Chapter 460 – We Must Win !

“You must win! Whether we rise from beggars to rich people depends on you guys.”

“Don’t worry.”

After leaving the Blacksmith’s Association and receiving such a large sum of money, Lan Xuanyu felt refreshed. He was very confident about challenging the second years tomorrow. In fact, he wouldn’t even need to participate.

The competition was to be held on the afternoon of the second day. As there were classes in the morning, the competition would not affect the normal classes. The location of the competition was the Mecha Training Grounds in Shrek Academy’s Outer Court as the space here was large enough for the students to fight freely.

There were less than 300 students and teachers in the entire Outer Court. Only half an hour before the first year-skipping challenge were there a little bit over 100 people.

It was mainly the first and second years. The other years didn’t seem to be interested in this challenge.

In fact, everyone was usually very busy and no one wanted to waste even a little bit of time.

All the first years had arrived. Everyone was filled with excitement, but they weren’t nervous at all. They had won against the third years, so winning against the second years should not be a big deal right? This was what most people thought.

“Do it according to our plan, and we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy and win.” Lan Xuanyu looked at the two people who were about to compete and clenched his fists, gesturing for them to work hard.

“En.” Dong Qianqiu nodded slightly. Lan Mengqin, who was next to her, curled her lips and said, “This is not even going to be a challenge.”

That’s right, in the first round of the year-skipping challenges, the representative of the first years was neither the class leader, Lan Xuanyu, who had once killed Tang Yuge, nor their strongest individual, Yuanen Huihui. Instead, it was the Snow Ice Goddesses duo, Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu.

Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “Mengqin, you must not be careless. Also, you must not underestimate the enhancement of a One-Word Battle Armor to a soul master. There must be a reason why a Battle Armor can become the strongest weapon for us soul masters. Since the other party is able to represent the second years, there is no doubt that that person is the strongest among them. His One-Word Battle Armor is surely forged from first-grade Thousand Refined metals. Whether it is in terms of defense or enhancement, it must be extremely strong. We cannot lose this match. If we want to keep challenging until the end, we must give it our all in every match. We cannot be careless.”

“Alright.” Lan Mengqin pouted.

Lan Xuanyu smiled. “It’s up to you guys.” Although he was smiling, he was actually quite nervous. It wasn’t because Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu weren’t strong enough, but because of his 50 purple emblems!

If he lost this match, he would lose all of his hard-earned money. It would take him at least half a year to recover. And this was taking into account the fact that Yang Yingming had said that his Thousand Refined metals were more valuable than the others in the market. It was by no means an easy task to earn 50 purple emblems.

“The challenges are about to begin. Both teams, please enter.” At this moment, the teacher in charge of refereeing announced.

This arena was gigantic, it could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. After all, it was used to practice mecha combat. Hence, even if all the students from the first and second years were cheering, it would still sound very empty.

Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin walked into the arena hand in hand. On the other side, the students representing the second years had already entered.

It was a young man with a youthful appearance. Seeing that it was indeed him, Lan Xuanyu heaved a sigh of relief. He was sure that if they were to compare the investigation of their opponents with the other years, no one would be able to do it as thoroughly as them. The first years had even made a list of the participants that represented the various years. They had already listed the participants of each year.

The person in front of him was a second year student with an 80% chance of participating.

When he saw that his opponents were actually two female students, he was taken aback, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

To be able to be the first in the cohort, which one of them wasn’t filled with confidence? Furthermore, he felt that this was quite good. Although he felt that his abilities had a certain restraining effect on Yuanen Huihui, Yuanen Huihui was still a five-ring Soul King after all and his soul power rank higher than his. It would still have been very troublesome to deal with him.

Ding Zhuohan sat on the spectator stand with Bing Tianliang next to him. At this moment, the student in charge of the investigation muttered to himself, “Yuan Rui, Martial Soul, Berserk Lightning Leopard. Rank 48 soul power, One-Word Battle Armor Master. The number one person among the second years. He is a rare assault, agility, and control, all three types at once soul master. His individual abilities are very well rounded. Old Bing, his abilities are similar to yours, but he seems to be stronger than you because he is definitely faster than you.”

Bing Tianliang scoffed. “That’s because he has his Battle Armor. Without his Battle armor, he might not even be my match. Even if I’m not as fast as him, I have my Demon Puppet. If I was also a One-Word Battle Armor Master, it’s hard to say who would win.”

Ding Zhuohan chuckled. “Then find a chance to spar privately and let him not use his Battle Armor. This Yuan Rui isn’t simple to be able to become first in the cohort. But he doesn’t have much chance in this round. It’s two against one, we’ve already half won.”

At this point, he suddenly stood up and shouted, “Goddesses, do your best!”

Bing Tian was taken aback. “Why are you so excited?”

“If you’ve bet all your assets on them, you’ll be excited too,” Ding Zhuohan said.

Bing Tian was stunned for a moment before he stood up and shouted, “Goddesses, do your best!”

The odds had now dropped to 1:0.4. That’s right, just last night, a big bet came out of nowhere and forcefully lowered the odds by a large margin. The second years’ odds had become 1:1.

At this moment, Yuan Rui, who had already entered the arena, was feeling aggrieved. He was a second year after all! And he was also a One-Word Battle Armor Master. Why did these people have so little confidence in him? He had placed a purple emblem on himself in disbelief.

But seeing his two opponents made him feel better.

He had long heard that there were two beauties among the first years, and now that he saw them, they were indeed worthy of their reputation. Ignoring everything else, just their dark blue and white long hair that was almost dragging on the ground was enough to attract attention. Almost all men liked long hair, and he was no exception.

“Hello, junior sisters.” Yuan Rui smiled, revealing a smile that he thought was very gentle. “I will do my best to face you in this battle, but I will also try my best to avoid hurting you. Please be at ease.”

Dong Qianqiu didn’t say a word, nor did Lan Mengqin. She looked at him like he was an idiot.

“The match begins.” There wasn’t much ceremony as the referee directly announced the start of this year-skipping challenge.

The moment he finished speaking, Yuan Rui seemed to have transformed into a different person. With a flash of purple light, he crossed a hundred meters in an instant and arrived before Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu.

His speed was too fast, almost comparable to teleportation. Liu Feng, who was the fastest among the first years, was shocked when he saw this scene. He knew that he was definitely not as fast as this senior.

Lan Mengqin retreated while Dong Qianqiu stepped forward. The two girls immediately acted very tacitly and turned to face each other.

Dong Qianqiu raised her right hand in front of her chest. In an instant, four soul rings rose up and her second lit up as an ice mist gushed out.

That wasn’t an ordinary ice fog. It looked like a fire extinguisher that shot out instantly.

Yuan Rui was extremely fast, so it was as if he had crashed into the ice fog himself. But at this moment, he displayed the strength befitting his status of the number one student among the second years.
