Chapter 44

After all.

This fool is very proud, only wants to rely on himself, and even if he suffers injustice, he won't use his family's connections, so it doesn't matter how Lei Kesi plays with him.

School's out.

In front of a mysterious stall outside Bali High School.

"Hey."

"What are you talking about?"

"You seem really excited?"

Wang Da Dong walked over from afar; in front of the stall, Wang Yase and Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu were already seated.

Wang Yase glanced at Wang Da Dong, then at Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu and said: "Ding Ding Xiaoyu, you tell them, okay?"

Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu: "Are you sure?"

Wang Yase: "Just tell them."

Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked at Wang Da Dong, then spoke: "Wang Yase suspects Lei Kesi is KO. 2."

Wang Yase: "..."

Wang Yase felt somewhat helpless.

He hadn't expected it.

That Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu would be so direct.

But this was his own guess: last night, he was inexplicably punched, and this morning, when Wang Da Dong's good friend Lei Kesi returned to class, Wang Yase felt something was off about Lei Kesi—his aura felt familiar.

Add to that, Jin Bao San mentioned today that Lei Kesi seemed to be involved in an incident at the Black Cat Hotel, and this mysterious stall owner, Duan Duan Changren, also seemed to pay special attention to Lei Kesi.

So.

Wang Yase speculated.

This Lei Kesi...

Very likely, is the legendary KO. 2!

"That's impossible!"

Wang Da Dong laughed.

"Come on, saying Lei Kesi was involved in an incident at the Black Cat Hotel is one thing, but now you're saying he's KO. 2? Did he turn into an alien just because he spent a summer away?"

Wang Da Dong didn't believe it at all.

"..."

Wang Yase felt somewhat helpless.

"Yase, you must be mistaken."

Wang Da Dong said to Wang Yase.

But at this moment,

"No."

"That's not important."

From behind the stall, a middle-aged man in a pink robe spoke mysteriously: "What matters is..."

"No one has ever seen this KO. 2."

"All we know is that he strikes with brutal force, called the bomb of the K. O. leaderboard, a dangerous figure in the School Realm."

His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the three, his gaze laden with meaning:

"You three, all named on the list—be careful."

Saying this,

He turned around, his voice pausing briefly.

"There's a legend..."

"I wonder if you've heard it."

As Duan Duan Changren cooked, he glanced back slightly; the setting sun lit his face, making him appear even more mysterious.

"On the K. O. leaderboard, anyone whose combat index breaks ten thousand..."

"Can control their combat index, and even when facing enemies, they can hide themselves, just like..."

"Ordinary people."

One sentence.

In an instant.

Wang Da Dong, Wang Yase, and Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu all froze slightly.

The three exchanged a quick glance.

In their minds,

A single name suddenly surfaced.

All three spoke at once:

"Lin..."

"Yu?"

【031】 Chapter of events, his name may not exist【Fourth chapter】

In the three's minds,

Lei Kesi's name did not appear.

But then it appeared…

Lin Yu's name.

Previously, they had speculated, and were curious about Lin Yu's combat index and identity, yet had no answers—but today, Duan Duan Changren's words instantly led them to connect the dots…

Lin Yu!

This mysterious entity, who had never unleashed his combat index against enemies, had fought alongside them twice, yet not a single thread of his combat index had ever been sensed.

"So…"

"Lin Yu's combat index…"

"Could it be over ten thousand points?"

Wang Da Dong was deeply shocked and stunned.

"Lin…"

"Yu?"

The mysterious, inscrutable Duan Duan Changren now looked bewildered.

His original intent had been to say…

Lei Kesi.

He, the enigmatic one who knew countless pieces of information and intelligence, was fully aware of Lei Kesi's hidden KO. 2 identity, and had merely been warning the three.

But.

The name spoken by the three made him pause slightly.

"Who is Lin Yu?" Duan Duan Changren asked, confused.

"He's a formidable figure at our school."

Wang Da Dong said.

"He's incredibly skilled—he can take on a hundred at once."

"And the strangest thing is…"

"I once accidentally sparred with him; his strength was terrifyingly immense—I, with 9,000 combat index points, was injured by him."

"Yet strangely, when I fought alongside Yase twice, he never unleashed even a trace of his combat index."

"If what you said, Duan Duan Changren, is true, then…"

Ding Ding Ding Xiaoyu picked up the thread: "His combat index might be over ten thousand points."

"…"

"…"
