Chapter 192: Great Feud

Bang!

A ray of lightning and thunder exploded loudly behind Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui was still fleeing with all his might and everything was extremely dangerous. He almost got struck by the lightning.

Zhang Hui!?!

Yes, it was Zhang Hui who had been frightened into running away and disappearing without a trace by Gao Junwei’s roar.

At this moment, the three other members of Xing Lang’s team had already withdrawn from the competition. However, Zhang Hui didn’t because he had been looking for an opportunity!

More interestingly, when the team was attacked, Zheng Jiang suggested that they withdraw from the competition at the critical juncture. However, Zhang Hui, one of the members of the team, had overcome the ordeal and was not expelled from the Arsenal by the referee.

Zhang Hui was one of the ten people who gathered in the forest at the beginning.

Zhang Hui had also caught up with Wu Haoyang’s team and chased Gao Junwei’s team.

It would never be too late for revenge.

Not to mention, they only had to wait for three days.

Zhang Hui was unsure if he was taking revenge or not, but he knew that he would just have to enter the semi-finals and get into the top eight in order to be rewarded.

Zhang Hui’s family was wealthy, but money alone wouldn’t allow him to buy high-quality Star Beads.

The rewards given by the officials during the Beijiang Province High School League had always been hefty!

“This kid has struck a fortune. The huge bundle of weapons is so heavy. He’s going to be exhausted,” Xia Yan said with raised brows as she looked at Zhang Hui running away.

“The girl chasing at the back is Yu Zhen, a member of the elite team from Jiangbin High School No. 3,” Jiang Xiao said.

Why did Jiang Xiao have such a sullen expression?

It was because he had recognized the girl to be Yu Zhen.

Ever since their team completed the verification process, Jiang Xiao had gained a rough understanding of the participating teams in the past few days. He also knew the details of a few teams.

Why did Jiang Xiao know about Yu Zhen?

Of course, it was because she was in the same team as Gao Junwei!

“Put the backpack down!” Yu Zhen exclaimed while holding onto the illusory scepter. As a Rules Awakened, she definitely was physically strong. Hence, she could completely keep up with Zhang Hui’s footsteps.

Zhang Hui was an agile melee fighter. Hence, being fast and agile was his forte.

One could imagine how strong Yu Zhen was.

However, Zhang Hui appeared gloomy as he remained silent. Being quick to react, he suddenly saw Jiang Xiao’s team deep in the forest.

More specifically, he saw the tall and gorgeous Xia Yan.

All of a sudden, Zhang Hui’s eyes lit up and he immediately changed direction and ran towards Xia Yan instead.

“That woman is very strong, she can launch lightning attacks instantaneously,” Li Weiyi said while standing in front of the team.

Han Jiangxue answered calmly, “Okay.”

While holding onto the long sledgehammer, Li Weiyi asked, “Do you want to get Zhang Hui to come here?”

Han Jiangxue frowned, seemingly not willing to protect Zhang Hui. She had never changed her intentions before. Apart from a select few, she didn’t care about most people in the world.

“Help me! I’ll give you guys half of these weapons!” exclaimed Zhang Hui, who seemed to be a pragmatic person. It was just like how he had continuously suggested that Xing Lang drop by Han Jiangxue’s cabin on the train. Worried that Xing Lang might have failed to express their intentions, he went ahead himself and visited Han Jiangxue’s team to express his intentions.

Now that he was on the verge of being killed by Yu Zhen who was hunting him down, Zhang Hui did not pin any hopes on trying to convince her based on the fact that they were acquaintances. Instead, he chose to attract them into agreeing by offering some tempting benefits.

Jiang Xiao was thrilled and said, “Brother Li, open your shield.”

Li Weiyi was slightly stunned, but he heard Han Jiangxue say, “Listen to Xiaopi.”

Li Weiyi blinked, but nonetheless, he put up his shield.

In fact, Han Jiangxue had no idea what Jiang Xiao was intending to do, but she had already been through such a situation countless times before.

If Han Jiangxue had a little more time, she wouldn’t have chosen to give Jiang Xiao the right to command. Instead, she would have analyzed the situation herself and made sound judgments before coming up with a beneficial decision for the team.

Han Jiangxue recognized Jiang Xiao’s wisdom in handling situations that cropped up at the last minute. Such situations had happened several times before and Jiang Xiao would often be able to make relatively wise decisions in the shortest amount of time in order to deal with unexpected situations.

Zhang Hui’s face grew sullen and he exclaimed, “Han Jiangxue!?! Help me! 70-30! You guys will take 70% of the weapons while I keep 30% of them!”

Jiang Xiao nodded secretly, for that was what he wanted. Li Weiyi was not good at being fast. How could a shield stop Zhang Hui?

He made Li Weiyi put up his shield, undoubtedly for the sake of expressing their stand.

Jiang Xiao questioned loudly, “You want us to fight for you just for a few dozen weapons?”

Bang!

After another ray of thunder exploded, Zhang Hui’s body was still affected. He was directly blown forward, but fortunately, he moved swiftly and his position was also strategic enough for him to not be struck by the thunder.

Otherwise, Zhang Hui would not only fall onto the ground, but he would even feel numb all over and end up letting Yu Zhen catch up with him.

“90-10, will that do!?!” Zhang Hui exclaimed as he painstakingly tried to get up with his dagger in hand.

Yu Zhen was still somewhat far from Zhang Hui. However, Zhang Hui threw out a Flame Arc together with the wave of his dagger.

Jiang Xiao muttered, “90-10? M foot. Leave all the weapons behind. I want the backpack that you’re carrying, how does that sound?”

Zhang Hui froze in shock for a while and almost cussed out loud. After enduring it for a while, he barked. “Jiang Xiaopi! Are you really Han Jiangxue’s younger brother? How did the Han Family, the family of Wasteland Reclaimers give birth to something like you…”

Jiang Xiao chuckled and said, “I was adopted.”

Everyone was speechless.

No matter whether others had heard it or not, he had heard it clearly anyway. Yu Zhen wanted Zhang Hui’s backpack and not the weapon in his hand.

Clearly, the backpack should contain the Ape Ghoul medals which were worth higher points!

“Take it! I’ll give it to you!” Zhang Hui exclaimed as he took the backpack off his back forcefully and threw it at Li Weiyi.

Li Weiyi put his shield away and hugged the mediocre-looking military backpack.

Swish…

Zhang Hui crawled past them with the large bundle of weapons in his arms. Panting heavily, he sprawled onto the ground and was considered safe.

“Give me the bag!” Yu Zhen exclaimed as she caught up and glowered at everyone in exasperation.

Zhang Hui panted heavily and said, “Don’t listen to her… these things have all been robbed away by them… our team… Xing Lang, Zheng Jiang, and Liu… Chang, have all been forced to withdraw from the competition.”

Everyone was a little stunned, for they didn’t expect that to be the story.

However, it made sense.

Such events were not rare or surprising because they would occur during every provincial high school league each year.

The competition was meant for selecting powerful students and teams. The competition itself encouraged fighting and confrontation.

Jiang Xiao grabbed the military backpack and asked, “They robbed these?”

Yu Zhen frowned slightly, seemingly having realized what Jiang Xiao was going to say.

Jiang Xiao nodded, took the backpack from Li Weiyi with one hand, and said, “I like a dog-eat-dog world.”

Yu Zhen raised her brows and barked in a deep voice. “You’re very brazen!”

Jiang Xiao ransacked the military backpack and exclaimed, “You’ve got great judgment!”

Yu Zhen was speechless.

“Hahahahaha… *cough* *cough*…” Zhang Hui had a sullen expression. He was initially already in low spirits. However, he was amused by Jiang Xiao’s words while panting heavily. As a result, he began coughing embarrassedly.

He felt that it was a huge relief!

Yu Zhen was an arrogant person who felt self-righteous when robbing others. Of course, she wouldn’t allow others to do the same to her.

Ever since her military backpack was stolen by Zhang Hui, she had been feeling furious.

Jiang Xiao’s intervention made her feel even more exasperated.

Although Yu Zhen was anxious, she was not a fool. Since the negotiation was unsuccessful, she decided to retreat quickly because she knew that she was at a disadvantage.

Ever since she was a child, she had been spoiled rotten and she had always been the one to undermine others. Since when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

She thought to herself that she would definitely regain her pride in the future.

However, she did not know Jiang Xiao well enough.

The innocent Yu Zhen thought that she could still leave…

Regardless of which perspective, Jiang Xiao was a loyal fan of making things worse for the enemy…

It was a competition, anyway. Any other team would be a hindrance to his success!

Now that Yu Zhen chased after Zhang Hui by herself, it was clearly a godsend opportunity!

“Go, Xia Yan, keep her here!” Jiang Xiao immediately exclaimed as he cast a Blessing on Yu Zhen without hesitation.

“Ah~” Yu Zhen, who was initially quivering in anger, began shivering even more violently as she stood rooted to the ground in shock while being shrouded in Jiang Xiao’s Blessing.

What everyone did not expect was that Zhang Hui attacked faster than Xia Yan did. He immediately cast a fiery red Flame Arc at everyone!

Zhang Hui was a realistic person who knew to seize opportunities. Under Jiang Xiao’s outrageously overpowering “control-series” Star Technique, Blessing, Yu Zhen had become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

How could Zhang Hui miss such an opportunity? She chased him all the way here and almost killed him!

Zhang Hui waited for three days to grasp the opportunity to steal Jiangbin High School No. 3’s backpack during the confrontation between Xindan Creek High School No. 11 and Jiangbin High School No. 3. He managed to take away all the Ape Ghoul Star Beads and the numerous yellow weapons that the team from Jiangbin High School No. 3 had robbed from others.

However, Zhang Hui was still a small step away from success. Hence, he had no choice but to do his best and resign to fate.

In the face of Yu Zhen’s chase, he had already begun to comfort himself. After all, he had tried his best. He even thought of the outcome he might face. Once she chased him, the outcome would be obvious.

However, Zhang Hui never imagined that he would end up seeing a silver lining of the cloud after swallowing his pride to bear with the humiliation and shoulder the burden. He finally saw Jiang Xiao’s Blessing!

At the next moment, Zhang Hui’s thin figure rushed out together with the Flame Arc.

He was holding onto a shiny and sharp dagger!

Bang!

The small Flame Arc was blasted on Yu Zhen’s body with great accuracy and blew her thin figure away. Her clothes were tattered and she began bleeding profusely.

Flame Arc was not fatal, but the real danger was the figure that caught up with Zhang Hui from behind!

Horror filled everyone’s gazes and they thought, Is this kid going to kill her!?!
