The lecturers on the rostrum also saw the top five students who were ranked among the top students of the national college examination working together.
In the competitions in the past, it was common for powerful people to work together, but the results were usually not good. They did not have a foundation of trust, and they were also the strongest competitors. The slightest disturbance could cause an alliance to crumble.
"That boy called Meng Chao is pretty interesting. I think he was the one who acted as the middleman just now, which is why Sun Ya and the other three outstanding students worked together," Jiang Ming said with a smile. "Unfortunately, he's a broken-star superhuman, or else I would have taken him in."
"A broken-star superhuman is nothing," Li Yingzi said. "Realms are important, but it's not the only standard to determine a person's strength. If he can get nineteen thousand monster coins, I don't mind being his personal tutor."
Li Yingzi was a five-star superhuman among the two ace lecturers of the martial arts course, but she was in her early thirties, and she had already risen to fame with her beast soul fusion technique. She was showing signs of surpassing Jiang Ming.
Her statement that realms were not important was rather thought-provoking.
Jiang Ming coughed dryly. "It's easy for powerful people to form teams, but it's very difficult for them to last until the end. Most of the outstanding students during the admission test turn against each other in the end. Huh? What's he doing?"
The lecturers looked down and noticed that Meng Chao was in a rather strange posture.
He was accumulating power with Dragon Snake Force.
Among the three basic force execution methods, Dragon Snake Force placed the most emphasis on accumulating power.
And the future Dragon Snake Force that Meng Chao had mastered was 20% higher than the current popular version when it came to accumulating power.
Besides, he had cleared four main meridians in his right arm. His spirit energy surged madly, and his right arm swelled up at a visible speed. With the increase in power from the biochemical fighting suit, he was practically as strong as Principal Sun's heavy cannon.
The problem was, there were no enemies around him. Who was he going to hit by accumulating power in such an exaggerated manner?
The lecturers soon learned the answer.
Boom!
A deafening explosion rose, and the entire field swayed.
Meng Chao's right arm struck the ground like a spiral drill and created a hole in the ground.
He extended his hand to test it, and when he found that the depth was just right, he dug out the stones and soil inside. Then, he did the same thing and created a second hole next to him.
Just like that, in half a minute, he created five holes the size of his forearm without stopping.
Then, he split the monster coins Sun Ya and the others gave him into five equal portions and placed them in the holes.
Once he was done, he grinned and patted off the dust on his hands before he looked around with a relaxed expression.
The students were dumbfounded.
The sports field was very big, and many students were fighting like headless flies. When they were exhausted and stopped to catch their breath, they found that the Four Heavenly Kings had joined hands. They wanted to stop them, but it was too late.
Meng Chao had been hiding his true strength. The students did not see the shining monster coins on his helmet, so they did not pay any attention to him.
At that moment, they noticed that Sun Ya and the other three had already sent all the monster coins they stole into the hole under Meng Chao's feet, but it was already too late.
There were still seven minutes left.
Most of the students were exhausted.
Based on their strength and the number of monster coins they had, they were roughly divided into three categories.
The first type was slightly weaker than the Four Great Kings, but they had cleared around fifty main meridians and snatched more than one hundred monster coins, but they had nowhere to put them. They could only put them on their heads, and they became a burden. Then, they ran into the ceiling.
The people who posed the greatest threat naturally coveted the monster coins Meng Chao had hidden away.
But it was already very difficult for them to protect themselves, and there were plenty of students glaring at them. There was no way they could challenge Sun Ya and the other three's defense line.
The second type had a certain level of strength, but they lacked luck. When Sun Ya and the other three robbed them, they only had dozens of monster coins on their heads.
These people were the most active fighters in the field.
But when they chose their targets, they hesitated.
The main reason was that Meng Chao's method of storing monster coins was too shameless. He dug a few holes on the ground and buried the monster coins in them.
Even if they attacked as a group and broke through Sun Ya and the other three's defense line, when they arrived in front of Meng Chao, they still had to bend down and stretch an arm into the hole to grab the monster coins.
The diameter of the hole was about the size of a fist. If they wanted to take out all the monster coins, they would have to fumble around.
In less than five seconds, the explorers would be pinned to the ground, and they would be sitting ducks.
If they did not handle it well, they might end up working for someone else. No one would be willing to stand out.
'This guy is too cunning, despicable, and shameless!'
When the students saw Meng Chao's smile, they cursed him in their hearts.
After weighing the pros and cons, instead of provoking this shameless person, it would be better for them to try their luck with the people who had accumulated around one hundred monster coins!
As for the third type of new students, they had not become superhumans yet, so they had long since become dizzy from the attacks. They lay at the periphery and gasped for breath. Even if they wanted to charge forward, they did not have the organization and willpower to do so.
Hence, when there were only three minutes left in the entrance test, Meng Chao and the other four managed to get a total of one hundred thousand monster coins. Each of them had twenty thousand.
"That's enough! Everyone, come back and protect these one hundred thousand monster coins!"
Meng Chao shouted at the top of his lungs. "Each of you can get twenty thousand. You can look for any ace lecturer you want, but if you continue fighting for them, the other students will fight us to the death!"
When Sun Ya and the others heard this, they were stunned and quickly retracted their defense line.
Jiang Rui was a little reluctant, but when the other three returned to Meng Chao's side, he could not do anything alone, so he could only obey.
But when the other students heard his words and learned that they had one hundred thousand monster coins, their eyes turned bloodshot.
"There are more than one million monster coins in the entire area. If we take one hundred thousand, there will still be one million left. It's enough for you to split among yourselves," Meng Chao continued speaking loudly.
"Of course, if you think that our one hundred thousand monster coins are more appealing and want to try it, I'll welcome you with open arms!"
When the students saw Sun Ya and the others guarding the five holes, they remembered how Meng Chao's right arm had swelled up to the size of a cannon, and they hesitated.
"That's right." They were reminded by Meng Chao, and they made a mental calculation. 'With Sun Ya and her party's strength, it's only natural for them to get fifty to sixty thousand monster coins. It's the same as saying that we've only lost a few tens of thousands of monster coins. There's no need for us to lose something big because of something small.'
Since they could not defeat Sun Ya, her party, and Meng Chao, the students could only brace themselves and cause trouble for each other.
It was not that no one wanted to copy Meng Chao's method and form a team with others to dig holes in the ground to store their monster coins.
But they were pressed for time, and in a hurry, they could not solve the problem of trust and distribution.
Instead, some people used the pretense of working together to launch an ambush, and it instantly stirred up shouts and chaos.
Sun Ya and her party used the chance to catch their breath and recover their strength.
"Now, you don't have to worry, right?"
Meng Chao smiled. "As long as the students aren't idiots, no one will charge head-on into our formation. We'll just wait for them to tire themselves out and wait comfortably for the final ten seconds. Then, we'll stretch our hands into our holes. At that time, our hands and cups will be filled, and we'll only have three to five seconds left.
Sun Ya thought about it and said with a smile, "Even though it's not safe, it's indeed the most logical plan. I agree."
"I agree as well." Duan Lian put on an impressed expression. "Meng Chao, you're really something."
Xie Feng smiled wanly. What else could he say?
Jiang Rui still felt indignant. "So we're fighting to the death, and you're just digging five holes in the ground? Isn't it too easy for you to earn twenty thousand monster coins?"
"Makes sense."
Meng Chao nodded. "Alright, then I'll allow you to take your share first. Please."
He made a gesture in a gentlemanly manner.
Sun Ya and the other two stared at Jiang Rui with intense gazes.
There was no way Jiang Rui would stretch his arm into the holes in front of the three hungry wolves. He was basically handing himself over to them!
He let out a long sigh at the sky. With a constipated expression, he sat down obediently.
Just as Meng Chao expected, in the next three minutes, even though the students fought incredibly fiercely, no one came to their iron wall.
During the last half a minute, aside from the five of them, everyone else fell to the ground in exhaustion. They were so tired that their muscles cramped up and they grimaced in pain.
Sun Ya and the other four heaved a long sigh of relief.
Jiang Rui was impatient. "Can we take out the monster coins now?"
"Don't be in a hurry," Meng Chao said. "There's still half a minute left. If we take them out now, it's hard to guarantee that one of you won't be tempted. It's best if we wait until the last ten seconds."
Jiang Rui really wanted to say, 'Who the hell are you? Why do we have to listen to you since the start?'
But the other three did not move, so he could only grit his teeth and bear with it.
Finally, the last ten seconds of the countdown arrived.
The five of them looked at each other and stretched their arms into the holes at the same time.
Naturally, they could not grab all two hundred monster coins in one go. They had to grab them three times before they could fill up the cups on their helmets and their hands.
The first time, the second time, there were no accidents.
There were only five seconds left in the countdown.
The group sighed in relief. They thought that the damn "game" had finally ended without any danger, and they would be able to choose the tutor they liked.
Suddenly, something happened.
"Jiang Rui, you —" Duan Lian cried out in surprise.
Before his voice faded away … No, in truth, right after Duan Lian said the word "Jiang", Meng Chao attacked at lightning speed.
Slap!
He held more than twenty monster coins in his left hand. He had been waiting for a long time, and he shot them out like a bullet.
He did not shoot them at Jiang Rui, who had been displeased with him all this while.
Instead, he shot them at Duan Lian, who had warned him!
Duan Lian was caught off guard. He instinctively closed his eyes and dodged.
But there were more than one hundred monster coins on his head, so he could not help but be a little slower when he dodged.
He was just in time to be hit in the eyes by the monster coins.
Even if Duan Lian had trained his body to the point that it was as tough as steel, his eyes were still not that much stronger than a normal person's. He was immediately hit to the point that he started tearing up.
Once Meng Chao had the upper hand, he did not show mercy. When he stretched his right arm into the hole, he was just trying to grab empty air. He did not intend to grab the monster coins at all. Instead, he used the hole as a cover to prepare for Demon Subduing Slash.
He pulled his arm out of the hole, and the surging spirit energy magnetic field between his four main meridians was already formed. He drew his sharp blade and swung it down like a saber, a whip, or a pillar that could support the heavens. It went straight for Duan Lian's face!
