144: Ring challenge, Kakegurui!

This scene instantly attracted a lot of attention.

The title of National College Entrance Examination Top Scorer was something the new students knew about, more or less.

It was said that he had achieved an unprecedented high score.

He secured first place with an overwhelming result.

Such a person being challenged would certainly be very exciting.

Xia Qi had actually waited for a long time, and when Li Pengfei ran over to challenge him, a hint of killing intent still appeared in his eyes.

This guy really didn't know how to write the word 'death'.

He had provoked him again and again.

This time, it was the perfect opportunity to 'play' with him properly.

Seeing that Xia Qi didn't speak, Li Pengfei's mouth was about to curl up to the sky.

"Oh, National College Entrance Examination Top Scorer, if you don't speak, could it be that you're scared?"

Scared?

Xia Qi smiled, a wild and unrestrained smile.

"Tell me, how many points will you offer?"

Li Pengfei's face lit up with joy, "I'll offer five thousand points, how about it?"

"Not good at all. You want to challenge the College Entrance Examination Top Scorer with just five thousand points? You're looking down on the Top Scorer too much."

Xia Qi shook his head, his tone quite disdainful.

Five thousand points is still too little? Under normal circumstances, one couldn't even earn five thousand points in one or two months.

Li Pengfei's expression changed, and he frowned.

"Then how much do you say?"

Xia Qi narrowed his eyes and held up two fingers.

"Twenty thousand? It's not impossible, I'll put up these points."

Li Pengfei gritted his teeth and agreed.

Although twenty thousand points was a bit much, Li Pengfei was an old student and still had some on him.

"Wrong, it's two hundred thousand points!"

Xia Qi said, shaking his head.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

How much?

Two hundred thousand points?!

At this, both new and old students showed bewildered expressions.

Are you kidding? Who among normal people would have two hundred thousand points in their hands?

Even if they did, it would be impossible to use it for a challenge.

Among those present, besides the old students, the most anyone had was about ten thousand points.

Usually, it was just a few thousand points.

Students like Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu, who were second and third in their respective provinces, only had two or three thousand points.

So, what was the concept of two hundred thousand points?

Many students might not even possess two hundred thousand points by the time they graduate.

This wasn't a challenge; this was robbery!

Li Pengfei's face was grim. He looked at Xia Qi with fierce eyes, "What kind of joke are you playing? Do you know what two hundred thousand points means?"

"Do you even have two hundred thousand points on you that you dare to shout like that?"

As soon as these words came out, many people nodded in agreement.

Two hundred thousand was indeed too much.

Xia Qi didn't care. Instead, he changed the subject, "Since you think I don't, how about this: let's make a bet."

"However many points I have on me, if you win, you take them. If I win, you just pay the same amount of points."

"With these conditions, surely you dare to challenge, right?"

Yun Qingyue and Yu Qiu were also a bit surprised.

They knew that Xia Qi must have earned a lot of points at the Home of Dungeons these past few days.

It seemed that this Li Pengfei probably had a grudge with Xia Qi.

Otherwise, Xia Qi wouldn't be trying to push Li Pengfei to his death like this.

"Alas, it seems someone is going to be unlucky."

Yu Qiu sighed and said quietly.

"Yes, it's rare to see Brother Xia Qi dislike someone so much, but that person definitely deserves it."

Yun Qingyue clenched her small fists, her words entirely biased towards Xia Qi.

Now, the problem was thrown to Li Pengfei.

His face alternated between red and white. To be honest, he was a little hesitant.

Sikong hadn't supported him with any points, and all the points he had were hard-earned savings.

To continue improving his strength, points were essential.

The key was that he couldn't be sure how many points Xia Qi had on him.

"What, scared now?"

Xia Qi said with a narrowed smile.

"Scared? Are you kidding? Me, scared of you? I accept this bet."

Li Pengfei's strength wasn't great, but his temper was.

Just a slight provocation, and he quickly fell into the trap.

The other old students had also chosen their respective challengers, and everyone began to move, heading to the challenge arena in Shengjing.

The several big shots hidden in the air chuckled.

"Does War God Academy still have such a foolish student?"

Zhang Dongsheng shook his head and said.

"He doesn't even know Xia Qi's background, yet he dares to rashly accept the challenge. This is simply hopeless."

General Hu also said with a smile, "I know Li Pengfei, one of the two brothers from the Li family. Last time, his younger brother wanted to enter War God Academy but I rejected him. I didn't expect him to be so narrow-minded as to cause trouble for Xia Qi."

"It's a pity, he picked the wrong target..."

In their mouths, Li Pengfei was like a foolish student.

Even if such a person was a scion of a powerful family at War God Academy, his future prospects would be limited.

"If he loses, I'm afraid he won't be able to pay."

"Do you know how many points Xia Qi has on him?"

Zhang Dongsheng asked, sidelong. He was very clear about how crazy Xia Qi had been at the Home of Dungeons these past few days.

"Oh, how much did that kid earn?"

"Two hundred twenty thousand, and that's not even counting what he already had. A conservative estimate is close to three hundred thousand points."

"Damn, that kid earned so much?!"

This time, it was General Hu's turn to be surprised.

Even those senior students from the academy who dealt with dungeon missions all day long couldn't possibly have that many points.

Two to three hundred thousand, that was no small sum.

After all, in Shengjing, it was very difficult to save points. Buying equipment required points, buying Materials required points.

Going into dungeons to Cultivate and so on, all required points.

However, the ways to earn points were relatively long, therefore.

The vast majority of students, to ensure the stable growth of their own strength, found the consumption of points indispensable.

As such, not many people could save a lot of points.

Soon, everyone arrived at the challenge arena.

By this time, there were already many people watching below the arena, all old students from various academies.

They knew that every year after the opening ceremony, there would be such a challenge match, and many people had been waiting here early to watch the show.

At the same time, the healers arranged by the school were also ready.

Accompanied by the sound of a bronze drum, the New Student Challenge officially began.

"First up, the first match: New Student Zhan Fei versus Yue Wang."

The female host began the introduction.

Both were warrior professions.

The former was the top scorer of Xiang Province, Rank 20.

The latter was a student from Lingkong Academy, Rank 28.

During the challenge, personal weapons and items were forbidden; only the standardized equipment prepared on the arena could be used.

The two chose their equipment, and under the suppression of the Formation, their Rank was set to 20.

It looked very fair; everyone's Rank and equipment were identical.

Yue Wang chuckled softly, "Junior, shall I begin?"

"Okay, please guide me, Senior."

As his voice fell, Yue Wang's expression changed, and he quickly rushed towards Zhan Fei.

Blade Skill: Gale Frenzy Slash!

Yue Wang was skilled at using a blade, and his blade technique, even with suppressed attributes, was still very sharp.

Zhan Fei, in a panic, raised his longsword to counter, but was forced back step by step by the sharp blade technique.

One step slow, every step slow.

Whether in experience or skill, Zhan Fei, who considered himself a Genius, was no match for Yue Wang.

Slice!

A cold glint flashed, and a deep gash was cut across Zhan Fei's chest, blood instantly spurting out.

In pain, Zhan Fei's guard opened wide, and his flaw was immediately exposed.

Just as he realized something was wrong, the cold blade was already pressed against his neck.

"Junior, surrender, don't bleed too much..."
