Chapter 137: Master Shiwu: What the Hell!

Chapter 137: Master Shiwu: What the Hell!

The main team of Wuda University was assigned a room.

The number was "168"!

This number was great, very auspicious.

But the luck of Wuda didn't seem so good.

After everyone confirmed their opponents, Principal Lu said:

"The opponent assigned to me by the secret realm is that Ms. Qin!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

There was no need for Principal Lu to explain who Ms. Qin was—everyone knew.

Or rather, there wasn't a single person in the entire country who didn't know this top-tier figure.

Even a three-year-old kid might have heard of Qin Muyin's name.

Everyone looked at Principal Lu with expressions of sympathy.

Seeing this, Principal Lu smiled slightly and said, "Knowing there's no way I could be her opponent, I forfeited."

The crowd was first stunned, then expressed understanding.

Old Liu immediately said, "Principal, you did the right thing by forfeiting."

Principal Lu nodded, looking calm.

Suddenly, he noticed that Mr. Cai, who was standing next to him, seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Xiao Cai?" Principal Lu immediately asked, "What's wrong? Did you get assigned a tough opponent?"

Mr. Cai nodded and solemnly said, "My second-round opponent is Chairman Ba of the Ability Users Association!"

What the hell…

The crowd was shocked.

What kind of luck is this?

They drew two supreme opponents in a row?

Is the secret realm messing with Wuda's main team?

Soon, everyone's expressions turned serious.

The main forces of Wuda's team were Principal Lu, Mr. Cai, and the sister-in-law, Gao Ye, who were all Tier 5 powerhouses.

But in just the second round, two of their main forces were out...

How are they supposed to continue?

Rely on sister-in-law Gao Ye alone?

Does she have enough power to carry the whole team?

"Sigh!"

Principal Lu sighed, then smiled and said, "It's fate. We should take it easy! Winning or losing in a single secret realm isn't that important, there's no need to force it."

Everyone nodded upon hearing this, accepting it as well.

After all, no one could change the rules of the secret realm, and there wasn't even a channel to protest.

Principal Lu then asked, "Xiao Cai, did you forfeit?"

"I did…" Mr. Cai seemed a bit embarrassed: "I forfeited because I ran out of time."

Principal Lu patted Mr. Cai on the shoulder, smiling, "Well, now we can play a good game of chess."

His calm attitude affected Mr. Cai, who also smiled.

At this moment, Tang Zichen suddenly asked curiously, "Chen Ye, who is your second-round opponent?"

"Oh," Chen Ye smiled and said, "It's that monk whose dharma name is 'Shiwu.'"

Upon hearing this, the crowd was shocked again.

Master Shiwu was also a well-known Tier 6 powerhouse in the country!

He was a big name in the Buddhist community, and the sect had spent a lot of money on promoting him back in the day.

During that time, Master Shiwu's name was known nationwide!

In terms of fame, Master Shiwu was no less famous than Tang Zichen now.

But this guy got too arrogant after becoming famous and went to challenge Chairman Ba, thinking he could step on Ba to rise up.

Naturally, it ended badly—he got a harsh lesson from Chairman Ba and made a fool of himself!

If not for that incident, Master Shiwu would definitely be a star powerhouse in the country!

But no matter what, Master Shiwu was still very famous and was a genuine Tier 6 powerhouse.

Oh...

I heard Master Shiwu got injured last time during the fight for the Elemental Magic Crystal Core in Daxing, which slightly affected his strength?

But even so, he's not someone Chen Ye can handle, right?

"Three Tier 6 opponents in a row?" Cao Yu immediately shouted, "Is our team just too unlucky?"

This statement was met with agreement from the crowd.

Zhao Zheng even asked directly, "Senior Brother, did you forfeit?"

"Forfeit?" Chen Ye smiled, "If I forfeited, who would carry you all?"

As soon as he said this, it earned him several eye rolls.

"Old Chen, we're being serious here!" Cao Yu said.

"Alright! Since you all think I'm bragging, I'll be serious—I didn't forfeit... I heard that the monk got seriously injured recently? Maybe I can win!"

Principal Lu said, "I was there when he got injured, it was indeed serious... But he's still not someone you can handle. If you get on the ring, just surrender immediately!"

Chen Ye didn't argue and nodded, "Fine, if I feel like I can't win, I'll surrender."

Only then did the crowd stop talking about Chen Ye.

But everyone's expressions were still clouded with worry...

Except for Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.

After they sat down, Tang Zichen quietly asked, "Are you confident?"

Chen Ye quietly replied, "An old acquaintance—his injury was caused by me. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zichen immediately smiled...

Soon, the second round of eliminations began.

*Just after sitting down, Chen Ye suddenly stood up, surprised:*

"I didn't expect it—I'm up in the first round... Arena 3."

As his words fell, a portal appeared in front of him.

Chen Ye took a step and entered it.

Zhao Zheng, Cao Yu, and the others immediately focused their attention on Arena 3.

Although they all knew that Chen Ye was unlikely to be a match for Master Shiwu, they still hoped for a miracle.

...

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of House No. 9527.

Master Shiwu, upon receiving the notification, also stood up.

"Arena 3!"

He simply said this and then stepped into the portal, arriving at Arena 3.

Seeing the young bald man opposite him, Master Shiwu felt an instinctive dislike.

It was because Chen Ye's appearance bore a striking resemblance to Chairman Chen.

Seeing Chen Ye reminded Master Shiwu of the severe injuries and humiliating defeat he had suffered in Daxing!

And Master Shiwu's appearance caused quite a stir!

After all, he was a Tier 6 powerhouse and a former national celebrity.

Maybe some ordinary people didn't recognize Master Shiwu, but within the circle of ability users, everyone knew how terrifying this monk's defense was.

"Is that... Master Shiwu?"

"That's him, no doubt, but wasn't he injured? How come he's here?"

"Haven't you seen the news? It was reported that Master Shiwu would accompany Captain Qin and the enforcement team."

"Why didn't he show up in the first round?"

"Do you even need to ask? His opponent in the first round must have been so scared they forfeited right away!"

"That young bald guy, isn't he Chairman Chen's son? He's in trouble now!"

"I'm impressed this kid even had the guts to show up. Does he not know how powerful Master Shiwu is?"

"Hmph, a C-level talent who got fire abilities and thinks he's hot stuff. Let's see how Master Shiwu teaches him a lesson."

...

No one believed in Chen Ye's chances.

Except for the main team of the Ability Users Association.

At this moment, on the rooftop of House No. 19, the members of the Ability Users Association were all focused on Arena 3.

"Chairman Chen, your son is up. His opponent... oh, it's that bald monk Shiwu!" one of the branch presidents said.

The Ability Users Association and the enforcement team were rivals, so it was no surprise that the higher-ups in the association had no kind words for Master Shiwu.

"That bald monk Shiwu is no joke! His defense is so strong that perhaps only our chairman and Brother Guo could break it," said one of the core members.

The "Brother Guo" mentioned was an advisor to the Ability Users Association, a Tier 6 powerhouse with S14 talent (metal bat).

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man holding a metal bat immediately shook his head and said, "Stop flattering me. I can't break through Shiwu's defense—only our chairman can!"

Everyone looked at the chairman.

Ba Liming didn't say a word; he just seriously watched the arena.

"Chairman Chen, do you think your son can take down Master Shiwu?" someone asked.

Chairman Chen chuckled in response: "No problem at all."

Since everyone forgets everything after leaving the secret realm, Chairman Chen saw no need to pretend in front of his colleagues.

"Oh? You're that confident in your son?"

"Of course!" Chairman Chen said with a smile, "Master Shiwu was severely injured last time. If he can even exert Tier 5 strength now, it'd be impressive! My son can take care of him easily."

Seeing Chairman Chen's confidence, the others curiously turned their attention back to Arena 3.

...

At this moment.

In Arena 3.

Chen Ye and Master Shiwu were already facing each other.

"Monk, we meet again!"

Chen Ye greeted with a smile.

"You've met me before?"

Before Chen Ye could respond, Master Shiwu said matter-of-factly, "Oh! You must have asked me for an autograph at my book signing, right?"

"Book signing?" Chen Ye was surprised, "Monk, you've published a book?"

"Enough!"

Master Shiwu waved his hand, "I don't have time to waste with you. Kid, now that you've seen me in person, are you not planning to surrender?"

Chen Ye merely nodded, his attitude indifferent.

Master Shiwu then said, "Fine, since you're a junior, I'll let you have three moves. Don't say I'm bullying you. If you can make me take a step back within three moves, I'll let you win. How about that?"

Chen Ye: "???"

This sounded so damn familiar!

Originally, Chen Ye planned to solve the fight with a punch, but a thought suddenly struck him.

Principal Lu's earlier match with Qin Muyin had made Chen Ye a bit cautious.

What if he, too, got matched with a supreme opponent in advance? He had to be prepared for that!

As for his current strength, could he defeat Qin Muyin?

Chen Ye thought probably not.

Qin Muyin's mental attributes were likely over 5000, which was terrifyingly high!

Besides, everyone had been holding back in the previous matches.

If he accidentally killed Master Shiwu with a punch, it would be a bit awkward.

"Really? You're really going to stand still and let me make three moves?"

Chen Ye said, "Monk, you're not going to go back on your word, right?"

Master Shiwu, impatient, replied, "It's true. Hurry up and show me your strongest move! I want to see how powerful your fire ability is!"

"Alright!!"

Chen Ye clenched his fist tightly.

Poof! 

Blazing flames appeared, burning on his fist.

Then, Chen Ye punched towards Master Shiwu from a distance!

"Fire Fist!!"

A fiery fist materialized, growing larger as it flew, quickly expanding to a massive size, over ten meters wide.

The entire arena was illuminated with a fiery red glow!

Whoosh! Whoosh! 

The giant fire fist roared as it sliced through the air, like an intercontinental ballistic missile, carrying destructive power as it bore down on Master Shiwu.

On the opposite side, Master Shiwu's eyes suddenly widened...

What the hell!!!
