When the crowd saw Zhang Ye again, they were all dumbfounded.
Why was he carrying a lump of pink gel, and why was there a... Nan inside the gel?!
Holy crap, how did Nan end up in there?
Before they could figure it out, Zhang Ye came running toward the group with Gujiu on his shoulder, looking incredibly excited.
The crowd immediately began casting spells to attack Zhang Ye, but to their surprise, Zhang Ye used Blink to appear right in front of one student. Without a word, he shoved Gujiu right over the person’s head.
Hey, Gujiu expanded slightly, and that person was encased inside Gujiu’s body just like Nan.
Everyone froze.
What is this?
Russian nesting dolls?
That wasn't all. Zhang Ye used Blink three times in a row, taking advantage of their stunned state to shove three more people inside.
“Gujiu!” Gujiu’s two little red-bean-like eyes sparkled with excitement.
Zhang Ye said, “No, you can’t eat them. Just keep them trapped, okay?”
“Gujiu~”
Hearing this, the students’ expressions immediately turned to horror.
This thing can eat people?!
“Ice Crystal Fall!”
“Flame Blade!”
The crowd immediately released magic to attack Zhang Ye, but Zhang Ye was too agile. He blinked rapidly through the hail of magic, and hardly any spells managed to hit him.
Even when faced with wide-area coverage magic, Zhang Ye, who was holding Gujiu, didn't flinch at all.
Gujiu could devour magic. Whenever a spell came his way, he just used Gujiu as a shield.
Invincible!
“Hahaha, you little punks! Watch me trap every single one of you!” Zhang Ye laughed loudly as he charged at the crowd.
The students' faces paled.
Looking at the people who had been trapped, they knew that once they were inside, they would not only be unable to move but wouldn't even be able to release magic to save themselves.
What on earth is this thing?!
Magic was useless against Zhang Ye. Seeing him rushing toward them, the group turned and fled in a panic.
The tables had turned!
Zhang Ye chased them with an excited expression, trapping them one by one. The Gujiu on his head grew larger and larger as more and more people were imprisoned within its body!
“Come on, keep it up! Fire at me!” Zhang Ye laughed as he trapped another person.
The crowd became increasingly terrified.
In just a short while, as many as twenty people had been imprisoned by Gujiu!
They were on the verge of a total wipeout!
This guy is a total menace!
“Quick, scatter and run!” someone shouted, and the crowd immediately dispersed.
Seeing this, Zhang Ye also found it difficult. If they scattered, he wouldn't be able to trap them all.
“Gujiu!” Just then, Gujiu let out a cute cry. The gel on its body rapidly extended, and dozens of gel tentacles shot out toward the students' backs with lightning speed. Once they stuck, they were impossible to break free from. No matter if they were bombarded with magic or slashed with blades, the tentacles remained completely unharmed.
Then the tentacles retracted, and everyone was snapped directly into Gujiu’s body, just like a chameleon catching prey with its tongue.
Zhang Ye was also stunned for a moment before bursting into a loud laugh.
“Great job, Gujiu!”
He hadn't expected Gujiu to have such an ability. As expected of a slime that devours all things!
It’s mind-blowingly strong, isn't it?
“Gujiu~” Gujiu cried out proudly.
By now, Gujiu’s diameter had reached several meters, with forty-four people imprisoned inside its body.
Except for Lina and her group, the entire Rainbow Class had been wiped out!
Carrying Gujiu over to Leona, Zhang Ye leaned against the swollen Gujiu. His own ego was also inflated as he tilted his chin at Leona. “How’s that?”
Leona finally couldn't help herself and burst out laughing.
“Not bad, little Ye!” Leona ruffled Zhang Ye’s hair and smiled. “Alright, let them out.”
“Sure thing. Gujiu, spit them out,” Zhang Ye said.
Gujiu immediately spat everyone out with a series of popping sounds.
A group of people climbed up, looking pathetic and covered in dust, and the way they looked at Zhang Ye had completely changed.
After this battle, everyone had witnessed Zhang Ye’s strength.
That near-seamless instant-cast magic—and the fact that he could instant-cast dozens at a time—each spell possessed power far exceeding those of the same tier. Even more terrifying was his contracted beast.
Usually, it looked soft and cute, as if it had no lethality, but once it started fighting, that magic and physical immunity, combined with the power to imprison people, was terrifying.
Once trapped, it was game over.
And from the looks of it, as long as Zhang Ye wanted, he could have Gujiu digest these people directly. By then, they probably wouldn't even be able to let out a scream.
This time, no one was dissatisfied.
Even without Gujiu, Zhang Ye could have kited everyone like dogs. Even Nan was no match for him; his strength had long been proven.
“With Little Ye as Class Monitor, does anyone still object?” Leona asked.
The crowd kept their heads down and remained silent.
Zhang Ye was strong enough; they had no objection to him being the Class Monitor.
It was just that... this guy had just disgusted them to the core.
The leopard-eared girl still had tears hanging from the corners of her eyes.
So, the group really didn't want to admit it.
“Little Ye, you pick a Vice Monitor,” Leona said.
Zhang Ye nodded and immediately turned his gaze toward Nan. “A-Nan, you’re the strongest besides me, so it’s you!”
Nan was startled and immediately tried to refuse. “I don't—”
However, before he could finish, he heard Leona say, “Class Monitor Zhang Ye, Vice Monitor Nan. It’s settled.”
Nan: “...”
Wait, I haven't agreed yet!
But seeing Leona’s forceful attitude and remembering his recent embarrassment, Nan ultimately felt too ashamed to speak up and refuse.
And so, the matter was settled.
“Good. Now, everyone familiarize yourselves with the environment. We’ll gather in half a Silverglass to begin the first lesson.” A wild smile appeared on Leona’s face, one that Zhang Ye found very familiar. He immediately asked, “Is it practical combat?”
Leona smiled. “That’s right.”
As expected!
Big Nana had always believed that practical combat was the fastest way to become stronger!
Hearing this, everyone swallowed hard.
Practical combat in the very first lesson?
Wasn't that a bit too hardcore?
Aren't we supposed to have half a month of theory lessons first, learning magic before gradually starting practical combat lessons?
However, they were all geniuses from various factions and usually had practical combat training, so after a brief moment of shock, they were filled with anticipation.
Since the entrance exam didn't involve duels, they were also looking forward to seeing the strength of the other students in the class.
Of course, no one was looking forward to facing Zhang Ye.
This guy had just kited everyone; they really didn't want to go up against this Great Demon King again.
Facing him would definitely not end well!
However, what they didn't know was that this practical combat was not like other practical combat.
“Dismissed,” Leona said.
Zhang Ye immediately ran up to Leona and grinned. “Big Nana, what are we doing next? Do you want me to do practical combat with them?”
Leona flicked his forehead and said, “I have my own arrangements for you later. Also, you must call me Mentor when we’re outside.”
“Alright, Mentor Nana.”
“...Forget it, do whatever you want.” Leona rolled her eyes with a charming flair.
Lina and the others also ran over.
“Brother Ye, you’re so amazing!” Lina said excitedly. “And Gujiu! I didn't expect Gujiu to be so powerful!”
The others also nodded repeatedly; they hadn't expected the cute Gujiu to have such strength.
“Of course. My little angel is super strong, let me tell you. Right, Gujiu?”
“Gujiu~” Gujiu immediately wiggled its body. It was clearly very happy to be praised.
“Let’s go. Let’s familiarize ourselves with the environment first. There must be a reason Mentor Nana wants us to do this,” Zhang Ye said.
Leona, who was nearby, nodded approvingly.
She naturally had a reason for letting the students familiarize themselves with the environment. Later, they might be chased all over the place; how could they manage without knowing the terrain?
Soon, half an hour passed, and everyone gathered. Leona pulled Zhang Ye and Nan out separately.
“Next, you will need to evade the pursuit of Combat Golems for two Goldglasses. Of course, you can also choose to defeat them.” With a wave of Leona’s hand, rows of Combat Golems appeared before the group.
There were a total of one hundred of them!
And every single one had the strength of Tier Nine early stage!
The students' faces changed.
This was equivalent to having to evade the pursuit of one hundred Tier Nine early stage experts!
On average, each person had to face two golems!
It was fine for the Tier Nine students; after all, every student present had the strength to fight above their level to some extent.
But the Tier Seven and Tier Eight students were in trouble. Fighting one might be possible, but the chances of winning against two weren't high. Furthermore, this wasn't an even distribution; it was very likely that several golems would chase a single student.
If besieged by multiple golems, even Tier Nine students wouldn't necessarily be a match for them!
That wasn't all. Leona added, “Next, I will have your Class Monitor and Vice Monitor set traps in the surrounding area.”
“This will test your familiarity with and sensitivity to the environment.”
“Of course, these traps will only cause you minor trouble and will not endanger your lives.”
“The cat and mouse game begins in half a Silverglass.”
“Any student caught and brought back by the golems will lose their lunch break and participate in extra training.”
“Students who evade the pursuit will receive extra magic crystals as a reward after today’s lesson ends.”
As she spoke, Leona looked at Zhang Ye and Nan again. “You have half a Silverglass to set your traps.”
“You cannot participate in the pursuit. For every person the golems catch at the end, you will be rewarded with one high-grade magic crystal.”
“Also, mind your restraint.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ye and Nan immediately nodded.
“Let’s go, A-Nan!”
“Time to pit—cough, set some traps!”
