52: Chapter 52 Dragon and Elephant Essence Blood, The Battle to Be Watched
"Zhou Bai, this is an S-grade resource that can enhance spiritual power, Xuanling Soul Liquid, and also a B-grade spiritual martial skill, [Ghostly Soul Thorn]. Take them and use them to maximize your combat power..."
"There are tough battles ahead..."
After a long while, Chen Jianghe took out another S-grade resource and a spiritual martial skill, handing them to Zhou Bai.
"Alright, leave it to me!"
Zhou Bai nodded, speaking with determination.
...
King Kong University Training Room.
In the training room, a delicate-looking youth dressed in black was quietly sitting and resting.
Although the youth's face was delicate, his body radiated an astonishing aura of qi and blood, with faint roars of beasts surging within him.
"Brother Lu, you have no idea how terrifyingly popular that Zhou Bai is now. If you can crush him tomorrow, the whole arena will erupt in cheers, and our King Kong University's reputation will skyrocket directly!"
In the training room, the other students of King Kong University chimed in.
"Hey, Zhou Bai's strength is still very formidable. Even I can only manage a fifty-fifty chance against him!"
Lu Wei took a deep breath, then slowly spoke.
"Fifty-fifty, that means the odds of winning are quite high!"
The students beside him immediately spoke up.
Lu Wei didn't reply, his mind simply replaying Zhou Bai's performance from today.
"CREAK!!!"
Just then, the door to their training room was pushed open.
A youth in a wheelchair, his body wrapped in bandages, entered.
Following behind the youth were students from Star Martial.
"Xu Xiu, it's you. Why are you here? Weren't you already eliminated?"
Seeing the wheelchair-bound youth ahead, Lu Wei asked, puzzled.
"Shut up! Our Brother Xu is here to help you deal with Zhou Bai!"
A Xingwu student behind Xu Xiu snorted coldly.
"Oh, here to help me deal with Zhou Bai? Good, good, good! Welcome, welcome!"
Hearing this student's words, Lu Wei's eyes lit up.
He immediately understood their intention: they didn't want to see Zhou Bai advance any further.
Only by making Zhou Bai suffer a crushing defeat could they wash away the disgrace inflicted upon their Star Martial.
Right at that moment, another set of footsteps sounded from the doorway.
Lu Wei looked up and saw that it was a prodigy from Imperial Martial Arts University.
"Lu Wei, this is from our boss. You should know what to do tomorrow!"
The Diwu prodigy took out a jade vial and handed it to Lu Wei.
Lu Wei took the vial and opened it directly. Inside was a bottle of golden-red essence blood.
Looking at the golden-red essence blood inside, Lu Wei instantly felt an extremely ancient and vast aura, as if ancient Dragon Elephants were roaring.
"This is Dragon Elephant Essence Blood!"
Lu Wei's eyes widened, his breathing becoming rapid.
He never expected Qin Hao to give him something so precious directly. This was the essence blood of an ancient divine beast, worth a fortune.
Even a Grandmaster would be moved by it.
And with this essence blood, Lu Wei could fully transform into an ancient Dragon Elephant. At that point, he would be unstoppable, slaying gods and blocking buddhas...
"Just how much does this Qin Hao hate him, to bring out something like this..."
Lu Wei murmured in his heart.
However, Lu Wei didn't mind. As long as he benefited, it was fine.
"Just having this still isn't safe enough. I will also conduct special training for you next. I want Zhou Bai to suffer a miserable defeat..."
Xu Xiu, who was nearby, also gritted his teeth, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes...
...
A night passed in the blink of an eye.
Soon, it was time for the second round of the elimination matches on the second day.
The Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena was still packed with a sea of people. The audience cheered passionately, supporting their favored contestants.
Because Zhou Bai had decisively defeated Xu Xiu yesterday, there were quite a few support banners for Zhou Bai in the spectator stands.
The thrilling matches from yesterday made everyone even more excited for today's battles.
The first match began quickly. It was Zhu Yunrong from Tianshui University versus Lin Shi from Huo Yun University.
The clash of water and fire was also a performance everyone highly anticipated.
Both were top prodigies from their respective academies. Although they hadn't broken through to the fourth rank, their strength was extremely formidable.
After half an hour of fierce battle, Zhu Yunrong took the first victory, becoming the first to advance to the third round.
The battles continued one after another, the cheers in the martial arts arena rising wave after wave.
This intense,Passion (blood-boiling) combat ignited the passion within the arena.
"Excellent. The prodigies of our Xia Country's Dawn are all outstanding!"
In the VIP spectator stands of the martial arts arena, many top-tier experts watched the brilliant fights on thering (ring), frequently nodding, their eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Indeed. With prodigies like these, why worry about our Xia Country not prospering? Why worry about not being able to purge thealien evil god (alien evil gods)!"
A mentor from Magic Martial Arts nodded, his eyes filled withRelieved (satisfaction).
"That girl from the Chu family is good. A 'Sword Heart Through Brightness,' a born Sword Saint. On theBattlefield of Ten Thousand Races (Myriad Races Battlefield) in the future, she will surely be a terror that makes manyalien race (alien races)be terrified (tremble)!"
Not long after, another exciting battle unfolded. Watching Chu Lingyan shine brilliantly on thering (ring), swiftly and decisively defeating her opponent, everyone smiled.
"Her personality is just a bit cold. But perhaps that's what it takes to truly beUltimate Sword (ultimate in the sword)."
Another mentor from Star Martial said.
"This girl from the Shen Family is too lazy! She didn't even fight, directly conceding defeat!"
A mentor from Magic Martial Arts, seeing Shen Ninger directly forfeit, looked livid.
"Hahaha, this is called 'avoiding misfortune and pursuing good fortune.' Not bad. This little girl knows her limits well!"
The other mentors nearby, who clearly also knew this Shen Ninger, all smiled.
"Next, the eighth match of the second round: Zhou Bai from Azure Bird Academy versus Lu Wei from King Kong University!"
After Shen Ninger's match concluded, the host announced the eighth match.
"The main event is here! The match of the 'God of Junior Colleges' is starting!"
"He won one match yesterday by relying on a sneak attack and thinks he's hot stuff again. I can only say, Zhou Bai's journey ends here..."
"Exactly. Lu Wei is from King Kong University, trained in top-tier body tempering techniques, plus perfect beast transformation. Zhou Bai can't rely on sneak attacks. I wonder what he'll use to win..."
"Enough, you junior college brats, stop shouting. Be content with having one lucky spot in the top fifty. Don't be greedy; some things are beyond your grasp..."
"Shouting? I've heard that many of the Top TenTop Freshmen (ace freshmen) are very wary of Zhou Bai. In your words, he's just a lucky top-fifty?"
"Dare to bet? Loser loses their dignity..."
"Bring it on. Anyway, I'm a girl, I'm not afraid..."
...
The surrounding audience immediately erupted into heated discussion.
The VIP mentors also became interested, their gazes expectantly fixed on thering (ring).
Soon after, both Zhou Bai and Lu Wei stepped onto the stage.
"ROAR!!!!"
Lu Wei, having clearly learned from Xu Xiu's lesson, didn't utter any trash talk. He directly activated his talent, transforming into an ancient Dragon Elephant, and charged straight at Zhou Bai.
