Chapter 866 The New King
“Is there something wrong with his mind? It’s good enough that he won one match. Does he want to defeat two senior students in a row?”
“They both suffered a great loss just now. How dare he accept their challenges again? There must be something wrong with his mind!”
“Don’t you see that he’s fighting for his girlfriend? I’m willing to die for her…”
The onlookers were all talking about it. They were not optimistic about Qin Haodong’s next game.
With Wang Dalei as the referee, the second round of challenge formally began. The situation seemed to confirm their guess. Qin Haodong was retreating and seemed about to throw in the towel.
But Lu Fei was never able to beat him completely.
Lu Fei was very anxious to win. As his moves became faster, he made many mistakes. Finally, the result of the last game reappeared, and both the challenger and the one being challenged suffered a lot.
Finally, Qin Haodong kicked Lu Fei off the challenge stage while he himself spat out a mouthful of blood.
Of course, all this was an act deliberately put on by Qin Haodong. The blood he vomited was ketchup, which he swallowed when no one was paying attention.
Seeing Qin Haodong spitting out blood, Zhao Xingyue hurriedly helped him up and asked with concern, “How are you feeling now? Are you okay?”
Qin Haodong thought to himself, “This girl could actually be nominated for the best-supporting actress. She would always give me cover at the critical moment.”
“I’m fine!” He had a stubborn look on his face and said to Dong Zhenjiang, “What do you think? Are you convinced now?”
“Well…”
Dong Zhenjiang was furious. He didn’t expect that his two underlings were so useless. Neither of them succeeded in defeating Qin Haodong.
He said, “Hey, I underestimated you. Do you dare to fight with me?”
“Shame on him. Qin Haodong has been fighting against two people in a row and he got injured. How could he challenge this young man now…”
“He vomited blood. I don’t think he’ll accept the challenge unless he’s out of his mind…”
“I know him. Dong Zhenjiang, who is in the third grade, has reached the early stage of the Apotheosis Realm. A student at the Nascent Soul Realm is definitely no match for him…”
Qin Haodong was quite happy. It seemed that he was about to get another 30 top-level Spirit Stones.
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve already told you. As long as you dare to challenge me, I’ll accept it.”
When everyone thought that Qin Haodong would turn down the challenge, something strange happened. The young man, who was still wiping away the blood, accepted the challenge again.
Dong Zhenjiang didn’t take him seriously at all. He sneered. “Good. You’re a brave young man! Do you want to raise the stake?”
Although Qin Haodong had made some money, he had just paid 20 top-level Spirit Stones and then lost 20. So he wanted to get them back from this man.
Qin Haodong said, “What do you want?”
Dong Zhenjiang said, “I’d like to raise the stakes to 50 top-level Spirit Stones. Do you dare?”
Qin Haodong was slightly stunned. He was in need of top-level Spirit Stones now, and this guy raised the stakes to 50 stones. He was about to get his first bucket of gold.
Seeing his expression, Dong Zhenjiang thought he was scared by the offer, “Make up your mind now! Do you want to or not?”
Qin Haodong pretended to be hesitant, “But I don’t have so much money.”
He only had 20 top-level Spirit Stones now and did not know the rules here. If he was asked to pay the bet in advance, he would not have so much money.
Dong Zhenjiang said, “It doesn’t matter. We can first sign the contract on the challenge platform and then you can pay me after you lose.”
Looking at the freshman, Wang Dalei said with sympathy, “Young man, we do have this rule. Students are allowed to gamble here.
“But the upper limit of the gambling money is 100 top-level Spirit Stones. If you lose, you must pay the money within a day, or you will be expelled.”
He wanted to persuade the new student to give up, but Qin Haodong became so excited after he heard what he said. He would definitely win this gamble and get the money no matter how much it was.
Zhao Xingyue pulled him aside and said anxiously, “No, you can’t do that!”
She was very clear about Qin Haodong’s family background. He didn’t have 50 top-level Spirit Stones now. Once he lost, he would definitely be expelled.
“Don’t stop me. I can’t bear it.” Qin Haodong pretended to be angry and said, “50 top-level Spirit Stones are nothing to me! Let’s have a bigger bet! How about 100 stones?”
“All right. Let’s sign the contract right now.”
Dong Zhenjiang’s depression disappeared immediately. He thought he would definitely be the winner and 100 top-level Spirit Stones would be a small fortune for him. Besides, if Qin Haodong could not afford it and got expelled, his beautiful girlfriend might be his.
Wang Dalei held the contract and asked again, “Are you sure? Once you sign the contract, you are not allowed to retract it.”
Qin Haodong nodded, “Yes!”
Wang Dalei was rendered speechless. This guy would rather die for his girlfriend than live without her.
However, Qin Haodong had made up his mind and there was nothing he could do. He made out the contract and gave one to each of them, leaving one for himself.
Dong Zhenjiang smiled and put away the contract. Then he gave Wang Dalei ten top-level Spirit Stones and jumped onto the platform.
However, to his surprise, Qin Haodong immediately cheered up and he didn’t seem to be injured at all.
He asked, “Boy, did you pretend to be hurt just now?”
“Haha, I’m just teasing!” Qin Haodong said happily.
Since he had signed the contract and was about to get 100 top-level Spirit Stones, he didn’t need to pretend to be weak anymore.
In the grandstand, there was a little girl dressed in the white school uniform, with two pigtails and a face that still had traces of puppy fat. She looked very lovely.
But strangely enough, although there were many people in the stands, there was no one around her. Everyone stayed away from her.
The little girl giggled.
“This guy is really interesting. I haven’t seen such a funny freshman for a long time.”
Then she gobbled the fruit in her hand.
“Hey, you’ll be defeated even if you’ve hidden your real strength.”
Dong Zhenjiang didn’t dare to underestimate this young man. He took out a silver spear from his Storage Ring.
One can use whatever they liked in the match and Dong Zhenjiang was best at spear techniques.
He waved the long spear and shouted, “Hey! Show me your weapon!”
With his hands behind his back, Qin Haodong said indifferently, “I don’t need a weapon to defeat someone like you!”
“Who is this freshman? How dare he challenge Dong Zhenjiang…”
“Didn’t he get injured just now? Did he pretend to be injured?”
“I don’t think so. He may have concealed his injuries in a special way…”
Qin Haodong ignored all these comments and shouted to Dong Zhenjiang, “Come on, don’t waste time.”
Feeling Qin Haodong’s contempt, Dong Zhenjiang was furious. He flicked his long spear and poured in a large amount of Genuine Qi into it. The tip of the spear glowed with a dazzling red light and reached Qin Haodong’s throat in the blink of an eye.
At this sight, Zhao Xingyue cried out nervously and Wang Dalei, who looked serious, observed the situation carefully and was ready to rescue Qin Haodong once he was in danger.
But the little girl sitting in the stands was still eating fruit with a cute smile.
Under the gaze of countless audiences, Dong Zhenjiang’s long spear, which was as fast as a thunderbolt, hurtled toward Qin Haodong in an instant.
Everyone was holding their breaths nervously, but the spear stopped. It was now half an inch from Qin Haodong’s throat, but it could not get closer because it was stopped by a white hand.
The audiences were all students of the Tortoise Academy and their mouths hung wide open in surprise now. He had to be at least at the middle stage of the Divine Realm if he could hold the spear with his bare hands.
It was obvious that the freshman was not as simple as he looked.
“It’s my turn!”
Qin Haodong shouted loudly and then hit Dong Zhenjiang’s face with a crisp sound.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure, Dong Zhenjiang narrowed his eyes in shock. This young man was much stronger than he thought.
But after all, he was a third-grade student, a master at the early stage of the Apotheosis Realm. Facing the large fist that approached him, he immediately discarded the long spear and took two steps back. Then another silver long spear appeared in his palm.
With the long spear in his hand, Dong Zhenjiang once again activated the Genuine Qi in his body. With a roar, he flicked the long spear violently and covered Qin Haodong with dozens of images amid a red glow from the sky.
Qin Haodong was slightly surprised by his move, but that was all.
He threw away the long spear and grabbed the shaft directly.
Dong Zhenjiang was shocked. He was using the Phantom Spear, which he was best at, but he didn’t expect that Qin Haodong could tell which was the real one so quickly.
Then Qin Haodong broke the steel spear into two pieces with a cracking sound. He leaned slightly to the side and flung himself against Dong Zhenjiang.
“Eight Extremes Boxing! Mountain Strike!”
Qin Haodong only used one-tenth of his strength this time, but Dong Zhenjiang couldn’t resist his attack at all. His body suddenly shot backward like an arrow and he started spewing out blood into the air.
That was real blood rather than ketchup. Then he fell to the ground with a thud.
Everyone present was stunned, and even Wang Dalei stood there, in a daze. He even forgot to announce the result of the competition.
This young man had defeated Dong Zhenjiang, a third-grade student, with just one move. It was amazing!
The audience immediately became restless.
“Amazing! Where did this freshman come from? He’s even better than a third-grade student…”
“He’s great! He’s both handsome and strong! I feel like I’m going to fall in love…”
“Come on, don’t you see how beautiful his girlfriend is? He would never like you…”
At this moment, another person shouted, “I recognize him. He is the strongest newcomer. He has reached the late stage of the Apotheosis Realm. No wonder he could defeat Dong Zhenjiang!”
When he heard that, Dong Zhenjiang, who had just stood up, spat out another mouthful of blood.
“You’re at the late stage of Apotheosis Realm? Then why did you pretend to be so weak? Are you kidding me?”
