Chapter 82: The Rubber Fruit Ability User Appears!

Ben's nine teammates, besides Leo, were divided between Class A and B, each accounting for half. Speaking of which, the students from both classes actually fought each other to secure these eight spots. They really fought! It's no exaggeration at all. Everyone believed that in the third level of the Energies of Human Realm, following Leo would guarantee an easy win. And the result of an easy win was over 300 Spirit Energy Points! Who could resist that?

For the freshmen, 300 Spirit Energy Points could significantly improve their strength. At that time, they would be able to face the fourth level of the Energies of Human Realm with more confidence. So everyone was vying for it. Even Class B wanted to join in the fun...

Later, Professor William and Old Philips were forced to hold a martial arts competition in each of the two classes. Whichever team won would get the spots. The winning team from Class B was a combination of two boys and two girls. And the strongest team from Class A was actually Joe Root, Hales, and others.

After the official class change last time, Class A was full of talented students with outstanding abilities. The talents of Joe Root, Hales, and others could only barely rank in the top ten. Their ability to win was entirely because they had laid a good foundation in the first two levels of the Energies of Human Realm. The first time was an A-level mission rating, and the ranking was very high. The second time was also an A-level mission rating!

The Energies of Human Realm works like this: the better the foundation you lay at the beginning, the stronger your strength becomes, and the easier it is to adventure in the later stages. Eventually, a virtuous cycle is formed...

Speaking of which, there were far more than just the three classes of freshmen from Chicago University who wanted to be Leo's teammates in the third level of the Energies of Human Realm. Even other schools had their eyes on Leo. Many principals of Transcendent High Schools wanted to stuff one or two students into the team led by Leo. The most outrageous was Southtee!

In order to stuff their students into Leo's team, they even invited leaders from the Ministry of Education to act as lobbyists. The vice-principal of Chicago University couldn't resist at all and immediately reported the news to the principal. The "Undying Bird" principal was supporting the front line at the time. Upon hearing this, he made a phone call to the Ministry of Education and scolded the leaders inside, suppressing the matter...

Top experts are terrifying!

Anyway, the team was finalized. However, this was the first time that ten people had gathered together like today. It was just past nine o'clock in the morning. Ben arrived at a lounge as agreed and saw that Leo and the others had already arrived early.

"Brother Ben is here? Quickly sit down!" It was Joe Root who spoke. This kid's pre-arrogance and post-respectfulness were really a bit unaccustomed. It seemed that Leo's two consecutive SSS-level mission evaluations had completely made this kid lose his mind to compete, and coupled with the fact that he was asking for help, his attitude was so polite. But Ben still preferred his unruly appearance...

"Brother Ben, sit here, the seat is reserved for you!" The position Joe Root pointed to was next to Leo. The reason he could be so polite to Ben was actually because of Leo's influence. Who made this kid liked by Leo?

After Ben sat down, Joe Root said again, "The teacher asked us to gather here in advance to get to know each other, so let's all introduce ourselves next! It's best to talk about our talents as well. Of course, Brother Ben and Sister Leo don't need to introduce themselves. You are school celebrities, everyone knows you."

After a pause, Joe Root continued, "I'll go first. My name is Joe Root, and my talent is the werewolf bloodline. After transforming into a werewolf form, I can increase strength, speed, and defense, as well as self-healing ability. However, this transformation consumes a lot of energy, and I can't last long at the moment…"

After Joe Root finished speaking, he sat down. Hales, sitting next to him, consciously stood up.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hales, and my talent is the mutant 'Colossus' gene. I can steel my body. After steeling, I can greatly increase my defense and also increase some strength, but it will reduce speed…"

Then it was the next one!

"Hello everyone, I am Styen, and my talent is the Paramecia-type Bomb-Bomb Fruit ability. I can turn part of the objects I touch into explosives to attack the enemy. Currently, my attributes are not high, and the maximum destructive power of making explosives is probably equivalent to a grenade…"

"Hello everyone, I am Rickleton, and my talent is the Paramecia-type Slice-Slice Fruit ability. I can turn any part of my body into a blade, and also make my skin hard, increasing defense. Currently, my strength is relatively low, and I can only turn my arms into blades…"

Joe Root's three teammates finished their introductions one after another. Next, it was the turn of the four people from Class B. The first to speak was a woman.

"Hello everyone, I am Althea, and my talent is the Paramecia-type Hana Hana Fruit ability. I can make flowers bloom on any tangible object within my sight, growing my hands, including on the enemy! However, my strength is too weak, and I can only cause some small troubles for the enemy…"

"Hello everyone, my name is Duplessis, and my talent is the mutant 'Ghost' gene, which has the ability to teleport instantly and can teleport people, but cannot pass through walls. Each teleport cannot exceed ten meters, and each teleport will cause me to have a strong sense of nausea, requiring me to take a break…"

"Hello everyone, I am Shen Nana, and my talent is the Zoan-type Snake-Snake Fruit, Anaconda form. After I transform, my strength will greatly increase. Once I entangle someone, without 300 points of strength attributes, don't even think about breaking free and escaping…"

"Hello everyone, my name is Duminy, and my talent is the Paramecia-type Gomu Gomu no Mi ability. It can turn any part of the body, including internal organs, skin, teeth... into a rubber form, stretching freely… By the way, Professor Adore said that my fruit ability is very rare, and it may hide some big secrets. There are currently only three recorded cases, and I am the fourth. In terms of rarity, my fruit ability is comparable to Brother Ben's Kryptonian bloodline, with only one more case than the Kryptonian bloodline…"

Hearing Duminy's words, everyone just smiled. What hidden big secret, this kind of talk is almost fooling ghosts. Only Ben glanced at Duminy in surprise. Professor William was right; the Rubber Fruit does hide a big secret. Once this kid can cultivate to awaken the Rubber Fruit ability and transform into the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika form, then it will be amazing...

However, Ben was only surprised. His Great Superman physique is even more impressive! What's more, how difficult is it to awaken the fruit? It's not certain whether this kid named Duminy can do it!

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Joe Root took out some booklets and distributed them to everyone. He said while distributing, "This is the information about the strong freshmen that the school has collected for us. Everyone should take a look first, and it's best to remember it, because in the next Energies of Human Realm, we are very likely to encounter these strong people."

Upon hearing this, everyone solemnly took the booklets and immediately flipped through them. Out of curiosity, Ben also flipped through it. Then, he actually saw a lot of powerful talents. For example, from Sanford University, there is a Logia-type Magu Magu no Mi ability user, and this person has received one A-level and one S-level excellent mission evaluation in the previous two levels of the Energies of Human Realm. From the Great Bear Country side, there is a new student whose ability is the Logia-type Goro Goro no Mi ability user. This guy is even more outstanding. He has obtained S-level mission evaluations in the previous two levels of the Energies of Human Realm!

From the Ah San side, a powerful mutant gene has appeared. The ability is Storm Girl's weather control. He can now create strong hurricanes and can also fly a certain distance. From the Federal Country side, a strong seed has also appeared. The other party's talent is a green ring...

This year's freshmen are truly a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
