Chapter 86: Jia Yuwei: Oh no, it's coming for me

~9 min read 1,640 words

「Boom! 」

On the arena, a figure was struck by Lu Xun and flew backward.

"Lost, lost, even Third Realm mid-stage senior Luo Yu also lost."

"Senior Luo Yu, who possesses the Heaven-Earth Meridian and is a genius, even had Liu Xinghe's ten-win streak ended by him, yet he lost to Lu Xun."

"Awesome!"

"We freshmen nobodies no longer have the qualifications to be Lu Xun's opponents."

Below the arena, many students discussed in shock.

"Who else!"

Li Bu Fan shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Manager Li, what should we do now? If we let him keep winning, the prize money will exceed our budget."

Behind the arena, Jia Medicine's employees were frantic.

After Lu Xun stepped onto the arena, he easily won five consecutive matches.

During the sixth round, Jia Medicine arranged a fourth-year student at Third Realm third level to face Lu Xun, but Lu Xun knocked him off the arena in two moves.

Immediately after, Lu Xun won another five in a row, achieving ten consecutive victories.

Seeing the situation turn bad, Jia Medicine's people sent forth Third Realm fourth-level Luo Yu.

Although Luo Yu is only at Third Realm fourth level, he is an absolute genius who has unlocked the Heaven Earth Meridian, with formidable combat power; his strength cannot be compared to the Third Realm assassin slain by Lu Xun.

As a result, Luo Yu still lost, and lost so quickly!

This left Jia Medicine's people no choice but to panic.

The rules set by Jia Medicine are as follows:

The initial prize is 1 unit of Dark Energy, worth a thousand dollars.

For each round won, the prize doubles.

Every five rounds, there is an Overlimit Challenge, which allows upperclassmen to come and challenge.

In the Overlimit Challenge, lasting one minute lets you take the full prize, but you lose eligibility to continue fighting on the arena.

If you wish to continue, you must win the Overlimit Challenge.

After each Overlimit Challenge, if the next Overlimit Challenge is ended, you can take the prize accumulated from the previous Overlimit Challenge.

Jia Medicine daringly set such rules on the freshmen's arena, naturally because they were prepared.

Upperclassmen are all the 'Finishers' they arranged, specially used to end overly strong students.

Now Lu Xun has won the second Overlimit Challenge, making 15 consecutive wins certain; if he cannot be stopped in the third Overlimit Challenge, Lu Xun is guaranteed to walk away with 16,000 units of Dark Energy.

This already exceeds Jia Medicine's sponsorship budget for this event.

If the fourth Overlimit Challenge still cannot stop Lu Xun, multiplying by five again would reach 520,000 units of Dark Energy, forcing Jia Medicine to hemorrhage funds this time.

"Don't worry, Yu Lei will step in during the third Overlimit Challenge."

Although Manager Li was also shocked by Lu Xun's strength, he did not lose his composure.

They still have a trump card.

Yu Lei!

This is a Third Realm sixth-level genius who has unlocked the Nine Heavens Thunder Meridian.

Yu Lei's proudest record is that he once lasted three minutes undefeated against a Fourth Realm Grand Master.

Fourth Realm martial artists possess true intent, their strength differing qualitatively from Third Realm.

Second Realm fighters challenging Third Realm is not uncommon, but a Third Realm fighter attempting to challenge Fourth Realm is difficult.

Otherwise, why would Fourth Realm be called Grand Master?

Upon hearing Yu Lei's name, the other staff relaxed.

"Damn, why is he so strong!!"

In the crowd, He Xiao's face turned deathly pale.

Beside him, He Qiang unexpectedly let out a sigh of relief.

He previously lost to Lu Xun, forfeiting a full cubic unit of Dark Energy, and these days at school he hasn't been able to lift his head.

Now Lu Xun is so strong that even a Third Realm fourth-level genius with the Heaven Earth Meridian is no match; his loss therefore means nothing.

"I am no longer worthy to be his opponent."

Lin Yan fell into utter despair, realizing he and Lu Xun are no longer on the same level.

He doesn't even have the qualification to be Lu Xun's opponent!

"His strength keeps getting stronger!"

In the crowd, Liu Xinghe was also watching the battle.

Lu Xun's strength made him feel immense pressure.

The day before yesterday, after polishing his sword for several months, he walked out of the training room, wanting to test his sword.

Liu Xinghe's combat strength is indeed formidable; he smoothly won five straight, then in the Overlimit Challenge defeated a Third Level senior, causing a sensation.

Then Liu Xinghe smoothly secured ten consecutive wins.

In the second Overlimit Challenge, Liu Xinghe encountered Luo Yu.

Although Liu Xinghe's Star River Holy Form is strong, the realm gap was too great, and Luo Yu was not weak either; Liu Xinghe held out for three minutes before decisively stepping down from the arena, winning 512 units of Dark Energy.

To him, this amount of Dark Energy is nothing, just a little bonus.

Now, Luo Yu, who once defeated him, has been defeated so quickly by Lu Xun, making Lu Xun's might leave him in the dust.

"I will not lose!"

Liu Xinghe clenched his fists.

Initially, Fu Xue chose Lu Xun first; Lu Xun refused, so she chose him instead. This made Liu Xinghe want to compete with Lu Xun.

He very much wanted to go up and challenge Lu Xun, but reason told him that he now absolutely was not a match for Lu Xun; going up would only bring humiliation.

"When Lan Xing enters the Starry Sky Ancient Path, that will be the time the Star Sacred Body truly shines; then, that will be when I catch up to you!"

Liu Xinghe held himself back.

Not far from him, also from Rong Cheng like Lu Xun, Wang Tengyun of the Wang family was eager to give it a try.

"Brother Xun, go easy, I'm afraid it will hurt."

In the eleventh match, a student at the second layer of Qi Sea jumped onto the platform.

Lu Xun struck lightly, sending him down with a single blow.

"Anyone else?"

"Brother Xun, I'll go."

Another student at the third layer of Qi Sea jumped onto the platform.

These students were actually just doing it for fun.

With Lu Xun's strength, which freshman could still match him in battle?

So, their purpose was to help Lu Xun rack up a few wins, then watch him fight the upperclassmen.

Incidentally, they could also experience Lu Xun's strength.

This platform does not allow weapons, nor may one injure the opponent too severely; falling off or conceding ends the match.

"I'll go!"

Another match began, and Wang Tengyun finally could not hold back, jumping onto the platform.

"Lu Xun, please advise."

He did not shout "Brother Xun" like the other students.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Tengyun's figure vanished from his spot; he activated Wind Escape Technique, hoping to sneak an attack on Lu Xun while he was off guard.

"Pfft!"

Then, Wang Tengyun didn't even get a clear look at Lu Xun's shadow before he was flung off the platform.

After landing, his breath became unstable, and a mouthful of blood mist sprayed out.

"Damn it!"

Wang Tengyun's eyes were filled with deep resentment.

He thought his strength could at least hold out a bit, but he didn't expect to not even withstand a single strike.

Not being able to hold out aside, Lu Xun's strike was not as light as it had been against the other freshmen; he made Wang Tengyun vomit blood.

"You still wanted to sneak‑attack Brother Xun without even checking your own weight—you deserve it."

"He's the first one today to be made to vomit blood; truly pitiful."

The other students watched it as a joke, making Wang Tengyun resent Lu Xun all the more.

On the platform, Lu Xun paid no heed to Wang Tengyun's feelings.

After learning about the Wang family's scum, Lu Xun felt some aversion toward the Wang clan, so he struck a little harder.

Another two matches passed.

The third Superlimit Challenge arrived.

"Here it comes, here it comes—I don't know who it will be this time."

The students waited eagerly.

A figure descended from the heavens amid everyone's anticipation and landed steadily on the platform.

As soon as he appeared, flickering electric arcs appeared in the air around the platform; many students' scalps went numb and their hair stood on end.

The students all protected themselves with true qi, which let their hair return to normal.

"It's Yu Lei!"

"He possesses the Nine Heavens Thunder Pulse; weapons are forbidden on the platform, so Lu Xun is bound to lose!"

"What does the Nine Heavens Thunder Pulse matter? My Brother Xun practices Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation!"

Upon seeing Yu Lei, the upperclassmen were no longer optimistic about Lu Xun.

The freshmen still didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking Lu Xun could crush anyone.

"Miss, how did you come here?"

At that moment, a figure appeared behind the platform.

Jia Yuwei—she actually came to Beidou University.

In fact, she just happened to be passing by; hearing that Lu Xun was fighting on the platform, she came over to have a look.

"It's her."

Lu Xun also saw Jia Yuwei.

Coincidentally, Jia Yuwei also looked over.

Their gazes met in midair.

Lu Xun's toe twitched slightly, his eyes flashing with a hint of provocation.

Jia Yuwei, that vicious woman, had once frenziedly suppressed Bai Ling and even hired assassins to kill.

Lu Xun came to the platform this time precisely to confront her; he wants to see, if he keeps winning, how Jia Yuwei and the Jia Clan will end up.

Upon meeting her gaze, Jia Yuwei's heart gave a jolt.

Uh‑oh!

Lu Xun is coming for her!
