The teacher's entire being was dumbfounded after hearing that.

What the heck?

Just turned eighteen?

He scrutinized Yasuo from head to toe, muttering to himself.

No way, buddy?

You look older than me, and you have the nerve to say you're eighteen?

He ranted inwardly, but outwardly maintained his professional composure, clearing his throat: "This... parent, you certainly like to joke."

"You don't believe me?" Yasuo raised an eyebrow.

"Everything I said is true."

As he spoke, Zhou Huai controlled Yasuo to pull out a brand new identification card from his pocket.

This item was rushed by Butler Fu overnight, pulling strings to find professionals to quickly process it.

The other party's craftsmanship was simply miraculous; it wasn't just a thin card.

Instead, Yasuo's information was secretly entered directly into Tianhai City's official population information System!

In the true sense of the word, 'this person exists'!

The teacher, half-believing, half-doubting, took the information card and verified it meticulously.

Age: Eighteen years old.

Name: Yasuo.

On the card, Yasuo's slightly weathered face was clearly visible.

The teacher repeatedly compared it, then looked at the age displayed on the card.

It really was eighteen years old!

He twitched the corner of his mouth and handed the ID card back to Yasuo.

He was filled with emotion, never expecting that someone so young could truly look so world-weary.

"Ahem," the teacher cleared his throat, "whether you are a student or a parent, fighting is strictly forbidden here!"

"This time it's a verbal warning. If you do it again, both of your Trial Tower challenge qualifications will be directly revoked!"

Lu Qi struggled to get up from the ground, clutching his stomach, his face green.

He pointed at Yasuo, furious: "He beat me up like this, and you're not going to do anything?!"

The teacher gave him a look as if he were an idiot: "If I didn't care about you, wouldn't you still be lying on the ground right now?"

"Stop talking nonsense! The Trial Tower is about to begin!"

"Walk straight to your right, and there are two female healing teachers. If you go now, you still have time."

Lu Qi was trembling with rage, his lungs almost exploding.

He glared at Yasuo venomously: "You just wait! I'll settle this score with you sooner or later!"

With that, he clutched his stomach and, under the disdainful gazes of those around him, squeezed through the crowd and scurried away.

Yasuo watched this scene, a subtle curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.

This teacher is quite interesting.

Evidently, he had already noticed Lu Qi's arrogant behavior earlier.

Perhaps, when he made his move, the teacher was watching coldly from the side, only stepping in to call a halt when he felt it was enough.

Thinking this, Yasuo politely said to the teacher: "Thank you, teacher."

The teacher glanced at him expressionlessly, lowering his voice to a level only they could hear:

"Well done."

After saying that, he turned and left as if nothing had happened.

The onlookers, seeing that there was no more show to watch, gradually dispersed and went about their business.

At this moment, Ye Xi walked gracefully over, a hint of gratitude on her beautiful face.

"Thank you for helping me just now."

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, merely replied coolly: "No need to thank me."

With that, he turned and walked straight to the other side, leaving behind an aloof figure.

In the future, his Clone was destined to cause all sorts of major commotions, attracting countless attention.

The more this was the case, the less he could get entangled with people close to him.

Lest someone connect the Clone to the main body through clues.

This was a form of protection for Zhou Huai himself, and for those around him.

Taking action to teach Lu Qi a lesson just now was indeed a bit rash.

But there was no helping it, who told that Lu Qi to be so annoying?

One could only say, he truly was a man of passion.

Ye Xi looked at Yasuo's retreating figure, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

This person... is so strange.

He helped her, yet he was so cold.

Soon, the time reached exactly eight o'clock in the morning.

The broadcast on the °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° plaza sounded punctually, notifying all students participating in the trial to prepare.

The Trial Tower was about to officially open!

Many students who hadn't yet formed full teams were still shouting hoarsely, making their final efforts.

"Four waiting for one, need a strong tank, guaranteed to clear the fifth floor!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Cute girl support seeking team, good at acting cute, yelling 666, can heal and buff!"

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, had no intention of teaming up.

Are you kidding me!

An S-Class unique hidden Profession, if he still needed to team up to clear this novice village-level Trial Tower?

That would be too disgraceful for an S-Class Professional!

Soloing is the romance of the strong!

As for Ye Xi, Zhou Huai inadvertently glanced at her in the crowd.

She seemed to have found her team.

A group of beautiful young girls, appearing to be a "Five Sisters Team," quite eye-catching in the crowd.

After waiting for less than another minute.

"Dong—!"

The ancient giant bell at the top of the Trial Tower was struck by an invisible force, emitting a deep and solemn chime.

Signifying the official beginning of this year's Trial Tower challenge!

The students who had been waiting for a long time began to surge towards the entrance of the Trial Tower like a tide, in an orderly manner.

Zhou Huai controlled Yasuo to follow leisurely within the flow of people.

It was soon his turn.

However, as soon as he reached the entrance, he was stopped by a female teacher responsible for maintaining order.

"Hello, parent." The female teacher's tone was still polite, "The Trial Tower does not allow parents to accompany participants in dungeon challenges. Please rest in the waiting area."

Yasuo: "..."

Zhou Huai was speechless and could only once again control Yasuo to pull out that "Eighteen-Year-Old Manly Man" ID card and hand it over.

The female teacher took it and, upon seeing it, her pretty face instantly flushed crimson, apologizing profusely in embarrassment before letting him pass.

Zhou Huai sighed helplessly in his heart.

The next Clone must be made to look younger!

Looking too old and being mistaken for a parent everywhere is too much of a hassle!

As his body stepped into the huge light gate emanating spatial fluctuations in front of the Trial Tower.

Yasuo's figure instantly vanished from his original spot.

The next second, he appeared in a dense primeval forest.

This was the first floor of the Trial Tower.

Immediately after, a majestic and ethereal voice sounded directly in his mind, broadcasting the rules of the Trial Tower:

【1. Every team or individual, upon entering the Trial Tower, will be teleported to a completely independent mirror space.】

【As long as all the abyssal beasts on the current floor are killed, the teleportation gate to the next floor will automatically open.】

【2. Starting from the tenth floor, in addition to the regular abyssal beasts, each floor will also spawn an elite BOSS whose strength far surpasses its peers.】

【At that time, the challenge difficulty will increase exponentially.】

【3. For each successful floor challenge, challengers can choose to temporarily exit the Trial Tower for rest. But please note, exiting midway and re-entering will incur additional challenge time.】

Rules announced.

【Trial Tower Challenge, officially begins!】

At the same time, the long-awaited System notification sound rang in Zhou Huai's mind.

【Ding-dong!】

【Quest triggered: Glory of the Trial Tower!】

【Quest Requirement: Successfully clear the Trial Tower, and claim first place on this challenge's leaderboard!】

【Quest Reward: Profession Orb Draw Opportunity X1!】
