Forty Millenniums of Cultivation, page 22
Zhou Yin was graceful and elegant, lacking completely the air of arrogance. He said with a completely cordial laugh, “We have made much improvement in our education’s quality this year for Crimson Nimbus Second, producing some good saplings. Speaking of which, I’ve heard that a Helian Lie and also a Si Jiaxue are some decent new talent. Oh, that’s right! I remember that Helian Lie is Board Member Helian’s only son, right?”
“Yes. I never thought Elder Zhou would know of my unaccomplished son!” Helian Ba’s entire face glowed red, shining with a smile.
“As long as one has talent, I would remember them without a doubt. The future of the Crimson Nimbus Guild belongs to them~! Alrighty then! It’s exactly 9 o’clock! Begin the games!”
With a wave of his hand, Zhao Yin’s face suddenly turned serious with an expression like an unapproachable stranger; he had entered into his business mode, changing into a different person entirely.
The hour of intense battle — officially begins!
A sharp, beautiful bell rang throughout campus. A thousand third-year students, with bloodshot eyes, leapt out from various nooks and crannies within the school buildings. Each of these students had their head lowered, looking at their micro crystal processors.
Soon, they discovered the 10 ticket bearers among the crowd — their targets.
“Found one. He’s over there! Eliminate him quick!”
The 10 seeded competitors were chosen at random, so their strengths weren’t necessary strong and oppressive. With a blood-curdling shriek, they were engulfed by the tide of people.
Several dozen medical flying shuttles circled endlessly in the sky to be readily available at all times. Doctors and nurses from the nearby major hospitals were temporarily hired and stationed on these flying shuttles. They, along with several healing-specialized cultivators, would put an end to any accidental mishaps from occurring.
Since the fighting will last until three in the afternoon before coming to an end, the students who emerged first weren’t necessarily the ones with the strongest power. For example, practically none of the students of the Important Class has made a move so far. They rested with closed eyes in incomparable luxury within their classroom.
The students currently participating in the fighting were doomed with no chance of holding onto a ticket until 03:00 PM.
However, that was not a problem since the school had something to motivate these students. They specifically set up incentives of every level. As long as a student seizes a ticket for a moment, no matter if it's 5 or 10 minutes, they will receive a prize.
And so, these students of the Ascending and Common Class also fought with their lives at stake. Even though their power weren’t that special, the hair-raising rage and blood-bath attitudes they exhibited caused the scenes of fighting to be quite lively.
“AHH! DIE!!”
A student who held a ticket in his pocket leapt down the stairwell and was trampled with a kick to the sternum by another student hiding in the corner, who then seized the ticket away.
And once this student discovered that there was nobody in his surroundings, he connivingly hid himself away into the girl’s restrooms. Only to be raided by a male student who had hidden himself in ambush at an earlier time within a bathroom stall. The admission ticket changed hands again!
Similar scenes played out in the various nooks and corners around campus. Every now and then, heads were broken and blood flowed, muscles snapped and bones fractured. These injured students were lifted into the medical treatment shuttles.
Within the third VIP lounge, the VIPs commented one after another on the scenes displayed on the giant hologram.
“This student’s speed is very fast! His reactions are extremely quick! The only problem is his attacking power; it’s a little bit weak. Otherwise, he may be able to enter into the Important Class!”
“I’ve heard that Crimson Nimbus Second has, over the years, introduced several ex-military combat experts to their school. You all look! When their students fight, they bring forth a hint of military killing techniques. It looks likes Crimson Nimbus Second has large ambitions. Who knows what eruptions they will bring at this year’s university exams!”
The second VIP lounge.
Behind a placard written with the words ‘Phoenix Ridge Second’ was a person in deep sleep. This person snored loudly, covered under a school uniform that permeated with the air of alcohol.
To the side of him, a young female teacher from Phoenix Ridge Second wrinkled her brow. She prodded him without batting an eyelid and said, “Big Dong, you pestered the school cause you wanted to come over and watch the fight. Why is it that once you came here, you started sleeping again, snoring loudly?”
A voice filled with discontent grumbled out from beneath the uniform. After some time, a puffy, swollen eye opened up and a fat face snaked out. The head was oily and the face covered with makeup — it was clear that this person engaged in excessive debauchery. He squinted his eyes in the fashion of a cat and gazed indifferently at the hologram. He yawned once again, digging back under the uniform.
Zheng Dongming’s voice came lazily out from under the uniform, “Don’t be noisy. The person I want to see still hasn’t appeared yet.”
“Are you waiting for Si Jiaxue? Or are you waiting for Helian Lie?” asked the young female teacher.
A chuckle came from under the uniform. “If it’s just those two, why would I ever crawl up from my bed with 7 beauties on it and come to this damnable place?”
The young female teacher asked baffled, “Si Jiaxue and Helian Lie are both widely known to be Crimson Nimbus Second’s strongest. If even they don’t have the qualifications to attract you here, then who are you waiting to watch?”
The uniform was still for a moment. A fat wily hand suddenly extended out, groping towards beneath the young school teacher’s skirt. The female teacher’s body trembled with a shiver, and she nibbled with her pearly white teeth. But, she didn’t resist.
As Zheng Dongming groped, he spoke lazily, “The one I’m waiting for is not the strongest, but the fiercest!”
Chapter 36: Li Yao Enters the Field! |
Noon at 12 O’clock.
The second batch of people with average strength had spent all their energy fighting. Practically half of these people retired from injuries, lacking the ability to continue fighting.
Only now did the students of the Important Class leave their classroom. They warmed up their bodies and started to join in on the scramble.
They entered the field, causing the intensity of fights to increase by several factors. 10 admission tickets fell quickly into the hands of the Important Class of students. The battlefield had turned into a civil war amongst the Important Class.
01:30 PM. Aside from Helian Lie and Si Jiaxue, all the students of the Important Class took the field!
02:10 PM. Si Jiaxue slowly opened her beautiful eyes and entered the fray!
02:15 PM. The king of Crimson Nimbus Second, Helian Lie, walked out of the classroom, donning a domineering aura like a suit of armor, officially entering the war!
Helian Lie and Si Jiaxue had true strength that was clearly above at a different level than the other students. The gap between them was something that could not be closed simply by relying on the dominance of numbers.
In under a minute, these two each seized an admission ticket. Soon after, they fended off an assault from an encirclement of 7-8 students, even beating six students straight to the medical shuttles.
So therefore, there was no one who dared to try seizing the tickets held in their embrace…. In the end, there were still 8 other admission tickets. It wasn’t necessary to seek death under the hands of these two monsters.
“Helian Lie, Si Jiaxue… The last time Crimson Nimbus Second produced such great saplings was 3-5 years ago!” The Crimson Nimbus Guild Elder’s face, which had been fixed in a serious expression for half a day, revealed a faint trace of a smile at last.
“How boring. I should have known they would only come out now. I wasted my entire morning for nothing!” In the second VIP lounge, Zheng Dongming lay comfortably on the plump and firm thighs of the female teacher, sleeping. Occasionally, he would lift his head to glance at the hologram. Giving a smirk, he soon quickly lowered his head back to sleep.
02:30 PM. In the depths of Crimson Nimbus Second, within the school’s warehouse, in the middle of an old Cultivation Field.
Li Yao’s two index fingers were stabbed deeply and firmly into the wooden floor. His head was to the ground and his feet in the air. Using only the strength of his index fingers, he was doing a handstand with perfect form.
The two feet, separated to the extreme, did not have shoes on them. With toes as nimble as his fingers, he lifted a dumbbell unwaveringly with each foot. The weight of each dumbbell was 100 kg!
“*ZZZzzzz...*ZZZZzzz...”
While under this state, Li Yao’s nose emitted utterly strange snores. His pair of eyes were slightly closed and a bit of saliva trickled from the corner of his mouth — he was actually sleeping!
Suddenly…
“BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!” The micro crystal processor on his wrist vibrated violently and alarmed.
With a flicker of his body, “Bang! Bang!” sounds rang out, like two sparks of flint flying through the darkness. Something was sent flying into a wall that was over thirty meters away, creating another pair of loud “Booms!”.
The two 100 kg dumbbells were actually sent flying over 30 meters by Li Yao with a kick, deeply lodging themselves in the wall.
The entire face of the wall was full of holes. These were all craters left behind from a bombardment of dumbbells. The surface was like that of a meteor; it was a devastating sight.
“Little monster, I’ve already lifted the restrictions of ‘Give Up’. Quickly remove those clothes and join in on the fighting. You still have half an hour!” laughed Sun Biao.
“You don’t have to remind me. How annoying,” yawned Li Yao. He scratched his shaggy bird’s nest hair and walked to the exit indifferently.
02:32 PM. Li Yao emerged within the campus. He walked with sleepy and drowsy eyes to the student assembly grounds where the battle was taking place. His image quickly appeared on the giant holograms in the VIP lounges.
Everyone felt curiosity towards this last student entering the field.
According to normal practice, such students who enter the field at such a late stage had the utmost confidence in their true strength. But all the cultivation geniuses of Crimson Nimbus Second have clearly already appeared on stage. Who the hell is this bastard? Could it be a weakling student who has already given up on the competition?
In the second VIP lounge.
Dong Zengming abruptly jumped up from the female teacher’s thighs. His entire self turned incomparable sharp in a flash. He was like a war blade extracted from a drinking house. The air of alcohol dispersed, giving birth to an air of murder.
“He’s the one you wanted to watch? Will he be even more ferocious than Helian Lie?” The female teacher was absolutely astonished. It had been a long time since she seen Zheng Dongming act so serious.
“Helian Lie is obviously stronger than him. But If I had to choose an opponent, I would rather just choose Helian Lie. I wouldn’t want to choose this guy.” Zheng Dongming stared fixed at Li Yao.
“Why is that?” The female teacher didn’t understand.
“Because he and I are the same type of people.“ With a laugh, Zheng Dongming’s humble face revealed shallow dimples.
02:34 PM. Li Yao walked inside… Dining Hall Number 2!
“What the hell is he doing? There’s nobody in the second dining hall!” The numerous VIPs were discussing and clamoring.
At this time, most of the fighting had come to an end. Quite a few students sat on the ground, panting for breath. The ones worthy to watch on screen are few. The somewhat strange actions by Li Yao naturally drew everyone’s attention to Li Yao.
02:35 PM. Li Yao carried an entire tray of meat buns out of gymnasium number two. He ate as he walked, devouring a dozen fist-sized meat buns in half a second.
“Did he come here to fight, or did he come here to eat!?” The VIPs stared blankly for quite some time. After confirming that their eyes were fine, they couldn’t help but laugh with tears in their eyes.
Just a moment ago, they thought that this bastard was the secret weapon of Crimson Nimbus Second, some deeply hidden unexposed expert. They never thought that this bastard was actually a rice tub with an astonishing capacity for food!
And even within the campus, there were quite a few students who saw Li Yao.
“Look you guys, look! Even screwed ghost Li Yao has come!”
“Huh? He actually doesn’t have any injuries, how can he be so healthy and lively?”
“He must have been secretly hiding away just now and hasn’t participated in the fighting. That’s why he’s still lively like a dragon and a tiger.”
“Hey, Li Yao. Don’t go another further ahead. The students of the Important Class all gathered there. They’re all still fighting intensely and desperately. Be careful not to get accidently hurt!”
As Li Yao gnawed on a meat bun, he looked down to see his micro crystal processor, turning a deaf ear to everyone’s comments. Only when a student with good intentions warned him did he lift his head and give a smile of thanks. Right after, he continued to walk forward.
“It can’t be that his head’s been beaten retarded right?” the student who warned Li Yao commented to his companion with some pity.
The 10 admission tickets emitted special ripples of spiritual energy every half a minute, marking their positions on a virtual map. Soon, Li Yao was able to lock onto a ticket!
…...
Na Lanying was leaning her back on a giant tree. She was gasping and panting for breath. The alert expression in her eyes was like a sharp blade that swept in all directions.
She was unperturbed about the trace of blood still left in the corner of her mouth. The thought of licking it never crossed her mind.
She had to breath in the greatest amount of air in the shortest time frame to maintain a clear mind for as long as possible, so as to restore her combat strength.
This was because on her body… was a precious admission ticket!
Na Lanying was ranked 21st among the Important Class. Her Actualization Quotient was at 65%. To be able to seize an admission ticket was simply a gargantuan fortune for her. She completely lacked the confidence to be able to hold onto the ticket until 3 pm.
Fortunately, her lucky stars shined bright today. A few experts in her class had gone to jointly attack Helian Lie and Si Jiaxue and had received serious injuries; they were eliminated from the competition.
The remaining students went to go fight over the other admission tickets. There were no threatening existences with extreme strength in her surroundings. At least, not at the present.
Na Lanying had been letting her imagination run wild in her mind when she suddenly felt a stab of pain in her sternum. It was as if someone stabbed a stake of ice ferociously in her heart!
The young girl let out an “ah”. Every hair on her body stood on end; she was like a started white bunny. Her body instinctively reacted, disregarding everything and fleeing 7-8 meters automatically.
Na Lanying had a certain feeling that if she had stayed there, she would already have been torn to shreds!
Standing seven to eight meters behind her, in sloppy clothes, was a completely ordinary youngster. If there was something that must be said weird about him, it would be the fact that his cheeks were stuffed full of buns. Without stopping, he kept on chewing... and chewing… and chewing…
“Li Yao?”
Na Lanying simply didn’t dare to believe her eyes… Screwed ghost Li Yao was the most famous person in Crimson Nimbus Second, the man of the moment. Obviously, she wasn’t mistaken.
“It’s actually him? Why was it that when my back was towards him, all my hairs stood on end? It was like I was facing a terrible Demon Beast. I couldn’t raise even half a thought of resistance in my mind. My only thought was to flee in desperation!” Na Lanying’s heart beat like a drum. Her bosom slightly swelled up and down in undulations. She simply couldn’t calm down.
Li Yao chewed his meat bun indifferently while walking over to her.
Na Lanying’s scalp was frying. She felt a sense of crisis becoming more and more intense. She could not stop her entire self from trembling. No matter how much she tried taking deep breaths, it was no use! ”I’m was completely suppressed to paralysis by the pressure of his aura. I can’t even move a single finger at all. How can this be happening!?” screamed the young lady in her mind.
“What the hell is she doing? Why doesn’t Na Lanying beat down this bastard with a move?” The VIPs saw this scene and were at a loss. They were discussing animatedly amongst themselves.
“This kid is the screwed ghost of Crimson Nimbus Second. I bet Na Lanying thinks it’s below her to take care of him.” There were some people who finally asked and became clear on Li Yao’s identity. They talked with complete certainty.
Li Yao walked one step at a time until he reached in front of Na Lanying.
With a tilt of his neck, he swallowed down the last meat bun with some difficulty and gave a burp. A smile oozed all over his face, showing his contentment. In the eyes of Na Lanying, Li Yao’s appearance was just like tyrannosaurus rex swallowing down a ton of bloody meat. Traces of bloody sinew seemed to be embedded between his teeth,
“You. Don’t you come over...” Na Lanying said weakly from her heart. She was on the verge of crying.
“Hello, you must be fellow student Na Lanying. I would like to ask if you’ve seen fellow student Helian Lie and where he is?” Li Yao chuckled, asking in a refined and courteous manner.
Na Lanying stared blankly at him for quite some time. Then with a wavering hand, she pointed in the direction of the school’s sports field, “I- I don’t know. He’s probably at the sports field.”
