Without even shouting before dying, Henry Clark charged at David Parker, determined to get rid of this eyesore.

With a mysterious smile, David Parker knew that provoking his opponent meant his scheme had a twenty percent higher chance of success, so he unleashed his secret move that he had prepared in advance.

Under the Beast God's protection mode, Henry Clark's strength had increased at least fivefold. With overwhelming superiority, he was certain that David Parker would be defeated by a single move.

‘Instantly killing David Parker isn’t impossible. Even if the means aren’t exactly honorable, victory is what matters most.’ With this thought, Henry Clark himself saw nothing wrong with it.

Henry Clark had been beaten by David Parker countless times before, so this time he was determined to regain his dignity. Otherwise, after graduation, where would he find someone to challenge? Wouldn’t he be holding in this frustration for a lifetime?

David Parker remained calm and unhurried, even more composed than before. He kept both hands behind his back, facing Henry Clark's attack with ease.

‘You’re looking for death!’

After making his bold declaration, Henry Clark used even greater speed and more powerful ‘combo moves in succession’ to finally force David Parker into a corner.

‘Let’s see how you dodge this!’ Feeling triumphant, Henry Clark was about to seize victory when a sudden, powerful impact struck him from behind, catching him completely off guard and sending him tumbling awkwardly to the side.

With the energy shield in front of him, his back was naturally unprotected. As Henry Clark struggled to his feet, he saw the orange energy orb in David Parker's hand and was shocked.

‘David Parker!? You’ve reached the second level of fusion too?’

David Parker just smiled without answering. With a wave of both hands, the orange energy orb flew from his grasp, landing on the ground in front of Henry Clark and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing the several-meter-wide crater that suddenly appeared on the ground, Henry Clark didn’t say a word and turned to leave.

Being able to launch energy shockwaves at the second level of fusion was far beyond Henry Clark's current state. With his last advantage gone, there was no reason to stay and get beaten up by David Parker—he wasn’t a masochist, after all.

‘Heh heh!’

In truth, David Parker was secretly worried. He had only been fused for less than half an hour—how could he possibly have reached the second level of fusion? The arc energy shockwave just now had already drained most of his strength. If the fight continued, he would definitely be the one to suffer.

As a hobby, David Parker's obsession with ancient martial arts was well known. Nowadays, all kinds of information were easy to find, and David Parker had also studied the unique meditation techniques in classical martial arts and yoga.

Even after years of practice, all he could do was knock over a signboard with a punch from ten steps away, or maybe bend a spoon with psychic power.

But thanks to the significant boost in bioenergy after fusion, David Parker could barely manage to unleash an energy shockwave. Just now, he had sent an arc-shaped energy shockwave from behind, circling around to strike Henry Clark's back.

This attack wasn’t powerful enough to cause real harm. David Parker knew this, which is why he attacked from behind. If he had hit Henry Clark's energy shield head-on, it wouldn’t have had the same intimidating effect.

And now, everything was going exactly as David Parker had hoped.

Henry Clark left dejectedly, while Eric Morgan picked up Henry Clark's protective jacket and, along with Michael Bolton, followed after him. The other students who had come with Henry Clark also hurried after them. David Parker wagged his finger downward, making a gesture like a dog’s tail. He let out a leisurely whistle, fully expressing his contempt.

Although Henry Clark's group saw the gesture, since David Parker was the victor once again, none of them dared to argue. They could only swallow their humiliation. Soon, they all activated their personal anti-gravity flyers and shot up into the sky, flying away in disgrace.

David Parker looked around and noticed William Carter among the onlookers. He couldn’t help but grin.

‘William Carter.’

With a smile, David Parker greeted him, ‘Let’s go first! That way we can avoid trouble later.’

‘But I just sent a message—Brian Cooper and John Thompson will be here soon. I wanted to ask them to help you!’ William Carter said.

‘No need for help. Henry Clark won’t have a chance to cause trouble again.’

‘Then should we fly ahead and wait for them? Otherwise, if the instructor comes, we’ll definitely get lectured again.’ With that, William Carter followed David Parker eastward.

As they were flying, William Carter suddenly asked, ‘David Parker, what are you planning to do after graduation? Don’t you like virtual design? Are you going to join a company, or go to a design institute?’

‘I’m not planning on either.’

‘What? Then what are you going to do? Just sit around?’ William Carter asked in surprise.

‘Keep your voice down. I’m just not doing anything this year. I’m going to join the army. Just for a year.’

William Carter asked in confusion, ‘Why? Even though the government requires every citizen to have basic military self-defense training, and you need that certificate when your work ability is assessed, you can do the training part-time after you start working. Besides, it’s not really mandatory—most people don’t even care about it.’
