Chapter 1107: Advance or Fall Behind
Pfft—
Crimson liquid sprayed from Yue Qiguang’s mouth like water from a showerhead!
Drip~
Drip~
Drip~
...
The blood drops almost submerged the floor beneath Yue Qiguang...
And Yue Qiguang?
His strong, muscular body, at this moment, was like a lone canoe drifting in a storm, trembling slightly, wobbling... as if the next second, it would be smashed by these merciless waves.
...
Witnessing this scene, the surrounding students uncharacteristically fell silent.
The students challenging him also grew silent around Yue Qiguang.
No one spoke, and no one moved...
The surroundings were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Challengers and onlookers alike stared at Yue Qiguang with an indescribable, bizarre expression, as he continued his struggle to support his body amidst the swaying storm.
The blood at his lips still dripped, dripped, dripped...
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
Lou glanced at his wristwatch, looked at the time displayed, and said with some disbelief, "30 seconds have passed, and he’s still spraying blood."
Ren An stroked his chin and said, "He’s sprayed three times in total, plus the continuous flow. I estimate he’s sprayed at least three pounds by now?" He seemed a bit unsure about this figure and asked, "What do you guys think?"
Zhong Qing clapped his hands, "More! Definitely more than three pounds."
Xuzhou’s expression was indescribable, "How is he still bouncing around?"
Ren An said, "Exaggerated!"
Lou said, "Pretentious!"
Zhong Qing said, "Fake!"
Xuzhou sniffed and looked around, "I smell tomatoes, do you guys smell it too?"
Lou pinched his nose, "Yes! It’s garlic-flavored tomato sauce! Ugh, I hate garlic."
Ren An also pinched his nose with disdain, "I equally hate garlic. Garlic should be off the menu."
Zhong Qing looked at Yue Qiguang, who was embarrassed and angry after being ruthlessly ridiculed for his exaggerated acting, and said with a smile, "Actually, the tomato sauce of this brand tastes pretty good. I often buy it to dip fries. But Yue Qiguang choosing this brand is a big mistake because it’s made with natural tomatoes and garlic. So there’s a natural garlic aroma that’s hard to hide. I suggest he use artificial blood next time."
After a while, no weak chicken fell for it, and Yue Qiguang’s face looked terrible upon hearing the little weaklings in the eliminated zone comment on his acting skills. He frowned grumpily, cursing, "Weaklings! Trash! Even if I don’t act, I can crush you all. Hmph!"
"Acting! It’s just the cherry on top of my strength," Yue Qiguang proudly defended himself, spat hard to remove the remaining tomato sauce from his mouth, then raised his hand and wiped the corner of his lips hard, "Who! Who dares to challenge me?"
...
Although Yue Qiguang’s acting was flamboyant with no deception whatsoever, his loud boasting made everyone wary of his strength. At this moment, for him to still shout so loudly with his body all lively, like an unruly rooster jumping around the training field...
What does that imply?
It means Yue Qiguang’s strength is still preserved at least 90%.
For a moment, no one dared to schedule a fight with Yue Qiguang.
Lou glanced at Yue Qiguang’s left leg, where a joint was somewhat hidden. If one didn’t pay special attention, they wouldn’t notice that Yue Qiguang’s left ankle was twisted.
So—
The playful smirk on Lou’s lips gradually disappeared, and his face turned serious.
Even an idiot like Yue Qiguang, number 2222, can hide his weak side with such flamboyant acting that anyone could see through...
This!
The world has changed.
Lou held his mouth tightly shut, determined not to let his expression collapse.
His unexpected elimination from the top ranks of the Combat Department was not an accident but an inevitability.
Stand still, and you fall behind.
Even with his slight efforts, his classmates put in 10 times, 100 times, 1000 times more effort than himself... No one stopped, no one stuck to the original plan, and no one waited for him to catch up slowly...
Becoming a Mechanical Warrior is something that requires continuous advancement, a must.
Lou put away his mocking and playful demeanor, clenching his fist tightly.
...
On the other side.
Chu Jiaojiao’s battle with her opponent reached a fever pitch. She was severely wounded, but Chu Jiaojiao did not withdraw or avoid; instead, she met her opponent head-on every time. Moreover, she launched proactive attacks.
1.
2.
3.
...
Even the spectators in the elimination zone couldn’t remember how many opponents Chu Jiaojiao had knocked out, then they heard—
Bang!
After knocking her opponent to the ground, Chu Jiaojiao stood with the wind, lifted her chin, and looked at her around classmates, saying, "Anyone else?"
Silence.
Still silent.
Chu Jiaojiao’s combat style today differed from others. She didn’t use any techniques or adopt strategies like avoiding battle or delay-to-recover but aggressively attacked throughout.
She kept on attacking, never stopping.
The training ground was as bustling as a marketplace, yet Chu Jiaojiao forcefully tore a path through the crowd. Where she passed, the ground was littered with ’corpses.’
Only now did everyone truly understand why Chu Jiaojiao was nicknamed a ’beast.’
Indeed a beast.
She lived up to the name ’beast.’
On the other side.
Yue Qiyuan’s performance was also outstanding, as he adopted a combat style entirely different from other students. He didn’t engage in close combat with his opponents or use weapons to assist; instead, he directly used spiritual power to attack the opponent.
Every battle he fought took a long time and was exceptionally arduous, but without exception, he achieved victory in all of them.
About 1,000 meters from Yue Qiyuan’s position, Sheng Qingyan narrowed his eyes, like an icy killing machine, methodically eliminating students on the training ground one by one.
...
This unexpected battle, Mu Jianling watched silently the whole time, without making a noise. By the end, only nine students remained on the training ground: Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, Sheng Qingyan, Lance, Liu Fufeng, Yu Song.
Then—
Everyone stared wide-eyed at Liu Fufeng, who had camped in the corner without moving, winning by doing nothing. The feeling was very peculiar. Even Ji You looked inquisitively at Liu Fufeng, sitting in the seat next to them, and asked, "Student Fufeng, how did you manage to get by?"
Liu Fufeng replied with innocent eyes, "I never really moved."
