Chapitre 13: The Current State of Humanity
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
In the teachers' room in the courtyard…
Wang Yu frowned and said, "Elder Tang, Mo Xiu is indeed a little strange."
Elder Tang, who was lying on the bed, immediately sat up when he heard this.
"Tell me, tell me!"
"In class this morning, when I used my X-Ray Vision to observe Mo Xiu, I discovered that his skill type was actually more of a detection-type skill. However, when he fought with Wang Lei in the afternoon, I could clearly see that when Mo Xiu used his skill, he was more of a warrior for a moment before returning to a detection-type skill."
Elder Tang stroked his beard as he lowered his head and said, "Interesting, interesting. Back in school, when I saw that he was familiar with the Demonic Eagle's weakness, I knew that he wasn't simple. He might have two skills."
Wang Yu added, "But this doesn't mean anything. My X-Ray Vision isn't that accurate when determining the type of a skill. When I look at Wang Lei, there are times when his skill seems like an assassin-type skill."
Old Tang nodded and said, "It's okay. Five it a try tomorrow. You can say this tomorrow…"
The next morning.
"Today, I want to talk about the current state of humanity."
"You might want to ask, do we still need to talk about the current state of humanity? It's like this now, because your generation hasn't come into contact with the previous world."
"This continent used to be Asia. During the war, the three superpowers formed an alliance, which is the current Human Alliance."
"After the war, humans and wild beasts signed a contract to be exempted from war. Humans live in the central area of the continent, while wild beasts live on the periphery."
"The high-tech weapons used by humans have basically disappeared. The reason for their disappearance is that they have limited killing power against wild beasts, but they are very harmful to humans. Thus, they were sealed to prevent civil war from happening."
Liu Ziyang asked, "Teacher, I heard that we humans used to have a weapon called a nuclear bomb that could render an island lifeless. Is it useless against wild beasts?"
"It works, but it does more harm than good. In the early days of the war, humans used nuclear bombs. However, damage would only be caused at the center of the explosion. Meanwhile, the radiation generated by the explosion would cause the beasts to evolve a second time."
"There's another reason, and that is riot. After the war, there were a lot of riots. In order to quell the riots, all weapons were banned."
Mo Xiu asked, "Teacher, humans have better inland resources compared to the beasts. Why didn't we expand outwards all these years?"
Wang Yu replied, "Humans have abundant resources, but we are essentially sealed off."
"You may not know this, but there are a total of five continents on Earth. Before the war, the five continents were interconnected. But now, humans have not been able to leave the territory of the Alliance."
"There's another reason why I said that we have been sealed off. It's because there's no news. You might ask, everyone has a cell phone now, and there is also a lot of news on the Internet. Why is there no news?"
"This is because the news from the other four continents has been cut off. Thus, we have no way of knowing what is happening outside the territory of the Alliance. We don't even know if the other continents still exist."
Mo Xiu frowned and asked, "Teacher, can our cell phone signals be blocked? Also, I read that the aerospace industry was developing well before the war. Humans have many artificial satellites too. Can't we know what's happening outside?"
Wang Yu smiled bitterly and said, "The strongest people on this planet are not humans or beasts, but the terrifying Sea Race."
Mo Xiu was familiar with the Sea Race. According to the textbooks, the origin of all the meteorites was in the hands of the Sea Race.
"A large part of the reason the beasts reconciled with us was because the Sea Race was too dangerous."
"Do you know how big the Pacific Ocean is?"
The four of them shook their heads.
"The Pacific Ocean occupies a third of the Earth. Furthermore, before the war, humans only explored less than five percent of the Pacific Ocean. At that point, we didn't know what kind of horrible creatures existed in the deep sea. Now, we're even more afraid to imagine how terrifying those deep-sea creatures would become after being exposed to radiation."
"The Sea Race destroyed our artificial satellites and blocked our communication signals with their ultrasonic waves. This is the tyrannical method of the Sea Race."
"Students, don't be deceived by the peace you see in front of you. This is the result of the hard work of our predecessors. Peace will not last forever. This world is too big, so big that we cannot imagine it."
Mo Xiu admired Wang Yu from the bottom of his heart. Every lesson provided him with a new understanding of the world.
If his explanation of skills over the past two days could improve Mo Xiu's understanding, then his explanation of the human situation today widened Mo Xiu's horizons.
There was very little to talk about today. There was only a bit of content, but there were many questions. The four of them kept asking Wang Yu to explain what the world was like.
Mo Xiu looked towards Mu Qingyi. Yesterday, he had told this woman that he wanted to change the world. Was he too naive?
It was unknown when Mu Qingyi had looked towards Mo Xiu as well. The corners of her lips curled up into a sweet smile.
How wonderful was that? At this moment, Mo Xiu actually felt that it wasn't impossible to change the world. This was for the sake of his family and friends, so that they could live a stable life, and for the sake of maintaining such a beautiful life.
…
In the afternoon, in the courtyard.
Wang Lei and Wang Yu took out two chairs and sat on them.
Wang Yu said, "In the future, I will watch the battles every day. I will explain to you the rules of today's individual battle."
"You will split into two groups. Wang Lei will choose your groups for the individual battle. There is only one condition to decide victory — when either side loses consciousness or admits defeat."
The corners of Mo Xiu's mouth twitched. Wasn't this rule too simple and crude? There were no restrictions, and the conditions for victory were so cruel.
Wang Lei looked at the four of them and said, "Next is the grouping. The first group will be Liu Ziyang against Yue Yuan, and the second group will be Mo Xiu against Mu Qingyi."
Mo Xiu frowned. After making the calculations last night, he obtained the results. Mu Qingyi was the hardest to deal with.
Mu Qingyi's attack power was insufficient, but that was when she was attacking Wang Lei. If she were to fight against Mo Xiu and the other two, the power of her flying daggers would not be small.
Coupled with her ever-changing Spatial Folding technique, she was definitely the most difficult to deal with among them.
"First group, get ready!"
Mo Xiu and Mu Qingyi retreated to the side to watch the battle. Then, Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan entered the arena, and the two pulled away from each other.
"Get ready… Begin!"
An array appeared beneath Yue Yuan's feet. The yellow color meant that it was an earth array. Yue Yuan first increased his own defense.
Liu Ziyang said to Wang Lei and Wang Yu unhappily, "Teachers, he cheated. He released his skills before the competition started."
Yue Yuan's skill would automatically activate two seconds after it was used. Everyone knew this. The fact that he had enhanced his attributes right after the start of the battle meant that Yue Yuan had released his skill in advance.
Wang Yu shrugged and said, "Didn't you hear my rules? There are no restrictions. It doesn't matter even if he dug a trap last night."
Liu Ziyang looked at the two teachers with his mouth agape. Yue Yuan would not let go of this opportunity. While Liu Ziyang's attention was not on him, he ran over and started a melee battle.
Liu Ziyang saw that Yue Yuan not only acted shamelessly but also launched a sneak attack. He gritted his teeth in anger and dodged Yue Yuan's attack.
Mo Xiu had never understood how Liu Ziyang, who was so fat, had the physique of an assassin.
Furthermore, judging from the usual battles, he wasn't slow either. He might even be faster than Mo Xiu, when Mo Xiu did not activate his skills.
Melee combat wasn't their forte, but Liu Ziyang still had the advantage of speed.
He struck Yue Yuan many times. However, with the support of the array, Yue Yuan did not suffer any serious injuries.
Neither of them wanted to use their skills first. They both knew that whoever used their skills first would lose.
Just like that, this battle became a protracted battle…
