Chapter 477 – Ten Thousand Year Lava Fruit
TL : GoldenLung
“Alright, I believe in your choice. I’m also looking forward to joining the battle. The only good news I can tell you is that the fourth years will not have any Two-Word Battle Armor Masters because they have to go through these tough missions.” Tang Yuge seemed to be influenced by Lan Xuanyu’s confidence and her mood became much better.
Lan Xuanyu smiled and said, “Thank you, senior sister. This is great. We will do our best.”
Tang Yuge said, “Alright, I’ll get ready in these few days.”
After hanging up, Lan Xuanyu had already thought of some plans in his heart. Fighting willpower ? In this aspect, he definitely had to plan more carefully.
If he wanted to defeat the other party at the smallest price, he needed to plan more.
After thinking about it carefully, he walked back to the center.
Lan Xuanyu then realized that there seemed to be a small change in the odds. The odds on their side had increased to 1:2.21, which meant that the odds on the other side had decreased. Although it was still 1:0.5, their odds decreasing was still inevitable, which meant that there were more people betting on the fourth years.
Were the fourth years really that strong?
“You’re here again? Still betting on yourself? As a partic.i.p.ant, for the sake of fairness, you can’t bet on the other party.” When the teacher at the Gambling Center saw Lan Xuanyu, his expression didn’t look good, he was unable not to do that. This brat had won so many emblems from them!
Lan Xuanyu coughed. “I’ll take a look and think about it. I won’t bet for the time being.” With that said, he turned and left the Gambling Center.
Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to bet anymore, but that he didn’t want to now. The odds were clearly increasing, why not wait until the last moment?
He returned to his dorm and cultivated.
The next day was the rest day of the compet.i.tion, but there were cla.s.ses to attend.
The moment Lan Xuanyu entered the cla.s.sroom, he was surrounded by his cla.s.smates.
“Cla.s.s leader, n.o.body is optimistic about us! I don’t know why, but everyone keeps saying that we can’t beat the fourth years.”
“Cla.s.s leader, have you seen the odds at the Gamlbing Center? This situation this time doesn’t seem to look too good for us !”
Lan Xuanyu raised his hand. “Everyone, listen to me, please listen to me.”
The students quietened down.
Lan Xuanyu said, “I’ve already done some investigations regarding the fourth years. Indeed, the opponents we will be facing are much stronger than before. But I have confidence in this match. The first years will definitely win!”
When he shouted out the word ‘win’, the eyes of his cla.s.smates lit up. Even his teammates heaved a sigh of relief.
Their trust in him came from his past results. Just like what Tang Zhenhua said, Lan Xuanyu might need a failure to adjust because he had never truly failed before. But it was also for this reason that all students would subconsciously trust his words.
“Everyone, let’s go to cla.s.s first. After cla.s.s, we will discuss our final strategy for tomorrow’s battle.”
The students returned to their seats. At this moment, Xiao Qi was already there. As the main teacher, he watched from the sidelines and could clearly feel that Lan Xuanyu’s position in the hearts of his cla.s.smates continued to increase with each victory. He couldn’t help but feel emotional about this. This kid was really amazing! He didn’t rely on his individual strength, but his charisma. If he could also become the top student in terms of fighting strength, he would then become the undisputed leader of the first years.
Lan Xuanyu didn’t really pay attention to cla.s.s for the entire morning. Laid on his desk and was continuously writing on a white paper.
After the bell rang, Lan Xuanyu immediately stood up and said, “People from my team stay behind, let’s discuss our countermeasures. For the sake of tactical secrecy, the other students shouldn’t listen in. Thank you, everyone.”
Bing Tianliang immediately came over. “Including us?”
Lan Xuanyu said, “This round won’t include you guys.”
Bing Tian was slightly disappointed. “So I won’t be partic.i.p.ating ! Although I didn’t perform well in the previous round, I can do better.”
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “You performed quite well in the previous match, but we have to arrange different people to fight against different opponents. We have to match our tactics. So, we really don’t need you for this round.”
“Alright then. I’ll cheer for you guys later.” Bing Tianliang left with Yutian and Lin Donghui in disappointment.
Lan Xuanyu suddenly called out, “Ding Zhuohan, stay here.”
Ding Zhuohan, who was about to reach the door, was stunned. He turned to Lan Xuanyu and pointed at his nose. “Me?”
“Yes, you.” Lan Xuanyu smiled.
Ding Zhuohan’s eyes lit up. It went without saying what it meant for him to stay! He immediately ran over and chuckled. “Cla.s.s leader, please instruct me.”
The rest of Lan Xuanyu’s team had already surrounded them. Lan Xuanyu said in a low voice, “The battle tomorrow will definitely be very difficult, so I will make the arrangements as follows.” As he spoke, he began to lay out his tactics for tomorrow.
Hearing his arrangements, everyone’s faces gradually revealed surprise.
“No way, Boss. Is this really okay?” Qian Lei couldn’t help but ask.
Lan Xuanyu said, “This is the most suitable tactic. It doesn’t mean that the stronger the partic.i.p.ant is, the better the effect. I thought about it carefully and calculated it during meditation last night. This is the only way we have the highest chance of winning while minimizing our losses.”
Everyone looked at each other in dismay but nodded in the end.
Ding Zhuohan waved his fist. “Cla.s.s leader, let’s not talk about anything else. Just for your trust in me, I will go all out.”
“Fight !” Lan Xuanyu smiled and extended his right hand. “The first years will definitely win!”
The others placed their palms on the back of his hand and shouted.
Ding Zhuohan left first and he rushed back to prepare. Lan Xuanyu said to his teammates, “Everyone, gather at my dorm at 3 pm. I have something to tell you.”
“Boss, what is it? Can you give us a little hint now ?” Qian Lei asked curiously.
Lan Xuanyu laughed. “If I tell you now, how is it still a secret? Anyway, it’s a good thing. Let’s go, we’ll go back to rest and eat first.”
He didn’t arrange anything for himself this afternoon because he had more important things to do.
When everyone arrived at Lan Xuanyu’s dormitory at three in the afternoon, they saw exquisite boxes on the table in the living room.
Some boxes were made of wood, some were made of metal, and there were even some that looked like jade.
When everyone was present, Lan Xuanyu got his teammates to sit around the table. “These are gifts I prepared for all of you. They are all specially picked for each of you. Come one by one.”
As he spoke, he picked up a metal box and handed it to Qian Lei. “This is for you. A ten thousand-year Lava Fruit. Although it has a fire attribute, it is the one with the densest life energy among all of the Heaven and Earth treasures. After consuming it, there is a high chance that it will stimulate your and Fatty Jin’s bloodline. Once used, it will definitely increase both of your combat power by a large margin and even allow you to gain an ability that allows you to become stronger the more you fight. This means that this fruit is most suitable for use in battle. The stronger the enemy, the more effective it will be. You can keep this and use it when you are faced with a strong enemy. There are no side effects, and the potential you can stimulate in battle will benefit you and Fatty Jin in the end.”
“Fatty Jin’s condition is very unique. He will absorb life energy and grow continuously, and his growth speed is very fast. This means that his bloodline is extremely strong. I hope that under the stimulation of this ten thousand-year Lava Fruit, his bloodline will be one step closer to awakening.”
