Seeing Wu Bin was cooperative, the man also felt at ease.
He said to Wu Bin, "You can leave, but this woman must stay."
Wu Bin frowned.
"Friend, this is still a school. Our agronomy university’s security is very formidable."
"At this point, you better hurry and run."
Wu Bin didn’t want to play the hero, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch someone die.
So, as far as he was concerned, the best outcome would be to appeal to the man’s emotions and reason with him, to see if he could persuade the man to back down.
However, just then, Wu Bin suddenly noticed someone lying in the bushes.
Wu Bin took a couple of steps to the side and confirmed he wasn’t mistaken.
Indeed, there was a girl lying in the grass, stabbed in the chest and covered in blood.
When Wu Bin saw the girl’s face, he fell silent.
Because the girl who had been stabbed was the same one he had encountered in the morning, the one who had been severely scolded by an old lady for littering.
Wu Bin still remembered her sunny and cheerful appearance.
But now, she lay there in the bushes with her eyes open, blood continuously flowing from her mouth.
Seeing Wu Bin standing still, the man grew impatient.
"Are you going to scram or not? If not, I’ll kill you too!"
Wu Bin lowered his hands and slowly walked toward the man.
Noticing a change in Wu Bin’s demeanor, Mino’s eyes flashed with recognition.
Wu Bin’s head was bowed, the shadows from the surrounding trees obscuring his face, making it impossible for the man to see his expression.
Wu Bin said in a deep voice, "Has no one taught you not to make noise in a school at night?"
"It will disturb the students’ sleep."
The man also sensed that Wu Bin seemed different.
A sense of crisis welled up inside him.
"Stop! I told you to stop right there, don’t come any closer!"
"Do you fucking hear me!"
The man panicked.
Seeing Wu Bin continue to approach him, the man raised the fruit knife in his hand and lunged at Wu Bin!
Ding.
[Gale Breath has been activated]
The man, about to make his move, suddenly felt his breathing catch, as if he suddenly couldn’t breathe.
This moment of hesitation gave Wu Bin the chance to counterattack.
Ding.
[Call of the Wild has been activated]
[You have acquired a new ability, Rhino Beetle—Horn Strength]
[Warning, current stamina is low. Forcing this ability will cause you to enter a weakened state]
Weakened my ass, explode!
At this moment, Wu Bin’s anger had reached its peak.
His arms bulked up with muscle, like they were forged in steel—full of power!
The man stabbed at Wu Bin with his knife.
Wu Bin didn’t have the time to dodge; he could only take the hit.
However, to the man’s surprise, when the fruit knife hit Wu Bin, it was like stabbing iron, unable to penetrate, merely leaving a cut on Wu Bin’s abdomen.
While the man was stunned, Wu Bin’s fist had already smashed into his head with tremendous force!
Bang!
A horrible sound of breaking bones resounded.
With just one punch, the man’s right cheekbone was completely shattered, and his entire face caved in.
One must know that the rhino beetle is an animal with relatively the strongest arm strength in nature!
It can effortlessly lift objects 850 times its own body weight!
The equivalent of dragging nine elephants away!
And such relative strength was now manifested in Wu Bin’s body.
One could imagine how heavy Wu Bin’s punch was as he turned into a one-punch man!
The man was hit by Wu Bin’s punch and immediately lost the ability to move.
If Wu Bin hadn’t held back, that punch would have been enough to take his life.
Wu Bin walked over, lifted the man by the collar with his left hand, and repeatedly slapped him with his right hand, raised high.
"Why on earth would you learn to be a killer?"
"Are you still up for it?"
"I’m asking you a question, answer me!"
After a dozen slaps, the man was already out of it.
Mino, standing behind, watched with her eyes wide and mouth agape.
She had thought there would be a big fight between Wu Bin and the killer, but she didn’t expect Wu Bin to end the fight with just a casual move.
Wu Bin wanted to teach the man a lesson, but due to the forced use of his skill, his energy bar was now depleted.
Wu Bin felt as if all the strength had been drawn out of his body.
He slumped to the ground, panting heavily and breaking out in cold sweat.
Fortunately, the man was already incapacitated by his beating and shouldn’t be a threat to others anymore.
Wu Bin said to Mino, "Classmate, call an ambulance first, then call the police. Check on that girl over there to see if she can be saved."
Mino seemed not to hear Wu Bin’s words and walked straight toward him.
Wu Bin’s brow furrowed as he sensed something was amiss.
"Don’t you have a phone? I have one in my pocket; you can use it to call the police. I can’t move right now."
Hearing Wu Bin say that, Mino broke into a sickly sweet laugh.
"The weakness period after using supernatural ability? I didn’t expect you to actually be a Supernatural Being, and such a greenhorn at that."
When Wu Bin heard this, alarm bells went off in his head. 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
He managed to force a smile.
"What... what supernatural ability? I have no idea what you’re talking about."
Mino spoke disdainfully, "Stop pretending. If you were not a Supernatural Being, how could you possibly break two world records consecutively with your physical condition?"
"Dragon Country’s Ninth Research Institute’s operational capacity is getting worse and worse, allowing a greenhorn Supernatural Being like you to be exposed right before us."
Pfft.
Mino picked up the fruit knife from the ground and plunged it directly into the man’s neck.
At this moment, where was the panicked and fragile appearance she had before?
Blood splattered on Wu Bin’s face, making him shudder.
The man’s blood ran down the blade of the fruit knife as if coming to life, crawling into Mino’s body.
In less than two minutes, the man who was killed turned into a dried-up corpse!
Wu Bin swallowed hard, his face turning pale.
"Look, big sister, I really don’t know anything about the Supernatural Being you’re talking about. We have no grievances, and I just saved your life. You can’t bite the hand that feeds you!"
Mino extended her blood-red tongue and licked her lips.
"Do you think I needed your rescue?"
"That kind of trash, I could kill easily with my own hands."
A sense of dread hit Wu Bin as he realized what was happening.
This was all a trap.
A trap set by Mino to probe his abilities and simultaneously get rid of him!
At this moment, Wu Bin was frantic inside!
Was he going to meet his end right after being recruited by The Ninth Research Institute?
Just as Wu Bin was feeling desperate, a sonorous male voice echoed from the shadows in the distance.
"This student, it’s not according to school rules to be roaming around outside instead of being in the dormitory at this hour, right?"
Wu Bin was overjoyed.
His savior had arrived!
However, when Wu Bin saw clearly who the man was, the smile froze on his face.
"Xu... Principal Xu?"
