Chapter 42 - : An Exhilarating Reward
Chapter 42: An Exhilarating Reward
Upon hearing Shen Fei’s words, the principal was a little surprised.
“Shen Fei, are you serious?”
Shen Fei smiled and nodded. “If Luo Jin can defeat my Flame Owl, then I’ll hand over my cultivation room!
Hearing this, Luo Jin looked at Shen Fei in disbelief. But he soon became overjoyed. ‘What an idiot! My spirit beast is a water attribute, and it can completely restrain Shen Fei’s Flame Owl. Without the Three-clawed Golden Dragon, Shen Fei’s Flame Owl won’t be able to use any powerful abilities! I, Luo Jin, must get that special cultivation room today!’
‘Heh, heh…’ The principal could not help but quietly laugh at Luo Jin. ‘This kid Luo Jin, he must have lost his mind.’
Yes, a portion of Shen Fei’s strength came from the Three-clawed Golden Dragon. However, the one who contributed the most to him was the Flame Owl! Even without the Three-clawed Golden Dragon, Shen Fei’s Flame Owl was enough to burn everyone’s spirit beasts into ash. It was the same even for spirit beasts of the opposing attribute.
Why else would he and the chancellors designate Shen Fei to be First Echelon?
The principal looked at Shen Fei with even more admiration. “Since Shen Fei has said so, I’ll allow you to challenge yourselves today! Find someone to fight on your own, and fight in groups of two!
“The one who loses cannot fight again, and the one who wins will have to their opponent for the next round. The person who wins until the end will have the right to cultivate in the best room! As for the rest of you, it will depend on how many matches you win.”
“The principal is wise!” A commotion grew with the students’ excitement. They looked at the key in the principal’s hand excitedly.
Shen Fei’s talent was the worst of them all. If he was prohibited from using the Three-clawed Golden Dragon, he would definitely lose against their higher-class talents!
At that time, no matter what, their ranking would very likely rise by one. The level of the cultivation room would also be higher. None of the students present would miss such a good opportunity.
“Principal, don’t worry.” Luo Jin quickly buttered up to the principal. “I will definitely prove my strength to you.”
“I hope so. I’m looking forward to your performance in the match.” The principal looked at the crowd indifferently. ‘A bunch of idiots who don’t know their place!’
The moment Shen Fei made his move, even if their spirit beasts did not die, they would be crippled at the very least.
It was not because he was biased towards Shen Fei that he did not allow them to fight. Instead, it was for their own good! How could they still laugh in such a situation?
The principal could not help but shake his head as he watched the gleeful students in front of him.
Since this bunch of little brats do not know what was good for them, then he could only let Shen Fei use his strength to slap them around ruthlessly! If they lose their spirit beasts in the competition, they have no one to blame but themselves!
As for the results of the competition… he could imagine the result even with his little pinky finger.
“By the way, the champion of this open duel will receive two boxes of spirit fruits corresponding to the attributes of their spirit beast as a reward. At the same time, there will be a high-level spiritual cultivation manual. I’ll also throw in 300,000 Yuan as a cash prize for the winner! I hope you can all perform well.”
Although his words were directed at everyone, the principal’s gaze had been fixed on Shen Fei the entire time. Shen Fei immediately understood the principal’s intention, and he could not help but feel touched.
Since the principal was so willing to help him with his cultivation, he must not disappoint him.
“Everyone, I’ll see you in the arena.” Shen Fei nodded slightly at the principal, then he turned around and walked towards the arena.
“Let’s go! I’ll definitely make him give up the best cultivation room today!”
“Let’s go, everyone! Let’s do our best!”
The students immediately got into pairs and walked in the direction of the arena.
‘This time, we must let Shen Fei, that arrogant b*stard, learn his lesson!’
…
Not long after, the Echelon students filed into the arena. Many of the students in the audience watched this group of elite students with curiosity. They had heard that there would be a grand competition today, so they came to watch.
At this moment, the principal was already here with numerous prizes. There were boxes of delicious spirit fruits that exuded their elemental auras, stacks of extremely exquisite and expensive cultivation manuals, and a box full of money.
These prizes made many of the regular students’ hearts restless. They wished they could jump onto the stage and compete with the Echelon students.
Luo Jin’s breathing was heavy, and his eyes were fixed on the Law of Spiritual Cultivation at the top of the stack.
‘Is that the only remaining copy?’
There were also the spirit fruits that were piled up to the side. At first glance, they seemed no different from the forest fruits that ordinary families usually acquired.
However, upon closer inspection, one would learn that each spirit fruit had a golden ring similar to an angelic halo. This was one of the best spirit fruits in the world.
The money, too, was not simply the usual currency. Instead, it was the currency of another country in the Continent of Mauling. One Dolar in their country could be exchanged for ten Yuan in this country!
In other words, even though the principal himself had reported the amount of 300,000 Yuan, it was actually higher than that. The money that he had obtained was worth three million-Yuan!
Luo Jin could not help but drool, and his entire body was trembling with ecstasy. He did not expect the principal to think so highly of him. These cultivation resources were simply tailor-made for him!
Luo Jin looked at Shen Fei with provocation.
Once he was able to completely consume all these cultivation resources, even a Three-clawed Golden Dragon would be no more than an earthworm in front of Luo Jin!
The principal looked at Shen Fei and patted the prizes beside him without a care.
“By the way, students, I changed my mind at the last minute. I’ve added more weight to this super large prize. As long as any of you can become the champion of this free-for-all competition, these cultivation resources will all belong to you!
‘He added more?’ Shen Fei’s mouth twitched. ‘This is simply too bountiful!’
He had only wanted to play around in this match. But it seemed that he had to be more serious to be worthy of the reward given by the principal!
All the students’ gazes became heated. Anyone with eyes could see how precious these items were. However, there could only be one champion!
In an instant, the way they looked at their companions changed. Just a moment ago, the atmosphere was still quite harmonious, and they were rallying together against Shen Fei. However, that camaraderie had instantly disappeared without a trace.
“Let’s fight!”
Some of the students could not wait any longer. They hurriedly climbed onto the stage at the side and summoned their spirit beasts to begin the battle!
“Shen Fei, I shall be your opponent!”
Luo Jin took the initiative to step forward. Among the crowd, he was the only one who looked calm. However, just by looking at his eyes, Shen Fei could see that greed had swallowed him completely.
“Let’s go,” Shen Fei said.
Shen Fei and Luo Jin both stepped onto the stage simultaneously!
