Chapter 7: Seduction and Counter-Kill

  Although the assistant coaches all knew it was a coincidence, Hu Shiming's killing of Dianhun still triggered a wave on the battlefield.

  The attributes of the newborn are worlds apart from those of a hero. It's like an ordinary child, bare-handed and empty-fisted, challenging a special forces soldier armed with a submachine gun - it's simply impossible. That's why the assistant coaches on the scene were so moved. The Electric Soul revived in the spring water felt its face burning with shame and embarrassment.

  "I'm an assistant professor, you bastard!"

  "We're already ordinary LV6, yet we were killed by a newbie!"

  "If this gets out, I'll be the laughing stock of the entire freshman class!"

  Can't stand it!

  Dianhun's anger grew with each insult, his inner fire burning brighter. If it were a monthly required course or a unified exam, he wouldn't dare to be reckless. But this entrance test, failure had no punishment, more of a formality, a teaching battle against new students. In this situation, Dianhun couldn't swallow his pride, revived immediately and teleported again to the lower road. He vowed to kill that damned new student ten times over, making him regret his actions for the rest of his life.

  Newborns should just stay quietly by the spring water!

  At this moment, Hu Siming still didn't know that the other party's Electric Soul had become enraged. He controlled the base's animal messenger to purchase a set of scouting guards.

  As a normal-level unit, even if you get gold coins through kill rewards, you can't buy or use hero equipment. Only when you reach the quasi-hero level and upgrade your ordinary equipment slot can you use real hero equipment. Now he can only use some common consumable items like ointment, teleportation scrolls, etc. The scouting guardian that provides vision is one of them.

  Before the battle, the ward of the first watch had disappeared. Now is the blind spot period of Tianhui's field of vision. Supplementing this live, it should be done by Tianhui's auxiliary hero. But now, after Hu Shiming took the kill reward, he took on this task himself.

  This selfless display earned Tianhui a good impression from several of his assistant instructors.

  The Heaven's Fury cultivator who had lost a head was also calm and composed at this moment. Faced with such a newborn, he really didn't have anything to blame.

  Just then, the transmission was completed and the electric soul reappeared under the Nightmare Tower, and then rushed out with a momentum. However, the soldier line exposed his existence, and Hu Shiming did not show up. The electric soul, who did not find the target of revenge, reluctantly retreated after circling around.

  "Is this to take revenge on me?"

  Hu Si Ming wasn't stupid and quickly understood the strange movements of the Electric Soul. In a flash of inspiration, he looked at Tian Nu Fa Shi, who had just synthesized the Secret Method Shoes and was still hiding in the forest of the lower road, and proposed a plan on the battlefield communication channel: "How about I go out and sell it?"

  Tian Nu and the Bounty understood his intentions almost immediately.

  If it weren't for Hu Si Ming's sharp eyes, Tian Nu would have agreed without hesitation. However, with the improved good feelings, Tian Nu felt a bit embarrassed. He kindly reminded: "Assistant teachers are killed by freshmen every year, and there are always a few cases. But without exception, the assistant teachers who were killed became laughing stocks. You made Electric Soul lose face, he must hate you to the bone. At this time, if you try to seduce him, it might backfire and he might really kill you at all costs!"

  A-Wen nodded and advised, "Before making a decision, you must think it through carefully. Tian Nu's big move is still on cooldown, and the previous combo has already emptied Lan's blue bar. Even if we just merged the secret method, it would only be enough for two skills. If Dian Huan makes up his mind to kill you strongly, although we can both kill him, you will likely hang too."

  The two people's words made Hu Siming hesitate for a moment. He asked: "Isn't it said that in the academy's battlefield, death won't deduct from one's lifespan?"

  "It won't actually deduct from your lifespan." Tian Nu explained patiently, "However, the principal decided to impose corresponding punishments after the battle ends in order to prevent students from becoming numb to death and wasting their lives outside of school. That method is like an enhanced version of electric torture, directly affecting the soul, enough to make anyone wish they were dead. The more times you die, the longer the duration and intensity of the punishment will be. If it's ten deaths for a super ghost..."

  It seems he remembered something terrifying, mentioning the Ghost Punishment, Tian Nu's face turned pale.

  It's enough to intimidate the assistant, so the death penalty must be extremely severe. Hu Shiming hesitated for a moment, but after quickly assessing it in his mind, he still decided to let go and do it.

  There are two assistant instructors present, and as long as the distance and timing are well controlled, there is a chance to retreat unscathed. Moreover, the death penalty sounds terrifying, but in fact, it's just being electrocuted once. As long as no life is deducted, and it's not the super-ghost punishment that the assistant instructor emphasized, it should be fine. After all, ordinary deaths don't seem to scare the assistant instructors, who can still get back up and continue fighting after reviving?

  He didn't know that the teaching assistants weren't afraid, but were numb from being electrocuted...

  No matter what, seeing Hu Si Ming make a decision, Tian Nu Fa Shi and the bounty hunter are still preparing to cooperate with the action. The newcomer bears the risk, but they themselves get to collect the heads. Where can you find such a good deal under the sky?

  Ten seconds later, Diāo Huǒ saw Hu Sī Míng at the last line of defense.

  "You actually dare to come out? Let me, Thunder Soul, teach you how to be a grown-up!"

  Ecstatic Electric Soul, with his eyes fixed on the snowy target in front of him, charged forward without hesitation. With his shoes and first-level passive acceleration, he moved at a speed close to 360 points, which was more than 50% faster than Hu Si Ming. Although there were tens of meters between them, Electric Soul quickly caught up in just a few seconds.

  Just two or three meters away from entering the plasma field's damage range!

  To know, Hu Si Ming's maximum blood volume is only 200 points, and his magic resistance is zero. Any spell that hits him can easily cause full damage. The plasma field of Electric Soul, if at the edge distance, the damage is very impressive, with a maximum of up to 370 points!

  Even if the inferior road single electric soul is suppressed to level 4, the 2nd-level plasma field still has a maximum damage of 230 points, enough to instantly kill Hu Si Ming.

  "Haha, I see where you're running off to!"

  Just as he was about to punish this audacious newborn, the Electric Soul couldn't help but sneer, with electric flowers flashing on his body, ready to activate the plasma field at any time.

  At this moment, Tian Nu Fa Shi burst out of the dimly lit tree thicket outside the wild store and launched a shocking shot!

  Up to 40% deceleration effect is extremely surprising.

  Struck by that beam of light, the Electric Soul's body was as if someone had forcefully pulled it back, its speed suddenly slowing down. Now, his movement speed had dropped to just over 210 points, not even surpassing that of Hu Si Ming, an ordinary unit. Originally, the distance from the maximum lethal range of the plasma field was only two or three steps away, but now it was being slowly pulled open again!

  "Heavenly Wrath Monk!"

  Blocked by the opponent's assistant, Dianhun suddenly became furious, wishing he could lift the battlefield restrictions and have a real PK with him. But what made Dianhun even more unwilling to give up was that he had turned around to attack Tian Nu instead. If he couldn't kill this time, the newcomer might become so frightened that he would retreat back to the spring water and never come out again. In that case, he would really have no chance to avenge himself.

  So it must succeed at one stroke!

  With this in mind, Diē Hún ignored Tiān Nù who had been attacking him all along and chased after Hu Sī Míng with all his heart.

  A four-second deceleration finally came to an end.

  Dianhun only felt his body suddenly light, and his previous stumbling gait immediately turned into a swift and agile pace. Far surpassing the speed of rebirth, he caught up with Hu Siming again in just two seconds.

  "Aren't you dead yet?"

  Dianhun was thinking fiercely, the plasma field in his hand almost took shape. But just at this moment, the air in front of him suddenly fluctuated, and a figure appeared out of thin air.

  Bounty Hunter!

  The bounty that had been lurking here for a long time struck out with a decisive blow. The passive skill "Ninjutsu" was triggered, not only dealing a critical hit in red numbers, but also adding a 3-second slow effect. Although the 25% slow effect is not as obvious as the stunning shot, it is enough to make the Electric Soul's movements slower again. Moreover, the bounty that appeared in front of the Electric Soul also blocked him with his own body for a moment.

  This brief moment of blocking seemed insignificant, but it helped Hu Si Ming maintain the distance between the pursuer and the escapee.

  It was just a difference of two or three steps, but the Electric Soul couldn't catch up, and could only watch helplessly as Hu Si Ming sprinted wildly down the tower. This powerlessness made him furious!
