"It... it can't be." Those who had no hope for Han Jin were slapped in the face. Han Jin defeated the gorilla effortlessly with a casual punch, causing the elite class C to fall instead, despite being known for their strength.
However, some keen students noticed the extraordinary nature of Han Jin's equipped gauntlet. A top student specializing in the production of weapon systems stepped forward to explain to the others, "This gauntlet is no ordinary item. Just the material alone is unfathomable to me, and the added energy transmission system inside is so complex that it's mind-blowing. Just based on the fact that it allows an E-rank student to overpower a gorilla with strength comparable to a B-rank, the starting price for this gauntlet would be at least 500,000 world coins."
The public screen for the gambling match allowed for free communication among participants. However, because the participants remained anonymous, not even Honey Orange, the initiator, knew who they were. Of course, she didn't have the interest to find out.
"No way, 500,000?!" Some students found it hard to believe. 500,000 world coins were equivalent to the annual scholarship for a B-rank student. This indicated that the gauntlet must be at least B-rank. It is worth noting that B-rank already stood at the top of the academy's pyramid. What made these students envious was that this desirable and unattainable divine weapon came from the hands of the worst E-rank student.
Some students scoffed at this, thinking that relying on equipment to gain an advantage was a shortcut and against the proper way of doing things. "Even if he has weapons of B-rank level, strength is the most fundamental factor. A user who is too weak will only let the divine weapon gather dust."
Many agreed with this viewpoint, saying, "Exactly. Just improving strength is not enough; being too weak is ultimately a weakness. I believe the final victor will still be the Thunder Legion."
Honey Orange, sitting in the control room, gazed at Han Jin appreciatively. She found that the more she looked at this man, the more mysterious he became. Moreover, the grade of the equipment he wore definitely exceeded B-rank. This made her curious about Han Jin's identity. "Little brother, you really are quite mysterious."
Han Jin shook his hand, feeling that the compatibility between himself and this equipment had slightly improved. At the same time, he also realized the dominance of the S-rank gauntlet.
To wield this weapon, one must withstand the terrifying temperature that matches it. The energy generated by his punch just now produced a temperature of several hundred degrees. If it were an ordinary person, their hand would have been cooked long ago. But for Han Jin, even the temperature of sweat on his hand couldn't reach that level.
Of course, this was also because it hadn't been fully activated. Using this equipment was surprisingly simple. As long as the corresponding amount of strength was applied, it would activate the corresponding thermal energy. As long as one could withstand the infusion of this power into their body, they would receive strengthening enhancement.
Han Jin had a premonition that when this gauntlet unleashed its full power, the temperature would probably reach tens of thousands of degrees, causing terror.
People from the Thunder Legion couldn't help but be shocked. The gorilla's strength ranked first in C-rank, and since purchasing the Windstorm Shoes, his overall strength had improved significantly. He could even rank in the top twenty of C-rank. However, this kind of expert couldn't even withstand a single move from Han Jin.
"This is interesting." The tall and thin man next to Thunder uttered as he lit a cigarette, looking at Han Jin with interest. "That gauntlet is extremely powerful. None of us here can take its attack head-on."
Though he spoke that way, Guo Yu didn't feel any sense of urgency. He continued to squint his eyes and smile.
Guo Yu and Liang You were considered Thunder's right-hand men. The three of them came from the same small town and entered the Hero Academy at the same time. They climbed to the top of the Hero Academy's C-rank, and even most of the students in Class C were not their opponents. People like Fang Jie were, at best, just friends. They were only helping him regain some face, while only the two of them were truly Thunder's good brothers.
Guo Yu had a tall and straight figure, dressed in an ordinary white shirt. He always had a smile on his face, and coupled with his outstanding appearance and extremely good temperament, many female students in the academy had a favorable impression of him. Even a B-rank senior sister had taken the initiative to pursue Guo Yu, only to be politely rejected by him.
With Guo Yu's strength, he could easily rank in the top five of C-rank. But in reality, for the Thunder trio, it was only interesting if they broke through and passed the B-rank assessment together. As for advancing to Class C, it was meaningless to them.
Guo Yu was best at researching power weapons. He was a genius in designing power weapons. Although he usually dressed very simply, he was covered in power weapons of his own design. Even an S-rank professor in the manufacturing department had promised to take him as his apprentice if Guo Yu advanced to B-rank.Of course, being proficient in the use of ability weapons does not mean that Guo Yu's own strength is weak. It's just that he has invested too much energy in the design and manufacturing of ability weapons, so his own progress is a bit slow.
"Are you planning to take action, A Yu?" Lei Lie opened his eyes and looked at him solemnly. When Fang Jie was sent to the hospital, Lei Lie was only angry because he had been slapped, but Guo Yu was different. He really didn't want his good brother to be injured at all.
Guo Yu shrugged, "I can't help it. Whenever I see a sophisticated ability weapon, I get itchy hands. Don't worry, I know my limits."
"Be careful and don't be careless." Lei Lie knew Guo Yu's strength. He had spent three years at the Hero Academy and had hundreds of combat experiences. He had great confidence in his brother.
Inside the gambling screen, when they saw Guo Yu stepping forward, a fanatical fan stood up and exclaimed, "Ah! It's Guo Yu's husband, so handsome. There is no suspense in this battle, my husband will definitely win."
"Can you call my husband a slut? Guo Yu is definitely mine." Of course, there were other fans who refuted her.
However, the opponent's response silenced the screen for several seconds. "You bitch, when did I say I am a woman? Can't a man be called a husband?"
Mijin shook her head. What are all these people saying? She then stopped paying attention to the screen and shifted her focus to the live broadcast. "Hey, they are both handsome guys. It's a pity if either one of them gets hurt. Young man, please go easy on each other."
Han Jin couldn't help but feel speechless. How long will they keep fighting like this? Why not fight together instead of competing?
But the man who stood in front of him, who was half a head taller than him, was not comparable to the guy earlier. He was much stronger than that big gorilla.
"Why don't you guys come at me together? Don't waste my time. I'm here to collect debts, not to fight." Even if the other party is outstanding, I am not in the same league as myself. Han Jin stretched lazily and said impatiently.
Guo Yu was slightly surprised by Han Jin's words, but soon he was relieved.
He opened his previously narrowed eyes and replaced them with passionate eyes. "Actually, I'm not here to fight either. I just can't resist the temptation of trying out someone else's particularly excellent ability weapon."
Han Jin could sense the fanaticism in Guo Yu's eyes, but the person Guo Yu was looking at was the wrist guard, not him.
