeeper, with his ruthless efficiency, didn't leave them a single Core. Unlike them, who at least left something for their victims, this guy took everything, no negotiation!

What a monster!

As they mentally cursed Liam, they were suddenly interrupted by the sound of loud cheers and applause.

"Congratulations, brothers! Congrats on finishing the test."

"Better to finish early and rest up—no point exhausting yourself in there!"

"Well done, you lasted much longer than I did!"

"Come on, sit down and join us in watching his next move."

At first, the twins thought the cheers and applause were directed at them sarcastically. Their faces contorted with anger. But as they listened more carefully, something seemed off. After calming down and recalling the mountain of Divine Cores beneath Liam, they tentatively asked the crowd:

"Did... a lot of you also get robbed by that maniac?"

"A lot? No! All of us got robbed by him!" the crowd replied in unison. By this time, the staff had already set up a buffet, and many of the students were eating and drinking, looking quite relaxed.

Yan Yao and Yan Lei: ???

What does this mean? Has everyone given up? Are they not concerned about their entry scores anymore?

What is going on here? The heads of the various schools are still present!

Puzzled, the twins glanced at the school leaders, only to find them displaying no signs of disapproval—instead, they seemed to be smiling in agreement.

At this point, the recently eliminated students offered some explanations:

"It doesn't matter now. Didn't you realize what that guy's goal is?"

"He's planning to rob everyone. If he succeeds, it'll be a historic first, and we'll all be tied for second place!"

"Don't you want to see how far he can go?"

Yan Yao and Yan Lei: ...

Is this really happening? What kind of logic is this?

After a moment of stunned silence, they quickly joined the others, grabbing food and drink as they settled in to "watch the movie."

"Old Mo, it seems these students are quite dissatisfied with your test rules. Zhong Jing might have a point," Dong Wushuang commented, surprised by the unprecedented scene of joy before him. He leaned over to Cain and whispered.

But to his surprise, Cain, seemingly entranced, kept his eyes glued to the screen, not even turning his head.

"Shh. I need to focus."

"Heh," Dong Wushuang chuckled, shaking his head. It had been a long time since he had seen Cain this interested in a younger generation.

The last time he had seen Cain this captivated was with Sophia...

Thinking of this, Dong Wushuang glanced over at the young woman who had been quiet for a long time. He noticed that she, too, was watching Liam's screen intently, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Dong Wushuang: ...

Alright, this kid definitely has some kind of charm.

...

By now, Liam had already eliminated sixty to seventy students by blocking the exit alone. But as time passed, the activity on the screen grew quiet—there was no longer the steady stream of students being tossed out every few minutes.

In the test hall, the number of screens had decreased significantly, leaving only those who had yet to exit.

The remaining students could be seen on the other screens, and although they weren't far from the exit, none of them were approaching. Instead, their numbers seemed to be growing.

Everyone, including Liam, knew what this meant.

They were gathering.

"He should be able to win, right? After all, he's already knocked out so many of us," one student said, sounding uncertain.

But even as he said it, he wasn't entirely sure. Liam had been defeating them one by one up until now.

"Hmph! So you're starting to believe in fairy tales because you can't do anything yourself? The combined strength of superhumans isn't something one person can match," a slightly mocking voice interjected, drawing the attention of the students.

All eyes turned to Li Qi, who had been clinging to her hopes for over thirty hours, watching Liam's every move day and night.

Seeing that even the students she had initially influenced to target Liam had now started cheering for him, she felt utterly out of place, like a clown sitting there.

With her hopes dashed, this was all she had left to cling to—let Liam fail, just this once! Please!!

But the students, seeing the jealousy twisting Li Qi's face, ignored her. No one cared whether Liam was still ranked as an E-level; that was old news. All they wanted to see now was if Liam could win.

...

In the secret realm.

The last three hours approached, and the sky began to darken, signaling the arrival of the final night in the secret realm.

The world was enveloped in darkness, save for the glimmering points of light from the Divine Cores surrounding Liam's throne.

Liam knew that a large group was gathering in the distance, but he didn't pursue them. He didn't want to risk anyone slipping past him in the chaos.

Finally, as the world turned pitch black, Liam made his move.

Eight chains extended from his body, lifting him into the air where he hovered, suspended. His body was clad in a pale, fearsome ice armor, and above his head, hundreds of ice swords formed, while in his hand, he held an icy staff. At that moment, he appeared to be the final god of the secret realm!

Behind him, towering ice mountains rose, blocking the exit. Liam's voice echoed across the vast, dense night:

"Alright, that's enough. Stop hiding and come out."

"So what's it going to be? Are you all going to come at me together, or do I have to come to you?"

His words, bold and arrogant, hung in the air. Moments later, points of light began to appear in the distance—these were the glows of superhuman powers being activated.

The final batch of students had finished gathering and now marched in unison towards Liam.

No one spoke; the air was thick with tension, so palpable it seemed it could burst at any moment. Both sides stood in silent confrontation.

In this secret realm's final night, a battle of extreme inequality was about to break out!

1 vs 38!
