50: Credits are skyrocketing...

8:00 AM.

After finishing his warm-up, Xu Le ran to the training grounds early to wait for the challenges.

As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw Bao Bao hiding behind some greenery with an anxious look on his face.

"Senior Brother, why are you still coming here? The place is full of people wanting to challenge you."

"Where?"

Xu Le was overjoyed and stood on his tiptoes to look inside.

Bao Bao grabbed him: "Don't be impulsive! I did a rough count, and there are at least three digits' worth of challengers in there. Even if you aren't... beaten by a war of attrition, you'll be worked to death!"

Hiding was impossible.

If he wanted to hide, he wouldn't have posted on Microblog last night.

He turned to look at Bao Bao: "Are you willing to help me?"

He nodded, then shook his head frantically, then nodded hesitantly.

"Is that a yes or a no?"

"I guess it's a yes."

Bao Bao agreed very reluctantly.

If it weren't for Xu Le's stunning performance in front of Hong Yuantai last time, why would he have gone out of his way to tip him off and offer help?

However, if 'that help' was too difficult or dangerous, he would definitely give up.

Xu Le understood this too. He took out a pre-prepared ultra-high-definition camera and handed it to Bao Bao.

"Later, find a corner to hide in and capture the pathetic moments when those challengers are defeated by me. The more pathetic, the better. Can you do it?"

"I can!" Bao Bao nodded, his voice loud and firm.

Xu Le: "..."

The two of them split up and walked into the training grounds.

Upon seeing Xu Le, a large crowd immediately surrounded him.

"You're Xu Le, right? I thought a coward like you wouldn't dare to show up?"

"I've been waiting for you for over two hours. You think you're pretty special, don't you!"

"Duel me, do you dare?"

"Xu Scumbag, why aren't you dead yet? Go to Hell, Tang Wei has been waiting for you for a long time."

"..."

Xu Le was well-prepared. He took out a megaphone and began to maintain order.

"Hello everyone, I am Xu Le! Thank you all for coming to see me."

"Those who want to duel me, please go to Training Room No. 8. There's plenty of space inside."

"Hey, that highly respected brother over there, are you planning to cut the line?"

...Just like that, Xu Le led over a hundred people into Training Room No. 8 in an orderly fashion.

If he had added a little red hat, worn a red vest, and held a small flag, he would have looked exactly like a tour guide.

Xu Le also hired two staff members to register and number the challengers.

The pure and foolish freshmen wrote down their names and universities one by one in flamboyant script.

Challenger Number One had been so angry after seeing the Microblog post last night that he immediately headed to the gates of the Demon Slaying Academy, paying the fee to register and enter the moment the gates opened.

He had been waiting for over eight hours since last night and had long since lost his patience.

"Let's fight!"

Xu Le gave Bao Bao a signal in the crowd, then reached out to interrupt: "Brother, you've come from so far with such passion, please leave your great name."

"Shen Jian, from the War God Department, Blue Star University Freshman."

"Please!"

"Please!"

After the pleasantries, Shen Jian took out a saber and shield and charged forward.

It was a skill similar to Savage Charge.

Facing the high-speed collision, Xu Le lightly dodged and successfully appeared behind him, giving him a gentle kick in the butt.

Shen Jian stumbled and fell to the ground. Just as he was about to get up, a foot stepped on his back, making it impossible for him to rise.

"Isn't this Xu Le a Contractor? How is he so strong?"

He secretly groaned. With nearly 2,000 points of Strength pinning him down, there was no hope of standing up; it was even difficult to move.

Thinking of the rumors online about Xu Le's cruelty and ruthlessness, he felt a faint regret for his impulsiveness today.

He wasn't going to die, was he?

"Do you yield?" Xu Le asked.

"I..."

"Yield?"

Xu Le applied pressure with his foot, grinding him further into the ground.

Shen Jian helplessly patted the ground, his whole spirit wilting: "I yield."

Xu Le looked at Bao Bao, who secretly gave him an OK sign.

This look caused the crowd to burst into discussion.

"Wow, that was barely a second! Is this Xu Le really that strong?"

"Heh, how is that possible? He probably hired an actor."

"Do you even need to guess? He's a Contractor. Can he really step on a tank class from Blue University?"

"Heh, the shame of Blue University. Later, I'm going to break Xu Dog's legs."

...Shen Jian, who was pinned underfoot, felt as if his soul had been drained.

Killing the heart.

He's Killing the heart!

Making me admit defeat wasn't enough; he even made me watch everyone's expressions.

Hiss, how malicious!

The second challenger was also from Blue University, named Zhao Qi, an Ice Mage.

Right after the introduction, he cast a Spell and threw it over.

Learning from the last time where being too fast might scare off subsequent challengers.

This time, he was determined to put on an act.

He summoned Little Dog and Little Black Snake.

As soon as Zhao Qi threw a Spell, Little Dog commanded a Clone to rush up and block it.

Little Black Snake attacked simultaneously, using the Clone Little Dog that was blocking the Spell as a mount. After the opponent threw their second Spell, it whipped the person's butt with its tail.

As soon as he hit the ground, four Little Dog Clones surrounded him.

"Do you yield?"

...Time passed.

These level twenty or thirty freshmen were no match for Xu Le at all.

He quickly defeated eleven challengers.

Not a single one could last a minute.

Seeing that it was almost his turn, the thirteenth challenger got a bit scared.

He tried to sneak away.

Xu Le was paying attention at all times. This concerned two credits; how could he let the guy escape? He quickly shouted a question: "Number 13, you're Li Ziming from Blue Star University, right? Are you planning to run away?"

Huh?

The crowd looked in surprise at Li Ziming, who was three steps away from the line. Xu Le winked frantically, and Bao Bao hurried to capture the shot.

Li Ziming was quite quick-witted and argued without changing his expression: "You're too despicable. You made me wait for several hours. I just have an urgent need to use the toilet, and you're slandering me for running away, tsk tsk..."

"Hmm, you're quite arrogant, kid. I'll have to pay special attention later," Xu Le "warmly" reminded himself.

The originally calm Li Ziming's face instantly changed. He used the excuse of going to the toilet and didn't come out.

It wasn't until the 23rd challenger that Li Ziming finally emerged with heavy steps.

After Little Black Snake sent an Assassin class flying with its tail and the opponent yielded, Xu Le quickly beckoned.

"Student Li Ziming, it's your turn. Do you want to rest for ten minutes before fighting me, or start now?"

"Now is fine!" Li Ziming said with a mouth full of bitterness, thinking that losing would at least give him an excuse.

For this kind of person, Xu Le went all out and thrashed him until his health was nearly gone, then leisurely stopped.

Only then did the people behind realize why the staff were recording names and universities. They no longer dared to think about running away and waited honestly to be beaten.

In less than two hours, all the challengers had met their Waterloo.

Xu Le defeated a total of 113 challengers, successfully gaining 226 credits.

As expected, as long as you have fame or money, credits are nothing!

There were a few scattered challengers later on. Xu Le defeated them one by one, gaining another 36 credits.

But except for Li Ziming, he never struck too hard, let alone intentionally killed anyone.
