I Can Control Resources

Gao Neng had thought that turning into a duck was like wearing a diving suit, giving him a natural advantage. He never expected someone would dare to challenge his authority.

Fortunately, the lake water was relatively clear.

He spotted the creature at the bottom of the water with a single glance.

"Whoa! What a huge... octopus?!" Gao Neng jumped in fright, but he quickly realized something was wrong. There was a phantom-like human figure superimposed over the octopus’s body.

"Chen Bai!"

’Chen Bai turned into an octopus? Isn’t he a dinosaur?!’

’And he’s attacking me?’

GLUG GLUG GLUG!

Startled, Gao Neng choked on a few mouthfuls of lake water.

Then, he lunged forward, grabbing the tentacles wrapped around his legs with both hands. Without hesitation, he bit down hard.

’I’ll bite you to death!’

!!! Chen Bai also seemed not to have expected Gao Neng to bite so swiftly. His mouth opened, and a few bubbles escaped. Clearly, he had also choked on some lake water.

But Chen Bai was Chen Bai, after all.

He was bold, meticulous, and powerful. Plus, he had come prepared. He immediately used his other tentacles to wrap around Gao Neng’s neck.

Gao Neng’s face turned pale.

’Underwater combat...’

Chen Bai, taking advantage of the octopus’s natural superiority, had him tightly bound.

He was even choking him.

Gao Neng instinctively wanted to surface for a breath of air.

But he knew that if he tried to escape upward, Chen Bai would very likely kill him.

’What should I do?’

’I can only fight it out!’

Gao Neng had no other choice. Fortunately, he could clearly see the silhouette of Chen Bai’s octopus form, so he could naturally distinguish its specific body parts.

"Take this!" While biting down on a tentacle, Gao Neng grabbed Chen Bai’s crotch with one hand and, with all his might, squeezed hard.

GLUG GLUG GLUG!

Chen Bai’s eyes went wide.

Bubbles streamed from his mouth. He clearly hadn’t expected Gao Neng’s casual squeeze to be so accurate. The doubled pain made it impossible for him to close his mouth.

Gao Neng wasn’t about to show any mercy.

How could he let go of the opportunity he now had firmly in hand?

’Squeeze again!’

’Squeeze with all my strength!’

’And a vicious tug!’

!!! Chen Bai finally couldn’t take it anymore. Thrashing wildly, he kicked at Gao Neng’s body with several tentacles, finally punting him out of the water.

"HUFF!" Gao Neng’s whole body ached, but he immediately gasped for air. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

At the same time, a huge wave rolled across the water’s surface, and then, a gigantic octopus, a full ten-plus meters long, emerged.

"This is unfair! He’s hacking! How can there be an octopus this big in a lake? This thing belongs in the ocean!" Gao Neng cursed, not daring to continue fighting Chen Bai in the water. He swam desperately toward the small island.

The octopus, after thrashing on the lake’s surface a few times, gave chase once again.

"Quick, classmates, grab him! I’m Gao Neng from Third High!" Chen Bai shouted toward the island as he pursued Gao Neng.

??? Gao Neng was a little confused.

’What the hell?’

’Chen Bai is impersonating me?’

"It’s Gao Neng from Third High?!"

"Gao Neng turned into a... whoa, what a huge octopus!"

"He’s fighting Lieutenant Chen? And he actually managed to make Lieutenant Chen... run away?"

On the small island, Li Caicai, He Haifan, and the others saw this scene and were momentarily stunned.

"The Military Department’s assessment is designed to kill us! Our only chance of passing is to work together and kill Lieutenant Chen Bai first! Everyone, attack together! He’s injured!" Chen Bai continued to shout.

... This time, Gao Neng understood.

’Chen Bai is going to use my name, and then use the students to kill me?!’

’But, this isn’t how the plot is supposed to go, right?’

’Normally, if Chen Bai found out someone was impersonating him, he should have been furious and immediately set the record straight. But instead of clearing his name, he was indirectly confirming that I was Lieutenant Chen Bai.’

’No!’

’How could this be?’

’Unless... Chen Bai knows that I’m Gao Neng?!’

’He’s giving me a taste of my own medicine!’

’Gan Liniang!’

Gao Neng finally understood Chen Bai’s sinister intentions. This was revenge, pure and simple. But he couldn’t say anything, because there was no way he could now claim that *he* was the real Gao Neng.

That would be truly foolish.

"Quick, anyone who wants to pass the assessment, follow me and kill Lieutenant Chen Bai!" Chen Bai was still shouting as he swam up behind Gao Neng.

The students on the island were finally moved to action.

They had all seen it with their own eyes: Gao Neng had killed the student from the girls’ high school. On top of that, Gao Neng himself had admitted to being Chen Bai, and his demonstrated power far surpassed the scores from his own physical fitness test.

It was settled!

There was no doubt about it.

Now that "classmate Gao Neng" was fighting "Lieutenant Chen Bai" to the death, what did they, the students, have to worry about?

"Lieutenant Chen Bai, I, Li Caicai, will avenge the students of the girls’ high school and prove that we are not to be trifled with!" Li Caicai was the first to charge forward.

At this point, Gao Neng had no other choice.

Seeing Li Caicai attack with a Fierce Rat Fist, he countered with a smack of his duck wing.

SMACK!

A fist and a wing collided.

Unsurprisingly, Li Caicai was knocked back five steps.

"It really is Lieutenant Chen Bai! He’s so strong! Everyone, attack together!" Li Caicai shouted, and demonstrating her tenacity, she lunged forward again.

"Li Caicai, we’ll help you!"

"I’m coming too!"

"Let’s kill Lieutenant Chen Bai together! We just need to pass the assessment first!"

Seeing Li Caicai make her move, the students no longer hesitated. They all scrambled to rush forward.

Gao Neng was now truly experiencing what it felt like to suffer in silence.

’This was pure misery!’

’When did so many people get on this island?’

’There are more than thirty of them!’

"Students of Second High, follow me, Lv Guoyuan, and charge!" With a great roar, another group rushed out on the island, surprisingly led by Lv Guoyuan.

"Students of Third High, charge! Gao Neng has made his move! We can’t bring shame to Third High! Third High will be victorious!" At this moment, the students from Third High also charged out together.

... Gao Neng was speechless.

’Son of a bitch!’

’Where are these guys’ brains?!’

’Are you all blind?!’

’Am I, the great leader of Third High, going to die at the hands of my own people?’

"Insolence! Do none of you want to pass the assessment?! Do you have any idea what the consequences are for attacking an Examiner?" Gao Neng gritted his teeth and bellowed.

... The excited students froze.

"The Military Department’s assessments have always been fair! Since the Examiner attacked us candidates, it means we candidates can also attack the Examiner! Classmates, don’t be afraid! With me, Gao Neng, here, I’ll take responsibility even if the sky falls! I have a great relationship with Major Shen!" Chen Bai, naturally seeing the students’ hesitation, shouted again.

"That’s right, Major Shen!"

"Gao Neng must have gotten inside information from Major Shen!"

"Yes, that must be it! If we follow Gao Neng’s lead and attack, we can’t go wrong!"

The students were instantly convinced.

With no more hesitation, they all lunged toward Gao Neng.

Just then, Chen Bai also charged ashore. Without a hint of hesitation, he pounced toward Gao Neng, all while continuing to shout his theory as he ran.

The enormous octopus...

...was still remarkably agile, even on the island.
