Everyone initially thought that Chen Li was just a soft target, easily manipulated, but now they realized he was actually a tough nut to crack!
Now, with no way out, the enrolled students had already signed contracts. Even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to step onto the stage.
Chen Li smiled as he watched the betting amounts on the screen gradually increase, having already grown by three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Coins. His heart was filled with joy. Four hundred, five hundred, one thousand eight hundred—this group of guys was surprisingly willing to spend money.
Chen Li looked at the names of the challengers and their bets flashing on the screen, feeling quite pleased. If he could earn another three hundred Spirit Coins, he would be able to buy Dragon Muscle Refinement. Chen Li calculated in his mind.
Currently, both he and Yue'er were experiencing slow growth. The reason for this was their lack of funds. Although they each had their own Golden Finger, being poor meant that even the system couldn't help them much. Moreover, Yue'er kept insisting she was the reincarnation of the Celestial Empress. However, in this new life, she only had the memories of the Empress but lacked her power and resources.
To make matters worse, even her mother and grandfather's family had mysteriously disappeared, leaving them without any support. Yet they had repeatedly unlocked their Flesh's capacity limits, resulting in some hidden injuries to their Flesh. Dragon Muscle Refinement was a method that could refine Flesh and heal its hidden injuries—a Third-Grade Medicine that was exactly what he and Shen Qingyue needed right now.
"Chen Li, don't get too cocky!" Just then, a cold voice filled with anger exploded in the air.
Chen Li looked up to see Ling Frost standing up at some point, her face pale with fury as she glared at him with eyes full of rage.
What’s wrong? Does Senior Sister want to go another round? Chen Li smirked slightly, a teasing glint flashing in his eyes.
Ling Frost trembled with anger but found herself unable to vent her frustration. In the end, she could only throw down a harsh remark: "We'll settle this score when we receive our rewards in the future!"
With that, Ling Frost strode through the crowd and left. She couldn't bear to stay any longer after such humiliation—what a mess!
Not far away, Zhao Qianhu watched this scene unfold; his previously angry and resentful mood seemed to shift for a moment.
"Calm down," he muttered to himself.
Chen Li raised his hand and cheerfully called out to Ling Frost: "Farewell, Senior Sister!"
Afterward, he scanned the eager students around him and declared loudly: "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? Come at me all at once! I, Chen Li, am ready!"
His words immediately stirred up a commotion among the crowd. Everyone looked at him with fiery eyes.
Everyone present at the Imperial Academy were the pride of the empire, each one a remarkable individual. Although Chen Li's earlier performance had shocked and intimidated them, it did not mean they were truly afraid of him. After all, from a practical standpoint, if they could minimize their losses in time, they would.
But what did Chen Li mean by his words? It was a blatant provocation! Could they really be scared off?
As Chen Li looked at the crowd with their fierce, wolf-like gazes, the smile in his eyes grew even more pronounced. He couldn't let them fly away; he needed to stoke the flames a bit more. His words acted like a fuse, instantly igniting the entire Training Ground.
Had this kid lost his mind? Challenging everyone single-handedly? Who did he think he was? Even the instructors at the Imperial Academy wouldn't dare to boast like that! It seemed he had won a few matches and forgotten his own name—so arrogant!
Damn, this kid was too cocky! I can't take it anymore; I need to teach him a lesson!
Chen Li's words thoroughly enraged the students present, especially those who already harbored resentment towards him. They could hardly contain their desire to rush forward and tear him apart.
At that moment, several figures surged out from the crowd and leaped onto the training platform. Each of them wore grim expressions, their eyes bloodshot with fury as they fixed their gaze on Chen Li.
Kid, if I don't make you kneel and beg for mercy today, I won't be called Wang!
They surrounded Chen Li with an overwhelming presence, each one pushing their Vital Energy to its limits. However, as they sensed each other's presence, they began to exchange glances filled with awkwardness. After all, was it really appropriate for one person to take on so many?
Just as one of them was about to speak up, he was abruptly interrupted by another burly student. The other five shared similar thoughts; they exchanged looks and prepared to quietly step down from the platform.
At that moment, however, Chen Li's voice rang out again, tinged with urgency.
"Brothers, don’t rush off just yet!"
As soon as he said this, the five who were about to retreat halted in their tracks and looked at him in confusion.
Chen Li's mouth seemed to have been poisoned as he continued earnestly, "To save everyone some time, why not all come at me together?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding students watching the spectacle erupted into laughter.
"Haha, this kid is really something!"
"Isn't that right? He actually thinks he can take us all on by himself!"
"How ridiculous!"
Hearing the mocking voices around them, the five felt their faces flush with embarrassment and anger.
"Kid! You're really pushing it! Do you think we're afraid of you?!"
In their shame and fury, the five completely lost their reason. With a roar, they charged toward Chen Li together.
They couldn't believe it; the five of them, plus the burly Wang Chong, couldn't handle just one Chen Li?!
As they all attacked at once, fists flew and legs kicked, creating a whirlwind of force aimed straight at Chen Li.
But facing the onslaught, Chen Li showed no signs of panic; instead, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Come on!" he shouted softly, his figure flickering like a ghost as he dodged their attacks in an instant.
What?!
The group was taken aback, and before they could react, they saw Chen Li's figure had already appeared among them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of dull thuds echoed as they barely registered how Chen Li had struck before feeling as if their chests had been smashed by a giant hammer.
With a gasp, they all spat out blood and flew backward like kites with severed strings.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
They crashed onto the training platform, cracking the hard stone slabs beneath them.
The arena fell into silence!
Everyone stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, unable to believe what they were witnessing.
One move!
Another move!
These formidable students had all been defeated by Chen Li?
This couldn't be real, could it?
