My Ability Pool is Superior-Chapter 65 - 64: An Idiot?

Dong~ dong~ dong~

A series of three grand bell sounds came from all directions, causing the noisy hall to momentarily pause.

Chen Li, sitting at the podium, kept a stern face and spoke into the microphone in a deep voice, "Silence."

Although the students below who had just finished their death-duel confrontations didn’t know who this guy was, their long-term training still made them instinctively choose to comply.

Chen Li glanced at the numerous students below, then winked at Liang Fuzhong: "Instructor Liang, you can start recording the data."

Liang Fuzhong nodded in agreement, then turned and waved to the nearby faculty.

Upon receiving notice, the staff standing on both sides of the hall quickly entered, holding personal terminals resembling tablets to inquire and record the students present.

There isn’t much that needs recording, generally just the number of the death arena, one’s ranking, and the abilities acquired in the death arena.

It’s possible for someone to lie, but unless it’s something very important, like clearly being ranked 480 but saying you’re ranked 460, generally nobody would delve into it deeply.

After all, verifying is troublesome.

However, if someone claims to be in the top ten, it would definitely be cross-checked in various ways, confirmed to be true before it can be recorded; lies are easily exposed.

Liang Fuzhong watched for a while, seeing no errors or omissions appeared, he flatteringly asked Chen Li: "Director, would you like to go down and take a look?"

...

Lv Bai briefly shifted his focus from the data panel to the podium when he heard the bell, finding nothing amiss, he turned back to continue checking his personal interface.

After all, the titles rewarded can only be considered a pleasant surprise for Lv Bai; the truly valuable elements lie in the [Abilities] section.

According to the system prompts, one must meet the performance standards to qualify for retaining abilities.

The downside is that only one can be retained, making it quite a dilemma.

In his view, all three abilities he acquired in the last death-duel confrontation were quite powerful.

[Blood Burst] could be eliminated first.

But [Super-speed Regeneration] and [Flash Time], both abilities are extremely useful, it pains him to give up either.

Lv Bai hesitated for a while but chose to retain [Flash Time].

After all, color-level abilities are a bit rarer, as for healing abilities, hopefully, he can get something better later.

[Personal Interface:]

[Username: Rename26LB (Temporarily unmodifiable)]

[Main Title: Innocent Smile]

[Subtitles: Beheading Butcher, Ultimate Killing Demon]

[Talent: 8+10.2 (1 point can be converted to 0.1 talent, currently converting, estimated time: seven days)]

[Ability: Flash Time (Color)]

[Evaluation: Budding sprout, strive to rise above.]

Lv Bai looked at the evaluation that popped out at the very bottom of the personal interface, slightly surprised, it seemed that this evaluation wasn’t there before he chose the ability. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Did you get first place, student?"

A strange voice fell into Lv Bai’s ears, pulling him out of the system interface.

Lv Bai scrutinized the man in front of him, realizing this person might be the big shot who had been sitting at the podium just now.

Considering this, he was about to speak but someone interrupted him first.

"Director Chen, this is just a fool, you’d better not tease him."

Liang Fuzhong smiled obsequiously, pointing to someone else: "That tall student over there, I think their ranking should be good, always at the top in daily training."

A fool?

This pre-established persona is more absurd than imagined.

With words at the tip of his tongue, Lv Bai swallowed them imperceptibly, revealing a harmless smile.

"Old Liang, how could you say that? Maybe the kid got lucky?"

Chen Li patted Lv Bai’s shoulder and teased: "Keep working hard, breaking into the top 400 counts as success."

Liang Fuzhong stood by, politely smiling: "Yes, yes, yes."

Lv Bai stood there dazed, but Liang Fuzhong and Chen Li didn’t mind at all.

"Old Liang, that’s not fair. Alright, I’ll go check out the top student you mentioned."

That said, Chen Li stepped away, not at all waiting for Liang Fuzhong’s response.

Liang Fuzhong sighed imperceptibly, then turned to speak softly to Lv Bai: "You go back first, I’ll randomly write a death arena number for you, as for ranking... Alas."

Lv Bai remained quite ignorant of the current situation, it’s better to act stably until things become clear.

He smiled naively, wiped away some saliva, and headed towards the hall exit.

Watching Lv Bai’s retreating silhouette, Liang Fuzhong showed a troubled expression.

"Poor child, seems like his condition is worsening again."

...

Exiting the Tri-Use Conference Hall, a wide, clean campus path came into view, with green lawns on either side, the sounds of birds chirping and insects buzzing could be heard if listened closely.

Looking far off, one could see the blue sky, with clouds rolling and unfolding.

Logically, such an environment should be refreshing and pleasing.

However, the longer Lv Bai looked, the deeper a sense of oppression he felt.

Why is this?

He didn’t fully understand, but fortunately, it’s modern society, and he could probably find a place to go online and learn more.

Students gradually came out after registering their information, forming a bustling crowd.

Among them, there was a freckled teenager holding a phone, staring at Lv Bai with a gloomy expression.

In Fan Ding’s view, the only reason he was eliminated so early was entirely because of Lv Bai.

Fan Ding took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, then quickly ran over to stop Lv Bai.

"I need to go to the bathroom. Come on, let’s go together?"

Lv Bai’s memory wasn’t bad, he surely recognized who this guy was.

Judging by the interactions in the death arena, this guy probably doesn’t have good intentions coming over now.

Based on this, Lv Bai agreed without hesitation, saying: "Then let’s go."

After all, his pockets were empty, neither phone-like gear nor money...

Lv Bai’s immediate agreement made Fan Ding inexplicably nervous, as if suddenly brought back to the time he was beaten up by Lv Bai in the death-duel confrontation.

Nonetheless, remembering he had also notified his good buddies, Fan Ding steadied himself: "Then follow me."

The campus was huge, and after winding around a bit, Fan Ding led Lv Bai to a secluded bathroom.

As they got closer, Fan Ding subtly slowed down, intentionally or unintentionally falling half a step behind Lv Bai.

It was notable that the tiles on the bathroom wall had become somewhat yellowed, with a thin layer of moss growing in the cracks.

A place where barely anyone would pass by all day.

As Lv Bai and Fan Ding arrived at the bathroom entrance one after the other, two boys with arms around each other emerged from behind the bathroom wall.

One of the students had a buzz cut, an ear stud, and was half a head taller than Lv Bai.

Once he came out, he bent down slightly like calling a dog: "Come on over, why stunned there?"
