The golden cloud moved swiftly, and soon it was hovering above Celestial High School.
The golden cloud slowly descended at the entrance of Celestial High School.
Old Wang addressed the other two, "You guys take these kids and arrange the dormitories. It's the same few places every year, you know that. I need to have a good talk with this young fella."
Saying this, Old Wang didn't care what the other two thought; he grabbed Su Mo and walked directly into the security room.
With a thud, the doors and windows were shut tight.
The two who had intended to eavesdrop from outside shook their heads helplessly and led their family juniors deeper into the campus.
Inside the small security room, Old Wang sat down unceremoniously, added a few goji berries to his insulated cup, then turned to Su Mo and said:
"Go on, speak up."
Su Mo was puzzled, "Say what?"
Two veins on Old Wang's forehead bulged, and his hand, holding the goji berries, paused slightly.
[Bang!]
The insulated cup was slammed heavily onto the table by Old Wang, "You punk, causing such a big scene, and you're asking me what to say!"
"Are you asking about me soloing the hell-level Wild Boar Forest dungeon, or about killing that Golden level guy?"
Old Wang was silent for a while, rummaged in his pocket for a pack of cigarettes, lit one, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. At this moment, his mood seemed to calm down gradually.
He took another heavy drag and said, "We'll talk about the Wild Boar Forest later. For now, explain how you killed the old man from Silver Lotus Mountain, the Golden level one you axed to death."
Su Mo paused, gathered his thoughts while reminiscing about the South Sea, and then replied:
"At that time, the people from the Silver Wolf Union were giving me trouble, so I axed them to death. Then this old man suddenly appeared and ambushed me from behind.
A combo almost sent me to the center of the earth, but I seized an opportunity to get close and took him down with two strikes."
[Crack!]
The insulated cup in Old Wang's hand was squeezed out of shape, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, resembling the way he pretended to have a heart attack before.
"I'm asking you for the process!"
Su Mo was puzzled, "Is this not the process?"
"I meant, how did you survive the Golden level attack and how did you break through his defense!
Even though that guy was a mage, his defense wasn't particularly strong, but his defense attributes definitely exceeded 2000 points. With some defensive equipment, his defense attributes were at least over 2500 points.
And as a mage, his spirit attributes even exceeded ten thousand points. How did you manage to survive under his attack!"
Upon hearing this, Su Mo was shocked. He didn't expect that the old man he had killed earlier had a single attribute exceeding ten thousand points.
Is the Golden level really this strong!
Seeing Su Mo remain silent, Old Wang spoke again:
"This matter is very serious. If you don't explain it clearly, the consequences will be severe, so consider it carefully."
"There's nothing much to consider. The ability I awakened allows me to ignore any damage for a short period, so no matter how high his Spiritual Series attributes are, they don't matter to me!"
Upon hearing this, a slight tremor passed through Old Wang's hand holding the insulated cup, but his facial expression remained very stern: "Then how did you break him!"
"I have a skill, obtained from defeating the Wild Boar Forest boss, that allows me to instantly unleash triple strength."
Old Wang furrowed his brows, "Triple strength, so what? Your current Strength Attribute is barely 200 points. Even tripling that is just 600 points.
Trying to break through a Golden Professional with 2000 defense points using only 600 strength points, are you treating me as senile?"
"My current Strength Attribute is 1008 points."
Su Mo's words were calm, but such calm words were like a bolt of lightning on flat ground, startling Old Wang so much that he couldn't hold his insulated cup steady, spilling hot water over himself.
Ignoring his water-stained clothes, Old Wang stood up in shock:
"What did you say! A 1000-point Strength Attribute! Are you sure what you're saying is true!"
Su Mo nodded calmly, but Old Wang approached him and said, "Here, hit me with all your strength!"
Hearing this, Su Mo felt a sense of déjà vu, like he had heard this before not too long ago.
Oh, it was probably from Teacher Wang. No wonder they're father and son, their ways are cut from the same mold.
Seeing Su Mo delay, Old Wang impatiently said, "When I tell you to hit, just hit. What's with the hesitation, are you not a man,
do you think you can harm me? Although I'm a Close Combat Series Professional, my Defense Attribute exceeds 8000,
Even if you use skills, you might not be able to break my defense!"
Hearing this, Su Mo was shocked again. This bald Old Wang is that tough!
His Defense Attribute even exceeded 8000, yet he's not a Defense Professional.
"I know you're confused, but for now, you should show me your strength, and then I'll decide whether to tell you something."
With these words, Su Mo no longer hesitated, swinging his arm and throwing a punch.
Old Wang took the hit with his body, yet there was no sign of any damage, proving just how terrifyingly strong this old man was.
Outwardly, Old Wang remained calm, but internally, he was overwhelmed.
An 8th level with 1000 in Strength Attribute and the ability to ignore all damage for a short time.
Even the legendary Chu Overlord Chu God couldn't achieve such might at this level.
Could it be that Celestial City is destined to produce a powerhouse surpassing Chu God!
Despite such thoughts, his expression remained calm, and Old Wang sat back, watching Su Mo's astonished eyes with a light smile:
"Are you wondering why there's such a huge gap within the Golden level?"
Su Mo nodded without speaking.
"You need to understand that the Golden level is the level with the greatest disparity in strength,
even the most ordinary Professional, after reaching the Golden level, will inevitably have at least one attribute breaking ten thousand,
and when they reach Golden Peak, their attributes will multiply by ten, but this is still too early for you,
But let me tell you, don't think that by killing a Golden level, you truly possess Golden level strength.
So if you encounter a Golden level in the future, it's best to avoid them,
Your Defense Ability isn't invincible; a short period is just a short period,
Once the enemy waits out your defense time, cutting you down is just a matter of moments. Do you understand!"
Su Mo nodded, but inside, he wasn't fazed; he believed his ability truly could only defend for a short time.
Seeing Su Mo nod, Old Wang smiled with satisfaction: "You've caused quite a stir this time. Before the college entrance exams, you're not allowed out of the city,
and I hope you won't break through to level 10 before becoming the top scorer. This is greatly beneficial to you!"
Why is Old Wang so sure Su Mo will become the top scorer.
With the strength this kid has shown, if he doesn't become the top scorer, Old Wang would pick a fight with the exam invigilators.
This must be some serious corruption!!!
...
Walking on the road to the Great Xia Commerce, Su Mo was contemplating what kind of skills he needed.
While also pondering what Old Wang's last words to him could mean.
"Sir, may I ask what you're looking to purchase?"
