Chapter 138: Bonus Question (3rd update, 10,000 words, please subscribe)
“Damn it, 1 to 0.01 odds, this is worse than nothing!”
Returning from Yan Yulong, Lei San looked at the betting slip in his hand, speechless. Even if Jiang Chen really got first place, this one slip would only earn him 10 million!
10 billion to earn 10 million, damn it, this Yan Yulong is too shrewd!
Sure enough, when Lei San looked back at Yan Yulong’s betting table again, he saw that the guy had directly closed the betting!
Lei San, who looked like a human bear, rolled his eyes. This guy closed the betting too quickly this year.
Returning to Jiang Henian’s side, Lei San reported truthfully to Jiang Henian, who nodded, having already expected it.
On a nearby seat, Zhuang Zheng, dressed in a silk gown and somewhat thin, glanced at Lei San, raised his eyebrows, and said to Jiang Henian with deep meaning, “Principal, gambling is something where small bets are for pleasure, but big bets harm one’s health!”
“It’s rare for you to attend this year, I really don’t want to discourage you!”
Jiang Henian’s lips curved slightly, a faint smile playing on them: “Old Zhuang, you seem very confident today.”
Zhuang Zheng stroked his white beard: “No choice, I’ve taken in a good disciple, so of course, I must be confident!”
Yu Zhicheng and Sun Ling looked at Zhuang Zheng with some surprise.
To be honest, due to Jiang Chen’s outburst, the situation on the field was quite clear at this time.
Jiang Chen’s strength at this moment completely suppressed everyone else!
Jiang Chen was in first place, his score constantly soaring. In just a few minutes, he had already risen from 5,000 points to 6,000, showing a fierce momentum to win the championship!
Although Xie Enze, Gong Hao, Jin Yue, Lu Yu, and others were hot on his heels, there seemed to be an invisible chasm between them and Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen had 6,000 points, they had 5,000 points!
They reached 6,000 points, but Jiang Chen had already climbed to 7,000 points!
They quickly realized that it wasn't that their strength wasn't enough, but that Jiang Chen’s Two-Tailed Fishing Cat was simply too abnormal!
It had invisibility, shapeshifting, and Multiple Water Clones!
The opponent was simply a ghost circling the battlefield. No matter where, as long as a Transcendent Level sea beast appeared, the opponent would immediately show up!
One after another, the Two-Tailed Fishing Cat would madly pounce, quickly eliminate the enemy, and then swiftly hide again! Invisibility after killing, it was very exciting!
Abnormal, it was simply too abnormal!
Is this even a Fishing Cat?
This is simply the Grim Reaper!
Lu Yu’s strengths and weaknesses were completely exposed after arriving at the Transcendent Battlefield.
Her Purple Cloud Electric Eel and Fiddler Crab had high attack power and high damage, but their casting time was long and mana consumption was high.
After each attack, she had to rest, which greatly reduced her efficiency in killing enemies.
Moreover, the sea beasts here on the Transcendent Battlefield were all Level 3 sea beasts. Their reaction speed, defense, and so on were incomparable to Level 2 sea beasts, so the difficulty of killing enemies soared significantly. She couldn't kill them with just one casual attack.
In addition, there were many sea beasts here, and Lu Yu also had to let her Fiddler Crab protect herself while her Purple Cloud Electric Eel went to kill enemies, so Lu Yu’s efficiency in killing enemies immediately decreased.
Among the 6 people, Lu Yu’s ranking unexpectedly fell to the bottom.
Although the others like Jin Yue, Xie Enze, Gong Hao, and Zhao Ziyi had strong individual combat abilities, they were immediately dwarfed when compared to Jiang Chen's Xiao Jiu!
The four of them were all wondering whose pet beast actually had Transcendent Level bloodline and Commander Rank bloodline!
Why was Xiao Jiu’s attack so high and its stealth ability so strong!
The situation was so obvious at this time, yet Zhuang Zheng seemed not to see it, still full of confidence in Zhao Ziyi, which made people confused and strange... Time slowly flowed, and unconsciously it was noon.
At this time, the typhoon weather had weakened a bit, but strong winds were still raging across the sea.
However, the number of sea beasts carried by the typhoon and those that came with it had greatly decreased!
The entire sea area in front of the Underwater Great Wall had completely turned into a sea of blood.
Large amounts of sea beast limbs, severed body parts, and internal organs floated on the sea, blown by the strong wind and slammed against the Underwater Great Wall, forming disgusting splashes of flesh.
Although the sea surface was still raging with strong winds, everyone already knew that this typhoon training was beginning to draw to a close!
No new sea beasts were arriving, and the old sea beasts on the battlefield were few and far between, almost completely wiped out!
The examinees had to search for a while in the combat zone to find one or two sea beasts, and even then, it was the result of multiple people scrambling for them.
Xiao Jiu and Chu Yun floated beside Jiang Chen. At this moment, both beasts were panting heavily, completely unable to move.
After a morning of fierce fighting, both beasts’ spiritual power was almost exhausted, and their physical strength was also depleted!
Chu Yun directly burrowed into Jiang Chen’s arms, her eyes unable to open, her face full of exhaustion.
Xiao Jiu looked envious. It also wanted to hide in its poop scooper’s arms... but as its cultivation increased, its body size kept growing, so this was destined to be just a luxury.
Jiang Chen took out two pieces of sea beast meat from the fuhe shell and fed them to the two beasts. After they finished eating, he put them into his beast taming space to rest.
Xiao Jiu’s efficiency in killing enemies was high, but the physical strength and spiritual power it consumed were also equally astonishing.
At this moment, Jiang Chen’s body was completely devoid of any spiritual power!
The situation of the other Beast Tamers was slightly better, with some spiritual power remaining, but at this point, there were not many enemies left on the battlefield.
Jiang Chen looked up at the ranking on the sea surface:
1st Place: Jiang Chen, 50,000 points
2nd Place: Zhao Ziyi, 45,500 points
3rd Place: Jin Yue, 44,800 points
4th Place: Gong Hao, 44,700 points
5th Place: Xie Enze, 44,300 points
6th Place: Lu Yu, 41,000 points
7th Place... Jiang Chen temporarily held the first place with an absolute advantage, leading the second place by 4,500 points!
Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction. As long as the “bonus question” later wasn’t too difficult, his title of “newcomer king” was guaranteed!
Zhao Ziyi, Jin Yue, and others also floated towards the sea surface to check their rankings.
The five of them went up with expectant faces and returned with dark expressions.
Especially Xie Enze, this little pride of Rong City, his heart was directly torn into several pieces at this moment!
However, Gong Hao, also from Rong City, slowly swam towards Jiang Chen and said with a sincere expression, “Jiang Chen, you are very strong, and I am honored that you are also from Rong City!”
Jiang Chen smiled: “I am honored as well.”
“For the final bonus question, I will strive to defeat you!”
“En.”
Jin Yue, the fiery girl, also swam towards Jiang Chen. After a morning of bloody battle, this hot-bodied girl had some blood and flesh debris on her hair, and her face looked a bit tired, but it still couldn't hide her youthful beauty.
She swam in front of Jiang Chen, her beautiful eyes scanning him from top to bottom, openly: “Excellent, handsome and strong, this is the first time I’ve met a guy more outstanding than me!”
“So, you’re qualified to be my boyfriend. How about we give it a try?”
“...” Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen almost couldn’t hold back. Girl, do you have to be so straightforward when you speak?
Although you do have big breasts and a shapely behind... exactly which aspect of “give it a try” are you referring to?
“Brother Jiang Chen is really amazing, I, Lu Yu, have seen it today,” Lu Yu also swam over to congratulate him.
“Just luck,” Jiang Chen replied.
“I probably have no hope for the bonus question, because I’ve used up all my spiritual power,” Lu Yu pouted and sighed.
Lu Yu had indeed used up all her spiritual power, partly because her Purple Cloud Electric Eel and Fiddler Crab were heavy mana users, and partly because she had been using a spiritual power veil to cover herself throughout.
At this time, Jiang Chen and the other four inevitably bore some battle scars, their combat suits were somewhat damaged, and their hair was even messier.
But Lu Yu didn't. She was as clean and tidy when she came down this morning as she was now.
Jiang Chen smiled. It was clear that Lu Yu was a woman with a clean freak.
“Woo woo woo!!!”
“Woo woo woo!!!”
Just then, a deep and resonant conch sound suddenly echoed throughout the entire Transcendent Battlefield, its sound piercing the sky and sweeping across the three battle zones!
Upon hearing the conch sound, all the students in the Transcendent Battlefield immediately retreated with fearful expressions, falling back to the golden Magic Array between the Elite Battlefield and the Transcendent Battlefield.
Many senior brothers and sisters, while retreating, kept pointing and gesturing towards Jiang Chen and the other six.
Meanwhile, in the Elite Battlefield, many freshmen also emerged, pointing and gesturing at Jiang Chen and the other six.
However, it was clear that the senior brothers and sisters were sighing, while the freshmen were excited and envious!
Upon hearing the conch sound, Zhao Ziyi, who had been expressionless, immediately had a sharp glint in his eyes, and his entire being became excited!
“The bonus question is here, the bonus question is here!”
“Even if it’s a bonus question, I feel like first place should still be Jiang Chen, right?”
“That’s hard to say, after all, his pet beast is powerful, but it also consumes a lot of spiritual power, so whether he can still fight later is still a question!”
“However, the bonus questions have always been very difficult, and almost no one has been able to pass them, so I feel that first place will still be Jiang Chen.”
“I think so too...”
Yes, the conch sound that suddenly rang out at this moment was the signal for the bonus question to begin!
This was a tradition in the “Typhoon Freshman Hegemony Tournament.” When several talented freshmen emerged, and their rankings were very close, a bonus question would be held!
And the bonus question...
“Roar roar roar!!!”
Seeing that all the students had retreated to the Magic Array in the Elite Battlefield, at this moment, in the center of the Transcendent Battlefield, several roars full of oppressive power suddenly echoed!
These beast roars immediately sent shivers down one's spine and filled one with dread!
The next second, on the seabed in the center of the Transcendent Battlefield, a mechanism opened, and then several strong and ferocious sea beasts angrily burst out from inside!
Everyone quickly saw these “bonus question” sea beasts!
“Hiss, oh my god, Red Skull Devil Fanged Fish with Commander Rank bloodline and Transcendent Level strength!”
“Also, Underwater Cutter, Vajra Fish, Earth Rock Lizard, Great Jade Hermit Crab, and Giant Catfish Scythe Saber Fish, all possessing Commander Rank bloodline and Transcendent Level strength!”
“Oh my god, this bonus question is too terrifying, isn't it?”
“Jiang Chen and the other six probably can’t defeat them, can they?”
As the six powerful sea beasts with Commander Rank bloodline appeared, Principal Jiang Henian’s solemn voice also rang throughout the entire Transcendent Battlefield: “The bonus question now begins. Killing one will award 5,000 points!”
Yes, this was the final bonus question of the “new student Typhoon Hegemony Tournament”!
Those who could get into Yingtian Academy were all geniuses from all over the country. The true “newcomer king” naturally had to completely overwhelm others in all aspects, otherwise, how could others be convinced?
And this “bonus question” was the sharp tool to open up the final gap!
