Chapter 55 - First ok match

Li Rui nodded as he walked toward the ring.

It was good that she wasn't hurt because that would mean that he could still gain experience from fighting with her.

As for Luo Li, there was a sweet feeling in her heart as she skipped back to the audience seats.

The entire morning went by just like that. Li Rui's matches were all jokes as most of them were weak chickens that they couldn't even trigger the [Triumphant of Hundred] mission!

But there were a few of them toward the end that had actually given him some EXP. Although it was just a very small amount, it was already the best news for Li Rui throughout the entire day.

This meant that his opponents were getting stronger!

Because he had been training with Luo Li, she had also drastically improved and won a few matches with flying colors.

Even the normal members of the Nine-Tailed Fox had tremendously improved. Most of them had more wins than losses and their rankings had gone up.

One of them was Huang JunCai. With his bow and arrow, he had already defeated five weak chickens this morning. By the sixth match, he was exhausted and couldn't even pull the bow, but he was still known as a dark horse of the competition.

This gave pressure to most of the schools that were looking at them from the audience seats.

The overall power of Nine-Tailed Fox this year has really increased…

"She has become so much better!"

Miao XingHui was one of them.

"If you have a powerful opponent to train with every day, you will also improve like her."

Yi KaiCheng sounded a little envious as he looked over at Li Rui.

"If he continues to win like this, you may be able to fight him today!"

"Who? Li Rui?"

Miao Xinghui was shocked but immediately came back to his senses.

That's right, this fellow's ranking might be low, but the hidden score points that he could get from the continuous wins was scary. Plus, there weren't many top-ranking people here today. If he continued fighting like this, he would really have to fight him soon!

As he realized this possibility, Miao Xinghui's scalp went numb.

Luo Li's and Li Rui's ability would definitely qualify for the genius category and he had only recently Awakened which meant that his ranking was only about four thousand plus. If they really met…

A chill ran down his spine as he shook his head.

'Fuck it. Don't think about it, just deal with it if it happens. Just take it as another fight with big brother!"

But, this was exactly how Murphy's law worked.

About mid-noon, most of the matches were already over. Suddenly, Li Rui and Miao Xinghui's names were announced together.

"Fuck!"

Miao Xinghui had a bad expression on his face.

"Haha, just try your best. Good luck!"

Yi Kaicheng patted his shoulder with a schadenfreude face.

"Hmph! He has already fought at least ten matches this morning. Even Iron Man would be tired. I'm lucky to get a cheap bargain!"

Miao XingHui rebutted, but the words that he said sounded more like he was comforting himself.

He wasn't far from where the members of the Nine-Tailed Fox were sitting and he could clearly see that Li Rui wasn't showing any signs of exhaustion. It was clear that he still had lots of energy left.

But, there was already no way back, so he didn't seem nervous.

He wasn't even listening to the coach who was nagging by his ear. He stood next to the ring and stared deeply at his horrifying opponent who had risen from nowhere while holding onto his sword.

'Just let me test out your ability for big brother!'

"Ming De Middle School, Captain of the Nine-Tailed Fox — Li Rui."

"ShangHai City Yi Zhong Middle School, member of the All-Star team — Miao XingHui."

"Bow!"

As the referee went through the procedures, he announced the starting of the match.

"Omg, look! That's the captain of the Nine-Tailed Fox and Miao Xinghui from Yi Zhong!"

There was a noise coming from the audience seat and the atmosphere was finally heightened after all of the boring matches during the entire morning.

"Miao XingHui? The one that joined the starting players of Yi Zhong during his second year?"

"Li Rui even became the school team's captain in his first year! Omg, he's so handsome!"

"How can you compare Ming De to Yi Zhong? Ming De is just rich parvenu. The true powerful martial arts students will still have to depend on the older schools!"

The disgusted tone had a hint of jealousy in it.

But, Miao Xinghui, who was standing in the ring, was focused on Li Rui and did not belittle Li Rui even though Li Rui was just fighting him with his bare hands.

Li Rui, on the other hand, was getting excited. As his opponents became more and more powerful, he would get more and more experience. He had finally reached a critical moment.

He had a feeling that this person could definitely trigger the [Contest of Killing Hundreds] mission!

LET'S DO THIS!

Li Rui started aggressively attacking. He fiercely stepped onto the ring, and with a powerful force, he headed for Miao XingHui with a speed that was faster than an arrow.

Miao XingHui's pupils narrowed as Li Rui's speed was much faster than he expected.

From what Yi Kaicheng had told him, he knew that Li Rui was a defensive Awakener. Usually, these kinds of players would be relatively bulkier, but he hadn't expected Li Rui to be this fast!

He moved to the side and dodged Li Rui's attack. Then, he swung the reinforced plastic sword towards Li Rui's head.

However, Li Rui did not dodge and directly pushed the sword away.

The heavy collision instantly numbed Miao Xinghui's arm. He used his waist as a pivot and once again swung the sword toward Li Rui.

This time around, he had put his energy into the weapon.

Boom!

Li Rui, who had once again blocked the weapon with his bare hands, only felt a slight tingling feeling in his arm. An extreme chill entered through his skin and spread throughout his body.

As his muscles stiffened, Li Rui's body couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.

Miao Xinghui saw the opportunity and took the chance to attack. He gathered all of his energy into one spot and pointed the sword at Li Rui's chest.

This was the energy of a Transcendent!

He was definitely an Awakener!

Li Rui felt happy instead of nervous. The excitement in his blood was flowing like lava in his body which quickly annihilated the foreign energy.

'His speed should be much faster than mine. If I continue fighting like this, it will take a long time. Might as well…'

Li Rui made up a plan in his heart and slowly raised his hand as if he was going to block Miao Xinghui's sword.

There it is!

There was a hint of happiness in Miao Xinghui's eyes as he hadn't thought that his energy would slow down his opponent to this point.

As long as he managed to hit him this time, an endless amount of energy would be accumulated in his opponent's body which would make him much slower. Then, in the end, he would be easily slaughtered by everyone.

However, just as the sword was about to reach his body, Li Rui's speed that was as slow as a tortoise suddenly sped up and all that was left was a shadow.

He dodged the sword that was coming toward him and hit the sword's handle with his left hand. Miao Xinghui, who was holding the sword with his right hand was forcefully pushed aside, revealing his weak spots.

Li Rui's figure suddenly shrank and he chased into his chest like a gorilla.

Iron Mountain Fall!

Boom!

Following the sound of the heavy collision, his armor was slightly disfigured.

Miao Xinghui was like a bullet that had been shot from a gun. He immediately flew three meters away, slid across the floor, and only stopped when he reached the side of the ring.

"What the fuck…"

Although the armor provided a certain amount of protection, Miao Xinghui still felt as if his internal organs had shifted. He was completely stunned.

He struggled while trying to get up, but when he tried to hold himself up, he felt a tight grip around his ankle.

Woah!

The sound of a human body being dragged across the air was extremely resounding. Miao XingHui was directly picked up by Li Rui and swept across the air in a beautiful arc like a toy that had been thrown across the ground.

Boom!

A huge deformation was formed in the flexible ring as if something had fallen onto the trampoline, causing a large hole as it violently bounced off the object that had struck it!
