Chapter 25: A Challenge? You’re Just a Toy
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The competition was carried out in a grandiose manner.
Most of the top ten students were from the First Academy.
Among them, there was no lack of Su Zi's fans.
They were all holding back their anger and wanted to compete with Lin Bai.
While trying to show off, it would be best if they could destroy Lin Bai's limelight and attract the goddess' attention.
At the venue, the staff members were setting up the place.
The first one to draw lots was Xu Kun. He was unlucky as he would be up against students from the First Academy.
As Lin Bai's good brother...
He naturally became the opponents' secondary target.
As he was not strong enough, he was abused three times in a row and left the stage with his butt rubbed.
Xu Kun cursed, "Those beasts are ruthless! They went all-out on me when I'm only at Mortal Body stage 5!"
Lin Bai passed him a bottle of medicine for bruises and falls, frowning.
"If I meet them later, I'll take revenge for you."
"Alright!" Xu Kun was excited. "Remember to kick their butts!"
"Definitely!"
Next, it was the Second Academy student's turn to draw lots.
He did not get Su Zi, who was known as the little devil, nor did he get Lin Bai, who was a freak.
He also encountered three students from the First Academy, but his abilities were slightly inferior, so he was also fully defeated.
The next to appear was a student from the First Academy.
He quickly took out a bamboo stick, and the host announced that he had gotten Su Zi.
In the end...
"Su Zi, I've never made a move on girls. I'll let you have this point."
Facing this person's goodwill, Su Zi's face was cold. She exposed him mercilessly, "Tsk, you're making it seem like you can beat me."
The boy did not get angry after being ridiculed like that, and he got off the stage with a smile.
Then, he continued to draw another lot.
Coincidentally, he got Lin Bai.
Now, there was a commotion.
"Hiss... He's really unlucky. It seems that he won't finish in the top three. Losing two points in a row means that he'll have no chance."
"Who told him to be pretentious? He tried to be gentlemanly in front of Beauty Su to leave a good impression. Hehe, now, his retribution has come."
"If I were Lin Bai, I would give him a good beating! How dare he try to hit on someone else's girlfriend? I'll beat the sh*t out of him!"
"...Friend, don't get too into character. She's Lin Bai's girlfriend, not yours."
"I'm talking about his girlfriend, I'm just putting myself in his shoes, do you understand?"
"..."
Unknowingly, from the audience's perspective, Lin Bai had become superior to Su Zi.
Everyone agreed.
Whoever drew Lin Bai would lose without a doubt. They could only take a beating and admit that they were unlucky.
Soon, both parties went on stage and shook hands.
Lin Bai was well-behaved and did not make any petty moves.
On the other hand, the other party used force as if he wanted to crush Lin Bai's fingers.
At the same time, the student sneered.
"Lin Bai? It's a pleasure to meet you.
"Don't think that you can have Su Zi for the rest of your life just because you're his boyfriend now.
"I'll tell you what.
"Since you're facing me today, it'll be over for you guys."
Lin Bai could not be bothered to explain. He asked, "Did you hit my brother hard on purpose?"
"So what if I did?" The smile on the student's face grew wider. "You'll end up the same later!"
Lin Bai's eyes narrowed as he slowly exerted force.
The man's expression changed drastically. He felt as if his palm was being restrained by a hydraulic press, and the force of the restraint was getting stronger.
The intense pain made it difficult for him to maintain his original calm posture.
He wanted to resist, but he was surprised to find that he could not.
His strength seemed to be nothing to Lin Bai!
"How's this possible…?"
The boy was the top student of the First Academy!
What was the difference between a top student from the Fifth Academy and a flunkie? How could Lin Bai be compared to him?
Fortunately, the bell rang at this moment, and the judge asked them to start the battle.
As Lin Bai loosened his grip and stepped back, a relaxed expression finally appeared on his face.
Very quickly, he became serious again and began to treat the opponent in front of him with caution.
His opponent thought, 'Perhaps Lin Bai's strength is his strong grip.
'This doesn't mean that my strength is inferior to his.
'A martial artist in stage 2 versus one in stage 1.
'As long as I don't let my guard down, the chances of me winning are still very high.'
Unfortunately...
His imagination was rich, but the reality was cruel.
Lin Bai was only at stage 1 because he could only break through to that level in one night.
This did not mean that he only had the strength of a martial artist at stage 1.
After the countdown ended, Lin Bai increased his speed to the maximum, and with a few steps, he turned into a violent gust of wind that swept over his opponent.
The student was still thinking of a way to resist.
He was dazed for a moment.
The next second, he was sent flying.
He only felt a strong impact on his chest.
His body involuntarily spun in the air.
Seeing that he was about to land outside the ring, he hurriedly reached out to grab the fence, trying to use it to return to the ring.
In the end, he was kicked in the butt again.
He instantly turned into a human cannonball and was smashed into the open space in the distance.
Thump!
The floor tiles cracked, and dust rose.
The student fell out of the ring and was in a state of confusion.
The judge's voice was heard coming from the stage.
"The winner is Lin Bai!"
Only then did the student realize that he had lost for no reason.
He looked up at the big screen.
It was replaying Lin Bai's final winning move.
From a third person's point of view, the student was like a toy at the mercy of the other party.
He could not even move an inch before he was blasted off the stage by Lin Bai's violent attack, let alone resist.
What did this mean?
This meant that whether it was in terms of speed, strength, or reaction time, he was completely crushed by Lin Bai!
It was obvious that this was the result of Lin Bai's three base attributes far exceeding his.
The student's face was filled with disbelief.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands.
He could not understand why there was such a huge gap between him and Lin Bai.
