BXBX NOVEL Chapter 256 - 192 New Alien Battlefield? Illegitimate Child?
A hot wave rolled over, and Zhang Meiyu’s figure burst out of it.
Her claws were incredibly sharp, her pupils seemed to burst into flames as she rushed towards Yao Zhixue recklessly.
“Yao Zhixue… I will kill you!!!”
“Stop!”
The teacher guarding the array shouted in anger, but Zhang Meiyu acted as though she hadn’t heard, continuing her attack on Yao Zhixue.
Yet, Yao Zhixue didn’t make a single move, just stood there watching her coldly.
“Buzz…”
The next moment, a buzzing sound emerged from the array protecting the stage.
A light curtain descended from the sky, completely enveloping Zhang Meiyu.
No matter how she tried to break out, she could not breach the light curtain.
The teacher in charge of the protection array!
At that moment, he held an array disk, controlling the entire array.
“Zhang Meiyu! You have lost consciousness and have been inactive for more than ten seconds. According to the rules of the ring, Yao Zhixue is the winner of this competition!”
“Stop behaving recklessly, otherwise, I won’t hesitate to deduct your points!”
In Beijing National Higher Vocational University, to better manage students, the school has a credit system.
Any student who wants to advance or graduate must earn enough credits.
Otherwise, their advancement and graduation will be delayed.
Upon hearing the teacher’s words, Zhang Meiyu, who had been continuously attacking the barrier, gradually calmed down, but the killing intent in her eyes remained strong.
“What is Zhang Meiyu doing? Playing dirty?”
“The Zhang family of Black Dragon City can’t accept defeat~”
“Holy shit! It looks like she’s transformed, she’s covered in black scales, it’s disgusting…”
Whispers echoed around the stage, and Zhang Meiyu quickly turned around and glared furiously in the direction of the voices.
A few boys in that direction immediately shut their mouths, looking up as if they had said nothing.
“Good, very good… Hahaha…”
Zhang Meiyu suddenly started laughing, her gaze fixed on Yao Zhixue, she gnashed her teeth, “You’re quite something, Yao Zhixue. I hope you will attend the secret realm assessment in a month’s time.”
“I’ll be waiting for you!”
Abruptly, she turned and started walking away.
However, after taking a few steps, she stopped.
“Sir, may I leave now?”
The teacher furrowed his brows but touched a spot on the array disk and the array trapping her immediately disappeared.
Zhang Meiyu quickened her pace and jumped off the stage.
Several boys tentatively stepped forward, and the clear sound of a slap rang out.
“Damn it! Useless! All of you!”
“Go to hell!”
On the other side, Yao Zhixue descended from the stage, and Zheng Cheng quickly went over.
“How are you, you’re not hurt, right?”
“No.”
Yao Zhixue shook her head, “She couldn’t hurt me.”
“That’s good.”
“Speaking of which, does what you said earlier count?”
“What?”
“That I’m your woman.”
“Err…” Zheng Cheng hesitated, “Do you think it counts?”
“Not…for now.”
“What do you mean by that ‘not for now’?” Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched, “Are you worried about Song Chaoyu?”
Yao Zhixue shook her head, “You know.”
“I know?” Zheng Cheng’s eyes flashed, “The Alien Battlefield?”
“Yes.”
Yao Zhixue nodded, “We’ll talk about it later…”
“Brother Cheng! Zhixue!”
Chickie also ran over, “Awesome! You’re so cool!”
“You have no idea how cool you are, Yao Zhixue! Zhang Meiyu didn’t stand a chance…”
Zhao Zhemei also approached, “Congratulations, Yao Zhixue. By defeating Zhang Meiyu this time, your evaluation by the school will be even higher.”
“In the upcoming battle for the top ten emerging dragon positions, you will have a great advantage!”
Yao Zhixue wondered, “Why is that?”
“Let’s talk as we walk.”
Bearing in mind the increasing crowd, Zheng Cheng suggested, “Let’s leave first. There are too many people.”
“Okay.”
The group quickly departed, and Zhao Zhemei mentioned along the way, “The battle for the top ten emerging dragons actually consists of two stages, the first stage being a simple one-on-one contest, also known as the ‘Qualification Battle’.”
“The winners of each round are selected, producing fifteen strong contenders for the top ten emerging dragon rankings.”
Then comes the team battle.”
“Team battle?”
The three looked at each other, Chickie sighed and realized, “No wonder these S-class new students are moving around hooking people up, it’s all for this team battle!”
Zheng Cheng said, “I’m also aware of this team battle. Apparently, after the qualification battle, each contestant chooses another nine new students to form a team and conquer a dungeon selected by the school.”
“After all fifteen teams complete the dungeon challenge, the top ten emerging dragons are selected based on both dungeon and qualification rankings, is that correct?”
Zhao Zhemei nodded, “Yes, the top ten emerging dragons not only represent the strongest new students of each cohort, but also symbolize the comprehensive strength of our school.”
“After all, our school cultivates not only warriors who only know how to fight, but also leaders who can strategize and lead teams!”
Zheng Cheng asked, “Then what is this year’s dungeon for the top ten emerging dragons’ battle? The same as last year’s?”
“Seems like it’s changed…”
“Let me tell you!”
A familiar voice suddenly interrupted Zheng Cheng. Zhou Xinyu, Ye Xishui, Zhao Wufeng appeared from the darkness.
“Zhou Xinyu!”
“Ha ha ha, Brother Zheng Cheng, we meet again.”
“You guys were in the vicinity, weren’t you?”
“Not at all.” Zhou Xinyu nodded at Yao Zhixue, saying, “Your competition is the biggest event since the start of the semester. Half of the freshmen were watching, how could I possibly not come?”
“But what I didn’t expect was that you guys would win so easily.”
Yao Zhixue said nothing, just quietly nodded her head.
Zheng Cheng said, “Go on, what’s changed? Judging by what you said, this year’s Top Ten Hidden Dragons competition rules have changed again?”
“Not exactly.”
Zhou Xinyu chuckled, “Actually, it changes every few years, the school will announce it in a few days.”
“Oh? What are the changes?”
“The Alien Battlefield.”
“Alien Battlefield? What do you mean?” asked Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, and the others with their eyes suddenly brightened.
“It’s quite simple. This year’s Top Ten Hidden Dragons competition will take place in the Alien Battlefield.”
Yao Zhixue was the first to ask, her tone somewhat rushed, “Where?”
Zheng Cheng instinctively glanced at Yao Zhixue, then looked at Zhou Xinyu.
Zhou Xinyu shrugged, “A newly discovered Alien Battlefield.”
“A new Alien Battlefield?”
“Yeah.” Zhou Xinyu continued, “According to the old man, it’s a spatial rift that suddenly appeared after we occupied the Radiation Island.”
“A reconnaissance team has been in there for half a year now. All we know is that it is an endless wilderness, with a lot of wild creatures.”
“The place has been temporarily named ‘Wilderness’, and our mission is to go into the Wilderness, along with the vanguard forces to scout the Wilderness.”
“Radiation Island?”
“Wilderness?”
Zheng Cheng, Yao Zhixue, and Chicken looked at each other. They had all been to Radiation Island.
Zhou Xinyu chuckled, “You remember, don’t you? It was also found by accident.”
“To prevent other Different Races from entering the Wilderness and finding our Blue Star’s coordinates, we need to seize the Wilderness first!”
“No.” Zheng Cheng suddenly said, “If it’s just simple reconnaissance of the Wilderness, what’s the criteria for judging the ranking of the Top Ten Hidden Dragons?”
“Unless … other races have already entered the Wilderness!”
Zhou Xinyu nodded, “Absolutely, other races have also discovered that Wilderness, even earlier than we did.”
“Which race?”
“A branch of the Beastmen, the Subterranean Beastmen!”
“Subterranean Beastmen?”
Their faces changed. No one had expected it to be the Beastmen.
Among the All Heavens and Thousands of Tribes, the Beastmen rank among the top hundred.
They possess formidable physiques and close-range combat abilities, and their tribe often produces the most powerful warriors.
Together with their shamans, witch doctors, beast tamers and other professionals, they are renowned throughout the All Heavens.
The Subterranean Beastmen, however, are a branch of the Beastmen, made up of more than a dozen different races.
The strength of the Subterranean Beastmen alone surpasses that of the Blue Star’s Race!
“Yes.”
Zhou Xinyu nodded, “Initial scouting reports suggest Dogmen, Jackal werewolves, and Mastiff Men. We don’t know about Lizard-men, Spider-men, and Medusa yet.”
“They’ve built a lot of tribes and caves in the Wilderness, forming a siege on our just completed ‘Great Wall of the Wilderness’.”
“And our mission this time for the Top Ten Hidden Dragons competition is to kill these Subterranean Beastmen. They will calculate it based on the number of enemies you’ve killed and their level.”
“I see!”
Zheng Cheng nodded slightly, the mission for this year’s Top Ten Hidden Dragons competition bore some similarities to the mission on Radiation Island.
After exchanging a few words, they soon excused themselves and left.
Zheng Cheng then looked at Yao Zhixue, “Zhixue, are you going to the Wilderness?”
“If you go, I’ll go.”
“Isn’t that the Alien Battlefield you wanted to go to?”
Yao Zhixue shook her head, “No. To go there, my level needs to reach at least Level 69!”
“Level 69, huh…” Zheng Cheng nodded, “Got it, I’ll accompany you when the time comes!”
“You…”
Yao Zhixue hesitated for a moment then finally nodded, “Alright.”
Zheng Cheng suddenly turned, looking in another direction.
There was a flurry of activity there.
“Brother Cheng, what are you looking at?”
“Nothing.” Zheng Cheng shook his head, “Let’s go, we have class tomorrow.”
“Yeah.”
As they left, Dongfang Yang and his people also left in the same direction.
“Young Master Yang, where are we rushing off to?”
“To find Zhang Meiyu!”
“Find her?”
“The enemy of my enemy is my friend, isn’t it?”
In the darkness, a smile emerged on Dongfang Yang’s face, “Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue, both from humble backgrounds, don’t even know they’ve offended the Zhang Family of Black Dragon City. They’re unaware of just how powerful that family is.”
When Zheng Cheng and his companions returned to the villa, his step suddenly halted.
Chicken asked surprisingly, “Brother Cheng, what’s up?”
The Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique flickered, Zheng Cheng shook his head, “Nothing. We have a guest.”
“A guest?”
As expected, when the trio entered the living room, the lights were on and a teenager in a floral shirt and beach pants was lazily lying on the sofa.
“If it hadn’t been for the people at home who investigated you, I really would have thought you were some illegitimate child my uncle or aunt had outside~!”
