Chapter 262: Chapter 262 - 262 Cheng Xin’s Smoke Bomb (II)

262 Cheng Xin’s Smoke Bomb (II)

Some of the more rational people asked,

“Eh?”

“The headboard of the school aren’t idiots, right?”

“Could this Lin Ye guy be really powerful?”

“They gave him special privileges, just like that?”

“No way!” A certain someone replied.

“If this Lin Ye guy is a super genius, the teachers at school would’ve known about it long ago and would’ve told us about him!”

“But have you ever heard about this guy four months ago?”

“No, I didn’t!”

“This guy appeared out of thin air and then mysteriously entered our school. Now, he’s even ‘cutting in line’ to participate in the University Tournament!”

“I don’t believe that a super genius would be unknown!”

“That’s right!” Another person echoed.

“Last night, someone even went to test his strength.”

“They said he was very ordinary.”

“He’s probably just someone who entered our university through the backdoor.”

“Really?” Someone asked.

“Who did you hear that from?”

“Why did two of my friends say that Lin Ye guy is very strong?”

“I don’t know,” The man replied.

“An anonymous post appeared on the forum last night.”

“But I think it should be true.”

“It’s not a smoke bomb.”

“Because just last night, there was indeed a brother who saw a battle in the woods outside the dormitory while enjoying the breeze on the balcony. However, his vision was blocked by a barrier item, and the surrounding environment was still very dark, so he couldn’t see the exact battle.”

Another person beside him interrupted, “Aiya, you guys stop arguing. Whether this guy is a mule or a horse, we’ll know once we see him.”

“I’m telling you!”

“After that anonymous post came out yesterday, the third-ranked freshman in our school, Brother Chu Meng, said that he’d suppress that special enrollment student’s arrogance.”

“Today, he won that spot to go up against the new kid.”

“F*ck!” The people around them immediately reacted.

“I wouldn’t have noticed if you didn’t mention it!”

“Isn’t number 35 is Chu Meng’s number?”

“Hahaha, awesome. An airborne special enrollment student beat one of our school’s top three students. It looks like this match is going to be interesting!”

“Sh*t!”

“In that case, I needed to prepare my heart!”

“Although Lin Ye didn’t participate in the previous matches, he’s still going up against a monster-level genius like Chu Meng. He is no better than any of us!”

“This match is going to show us his true colors.”

“Indeed,”

“He’s about to lose all my face in public.”

“I hope he will be fine after this. Haha~”

Meanwhile, Cheng Xin’s teammates were sitting in the corner of the audience, eating the snacks in their hands and complaining,”

“F*ck!”

“It’s really amazing!”

“I didn’t think that Chu Meng would really take the bait!”

“I’m impressed. It’s such an obvious smokescreen, but he believed it. He even went to apply for the first battle with Lin Ye…”

Hearing this, Cheng Xin leaned back in his chair, “What a shame!”

“I originally wanted to mess with those people from the ‘Lionheart Society’!”

“In order for their leader to be eliminated by Lin Ye today, I even planned to expose the identity of the spy planted in their team… Kept tempting them to fight for this opportunity to be famous and apply to be the first to fight Lin Ye… I didn’t expect that Chu Meng would be able to snatch that spot away.”

He sighed,

“Forget it. At least we’ve eliminated a strong opponent. We can last until the last few rounds and get more competition rewards!”

“It’s not a loss.”

The people around them couldn’t help but sigh,”

“Yikes!”

“Brother Cheng, you’re so bad!”

“Deliberately using a smoke bomb to lure the leader of the Lionheart to his death?”

Cheng Xin shrugged.

“Who wouldn’t!?”

“Who told that guy to act rascally and disgust us?”

“I want to kill him!”

“However, now that Chu Meng has stolen the show, I can only wait until the last few rounds. After I defeat all the other students, I will personally kill that Lionheart guy myself.”

“…”

The tournament battle mechanism was very special. It was not up to the school to randomly assign a battle target, but it was in the form of every student taking the initiative to apply to select the opponent they wanted to challenge.

Find a simpler opponent and use the “big fish eating small fish” idea to reduce the number of opponents as much as possible and survive to the end.

In reality, where nobody could see the system notifications, it was an extremely high-end strategy.

If they decided not to choose an opponent, or if they were considered as weak by others, causing a large number of people to come to challenge them and then be quickly eliminated… This means that you’re not capable enough.

A true expert could not only judge other people’s skill mechanism and true strength from the clues but also take the initiative to show their strength without exposing their trump cards. This way, they could deter others from challenging them.

That’s right.

This competition rules…

Trained students’ observation and disguise skills, which were the deciding factor for the whole tournament.

Or, they could also find another way and deliberately pretend to be weak to deceive people and kill them.

However, there were few such people.

Most of them were violent young men who liked to fence with others.

Cheng Xin’s strategy was to take advantage of Lin Ye’s strength and create a smokescreen to trick the Lionheart Society, which had a conflict with them, to challenge Lin Ye. Then, they would be eliminated by the invincible Lin Ye and lose the right to continue the tournament.

But now, Chu Meng had taken away their target’s right to challenge Lin Ye, and Lin Ye couldn’t kill the leader of the Lionheart Society. Cheng Xin wasn’t confident that he could defeat Lin Ye either.

Just to be safe.

Cheng Xin could only choose the weaker opponents first. After killing them all and trying his best to keep the rewards for the top ranks, he would go and fight the other party to death.

For the same reason,

Even the Lionheart Society’s Captain couldn’t figure out Cheng Xin’s strength.

He didn’t dare to challenge Cheng Xin.

What if they accidentally flipped over?

If he could have the chance to survive to the last ten students and receive a cash reward of 500,000 Yuan, but due to his curiosity decided to challenge ChengXin and could only persist to the 500th place, which would give him a cash reward of 50,000 Yuan instead…. Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?

Back to the main topic.

After Lin Ye walked onto the dueling ground, contestant 35, Chu Meng, also walked up.

He was wearing a white t-shirt and black shorts and had a crew cut. He was not tall, 170 cm, and his looks were average. He was the kind of person who would not be found on the street.

On the other hand, Lin Ye…

With a flowing hairstyle, a handsome face, a tall figure, and a clean and low-key outfit, he was simply a Prince Charming among Prince Charming.

In an instant–

Some of the girls who were originally unhappy with Lin Ye’s “sudden arrival” suddenly changed their offense and stared at him with infatuation, showing a completely different fanatical state from before.

“Ah!”

“He’s so handsome!”

“I don’t think he’s an idiot who doesn’t know anything!”

“That anonymous post is definitely slander!”

“He’s not an ordinary person!”

“I would like to invite you to my bedroom to take a look at a historical relic. It’s a pen held by Cao Cao!”

“Your little sister is crying, and your little sister’s toy can’t be coaxed. Your little brother has to do it!”

“I used to have a puppy called little Xue. Little Xue died. My little Xue died!”

“My stomach was hurting today, so I was rubbing it. But after seeing you, my hand went down to rub it!”

“My face has been a little dry recently. Can you spray me with some mist?”

“Don’t be fooled by his appearance. He’s actually a delivery man. He delivered the food I ordered earlier, but he’s late.”

“Don’t be fooled by his fierce appearance. He’s actually a very good person. He gave me all his dedication during the new year gathering.”

“Avoid the lightning? This person has no manners. When I was buying milk tea, I didn’t let him stand in front of me, so he stood behind me.”

“???”

“What the hell is this?”

“Tsk, women are so superficial. Do they only look at appearances? ”

*Sob*Sob*

“Alright, I’ll lay my cards on the table and stop acting. I didn’t know that girls can be so proactive when they see handsome men. They can also talk so flirtatiously…”

At that very moment, Chu Meng walked in front of Lin Ye. He was about five meters away from Lin Ye.

“Lin Ye, let me introduce myself. I’m Chu Meng, an Archer.” Chu Meng introduced himself. His tone was gold.

“I hate people who get in through the back door the most, especially those who don’t have the ability but still get in through the special treatment.”

Lin Ye was quiet.

“You’re really direct, aren’t you?”

“Alright,”

“Then let’s start!”

“I’ll use my actions to tell you the answer to this question!”

Equipment… Materialization!

‘Hidden Moon blade, Ancient Dragon Necklace, Rebirth Belt, Flame Shoes… All of you, materialize!’
