How did that piece of trash make it into the top eleven?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It must be admitted that Li Mu did inherit some talent from his father,” Second Uncle said blandly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth Aunt, however, curled her lip in disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bah! Weren’t his parents both useless pieces of trash too? What talent could they possibly have? If you ask me, it’s just dog luck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I still haven’t settled accounts with him for that slap he gave Xiaohong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When he comes out, I’m going to make him kneel in front of Xiaohong and pay it back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of that slap, Li Xiaohong unconsciously clenched her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Li Mu had framed her, Sun Long’s attitude toward her had completely changed. He mocked her coldly and barely paid her any attention anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this opening battle in the Abyss, Sun Long had not dared participate, claiming serious injuries. She had originally wanted to stay by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sun Long had told her to get lost, leaving her feeling as though her heart were being cut by knives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to Li Mu’s sudden rise, Li Xiaohao’s parents were obviously more concerned about their own son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaohao’s team had also appeared on the giant screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were ranked ninth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Xiaohao’s performance, let alone compared to the other two S-grade prodigies, did not even look as strong as the other four people on his own team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And anyone with eyes could tell that Li Xiaohao’s combat experience was truly terrible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was simply relying on the overwhelming offensive power of his S-grade talent to heavily injure monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most of the opportunities for him to deal damage were created by his other four teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those four worked together flawlessly, with both offense and defense covered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when they encountered Second Grade monsters, the group could quickly entangle them and do their utmost to pin them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Li Xiaohao would wait for an opening and strike, finishing the monster off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty of it was basically equivalent to four people pinning down a pig so he could slaughter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good! My son is amazing!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second Aunt clapped happily and cried out in delight. Naturally, she could not see through what was really happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she saw was her son looking mighty and heroic, the core of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Second Uncle could not laugh at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a martial artist himself, he could see everything very clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Xiaohao were separated from those teammates and had to face monsters alone, he would be a complete wreck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would probably struggle to defeat even monsters of the same grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked again at the first-place Zhang Zhiwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He too used a spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single man and a single spear, he was basically one-shotting every First Grade monster he encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he ran into Second Grade monsters, he still killed them with ease in just a few exchanges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calm and composed, his goal was clearly the red zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That area was filled with Second Grade monsters, and even Second Grade peak monsters. The challenges there were much greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second floor, the leaders from the two departments were also full of praise for Zhang Zhiwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What an S-grade Golden Lances and Iron Cavalry! It truly deserves its reputation as a top-tier offensive talent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed. Not only is this child talented, but his spear technique is also first-rate. His aptitude runs deep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The one in second place is not bad either. His defensive S-grade talent, Thousand-Tempered Iron, makes him hard as a lump of forged steel!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard this kid is obsessively devoted to tempering his physique. His progress in defensive cultivation arts is astonishingly fast. Truly terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what exactly is going on with that cape-wearing kid in eleventh place?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ever since he got onto the screen, he still hasn’t killed another monster. We can’t tell yet. We’ll have to wait until he makes a move.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu had never gone into the Multimedia Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he did not know that every move he made was already being broadcast live inside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his understanding, at the very least, only those who made it into the top three would receive attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Li Mu opened his watch and checked the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The map on the technology watch had been built up little by little from the regions humanity had already explored in the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area Li Mu was currently in was still a yellow zone, meaning the danger level was average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further ahead was the red zone, where the danger level was high and the weakest monsters were already Second Grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu resolutely advanced toward the red zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among the school leadership, Liang Hai, the dean of discipline who had personally expelled Li Mu, quietly swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been the one to expel Li Mu himself. The principal would definitely come looking for him later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Mu had remained obscure, that would have been one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he had climbed to eleventh place in the East District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Mu went no further than this, Liang Hai could at least barely scrape together an explanation for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Mu had actually entered the red zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant only two possible outcomes awaited him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either he would be killed by a Second Grade monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or he would kill a Second Grade monster, continue climbing the rankings, and reveal even more brilliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Li Mu, you’d better die in the red zone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Hai gritted his teeth and cursed silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the higher Li Mu climbed, and the more attention he attracted, the more uncertain Liang Hai’s own future became!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Li Mu stepped into the red zone, the students of Blackwater High School erupted once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit! The red zone! Daddy Li Mu has entered the red zone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s guts! Damn it, before leaving home today, I never would have imagined Blackwater’s school uniform would show up in the red zone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, go, go! Li Mu, come on!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of hot-blooded youths lay sprawled against the glass outside the Multimedia Hall, roaring themselves hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if the Li Mu in the footage were themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And under the eager gazes of everyone watching, Li Mu finally encountered another monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Abyss, Li Mu was rushing forward when a huge dark shadow suddenly shot out diagonally from ahead, charging straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Abyss, monsters did not waste time making dramatic entrances or giving you a chance to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially not one like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Yellow Rank, Second Grade ferocious beast: the Golden-Hide Centipede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its body was more than ten meters long. Its countless legs were so densely packed that they made one’s scalp crawl just by looking at them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its dark, gleaming armored plates made it extremely difficult to distinguish while it moved through the Abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its four ghostly blue eyes shone with cold light, radiating a terrifying presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instant the Golden-Hide Centipede appeared, Chen Jiaqi cried out in alarm from the audience seats in the Multimedia Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Second Grade monster!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Suying shot to her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first truly powerful monster Li Mu had faced since appearing on the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was a Second Grade monster right away!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching someone else’s team fight a Second Grade monster for ages, with every moment full of danger, was one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her own son face a Second Grade monster was an entirely different feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the very next second, a golden shield floated up in front of Li Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was thick and dense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden-Hide Centipede lunged forward and bit viciously into the golden shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shield blazed with golden light and exploded with a thunderous blast!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The powerful shockwave from the explosion hurled the Golden-Hide Centipede backward, throwing it off balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu charged straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured Iron-Cleaving Form into the Thorn Staff, and the staff body faintly emitted a cyan glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the Golden-Hide Centipede had only just barely regained control of its body and was about to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Freeze!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden-Hide Centipede instantly stiffened in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Mu’s Thorn Staff came crashing down straight toward the centipede’s head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Golden-Hide Centipede was only immobilized for an extremely short moment, on the screen, it looked as though the centipede had merely blanked out for an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while immobilized, a patch of golden radiance suddenly appeared over the Golden-Hide Centipede’s head,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>trying to resist Li Mu’s Thorn Staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason it was called the Golden-Hide Centipede was because it had a unique defensive mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before suffering an attack, a golden radiance could appear over a specific part of its body, greatly strengthening its defensive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even martial artists of the same grade found it extremely difficult to break through its Golden Hide defense without using a finishing move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the overwhelming pressure created by a centipede suddenly rearing up like a human, the Golden-Hide Centipede was a kind of monster that gave martial artists an enormous headache among Second Grade creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in front of a 300-jin Iron-Cleaving Form strike, it was useless!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp shattering sound, Li Mu’s Thorn Staff smashed straight through the golden radiance and sank into the Golden-Hide Centipede’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The centipede’s body folded in half at a grotesque angle, and its head was slammed heavily into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instant kill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the second floor of the Multimedia Hall, in the section reserved for the big shots, the people who had just been chatting and laughing all fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deputy Minister of Education, who had been sitting with one leg crossed over the other, suddenly sat upright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Deputy Minister of Resources sprang to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An occasion like this did not require the ministers of the two major departments to attend in person, so the two deputy ministers were the highest-ranking officials present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Deputy Minister of Resources turned around excitedly, swept his gaze across the assembled principals, and asked in a ringing voice, “Where is the principal of Blackwater High School??”\u003C\u002Fp>",1741,"2026-05-30T10:59:06.454Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","f3e5f4277df6876b4b128f05eff2bbf400de62aa4dede7ea62f06902797e5bc1","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-25","you-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--chapter-23",99,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-stole-my-s-rank-talent-afraid-now-that-i-ve--cover.jpg"]
