Ring ring.
After school, many students were not in a hurry to leave. Instead, they ran to the Academic Affairs Office to ask about the tournament.
Zhou Hao followed Zhang Yi to the cafeteria since there were free leftovers in the canteen.
The two sat together and chatted while eating.
“Zhang Yi, you are at the second level of blood essence. You should be able to participate in this tournament, right?” Zhou Hao said as he took a bite of a bun.
Zhang Yi nodded and wolfed down a few bites before saying, “I am able to participate, but I don’t feel like signing up.”
Zhou Hao asked curiously, “Why?”
“It’ll be a waste of time even if I go.” Zhang Yi forced a smile. “Everyone at the third level of blood essence will definitely participate since the rewards for this tournament this time are so generous. So even if I go, I can only set my sights on the sixth to tenth place. Although it is true that I am ranked higher than the others who are also at the second level of blood essence, you should also know that I have had blood essence shortage problems for a while now. I can do well on tests, but not on fights.”
Zhou Hao frowned and asked, “What rank do you think you’ll get if you participate?”
Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said helplessly, “There are only 13 people who outrank me in blood essence in our year and there are 7 people who are similar to me in terms of blood essence. If I really participate in the battle, I might be ranked around 21.”
Having understood Zhang Yi, Zhou Hao smiled and said, “Zhang Yi, don’t worry and sign up. I have a way to let you enter the top ten!”
Zhang Yi exclaimed and looked at Zhou Hao in surprise.
“Trust me, you don’t have to worry about the rest.” Zhou Hao said mysteriously.
“Alright, I’ll participate then.” Zhang Yi nodded heavily.
Two days passed in a flash.
By the third morning, the registration of the heated year three Strength Tournament had been closed.
The applicant list was posted on the notice board of the Academic Affairs Office.
During the morning exercise period, many students rushed to the noticeboard.
“There are more than 400 year three students who have first level blood essence and above. There are also more than 400 people on this list. It seems that almost everyone is participating.”
“Who wouldn’t participate when there are such generous rewards?!”
“That’s right, you’ll be rich if you could just make it to the top ten!”
“Dream on. Do you really think it’s that easy to enter the top ten?”
There was no lack of discussion among the crowded students. Everyone’s faces were brimming with excitement.
Zhou Hao looked at the dense crowd of people. Even though he had good eyesight, he was still unable to get a good look at the noticeboard. Therefore, he squeezed through the crowd without exerting too much force and pushed most of the students away.
Some students who knew Zhou Hao immediately mocked, “Zhou Hao, why are you trying to get through? You don’t even have the qualifications to register. What’s the use of looking at the name list?”
Zhou Hao ignored them and squeezed into the front row. His eyes quickly swept across the list, while secretly memorizing the names of the students who were speculated to be likely to get into the top ten.
Lunch break.
On the wide training grounds of the school…
Many students who had signed up for the tournament were training and working hard. They were busy getting ready as the elimination round would be held in the afternoon.
Students with second level blood essence and even third level blood essence, like Xu Ling, were also working hard.
After all, the Strength Tournament was announced so suddenly.
No one was prepared.
Zhou Hao swept his eyes around. After confirming the positions of the students who had potential to make the top ten, he lowered his head and walked over.
He first approached Wang Ming, who was three times stronger than him. When Zhou Hao got close and was only three to four meters away, he pretended to stumble and crashed into Wang Ming.
Wang Ming reacted quickly and dodged Zhou Hao.
“Are you blind?” Wang Ming asked coldly when he saw Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao steadied himself and apologized profusely. At the same time, he stepped forward and gently patted Wang Ming’s back. “Did I hit you?”
Wang Ming scoffed. “You? Get lost. Don’t hinder my training.”
“Yes, yes.”
Zhou Hao quickly left, but he was sneering in his heart. Keep being arrogant, you won’t be able to move in a while.
Last night, after testing out his strength in the training hall, Zhou Hao had also specially trained his control of strength.
Although it was just a light slap, Zhou Hao had broken several of Wang Ming’s tiny meridians. As long as Wang Ming continued to circulate his blood, blood would clot up in his meridians and eventually his blood essence would be blocked, preventing him from moving.
After that, Zhou Hao used different methods to approach the other students who had potential in making the top ten and did the same thing to them.
Of course, these minor injuries were insignificant to students who had been training for years. They would recover in a day or two.
Zhou Hao’s goal was to prevent them from participating in the tournament that was to be held in the afternoon.
Moreover, he varied the damages and was more unkind towards the ones who he had grudges with.
“Huh? Lu Jian isn’t training?” Zhou Hao looked around for an extra time and frowned. He had already made plans for Lu Jian.
Not only did the latter have a bad reputation, he had even bullied Zhou Hao before.
“He probably left the school again.” Zhou Hao did not intend to let Lu Jian off. He immediately left the school and followed the broad road on the right to a dense residential area.
He had heard that Lu Jian often came here for lunch.
When he reached a building in the neighborhood, he saw Lu Jian, who was discussing something with a few men and women.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Lu Jian was using this tournament to secretly start bets in the school.
“Big Brother Lei, here’s a total of 100,000 yuan,” Lu Jian said to a young man with a humble look.
“Why is it only so little?” The young man was displeased.
“There’s nothing we can do about it. Qu City is poor to begin with. If not for the sudden appearance of the tournament, we wouldn’t even be able to get 100,000 yuan!”
“Alright, the usual rules. Give me 60,000 yuan and come here tomorrow to get the Meridian Opening Pill.”
Zhou Hao’s ears twitched. Meridian Opening Pills were much more expensive than Blood Amalgamation Pills. They were the main pill used for cultivating the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Technique.
No wonder Lu Jian often came here. It turned out that he had obtained a medicinal pill channel.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Hao stomped on the ground and sped away.
“Who is it?”
Brother Lei had just reacted when he saw a lightning-like shadow attack.
Bang! Bang!
Zhou Hao knocked them out easily.
Furthermore, Zhou Hao punched Lu Jian an extra two more times. Lu Jian would be bedridden for at least half a year.
After taking the money from Brother Lei and Lu Jian, Zhou Hao left quickly.
He did not feel guilty at all about robbing these people of their money.
On the way, Zhou Hao was in a good mood. Back then, he didn’t even have 1,000 yuan and needed to borrow from Zhang Yi, but now he had a total of 100,000 yuan.
It was simply a huge comeback.
“100,000 yuan, how should I use it…” Zhou Hao pondered. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and slapped his thigh..” I’m so stupid. Lu Jian isn’t the only one around the school who’s starting bets! ”
