Chapter 73: I Have the Advantage!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The cultivation room looked worn down as if it had been bombed by a cannonball.
Chu Lingjun’s face was pale, but he stared at the deep pit not far away with excitement and power!
If he were to use his full strength, the might of his lightning would definitely reach a Late Stage Rank Two martial artist after the amplification of the Kui Drum and the Thunder Beast Mallet!
This was a great trump card!
Although using it once would drain his spiritual power and spiritual energy, the Kui Drum was also a storage that had the function of storing electricity!
In other words, he could use this trump card twice!
The Thunder Beast Mallet did not consume much spiritual and mental power. The main consumption came from the Kui Drum.
Chu Lingjun’s eyes lit up. He was an Early Stage Rank Two esper, but he could use a skill that was as powerful as a late Stage Rank Two esper, twice!
“It seems that you have obtained two powerful weapons.”
“It’s all thanks to you!”
“Yes, yes.”
After a simple experiment, Chu Lingjun hid the two spiritual weapons.
Fortunately, the two spiritual weapons weren’t big. The Kui Drum was only half the size of a washbasin and three centimeters thick. Chu Lingjun wore it around his waist and covered it with his shirt. If an ordinary person didn’t look closely, they wouldn’t be able to tell.
The mallet was even easier to hide. It was half the size of an arm and as thick as a thumb. It would be difficult to spot it even if it was hidden in a sleeve, tied to a thigh, or hidden in a coat.
After concealing the two spirit weapons, Chu Lingjun touched the Kui Drum in front of his stomach through his clothes. In a good mood, he couldn’t help but want to beat the drum and sing.
With these two spiritual weapons, it would be even more convenient and faster to scheme against people…
He walked out of the cultivation room, and to his surprise, there was a commotion coming from the school field.
It was the second year’s midterm exam.
Students were gathered below the arena to watch the competition, and the number of first year students were plentiful because there were no classes.
The students could improve their combat awareness, strengthen their martial arts, and also better understand the gap between themselves and their seniors through observation.
Therefore, if there were no special circumstances to attend classes, almost all the first year students were outside the arena.
Chu Lingjun said his goodbyes to Shen Yanhu and walked straight to the field.
For the midterm exam, the format of the second and third years was the same as that of the first year.
Therefore, Chu Lingjun wanted to know who was the strongest in second year.
There were already quite a number of people in front of the first arena. Chu Lingjun even saw a few familiar faces.
“Lingjun, you’re here!”
As soon as she saw Chu Lingjun, Chen Zhiqi immediately waved her hand and gestured for him to come over. At the same time, she tried her best to squeeze out an empty space around her so that Chu Lingjun could enter.
“How’s it going so far?”
Chu Lingjun smiled. Like a fish swimming in the water, he squeezed his way towards Chen Zhiqi.
The surrounding students were originally very unhappy about someone squeezing in. However, when they saw that it was Chu Lingjun, they immediately took a step back silently, allowing him to enter easily.
There was nothing they could do even if they had objections. They couldn’t beat him!
“Why are you here so early?” Chu Lingjun looked at Chen Zhiqi’s beautiful features and smiled.
“There’s a lot for me to learn. Otherwise, how can I defeat you?” Chen Zhiqi snorted. Chu Lingjun’s strength seemed to be increasing faster than hers, which made her very distressed.
Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but laugh.
‘I’m a cheater. If you want to surpass me, you’d have to cheat too!’
In the ring, a man and a woman were fighting. They were the first and second ranking students of year two — Wang Tong and Bai Lan!
Wang Tong was an Early Stage Rank Two martial artist with superpowers.
Bai Lan was an Early Stage Rank Two esper and a Late Stage Rank One esper.
On the stage, Wang Tong let out a low growl as he infused his true qi into the long sword in his hand. Instantly, a two-meter-long blade energy was unleashed, tearing through the air and slashing toward Bai Lan.
Bai Lan nimbly dodged to the side. The saber qi slashed onto the stage, directly forming a saber mark on the hard floor tiles.
After dodging the attack, Bai Lan threw a fireball at Wang Tong.
Wang Tong swung his sword back, and the fireball that was flying toward him was split in half. The flames exploded and scattered into dust.
However, just as he finished one fireball, another four or five fireballs came at him in succession, enveloping the arena.
Wang Tong’s body was immediately covered in a layer of transparent armor.
The fireball smashed into the boy and exploded. A scorching heat wave swept through the surroundings, and hot wind whistled.
However, Wang Tong’s clothes remained motionless in the hot wind. It was as if he was wearing heavy armor.
Wang Tong, who was wrapped in a layer of true qi, dashed through the flames of the fireballs and approached Bai Lan with his long sword.
However, an even hotter flame erupted from the girl. She raised her hands high, and a fireball with a diameter of half a meter slowly condensed above her head.
A terrifying destructive power was released and condensed from Bai Lan’s
body, shocking everyone!
Wang Tong’s face changed, but he gritted his teeth and covered his body with a layer of earthen armor. Then, he continued to charge toward Bai Lang!
It was his Earth Element Mastery!
A huge explosion occurred in the arena, and after the shockwave, Wang Tong’s clothes were torn and his hair was burnt. Yet, he still stood tall.
Bai Lan fell to the ground in pain, her face as pale as paper.
It was obvious that Wang Tong had won the match with his true ei and Earth Elemental Armor. When the dust settled, the students in the audience cheered excitedly.
“As expected of a second year!” Chen Zhiqi could not help but let out a low cry. She fanatically looked at the two people on the stage.
Chu Lingjun’s expression was blank. He was not impressed by the fight.
Indeed, after breaking through to Early Stage Rank Two, Chu Lingjun was absolutely confident that he could defeat the top three students in year two.
“You espers are practically cheaters!”
At this moment, Chen Zhiqi spoke again. She pursed her lips and looked at Chu Lingjun with a bitter expression. “When superpowers can be combined with a fighter’s cultivation, it becomes even more unfair. When will we ever get a fighting chance?”
Chen Zhiqi was not the only one who had similar troubles. Other martial artists also had similar thoughts.
When facing a single martial artist or a single esper, a person who practiced both martial arts and had superpowers would have a huge advantage!
