“Your mouth stinks!”
Boom!
Just when Yi KaiCheng was still swinging his sword around, Li Rui threw a punch that violently landed on his face.
[Grasp of the undying!]
Hissss~
An emerald green light that was invincible to everyone else appeared on Yi KaiCheng. It instantly flowed into Li Rui’s body after entering his arms.
Inflicted 10 points of extra magical damage!
Permanent HP +1!
Even with the helmet’s protection, Yi KaiCheng could feel the world around him spinning.
When he finally became conscious, he was already lying flat on the floor.
But his opponent was standing right in front of him and staring down at him. There were no signs of happiness or sorrow; there wasn’t even an arrogant look from his victory!
“Are you still going to do the same thing again?”
“I!”
Yi KaiCheng tried to stand up, but his body was out of control and he fell down as soon as he stood up.
Li Rui faintly looked at him and looked around him. All the eyes that were once sneering at Li Rui had now turned into invincible respect toward him.
Most of them lowered their heads when their eyes came into contact with Li Rui’s.
See, competitive sports were this simple. If you think you have the ability, go ahead! If you don’t, then STFU!
When you’re one of the stronger ones, whatever you do is correct, but if you are one of the weaker ones, even breathing is a mistake!
A slight smile was seen on the corner of his mouth. Li Rui raised his head and the pressure from him made the whole audience quiet.
After leaving a strong impression on the audience’s minds, Li Rui turned around and walked out of the ring.
He couldn’t help but sigh when he noticed that his undigested HP had become 149.
He hadn’t wanted to fight him seriously, but after Yi KaiCheng had scolded his family, he couldn’t stand it anymore.
However, Li Rui soon moved on from this little incident. Since most high school boys had a HP of at least 40 points, taking away 1 point wouldn’t cause any serious consequences. This could probably teach him a lesson…
When you’re facing a stronger opponent, even if you don’t want to kiss ass, you should at least respect him!
Initially, Li Rui had already planned to suppress the dissonant voices on the team. Yi KaiCheng was just the unlucky one who happened to hit the muzzle.
He had become the sacrifice…
EXP 88/100.
He had only gained 1 EXP and hadn’t even triggered the daily mission which meant that his opponent was too weak.
Li Rui blinked and asked the system, “[Grasp of the Undying] can only be triggered by heroes, right? Yi Kaicheng is considered a hero?”
If a normal high school student is considered a hero, then there are no weak people in this world!
The attack just now had actually been a trial; he had never expected to actually trigger it!
System: “There isn’t an absolute definition of a hero. It is determined according to the current energy level of the host.”
“Which means, as I become stronger, the definition of a hero will also change?”
“Yes.”
Hm… that seems reasonable. When he was still a baby, an ordinary adult had already been invincible to him.
As he becomes an even more powerful Transcendent, the people in the past who had made his life miserable would just be like ants to him.
Over time, the enemies that he would face on different stages would be different. It was impossible to limit the definition of a hero!
Just as Li Rui was still deep in his thoughts, a soft and delicate body jumped on his back.
“Haha, I knew it! You must have been secretly training behind our backs! You’re so much stronger than before!”
There was a pair of fair long legs around his waist, and Luo Li was laughing while lying on Li Rui’s back.
“Quick! Have a match with me. Today, I shall seek usurpation!”
Li Rui rolled his eyes and patted her butt. “Luo Li, get down. The coach was looking for me. I’ll have a match with you later.”
“Coach is looking for you? What’s the matter?”
Luo Li curiously jumped down from Li Rui’s back.
“I’m not sure, but probably because of my attendance.”
“So you do know that you have an attendance issue?”
A thick stack of documents hit his head, causing Li Rui to tremble.
As he turned around, a handsome middle-aged man holding onto the documents was looking at him with a harsh stare.
“Hehe, Coach, aren’t I here now?”
Li Rui gave a faint smile to the person walking toward him.
“What’s the point of you being here? Don’t you have to look for help to treat little Wei? Do you have the time to compete?”
Coach Chen Bin helplessly sighed. He was the one person who could best understand Li Rui’s difficulties.
“We found the reason behind little Wei’s condition. Now, we only need to slowly help her recover. I can start competing with the team again.”
Chen Bin froze for a moment. Then, he saw the smile on Li Rui’s face and started smiling as well.
Back then, Chen Bin had not cared about what the others had said and had fought to keep Li Rui’s position as a captain along with his scholarship. This was not only because he pitied the weaker ones, but also because he was optimistic about Li Rui’s future.
He would never forget the time when he had seen the smile on the teenager enjoying the finals battle of the National Junior High Championship. That moment, he had shined and eclipsed the whole world.
Chen Bin had always believed that people like Li Rui were born to fight. You just had to give them the chance to grow, and one day, they would definitely shock the world!
“Good fellow! I’ll start signing up for you then! The triathlon next month, the National Junior High Championship, the Champions Cup…”
Chen Bin counted at least seven to eight championships in one breath.
“Coach, are you trying to kill me… that’s a lot of competitions in one go…”
Li Rui said with a bitter smile.
But he didn’t expect that Chen Bin’s face would turn dark before poking his head.
“Who told you to take leave for an entire year? If you don’t join all these competitions, how are you going to improve your global ranking? When you graduate from high school next year and your ranking is still amongst the thousands, are you going to apply for some rubbish college?”
Chen Bin continued poking Li Rui’s head in anger. “You have a year’s shortage compared to everyone in the same category. You still have the chance to enter the genius category if you rush through everything this year. I will pass you the schedule of all of the competitions that I have signed you up for. You better not mess it up for me!”
Li Rui bitterly nodded.
He knew that Chen Bin was doing all this for his own benefit and didn’t have the heart to reject his offer.
Forget it, he would just use this to gain more experience.
The elites from various schools across the country would definitely be even much stronger than Yi Kaicheng, which meant that he would gain about two or three EXP every match. Then, he would probably be able to rank up a few levels…
Li Rui tried to comfort himself.
At this moment, a notification came from the system which caught his attention.
“Detection of fluctuation in the host’s karmic line, automatically generating tasks…”
“Generating tasks…”
“[Kill a Hundred]task has been added.”
“[Kill a Hundred]: Win a hundred matches in the next hundred official competitions of the same level.”
“Mission reward: 1. During the mission, the EXP gained will be doubled.”
“2. Upon completing the mission, you will gain an additional 2000 EXP and 1000 gold coins.”
“3. Upon completing the mission, you will get one bronze chest.”
“Duration: three months.”
