Chapter 42: Lightning Speed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Benwei suppressed the anger in his heart.
“Mr. Principal, what do you mean by this?”
Chen Yuan’s expression did not change. “Lu Benwei, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. It’s just a top-secret area of the library. The access isn’t for students, even if you’re from the Hunter Special Combat Class.
“If I made this promise today because you wanted to save your adopted sister, and someone wanted to save his father, mother, and relatives the next day, what would you do? If we can access it just to save people, what should we do when someone suggests that he wants to improve his strength?”
Chen Yuan sighed. “The top-secret area isn’t as simple as having legendary skill scrolls! There are many books in there. They contain some of the secrets that happened in the Dragon Kingdom since the age of the hunters. It’s like a Pandora’s Box.”
Lu Benwei clenched his fists and asked, “How can I enter it?”
Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed. “It’s simple. Let me see your value. For example, you’re the top student of this year’s freshmen and your future far exceeds all the previous freshmen.”
“What do you mean?” Lu Benwei was stunned.
Chen Yuan held a document in his hand and said, “Just a moment ago, the new rules for the freshmen tournament were announced. The freshmen tournament will follow the rules of the point-accumulation speed competition and point-accumulation elimination competition.
“The process is more brutal than ever. The point-based speed competition is to see who can kill monsters, while the point-based elimination competition is to see who can eliminate more freshmen. As long as you have the ability, the freshmen competition that was supposed to last three days can end in one day.”
Chen Yuan added, “However, there are many books in the top-secret area of the library. Whether or not we can find information about the fire of hell depends entirely on our luck.”
Lu Benwei’s clenched fists loosened, and his eyes gradually became determined.
…
That night, the entire school was notified that the freshmen competition that would be held three days later would be held in advance on the next day.
Other than Lu Benwei, the new students of Zhejiang Hunter University were all howling.
“What’s going on? I was still planning to enhance my equipment tomorrow and use it three days later.”
“According to the school’s explanation, to deepen the teaching reform and better determine the number one freshman this year, it has been brought forward to tomorrow.”
“In that case, the school wants to take us by surprise so that they can better test our strength when we’re not prepared?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Protest! Even if that’s the case, you can’t ignore us freshmen, right?”
However, the protest was overruled.
The next day, the freshmen competition was held.
More than 900 new students were gathered on the field that could accommodate 10,000 people.
Chen Yuan stood in the middle of the platform, looking impressive and extraordinary.
“I know that this year’s freshmen competition has caused a lot of complaints from the students, making me look like I’ve committed a heinous crime.”
Chen Yuan suddenly laughed. “Everyone, please don’t panic. Let me finish talking about the rewards. It’s not too late to curse then. The first place in the freshmen tournament will be rewarded with a set of purple-grade equipment, three epic-grade skill scrolls, and academic credits.
“The prize for second place is an epic-level skill scroll and academic credits!”
At this point, no one in the school was listening.
“A set of purple equipment and three epic skill scrolls.”
“Even SS-rank resources don’t get this kind of treatment, right?”
Chen Yuan laughed and said, “Just as you all have expected, the first place in this year’s freshmen competition will receive an unprecedented SSS-rank resource!”
The moment he said that, most of the freshmen were gasping for air.
To restore the glory of Zhejiang Hunter University, the school was really giving it its all!
Then, here came the problem. Who would be the top freshman?
Mo Tianyu from the Hunter Special Combat Class?
Was it Chu Yan, the beautiful girl who had obtained s-level resources?
Or was it the unprecedented top student of the magician class, Lu Benwei?
The answer would only be known after the competition.
Then, Chen Yuan announced the rules of the competition, “In this competition, you’ll be divided into two groups A and B, and you’ll go through two stages together.
“The first stage is the speed competition. The two groups will hunt monsters in two level 20 secret realms. Accumulate 10,000 points and advance to the second stage of the elimination round.”
As soon as this rule was announced, most of the new students present sucked in a breath of cold air.
“F*ck, a level 20 secret realm?”
“F*ck, the level 10 secret realm in the martial arts assessment already exhausted me, and now I’ve reached level 20.”
“Isn’t the school afraid that someone will die from this?”
However, what made their scalps tingle even more was the point-based knockout competition that followed.
In the point-based elimination round, if no one was eliminated, they would accumulate 100 points. The person with the highest points in Groups A and B would enter the final round.
“Whoever came up with this rule, I curse you to have a son without an anus!”
“Even the donkeys in the production team don’t dare to do this!”
Chen Yuan, who was on the rostrum, heard the curses coming from below and laughed coldly.
He looked at Lu Benwei.
“I set this rule especially for you. Don’t let me down.”
…
The first stage was about to begin!
Lu Benwei and Mo Tianyu were enemies on a narrow road. He and the nine students from the Hunter Special Combat Class were all in Group B.
In Group A were Chu Yan, Zhao Xiaoqi, and Lin Feng.
The two invigilators flew over. The two of them waved their hands, and the two-dimensional passages opened up!
Lu Benwei could not wait any longer.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as he was about to step in, Liu Yi suddenly called out to him.
“Lu Benwei, stop!”
Lu Benwei said, “Mr. Liu, I’m in a hurry. Let’s talk later!”
Liu Yi’s face turned red with anxiety. “I gave you a treasure. Why are you still angry with me? Alright, I won’t waste my breath.
“I made a bet yesterday and won five epic skill scrolls. I took a look and one of them is suitable for you!”
Then, he stuffed a purple scroll into Lu Benwei’s hand.
Lu Benwei did not rush to open it. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, “Thank you!”
“Go, go, everyone’s almost inside.”
Lu Benwei did not waste any more time and directly entered the level 20 secret realm.
After a burst of dazzling light, Lu Benwei appeared on the bank of a river.
“What skill scroll did Mr. Liu give me?”
Lu Benwei opened it and the information about the epic skill instantly drilled into his mind.
[Lightning Speed (all-level speed enhancing skill)]
[Effect: speed increased by 20 percent. Can be stacked multiple times, up to five times. Duration of 5 minutes. Cooldown time: 10 minutes. Duration shortened by 30 seconds after each stack.]
“Aww, Mr. Lin!”
Lu Benwei’s eyes were wet.
This speed increase was only 20 percent, but it could be stacked five times, and the speed increase could reach 100%! It was comparable to a legendary skill!
Mr. Liu’s expectations of him were obvious!
Lu Benwei put away Lightning Speed.
No matter what, his goal had always been the first place in this competition!
