“You are the Lorne that Zhou Jie mentioned. You bullied the people of my class three, and you’re the one who bullied me. That’s perfect. Let’s settle our grudges in the Academy’s Battle Arena today.”
He was just worried about how he could teach Lorne a lesson openly. Now that Zhou Jie had arrived, it was perfect.
“Sigh, I just want to go home. Why do you always find me?”
“Chen Kun, what do you want to do?”
Gu Bingrui was a little displeased.
She was the one who pestered Lorne to sell the Ice Carp in the first place. Now that Lorne was not targeting her, she naturally had to take care of it.
However, Chen Kun ignored her. Instead, he smiled and said, “I hope Student Bingrui will not participate in this matter. Now that the academy has started the competition of the ten academies, the thousands of students in the academy are currently participating in the auditions. There is nothing wrong with me challenging Student Lorne in the auditions.”
The so-called auditions were free challenges. After all, the academy had one to two thousand students, and there were too many of them. Therefore, the academy had specially set up a battle arena.
Usually, the battle arena was a place for students to exchange pointers. In this competition, the battle arena was naturally a place for the students to participate in the auditions.
Half of the students would be eliminated in the first round of the auditions. Then, the academy would host the next round and challenge the students to advance.
Only when the final five most outstanding students participated in the auditions in the other big academies would the real attention be focused on them.
“Oh, so this loser Zhou Jie is your underling. Since you want to stand up for Zhou Jie, then come on. I’ll see you in the battle arena.”
…
“Isn’t this Zhou Jie the rich kid that Lorne knocked out with a single punch last week?”
“What a joke. He can’t beat Zhou Jie, so he started asking others to stand up for him. What a good-for-nothing.”
Some of the people who knew Zhou Jie was beaten up last week immediately told him the whole story.
“Haha! What a turn of events.”
Chen Kun looked at Zhou Jie.
“Is that so?”
“Uh…”
Zhou Jie wanted to find a hole and hide in it. He was not as good as Zhou Jie in the first place, but now he was being brought up.
‘Trash.’
Chen Kun could only curse in his heart.
“Alright! Then I will propose a battle with you. I will only use one Dire Beast Magic Card. You can use all your Magic Cards. Let’s have a battle. If we win, this one is yours. If we lose, this Ice Carp stays.”
Chen Kun took out a pitch-black stone from his pocket that was emitting the power of resentment.
[Dark Soul Stone]
Species: Ghost
Quality: Green-rank 3-star
Applicable species: Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger, Soul Weapon, Fog Beast
Description: A special soul stone that absorbs a large amount of dark energy and is born in the land of the dead. It has a great attraction to the undead and the ghost races.
“Do you dare to come?”
“Chen Kun, you’re really shameless. You’re a peak 1-star Green-rank Magic Card Master, and you’re challenging an ordinary student. You’re really embarrassing core students like us.”
“And that thing in your hand has been in your possession for a few years now, right? There aren’t any Dire Beasts or Exotic Beasts that can use it. Even though it’s a Green-rank 3-star resource, it’s still a useless evolutionary resource. You’re really thick-skinned to want someone’s Ice Carp,” Yuan Ping mocked.
“Useless?”
When Chen Kun took out the Dark Soul Stone, Lorne already had the intention to agree. After all, it was a Green-rank 3-star evolutionary resource, and the suitable species happened to have a Saber-toothed Demonic Tiger.
Lorne had no reason to reject this evolution resource that was sent to Blackie. However, after hearing what Yuan Ping said, Lorne naturally would not agree so easily. He still needed to extort some money from him.
“What rubbish? It’s just that we haven’t found a suitable species yet.” Chen Kun obviously did not think much of it.
“Lorne, don’t agree.”
His good friend Yang Kai said from the side.
In his opinion, even if Lorne had successfully sealed a Dire Beast Magic Card in the Academy’s Mystic Realm, it would still be a piece of cake for Chen Kun.
“Hehe! Your calculations are very good. However, you want to exchange a Green-rank 3-star evolution resource for my only Ice Carp seedling. Are you stupid or am I stupid?”
“Alright, I’ll add this.”
Chen Kun took out a silver wooden stick. He was afraid that Lorne would not agree. As long as Lorne agreed to take out another evolution resource, it would not be a problem for Chen Kun.
In his opinion, these things would eventually return to his hands.
Lorne looked over and the radar system gave a notification.
[Space-pattered Wood]
Species: Space
Quality: Green-rank 4-star
Applicable species: Space Kangaroo, Kun Fish, Starfish
Description: A piece of wood left behind by the space attribute. It contains the power of the space attribute. It is an extremely rare resource.
“Space-patterned wood.”
Space-attribute materials were considered top-tier resources no matter where they were. Now that there was one in front of him, even though it was only a small piece, Lorne would not miss it.
“I didn’t expect you to have some knowledge. That’s right, this is a Green-rank 4-star Space-patterned Wood. Its value, in addition to the Dark Soul Stone, has far surpassed that of your Ice Carp. How about it, are you going to accept this battle?”
“Since you want to give me evolution resources, of course, I have no reason not to accept it.”
“Alright!”
Chen Kun had seen many arrogant people, but Lorne, an ordinary Magic Card Master, was probably a White-grade 3-star Magic Card Master. To be so arrogant in front of him, with victory in his hands, really made him very unhappy, he decided to cripple Lorne’s Dire Beast.
“If you win, the two green evolution resources will belong to you. If you lose, I’ll get to keep the Ice Carp and you have to apologize to Zhou Jie at the same time.”
“Sure.”
His good friend Yang Kai looked at Lorne with a crazy look on his face and could not help but say, “You really agreed.”
Lorne gave him a reassuring look.
“Hehe! Interesting.”
“I didn’t expect him to really agree.”
“This person is definitely not right in the head. He offended three core students the moment he came here, and now he’s even having a duel with Chen Kun. I really don’t know how to spell the word ‘death’.”
“There’s a good show to watch.”
For the surrounding students who were watching the show, Lorne and Chen Kun’s duel was definitely something they were happy to see.
“I’ll lend you my Dire Beast.”
From Gu Bingrui’s point of view, the matter was caused by her. Now that Lorne wanted to fight with Chen Kun, she had no way to stop him. She wanted to lend her Dire Beast to Lorne so that he could win the battle.
When Chen Kun heard Gu Bingrui’s words, his heart immediately skipped a beat.
If Lorne really borrowed Gu Bingrui’s Dire Beast, he was not confident that one of his Dire Beasts could win.
“No need to thank me for my kindness. I think I can handle one Dire Beast.”
Blackie could even defeat an Overlord-rank Wind Wolf. Even if Chen Kun took out a Green-rank Dire Beast, Lorne was confident that he could win against an Overlord-rank Dire Beast.
“Oh my God!”
Yang Kai looked at Lorne and was really dumbfounded. His mouth was wide open. He never thought that Lorne would actually refuse.
“Are you really the Lorne that I know?”
Yang Kai had a feeling that Lorne had changed so much that he could not recognize him.
He was especially flamboyant and confident..
