Hand Of God

Chapter 41 Huge gap in strength

"Our ranking this time wouldn't have been high anyway. Do me some favor, we'll give you one energy core as a toll fee."

The man in black armor looked sincere, as if he was bargaining over the price of fruits.

"No can do, if I don't take all of yours, it wouldn't be fair to others," Adam seemed troubled.

"Also, you just mentioned that with the number of your energy cores, your ranking wouldn't be high, right? Well, that's settled then, give them all to me, and I can guarantee your final ranking will be much higher than it is now!"

With that, he said no more, directly flinging the chains to forcibly snatch the bracelets from the two, taking out all the few energy cores inside.

Then, without bothering to store them, he casually tossed these energy cores onto the ground near the lounge chair, mixing them with his own pile.

"Hey! You!" The man was taken aback, not expecting the other party to show no mercy at all, and he was anxious.

But Adam didn't plan to continue talking with them, only releasing them from the freeze and using the chains to fling the two away.

Outside the Realm, the judges witnessed the battle that ended in less than five seconds and clicked their tongues in admiration:

"Huge gap in strength."

"Such a crushing display of strength is rare; the two opponents were actually considered above average among the students."

"Before, just watching him hunt within the Realm didn't seem like much, but now in comparison..."

"I don't think I had this level of strength when I was young."

"You were much weaker than him when you were young!"

From the green gate, a man and a woman stumbled out.

At this moment, they also heard the judges' voices and lowered their heads in shame.

They knew they had probably become foils for the genius.

But to their surprise, no one blamed them; instead, someone began to clap gently.

"Good job, we've seen your performance, and you are both upright kids."

"Would you like to come to our Hawes University? There's a scholarship available."

"Hey, hey, that's against the rules, no recruiting talk at this time."

Hearing the concern in their ears instead of the expected criticism, the girl's eyes welled up with tears.

She bowed to the vice president who had extended the olive branch to them and said:

"Thank you for your appreciation, but our points this time are probably only for last place, we were..."

The vice president of Hawes University waved his hand, stopping her voice.

"We've seen it all, it's nothing to be sad about, not being a match for others, just work harder in the future."

"I ask you, what do you think of that young man's strength?"

Hearing this question, the man in black armor gave a wry smile and said helplessly:

"Very strong! So strong that I feel helpless."

"Is he really a student from our batch?" At this point, he had started to suspect that Adam was a trial personnel sent in.

But the vice president of Hawes University nodded, confirming Adam's student status.

"If you really think he's strong, then you might as well stay and watch."

"You said you think you're last this time?"

"Not necessarily, it's possible that your ranking this time could be tied for second."

"Ah?" Both of the students were stunned, clearly not understanding what he meant.

The vice president smiled and did not explain, but continued to look at Adam's trial screen.

He knew that on it, the most terrifying looting since the establishment of this trial was happening—a single person robbing everyone!

The two individuals looked around and finally noticed that Adam's screen was always placed right in the center and most conspicuous position.

This indicated that, in the eyes of the judges, Adam had consistently been the most favored contender.

At this point, the two still didn't understand why the judge had mentioned the possibility of them ranking second.

However, they didn't leave and found a place to sit, beginning to watch the other participants in the trial together.

Meanwhile, Thomas, who had previously seemed completely disinterested, was now fully engrossed, watching as if he were captivated.

He even ignored Norman's occasional teasing.

He had a feeling that the person he had been waiting for, someone who would break the mold, had finally arrived!

After his first battle, Adam had also stopped resting and was ready for combat at any moment.

Now, the lounge chair beneath him had transformed, with ice condensing and reshaping into a massive throne.

Adam sat there like a medieval general before a battle, with his hands resting on the armrests, calmly awaiting future challengers.

Various crystal-like energy cores were scattered casually on the ground beneath him, and behind him was the green door, giving off an aura of invincibility.

The previous couple was an exception, having left early.

After waiting for over three hours, Adam finally waited for the next person.

The newcomer hadn't expected that after dodging left and right, he would encounter someone blocking the door at the exit.

He was familiar with Adam, having seen him swiftly defeat Henry at the beginning, and realized his own strength might not be sufficient. He immediately tried to become invisible to assess the situation first.

However, Adam wouldn't give him that chance. The chains instantly wrapped around him, and he was pulled towards Adam as if riding the clouds and driving the fog.

"Bro, hey, don't, don't!"

After being effortlessly defeated in an instant, the newcomer immediately wanted to say a few more words, but Adam clearly didn't give him the opportunity.

After all, everyone's superpower was different, and it would be bad if Adam let his guard down and suffered an unexpected defeat.

He forcefully slid off the newcomer's bracelet, taking out all the energy cores. Under the astonished gaze of the newcomer, he threw them all onto the ground, mixing them with the energy cores that were already there.

The entire action was smooth and fluid.

"You!"

Seeing Adam's complete disregard for the energy cores, the newcomer was furious. Everyone was desperate to get their hands on these, yet Adam just tossed them on the ground.

"Don't mind it. I ask you, does this stuff have any practical value?" Adam looked at him, using the chains to fling him towards the green door.

"These things have no meaning; it's the meaning that people give them."

"Don't worry too much about your ranking. I won't take your energy cores."

Before he finished speaking, the newcomer had already disappeared through the green door.

Click.

The sound of footsteps landing rang out, and the newcomer stumbled a bit, now standing in the original trial hall.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar surroundings, he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.

After a brief daze, the newcomer finally accepted reality, and then he had a look of utter despair.

Had he really been eliminated with zero points after struggling for dozens of hours, scheming and fighting with all sorts of people?

"Hey, did he get you too?"

At that moment, a voice suddenly spoke, and he turned around to see a couple sitting there, each holding a drink, looking like spectators enjoying the show.

"Did he get you too?"

"Yes, he did," they replied in unison.

"Aren't you angry or even hateful?"

"What's the use of being angry? We're just outmatched. It's better to sit down and see who the next unlucky one is, and have some fun," the guy in the couple said.

The newcomer: So I'm the unlucky one you're talking about, huh!

So he sat down as well, looking forward to the arrival of the next unlucky one.

As time went on, the arrival of the unlucky ones became faster and faster.
