The Cunning Rat


    "I can''t believe that there would be a day when you would say something like that."


    Zhou Mingrui, who was approaching the group, heard Yan Wuyue''s teasing words.


    "Well, that was just basic maniption, you got a problem with that?" Zhou Mingrui gave her a side eye and said with a cool expression.


    "Wow, you''re getting cocky," Yan Wuyueughed.


    "If not? I can''t let youpliment me for nothing, right?" Zhou Mingrui retorted jokingly.


    "Hahaha, why are you two so funny?" Zhao Anqiughed.


    "Boring." Xiao Shengyun scowled and didn''t say anything much.


    Right after Zhou Mingrui left, the students began to be on guard against one another. They no longer had any thoughts of working together.


    "Where''s that Zhang Mian?"


    A student suddenly asked.


    "Wasn''t hemanding us just now? Where is he now?"


    "Yeah, could Zhou Mingrui be right? That guy was using us?"


    "Come out! Didn''t that fellow say we could win? Why did he hide when things got dangerous?"


    "B*stard, this guy was using us like consumables. We were his chess pieces!"


    "Find that guy and get him out first. I''m so angry!"


    The students were immediately thrown into chaos. They felt so deceived, and anger immediately resonated through in the crowd.


    However, no matter how hard they searched, Zhang Mian was nowhere to be found.


    "F*ck, this guy is gone!"


    "As expected, he was toying with us!"


    "Find him, I''m going to teach him a lesson."


    "Right, even if we can''t pass, we can''t let him qualify. B*stard!"


    The fact that they couldn''t find Zhang Mian infuriated most of the students, and a few of them swore that they would find him and kill him!


    The scouts outside of the arena allughed and shook their heads when they saw this scene.


    "As expected, freshmen are freshmen. Such a trivial matter has already destroyed their mentality."


    "Honestly, it''s not shameful to be used. As long as they can achieve their goal, so what if they were being used? I don''t know what these students were thinking, getting unproductively angry after being used."


    "Yeah,pared to Zhou Mingrui, the difference in mental capacity is just too great. Indeed, some people are just too outstanding."


    "It''s still good that they reacted quite quickly and aren''t too stupid. Let''s see what other surprises they may give us in the next round."


    In the arena, since the students could not find Zhang Mian, they could only grit their teeth and swallow their anger.


    Now, they did not dare to go for Zhou Mingrui, and they were cautious not to randomly attack each other, afraid that something would happen and cause a chaotic battle.


    Just like that, the ce fell into an inexplicable silence. Everyone stared at each other, and no one made a move.


    Time slowly passed by in silence, and soon, the fifteen minutes timer had reached thest minute.


    Everyone had already let down their guard. Under such circumstances, they assumed that they were basically safe until the end.


    However, just as there were 30 seconds left, there was a sudden cry of rm in the crowd. Instantly, everything went into chaos.


    The students, who had just begun to rx a little, immediately became agitated again. They began to be highly on guard against one another, and prepared to summon their spirits and skills if anything were to happen.


    "Zhang Mian, you b*stard!"


    Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted. it immediately attracted the attention of the people around them, and everyone immediately turned to look at the source of the sound.


    But at the same time, a blood-curdling scream suddenly rang out. Following that, a student was ambushed while he was distracted and fell to the ground.


    Then, before anyone could even react to this, one of the students identally activated a skill because he was too nervous.


    The student directly next to him was hit by the skill. Although it was not too serious such that he would be eliminated, the angry student immediatelyunched a counterattack with his teammates.


    The entire stage entered a chaotic battle.


    The spectators were all dumbfounded by this scene.


    "These guys are too easily incited," Zhao Anqimented in surprise.


    "Actually, they can''t be med for this. After all, Zhou Mingrui had put them under too much pressure just now, so they were already in a state of distress."


    "Then, Zhang Mian cheated them of their trust. They found out that they had been used as a tool and deceived. Many of them must be on the verge of a mental breakdown."


    "You can''t me them for doing such things to vent their anger." Yan Wuyue exined slowly.


    "What you''ve said seems to make sense." Zhao Anqi nodded.


    "A bunch of idiots. In a situation like this, they should prioritize protecting themselves. Even if they''re attacked, they should escape from the fight as soon as possible instead of retaliating impulsively. To think that they''re all elites fromrge ns and factions. What a joke," Xiao Shengyun snorted.


    "Hehe, Xiao Shengyun, I know that you came from a poor family, but sometimes you shouldn''t judge people with such extreme views." Zhou Mingrui, arms crossed in front of his chest,ughed.


    "That''s my freedom. I just don''t like them. They''re usually so arrogant and look down on others, but now they behave like clowns," Xiao Shengyun said, his face full of despise.


    "What, I''m from one of those families you''re talking about too, are you looking down on me as well?" Zhao Anqi, who was listening at the side, felt that something started to sound off, so she turned her head and asked.


    "I, I, I didn''t. I was talking about them. It has nothing to do with you." Xiao Shengyun lowered his head in embarrassment and did not dare to look her in the eye.


    "Hmph, I don''t care if you''re unhappy with them. I''m not close to you, but you still shouldn''t stereotype!" Zhao Anqi snorted and turned away, ignoring Xiao Shengyun.


    [It''s true that everything has its natural counter.] Zhou Mingrui thought to himself.


    30 seconds passed quickly, and the referee announced the end of the elimination round. In just a few dozen seconds, more than two hundred students had been eliminated.


    Now, less than four hundred people were left in the field.


    "Tsk, tsk, tsk, this internal strife is even more efficient than me doing it myself. If it had been like this from the beginning, there probably wouldn''t be many people left now." Zhou Mingrui clicked his tongue andughed.


    "If it wasn''t for their chain reactions to all these well-timed events, the battle probably wouldn''t have happened so easily," Yan Wuyue said.


    "Are you trying to say that it was Zhao Mian who did that secretly just now, and his purpose was to create chaos and reduce the number of people?" Zhou Mingrui raised his brows.


    "Well, have you ever seen him in action visibly?" Yan Wuyue asked.


    "Damn it, this guy is really cunning. I thought I had already foiled his n, but I didn''t expect to be used by him again." Zhou Mingrui said, shaking his head.


    Zhou Mingrui furrowed his brows and suddenly asked in a low voice, "By the way, this guy is so cunning. Are you sure you haven''t seen him at a that time?"


    Yan Wuyue replied with sound transmission, "No, either this guy changed his name or appearance, but I''ve never seen anyone use such a calctive method. After all, it''s impossible for monsters to tell you this."
