Chapter 476 – We Must Win No Matter The Cost

Tang Zhenhua looked at him deeply and said, “Kid, you have to have a stable state of mind, understand? Actually, I feel that you should experience failure now. Everything is going a bit too smoothly for you.”

From the first day since he came to the academy, he was first place among the first years. After that, he defeated the third years and became the uncontested number one among the first years. Furthermore, he was winning consecutively in this tournament. It had only been more than a semester and less than a year had pa.s.sed. Lan Xuanyu’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and everything seemed to be going too smoothly. Especially after seeing Lan Xuanyu spend so many emblems today, Tang Zhenhua’s heart ached! He felt that there was something wrong with this kid’s att.i.tude.

Lan Xuanyu grinned. “Teacher, is it really good for you to curse your own student like this? Furthermore, if the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come ! It is through spending so many emblems that your student will benefit even more in the future.”

He was very satisfied with the one hundred thousand-year Purple Immortal Spirit Ganoderma. He decided to go to Sea G.o.d Lake tomorrow night to cultivate and acc.u.mulate more life energy. However, he was not in a rush to consume the Purple Immortal Spirit Ganoderma. He would eat it when he would try to break through to the four-ring. It would definitely be much easier to break through that bottleneck.

This was an increase in potential, and it shouldn’t be like what Teacher Nana said about borrowing the power of a Divine Weapon to forcibly make a breakthrough. If he couldn’t use the Heavenly Sacred Splitting Abyss Halberd to a.s.sist in his breakthrough, there shouldn’t be a problem with using Heaven and Earth treasures, right?

Lan Xuanyu was excited at the thought that breaking through to the four-ring wouldn’t be a problem.

Tang Zhenhua scoffed. “Prepare your mecha for actual combat. After the tournament ends, your course will begin. I will personally teach you so that you can fully experience the mysteries of the world of mechas”

“Uh…” Lan Xuanyu said awkwardly, “Teacher, you didn’t mean this when you mentioned failure, right?”

Tang Zhenhua shook his head and said, “No, it’s not. Mecha cla.s.s will only make you doubt your life at most. I want to see what you’ll look like when your spirit collapses.”

“…”

After Tang Zhenhua left, Lan Xuanyu felt that his spirit was about to collapse. ‘What is Teacher trying to do? And is he really my teacher?’

It looked as though he wouldn’t be happy if he wasn’t torturing him ! How miserable.

However, he had to admit that a severe master produced brilliant disciples. At least in terms of s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+p piloting, he felt that he had improved greatly. After more than a semester, he was certain that if he were to encounter the same situation as with the s.p.a.ce pirates back then, he would be able to handle it with ease and wouldn’t be in danger.

After calming himself down, Lan Xuanyu returned to the Gambling Center. Yes, he was back.

Just as he expected, when he walked into the center, he immediately saw that the odds for the next round were out.

First years, 1: 2.2. Fourth years, 1: 1.5.

‘The odds are so different?’ Seeing this, Lan Xuanyu’s heart tightened. Odds and strength were closely related. This was the first time their odds had exceeded one!

And the compensation rate for the fourth years was only 1: 1.5. This meant that after a thorough investigation, the Gambling Center really didn’t think highly of them.

Even in the previous round, their odds were slightly higher than the third years. This proved that the Gambling Center was more optimistic about them. But this round was so different. Was the difference between the fourth and third years really that great?

With that thought, Lan Xuanyu hesitated.

Right at this moment, the soul communication device on his wrist suddenly rang.

Lan Xuanyu picked up the call and a faint smile appeared on his face. This was the person he wanted to contact the most.

“Senior Yuge.” Lan Xuanyu picked up the call and walked out of the Gambling Center to a corner outside.

“En, congratulations.” Tang Yuge’s voice was clearly a little lonely.

“Thank you. But I have to ask, are you going back on your word?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

Tang Yuge replied, “No. I’ve already submitted my application after he lost. I believe that it will be approved soon. After all, I’m no longer suited to continue studying among the third years. Everyone will ostracize me under his leaders.h.i.+p and it will affect me. I believe the academy will understand this. To be honest, seeing you guys winning against him, although I feel sad for the third years, I still feel quite happy. Thank you.”

Lan Xuanyu sighed softly. “I would rather have you as our opponent. Actually, all our preparations were against you, but I didn’t expect…”

Tang Yuge said, “You should have seen it for yourself. His ability has improved recently, allowing his strength to soar and gaining the support of more people. Even the teachers think highly of him when it comes to potential. But I have to tell you that if all of you are only at the level you displayed today, you guys won’t be able to defeat me.”

“En, I know. If it was you, I would have made different arrangements. I can’t say that I would definitely win, but the chances aren’t small either,” Lan Xuanyu said.

Tang Yuge said, “You guys will be facing the fourth years next, do you need me to go up?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “Do you think we need it? I planned to let you fight against the fifth years as our secret weapon. This way, we will stand a chance to fight against them.”

Tang Yuge said, “Don’t underestimate the fourth years.”

Lan Xuanyu asked curiously, “I’ve already heard a few people say that. Can you tell me why everyone thinks so highly of the fourth years so much and even said that the fourth year is a watershed as compared to the third year ?”

Tang Yuge said indifferently, “In our Douluo Continent, 16 years old means adulthood. It also means that you can decide everything on your own. Fourth year is the age of 16. Starting from the fourth year, you will have to accept some mandatory missions a.s.signed by the academy. You must complete them, otherwise, you won’t be able to graduate or even validate the year. And these missions are quite dangerous.”

“More than half of the fourth year’s curriculum has pa.s.sed now, and they have already carried out dangerous missions at least two to three times. Those who have gone through such missions will have a great increase in their willpower, just like what we did in the final exam. The missions that the fourth years have faced can only be more dangerous than that. During our final exam, I am sure that there were teachers protecting us in the dark. But there is no such treatment when carrying out missions for the academy.”

“So, the tempering that they have gone through is something that we have yet to experience. After a year of tempering, the fourth years will become different. This is a so-called transformation. So, all of you will have to face the strongest fourth years that had undergone tempering. His fighting spirit and desire to fight will be very different. So, do you really not need me to take action?”

Without a doubt, if Tang Yuge were to make a move, Lan Xuanyu felt that they would definitely win. After all, Tang Yuge was now a six-ring soul master and a One-Word Battle Armor Master. Her combat strength was extremely strong and it would not be a problem for her to take on the opponent head on. With her, there was a high chance of winning.

However, if Tang Yuge were to appear now, there wouldn’t be any “surprise” when they reach the fight against the fifth years.

Lan Xuanyu was the one who had proposed to challenge the other years. He was the one who wanted to lead his cla.s.smates to the Elven Planet. If it was just the fourth years, he would have no problem letting Tang Yuge fighting, but he really wanted to go further!

“There’s no need. I think we can do it. We’ve already sacrificed a lot for this victory.” Lan Xuanyu made up his mind. Ignoring everything else, he had spent 72 purple emblems ! In the entire Outer Court, there probably wasn’t anyone else with such a large amount of money. He had to win even if he had to smash emblems! Other than his Purple Immortal Ganoderma, the other items were for increasing his combat power for a short period of time.
