Chapter 9 The first place winner was actually a garbage collector.
"Mimi...Mimi!!"
Ma Hongjun's blatant threats are indeed very uncomfortable.
Mimi clenched her felt-like little fists, raised her eyebrows, stared intently at Ma Hongjun with her big round eyes, and even bared her teeth and hissed at him, looking exactly like a fierce cat with its fur standing on end.
"Hehe, this little guy is quite fierce."
Ma Hongjun stood with his arms crossed, watching Mimi's little antics, feeling nothing at all, and immediately burst into laughter.
"But no matter how fierce it is, it's just a clawless kitten! Hahaha..."
"You fat bastard, I've put up with you for far too long!"
A cold voice suddenly rang out, filled with undisguised impatience, "Do you want to try my baseball bat again?"
Ma Hongjun, that clown, is always jumping around in front of Xiao Huimao and Mimi.
Not only was Mimi annoyed, but Little Gray Fur was also holding back his anger.
She had only wanted to stay quietly to the side, waiting for the list to be revealed and for the generous reward to be received.
Once she takes the top spot, no one will dare to underestimate her or bother her anymore.
But this Ma Hongjun is really infuriating. He provokes me time and time again, he's really pushing his luck.
How could Little Gray Hair, who always liked to solve problems with a baseball bat, possibly tolerate this any longer?
She picked up the baseball bat behind her with her back hand and slung it over her shoulder with a thud.
He stood ramrod straight, looking every bit like a street thug, his cold eyes sweeping over Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun was just as arrogant and overbearing as ever.
But when he saw the baseball bat on Little Gray's shoulder and those cold, emotionless eyes, his body trembled violently.
The scene of being brutally beaten to the ground by Little Gray Hair that day flooded back into my mind like a tidal wave.
He subconsciously took two steps back, and the arrogance on his face instantly faded by more than half.
However, having already provoked Little Gray, how could they possibly get away so easily?
Little Gray Hair pushed off with his feet, and his body shot out like an arrow.
The baseball bat in his hand whistled through the air as it slammed into Ma Hongjun's stomach.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
Ma Hongjun was like a baseball that had been hit and sent flying, his body arcing straight up into the sky.
"Mimi! Mimi!"
Seeing Ma Hongjun being sent flying, Mimi jumped up and down with joy, clapping her little hands and looking utterly delighted.
"Fatty!"
Seeing Ma Hongjun being sent flying in one move, the Shrek Academy students were immediately displeased.
Flander watched Ma Hongjun fly higher and higher in the sky, fearing that the kid would fall and end up with a disability.
He quickly leaped into the air and caught Ma Hongjun safely.
As the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, Dai Mubai was furious when he saw his brother being bullied. He strode up to Little Gray Hair and stood in front of him with a fierce look in his eyes.
Even the usually composed Tang San slowly clenched his fists, his soul power surging around him, silently exerting pressure on the little gray hair.
He was determined to win and wanted to take first place on the list.
But when he finally saw that he was only ranked third, the anger and resentment in his heart were about to burst forth.
This little gray-haired guy actually dared to jump out and provoke the Shrek Seven Devils at this time; he's practically asking for death!
Although Oscar has little fighting ability, he is the best at using someone else's power to intimidate others.
He swiftly summoned two sausages, holding one in each hand as weapons.
He scurried up behind Dai Mubai, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws at the little gray-haired boy, putting on a fierce look.
However, not all people at Shrek Academy are like that.
Zhu Zhuqing remained aloof, merely snorting before turning her head away, too lazy to get involved in this farce.
Ning Rongrong stood to the side with her arms crossed, watching the show. Her red lips parted slightly, her tone laced with a hint of teasing:
"You three grown men bullying a little girl, you're really something."
Xiao Wu frowned and quickly stepped forward, trying to pull Tang San back.
After all, they knew Ma Hongjun's character all too well.
He'd casually flirt with other girls and get beaten up—it was commonplace for him, and he deserved it.
Of course, if Ma Hongjun were to flirt with a girl and get beaten up by the men in the opposing team, the Shrek Seven Devils would definitely stand up for him.
But the little gray-haired creature in front of him was clearly all alone.
This kind of bullying is really ugly.
However, they didn't need to worry about Little Gray at all.
She raised the baseball bat on her shoulder, casually glancing at the three people in front of her. When her gaze landed on Dai Mubai, she suddenly remembered something.
"You must be the tenth one mentioned on the celestial screen, right?"
Little Gray's tone was light and airy, filled with disdain.
"Perfect, let me see just how weak you really are, someone who's made it onto the genius list."
Upon hearing this, Oscar and Tang San, who were standing next to Dai Mubai, immediately darkened their expressions.
Dai Mubai is indeed ranked tenth, but one of them is ninth and the other is third!
The broadcast on the screen lasted for so long, especially about Tang San. Although he was ranked third, he was introduced for more time than Qian Renxue, who was ranked second!
This little gray-haired guy is clearly ignoring them on purpose!
Tang San immediately stepped forward, his face terribly grim, his voice icy and chilling:
"I never fight nobodies."
"You were able to send that fat guy flying, so you're probably not weak. State your name!"
The gray-haired boy put his hands on his hips, slightly raised his chin, and spoke with extreme disdain:
"You'll find out my name soon enough!"
Tang San snorted lightly, and without wasting any words, began to introduce himself, his tone filled with arrogance:
"Tang San, remember this name."
"I am ranked third on the genius list. You will be the first person I defeat after all my soul rings have been upgraded for eight thousand years!"
As soon as he finished speaking, blue light surged around Tang San, and his martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, was suddenly released.
Four spirit rings, two purple and two black, swirled around him like waves, emanating a powerful aura.
"Oh, so you're that little punk."
Little Gray nodded as if he suddenly understood, but his tone remained completely calm.
She had never really paid attention to this person before; if Tang San hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have known him at all.
However, in Little Gray's eyes, a mere third place was no different from being a nobody.
"Hey, little beauty!"
Oscar felt slighted and immediately jumped out to make his presence known, afraid of being relegated to the background.
"Brother, I'm the ninth in line!"
...
"That little gray-haired guy is so unlucky! He actually offended three geniuses at once!"
"Only someone as dim-witted as her would dare to do something like this, right? Never associate with her again; she's really not very bright, daring to mess with even geniuses!"
"Is this the power of a genius? Two purple spirit rings and two black spirit rings, my god, how did they do that!"
The onlookers were immediately abuzz with excitement upon seeing this, and discussions erupted one after another.
Beyond surprise, there was more mockery towards the little gray-haired girl, who was simply overestimating herself and trying to stop a chariot with her bare hands.
The others dared not take a single step forward.
After all, Dai Mubai, Tang San, and Oscar are not people to be trifled with.
Anyone who dares to meddle will only have their bad luck if they get beaten up.
Since these three individuals are all on the list of geniuses, they are bound to be highly sought-after by various powerful forces.
Even if they beat someone up, they won't be condemned at all.
Little Gray Fur stood still, his figure as majestic as a pine tree, as he looked at the three menacing and relentlessly pressing people in front of him.
He still held the baseball bat lazily in his hand, showing no fear whatsoever on his face.
The people around her looked at her with pity, sympathy, and undisguised mockery.
They all thought that Little Gray was definitely going to be in trouble this time.
At this point, even if they knelt down and begged for mercy, these geniuses might not actually be able to bring themselves to harm this seemingly weak and delicate girl, out of pride.
But this little gray guy, instead of running away, acted like he was the boss, really thinking he could take on three people on his own?
Just as Tang San's lips curled slightly and a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, finally able to vent his resentment.
The sky above suddenly burst forth with a light more dazzling than ever before!
The commotion was so great that it was earth-shattering.
Perhaps it's because the winner is about to be revealed!
This sudden change caused Tang San and his companions to stop in their tracks.
They all looked up in unison, their eyes fixed on the subtitles in the sky.
Above the sky, golden light shimmered, and a name slowly emerged.
[Top Ten Young Geniuses of Douluo Continent!]
[TOP1: Star!]
[Age: 2.5 years old!]
At the same time, a gigantic figure slowly materialized in the sky.
The man had dazzling long gray hair and a pair of cold, indifferent golden eyes that looked down at all living beings.
With a dignified face and imposing aura, he stood there like a living god, exuding domineering power!
When they saw that face on the sky, everyone guarding the gates of Tiandou City gaped in disbelief.
They all turned their heads in unison to look at the little gray-haired boy holding a baseball bat with an invincible expression on his face.
Exclamations of surprise rose and fell in waves.
"impossible!"
"How could the number one spot be held by this trash collector?!"
