"..." Gu Yi’s face darkened.

’What the hell?’

’Who the hell is singing?!’

It wasn’t just Gu Yi. The bizarrely captivating song drew the eyes of every instructor from Eastern Capital Military Academy, and even the four principals. All of them turned to look out onto the field.

Gao Neng felt the gazes shooting at him from all directions.

He was panicking...

’Looks like I’ve really gone too far this time.’

"Where did this guy come from?" one of the instructors said, speechless.

"To sing at the new student assembly... this guy’s way of thinking is... quite something!" another instructor laughed.

While the instructors were murmuring amongst themselves, the new students were clearly just baffled.

’Did Eastern Capital Military Academy get a professional singer this year?’

’And he’s singing a fucking children’s song?’

’Pulling up radishes...’

’Is there really someone with a death wish here?’

The students all looked at Gao Neng. He was very handsome!

’But the problem is, why does that singing voice sound so familiar?’

"The guy who sang ’Little Leaping Frog’ all night yesterday—that’s him!"

"It’s him?!"

"Holy shit, no wonder the voice sounded familiar! This guy sang ’Little Leaping Frog’ all night yesterday, and now he’s on the training grounds singing ’Pulling Up Radishes’!!!"

"What a legend. Is he really not going to get beaten to death for this?"

The students were angry, shocked, and even a little dumbfounded.

As far as death-courting stunts go, this was a perfect ten.

The four principals’ expressions also darkened. The new student assembly was supposed to be a serious affair, but before they could even begin their speeches, a singer had stolen the spotlight?

"Insolent! Shut your mouth!" Gu Yi, after being stunned for a good ten seconds, finally roared.

"Pulling up radishes, pulling up radishes, heave-ho, heave-ho, pull up the radish... Little kitty, come on over, come help us pull up the radish..." Gao Neng looked at Gu Yi and kept singing.

’Shut up?’

’If I shut up, I’ll have to start over!’

’No way I’m shutting up!’

"Vice Principal Wang, I hear you were in charge of recruitment today?" an old man with a scar on his face asked, turning to a middle-aged man beside him.

This was Deng Qixing, Dean of the War Academy and a Vice Principal!

The number two figure in the Eastern Capital Military Academy.

"The recruitment quota is huge every year. Who knows how this one slipped through!" Wang Xueli gritted his teeth. He was the main person in charge of recruitment, but he also had the Manufacturing Academy to manage, didn’t he?

The ones actually handling the grunt work were the logistics department.

To put it bluntly...

...Gu Yi, the man on stage right now, was the one who actually got things done.

"Which blind fool recruited this guy? What’s his name?" Gu Yi’s face was now so dark it looked like it could drip ink. He, the Dean of the Logistics Academy, couldn’t even control this one guy?

’He’s still singing!’

"He’s a special recruit..." a female teacher with glasses replied from a distance. She remembered him being perfectly normal when she received Gao Neng and Fang Tangtang last night.

’There was no sign of him being a lunatic.’

’How did he go crazy overnight?’

"A special recruit?!"

Hearing this, all the vice principals and instructors were stunned.

But a white-haired old man who had been sitting upright at the very top, ready to hear the reports, had his expression change in an instant.

Eastern Capital Military Academy only had two spots for special recruits each year.

To investigate...

...would be very easy.

And this year, it was even easier. Because he, Song Tianyun, had personally claimed one of the special recruitment spots at the principals’ meeting, right in front of all the vice principals.

Feeling the gazes from all around, Song Tianyun’s mood was now extremely complicated. If there were no surprises, this guy was probably the one he had recruited.

"Ahem... I seem to recall his surname is Gao?" Song Tianyun coughed and finally spoke up.

"Yes, he’s Gao Neng, a student from the Forgotten Land. He just reported in last night," the teacher with glasses immediately replied.

"Student Gao Neng certainly has a lot of personality... Yes, quite a troublemaker." Song Tianyun glanced around furtively. He couldn’t bring himself to say anything more.

’Don’t I have my pride?!’

However, though he couldn’t say it, someone else could.

"He is quite a troublemaker. Don’t a few of them pop up at every new student assembly? Troublemakers are good... I actually quite like them. If they aren’t troublemakers, my War Academy wouldn’t even want them. It’s understandable, haha, understandable!" The speaker was a bald, middle-aged man. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Gui Zian, Vice Dean of the War Academy and a staunch supporter of Principal Song Tianyun.

"I’ve seen my fair share of troublemakers, but one who makes trouble like this is a true rarity! This guy doesn’t just seem to want to steal the new students’ thunder, does he? I think he wants to steal the instructors’ thunder too!" Another instructor stood up. He was the Vice Dean of the Manufacturing Academy.

A supporter of Wang Qixing.

"Singing at the new student assembly... In all the decades since the founding of my Eastern Capital Military Academy, I’ve never seen such a thing!" As the Dean of the Logistics Academy and the host of this assembly, Gu Yi’s expression was already quite foul.

’You damn troublemaker!’

’How dare you steal my spotlight?’

’I’ll make you pay for this!’

"Dean Gu has a point... We can’t let the decades-long honor of our Eastern Capital Military Academy be ruined by this guy, can we? If we can’t even handle a single new student, we’ll be a laughingstock when word gets out." As Wang Qixing spoke, he shot a subtle glance at Song Tianyun.

Song Tianyun didn’t say a word.

He just tilted his head back and looked at the sky.

’If he remembered correctly, this kid was recommended by Shen Ning’Er. At the time, hadn’t Shen Ning’Er brazenly claimed that he, Song Tianyun, would owe her a favor?’

"Since Principal Song has no objections, I’ll take full responsibility for handling this?" Wang Qixing stood up.

"And what is your opinion, Vice Principal Wang?" Gu Yi asked.

"The student was recruited by Principal Song, so expulsion would be a bit much. But we can certainly ’pluck his thorns.’ The instructors don’t need to get involved. For the rest, Dean Gu, you can handle it as you see fit," Wang Qixing said.

Song Tianyun continued to stare at the sky.

’As long as he’s not expelled, the favor is considered repaid.’

’As for whether he’ll be beaten to death...’

’...that wasn’t his concern.’

After all, it was normal for a few people to die at Eastern Capital Military Academy every year. Which military academy didn’t lose a few students? In any case, it wouldn’t be an instructor who killed him.

Seeing this, Gu Yi understood. Song Tianyun’s silence meant that as long as the instructors didn’t abuse their power to bully a student, if this kid ended up dead, so be it.

"What are you all looking at! You actually want to hear him sing? Then stand here and listen properly! If you don’t want to listen, then make this kid shut his mouth!" Gu Yi finally spoke.

A wave of understanding washed over the new students.

The new students understood instantly.

’So it’s starting?’

As new students of Eastern Capital Military Academy, they all had a rough idea of the academy’s unwritten rules. The so-called new student assembly was, in fact, their best chance to make an impression.

"Let’s take this guy down first!"

"He likes pulling up radishes, doesn’t he? I’ll pull out his teeth!"

"Don’t fight me for him! I’m taking on this troublemaker!" a young man with a dark complexion shouted, then charged out, throwing a punch straight at Gao Neng’s face.

BANG!

A dull thud sounded.

The dark-faced young man went flying.

But Gao Neng, his expression unchanged, just kept on singing.

’What the hell?’

’Do you really think I, the genius Gao Neng, am some pushover you can just walk all over? You come at me trying to slap my face without even using your energy powers? Don’t you know I’ve broken the Fourth Human Limit?!’

"This guy’s explosive power is not bad!"

"His speed is pretty fast, too. In terms of physical ability alone, he should have at least broken the third human limit!"

"Principal Song really has a good eye."

The instructors had naturally seen the punch Gao Neng just threw, which made their expressions change slightly. Although the guy’s singing was terrible, his strength was actually decent.

At that moment, Song Tianyun’s skyward gaze gradually returned to the field.

He, in fact, had seen it even more clearly. Gao Neng hadn’t used his full strength in that punch. The muscles in his arm hadn’t even fully tensed.

’Could it be the Fourth Human Limit?’

’No way.’

’Someone from the Forgotten Land who has broken the Fourth Human Limit?’

Song Tianyun shook his head but said nothing.

’I’ll just watch and see.’

On the training field, the new students who had been eager to be the first to attack all took an involuntary step back, a new look in their eyes.

’This guy’s strength is no joke!’

"I’ll give it a try!" a square-faced young man stepped forward.

"That’s Wu Yunzhe from Huainan Province! I know him. He’s only broken the second human limit, but he’s already a Tier One Late Stage Energy Warrior!"

"Get him!"

"Beat the shit out of him!"

The new students roared.

Wu Yunzhe didn’t bother with any pleasantries, because Gao Neng was still over there singing his radish song, showing him absolutely no respect.

"My explosive power has already reached 1300 points! I don’t believe you can send me flying!" Wu Yunzhe roared, then threw a punch.

And then...

...he went flying again.

"..."

The students fell silent.

Just then, Fang Tangtang let out a "PFFT" and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha... Don’t you guys know how to attack all at once? You have to send yourselves to him one by one, like the Huluwa trying to save their grandpa!" Fang Tangtang laughed uproariously.

"..."

The students’ faces grew even darker.

Gao Neng’s face darkened a little too. He was hoping these guys would come at him one by one. If he could just stall for an hour, he’d complete his mission.

But this little loli, Fang Tangtang...

...was clearly not making things easy for him!

’Is she one of those people who just loves to stir up trouble?’

’What happened to us being comrades who live together and stand shoulder-to-shoulder? Didn’t you just try to recruit me into the Death God Team yesterday? Forgetting to help is one thing, but you’re actually helping me make more enemies!’

’If I get the chance, I’ll definitely pin her to the ground...’

’Never mind, she’s a minor!’

Just as he was thinking this, the surrounding new students were already riled up.

"The three of us will go together!"

"If we don’t beat him until he’s looking for his teeth on the floor today, then I’ll be damned!"

"Let’s do it!"

Three new students rushed forward at once.

Gao Neng sent one flying with a punch, then kicked another one away.

The last one stood frozen in front of him.

Gao Neng didn’t show any mercy either. ’I’ve already done something this humiliating, and you guys still dare to gang up on me? If we’re going to be humiliated, we’ll be humiliated together!’

RRRIP!

A pair of pants was ripped right off.

The scene instantly spiraled out of control!

"Holy shit, he pulled off Chen Xiaoyun’s pants!"

"What a pale ass!"

"..."

The new students shouted as they scrambled to take pictures.

"AHHH!!!" Chen Xiaoyun let out a tragic howl at the sky. At the same time, he crushed a high-dimension capsule in his hand. A silver-white liquid surged out, instantly enveloping his arm.

"So, are things about to get serious now?" Gu Yi watched this scene, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"This kid’s got some real skill! He handled a one-on-three in an instant? And he’s a master of courting death. If he hadn’t pulled off Chen Xiaoyun’s pants, things probably wouldn’t have escalated this far," the Vice Dean of the Manufacturing Academy sighed in agreement.
