Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

Two days later.

“Today, we will be announcing the contents of the final exam. Other than Lan Xuanyu, Bai Xiuxiu, Lan Mengqin, Qian Lei, Liu Feng, Tang Yuge, and Yuanen Huihui, the rest of you will conduct your test in the academy. All of you will be challenging the second years and will go through an elimination tournament. Each time both parties will have one person going up, one versus one. The victor can continue the next round and the loser will be eliminated. Until one class is completely eliminated.”

What the hell? Two years against each other? Elimination tournament?

But why didn’t they include Lan Xuanyu’s team? They were the strongest in the class! With seven people missing, there were only 26 people left among the first years. They were up against 30 second years, and the second years had Battle Armors.

“Teacher, can the second years wear their Battle Armor?” Ding Zhuohan immediately raised his hand and asked.

“They can. They have their Battle Armor, but don’t you guys have Spirit Soul that you brought back from the Elven Planet ? You aren’t suffering that much. If our class wins, all of you will pass. If you lose, you can pray for yourself. If the second years lose, they will be in an even worse state. They will have to be enrolled in the Devil curriculum next year, so you guys will have to face second years putting their lives on the line. The battle will happen in the real world, not inside a simulation pod. We will begin in three days.”

Could they win?

It was really hard to say. Although many first years had already fused with their Spirit Soul and undergone a qualitative change, second years were still second years after all. Not only did they have an additional year of cultivation, but the main point was that completing the second year required to have a One-Word Battle Armor.

In terms of cultivation, the second years wouldn’t be much stronger than the first years because they had to make their Battle Armor. There were many first years who had fused with a true 10,000-year Spirit Soul, so they might not be at a disadvantage. But they had fewer people than the other party! Also, their opponents had One-Word Battle Armors! The defensive and amplification effects of Battle Armors were quite strong. This was not easy to deal with.

As they looked at each other, everyone’s gaze landed on Lan Xuanyu. As the class leader, his command and planning were very important.

Lan Xuanyu wasn’t surprised at all when he heard Xiao Qi say that the seven of them weren’t included in the final exam. This was within his expectations. Who asked the Emperor Fruits to be so eye-catching? Furthermore, they had once challenged the seniors and won consecutively.

Lan Xuanyu stood up and said, “Everyone, please don’t be upset. The academy arranged for us to fight against the second years during the final exam, and with so few of us, what does this mean? It means that the academy acknowledges us and thinks that we are stronger than the second years. We should be proud of this. Although the seven of us will not be participating, I believe that our class will definitely win. When I’m not around, Bing Tianliang will be presiding over the battle. He has already broken through to five-ring and fused with the Purple Lightning Bear Spirit Soul. In terms of individual combat strength, he is stronger than me. Zhuohan will assist him. I suggest that Old Bing be the first to go on stage and win as many battles as he can. I will go and buy five Endless Life Fruits for everyone this afternoon. This will be my contribution to our class. I will give it to the brothers and sisters who have fused with a 10,000-year Spirit Soul. If you guys still can’t win, it will be embarrassing!”

The corners of Xiao Qi’s mouth twitched. Five Endless Life Fruits sounded so easy! This stuff wasn’t cheap!

With an Endless Life Fruit, a soul master’s endurance would increase by at least twofold. Furthermore, an Endless Life Fruit was not something a person could absorb after a battle.

Was this considered cheating? Of course not. One purple emblem for one fruit, the second years could also try to buy some too! But could they afford it?

Should I report this to the academy? Should I give up on being part of the honor?

Xiao Qi stood up and said indifferently, “I didn’t hear anything. Lan Xuanyu, come look for me in the office after you’re done.” With that said, he left. His dear first years had to defeat the second years.

The moment he walked out of the classroom, Xiao Qi suddenly felt that having a wealthy class leader in his class was a wonderful thing!

Of course, Lan Xuanyu was rich and overbearing because he provided his classmates with the rare metals they needed for their One-Word Battle Armor. The academy even specially supported him. It wasn’t much, just five purple emblems. The prerequisite was that he had to provide all of the first years with first-grade Thousand Refined metals.

He had received the money, but Lan Xuanyu had taken out five Endless Life Fruits during this final exam, which was equivalent to not using this support from the academy for himself. How noble was that !

Of course, Xiao Qi didn’t know how much money Lan Xuanyu earned through his first-grade Thousand Refinements because no one knew that Lan Xuanyu’s success rate for first-grade Thousand Refinements had already reached 70%. That’s right, from a 10% success rate before he went to the Elven Planet, it had increased to 70%. If not for the fact that he had to spend most of his time on first-grade Thousand Refinements, he would have already tried Spirit Forging.

After Xiao Qi left, Lan Xuanyu said, “I don’t have anything else to say. Trust in your own strength. This is also a chance for our class to hone ourselves. It is also a good opportunity for everyone to test their own strength after training so hard this year. Actually, all of you should think about it this way. The seven of us who are taken away by the academy to take part in another final exam will definitely be in a worse state than all of you.” At this point, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

He didn’t need to be a genius to know that the academy’s decision to let the seven of them take the final exam separately was due to their importance, but at the same time, it was also to let them face even more difficult tests.

He didn’t have any objections to this, but he just hoped that he wouldn’t go to another planet. He had been forging quite well recently. Firstly, his success rate had increased, and more importantly, first-grade Thousand Refining was equivalent to directly exchanging for money! After harvesting this batch, no, helping his classmates, he should be able to earn quite a few emblems. After accumulating some during his time in the Outer Court, he probably wouldn’t have to worry about earning emblems anymore.

After giving Bing Tianliang and his team a simple explanation of how to deal with the second years, Lan Xuanyu brought his six teammates out of the classroom and headed to Xiao Qi’s office.

Xiao Qi was already waiting in the office when he heard the knock on the door.

“Teacher Xiao, will our test be very difficult?” Lan Xuanyu asked with a bitter smile.

Xiao Qi glanced at him and said, “You should know that this is a pointless question. If it wasn’t difficult, why would we have to separate you guys?”

Lan Xuanyu chuckled. “It can also be because we’re too strong and can definitely defeat the second years !”

“You’re thinking too much. Cut the crap. Your final exam this year will be quite special. You will be following the Tang Sect’s people to carry out a mission, and I’m not sure what the specific mission is. But according to the information I got from the dean, the final exam this year will be a good experience for all of you. The Tang Sect’s people will be the main force in carrying out the mission, while you guys will be assisting and observing. During this trip, all of you must first obey the orders of the Tang Sect’s seniors, and secondly, you must listen, observe, and learn more. You will definitely learn a lot from the Tang Sect’s seniors. Understand?”

Upon hearing Xiao Qi’s words, Lan Xuanyu was stunned. “It’s that simple?” He felt that the academy wouldn’t let the seven of them off so easily! Completing the mission wasn’t even their main objective, and this didn’t sound too difficult! The people sent by the Tang Sect definitely had the ability to complete the missions. Under such circumstances, no matter how well they assisted, it wouldn’t affect the completion of the mission. Wouldn’t it be very simple?

“Teacher, how will we be evaluated during the final exam?” Lan Xuanyu suddenly asked.

Xiao Qi said indifferently, “The team leader from the Tang Sect will be the judge and give you a fair evaluation.”

“Oh, then when are we leaving?” Lan Xuanyu asked again.

“Tomorrow.”
