239: The last stubbornness

“I never thought that I, a genius of my generation, would one day be utterly crushed,” Chi Zhou said with a bitter smile.

He used to be arrogant, and although he appeared humble on the surface, no one knew the pride hidden in his heart.

But now, an existence of the same level was toying with him, shattering his pride.

As Li Wei’s voice sounded, the two were teleported back to the Wizard Tower.

Lin Ye retracted his giant claw, returning to a state of about two meters.

“You did great!” Feng put his arm around his shoulder, laughing loudly, his chin slightly raised as he looked towards Ting.

Ting was dejected at this moment; it was too difficult. The second match was even worse than the first.

It was a crushing defeat. How could he play?

Chi Zhou stood rooted to the spot, his gaze blank.

“There’s still a third match. Do you still want to continue?” Li Wei asked.

Ting’s eyes lit up. Chi Zhou was not afraid of a willpower contest.

Chi Zhou’s blank gaze instantly cleared. “Help me up, I can still fight!”

“Of course we’ll compete!” the two said in unison.

Feng had no objection to this. It was fine even if they lost this round; they had already won. It was just a matter of winning more or less.

As long as they could win, he didn't care much about the spoils.

“I have no objection,” Feng said.

Lin Ye indicated that he was also fine.

Ting and Chi Zhou were ambitious, hoping to turn the tide.

The willpower competition had a certain relationship with Soul power.

Willpower is the commander, and mental energy is the soldier. The stronger the commander, the greater the role mental energy plays. The more soldiers there are, the more they need the commander's leadership.

The two complement each other. Generally speaking, if one is strong, the other will not be weak.

Even a mediocre commander can be trained after commanding a million-strong army.

In this aspect, Chi Zhou clearly had an advantage; his strongest attribute was mental energy.

The tempering of willpower is difficult and requires experience. In this regard, Chi Zhou also clearly had the advantage; he was over ten thousand years old, several thousand years older than Lin Ye.

The advantage is mine, how can I lose?

Li Wei teleported the two to a training ground. This was a magic array he created for his apprentices to temper their willpower.

Chi Zhou was most familiar with this; he had grown up with it. Tempering willpower was a must for wizards.

Lin Ye indicated that he could just play this round casually. He was confident that his willpower was not weak, but he couldn't possibly compare to someone who specialized in it.

The two sat cross-legged, the magic array activated, and illusions were generated. Both of their brows furrowed.

“We’re definitely winning this round, Chi Zhou is a wizard after all,” Ting said.

“Correction, you’ve already lost. Prepare your stakes,” Feng said.

Ting’s face was as uncomfortable as if he were constipated.

Lin Ye appeared on his past planet, in his past middle school.

“Lin Ye, going to play?” his deskmate asked.

“Huh? Is it that exciting?”

“LOL. Why do you have such a strange expression? Be pure, okay?”

“LOL? Are you out of your minds? The college entrance exam is in ten minutes.”

College entrance exam? Lin Ye was shocked. “Oh no, oh no.”

“Wait, didn’t I transmigrate?”

.......

“Wake up, your wife is dead.”

“Wife, you died so tragically… Wait, where did I get a wife?”

.......

“My lord, come, let’s have fun, there’s plenty of time anyway.” A group of enchanting figures surrounded Lin Ye.

Lin Ye was mesmerized. So many beautiful young ladies, and they were so rich and generous.

......

Scene after scene of illusions impacted Lin Ye’s willpower. For Lin Ye, who was experiencing this for the first time, it was novel and difficult to resist.

However, relying on his willpower, he still held on.

As the illusions became increasingly difficult, they gradually reached Lin Ye’s limit.

Just as Lin Ye was about to sink, the Original Universe within him vibrated, awakening Lin Ye.

“What the hell, you skipped the most exciting part!” Lin Ye was furious.

But he quickly sobered up, then cold sweat streamed down his back. Good heavens, this illusion was also powerful, able to grasp a person’s weakness and weave an illusion around it.

Chi Zhou next to him was sweating profusely, clearly not having an easy time either. Even an old hand like him couldn’t resist for long.

The power of the magic array continued. Every time Lin Ye was about to sink, he would be awakened.

Under these circumstances, his willpower improved rapidly.

Training at the limit is the most effective training. Too light, the effect is poor; too heavy, it's overdoing it. And with the Original Universe, he seemed to have a way to always be at his limit.

A part of the Original Universe's power was manifested.

“I should have won this time.” Chi Zhou, sweating profusely and looking exhausted, was kicked out of the illusion. The last illusion was actually Lin Ye, it seemed he had become his inner demon. However, having reached this level, he should have still won, his inner demon was broken.

Chi Zhou was incredibly confident, finally having won a round.

But when he looked at Lin Ye, he froze, his body involuntarily starting to tremble.

“What’s going on? What’s going on? I actually lost in my most proficient domain!” Chi Zhou’s mentality exploded.

He, who frequently used illusions, naturally knew that Lin Ye was not unconscious or anything else, but genuinely still tempering himself within the illusion.

“Damn it, why?” Chi Zhou was frantic internally.

Unbeknownst to him, the three outside were also stunned.

“Li Wei, are you sure you activated the illusion for Lin Ye?” Ting questioned.

Li Wei wasn't angry; he also felt a bit unconfident. “I’ll go check.”

After checking, he had no choice but to tell Ting that there were no problems whatsoever.

“This shouldn’t be. How could his willpower be so strong? Impossible, absolutely impossible,” Ting muttered to himself.

The three present were all Lords, and their understanding of willpower was very deep, so they naturally saw through Lin Ye’s willpower strength long ago.

Feng was also incredulous. “Won again?”

“Could it be that his resistance is relatively high?” Li Wei pondered.

A thousand people have a thousand faces; everyone’s talent is also different. Encountering someone with strong resistance to illusions doesn’t seem too difficult to understand.

“Perhaps,” Feng said, somewhat unconfidently.

“You call this ‘relatively high’? This resistance has reached a near-immune level, okay?!” Ting cried out, heartbroken. He lost, he lost. The stakes were going to be doubled.

Lin Ye couldn't hold on later either. Although the Original Universe could prevent him from sinking, he was defeated too quickly and was kicked out of the illusion. At this point, the illusion’s intensity reached 100 times the Stellar River Level.

When he came out, he saw Chi Zhou staring blankly at him.

“Lin Ye, wins.”

Li Wei’s voice came, and the two were moved to the Wizard Tower.

“Good heavens, you’ve really given your senior brother a huge surprise!” Feng patted Lin Ye’s shoulder affectionately.

Although he had cheated, the cheat was also his talent, so Lin Ye unhesitatingly accepted the praise.

Chi Zhou, whose Dao Heart was shattered, was being comforted by Ting nearby.

This was the Chi family’s genius. If he were to be ruined by him, then offending the Chi family would be much more serious than the loss of those stakes.

Although the stakes were quite high, Ting silently shed tears.
