38 Chapter 38: Attacking the Weak with Strength
Translator: 549690339
Jack Clark wasn’t surprised that he won easily.
Although his Dragon Elephant Power had only been cultivated to the First Layer Middle Stage, his basic attributes were at least twice as strong as his opponents. If he lost, it would be a problem.
In this world, there was no such thing as the weak defeating the strong, only the strong triumphing over the weak.
If you can win, it means you are stronger than the opponent.
Even some genius students who were rumored to be able to fight across realms in the cultivation world would still have an edge in either a sudden power explosion or a stronger secret skill than their opponent.
They could only have an advantage in closing the gap between the two sides’ realms, and be able to fight across realms.
Descending from the Martial Arts Arena with his long knife, Chen Chu started watching other matches.
There were students carrying weapons around the fifty arenas, with names constantly changing on the big screen above their heads. Many people in the audience were cheering for their classmates.
Boom!
Under a violent energy wave, a male student holding a stick… or rather, a pillar, smashed his opponent off the Martial Arts Arena. His almost 2-meter-tall figure was even more fierce than Marcus Lee, emitting a terrifying aura.
What a terrifying strength. When Chen Chu looked at the iron column – over 3 meters long and as thick as an adult’s thigh – even if it was made from lightweight alloy, it would still weigh hundreds of kilograms, his eyes twitched.
Who is this guy? He’s so fierce. Chen Chu was shocked.
Does he have innate divine strength since he’s using such a heavy weapon? His arm strength must be more than a thousand kilos. There’s no way a First Layer Heaven cultivator has this much power.
Chen Chu had thought that his basic attributes exceeded the First Layer Heaven limit and that he should be among the top in this batch of freshmen. He didn’t expect to see such a powerful person – a total monster!
Chen Chu took a deep look at that giant-like male student and headed towards the next arena.
At this moment, not only Chen Chu, but also the students in the audience seats were getting worked up. The fast-paced action with heavy weapons was electrifying.
As the heavy weapons collided, the air above the entire arena was filled with a rumbling sound.
In contrast to the engrossed freshmen, the teachers on the main stage didn’t particularly mind. To them, these freshman competitions were nothing remarkable.
They were too slow and their strength was too weak. They didn’t even possess True Strength, let alone the Power of Heaven and Earth carried by True Strength.
While they casually watched the video monitors, occasionally, a teacher would shout at an arena where a student couldn’t hold back, declaring the more dominant side victorious.
At this time, a teacher asked in confusion, “Mr. Lester, why do you think the higher-ups allocated so many resources this time and let all the first-class universities focus on cultivating this batch of freshmen?”
Vernon Leinster shook his head slightly, “Not just this batch, but every year from now on, freshmen from the three major Federation countries will receive more resources than previous batches.”
Lori Parma was surprised, “What? The training resources are increasing every year, and it’s happening throughout the three major Federation countries? Is it because our side has won a great victory on the battlefield?”
The other teachers also showed excitement, thinking this was the reason.
Just as these teachers were getting excited, Vernon Leinster’s expression turned solemn and he shook his head slightly, “No, it’s because the Fifth Army Corps has opened up several new Resource Points.”
“As for the situation on the battlefield, it remains tense. The Third, Ninth, and Fifteenth Army Corps are under great pressure, witnessing at least one king-level battle every month.”
“Under these circumstances, the casualties of the army corps in various countries have been increasing in the past two years, and more fresh blood is needed.”
“That’s why the higher-ups have allocated these additional resources, urging us to expand our training targets, not to give up on even those students who establish their foundations within two months.”
Vernon Leinster’s words made the faces of these teachers turn solemn.
“So, the situation is becoming even more critical?”After a while, Lori Parma slowly exhaled, “But even so, is there any need to use resources to cultivate freshmen who can’t establish their Foundation within a month?”action
“If these resources were tilted towards the second and third-year students, their growth rate might be faster.”
Vernon Leinster shook his head: “You can’t see it like that, the growth of the second and third-year students is already fixed, so allocating more resources to them won’t have much effect.”
“On the other hand, these freshmen, although those who break through the Foundation Establishment a month later have indeed poor initial talents and their cultivation speed is despairingly slow.”
“But with such a huge base of talent in the Three Major Federation Countries, if another Mysterious Martial King were to emerge, it would be a significant gain for the Human Race.”
“I think this is also the intention of the higher-ups, to use resources to expand the cultivation base of humans, hoping that a few more ‘monstrous’ talents who have accumulated a lot can emerge and enhance the foundation of the Human Race.”
Lori Parma and others nodded thoughtfully.
Having finished his matches early, Jack Clark wandered around visiting various Martial Arts Arenas, and during this time he saw Crystal Leinster cleanly defeating her opponent and the two nodded to each other as they passed.
He also saw Sawyer Levin being defeated by a very strong female student and leaving the stage disheartened.
Suddenly, Jack Clark stopped and his eyes fell on the No.9 Arena ahead, where a beautiful girl who looked almost identical to Crystal Leinster was standing with a sword.
Unlike Crystal, this girl’s hair was black with a hint of blue, her face always carried a gentle smile, and her eyes were soft, giving people a feeling of watery warmth.
Her opponent was also a female student who wielded a long, slender Samurai sword.
After nodding to each other, the two sides immediately took action, turning into two shadows that collided.
Clang, clang, clang!!
The fierce swordlight and the sharp sword shadows intertwined as the two figures spun around, leaving faint afterimages and showing great strength.
Both girls focused on Sword Skill and Blade Skill; one had swift and dazzling knife flashes, while the other had sword lights that filled the space like water, captivating the surrounding audience.
Clang!
Suddenly, a dazzling spark burst open, and the girl wielding the Samurai sword let out a suppressed hum. Her figure appeared at the edge of the arena, her face pale.
“I lost.” Reluctantly dropping a sentence, the girl with the Samurai sword jumped off the stage.
“No.9 Arena, student Mandy Leinster wins. You have completed your matches, please step down and rest while waiting for the results.”
The girl named Mandy Leinster stood with her sword collected, slightly nodding to the watching classmates around her, showing excellent manners before jumping off the stage and leaving.
“Is this the Class Leader’s sister? Her strength is quite impressive.” Jack Clark pondered.
Just now, both of their movement speeds had reached the First Layer Heaven Limit, which ordinary people couldn’t keep up with, not inferior to the arrogant girl Jack finally defeated.
With this speed, ordinary people couldn’t see their movements clearly, let alone the kinetic blessing and sharp swordsmanship brought about by speed.
This level of strength ranked among the top freshmen present, but Jack could see that Mandy Leinster had defeated that girl quite easily and had plenty of room to spare.
“If it weren’t for this ranking competition, I wouldn’t have known that there are so many experts among the freshmen.” Jack shook his head and sighed, his slight sense of superiority due to his enhanced physique vanishing without a trace.
This little advantage was not enough for him to sweep through his peers; he needed to work harder on cultivating his Devouring ability.
Over five hundred participants, fifty arenas, one match every ten minutes, and with each person completing six matches, the first round didn’t end until noon.
Everyone dispersed for lunch.
