Chapter 29 Cloud Top Villa, A New Rival
The commotion in the Gravity Corridor had made Jiang Chen a celebrity before he had even officially enrolled.
But for the person in question, he only cared about one thing—the dormitory.
The dormitory area of Imperial Capital Martial Arts University was divided into four Ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
The Yellow-Rank was a standard four-person room, the Profound-Rank was a double room, and the Earth-Rank was a single apartment.
As for the Heaven-Rank, it consisted of detached villas located atop the Spiritual Vein on the back mountain of the campus!
For the entire freshman class, there were only ten spots available.
At this moment, at the freshman dormitory allocation center.
An instructor in charge of allocation looked at Jiang Chen in front of him with a difficult expression: "Student Jiang Chen, although you are the top scholar of Jiangnan Province and have the highest points in history, according to the regulations, Heaven-Rank villas must be obtained through a 'challenge'."
"A challenge?" Jiang Chen yawned. "Who do I fight?"
"Someone who has already moved in, or someone who also wants to move in." The instructor pointed to the large screen.
The screen displayed the numbers of the ten villas.
Among them, the most prestigious "Heaven-Rank No. 1"—Cloud Top Villa, was currently displayed as "Pending."
And below the name of that villa, one name was already flashing: General Lei Hu (Imperial Capital Lei Family, S-Rank Lightning Talent).
"I want No. 1."
Jiang Chen pointed to that villa at the very top.
He had checked the information; Cloud Top Villa was built on a Spiritual Spring Eye, came with a built-in constant temperature Formation and a Spirit Gathering Formation, and that location was the quietest, with no one to disturb him.
It was simply the perfect Holy Land for sleeping.
"Yo, isn't this that kid who was sleeping in the Gravity Corridor?"
A rough voice rang out.
The crowd parted, and a burly man over two meters tall, with muscles like an iron tower, walked over.
His hair stood up on end, showing an eerie purple-blue color, and arcs of electricity were faintly jumping around his body.
General Lei Hu.
A top Genius native to the Imperial Capital, he had already reached the Peak of the ninth level of the Bone Forging Realm before even enrolling, only one step away from the Organ Refining Realm.
He looked down at Jiang Chen with disdain in his eyes: "What, you also have your eye on the No. 1 villa? I advise you to go squeeze into the Yellow-Rank; that place is more suitable for a weakling like you."
"Big guy."
Jiang Chen looked up at him, and did not exhibit any Life Qi, instead asking with a serious face, "Do you snore when you sleep?"
"Huh?" General Lei Hu was stunned.
"Looking at your physique, your nasal resonance should be quite loud." Jiang Chen shook his head. "Being your neighbor is too noisy. So, I want this No. 1 villa. You, go live at the foot of the mountain."
"You're courting death!"
General Lei Hu was furious.
He was used to running rampant in the Imperial Capital; when had he ever been so looked down upon?
"Since you want to snatch it, then let's go to the arena! Life or death, no holds barred!"
...
Ten minutes later, the freshman arena.
The surroundings were already crowded with students watching the commotion.
One was the famous local overlord General Lei Hu, and the other was the powerful outsider Dragon, Jiang Chen, who had just created a miracle.
This duel ignited the entire audience.
On the arena.
General Lei Hu grinned and flexed his wrists, his whole body blazing with lightning, like a god of thunder: "Kid, I will crush your bones one by one and let you know how deep the waters are in the Imperial Capital!"
In contrast, Jiang Chen actually... took a pillow out of his backpack.
Yes, a pillow.
He placed the pillow by the pillar at the edge of the arena, then leaned against it, crossed his arms, and closed his eyes.
"Come on, I'm in a hurry to move."
"Arrogant!!!"
General Lei Hu was completely enraged.
"Thunderous Force!"
He roared, and his entire body transformed into a purple bolt of lightning, rushing toward Jiang Chen with an Aura that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.
That punch, wrapped in violent lightning power, was enough to blast a tank to pieces!
"It's over, this kid is too conceited!"
"General Lei Hu possesses a rare elemental talent; one punch from him will leave one dead or disabled!"
Just when everyone thought Jiang Chen would be blasted to dust.
Jiang Chen's body suddenly tilted slightly.
This seemingly unintentional movement exactly avoided General Lei Hu's lethal punch.
The wind from the punch grazed his clothes and blasted a large hole in the pillar behind him.
"What?!" General Lei Hu was shocked.
Before he could react, Jiang Chen suddenly extended a foot.
The timing of this foot was perfect, catching the exact moment when General Lei Hu's old strength had been exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated.
A trip!
For someone charging at high speed, this was simply fatal.
"Damn it!"
General Lei Hu exclaimed, his massive body instantly losing its balance, and he fell forward like a bulldozer.
And right on the path where he fell, one of Jiang Chen's hands had already been waiting there.
That hand looked fair and slender, with no sense of power.
But the moment it made contact with General Lei Hu's face, a massive, suffocating soft force suddenly erupted.
Taiji · Grasping the Sparrow's Tail!
Jiang Chen still had his eyes closed, and borrowing General Lei Hu's momentum, he grabbed his collar, drew a circle in the air, and then gently pressed down.
Boom!!!
A loud bang.
General Lei Hu's two-meter-plus tall body was pressed into the specially made alloy floor by Jiang Chen with one hand!
The entire arena was trembling.
Amidst the flying rubble, General Lei Hu rolled his eyes, his whole body twitching, and he foamed at the mouth—he had been knocked unconscious by that throw.
As for Jiang Chen, he still maintained his posture of leaning against the pillar, holding that pillow in his hands, as if everything that had just happened was just an unconscious movement while he turned over.
【Ding! Defeated a strong enemy (Bone Forging Realm, ninth level).】
【Obtained Experience Points: 8000.】
【Obtained special item: Lightning Spirit Bead (can be used to strengthen the attack attributes of the Nightmare Clone).】
【Evaluation: Borrowing force to strike, sleepiness in full swing.】
Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at General Lei Hu embedded in the floor, and shook his head:
"I already told you that you were too noisy. This is much quieter."
He stood up, brushed the dust off his body, and looked at the allocation instructor below the stage who was already dumbfounded.
"Teacher, the key."
The whole audience was silent.
Everyone looked at the lazy youth on the stage, and a chill rose in their hearts.
One move!
Just one move, without even moving his feet, he had instantly defeated General Lei Hu, one of the top ten Prodigies of the Imperial Capital!
How is this a Sleep God? This is clearly a Tyrannosaurus Rex in sheep's clothing!
From today on, Cloud Top Villa had a new owner.
