Chapter 1574: Chapter 1576: The Spectacular Life of a Fool?!

The division between the Literature College and the Martial Arts Academy has officially concluded.

The Martial Arts Academy doesn’t have many people, you could even say it’s a bit small, with only sixty-two individuals.

And among these sixty-two people are the twelve from the original Violent Martial Class, as well as Lin Lei, Wu Shaopu, Jiang Longjun, and Wu Kai from Linren City.

This means that truly, only thirty-six people were selected for the Martial Arts Academy from this round, which is a very small proportion.

However, the director’s face was filled with a sigh.

Yes, there are few people in the Martial Arts Academy, but they are the elites among the group. Perhaps they don’t have outstanding talent, but their willingness to fight signifies their future potential won’t be ordinary either.

However, fortunately, the three great demons remained in the Literature College.

After all, demons repel each other naturally.

Being classmates is fine, but being under Lu Xiaobu,—that’s a humiliation they couldn’t bear.

Just when everyone thought this somewhat absurd matter was over.

A person stepped forward.

"Lu Xiaobu, I challenge you!"

Li Zhilai stepped forward, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit as he looked at Lu Xiaobu.

"Oh?" Lu Xiaobu raised an eyebrow.

"The previous competition was the school’s affair; you’re the school’s head, so I didn’t interfere. But now that the branch selection is over, I want to challenge you!" Li Zhilai said, looking at Lu Xiaobu.

He’d been holding onto this urge for a while!

Of course, speaking of a while, it was actually just since yesterday.

Who knew Lu Xiaobu would be so quick!

He had a feeling that today was his last chance to challenge; if he didn’t today, he might not have a chance tomorrow.

"What’s in it for me?"

Lu Xiaobu looked at Li Zhilai. He wasn’t against the idea, but it depended on the benefits!

"If you win, I’ll give you a hundred Spirit Stones!" Li Zhilai declared.

Upon hearing this, the crowd gasped in astonishment.

A hundred Spirit Stones!

That’s a wealth they couldn’t accumulate in years!

How astonishing!

However.

"Too little." Lu Xiaobu shook his head, "I collect more from a protection fee!"

Hearing this, everyone present turned green in the face!

Damn! That’s our money!

Is it really okay for you to say that so confidently?!

"Then what do you want?!" Li Zhilai focused his gaze on Lu Xiaobu.

"If I win, you come to the Martial Arts Academy." Lu Xiaobu said blandly.

At this, Li Zhilai fell into contemplation.

Join the Martial Arts Academy!? Become Lu Xiaobu’s subordinate?!

Don’t mention any nonsense about the dean, everyone knows the so-called Martial Arts Academy is just Lu Xiaobu’s little organization!

He’s the one in charge!

After a long silence.

"Alright! I agree!" Li Zhilai nodded.

He believed he wouldn’t lose!

Yesterday, he hadn’t even tried his full strength against Jiang Tai.

Now.

He’s going to give it his all.

"Alright, wait for me, I’m going to the bathroom." Lu Xiaobu shrugged and smiled. It seems today he’s going to gain a demon.

Lu Xiaobu returned to his room.

He took out the Spirit Stones he had tucked under his bed.

A total of two hundred and eight pieces.

He began absorbing them.

One piece! Two pieces!

Ten pieces! Twenty pieces!

Fifty pieces! A hundred pieces!

One by one, the Spirit Stones were absorbed dry by him.

At the same time, his aura continued to fluctuate.

Qi Cultivation Third Layer, Qi Cultivation Third Layer +1, Qi Cultivation Third Layer +2, Qi Cultivation Third Layer +3, Qi Cultivation Third Layer +4!

Qi Cultivation Third Layer breakthrough completed.

Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer +1, Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer +2...

His aura was rapidly increasing.

Until only two Spirit Stones were left.

Lu Xiaobu’s aura had reached Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer +4!

In other words, his next step would be Foundation Establishment!

However, he couldn’t reach Foundation Establishment.

A very strange feeling, he felt like something was missing, and trying the methods in books wasn’t helping.

The books explained Foundation Establishment.

What is Foundation Establishment?

Foundation Establishment is laying the groundwork, you need to establish a foundation that suits you.

Simply put, you need to transform the gaseous energy in your Dantian into something tangible, to solidify it.

But what is most suitable?

No one knows.

This is what is called an epiphany.

"Forget it, Ninth Layer it is, it should be enough." Lu Xiaobu nodded.

He held the last two Spirit Stones as snacks while absorbing them, and walked out.

Meanwhile, those at the square were growing impatient.

"What is Lu Xiaobu doing?!"

"Could he have run away?!"

"Quite possible! Li Zhilai is a demon after all! If he thinks he will lose, maybe he just took off!"

"Hahaha, do you think he might say he twisted his ankle in the bathroom and can’t fight?!"

"..."

The people from the Literature College with grievances against Lu Xiaobu began using this opportunity to concoct wild stories about him.

Yet, in their hearts, they knew it was almost impossible for someone like Lu Xiaobu to avoid a fight.

They were just having a bit of verbal indulgence.

And even though they enjoyed it verbally, they didn’t dare speak too loudly, fearing the Martial Arts Academy students would hear them and come for them!

Li Zhilai ignored all this, leaning against the arena, constantly adjusting his state to reach his mental and physical peak.

And then, Lu Xiaobu returned.

Suddenly, there was silence.

"Get on the stage."

Lu Xiaobu said, smiling as he walked over to the arena.

"Alright!"

Li Zhilai opened his eyes and leapt up to the stage.

He had reached his peak.

Both his mind and body were at the summit!

Then.

His peak state shattered!

"You’re at Qi Cultivation Perfection?!" Li Zhilai nearly jumped.

What the hell?!

Wasn’t he just at Qi Cultivation Second Layer earlier?!

How did he reach Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer in such a short time?

"Is it that strange?" Lu Xiaobu replied with a smile.

Li Zhilai: "..."

He wanted to curse!

If that isn’t strange, what is?!

Do you think cultivation is like eating?!

Even eating takes time to get full, to reach a limit, right?!

And yet, in the blink of an eye, you’ve done it?!

The crowd below also had twitching mouths, their faces filled with terror!

Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer?!

Just with that bit of cultivation?!

This is too much!

Some at Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer thought of their years of hard cultivation and listened to Lu Xiaobu say is it strange?

They almost wanted to hit their heads against the ground!

It’s really infuriating!

If this isn’t strange, then what are we?!

Fools of their own splendid lives?!

The Violent Martial Class members also had twitching mouths!

Alright! They’re almost used to it!

Yeah, really almost used to it!

Really! Really! Truly!

If not, they’d cry in front of you!

Honestly, going out and bragging about this, nobody would believe it!

"Huff! Huff!"

Li Zhilai took two deep breaths, suppressing the tumultuous emotions within, then looked at Lu Xiaobu, "Come! Fight!"

In an instant, Li Zhilai’s aura turned ghostly!

Indeed, he opened his Spirit Root right from the start!

He was going all out!
