A tall man came out with a hot woman in his arms, staring at Joe Elam with displeasure.

When he realized that Joe Elam was also staring at him, Karl became even more unhappy.

"What are you looking at?"

Joe Elam's expression became even stranger. If he remembered correctly, this Karl was one of the four Shield Warriors who participated in the battle competition at the Gods Academy back then.

Perhaps this was what they meant by ill-fated encounters. He had just arrived in the Western Alliance and was already facing this guy again. So Joe Elam responded with a full-bodied voice.

"What if I look at you?"

Karl was instantly enraged, and the woman in his arms began to fan the flames, her charming voice making Karl's bones feel weak.

"Karl, look at him! He's so arrogant, killing my brother and not even respecting you. You have to teach him a lesson, otherwise you'll lose face~"

Louise's eyes flashed with resentment as she looked at Joe Elam. Her only brother had died in Joe Elam's hands.

If her own strength wasn't too weak, she would have rushed up and killed Joe Elam with her own hands.

"Don't worry, he won't be leaving here standing today!"

Karl's face showed a fierce look, then a sinister smile crept up the corner of his mouth as he began to shout around.

"Everyone! Are you all very curious about who this person, who looks very unfamiliar, is?!"

"I'll tell you, he's the new member of the genius class, and also a freshman! Ward Lott, Tian'e!"

As soon as Karl finished speaking, there was an uproar around him.

Genius class!

That was a class that all the students of the Gods Academy yearned to enter!

There was even a saying that entering the genius class was the real entrance to the Gods Academy.

A freshman who had just entered the school could enter the genius class? Karl's words successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Countless people looked at Joe Elam with awe. A freshman who had just arrived had joined the genius class, which was enough to show how terrifying this Tian'e was.

But then Karl changed the subject, and his tone became a little strange.

"Amazing, right? And he's about to create history at our Gods Academy! Becoming the first genius class member to be expelled from the Gods Academy!"

Everyone looked at Karl with some confusion.

Once you entered the genius class, it meant that you no longer had to participate in the quarterly competition, so how could you be expelled?

After whetting everyone's appetite, Karl smiled coldly and continued.

"Because this Tian'e is a genius with a conversion ratio as high as 1 to 0.4!"

Karl deliberately emphasized the word "genius," as if afraid that others wouldn't hear it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Joe Elam.

The respectful gazes all disappeared without a trace, replaced by sarcasm and contempt.

"When did the admission standards for the genius class become so low? Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter the genius class?"

"That's right, I'm laughing to death. A conversion ratio of 0.4 can be called a genius? Then my conversion ratio is three times his. Wouldn't I be a super genius?"

"Don't flatter him. A conversion ratio of 0.4 is just a waste, okay? I'm curious how this kind of trash got into the Gods Academy, and even the genius class. What a joke!"

Countless people began to sneer and ridicule. Karl smiled as he watched this scene. The reason why these people hated Joe Elam was very simple, it was nothing more than jealousy.

Why could someone with a 0.4 conversion ratio enter the genius class, while they couldn't?

Karl knew these people's psychology very well. He not only wanted to defeat Joe Elam, but also wanted to ruin Joe Elam's reputation!

But when Karl looked at Joe Elam, he didn't see the panic, embarrassment, and frustration he wanted to see on Joe Elam's face. On the contrary, Joe Elam's expression was very calm.

He even pulled the Peacock Spear out of Balo's right leg with a calm face, and then aimed it at Balo's left leg.

"Damn it, you beast, stop it!" Karl shouted anxiously, but Joe Elam ignored him.

"Ah!!!"

Balo screamed again. There was a through-and-through wound on both legs. He didn't know which leg to cover. And Balo felt wronged.

If he wasn't in so much pain that he couldn't speak, he really wanted to say something to Joe Elam.

Brother, it was that Karl who led everyone to ridicule you. Why are you stabbing me? If you want to stab someone, go stab him!

Balo felt bitter, but Balo didn't say it.

"Very good! You have successfully aroused my anger."

Karl's eyes twitched. No one had ever dared to despise him so much.

He was going to make the arrogant Tian'e pay the price.

Karl pushed away the hot Louise in his arms, then raised his hand, and four shields flew up into the air, surrounding him.

No matter how low the conversion ratio was, being able to enter the genius class meant that this Tian'e must be a high-level player. Facing someone in the same realm as himself, Karl didn't underestimate his opponent and went all out from the start.

"Azure Dragon Chain Strike!"

The four shields formed a line, transforming into a sky-covering azure dragon that attacked Joe Elam. The sound of the dragon's roar made everyone's hearts tremble.

Karl's strength was even greater than when he participated in the battle competition before.

"With a conversion ratio of only 0.4, what are you going to use to fight me, Karl?"

Karl looked contemptuous. In his opinion, the man named Tian'e in front of him couldn't possibly fight him.

Joe Elam looked up at the ferocious azure dragon, but his eyes didn't change at all.

Although only a short month had passed since the end of the battle competition, so many things had happened in this month that Karl was simply not enough to look at in front of Joe Elam now.

If he couldn't use his full strength, Karl would probably be like Balo, unable to last even one round in front of Joe Elam.

If Karl had called Cody Jess and the other two to form a shield wall, it might have been a bit of a spectacle, but with only Karl alone...

Joe Elam slowly shook his head, then clenched his fingers. He didn't even use the Flowing Hundred Transformations Fist, but directly punched the azure dragon's head with an ordinary punch.

With a bang, in Karl's horrified eyes, Joe Elam's fist directly opened a big hole in the azure dragon's forehead.

Then Joe Elam pulled hard, and the entire azure dragon instantly turned to ashes, leaving only four shields flashing with metallic luster that fell to the ground with a clang.

"This is impossible!" Karl couldn't believe what he was seeing.

How could someone with a conversion ratio of only 0.4 be so strong? His conversion ratio was as high as 2.1!

The people around were also stunned. Was this really the strength that a 0.4 conversion ratio should have? Could it be that Karl had lied to them?

As expected, none of the people who came out of the genius class were simple. They looked at Joe Elam with awe again.

"What do you think? Still want to fight?"

Joe Elam picked up one of Karl's shields from the ground, then smashed it hard, and the shield immediately dented into a large pit.

Karl's Adam's apple couldn't help but roll up and down. With such a terrifying physical body, even if he could resist for a while, he would eventually be unable to defeat his opponent.

Thinking of this, Karl immediately grinned, became very kind, stepped forward, and put his arm around Joe Elam's shoulder.

"Brother Tian'e, I was just joking with you. I just wanted to have a good spar with you."

Joe Elam also smiled, looking at them with their arms around each other's shoulders and smiling, people who didn't know them would have thought they were good brothers.

"Karl~" Louise hugged Karl's arm and acted like a spoiled child.

If the two of them didn't fight, Louise wouldn't be happy. She had accompanied Karl for several nights, using all her tricks to serve Karl comfortably, and Karl had agreed to avenge her.

If Karl didn't fight, wouldn't she have been slept with for nothing?

Louise hadn't figured out the situation yet. She thought that Karl had suddenly had a good heart and decided to let Joe Elam go.

"Karl~ haven't you always wanted to go on land? If you help me cripple him, I'll fulfill your wish tonight~" Louise tempted Karl with her charming eyes.

But Karl remained unmoved, and even slapped Louise directly in the face with a backhand. Louise covered her swollen cheek, at a loss.

"Why did you hit me? Did you hit the wrong person?"

She didn't understand why Karl would suddenly slap her.

"Stupid woman, get out!"

Karl was furious when he saw this, and kicked her again.

Couldn't she see that he couldn't beat this Tian'e?

Karl's thinking was very clear. He would first pretend to be friendly with this Tian'e and call him brother, and then find a chance to take revenge in the future!

But this stupid woman didn't see the situation clearly, and even came to fan the flames! She was just a failure!

Karl glared at Louise fiercely, scaring Louise into shivering.

"Hey! Why are you like this? How can you hit a girl like that!" Joe Elam frowned, dissatisfied with Karl's behavior.

"Hehe, Tian'e, you're right~ I won't hit her next time. So our matter... is over?" Karl asked, rubbing his hands.

"Yes!"

Joe Elam smiled kindly.

"I, Tian'e, am also a person who likes to be kind to others. How about this? Kneel down and kowtow to me twice and call me daddy, and this matter will be settled."
