Chapter 328: Chapter 206: Direct Provocation? (Two-in-one, 2/5)_1
Five minutes after Yan Yingyue and Shen Bingbing left, Chen Mo cleared all the monsters in the instance.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have successfully broken through the highest difficulty of this trial, and you have obtained the SSS-level title "Adversity Surpasser".]
[SSS-level Title - Adversity Surpasser]

[Title Introduction]: Granted to the trial-taker who can surpass themselves and break through limitations, even when surrounded by strong enemies and facing adversity!
"Damn, Mr. Mo, we’re rich! This title is so powerful!"
Having seen the rewards, Fang Datong excitedly grabbed Chen Mo and shook him.
Chen Mo, used to such things, didn’t show much reaction.
"You youngsters just haven’t seen enough of the world," Chen Mo joked.
As they spoke, the instance countdown had ended. With a flash of light before their eyes, the two had already left the instance.
The moment the two returned to the hall, all eyes immediately fell on them.
Fang Datong looked at the crowd’s strange expressions. Uh oh. Did we overdo it this time? Mr. Mo’s excuse probably won’t hold up.
Chen Mo, however, paid no mind to the crowd’s stares, acting as if he hadn’t seen a thing.
It was the students around them who couldn’t hold back and asked first.
"Student Chen Mo, how did you manage to clear all the way to the fiftieth stage? You know, even the five-star professionals were eliminated in the earlier stages."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "It’s simple..."
As he said this, everyone leaned in, listening intently.
Even the teachers, seated at a distance from the student area, possessed heightened senses due to their high All Attributes. Unless intentionally shielded, their attribute strength allowed them to hear clearly even from that distance.
Just as everyone was waiting for Chen Mo to continue, he suddenly said, "I just can’t reveal it, sorry."
After a collective moment of silence, a chorus of boos erupted.
Even Fang Datong was surprised. In the instance, Chen Mo hadn’t said this; he had planned to attribute this to the SSS-level reward he received in the previous exam.
But now he just comes out and says he can’t reveal it? Isn’t that practically a confession to the Aliens, like, ’I’m abnormal, come investigate me!’? It’s a dead giveaway!
"Well, I thought he was going to say something important, but it turned out to be this."
"That’s understandable. There are Aliens on Earth, after all. If someone genuinely has special abilities, they really shouldn’t reveal them."
"But that’s useless. Even if you don’t say anything, doesn’t that just make it more obvious? Everyone knows there’s something up with you. The Aliens will definitely still target you."
Chen Mo laughed, saying, "It’s fine. I’m not afraid of them targeting me; I’m afraid they won’t dare to come."
"WOW!"
He wouldn’t say a thing unless it was shocking. Chen Mo’s words thoroughly ignited the entire room this time.
No one understood what he was implying.
Isn’t being targeted by the Aliens just asking for death?
From the teachers’ perspective, they immediately connected his words to some secret arrangement the Academy Alliance had for Chen Mo.
The students, on the other hand, were utterly shocked, finding Chen Mo far too audacious. Anyone else with such outstanding abilities would hide and cultivate quietly, trying every means possible not to attract the Aliens’ attention. But this guy was something else entirely. He openly declared he wasn’t afraid of the Aliens targeting him, right in front of any who might be present in the room!
Among the crowd, there were undoubtedly Aliens present.
Such a statement was both incredibly daring and utterly suicidal!
At this moment, the Aliens hidden within the crowd were also quite taken aback, pondering what this kid truly meant. What on earth is this kid getting at? During the last college entrance exam, even before the overall anomaly occurred in the instance, we suspected this kid was bait released by the Academy Alliance. This time, his behavior is exceptionally strange again. If he merely behaved strangely, that would be one thing. But after emerging, he openly provokes our Yongming Star System in front of everyone? Isn’t that a bit too audacious! Is he genuinely bait set by the Academy Alliance, or is there really something wrong with him?
They immediately contacted Rangu.
"Oh? Openly provoking us? This young man is rather interesting." Rangu sneered upon hearing this. "What was the reaction of those around him?"
"The surrounding teachers, students, and everyone from the exam administration team were very surprised. As for the Academy Alliance Headquarters, we have no information. They haven’t dispatched anyone yet, have they?"
"Hmph! A mere two-star Skeleton Mage doing something like this in public? It would be truly bizarre if no one was pulling the strings from behind! Setting aside whether he actually possesses real strength, even if he does, can he guarantee he can evade assassination? Even fifth-transition experts can be momentarily controlled!"
"Sir, we’re already short on manpower. He’s a confirmed two-star professional. Even if there’s something unusual about him, it’s likely just his equipment or some items. Should we really bother with him?"
"Investigate his equipment."
"Impossible. This kid likely has a Chaos Stone on him. Attempts to perceive him result only in chaos; we can’t discern anything."
"Heh, then it’s no surprise. How could an ordinary, two-star Skeleton Mage whelp get his hands on a Chaos Stone? I’m afraid it was given to him by the higher-ups of the Academy Alliance to pull the wool over our eyes."
