Hey, hey, hey! "
The acne boy was stunned. "Wait, I haven't —"
Before his voice could fade away, there was a loud slap. The sharp edge of Meng Chao's palm drew a flawless arc and sank deep into the boy's face. He nearly broke the bridge of his nose and sent the boy sprawling on the ground. Blood gushed out of his nose, and his pained screams turned into whimpers.
Meng Chao crouched down and carefully put away the twenty-two monster coins that spilled out of the boy's helmet. Then, he looked around.
Quite a number of students saw this, but no one dared to snatch his monster coins.
Instead, they covered their mouths and snickered. "Did you see that idiot? Of all people, he chose to provoke Meng Chao. Everyone knows that Meng Chao is a broken-star superhuman. Even though he doesn't improve quickly, his fighting strength is still very strong!"
Meng Chao thought about it and decided to give the acne boy a few pointers. He could just treat the twenty monster coins as his tuition fee. "Hey, the greatest advantage superhumans have over normal people is that they can create spirit energy magnetic fields, but that doesn't mean that they have to use powerful attacks whenever they want." It's especially so when you've just become a superhuman. Your main meridians are thin, and it's not very smooth. Your muscles and nerves aren't used to working together, and your control over your spirit energy is very unstable. If you create a spirit energy magnetic field now, you'll need a few seconds. Do you think that your opponent is an idiot and will wait for you to accumulate power and attack? "
No notification popped up in his field of vision. He did not know whether the acne boy had heard his words or not.
Meng Chao placed the twenty monster coins on his helmet and walked to the center of the field. Gradually, an idea that was worth trying rose in his head.
He first went to Xie Feng.
The Four Great Kings, who looked like gibbon, were fighting against five students.
Naturally, they were not his opponents. Every single time he knocked them to the ground, he snatched dozens of monster coins from them.
But when the number of monster coins above Xie Feng's head increased to one hundred and twenty, they overflowed from his cup.
As long as the students charged forward fearlessly, they would not need to use any flashy moves to snatch dozens of monster coins from him.
And when the number of monster coins above Xie Feng's head decreased to less than one hundred, the space for him to move around increased by leaps and bounds. His fighting strength increased by leaps and bounds, and he snatched the monster coins back.
Both sides fought back and forth. They were so tired that they panted, but no victor could be decided.
Meng Chao watched it for a long time before he could not help but laugh.
When Xie Feng saw him, he was delighted. "Meng Chao, help me kill these people, and we'll split their monster coins."
"Sure!" Meng Chao nodded readily and joined the fight.
The people surrounding him also knew Meng Chao. They could not help but feel their hearts freeze, and they were on full alert.
But against their expectations, when Meng Chao faced them, he executed a Scorpion Swings Its Tail and kicked Xie Feng's chest from an unbelievable angle.
Bang!
A loud bang came from Xie Feng's chest. Even though the biochemical fighting suit formed a shell to protect him, he was still forced to take three huge steps back. His neck tilted back, and dozens of monster coins fell to the ground.
He was shocked and angry, shouting, "Meng Chao, what are you doing!"
"There's no point in fighting these little guys."
Meng Chao smiled. "You have more than one hundred monster coins on your head. If I don't hit you, who else would I hit?"
Before he could finish his words, he dashed forward and punched out.
Xie Feng had cleared sixty main meridians, and his spirit energy filled his arms. They were as tough as steel, so he was naturally not afraid of Meng Chao's punches.
But when their punches clashed, more monster coins fell from his head, but he did not have time to pick them up. Instead, the patrolling hyenas around him took advantage of them.
Xie Feng did not know whether he should laugh or cry. "Sun Ya and the others also have more than one hundred monster coins. Why don't you go and look for them?"
"Because … I'm familiar with you!" Meng Chao smiled brilliantly.
Xie Feng felt so gloomy that he wanted to cough up blood. After they exchanged blows twice, he realized that Meng Chao was serious. He stopped hesitating, crossed his arms, and twisted his fingers to focus on creating a spirit energy magnetic field so that he could release a major move.
Then, he was sent flying by Meng Chao in an unreasonable manner.
"Why do you like to release major moves so much? Don't you know that creating a spirit energy magnetic field requires a long time to accumulate power, stiffen up, and cool down?"
The Beast Soul Style was a variant of the Overkill Style. It paid particular attention to creating complicated, large spirit energy magnetic fields.
The more new a person was, the more they wanted to release major moves, and the longer they needed to accumulate power.
Right now, the mainstream solution was to use monster blood to refine their bodies and use secret mind techniques to refine their minds. When they fought, they released a momentum that filled the air and a killing intent that went straight to their souls to intimidate their opponents so that they could buy valuable time to accumulate power.
There were also people who liked to shout when they attacked, such as the name of a move like "shockwave".
It might sound like a chuunibyou, but in truth, the sound waves contained powerful mental power, and it was enough to create a mental impact on the target. The target would be dumbfounded and obediently get hit.
There were also people who had the habit of using spirit energy meridians to create spirit energy magnetic fields to release unnecessary sound and visual effects. It was also to confuse the target and buy time.
For the time being, monsters did not have high intelligence, so these flashy diversionary tactics were pretty effective.
New superhumans who did not have enough fighting experience were easily suppressed by the aura of elites, intimidated by their shouts, and confused by the sound and visual effects. They fell for their tricks while they were still muddle-headed, and they even thought that the enemy's major moves were incredibly dazzling.
But Meng Chao thought …
'Flaws! Flaws! They're all flaws!'
His gaze was as sharp as lightning, and he moved like a phantom. With just the power of his flesh and blood, he interrupted Xie Feng's process of accumulating power while he created the spirit energy magnetic fields.
To Xie Feng, it was as if he was wrapped around by a piece of sticky candy that he could not break, could not shake off, and was getting tighter with each passing moment. His qi and blood surged, and his spirit energy became chaotic. He felt terrible.
If he was the slightest bit careless, Meng Chao grabbed him by the waist. They rolled around on the ground, and all their monster coins spilled out.
"My monster coins!"
Xie Feng's heart ached for them. He extended his hand to pick them up, but Meng Chao kicked him away.
Then, Meng Chao raised his leg and kicked all the monster coins away. They scattered all over the place like flowers scattered by a goddess, and the students started fighting over them.
"Meng Chao, you're mad!"
Xie Feng shouted, but he felt like he was about to go mad. "Your monster coins are in there too! What did I do to provoke you? Why are you going to fight me to the death?!"
"Xie Feng, you're too childish."
Meng Chao's face was expressionless. Not a single spirit energy fluctuation could be detected around him, but he exuded the presence of a fierce beast who had survived hundreds of battles. He said coldly, "In a real battlefield, aside from victory and life and death, everything else is just an external object.
"It's just one hundred monster coins, and you're already worried about your own gains and losses. You have full fighting strength, but you can only bring out around twenty to thirty percent of it. If this was a real battlefield, you'd already be dead!"
Xie Feng's heart trembled, and he sank into deep thought.
"In a fight to the death, for the sake of victory, you can even give up your limbs without hesitation, much less those monster coins," Meng Chao said faintly.
"I believe that the goal of the lecturers arranging this game is to see whether there are any freshmen who understand the concept of giving up or not. They want to know what is truly important in a fight. Unfortunately, even you so-called Four Great Kings are short-sighted and shameless. I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed." Meng Chao said faintly.
Xie Feng opened his mouth, but he did not know how to retort.
"You've cleared sixty main meridians. On paper, your fighting strength is stronger than mine, but if you continue fighting in that state just now, believe it or not, I'll definitely be the one standing five minutes later, and you'll definitely be the one lying down. At that time, I'll easily take away all your monster coins. What's the point of you being so worried and hesitant?" Meng Chao was aggressive.
Xie Feng broke out in cold sweat.
A notification popped up at the corner of Meng Chao's eyes.
[Normal citizen Xie Feng received your guidance, and his fighting experience increased by a large margin. Increased contribution points by 75.]
'You're a promising student.'
Meng Chao smiled in his heart. He drew closer and whispered, "It's just around one hundred monster coins. Let them fight for them. Even if some lucky person manages to get them, he'll be as hesitant as you were just now. You should know that maintaining the absolute stability of your neck and head while fighting intensely will drain your stamina very quickly.
"Right now, only five minutes have passed in the game. You'll have plenty of chances to turn the tables later. The key is to preserve your stamina. During the final five minutes, when everyone is injured and exhausted, it'll be time for you to harvest them."
Xie Feng cast a glance at the students.
Just as he expected, the students who had been working together to attack him just now had already started fighting against each other.
He watched as the students used up their stamina and defense to fight for a few monster coins. Even if they were lucky enough to get dozens of monster coins, their necks and spines would be incredibly stiff, and they would look really comical.
Xie Feng could not help but break out in cold sweat. If Meng Chao had not reminded him, he would have been like these people and would not have been able to free himself from their stupor.
"Meng Chao, what do you mean?" Xie Feng asked tentatively. "You want to work together with me?"
"It's not that I want to work together with you." Meng Chao shook his head. "You want to work together with me."
Xie Feng was stunned.
"If you have tolerance, you'll be strong, and if you don't have any desires, you'll be strong. In any case, my main meridians are damaged, and my cultivation speed is slow. My upper limit isn't high, so it's fine even if I don't find an ace lecturer. You, on the other hand, need twenty thousand monster coins.
Meng Chao smiled faintly. "You need me more than I need you. You should be the one begging me, right?"
Xie Feng's face turned red. "Just now, I was sincerely asking you to work together with me."
"No, just now, you said that you wanted to defeat these students and split their monster coins equally," Meng Chao said calmly.
"You're not even willing to split the one hundred or so monster coins on top of your head equally. You just want to get something without risking anything. You call that being sincere?
"Besides, the foundation of working together is mutual benefits and similar strength. We haven't tested each other's strength. If we accumulate a lot of monster coins, it'll be inevitable that we'll have other thoughts. It's better for us to understand each other's strength and bottom line while we still have time.
"Now, you should know very well that even if I can't help you get two hundred monster coins, I can definitely make sure that you won't get a single monster coin and can only enjoy the free meal, right?"
Xie Feng's face turned ashen. "Yes!"
"So, this means that you're willing to work together with me and listen to my commands so that you can split all the monster coins we get?" Meng Chao bared his sharp teeth.
Xie Feng refused to accept it. "I don't have a problem with splitting it equally, but why should I listen to your commands?"
"Because I'm a broken-star superhuman. I'm not afraid of eating the free meal!"
Meng Chao said. "If you don't agree to it, I'll just keep pestering you like a ghost and die with you. It's my fault for being close to you."
Xie Feng nearly coughed up blood. He threw his head back and roared. "Just who did I offend?! I can't live like this anymore!"
"Don't be like this," Meng Chao comforted him. "It's just like the practical test for the national college examination. Listen to my commands, and I won't let you suffer any losses. Now, let's go look for Sun Ya, Duan Lian, and Jiang Rui!"
Xie Feng was a little stunned. "Why are we looking for them?"
"Of course we're going to pull them into our criminal organization. No, we're going to form a righteous alliance," Meng Chao said matter-of-factly.
Xie Feng stared into his eyes. He could not tell whether Meng Chao was joking or serious.
Then, he remembered how he had stabbed the Bloody Moon Wolf King's eye socket with his arm in the wild. It was an incredibly bloody and barbaric sight.
He could not help but shudder.
"We …" he said subconsciously, "Who should we start with first?"
"Duan Lian," Meng Chao said. "He's a strength-type, so his movement speed isn't fast. The two of us can control him. Once we pull him into our group, the three of us can work together to capture Sun Ya, who's an agility type, and Jiang Rui, who is a speed type."
