Chapter 29: Entrance Exam Part 4

Bruce hid his presence and noticed a group of candidates walking toward his location. When he looked closely at the group, he noticed an acquaintance, Jonathan Hopkins. The aura of Jonathan Hopkins indicated that he was at early stage Elemental Profound.

Thus, Jonathan was qualified to join as a lackey to a strong person. Unfortunately for the group, since Jonathan has joined them, they're doomed to fail. Bruce knew that the Hopkins family had a hand in his assassination 3 months ago. It was time for pay back.

"Give me all your cards if you want to live" Bruce dropped down from the tree and stopped the group from progressing. A beautiful girl with light blue hair stared at him intensely. She was the leader of this group, the princess of the water kingdom.

"Whoever you are, you have one chance to scram now, or you'll die right here." Meredith Lockwood, the princess of the water kingdom, released her middle stage Elemental Profound cultivation in an attempt to suffocate Bruce.  Seeing Meredith's intention, Bruce started his performance.

"Oh my god, I'm dying…"

"Urghh.. I can't breath…."

"Help me…."

Bruce pretended to be suffocated by her aura and acted so outrageously that Meredith's face turned red. Before she could even do anything, Bruce waved his hand and collided Meredith's aura with his. His aura was much more overwhelming than hers which pushed back the entire group.

"Impossible, you must be at least high stage Elemental Profound!"

"No one in the young generation has that cultivation!" Meredith recalled all the geniuses within the Alliance Kingdom and Dark Forces. No one below at the age of 13 reached high stage Elemental Profound. The exception could be Prince Edward, but it was impossible for someone like him to be hiding behind a mask.

"What are you talking about? I'm only peak stage Body Refinement" Bruce started to have some fun with the princess. It's been a while since he interacted with humans. Only speaking with the monkeys has deteriorated his mental significantly.

"Enough of your nonsense. Even if you're strong, you'll have to kill me to get my card" Meredith showed great pride in herself. She refused to give up even if the enemy is stronger than her.

"Everyone, get ready to attack. It's only one person, we still have a chance to win" Meredith routed her followers and prepared for the battle. Though the person in front of her is strong, Meredith didn't believe that he would be stronger than Prince Edward.

The news had been passed around the Forest of Solitude that Prince Edward alone annihilated an entire group led by Prince Waltz. Such feat is unimaginable and certainly not capable by the idiot in front of her.

"I admire your courage princess, but this battle won't last that long unfortunately" Bruce punched the ground with his bare hands and created a shock wave underneath the group.

"Seismic Waves"

Bruce had copied Rok's move from the previous battle. A fairly simple earth skill but very powerful against a group of people. Everyone fell down to the ground as the surface became imbalanced.

Seeing everyone fallen down, Bruce summoned a water twister to trap everyone. It takes approximately about 7 minutes before everyone runs out of air and faint. Bruce intended to trap everyone for that long so that they'll get knocked out automatically, creating less work for him.

"It won't end this easily you bastard!" Meredith somehow managed to break out of Bruce's water twister and pointed her sword at him. Bruce was briefly surprised by this but he still managed to dodge her attacks.

"I'm impressed princess, maybe we could be friends in the future" As Bruce was dodging Meredith's attack and maintain his water twister, he chatted with her.

"Screw you, I don't want to be your friend!" Meredith got extremely angry when she saw Bruce was toying with her. He could have easily fought her while maintaining the water twister, but he chose to dodge instead. No one had made such a mockery of her dignity in her entire life. She blasted water bullets at Bruce, but he dodged everything with ease.

Several minutes later, Meridith's group finally fainted, and Bruce stopped the water twister. He wasn't that black hearted to kill innocent people in the entrance exam. He turned around and looked at Meredith, instead of fear, all he saw was pure rage. He didn't understand why she was so angry at him.

"Sorry princess but the fun ends here" Bruce dashed in front of Meredith and struck her neck, causing her to faint immediately.

Bruce quickly took everyone's card and stored them inside his storage instead of tossing them away like he had planned. Ever since he saw Jonathan, Bruce changed his plan entirely. He picked up Jonathan and headed back to the monkey cave. Seeing that Bruce returned early, the monkey asked him why he returned so quickly.

"New mission for you Mr. Monkey. Make sure this guy remains unconscious for the next 2 days. You don't have to scout the area anymore"

The monkey gladly agreed to the new mission as it was extremely taxing to scout every day without being seen by humans. Bruce left the cave once again but with a much bigger smile.

'Heh, sorry everyone but all of you are getting robbed in this exam!'

Bruce flew around the forest looking for groups of candidates. It was particularly hard to find anyone at that moment since most of the candidates have been disqualified. As he jumped around the forest for one hour, he finally found a group. It was the group led by prince Waltz.

"Give me all your points and belongings if you want to live" Bruce dropped down from the tree and stopped the group from progressing.

Prince Waltz realized what was happening and turned deranged

"You think you can steal my points because I lost to Edward?"

"You think I'm that weak to be robbed by anyone?"

"You can go to hell you son of a bitch!" Prince Waltz screamed at Bruce and breathed fire at Bruce. The entire area got burnt down but Bruce was left unharmed. Behind his mask, Bruce's face was extremely cold.

'Today's your death anniversary, no one insults my parents and get away with it'

Bruce stopped messing around and punched Prince Waltz directly in the face. The prince flew hundreds of meters before stopping. The group went pale after seeing what happened.

"Please don't hurt us, here are our cards and storage rings" The group quickly surrendered everything to Bruce, but he didn't care.

Bruce teleported right in front of Waltz and punched him again in the face and then in the chest. He then kicked Waltz so hard that Waltz flew across the forest for hundreds of meters. Waltz puked out massive amount of blood and eventually fainted.

Bruce could have used any of his skills to knock out Waltz, but he wanted to do so with his own hands. Bruce wanted to kill Waltz right there but stopped as that would be a stupid thing to do. Killing a prince of a major kingdom would trigger a massive investigation and blow his cover.

He sighed and took Waltz card along with his storage ring. He transferred everyone's points to a card and left the vicinity leaving the group in shock.

Bruce finally calmed down after robbing more people. He thought that he was mature but turned out he wasn't. He was very close to blow his cover by almost killing Waltz. In hindsight, Waltz was just mad that he lost to Edward and took his anger out on Bruce. He shouldn't have lost his temper. It was a good lesson for him.

Everyone who were still in the Forest of Solitude began to spread out the news that a bandit was in the forest with them. The bandit is almost comparable to Prince Edward in strength and only cared about looting innocent people. Every weak person began to hide in the forest and stopped coming out altogether. They were praying for the exam to end quickly and having enough points to pass the exam.

As Bruce leisurely traveled across the forest searching for more victims, a fiery arrow shot at him with great speed and power. Bruce narrowly dodged the arrow which was aiming for his head. He turned around and saw a man holding a bow in his hands. Bruce smiled behind the mask because that man was the person he had been looking for all this time, Prince Edward.

"To what do I owe this pleasure your highness?" Bruce asked nonchalantly.

"Judging by your quick reaction to my arrow, you must be the bandit that I've been hearing about." Prince Edward stared at the kid with a mask on his face. On the outside, he showed an indifferent expression. But on the inside, he was extremely happy. He had finally found someone at his age who could challenge him.

"Bandit? I'm not bandit. I'm simply borrowing other people's loots to make ends meet" Bruce shamelessly replied.

"Tell me, what is your name and why are you hiding behind a mask?" Prince Edward wanted to know the name of his greatest opponent thus far.

"My face is simply too handsome for the world to see" Bruce's narcissistic side began to leak out.

"And for my name…."

"It is Jonathan Hopkins!"
