Under Sun Ya and the other two's shocked gazes, Duan Lian's nose started bleeding. His built body that weighed one hundred and fifty kilograms fell to the ground like a tower that had been hit by an earthquake.
The monster coins above his head naturally spilled out.
Meng Chao took a big stride forward and stretched his arms. The lightning speed of his hands, which had been honed by the Basic Harvesting Skill and the Seven Dissection Methods Performed in Reverse, made his fingers turn into two vortexes, and nearly one hundred monster coins were sucked into his palms.
He had used dozens of monster coins as hidden weapons, but he managed to snatch nearly one hundred monster coins from Duan Lian. His total went over twenty-five thousand, and he was ranked first in the martial arts course!
Duan Lian was in a bad situation. He only had dozens of monster coins on top of his head, and he only had dozens of coins in his hands. In total, he had around one hundred coins.
If it were an ordinary student, it might be worth popping champagne to celebrate, but for the proud Four Heavenly Kings, it was a nightmare!
Duan Lian was tough, and his defense was comparable to that of a superbeast. Naturally, he would not be defeated by Meng Chao with just one move.
An ominous glint appeared in his eyes as he leaped up.
But at this moment, the countdown reached zero, signifying the end of the freshman test.
Meng Chao moved eight meters back and raised his hands high. "It's over. If you continue, you'll be breaking the rules."
Duan Lian was dejected.
Sun Ya, Jiang Rui, and Xie Feng were dumbfounded.
Everything happened in five seconds. In the blink of an eye, the outcome had been decided.
Even Sun Ya, who was quick-witted, was confused.
They were shocked by Meng Chao's fighting strength as a broken-star superhuman. He was fine when he did not attack, but when he did, he used a fierce killing move. Even the bystanders broke out in cold sweat.
He was also puzzled as to why he took the initiative to snatch Duan Lian's monster coins. By the looks of it, he did not seem like a short-sighted person. He clearly had twenty thousand monster coins, and it was enough for him to enjoy the most luxurious treatment since the start of the semester. Was there a need for him to take such a risk and form a grudge with a classmate?
"… Despicable!"
Duan Lian stared at Meng Chao with a dazed and frustrated look on his face. He growled. "We agreed to split the monster coins equally and that no one was allowed to play any tricks, but this is how you treat your allies?!"
Sun Ya and Jiang Rui frowned slightly.
Indeed, Meng Chao did not do anything when the five of them formed an alliance. He was not satisfied with the two hundred monster coins he received. He went back on his word and destroyed his classmates' hopes. It was a little too much.
Xie Feng wanted to say something, but he hesitated. 'With Meng Chao's performance during the practical test, there's no reason for him to be so greedy.'
Meng Chao smiled and asked calmly, "Why did you mention Jiang Rui's name just now?"
As soon as he said that, the other three were slightly startled.
Sun Ya's beautiful eyes turned, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
"Yeah." Jiang Rui was puzzled. "Duan Lian, why did you call me?"
Duan Lian stuttered and could not say anything.
"He's shouting for me to hear." "His original words were 'Jiang Rui, you —' and he looked shocked. He was trying to warn me and make me think that you were going to attack me so that I could divert my attention."
"What?" Jiang Rui jumped up. "I didn't attack you!"
"I know that if you harbored ill intentions, you would have long since prepared to attack me. You wouldn't have kept targeting me just now." Meng Chao said faintly, "It's precisely because you kept showing hostility that I'm certain that you're the one who is the least likely to break the alliance.
"On the other hand, the one who wants to use you to divert my attention is the one who wants to break the alliance and snatch the monster coins from me.
"You snatch from me, and I snatch from you. That'll depend on who's faster. The one who strikes first has the upper hand. It's very fair, right?"
Sun Ya, Jiang Rui, and Xie Feng looked at each other.
They saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Then, they looked at Duan Lian with a piercing gaze.
It was as if they were saying, "I didn't expect that you, who looks like a boorish, honest, and honest person, would be the one who betrayed the alliance!"
Duan Lian's face turned red, and he defended himself forcefully. "Meng Chao, even if I'm being paranoid and misunderstood Jiang Rui's intentions, I'm reminding you out of goodwill. I just said three words and didn't do anything, and you attacked me. That's too much. What if your judgment is wrong? You'll end up hurting a good person by accident."
"My judgment won't be wrong," Meng Chao explained.
"I used the rules of the game and pestered you to work together. I didn't even move a finger, but I got the same amount of monster coins as you. You must be angry.
"At that moment, even if any of you noticed that Jiang Rui wanted to attack me, what would a normal person's reaction be? Of course they would stay still and wait for the show to start. In fact, they might even have the chance to fish in troubled waters!
"We've never met before, and this is an important part of choosing our lecturers. Who would be a busybody?
"Besides, just now, Xie Feng and I worked together to beat up all of your monster coins. You must be holding a grudge against us.
"Even in this sort of situation, you still gave me a reminder out of goodwill. Duan Lian, think about it. Is it reasonable?"
Duan Lian found himself speechless. He thought about it for a long time, but he still could not think of anything to defend himself.
"Don't even think about it. I saw through your plan a long time ago. Among the four of you, you're the one I'm the most wary of, because your expression is too honest."
Meng Chao smiled. "Many people often have a misconception that if you're well-built, you're definitely simple-minded. If you're built like a tiger, you're definitely simple-minded. You're two meters tall and weigh one hundred and fifty kilograms, so you're definitely an idiot.
"But if you think about it carefully, you should know that you're among the top five in your national college examination. Your written test results are definitely not bad, so there's no way you're a simple-minded martial artist.
"So, the more honest you are, the more problematic you are, and the more wary I am!
"Yeah, you don't have proof, so you can deny it all you want. Zhu Bajie can just accuse me of stealing, but I believe that Sun Ya, Jiang Rui, and Xie Feng will naturally be able to make their own judgments."
Duan Lian's face was stark pale. He sat down on the ground and could not catch his breath even after a long time had passed.
Sun Ya looked at the wound on his face, then at Meng Chao's right arm. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Meng Chao would fuse his saber technique into his fist technique. His attacks are so sharp. Looks like I'll have to take back what I said just now. You're not just good at using your brain. Even if we fight with weapons, it'll be very difficult for us to fight against you."
Jiang Rui shook his head. "Duan Lian, why did you have to do this?!"
Duan Lian waved his hand powerlessly. His face was full of anguish.
In truth, he rarely resorted to schemes and schemes.
If it were just Sun Ya, Jiang Rui, and Xie Feng, they might have actually carried out the alliance until the end.
But he was the same as Jiang Rui. He could not accept that Meng Chao, a broken-star superhuman from Ninth High School, could join the alliance without even attacking once and enjoy the same treatment as the prodigies from the super high schools.
He had wanted to let the boy know just how powerful the Four Great Kings were, but he did not expect that he would end up reaping what he sowed.
Duan Lian punched the ground. It was too late for regrets.
What was done could not be undone. The lecturers went down the stage, and the freshmen stopped attacking.
There were chips embedded in the monster coins. Through wireless positioning and scanning, the lecturers could instantly count the number of coins each freshmen had.
The ranking board showed up on the big screen by the field.
The name at the top stunned the hundreds of freshmen for a long time.
Then, they burst into an uproar.
"Meng Chao? It's him! "
"How is that possible?"
"Even if he worked together with Sun Ya and the others, there's no reason for the four monsters to let him get first place. Isn't he a broken-star superhuman?"
"Also, where did Duan Lian go? Why did he only get one hundred and twenty-two monster coins? What's wrong with him?"
Most of the freshmen did not see what happened at the center of the field. Even if they thought about it blindly, they could not understand it.
The lecturers looked down from above, so they saw everything clearly. Their evaluation of Meng Chao increased by quite a lot.
"The admission test has ended. I believe that all of you know your ranking and the learning atmosphere in university, right?"
Jiang Ming said loudly. "The victors don't need to be arrogant, and the losers don't need to be frustrated. The path of a superhuman is not a one-hundred-meter sprint. Being ahead for a moment or falling behind doesn't mean anything. As long as you train hard, you will have plenty of chances.
"In the future, we will often hold similar competitions. Aside from the competition between courses, students can also use monster coins as stakes to challenge others freely after the first month of 'protection period'. As long as you're strong enough, you can stand out at any moment and create miracles.
"So, clench your teeth and practice to your death!"
As Jiang Ming spoke, he walked down the rostrum with Li Yingzi and the other ace lecturers to head to Meng Chao and the others at the center of the field.
According to the rules of the admission test, the outstanding ones could choose their lecturers, courses, dorms, and missions first.
This was the right of the strong, and it was also the motivation for the other freshmen to train madly.
"Meng Chao, you're the top freshman this year. You have a total of 25100 monster coins, and you have the right to choose any lecturer in the martial arts course to be your personal tutor."
Li Yingzi did not hide the admiration in her eyes. She took a few brisk steps forward and overtook Jiang Ming. Her appreciation for talent was clear in her words.
The freshmen talked among themselves.
Everyone was really envious of Meng Chao's treatment.
He had more than twenty-five thousand monster coins. It was enough for him to choose Griffin Li Yingzi as his personal tutor, and he could enjoy the most luxurious dorm and five-star meal.
This treatment would also stimulate him to become stronger and earn more monster coins. It would form a virtuous cycle, and in the end, he would be able to improve by leaps and bounds.
"He has so many monster coins! That boy's really lucky!"
"He managed to get more monster coins than the Four Great Kings while they're watching him. That's not something that can be done with luck alone."
"That's right. How did he do it? Isn't he a broken-star superhuman who has only cleared a few main meridians? Why is he stronger than Sun Ya and the others, who have cleared more than seventy main meridians?"
"He's a ruthless person who killed a Bloody Moon Wolf King during his national college examination. No matter how fierce Sun Ya and the others are, could they be fiercer than the Bloody Moon Wolf King? Didn't you see how badly Duan Lian was beaten up by him?! "
"Hmph, broken-star superhumans only have some fighting strength in the beginning. Right now, everyone has just awakened. Even a monster like Sun Ya, who has cleared seventy-seven main meridians, hasn't learned how to create many spirit energy magnetic fields. The number of skills she has is about the same as Meng Chao's, which is why he was able to show off for a while. Once he continues training, Sun Ya will learn dozens of skills, while Meng Chao will only use one or two skills.
"That's right. Broken-star superhumans cultivate slowly, and their strategies are rigid. They don't have enough stamina, and their upper limits aren't high. Forget about Sun Ya, once I train madly during the 'new student protection period' and learn eight skills, I might be able to win against him. At that time, I'll be the first one to challenge him!"
The students discussed excitedly, and all of them became restless.
It was as if they could already see Meng Chao, who had been stuck at a standstill for a month, being defeated by them, who had improved by leaps and bounds. All his monster coins would be snatched by them.
