Chapter 90: Even the auntie was driven to anger
Impossible!
When Xia Yu conceded, Jia Yuxi sprang up from behind the stage.
Her pretty face was full of disbelief.
She had just thought Xia Yu was sure to win, but the situation suddenly reversed, and in the blink of an eye Xia Yu lost.
Is that a win?
Looks like, maybe, apparently, should have won.
What the heck, isn't that a win!
Lu Xun V5, Lu Xun invincible!
In this battle Lu Xun turned the tables too fast; many students hadn't reacted yet when Lu Xun won.
As a result, many people were a beat slow to react.
Lu Xun, please give me your guidance.
Li Fan's eyes shifted, and he suddenly leapt onto the stage, wanting to duel Lu Xun.
This kid, what's he up to?
As soon as he saw his winking and gesturing, Lu Xun realized he was trying to pad his own record.
Thus, Lu Xun knocked Li Fan off the stage with a single strike.
As expected of my brother Lu Xun, I, Li Fan, lost convincingly; the task of defeating Lu Xun can only be left to you.
Li Fan landed, clutching his chest, looking like he was settling his affairs.
Lu Xun, I'm here!
Other students reacted, and someone else jumped onto the stage.
Miss, what should we do?
Behind the stage, Director Li was frantic.
After Li Fan won the fourth limit‑breaking challenge, he was guaranteed to receive 520,000 units of Dark Energy.
If it kept doubling like this, by the fifth limit‑breaking challenge it would become over 16 million units of Dark Energy.
That's a full sixteen cubic units of Dark Energy, worth over ten billion!
For a giant like the Jia Group, sixteen cubic units of Dark Energy is actually not much.
But to bring out that much Dark Energy in a small arena match at Beidou University is totally not worth it.
Go, find those few; for Dark Energy within three cubic units, pay whatever they ask.
Jia Yuxi decided to go all out.
According to the arena rules they set, if Lu Xun keeps winning like this, trouble will ensue.
Yes, Miss.
Director Li hurried to make arrangements.
Now the Jia Group is going to bleed heavily.
I never expected he could even defeat Xia Yu.
Spiritual power turned into a sword—such power! Looking at this, Lu Xun probably exceeds limits on the Immortal Path; it's hard to imagine how he trains.
Weapons aren't allowed on the stage, which limits Xia Yu; otherwise Lu Xun would surely lose.
Not necessarily.
On a distant high-rise, that group of monster‑level geniuses were likewise shocked by this battle.
A call came in; it looks like the Jia Group is in a hurry. I'm about to breakthrough to the fourth realm, so I won't join the fun—whoever goes, I'll help you negotiate the price.
At that moment, someone answered Director Li's call.
The stage limits me too much; Xia Yu already lost, so if I go I'll probably fail—no thanks.
Winning would be bullying the weak, not worth it; losing would damage my dao heart, so I'm not going.
If you all aren't going, then neither am I.
Me too.
Several students in a row shook their heads.
Then forget it.
That person hung up.
Nobody answered.
Below the stage, Director Li was sweating profusely from anxiety.
He made several calls, but no one picked up.
Some intelligent assistants replied they were in secluded cultivation.
Two others simply hung up.
This left Director Li feeling helpless.
These people...
Jia Yuxi's face turned ashen.
These geniuses wouldn't have grown so fast without the Jia Group's pills.
Now each of them has turned into a shrinking turtle.
Those in seclusion can be excused, but those who hung up clearly don't want to go up.
Each is a late‑third‑realm monster‑level genius, yet they're even afraid of Lu Xun, who just broke through to the third realm.
Fight again.
Jia Yuxi could only have Director Li keep trying to contact them.
Beidou University has many geniuses; in recent years, there are no shortage of monstrous-level geniuses with formidable combat power.
However, some geniuses keep to themselves, and the Jia Clan Group cannot contact them.
She can only hope for those few she can contact.
"Xun Ge is impressive; I admit defeat wholeheartedly."
At this moment, on the stage, Lu Xun has already secured 25 consecutive victories.
It's time for the fifth Superlimit Challenge.
Lu Xun stands on the stage, calmly waiting for Jia Yuwei to summon someone.
Even if Jia Yuwei summons a Fourth Realm student, Lu Xun is confident he can last a minute and then walk away with over sixteen million Dark Energy.
He still has hidden tricks.
That is the incantation given by Babara.
In his mouth is a drop of blood wrapped in spiritual power—this is Xiao Bai's blood.
Lu Xun feels that Jia Yuwei should not be able to summon a Fourth Realm student.
Even at Beidou University, it's unknown whether there are any Fourth Realm students who haven't graduated yet.
If Lan Xing enters the Starry Sky Ancient Road, some students may gain fortuitous encounters, possibly skyrocketing their cultivation; reaching the Fourth Realm during university is not uncommon.
Nowadays, Lan Xing has been staying in the Binary Star System for several years.
These past few years, students can only rely on their own cultivation, progressing step by step.
As for the previous batch of students who gained fortuitous encounters on the Starry Sky Ancient Road... they have already graduated!
"Miss, one is not in the capital, another doesn't answer... what should we do now?"
Manager Li felt helpless.
He focused on calling back the two who hung up; one answered, but that person hasn't been in the capital lately.
The other still hung up, leaving him with no recourse.
"Why is it taking so long—are we doing the fifth Superlimit Challenge or not?"
"If you can't afford it, just say so—our Brother Xun doesn't lack your bit of Dark Energy."
"Exactly."
The watching students refused to continue.
These students, mostly freshmen, all stood with Lu Xun, shouting loudly in support.
Jia Yuwei's face alternated between pale and flushed.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and stepped onto the stage.
"Fellow students, since we are unprepared, let's end this stage battle here. Lu Xun has won 25 straight; we will give him his Dark Energy in full, not a penny less."
As Jia Yuwei spoke, her heart felt like it was dripping blood.
That's over sixteen million, approaching seventeen million Dark Energy!
And just like that, Lu Xun won it all.
But now, for the sake of the Jia Clan Group's reputation, she had to grit her teeth and accept it.
Now her intestines regret turning green.
Had she known, ending the fourth-round challenge with a thick face would have cost only five hundred twenty thousand units of Dark Energy.
Just to vent her anger, the amount suddenly ballooned to this.
Actually, if this weren't Beidou University, and the students below weren't geniuses gathered from all over the East, Jia Yuwei might not have conceded.
But there are no so many 'ifs' in this world.
Now, a mysterious Saint-tier Alchemist has suddenly appeared in the East; Bai Ling's meridians have recovered, and the Juxin Group is also beginning to advance into the high-end market.
At this critical juncture, the Jia Clan Group truly cannot afford to lose its reputation here.
"Excuse me, is it 16,777,216 units of Dark Energy?"
A student shouted loudly.
He had pinpointed the Dark Energy figure down to the unit.
"Yes!"
That number made Jia Yuwei's heart skip a beat.
"Wow, that's about right."
"Brother Xun is about to strike it rich~"
"A wave of sudden wealth."
Upon hearing that number, the students finally stopped clinging to the Jia Clan Group as they had before.
"Wait a moment."
Lu Xun suddenly spoke.
"Lu Xun, do you have any other questions?"
Although Jia Yuwei wanted to rush up and beat Lu Xun, her professionalism kept her smiling.
"You said earlier that clearing three rounds earns double the reward; I've cleared four rounds, so I don't get triple, but I should at least get the double reward, right?"
Lu Xun curled his lip, and his words made Jia Yuwei's face change dramatically.
"Exactly, it should be double the reward."
Li Bu Fan reacted instantly, immediately joining the clamor.
"Double, double, double..."
More students joined the clamor.
"You... Lu Xun, don't go too far!"
Jia Yumei's face went white with anger, and she angrily sent a voice transmission to Lu Xun.
At this moment, she realized something, and a faint blush rose on her fair face.
Perhaps due to her extreme anger, her period arrived half a month early.
This is a menstrual disorder caused by her being made angry.
Jia Yumei had to use her spiritual power to hold it in, to prevent leakage.
