Chapter 126: There Were Actually Strengthening Points!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
In Andrew’s mind, the system’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Ding! You have defeated a fifth-grade fighter. Obtained +500 strengthening points!”
“Ding! You have defeated an opponent at the National Martial Arts Conference. Obtained +100 strengthening points!”
It could be like this?
Andrew was dumbfounded.
He had clearly not done anything.
He had won?
And he had even obtained 600 strengthening points for nothing.
Was it that easy?
Andrew had to admit that he was a little tempted.
But he thought carefully. If he participated in the competition, wouldn’t that fellow Clayton benefit soon?
Moreover, the strengthening points awarded in the martial arts competition were not that many.
If he went to the wilderness to find a seventh-grade demonic beast and killed it, he could obtain its demonic core and materials. Adding on the killing rewards, it came up to tens of thousands of strengthening points.
He really didn’t think much of the hundreds of strengthening points from participating in the martial arts competition.
Professor Halley continued to host the competition.
“Next, let’s invite the winner, Andrew, to the arena.”
Andrew subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted again.
“Hold on!”
A clear and soft voice came from above everyone’s heads.
A man dressed in white with a long sword in his hand lightly stepped in the air. His body flew over like a feather.
His movement technique was outstanding. In almost an instant, he landed at the edge of the arena.
He looked at Andrew with a smile and said, “Hello, Grandmaster Thunderblade. My name is Lex, and I’m a fourth-year student at the peak of the sixth grade. I would like to spar with Grandmaster Thunderblade. I wonder if you can fulfill my wish?”
The entire place was in an uproar.
As long as one was a student of Stanford University, they would know Lex.
Among all the students at Stanford University, Lex should be the one with the highest strength.
His cultivation had already reached the peak of the sixth grade.
He was only one step away from becoming a grandmaster.
He was considered an influential figure in the school. Usually, his white clothes fluttered in the wind, giving him a fairy-like aura. He was someone that all the girls in the school had admired for a long time.
“Senior Lex has actually returned.”
“Senior Lex probably just fought with a demon beast outside. It is said that his strength has reached the peak of the sixth grade.”
“The biggest difference between the grandmaster realm is that he possesses powerful mental strength. It is said that Senior Lex has already touched the edge of that mental strength. He is just a little bit away.”
“Do you think Senior Lex can defeat Grandmaster Thunderblade?”
“It is absolutely impossible. The gap between sixth and seventh grade is too big.” The moment this question was asked, a student beside him shook his head and denied it.
“But it is not certain. Senior Lex can be called the strongest sixth-grade warrior, while Grandmaster Thunderblade is ranked second from the bottom on the grandmaster ranking. He is considered the weakest grandmaster.”
“So, can the strongest fighter of the sixth grade beat the weakest fighter of the seventh grade?”
Andrew and Lex could hear the discussions of these students.
After listening, the corners of Lex’s mouth rose slightly, revealing a trace of a smile.
These people were right. He was just a little bit away from becoming a seventh-grade grandmaster.
Among the fighters of the sixth grade, it was already difficult for him to find an opponent. He had even sparred with a few teachers in the school, but none of them was a match for him.
He had been looking for the feeling of a breakthrough in his spiritual power, but he still lacked an opportunity.
This was why he went to the wilderness to look for a demonic beast to fight. He wanted to find the inspiration for a breakthrough in the battle.
This time, he went to the wilderness to look for a seventh-grade demonic beast. Unfortunately, he was not a match for it, and the battle was too dangerous.
That was why he returned to Stanford University and happened to run into the National Martial Arts Conference.
Although Grandmaster Thunderblade was very strong, his life was not in danger.
That was why Lex had such an idea. He wanted to spar with Grandmaster Thunderblade and try to find inspiration for a breakthrough.
His body was filled with fighting spirit, and his eyes were staring straight at Andrew.
He only needed one battle!
Under the pressure of a grandmaster, he might be able to comprehend some new things.
At that time, he would be able to break through to the seventh-grade realm.
He would let everyone in the school know that Grandmaster Thunderblade was not the only genius.
Andrew also heard the discussions around him. His gaze swept over Lex, and he immediately understood what the other party meant.
Lex’s aura was already strong enough, reaching the peak of the sixth grade.
The other party clearly wanted to use him as a stepping stone and use this battle as an opportunity to break through.
How was that possible?
Andrew did not want to fight to begin with, let alone let others take advantage of him.
“Teacher Halley!” Andrew said, “I want to admit defeat.”
As soon as these words were said, everyone on the field, including Teacher Halley, had shocked expressions on their faces.
“Why did you admit defeat?” Professor Halley asked, puzzled.
“Professor Halley, you can investigate. This registration was not my own intention. It was someone else who helped registered in my name. It can be said that I was deceived. So, now I want to withdraw from the martial arts competition.”
Professor Halley turned his head to look at him, puzzled.
Professor Elena, who was behind him, nodded.
That was indeed the case.
She was in charge of registering for the martial arts conference. At that time, it was Clayton who had reported Andrew’s name to her.
Teacher Halley nodded. “That’s good too. As a seventh grade grandmaster, you are indeed not suitable to participate in this martial arts conference.”
However, there was one person who was unwilling, and that was Lex.
It was not easy for him to find an opportunity to fight against a grandmaster. How could he let Andrew escape?
Lex took a step forward. The aura on his body surged out like a tidal wave, pressing towards Andrew.
Lex asked with a sneer, “In order not to fight with me, Grandmaster Thunderblade even proposed to withdraw from the competition. Could it be that you are afraid? Or is it that you, a seventh-grade grandmaster, are delusional?”
His aura became stronger and stronger.
The surrounding students also looked at him with great curiosity. They were curious about his answer.
Andrew laughed.
A sixth-grade warrior actually dared to question him like this?
“I don’t want to fight with you because I’m afraid that your self-esteem will be damaged. The gap between the two of us is too big. There’s no need to spar at all.”
“You only know how to run your mouth. Why don’t we spar!”
Lex rushed forward at high speed. Countless sword lights appeared on his body and surged in all directions. The longsword in his hand stabbed out a stream of sword aura.
The aura was very strong, and he used his ultimate move directly.
The longsword in his hand was swift. Not many students around could see it clearly.
They could only see a white light streaking across the sky.
Andrew narrowed his eyes. He was already a little angry. He had withdrawn from the competition, yet this fellow was still bothering him.
“You are not worthy to fight with me!”
Andrew did not even take out his weapon. His hand was like a sharp sword as he waved it forward.
Boom!
With a loud and earth-shattering sound, all of Lex’s attacks were disintegrated.
A terrifying aura enveloped the entire field, and lightning shot out from Andrew’s hand.
