150: Chapter 150 Stunned

The perimeter of the Adventurer Camp was bustling with noise.

Lei Gang led a fully armed military law enforcement team, wearing inspection armbands on their chests, rushing urgently toward the direction of the Holy Court Society.

"Hurry! Officer, it's right up ahead!"

Lei Gang was drenched in sweat, anxious as he ran, looking back to shout at the commanding officer:

"Those scum from the Holy Court Society are completely lawless! They use modified machines to set traps, specifically targeting and scamming new student teams! If we arrive late this time, those students might even lose their lives!"

The commanding officer was a stern-faced middle-aged man named Zhang Tie.

Hearing Lei Gang's accusation, he furrowed his brows, his tone tinged with helplessness:

"Lei Gang, I know you're anxious. But you have to understand, these people from the Holy Court Society... are very difficult to deal with."

Zhang Tie sighed. While his pace remained fast, his words were realistic:

"They've been entrenched in the camp for many years. Although their reputation is rotten and they've been reported countless times for fraud and extortion, they are very cunning. Every operation they conduct crazily tests the limits of what the rules allow."

"Even though we in the military are displeased, without concrete evidence of violations, it's hard to shut them down directly."

"If they had actually crippled or killed someone this time, we would have grounds to intervene and make arrests. But if they only swindled them out of their equipment..."

Zhang Tie shook his head, leaving the rest unsaid.

The implication was clear: if that were the case, they could only help mediate, and it would be difficult to get the equipment back.

Lei Gang was burning with anxiety, his fists clenching until they cracked:

"But we can't just stand by and watch them commit violence! Those few are promising talents from Jiangcheng! They even saved our lives earlier!"

Ji Qing followed behind, her face pale, silently praying in her heart:

"Chen Xi... you must hold on! Please don't die!"

The group rushed headlong into the crowded throng.

"Make way! Military law enforcement!"

Zhang Tie shouted, and the surrounding Professionals scattered to both sides like a startled school of fish, clearing a path.

Lei Gang and Ji Qing were at the front. When they broke through the crowd and finally saw the scene inside, both had prepared themselves psychologically to see a bloody spectacle.

However. The next second.

Lei Gang's advancing foot braked abruptly, and he nearly fell flat on his face due to momentum.

Ji Qing covered her mouth, letting out a gasp of disbelief.

Zhang Tie and the military enforcement team behind them also stood frozen, their expressions shifting instantly from anxiety to dull shock.

In the open space, there was no blood as imagined, nor were there any miserable wails from students.

All that remained was a scene of devastation.

Those five Alloy Training Dummies had turned into five piles of scrap metal emitting black smoke and sparks.

Some were severed at the waist, some were blasted into fragments, and others were embedded in the ground.

The air was filled with a burnt smell.

And atop this pile of ruins, the four-member Nirvana Battle Team was standing there.

Although their clothes were a bit dirty and they looked somewhat exhausted, everyone stood with their heads held high, full of spirit.

Especially Chen Xi, who stood in the center, leisurely adjusting his cuffs, looking calm and collected.

In contrast, outside the arena, that bald man, David, was slumped in his chair, ashen-faced and trembling all over, completely unaware that the half-smoked cigar in his mouth had fallen onto his crotch, burning a hole.

Michelle, beside him, was so scared that her makeup was ruined.

"This..."

Lei Gang rubbed his eyes and pinched his thigh hard:

"Am... am I on the wrong set?"

"Those Wooden Stake Robots... are all shattered?!"

In the deathly silence.

Chen Xi seemed to sense something. He turned his head and happened to see the bewildered Lei Gang and Ji Qing, along with the heavily armed military personnel behind them.

Chen Xi was slightly taken aback:

"Yo? Captain Lei, Senior Sister Ji Qing."

"What a coincidence? I was just worrying about where to find you after the fight."

Hearing this relaxed tone, Lei Gang and Ji Qing felt their throats go dry; they couldn't say a word for a long time.

Coincidence? We came to save your lives, brother! And you ended up tearing the place down?!

At this moment, Captain Zhang Tie of the military law enforcement team finally snapped back to reality.

He glanced at the metal wreckage covering the ground.

He then looked at Chen Xi's excessively young face, and finally turned to look at Lei Gang beside him, his tone becoming extremely strange:

"Lei Gang... you told me on the way... which school is this team from again?"

Lei Gang turned his neck mechanically and answered blankly:

"Jiang... Jiangcheng Vocational University."

Zhang Tie took a deep breath and pointed at Chen Xi:

"What year?"

Lei Gang swallowed his saliva:

"First... First-Year."

"First-Year?!"

Zhang Tie's voice instantly rose by an octave, nearly cracking.

He pointed at the scrap metal on the ground, then pointed at Chen Xi, his eyes widened like copper bells:

"You call this a First-Year University Student?!"

"What kind of First-Year University Student can pull this off?! This destructive power is almost on par with the military's ace special forces!"

Lei Gang and Ji Qing also wore bitter smiles, completely unable to refute.

The surrounding Professionals finally reacted from their shock, erupting into thunderous discussion.

"Oh my goodness! They actually won?!"

"That's so badass! Three-Star Certification! This must be the first rookie team to get a Three-Star Certification since the Adventurer Camp was established, right?"

"The Holy Court Society really kicked an iron plate this time. Not only did they lose everything, but their signboard was smashed too!"

Listening to the surrounding discussion and seeing the shocked expressions of the military, David finally woke up from his fear.

He looked at the priceless machine wreckage on the ground, his heart bleeding. Those were his cash cows that he had spent a fortune modifying! Now they were all destroyed!

And, according to the bet just now...

David's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"They won... they actually won..."

Michelle was trembling on the side:

"David, what should we do?"

David gritted his teeth, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

However. Before he could speak.

Chen Xi had already walked over with his three teammates, striding forward.

He didn't look at Lei Gang, nor did he look at the military personnel, but walked straight up to David.

"Slap!"

Chen Xi slammed his hand onto the table, leaning forward slightly, looking down at the bald, burly man who had been so arrogant just a moment ago.

His voice was very soft, but to David, it sounded like a thunderclap:

"Mr. David."

"The game is over."

"According to our agreement..."

Chen Xi extended his hand, palm up, making a gesture for collecting a debt, his eyes icy and bone-chilling:

"Return our equipment."

"And..."

"That Three-Star Mercenary Certificate..."

"Now, immediately, right now."

"Sign it for me!"
