Chapter 52 - 52 52 Battle of the Arrogant Targeting Number 1

52: Chapter 52: Battle of the Arrogant, Targeting Number 1 52: Chapter 52: Battle of the Arrogant, Targeting Number 1 Jiang Lan’s pure, delicate face was full of surprise.

She didn’t expect to see Xu Zhou here.

“Isn’t he just a high school freshman?” Jiang Lan glanced at Xu Zhou and thought to herself, “Did he come here to seek death?”

“Miss Jiang, is he an acquaintance of yours?” Beside her, one of the direct lineage members of an Inner City Family noticed her staring at Xu Zhou and couldn’t help but ask.

Jiang Lan, as the first daughter of the Jiangzhou’s largest family, the Jiang family.

Other Inner City Family members subtly centered around her, with a hint of respect in their eyes.

Of course, many also coveted Jiang Lan’s beauty, but they only dared to steal a few glances secretly, not daring to show their intentions openly.

Jiang Lan, not only the direct daughter of the Jiang family, is also an S-class member of the Jiang family.

Her talent and strength are extremely formidable!

Few dare to provoke her.

At this moment, Jiang Lan heard the others’ words and smiled slightly, “It’s nothing, just an insignificant person.”

The person beside her glanced at Xu Zhou and then shook his head, “Indeed, someone not from our Inner City couldn’t possibly catch Miss Jiang’s attention.”

Jiang Lan smiled and didn’t say much more, but her beautiful eyes once again glanced at Xu Zhou.

“When we reach the Thousand Demon Cave, it’s best not to encounter me,” she thought to herself.

Otherwise, she would definitely give Xu Zhou a good punishment.

Because of Xu Zhou, she got reprimanded by her grandfather, something that still troubled her.

On the other side, Xu Zhou noticed Jiang Lan’s gaze filled with battle intent and was a bit astonished.

“I don’t think I provoked her?” Xu Zhou pondered for a moment.

No, he hadn’t.

All he did was decline to join the Jiang family, and could that really be enough for her to want a fight?

That’s too domineering!

Xu Zhou slightly shook his head and stopped paying attention to Jiang Lan, turning to look in another direction.

Soon after, he paused again.

Huang Yunxuan and Liu He had also arrived, and they too noticed Xu Zhou.

Liu He looked at Li Ruoxi, seemingly because Li Ruoxi was wearing her combat armor today, showing off her fiery figure.

Liu He couldn’t help but lick his lips while looking at her.

“Look again, and I’ll cripple your lower body and make you a eunuch,” Li Ruoxi said coldly.

Liu He smiled silently, but his smile had a chilling implication.

Huang Yunxuan, on the other hand, looked at Xu Zhou and made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand.

Xu Zhou remained calm, not paying attention.

In his eyes, these two were already as good as dead; there was no need to be annoyed with those doomed to die.

At this time, more and more students were filling the hall.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, a powerful Qi-Blood fluctuation surged in from outside.

Soon, another group of students entered through the main entrance.

However, these students were not high schoolers but university students.

Their Qi-Blood fluctuations clearly had reached the strength of a First Rank Martial Artist.

Some even had fearsome auras, possibly already Second Grade Martial Artists.

“Second Grade Martial Artist?” Xu Zhou was slightly shocked.

Have even Second Grade Martial Artists come to the Thousand Demon Cave?

“Ignore them,” Li Ruoxi said coolly, “These university students will be teleported to the inner area of the Thousand Demon Cave, whereas we only go to the outer zone.”

Xu Zhou nodded.

The inner and outer areas of the Thousand Demon Cave have vastly different danger levels.

Once entering the inner area, even a First Rank Martial Artist could face death.

So the inner area is generally cleared by university martial students and some societal martial artists.

While the outer zone is left for high school students like them.

At this moment, Xu Zhou’s ears twitched as he heard some societal martial artists nearby whispering.

“University martial students?

They’ve already gone to university, yet they’re coming to the Thousand Demon Cave for training.

Isn’t it embarrassing?”

“Really, competing for a living with us.”

“Haha, they’re just cowards.

They don’t dare go to more dangerous places, so they can only come to the restricted zone.”

“…”

The volume of these discussions was very low; other people could basically not hear them.

But Xu Zhou’s senses were unusually sharp, and hearing this left him a bit puzzled.

“For university martial students, only cowards would come to the Thousand Demon Cave?”

In Xu Zhou’s view, the Thousand Demon Cave was dangerous enough.

Even those ranked in the top ten of the Dragon and Tiger Rankings could perish here; a place this dangerous was being described as one for cowards.

Then where did the brave ones go?

As Xu Zhou pondered, a middle-aged military officer with a steady presence stepped onto the central platform.

The officer’s face was stern as he shouted loudly, “Quiet!”

All present were martial artists, naturally not noisy, and with the officer’s command, the hall fell silent.

The middle-aged officer, his aura like an abyss, spoke in a deep voice, “The restricted zone of the Thousand Demon Cave opens again, once every five years!”

“This time, the military will again list a kill ranking for you martial artists.

Anyone who slays over 100 First Rank mutated beasts can make the list!”

“The one ranked first on the list will be rewarded with ten million Federation Coins!”

“The second will receive five million Federation Coins!”

“The third will receive three million Federation Coins!”

“The fourth to tenth will each receive one million Federation Coins!”

“Besides this, there are many additional rewards waiting for all of you!”

After speaking, most people present showed slight changes in expression.

The university students and societal martial artists were relatively calm, but the high schoolers almost all began to breathe heavily.

Xu Zhou’s pupils also contracted slightly, “Ten million Federation Coins, how much cultivation resources could that buy?”

Ten million, that’s five times more than the Xia Family offered him.

However, Xu Zhou soon realized a problem: “There are a lot of university students and societal martial artists here, getting first place might not be easy.”

He glanced around.

Even Second Grade Martial Artists were not few.

Forget securing first place, even breaking into the top ten might not be easy against these people.

Fortunately, right then, the middle-aged officer continued, “Considering that high school martial arts students in previous years had difficulty making the list, this time with the opening of the restricted zone, we have an additional high school kill ranking!”

“Only high school martial artists are eligible to make the list; the rewards are as follows:”

“First place, one million Federation Coins!”

“Second place, five hundred thousand Federation Coins!”

“Third place, one hundred thousand Federation Coins!”

There’s actually a high school kill ranking!

Xu Zhou’s eyes sparkled instantly.

It’s very difficult to make the kill ranking, but the high school kill ranking?

He’s determined to win it!

“Huff!”

In the hall, many high schoolers’ Qi-Blood surged, 150 card Qi-Blood fluctuations rapidly filled the place.

Like Xu Zhou, they had no interest in making the kill ranking.

But the high school kill ranking?

They felt confident about getting first!

Huff!

Huff!

Huff!

Soon, the high school students present who had reached 150 card Qi-Blood, successively revealed their strength, unleashing their Qi-Blood fluctuations without reservation.

Those who could reach 150 card Qi-Blood before the college entrance exams were the top three ranked geniuses from each school.

They were dragons among men!

No one wanted to be overshadowed by others!

At this moment, everyone was competing against each other.

“Boom!”

Just then, a terrifying Qi-Blood fluctuation suddenly erupted, rising like a blazing sun, suppressing the entire venue.

“Is this…

160 card Qi-Blood?”

“Second Foundation Establishment!”

Everyone held their breath, looking at the individual with envy and shock.

It was a young man wielding a spear, with delicate features, exuding an extraordinary aura, sitting there like a towering pine tree!

Under his overwhelming pressure, the 150 card Qi-Bloods were crushed and obliterated.

But soon, several matching auras burst forth.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom…

One after another, 160 card auras soared to the sky, like several suns rising, engulfing the venue.

Several tall and proud young men and women, clad in armor and wielding weapons, stood unwaveringly.

They were Second Foundation Establishment prodigies!

The previous 150 card Qi-Blood fluctuations were immediately suppressed like mere fireflies.

The difference between Second and First Foundation Establishment was fully magnified at this moment.

The two were not even in the same league!

At this moment, the high school students who had achieved Second Foundation Establishment and 160 card Qi-Blood shined brightly and suppressed the venue.

These were the true prodigies, the darlings of the heavens.

Most of them were from Jiangzhou Inner City, including Jiang Lan and Liu He.

“So many have reached Second Foundation Establishment?” Xu Zhou was a little surprised.

“Not all of them.” Beside him, Li Ruoxi slightly shook her head, “Some are like me, still a bit short.”

Xu Zhou nodded, still feeling his blood boil.

At this moment, he realized the strength of those talents.

They were very strong!

This was truly a battle of prodigies!

No wonder the five-year opening of the Thousand Demon Cave was called the Jiangzhou genius battle.

If one could stand out from these people and take first place, that would be truly remarkable, Jiangzhou’s number one!

Li Ruoxi looked at him, smiled and said, “Want to take first place?”

Xu Zhou nodded.

Since he came, not taking first place would be letting himself down.

“I want it too,” Li Ruoxi’s eyes were firm.

Xu Zhou took a deep breath and extended his fist, “Let’s do it!”

“Yes, let’s do it.” Li Ruoxi also extended her delicate fist and bumped it with his.
