The Most Powerful Brain in the Interstellar Space

Chapter 279 Cover
It's more than just being arrogant...

The older generation's assessment was a bit too mild. Perhaps he didn't want to place too high moral expectations on young children, and he was also aware of the potential impact a careless remark in such a public setting could have on them, so he opted for a more neutral approach.

But Min Hao knew that what the other party probably meant was arrogance and ruthlessness.

As Lin Maowu's homeroom teacher, Min Hao naturally knew him; Lin was considered one of the top students in Class Two. Aside from Huan Xian, who was quite extraordinary, he was probably the next best person.

This is an exceptionally talented young coach; there is virtually nothing to criticize about him.

Min Hao was once extremely satisfied with him—until that incident happened.

Huan Xian's exclusion was truly unfortunate, and what was even more frustrating was that, aside from the few students who had broken the rules, both sides could be said to have their own positions. Min Hao was also unable to resolve the conflict between them.

However, he would not overlook the fact that, at the beginning of this matter, besides Huan Xian revealing his own abilities, there was actually another figure involved.

When Huan Xian first arrived in this class, Lin Maowu was the first to reach out to him. Children's friendships can develop very easily; both of them could sense a subtle yet remarkably similar aura emanating from the other.

While it's not like they became such good friends after only two or three days, Min Hao remembered how friendly and appreciative they were at the beginning of their training. Huan Xian also seemed to be gradually integrating into the group.

However, an accident occurred during their first mental energy transmission training session. At the time, he didn't know what conflict had occurred between the two; he only knew that he hadn't seen them standing together since then, and things had even started to deteriorate.

It was from that time onward that Huanxian's situation in Class Two deteriorated rapidly, and he gradually lost control due to the accumulated friction.

Although he later learned that Lin Maowu had not interfered or taken advantage of his misfortune, he was the first to speak out, ruthlessly distancing himself as if the previous friendship had been a mere illusion, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Lin Maowu, as the leader, took the lead, and the others followed suit. Whether it was their own fear of Huan Xian's abilities or the influence of the group's attitude, a net of exclusion ultimately kept the sensitive and out-of-place boy out.

Min Hao had also spoken to Lin Maowu, but the other party was adamant and acted as if it were none of his business, so he naturally didn't continue the conversation.

Looking at the opponent's words and actions in this match, he finally glimpsed the heavy feeling that had inexplicably arisen in him back then.

His student seemed quite different from what he had imagined.

Min Hao sighed deeply. None of them were easy to deal with. He felt he was already getting tired even before he had really started teaching this class.

"We'll teach the kids gradually."

"..." He'd been tricked. Huan Xian slipped and fell to the ground, then felt as if his body and voice were sealed off. He couldn't move his limbs, nor could he make a sound, but whether he couldn't control his expression or not, a strange smile lingered on his lips.

Zhou Xiuwen felt his body go numb instantly. Hearing this, he was both amused and exasperated, but he couldn't make a sound. He could only think to himself, "Friend, this is not the time to laugh. We've just been hit by the enemy."

Clarence broke out in a cold sweat, his back slid down the trench wall, his hands hanging limply on the ground, but his eyes gleamed with a burning resentment.

It was him...! He was the one who was just hit.

Without the chance to remain in a formal team, he wouldn't stand a chance against Holly right now. That guy is just too terrifying.

Whether it was surprising or expected, the three of them would be forced to spend half a minute of blank time in this locked-down state.

While half a minute may seem short, it becomes incredibly long in this situation. A great deal can happen in just half a minute – the opponent can use it to launch a second attack, or they can run hundreds of meters closer to their defensive line. Either way, it's clearly very disadvantageous for them.

There's nothing we can do about it. That's the nature of a formal team. They share the same fate—one for the glory, the other for the loss.

The others were all affected and their movements were restricted. This was the first time they had received this "treatment" since the start of the competition.

Fortunately, they were all hidden in the trenches. In that deadly half-star period, their bodies, weakened and unable to control them, slid uncontrollably into the trenches, naturally adding a layer of protection for them, allowing them to disappear from Holly and the others' sight. They were also unable to press their advantage.

Huan Xian rarely found himself in such a constrained situation. Although he was momentarily stunned, he quickly recovered.

Although his movements were restricted, his mind wasn't. His first thought was that the other party was about 1.4 kilometers away from here, and half a minute was enough for them to run 1.2 kilometers, or even about a kilometer if they were fast enough.

One kilometer was enough for them to see the situation clearly; things were not looking good.

The moment Huan Xian realized he could move his body, he jumped up from the bottom of the trench and quickly used his mental energy to look at the situation ahead.

Sure enough, the other side had also thought of this. In the half-minute that they had lost the initiative, they had already run more than a kilometer away and looked like they were about to get closer.

If they actually come over and discover the trenches, things will get bad. They'll definitely abandon their weapons and switch to hand-to-hand combat... There will only be three of them against five. Can they win?! Even Huan Xian wasn't confident.

We're in a very passive position anyway—we need to act quickly in this situation.

Although there was this unexpected incident, that person should be almost ready, right?
Huan Xian glanced briefly at a spot in the east-west direction.

He glanced at the silent Larens, then spoke to the other two: '...'

--------------

Mu Kun's eyebrows twitched. Although this seemed pathetic, she couldn't contain her excitement.

She finally won a point; she was the one who hit that guy.

Even from a distance, Xiao Li could sense the guy's smugness and excitement. He pursed his lips but ultimately said nothing; after all, the guy was truly skilled. It was quite good that he'd given that wretched R186 a taste of his own medicine.

Otherwise, with one side having only one chance left and the other completely unscathed, it was impossible to predict the outcome. Now, they have finally narrowed the gap somewhat.

1.13 km... 1.09 km... 0.97 km... 0.9 km!
Holly, who was in front, suddenly stopped in front of a patch of low, flat bushes. The boy gestured for his teammates to lie in ambush.

The two quickly composed themselves and got back into the zone, not lingering on their smugness because they knew that what had just happened was merely a warm-up, and the real battle was about to begin.

Who will live and who will die, we shall see in this episode.

Feeling that familiar spiritual power once again permeate his body, even more domineering and righteous than before, Holly's fingertip tightened slightly on the trigger, and he silently chanted—

'One, two...'
