Chapter 9: That Kid Is Going to Die Inside

"He's out, someone's out!"

"So fast? It hasn't even been 15 minutes yet, right?"

"Which one of the three S-rank Soul Professions is it? I'm so excited!"

"It has to be Qin Ye from the Second High School, I'm rooting for that kid!"

"I still think it's He Muxue; the Frost Archer has the advantage in freezing damage and range, her odds of winning are high!"

Everyone present cast their gaze toward the Dungeon Teleportation Gate, only to see a lonely figure slowly walk out.

"Looks like he's from the First High School!"

"The First High School? Is it Chen Bo, the second young master of the Chen Family?"

"Eh? It's not the second young master of the Chen Family. It looks like that top-ranked student in the whole grade from the Rocket Class of the First High School!"

"Oh, I know, his name is Zhou Chu! It's said he only bound an F-rank Soul Profession, he even made the headlines."

"To solo with an F-rank profession and manage to last 15 minutes is already very impressive!"

Besides some security staff, there were also some parents of the students at the scene.

Zhou Chu's situation was something almost everyone knew about.

That was why they couldn't help but discuss it with pity.

The homeroom teacher Su Chang ran over in a few steps, and seeing that Zhou Chu was fine, she couldn't help but rejoice repeatedly: "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine."

"Student Zhou Chu, your spirit of daring to try and challenge yourself is truly commendable. Although you didn't succeed, your courage is praiseworthy, and you've already done quite well!"

For this reason, she also continuously gave encouragement for Zhou Chu's actions.

And just at this moment, led by the staff member who was previously in charge of registration, several medical personnel carrying stretchers and other medical supplies rushed over.

When that staff member saw Zhou Chu standing before him safe and sound, he couldn't help but be stunned.

One must know that if one wants to exit halfway through a Copy, besides using a Teleportation Stone, the only other way is to be killed by a monster.

But once killed by a monster, most are teleported out directly in a comatose state.

This student was actually fine?

How could that be?

Zhou Chu had not taken a Teleportation Stone at the time.

The staff member hurriedly walked up and quickly performed an examination on Zhou Chu.

Confirming that Zhou Chu had no abnormalities, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "How did you get out?"

Zhou Chu shrugged: "I came out after killing the monsters."

The staff member didn't believe it and said: "Student, can you not joke? I'm asking seriously."

An F-rank Soul Profession being able to kill all the monsters in the Copy in such a short time.

He wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death!

"I'm not joking."

"Hello, I am his homeroom teacher, is there a problem?"

Seeing the scene before her, Su Chang on the side was also confused.

Everything was fine, so why was even the medical team dispatched?

The staff member hurriedly said: "This teacher, your student didn't take a Teleportation Stone when registering just now. I just wanted to ask how he got out?"

"Eh? No? You mean he didn't take a Teleportation Stone?"

Su Chang was startled and looked at Zhou Chu with surprised eyes.

Just at this moment, a loud broadcast came from the hall—

【Real-time Announcement: Congratulations to Tianhua No. 1 High School candidate "Zhou Chu" for successfully clearing the Normal-level Dungeon. Time taken: 14 minutes and 18 seconds!】

The moment the broadcast sounded, everyone present was shocked.

The first to pass the Normal-level Dungeon was actually not one of those three heaven-favored children who bound S-rank Soul Professions, but a tail-end F-rank Soul Profession.

"Didn't this Zhou Chu only bind the lowest-level Soul Profession? This clearing speed is faster than the others who teamed up?"

"Who's to say it isn't? And he soloed it! Even the three S-ranks couldn't beat his speed!"

"Could it be that he has connections in the Education Department and they helped him cheat!"

"Impossible, look, he's already level 3!"

Everyone looked up at the big screen in front, and saw that behind Zhou Chu's name, there was clearly a LV3 label.

As everyone knows, the total experience produced in a Normal-level Dungeon is only 500 points.

If it's a team, each person can level up at most once.

If soloing, it's two levels.

Therefore, no matter how much people didn't want to believe it, the fact was already placed before their eyes.

Not only could this clearing result not be obtained through the back door, but levels are something that ultimately cannot be faked.

"My god, a dark horse, a massive dark horse!"

"I heard that when this kid bound his Soul Profession, it even triggered a Soul Profession phenomenon; he looks weak but is actually very strong!"

"An F-rank Hidden Soul Profession, stronger than an S-rank? Who would believe that if you told them?"

"Indeed, didn't you just see it today."

Su Chang slowly pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, stared at the big screen for a long time, her heart full of doubts.

"An F-rank Hidden Soul Profession, can it really be this strong?"

At this moment, the principals of the three major schools sitting in the observation area finally couldn't sit still.

The three looked at the results on the big screen in front, and every one of their faces was full of bewilderment.

The first to pass the Dungeon was actually not one of the three who bound S-rank Soul Professions.

It was Zhou Chu, who had bound an F-rank Soul Profession, who did the opposite!

This situation was not only unexpected for Luo Dachun and He Laijin, but it also caught Su Zhanghe off guard.

Su Zhanghe rubbed his hands in excitement and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I knew this kid wouldn't let me down!"

Although Zhou Chu only awakened the lowest quality Soul Profession, he reached a height that even high-quality Soul Professions could not reach.

To be precise, Zhou Chu truly gave Su Zhanghe a huge surprise.

He was seen beaming as he said to the principal of No. 3 High School, He Laijin: "Old He, I'm afraid the candidate for your He Family son-in-law will have to be changed!"

Before He Laijin could speak, Luo Dachun, who was standing to the side, snorted coldly and said: "Principal Su is getting happy too early. It's just a mere Normal-level Copy; it's not something that requires much effort to pass."

"Zhou Chu being the first to clear it is just luck. An F-rank Hidden Soul Profession is an F-rank in the end; clearing a Normal-level one is already his limit!"

"Furthermore, Principal He said that only the one who takes the top spot in the joint exam can become the He Family's son-in-law."

"Who is stronger and who is weaker must be proven in the Expert-level Copy; this Zhou Chu has no chance at all."

"Don't you agree, Principal He?"

He Laijin nodded, gave two dry laughs, and said: "Yes, yes, Old Luo is right. Old Su, you are just too impatient. Besides, choosing a son-in-law cannot be done casually; one must pick the best one, right?"

Su Zhanghe felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head by Luo Dachun, and his agitated mood finally calmed down.

That's right, Zhou Chu is ultimately just an F-rank Soul Profession, and the gap between him and others is like heaven and earth.

Even if he could be the first to clear a Normal-level Copy, it actually proves nothing, and it is even more impossible for him to be stronger than an S-rank.

With his current strength, even if he entered a higher difficulty Expert-level Copy, he would definitely not be able to last long.

On the contrary, there might even be a danger to his life.

Moreover, Zhou Chu would absolutely not go to challenge a higher difficulty Copy again.

Being able to obtain the qualification for the College Entrance Exam was already a great stroke of luck for him.

Yet at this moment, Zhou Chu did not take this result to heart.

The difficulty of the Normal-level Copy is indeed too low; there is nothing to brag about.

In order to earn more Soul Fragments, he must hurry and challenge a higher difficulty one.

At this time, next to the Normal-level Copy Teleportation Gate, another red Teleportation Gate appeared.

"Teacher Su, it's still early, I'm going to the Expert-level Copy to grind for a while!" Zhou Chu said to Su Chang beside him, then turned and walked toward the Teleportation Gate.

Upon hearing this, Su Chang hurriedly grabbed Zhou Chu's arm: "Student Zhou Chu, calm down! Impulsiveness is the devil! Don't let one victory go to your head!"

"I know you are a competitive child, but since you have already obtained the qualification for the College Entrance Exam, there is no need to push yourself so hard!"

"The Expert-level is not something you can touch; if there is any mishap, you will lose your life!"

Zhou Chu only gave a faint smile and said: "Teacher Su, don't worry, I will definitely be fine. Trust me!"

"Actually..." Zhou Chu touched his nose and whispered to Su Chang, "Actually, my Soul Profession is God-level!"

Zhou Chu patted his chest, gave Su Chang a victory sign, and turned to walk toward the Teleportation Gate.

Seeing the calm and breezy smile on Zhou Chu's face, Su Chang was suddenly stunned.

God-level?

Are you kidding me?

Could it be that clearing a Normal Copy suddenly made this child's brain break?

【Real-time Announcement: Tianhua No. 1 High School examinee "Zhou Chu" has entered the Elite-level Copy — Catastrophe Town. Let us wish him a successful start and a triumphant return!】

The loud announcement sound directly startled Su Chang out of her thoughts.

By the time she came to her senses and wanted to stop him, it was already too late.

"Trust you? I'll trust your head!"

"Still God-level? You aren't still living in a fairy tale, are you!"

"That is an Expert-level Copy, you brat, don't you want your life anymore!"

Su Chang's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

And behind her, that staff member was anxiously beating his chest and stomping his feet, wailing continuously: "It's over, it's over, this kid didn't take a Teleportation Stone again, this is a disaster!"

"Quick, hurry and notify the Emergency Team to come over, if we are any later, that kid will die inside!"
