Chapter 66 - School Tyrant

Chapter 66: School Tyrant

The MVP (Most valuable player) of the competition was awarded to Zhu Wen, the commander. His strategy at the start was particularly outstanding, and regardless of how the team digested it, the school would naturally give credit to the commander.

After some communication, Jiang Xiao also learned that the Star Beads that the school rewarded to the Zhu brothers and Yi Lianna were all from the Dameng Grassland.

Jiang Xiao had never heard of the Zhu brothers’ Star Techniques before. They were of Silver Quality and were said to have come from a kind of sheep-headed monster that carried two Star Techniques, “Collide” and “Night Vision”. As the MVP of the competition, Zhu Wen received an extra Star Bead from the school.

Yi Lianna’s Star Bead was also of Silver Quality and was obtained from a monster-like creature of another dimension in the Dimensional Space in the Dameng Grassland. After searching on the internet, they found out that that Star Bead contained the Star Techniques, “Whip” and “Rattan Whip”.

Jiang Xiao hoped that they could absorb the Star Techniques. After all, to the other Awakened apart from Jiang Xiao, the frequency of acquiring a Star Technique from a Star Bead was very low.

During their conversation, the champions from the previous batch of Year One students, who were also the champions of Year Two, had stepped up to the arena at this moment. There were two boys and two girls who strangely had the same height.

The two boys were about 1.8 meters tall each while the girls were 1.7 meters each. They were standing in a square formation, which was rather interesting. However, they were all standing rather far away from each other.

Unexpectedly, the two boys were standing at the back.

Of course, there was an enthusiastic round of applause from the students after the Year Two champions stepped on the arena.

However, it was nothing much compared to the applause received by the Year Three tyrants.

Su Rou held onto her mobile phone and clutched her chest with her left hand while her right hand trembled a little. She was awestruck and swooned. “Ah, my heart. Although I get to see Li Weiyi every day in class, he never fails to make my heart skip a beat.”

More and more pop-up messages appeared on the mobile phone screen. Clearly, the viewers preferred watching battles of higher standards, compared to a bunch of greenhorns fighting each other.

“Hurry and call the police, a man-obsessed girl here can’t take it any longer!”

“Hey, I like Brother Weiyi too, but my newfound idol is Xiaopi.”

“Yeah, he’s mischievous, cute, and can heal others. It’d definitely be really comfortable to be with him.”

“What era is it now? Why are you guys still so focused on appearance? Practical abilities are the most important. I choose Xiaopi!”

“Where’s the owner of the live-stream? Can you please ban this bunch of old ladies? They’re affecting my mood.”

“Han Jiangxue, my goddess, I love you…”

“Queen Xia, please whip me!”

“Use your giant sword to stab me tenderly in the heart, please abuse me! Queen!”

“Brothers, wake up! Do you think that’s a dagger? Stab you in the heart? If she stabs you with the sword, half of your body will be gone.”

“Ah, it’s alright, it’s made of wood. I won’t die.”

“You probably don’t know how powerful Xia Yan truly is, do you?”

“Idol Wei is the suavest. I watched the video recording of him sitting for the final exam 10,000 times! Idol Wei turned everything around and saved the bunch of greenhorns!”

“Gao Junwei is impressive!”

“She can’t even help a bunch of greenhorns. Goddess? Queen? Useless.”

“Garbage!”

“High five!”

Jiang Xiao had never visited a nightclub before and so had never participated in any rap battles or hip-hop dance battles. He had merely watched television programs of such battles that had been post-processed with added effects.

However, Jiang Xiao finally understood what it meant to rave up the scene!

Gao Junwei rushed directly into the arena. When he leaped up into the sky and landed heavily, the wooden Chinese sword in his hands tumbled and caused a huge pit to be formed in the turf. Golden glitter flowed out continuously and looked extremely wonderful and cool. It was rather eye-catching as well.

“AHHHH!”

“Wow! Wow!”

“School Tyrants! School Tyrants!”

The three members of the team entered and Li Weiyi said, “No one’s going to vie with you for the MVP, don’t worry.”

“Shut up.” Gao Junwei’s eyes turned gloomy and he seemed to be in a hurry. In fact, he was in a hurry to kill the Year Two champions before dealing with the Year One champions.

“Can we begin?” Gao Junwei questioned, glowering at the referee while holding the wooden Chinese sword in his hands.

It was the same referee who did not blow the whistle when Gao Junchen’s younger brother had clearly lost his ability to fight during the battle just now!

Staring at Gao Junwei’s menacing eyes, the referee suddenly felt worried about the Year Two children.

He raised the mini flag and the competition began.

While everyone cheered, Gao Junwei immediately sprung up and scurried towards the team of four from Year Two without any of his teammates.

“Stay strong! Stay strong!” The girl in front of the champions of the Year Two yelled as her Star Map lit up on her body.

1… 2… 3… 25 star slots!

At the same time, a girl who was standing at the front with a knife also lit up her sword Star Map which also contained 25 star slots!

The two boys at the back lit up their Star Maps one after another and fireballs condensed in their hands.

An uproar was caused amongst the viewers as they spammed pop-up messages:

“Oh my gosh, this bunch of bastards. None of them have less than 25 star slots.”

“We often see powerhouses on the internet, but why are the people around us in real life all lowly-qualified kids with just 15 or 16 star slots?”

“Who are you calling lowly-qualified? Do you dare believe that I’ll kill you in a one-on-one fight?”

“Enough. It’s good that you’ve become an Awakened. Why do you guys still bother about how many star slots there are? A bunch of fools.”

The messages got more and more heated up, but this time, Su Rou forgot to take charge and keep the situation in control, because everything that was happening in front of her was way too astonishing.

“Bear with it! Bear with it!” The commander of the Year Two team hollered as he wondered, What exactly is she worried about?

“Roar!” At the next moment, Gao Junwei looked up to the sky and yelled while his Chinese sword Star Map began looming and a dazzling golden star slot emitted a bright light. It was as if the entire world was eclipsed.

—Gold Quality Star Technique, Roar of Fear!

The roar caused everything in the arena to fall silent. Even the students who were extremely far away from the battlefield could not help but feel a little flustered as their limbs began to quiver uncontrollably.

The Year Two champions who were the closest to the arena immediately lost their willpower to fight. At this moment, they did not turn around and retreat, which was an impressive feat.

Clearly, the champions of Year Two had already prepared themselves fully because they were well aware of how formidable Gao Junwei’s Gold Quality Star Technique was.

However, despite having known this prior to the battle, they still could not resist it.

Life was just that unfair.

When faced with an overpowering player like Gao Junwei, even an ordinary player would never reach his level, regardless of how much effort they put in.

People often say that all roads lead to Rome.

Some people spend their entire lives working hard towards reaching Rome.

However, some were born right in Rome.

For example, you might be slogging your guts out and making 3,000 yuan a month to make ends meet while others may have more than 30,000 yuan a day as their allowance.

When one is carefully making calculations and struggling to find Silver Quality Star Techniques and Star Beads, others may be showing off and squandering away their Gold Quality Star Beads.

The boy at the back finally cast his Bursting Flames while the other boy seemed to have suffered heavy consequences as he staggered backward.

His initially awkward expression turned into a look of horror, and he seemed to have seen a terrifying ghost that made him overwhelmed with fear.

“Resist… resist!” The female commander in the front row shouted loudly, trying her best to stay rooted to the ground while waiting for the support of her teammates.

However… the strategy that they imagined did not happen. It turned out that they had still underestimated the power of Gold Quality Star Techniques in the end. The other girl at the front did not wield her sword, however.

Not only did she not use her sword, but she also retreated when Gao Junwei roared again, together with the rest of the students apart from the commander.

They scurried away and began to look like they were trying their best to flee.

It was not that they had bad willpower, but rather, the Star Technique was simply too formidable.

They were the champions of Year Two and yet, they were defeated, which really made everyone dumbfounded.

It… was not a level playing field at all.

There was only one year from Year Two to Year Three. Would there really be such groundbreaking changes?

Or was he a special exception? Had they chanced upon an overpowering player?

“I knew it. You’re the only one who refuses to scram!” Gao Junwei barked at the female commander whom he had been targeting since the start. The truth proved that it was just like what he expected. The rest of the members scrambled away while the female commander gritted her teeth and persisted on.

But what was the point of staying determined?

Gao Junwei held the wooden Chinese sword in his hand, which was shrouded in a golden current. He then swung his sword at the female commander, causing her to take a few steps back. Her body turned sore and numb, and she could not help but move her hands away from her face.

Gao Junwei fiddled with the sword and suddenly stabbed her in the chest forcefully.
