Chapter 136: Trajectory Pass! 90% Win Rate? 100%!

After saying that, the two from Jilan left without looking back.

"Is there something wrong with them?"

Xu Jingming frowned, ignored them, and walked straight into the temporary office whose door was open.

Inside the temporary office, besides Vice Principal Ling Shuang, Capital University's Vice Principal Xu Ping was also present.

"Jingming, you're here, take a seat. I called you over because there's something I want to discuss with you."

Ling Shuang had Xu Jingming sit down on the sofa,

"Principal Xu Ping came to me, wanting Jilan to have a match with you.

Capital University's stake is 20% of this resource share, and ours is half of the relic passes.

I want to ask for your opinion—should we take this match?"

"Jilan wants to fight me?"

Only then did Xu Jingming realize what those words at the door had meant.

Still puzzled, he asked, "If Jilan wants to challenge me, he can just come to me directly. Why did he need to go to you principals?"

"Because we don't want to give up yet."

Capital University Vice Principal Xu Ping said with a smile, "Let me be straight with you. Among the resources the three universities are competing for this time,

besides the rare flowers and herbs, there are also the relic passes Principal Ling just mentioned.

There are 40 relic passes in total, accounting for 20% of this resource share.

Of course, now that your Magic University has taken first place, you have priority in distribution.

These 40 passes will surely all be yours.

It just so happens that Jilan also has his eye on that batch of resources, which is why I came to find Vice Principal Ling.

To see if we can arrange a wagered duel between you, and settle everything in one go."

"Relic passes? What are those?" Xu Jingming asked, puzzled.

A 20% resource share in exchange for 20 passes—it seemed extremely precious.

"Jingming, you should know that our Blue Star has many ancient civilization relics.

These relic passes are the tickets to enter one such ancient civilization relic."

Ling Shuang explained, "Principal Xu brought in an S-rank external helper precisely for these 40 passes."

So they were tickets to enter the ancient relics!

Xu Jingming suddenly understood.

Based on what he had learned in Magic University's history courses,

before this current civilization, there had been another era—an ancient civilization.

The ancient civilization also had fierce beasts and ability users, and its level of development could be called brilliant!

Not only was its science and technology extremely advanced, but its understanding of abilities was also remarkably profound.

No one knew why, but when the ancient civilization reached its peak, it suddenly came to an end and was buried deep underground.

It was only thousands of years later, when ability users reappeared on Blue Star, that these relics were unearthed once more.

Some of humanity's top ability training methods and SSS-rank combat techniques were obtained this way.

As for these ancient civilization relics scattered across Blue Star, some can be entered directly, while others require special credentials.

The relics that can be entered directly have basically all been scoured clean long ago.

Only the relics that require credentials might still have good things to be found.

Therefore, passes to ancient civilization relics are generally in very high demand.

"These 40 passes correspond to Relic No. 9.

Relic No. 9 opens once a year, and only fourth- to sixth-rank ability users may enter.

Jingming, if you're willing to take part in the duel with Jilan and win, I can give you one of these passes.

When Relic No. 9 opens again next year, if you've reached fourth rank, you may choose to enter.

If you haven't reached fourth rank, you can also return the pass to the school in exchange for a set of S-rank cultivation resources."

Ling Shuang's beautiful eyes gazed at Xu Jingming. "Now, it's up to you to decide."

Inside a civilization relic, everything depends on one's own fortune.

If luck is bad, you might come away with nothing.

But if luck is good, you might soar to the heavens in a single bound!

And this time, the relic's entry level is restricted to fourth through sixth rank.

Among the three universities, whether it's the top-tier students or the sixth-rank instructors, everyone can make use of it.

That's why Capital University, even after losing first place, still wants to fight for it.

"Make your choice. It's fine if you don't want to." Xu Ping's attitude was very amicable.

In truth, as he saw it, fighting on a narrow arena stage,

Xu Jingming, who possessed an S-rank lightning ability, was indeed at a slight disadvantage compared to Jilan, who had an S-rank enhancement ability.

Moreover, Xu Jingming had only just reached third rank not long ago, and couldn't be compared to Jilan, who had been third rank for over half a year.

Even if Xu Jingming refused, he wouldn't be surprised.

However, faced with the two principals' inquiry, Xu Jingming didn't even think about it and nodded directly:

"Both principals, I'm willing."

"Good!"

Xu Ping's eyes lit up. "Then it's settled! The time is 2 p. m., and the location is the arena area of the supply base.

Principal Ling, I'll go notify Jilan now and won't stay any longer."

As if afraid Xu Jingming would regret it.

After receiving the reply, Xu Ping quickly rose and left after stating the time and place.

"I didn't expect you to agree so readily—are you that confident?"

Vice Principal Hearing Ling Shuang was also somewhat surprised.

"Not bad—probably a ninety percent chance of winning."

Actually, Xu Jingming had intended to say one hundred percent.

But after thinking it over, he decided it was better to leave a ten percent margin.

After all, Kiran is also an S-rank; some face must be given.

"Ninety percent winning chance is just 'not bad'?"

Hearing Ling Shuang raised a delicate eyebrow. "If Xu Ping heard you say that, he'd surely think you're arrogant."

"Ah, I see..."

After a moment's thought, Xu Jingming said seriously, "Alright then—I believe I have a one hundred percent chance of winning."

"You're something else."

Even the cold and aloof Hearing Ling Shuang couldn't help but laugh and sigh.

I was just trying to get you to tone it down, but now you've gone even further.

Though she had only interacted with Xu Jingming a few times, Hearing Ling Shuang knew his character was steady and resolute—he never boasted.

If he said one hundred percent, then it was one hundred percent.

"I'll be present at the afternoon arena match—look forward to your performance."

"Rest assured, I won't let you, Principal, be disappointed."

"Alright, then go rest for now."

Vice Principal Hearing Ling Shuang watched Xu Jingming depart, her beautiful eyes holding a faint curiosity.

She couldn't help but look forward to the afternoon's match.

She wanted to see what exactly gave Xu Jingming the confidence behind his one hundred percent winning chance.

In a room within the supply base's main building, Kiran and his mentor also received the notice from Principal Xu Ping.

"He actually dares to accept! Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Kiran's eyes flashed with cold light.

He had no personal grudge against Xu Jingming, but the latter's performance this morning was practically slapping his face!

This bitter anger naturally had to be vented properly.

"By the way, Master, on the arena, should I..."

Kiran made a throat-slitting gesture.

If Great Xia lost an S-rank, it would benefit our Inda.

Accidentally killing someone on the arena is only too common.

"Defeat him—don't deliberately kill."

His mentor Sharman shook his head. "The vice principals of all three universities will be present at the afternoon arena match.

If you deliberately kill, you'll be stopped.

Even if you somehow succeed, we won't be able to leave Great Xia alive."

The vice principal of Magic University is a Grandmaster of Spatial Energy.

Saving someone from under the hands of a third-rank energy user is as simple as a thought.

Kiran froze slightly, then nodded: "I understand..."
