Chapter 66: Breaking the Record

Only half an hour had passed since the virtual combat training began.

Other than Zhou Hao and Xu Ling, the rest of the students from Qu City High School had been wiped out. As expected, none of the five Yanjing geniuses had been eliminated.

In the training room, everyone was wailing.

“It’s too difficult!”

“That’s right. There are too many demon warriors in the wilderness. We can’t handle them all!”

“Hai, we should have listened to Instructor Shen. We should have all stayed together.”

“It’s too late to regret now. Fortunately, everyone has been eliminated, so our points should all be pretty similar.”

The students sighed one after another. After they left the virtual cabin, they were shocked to discover that there were still seven people training in the virtual cabin.

“It’s Yuan Cheng and the others!”

“Although I don’t like them, the difference in our strength is indeed huge!”

“It can’t be helped. They came from the Yanjing training camp.”

“Eh? That brat Zhou Hao is also still inside!”

Someone quickly noticed that Zhou Hao’s virtual cabin was still flashing with green lights. Clearly, the other party was still in the virtual environment.

“Damn, we’ve all been eliminated. Why is Zhou Hao still alive?”

“Could he have found a place to hide?”

“The wilderness area is filled with danger. Where can he hide?”

“Tch, there’s so much grass. You can just crawl somewhere and do nothing.”

Most of the students in the focused training class had a deep impression of Zhou Hao.

The reason was very simple.

Zhou Hao was the weakest in his class and had relied on luck to kill the Tusk Boar.

Therefore, when they saw that Zhou Hao was not eliminated, many students’ first reaction was that Zhou Hao had found a place to hide.

This was the only way for them to explain why the other party was still alive.

After all, they had just experienced the danger of the wilderness area.

“Zhou Hao isn’t hiding. He formed a team with me and Xu Ling. Stop being so sarcastic!” Zhang Yi said angrily.

As soon as he said this, the other students came to a realization.

“So he’s with Xu Ling. I was thinking that with Zhou Hao’s strength, he would probably be the first to be eliminated!”

“Hmph, relying on a woman… How embarrassing!”

“Why would Xu Ling help that guy?”

“They’re in the same class after all.”

Many people mocked and ridiculed. They all felt annoyed that Zhou Hao was still alive.

“Silence!”

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the training room.

Only then did the students notice Instructor Shen, the dean, Principal Zheng, and the others standing on the podium.

All of them immediately shut up.

Principal Zheng was the first to speak. “Your performances are too disappointing. The level of danger in this virtual combat training is very low, and yet you guys didn’t even last for half an hour. If you guys had been in the wilderness outside the city, all of you probably wouldn’t even survive for ten minutes!”

The students lowered their heads in shame.

Principal Zheng shook his head and sighed. “When the results are out, open your eyes and watch carefully!”

Time passed slowly. Another hour later, Yuan Cheng and the others were eliminated one after another.

As time passed, the danger level gradually increased.

Therefore, being able to last for an hour and a half was already very outstanding even for the students from the Yanjing Training Camp.

“Not bad, not bad. We actually exceeded an hour and a half. Looks like everyone has improved!” Yuan Cheng and the others left the virtual cabin. When they saw the number displayed beside the green light, they couldn’t help but laugh.

Fang Yu swept his gaze around and saw a dense group of students standing. She immediately sneered, “Yo, you’re all out?”

Lei Jinpeng laughed. “You guys didn’t even last half an hour. Is that all you guys are capable of?”

Facing Fang Yuan’s sneer, many students were silent.

However, just as Fang Yu was about to continue mocking them…

Suddenly, an electronic synthesized voice sounded from two virtual cabins. “Congratulations to the Qu City High School students, Zhou Hao and Xu Ling, for breaking the newbie virtual combat training record. You both lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes.”

Click.

After the electronic voice sounded, the training room was silent.

Principal Zheng and the dean looked at each other.

“Instructor, is there really a record for this?” Department Director Hong could not help but ask.

Instructor Shen nodded. “This batch of virtual cabins is uniformly used on Earth. Previously, the newbie record was maintained by a genius in Yanjing who scored 1 hour and 5 minutes. I didn’t expect this record to be broken at Qu City High School!”

As he spoke, he stared at the electronic screen in disbelief.

The footage showing Xu Ling and Zhou Hao were dark.

Once the time exceeded 1 hour, the system would automatically block the footage so that no one could see what was happening inside.

Therefore, Instructor Shen could not figure out how Xu Ling and Zhou Hao survived in the wilderness for so long.

Could Zhou Hao be that hidden genius? This thought couldn’t help but pop up in his mind, and he couldn’t help but feel excited.

“Impossible!”

A sudden voice exploded in the training room.
