Chapter 40 It was a pure kill

1300 Words
Adam was sitting in front of the Realm's entrance and exit, rocking a chair made of ice. With a flip of his wrist, he took out the ring that Diana had given him from his bracelet and pulled out a bottle of soda from it. He blew a cold breath on the bottle, chilled it, and then began to hum a song while enjoying the soda. It was as if he wasn't here to take an exam but was on a beach vacation. Among all the screens, his performance was the most outrageous. Among the judges, the ones most speechless about Adam's behavior were the bald special superhumans who maintained the transformation, stability, and the opening and closing of the Realm's exit. According to the trial's regulations, as long as a student appeared within a hundred meters of the exit, they had to open the Realm's passage to facilitate the students' entry and exit. But Adam was blocking the door, and even though he didn't come out, they had to maintain the passage open according to the rules, which invisibly added to their mental workload. The superhuman known as "Richard" was already a bit annoyed. "Can you block the door a little further away? If you block it beyond a hundred meters, I can save some effort!" Of course, Adam couldn't hear this complaint and was still rocking his chair at the Realm's entrance as if he had fallen asleep. Several more hours passed, and the contrast between Adam and the other students created a great sense of disconnect, as if they were in two different worlds. Finally, Adam's movements changed slightly; the figure that was gently rocking the chair as if asleep suddenly stopped. As if sensing something, he opened his eyes. At this time, the ground around his chair was littered with all the "energy cores" he had hunted during this trial, as well as a soda bottle. These were the "bait" he had left here. And at this moment, he felt a bit of vibration, and since he had replicated Thomas's Stealth, he was also very sensitive to other people's sneaky actions. After sensing it a bit, he didn't say a word, raised his hand, and threw out an Energy Chain. The sound of the chain breaking the wind rang out, and the air in the distance twisted, revealing an invisible person who was directly tied up. Adam's move was without any warning or delay, causing the other party not to have time to resist. A long howl came from the other party's mouth, and a bright light shone on his body, pulling hard on the chain, intending to pull Adam up. Adam frowned, and his body changed from lying to sitting, the Energy Chain tightened, and the two were thus struggling. But Adam just sat there, pulling the chain with one hand, not giving the other party any advantage, and the soil under his feet cracked, slowly moving towards Adam's direction. The next moment, a figure wearing black armor burst out of the ground, accelerated twice, and came to another figure like a flash, slashing hard and directly cutting Adam's Energy Chain. "You go out first!" the figure in black armor shouted in his companion's ear, then without any hesitation, he rushed towards Adam like a cannonball. Adam saw the other party's posture, raised his eyebrows, stood up from his seat, and raised his hand to strike. Boom! The palm of his hand hit the chest of the black armor, and a cold shock wave surged, instantly making the black figure fly back at a speed faster than when he came! During the flight back, the cold air slowly enveloped his whole body, and his body was covered with thick ice. After falling to the ground, he became an ice sculpture and was temporarily still. Then Adam threw out another chain, this time with Absolute Freezing cold air attached to the front of the chain, tying up another person and freezing him instantly. It was a pure kill! Adam, after such a long rest, plus the sugar supplement from the soda, was in very good condition, and he was a unique combat force in this Realm. He gently pulled the two people in front of him with the chain and only then realized that they were a man and a woman. He couldn't help but curl his lips. In this Realm, it was probably only that damn love that could make one person say "you go out first" so selflessly. He removed the ice from their heads and looked at the two people's horrified gazes as if looking at a monster, showing a friendly smile. "Hi, how are you?" "Let's discuss something, shall we?" "Give me all the energy cores on you, okay?" The two individuals lying on the ground fell into a collective silence at the sound of Adam's voice. They knew Adam was there for robbery, but this kind of opening remark was something they had not anticipated. Robbery? Is there room for negotiation? The student clad in menacing black armor was subtly exerting force, thinking about trying to break free from Adam's icy bonds, while also stalling with words: "Negotiation? What if we say we won't give it up?" "Of course, that's also an option, but in that case, I'll just take your energy cores by force," Adam said. The man in black armor was dumbfounded, speechless as he looked at the composed face in front of him, unsure of the mindset that led to such a statement. He said helplessly: "What's the difference?" "There's definitely a difference," Adam replied, "One is me forcing you, the other is you volunteering, which should save you some face, I suppose." The man in black armor was at a loss for words; this overwhelmingly strong madman seemed to have a thought process that was hard to keep up with. "Alright, brother, stop struggling, I know what you're up to," Adam had already seen the man's subtle movements and stomped his foot forcefully, causing the ice layer on the man to thicken. This stomp completely pinned the man down, ceasing his struggles. At that moment, he also noticed the considerable number of "energy cores" under Adam's lounge chair, and couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth. These were all taken from others? The sheer number suggested he had definitely hit a tough opponent. Just carelessly thrown on the ground. "Why not acquire energy cores yourself instead of resorting to this method?" The girl, who had been bound in chains and silent until then, looked up at Adam. "You have so many here; you must have robbed quite a few people." "Watching others fight coldly and then snatching the fruits of their battles this way is despicable!" The girl glared at Adam with indignation, and it had to be said that daring to provoke him while being bound was quite brave. But to everyone's surprise, Adam showed no anger at all, instead nodding in agreement. "Yes, you think so too? I find it pretty despicable as well." The girl: ??? Adam continued: "These energy cores are what I've hunted myself; you two are my first targets for looting, and I should have had more actually." "You hunted them by yourself?" The girl was astonished, "Then how could you..." "Alright, Louise, stop, it's within the rules," the man in black armor stopped her from arguing with Adam further and then began to bargain with Adam: "Bro, we admit defeat, we're outmatched." "But taking all of our energy cores, that's not quite right, is it? Our energy cores were obtained through teamwork, hunting the monsters inside here, without robbing anyone else." "We wanted to leave early precisely to avoid conflicts and not get involved in these fights."
