However, Diana's expression at this time showed no complacency, not even happiness, just sitting there with her jade-like hand supporting her fragrant cheek, quietly looking up. There was no change in expression, no comment, just staring intently, as if engrossed in watching an attractive movie. It was as if to say - This is what should be, I already knew Adam had such strength, I just look forward to his next performance. "Cough! Cough cough!" Just as Sissi was seething with anger, a sudden violent coughing fit sounded, and Henry suddenly sat up from the ground. He looked around blankly, as if he had lost his memory. After a while, he finally remembered what had just happened, shook his limbs vigorously, feeling his body finally back under his control, and quickly stood up. The judges also noticed him, turning their gazes towards him, Thomas with his signature amiable smile, said: "Kid, are you awake? Are you alright?" "I'm fine, I'm okay!" Henry quickly replied. "President Freud, please give me another chance! We just got in, the trial shouldn't have started yet, right?" "I can still do it, my superpower is strong, I haven't done anything yet." Concerned about his own future, Henry was so panicked that he spoke without thinking, just wanting to be allowed to enter that Realm again. "No, the trial has already begun, you can watch from here or go back and rest." "Your trial is over." Thomas said with a light smile, his voice not stern, but from the bottom of his heart, it gave a feeling of indisputability. Listening to Thomas's voice, Henry's face turned ashen, standing there dazed. Suddenly, as if grasping at a lifeline, he turned sharply to look at Sissi. "Assessor! Senior! You have to help me, let me continue the trial, I just got in!" Sissi glanced at him with disgust, at this point she had no desire to have any association with him, turning her head and saying: "What does it have to do with me, the rules are such, it's your own business." "But no! We agreed before! You told me before the trial that you would..." "Shut up!" Sissi interrupted Henry's words sharply, her eyes narrowing, "What do you want to say?! Your trial is over, it cannot be changed!" She was really afraid, afraid that Henry would say something he shouldn't here. "Quiet everyone, if you want to argue, do it outside!" Norman frowned, turning his head and speaking loudly, stopping the bickering between the two. As a Super Elite with the title Strengthquaker, his title symbolized his character. Even though he didn't know Adam at first, at least he despised the behavior of Henry and Sissi. Eventually, everyone quieted down, Thomas gave a meaningful look to Sissi, and also stopped speaking. In the Realm, Adam looked at Henry who suddenly disappeared in front of him, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The protection mechanism of this Realm was quite sensitive. Looking up, as if speaking to himself or to someone else, he spoke: "Now, can this prove that I didn't cheat before?" After speaking, he looked around and found that everyone was far from him. Not only those who were with Henry and wanted to gang up on Adam, but also the other students around. Adam's opening move successfully established his authority, but to some extent, it also pushed him to the opposite side of everyone. Not many people can guarantee that they can do better than Henry, everyone is worried that they will be eliminated in the same way. So even though Adam showed a strong combat power as soon as he entered, no one wanted to team up with him. When you are much worse than others, they will despise you and not want to have contact with you. When you are much stronger than others, they will be wary of you and unwilling to have contact with you. There is only one way to fit in - you are about the same as most people. This is also why the vice president of another university would have such an evaluation of Adam - lacking in reason! A tree that towers above the forest will always get struck by the wind! In this kind of group hunting trial where points are earned and mutual contention is allowed, standing out too much is probably not a good thing. Cold air surged, and the frost armor had already enveloped his whole body, and the ice staff once again appeared in Adam's hand. Standing in place, looking at the several people in front of him who were also shrouded in light, as if facing a great enemy, Adam was ready for battle. At this moment, he realized what kind of mental change the battle with the Acolytes a few days ago had brought him. Faced with these students who have not experienced life and death, he clearly felt that he was more at ease in the battle. "How about it? Do we start now?" Adam swung the ice staff in his hand a few times and said. The several people obviously decided to team up, looked at each other, but then quickly retreated, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight. The several people decided to back down, deciding not to conflict with Adam at the beginning of the trial. The rest of the people also left one after another, some successfully formed teams, and some decided to go solo. But it was obvious that no one took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Adam. Even the relatively friendly Edward only nodded to Adam from a distance and left alone. —He was confident in his strength and decided to be a loner. Seeing this scene, the vice president from another university frowned slightly and turned to look at the Strengthquaker, Norman. "Norman, it seems you have high hopes for this kid, how about we make a bet?" Norman continued to hold his arms crossed, slowly turning his head to look at the person who was speaking. "Clark, now that you're the vice president of a university, are you still making bets at the drop of a hat?" Both of them were no longer young, but they had been friends back in the day and had maintained a decent relationship. "What do you want to bet on?" Norman asked. "Let's bet on whether the kid's bold claim of taking the first place can be realized. I'm betting it can't!" Clark said. "It's indeed difficult. The most powerful superhuman has never been the best in the trials. Strategy and luck are both crucial," another judge chimed in, agreeing. Norman listened to this bet, frowned slightly, and eventually shook his head. "This bet is inherently unfair to both parties, I won't take it." "Tsk, cheapskate!" Clark Steele shrugged his shoulders and didn't continue the conversation. After all, the uncertainty of being the top was just too high. But just at that moment, a light and agile voice interjected, adding a twist to the bet that was about to be dropped. "Mr. Steele, I'll bet with you." Diana sat in her chair, her head slightly tilted towards Clark. "Ho!? Are you serious? The Ice Queen is willing to make a bet too?" "Yes, I bet he can get the first place in the trial," Diana said firmly. Clark stood up from his chair with interest, propping his hands on the table and looking at Diana with interest. "You have that much confidence in him? What's the stake?" Clark asked. "The stake is up to you, as long as it's within my means and doesn't violate my principles." Clark widened his eyes, staring at Diana in a daze, and after a while, he said: "One hundred and twenty-six people, oh no, now it's one hundred and twenty-five. Why do you think he can definitely come in first among so many?" "Because he said he guarantees it."
