Chapter 55: Winning Big (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

The martial arts exchange tournament is still ongoing.

The momentum on both sides has undergone subtle changes. Under the reminder of the intelligent female voice, the second competition officially begins.

Songbai High School, Liang Kai takes the stage. His hands are sweating, and his heart is beating uncontrollably.

This Tianhai No. 2 High School, even the last-ranked Lin Qi is so strong, then the ninth place must be terrible. Can he still win?

No. 2 High School side, the ninth place is a big boy named Yu Peng.

He is unusually excited at this time. Lin Qi's victory seems to give him full confidence.

Songbai High School's strength is not strong. Lin Qi can defeat the opponent, and as the ninth place in the grade, he can do the same.

【3, 2, 1...】

【Second competition, officially begins!】

As the intelligent female voice announced, the competition officially began.

Two figures brandished the weapons in their hands and disappeared from the spot, the wind whistling, saber light and sword shadows, the fierce collision of long swords and battle sabers.

Two minutes later

"Clang, clang~"

Liang Kai's expression was strange. He brandished the long sword in his hand, cold light flashed, and it instantly pierced Yu Peng's chest.

"Why is he so weak?"

This opponent was much weaker than he imagined. How could this be?

Could it be that Lin Qi is too strong!

Liang Kai suddenly had this thought in his mind.

Yu Peng, who was killed and returned to the spectator area, was also stunned. Why is this opponent so strong?

The competition continues.

Both sides quickly unfolded the third competition, both were the eighth place in the grade of their respective schools.

A few minutes later

The eighth place of Tianhai No. 2 High School was a slightly fat boy, and he returned with an ugly face.

"She is too strong, I can't beat her!"

He said with a guilty head lowered.

Others listened and were puzzled, and the Elite Class outside the screen was stunned.

"What's the situation, how did we lose again?"

"We have already lost two games in a row, and the defeat was so miserable."

Where did it go wrong?

Li Zhou and others also discovered this point. The opponent's overall strength is not weak, but rather terrifyingly strong.

The reason why they won the first game, could it be that Lin Qi is too strong?

On Songbai High School's spectator area.

"Easy, really easy!"

"Originally thought Tianhai No. 2 High School would be very strong, but now it seems it's just so-so!" Someone stretched and laughed.

"The strong one is just that Lin Qi, others are No. 2's true level," Liang Kai said, having the right to speak.

"Then it's my turn to bully the weak!"

A girl revealed a smile and stepped onto the arena eagerly!

【Please have the fourth contestant take the stage!】

"Brother Qi, I'm going!" Jiang Tao also rubbed his hands here.

"Go, Taozi, the second victory depends on you."

Lin Qi nodded, watching Jiang Tao take the stage. He had confidence in Jiang Tao; he was a true genius.

A few minutes later

【Fourth game, Tianhai No. 2 High School, Jiang Tao wins!】

"My Saber Ape is not just for show."

Jiang Tao shook his head and returned to the spectator area, bumping fists with Lin Qi. After being promoted to the top ten in the grade, he got a new nickname—Saber Ape.

Seeing Jiang Tao win, the Elite Class crowd also breathed a sigh of relief. The gap was too large before, and they all thought they were finished.

Only Zhang Cheng's expression remained heavy.

The exchange tournament was completely controlled by the system and would not stop. The following games were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

Fifth game, Songbai High School wins!

Sixth game, Songbai High School wins!

Seventh game, draw!

After seven games, the expressions of the people in the Songbai High School spectator area were relaxed, and victory was within reach.

No. 2's side had serious expressions, and the people in the Virtual Room were also silent, as quiet as a library.

"Songbai High School has already won four games in a row. If they win one more, we will lose completely." Jiang Tao sighed.

Lin Qi also frowned. Is No. 2 going to lose? The next three games must be won in a row for No. 2 to win. It's too difficult!

Songbai High School, Cao Bin looked at Zhang Cheng and revealed a mocking smile.

"Go, solve the remaining three people in one breath, and take away the victory and prize money."

"Okay!" Everyone was excited!

Tianhai No. 2 High School

Zhang Cheng exhaled and said to Qi Qi Yue Lin:

"It depends on you!"

Qi Qi Yue Lin nodded and disappeared from the spot.

The eighth game officially begins!

【Eighth competition, Tianhai No. 2 High School, Qi Qi Yue Lin wins!】

A few minutes later, Qi Qi Yue Lin returned with a smile.

【Ninth game, Tianhai No. 2 High School, Yu Jing wins!】

Yu Jing shook his head after leaving the stage and said: "Just this?"

【Tenth game, Tianhai No. 2 High School, Li Zhou wins!】

Li Zhou returned and grinned: "A bit of strength, but not much."

Zhang Cheng revealed a smile, winning three games in a row, and their No. 2 won.

【Martial Arts Exchange Tournament, final result: Songbai: Tianhai = 4:5】

【Tianhai No. 2 High School wins the final victory!】 In the air, the intelligent female voice announced the final result.

Songbai High School people were stunned, Cao Bin's face was ugly. They actually lost, and were turned over by Tianhai No. 2 High School in three games, losing the exchange tournament. Too shameful.

The others beside him also had ugly faces. No one expected this result.

Everyone couldn't wait to go offline.

"Won!" Jiang Tao laughed.

Lin Qi also rarely revealed a smile. Li Zhou and the other three were still quite reliable. This exchange tournament was quite twisty.

Li Zhou and the other three were clearly a level stronger than the others.

This time, at least his prize money was finally saved.

Go offline, exit the virtual pod, and the whole Virtual Room was filled with excited sounds.

"As expected of the top three in the grade, steady and terrifying."

!

"In the end, we still have to rely on the three of them."

"And Jiang Tao and Lin Qi, they are also dark horses."

"It is estimated that in the future, the top five in our grade will be them," someone suddenly predicted.

It received approval from many people.

Zhang Cheng smiled and summarized:

"Alright, other students go back to the classroom first, Li Zhou, you ten stay."

After the idlers all left

Zhang Cheng looked around at the ten people and rarely revealed a smile to praise:

"Everyone performed well this time. I didn't expect that we could win the final victory and win a lot of face for our No. 2."

"Don't worry, 2 million Xia currency, everyone has a share this time."

"Each participating person gets 100,000 Xia currency, and students who draw can get 200,000 Xia currency."

"And students who win the victory can get 280,000 Xia currency."

"This prize money will be deposited into the accounts of the students tomorrow or the day after."

The other few people listened with calm expressions, not as happy as the victory. They were not short of money.

Only Lin Qi and Jiang Tao looked at each other, happy in their hearts.

For them, 280,000 yuan was already a huge sum.

"Alright, disperse and train separately!" Zhang Cheng said after dismissing them.

"Lin Qi, add WeChat, contact me if you have anything in the future," Li Zhou suddenly said.

"I'll add one too!" Qi Qi Yue Lin said.

"And me!" Zhu Yuqi, the fourth in the grade, revealed a smile.

Several others also wanted to add WeChat. Lin Qi did not refuse and added them one by one.

Everyone revealed friendly and enthusiastic smiles.

Only Yu Jing was indifferent and turned away.

A few minutes later

Lin Qi returned to his martial arts room, closing his eyes to recall the battle just now, especially the battles of Li Zhou and the others.

"Others are easy to say, but the skills of Li Zhou, Yu Jing, and Qi Qi Yue Lin are far stronger than mine. The gap is obvious. I am not an opponent at the moment."

"And for others, it's not impossible to win."

Lin Qi exhaled and began to take the energy potion.

"The expenses have been getting bigger and bigger recently. Qi-blood potions have almost been eliminated by me. I started taking energy potions every day, training four times a day, consuming four bottles of energy potion."

"The energy potions I bought last time have all been used up. I bought another batch, and spent about 150,000 yuan."

Lin Qi calculated silently. To ensure the rapid improvement of Qi-blood, no matter how expensive the energy potion is, he has to use it every day.

The previous first-tier genius loan, plus the Star rank activity prize money, now only has less than 500,000 left. He spent over 300,000 in half a month.

The remaining money is estimated to not last a month. With the 280,000 prize money, he can persist for a while longer.

"Still short of money!"

Lin Qi sighed secretly. The activity prize money is all piecemeal. Only signing a contract with a Martial Path Mansion is the big head.

At the same time, the principal's office.

"Really didn't expect that we actually won."

"Old Zhang, this is all your credit."

Jiang Zhiguang walked excitedly in the office, watering the flower pots from time to time, and green buds stretched out of the soil.

"Can't talk about my credit. Not many of the top ten were guided by me. Li Zhou and the others are purely strong themselves."

"However, Lin Qi and Jiang Tao were indeed taught by me," Zhang Cheng said while eating a popsicle.

"Lin Qi and Jiang Tao, especially Lin Qi, who could have thought of rising so fast? Our No. 2's luck has come," Jiang Zhiguang couldn't stop praising.

"Buzz!"

At this time, Zhang Cheng's phone vibrated. He took it out to look, and a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
