Chapter 110: Everything Is Under Control

With just one punch, Duan Lian managed to send a student who weighed more than one hundred kilograms flying more than ten meters away. He shouted, “Who else wants a go?!”

There were around eight students surrounding him. They looked at each other, but not one of them dared to move forward.

Duan Lian gasped and felt incredibly gloomy.

Even though his strength and defense were really great, to the point that his fists could be declared invincible, and he had managed to grab around one hundred and thirty monster coins, this was his limit. He had a lot of monster coins on his head, so he did not dare to move anymore. How could he then run around to chase after other students?

His specialty had never been speed, and he was a large target. Everyone could see him running toward them from a distance. No matter how big his fists were, he could not hit them, so he could only play tag with those people. And if he were careless, someone behind him would ambush him. Even though he would not be injured, he would lose a lot of monster coins!

‘If I want to become Jiang Ming’s disciple, I need another sixty monster coins!’ Duan Lian gritted his teeth and cursed the damn rules.

Meng Chao and Xie Feng quickly snuck up behind him. Xie Feng whispered, “What should we do?”

“I’ll go to the left, and you go to the right. I’ll hold him back, and you release a major move to make him lose all his monster coins.”

“Huh?”

“What do you mean, ‘huh’? Haven’t you ever seen how bandits make other people bandits? If someone has a lot of coins and clean hands, no matter how persuasive the bandit is, they won’t be able to drag that person down.

“We have to make him broke and drive him into a corner before we can make him stand with us,” Meng Chao explained. “Now, Duan Lian has more than one hundred monster coins, so he’s certainly thinking that if he just works a little harder, he will be able to get two hundred coins.

“How could he believe us, and why should he work with us? It’s only when we make him as broke as we are that he’ll join forces with us.”

Xie Feng was silent for a while before he said airily, “Meng Chao, are you really a university student? Why do I think that you’re a monster in human clothing? ... Wait, even monsters aren’t as evil as you are.”

“Well, duh. If you want to survive under the monsters’ claws, you definitely have to be even more evil than they are. Are you coming or not?”

“Of course.” Xie Feng grinned. “In any case, my cup is already empty. I’m broke and no longer afraid of losing coins. If I don’t drag those other top scorers down into the mud with me, I’ll start thinking that things are unfair!”

The two of them looked at each other and attacked Duan Lian together.

Duan Lian had naturally noticed them sneaking up behind him a long time ago.

But he was surrounded by wolves and had no room to dodge.

Meng Chao and Xie Feng were about the same with him in terms of fighting power, but both of them had empty cups and nothing tying them down. They could fearlessly move about and use attacks that required a lot of movement.

Yet Duan Lian had to carefully protect the one hundred monster coins on his head. He was a built boy of around one hundred and fifty kilograms, but he had to be cautious of his movements, like a wife who was wronged by her husband. How could he possibly win?

Hence, three seconds after he was harassed by Meng Chao, Xie Feng completed creating his spirit energy magnetic field. Electricity surrounded his arms, and he threw a punch at Duan Lian. “Thunderous Palm!”

Meng Chao and Duan Lian’s eardrums were ravaged by a thunderous roar.

The essence of Thunderous Palm was the suppression of spirit energy. It made the air surge, which then led to an explosion that could burst eardrums. It interfered with the target’s cochlea and affected their balance.

Duan Lian staggered. His focus snapped, and dozens of monster coins spilled out.

He gasped, and his focus scattered even more. Meng Chao tripped him, and he fell in the direction of Xie Feng’s punch.

Two thuds rose, and Duan Lian fell down like a tree.

He was tough, so he did not even blink because of the punches. He just jumped back to his feet like a carp after he fell down.

But the monster coins on his head had all spilled out.

Meng Chao acted quickly. His punches stirred up a fierce gust of wind, and he sent more than one hundred monster coins flying through the area.

Just like before, many students started fighting for them.

“What the heck?!”

Duan Lian was stunned. When he turned his head around, he found that Meng Chao and Xie Feng were grinning at him, as if they did not just do what they did.

“You’re... Are you nuts?!”

Duan Lian stared at their empty cups with a slack-jawed expression, and he said the exact same words as Xie Feng had earlier.

Both he and Xie Feng came from the three super high schools, and during high school, they had competed against each other in many competitions. Naturally, they knew each other’s strengths.

And after the battle in the wild, Meng Chao could also be considered a rather famous person. Even though he was a broken-star superhuman, it was enough for him to fight against normal new students who had yet to become superhumans.

Why did these two people not have a single monster coin on their heads? And why did they throw his monster coins away? It was clearly because they were nuts!

“Duan Lian, hi, we don’t have time, so I won’t be introducing myself. Let me make this short. I admire your talents, so let’s be friends.” Meng Chao smiled and extended his hand. “Join us, listen to my commands, and I’ll show you a way to get two hundred monster coins.”

Duan Lian really wanted to spit in Meng Chao’s face. “Are you nuts?” he roared. “You made me lose all my monster coins, and you want me to listen to your commands? Why?!”

Meng Chao looked at Xie Feng.

Xie Feng braced himself and said, “If you don’t work with us, we’ll keep bothering you so that you can’t get even a single monster coin.”

Duan Lian’s eyes went wide; they looked like saucers. His mouth also opened so wide that it looked like one could stuff a bull in there. “You’re both nuts!”

“We’re not nuts. We have a plan, but I need the absolute trust and cooperation from all Four Great Kings. Why don’t you think about this calmly?” Meng Chao quickly said.

“But you’d best do it quick, because while both of you were dragged down to the mud with me, Sun Ya and Jiang Rui are still harvesting coins as much as they like. If both of them earn two hundred monster coins, what do you think will happen?”

Duan Lian and Xie Feng looked at each other and shuddered.

“All of you Four Great Kings should have been your most intense competitors during the high school years. If all of you can’t get two hundred monster coins, for the time being, none of you will be able to get under Jiang Ming and Li Yingzi’s tutelage, and you’ll still be at the same starting line,” Meng Chao said calmly.

“But if Sun Yao and Jiang Rui obtain two hundred monster coins while both of you get nothing, they’ll start at least seven steps ahead of you. In two-three months, you won’t even be able to see their shadows.

“So, your most logical choice is to join my camp. We’ll get rid of all of Sun Ya and Jiang Rui’s monster coins before we say anything else. Even if someone else takes advantage and snags their monster coins, as long as Jiang Ming and Li Yingzi haven’t taken in any students, you will still have the chance to catch up later, right?”

Duan Lian was full of brawn, but he had brains as well. Very soon, he understood this line of reasoning.

He gritted his teeth and joined Meng Chao’s criminal organization.

And he also vented all his anger on Jiang Rui, who knew nothing.

So, a minute later, Jiang Rui’s screech rose in the field. “Are you nuts?!”

Another minute later, four built boys with savage looks on their faces surrounded the petite and nimble Sun Ya.

“Now, you have two choices.” Meng Chao put up two fingers and said slowly, “One, hand over your monster coins on your own and give them to me. Two, we work together and send all your monster coins scattering so that others get them.”

Sun Ya narrowed her eyes and looked at the empty cups on the four boys’ heads. Without thinking, she handed all of her monster coins to Meng Chao.

“Ninth High School’s Meng Chao, all I’ve been hearing over the past few days has been news about you. It’s just as they say, you’re not a simple person.”

The top scorer in the martial arts course did show even a bit of anger on her face. Instead, she smiled sweetly. “So, what’s your plan?”

“Hey, Sun Ya, why do you think it’s his plan instead of mine?” Duan Lian said defiantly.

“Duh,” Sun Ya said. “He’s a broken-star superhuman, and he’s the weakest among us. He definitely used his head to control all of you. Otherwise, why would you work with him so willingly?”

Meng Chao smiled.

This was the top scorer in the martial arts course and someone who had cleared seventy-seven main meridians. As expected, not only was she strong, her intellect was also top-notch.

Meng Chao shared his plan in detail. “The four of you have already cleared over sixty main meridians. If you work together, you should be able to sweep through the entire field. But there are two problems in this.

“First, you need to trust each other. But this is a competition for cultivation resources in the university. You’re the four greatest competitors in this field. How are you supposed to trust each other and believe that each of you won’t stab the other in the back?

“Second, we don’t have pockets in the biochemical fighting suit we wear. Aside from the cups on our helmets, we don’t have anywhere else to put our monster coins. There’s a limit to the volume of the cups as well. I’ve made calculations just now. Even if you put the coins carefully, at most, you will only be able to keep one hundred and forty-four coins. It’s still way below the target necessary to get under Jiang Ming or Li Yingzi’s tutelage.

“These two problems are the reason why the Four Great Kings can’t work together. So, you need a middleman and a custodian, which is me.

“Now, you don’t have any monster coins on your heads, and you can snatch all the monster coins you want without fear. When you get those monster coins, send them back to me. I’ll put them on the ground and divide them equally into five portions, and I swear that I will protect them with my life.

“Like this, you can bring out your greatest fighting power without being restricted by the monster coins on your head. You don’t have to worry about trust either. My strength isn’t as great as yours, but it’s impossible for anyone to instantly defeat and snatch all the monster coins away.

“When the end of the game is near and there is just ten seconds left, we’ll pick up all the monster coins. At that time, aside from filling the cups, we can also grab dozens of monster coins in our hands. The other students will either have a lot of coins with them as well, or will be severely injured. They will be exhausted and unable to come up to snatch our coins.

“That’s my plan. I came up with it in a hurry, so there’s definitely a lot of loopholes in it, but I think it’s still better than us fighting on our own and trying to kill each other, don’t you think?”

“Wait a minute, why should we trust you?” Jiang Rui’s gaze was sharp, and his heart was full of anger.

“Because I’m the weakest, and I’m also a broken-star superhuman. I’ll definitely not be able to claim all those coins for myself, and neither do I need so many of them.” Meng Chao smiled faintly. “If I become greedy, you can just send all my monster coins flying with one attack, right?”

“Fine, even if we do trust you, why should you have the right to an equal portion of the monster coins as us?” Jiang Rui was very aggressive. “The four of us will be working ourselves to the core, but you just have to guard the monster coins here. There’s no such easy task in the world! You can only get a half! The four of us will divide the monster coins equally, and you can get a half of our share’s value!”

“Impossible. Having an equal portion is the foundation of cooperation. If there are four extra monster coins, I’d rather toss them all out instead of having an imbalanced structure among us.” Meng Chao remained calm even as he faced the sharp glare.

“Then, all four of us will work together to get rid of you!” Jiang Rui flew into a rage.

“Sure.” Meng Chao tilted his head and thought about it. “I definitely won’t be able to win against you, so I can only aim at one of you and hit you. I’ve made my decision. That person’s you, Xie Feng!

Xie Feng was dumbfounded. “Why is it me again?! Jiang Rui is the one provoking you!”

Meng Chao smiled. “Instead of fighting someone I’m not familiar with, I’d rather fight someone I’m familiar with, and I know you!”

Xie Feng almost fainted. He gritted his teeth and looked at Duan Lian. “Fine. I’m going to drag you down with me as well, Duan Lian!”

Duan Lian almost fainted as well. “Wait, why me?! Jiang Rui is the one provoking you!”

“He cleared all the main meridians in his legs, and he’s faster than the wind. I’d like to catch him, but I can’t,” Xie Feng explained. “But I can still somewhat suppress you, considering your speed.”

Duan Lian found himself speechless.

Sun Ya snickered. “Forget it. We’re all a bunch of misfits, and Meng Chao has us dancing in the palm of his hand. Jiang Rui, calm down and listen to him. We’re pressed for time!”

Jiang Rui did not want to cooperate, but Sun Ya had already moved out.

“Hey, you guys. You had a lot of fun while I had more than one hundred monster coins on my head, huh?”

She slowly exercised her neck, wrists, and ankles, and with a smile, she looked for the students who had caused her trouble. “Now, it’s time for me to have fun!”

Before her voice even faded away, the spirit flames on her skin burned fiercely. Ripples appeared in layers in the air, and her body became a little blurry.

She turned into an afterimage and sent those students flying.

The other students were naturally not her match. They also had nearly one hundred monster coins on their heads, so their movements were restricted. In an instant, they were beaten down.

Sun Ya did not chase after them. Instead, she stopped attacking when she deemed to have dealt enough damage and picked up the dozens of monster coins that had spilled out. She then went back to Meng Chao and the others’ sides.

She handed over the monster coins to Meng Chao and said, “Don’t just attack someone with a lot of coins and get them to spill all of their coins. If you snatch everything from them, they’ll definitely fight with everything they have against you. Just take from ten to twenty monster coins from each target. First, it won’t be as difficult, and second, after they weigh the pros and cons, they might not come looking for trouble. They might even look for someone easier to deal with.”

Xie Feng and Duan Lian looked at each other before they nodded. They imitated Sun Ya and went to look for targets.

Now, they were broke and did not fear those with coins. They had absolute advantage in terms of strength and pounced on the other students like hungry tigers. Very soon, they threw them on the ground.

In the chaotic fight, they might not be able to get all the monster coins, but just as Sun Ya said, many people hesitated for a while before they came to the decision to not fight against Xie Feng and Duan Lian while still possessing some coins. Instead, they fought for the monster coins scattered on the ground.

With just a few rounds of attacks, everyone came back with full hauls.

Jiang Rui glared at Meng Chao in loathing. He stomped his feet and joined their ranks.

After he grabbed dozens of monster coins, he still hesitated for a while, wondering whether he should deliver them into Meng Chao’s hands.

When Sun Ya saw this, she smiled. “Jiang Rui, it’s nothing even if you manage to get more than one hundred coins. But there’s still ten more minutes left. Are you sure you can keep them? Forget about whether the others will be able to snatch them from you. Since I don’t have any baggage on me right now, with just one move, I can get rid of half of your monster coins. Or are you saying that you don’t believe that I can do that?”

Jiang Rui cursed and angrily shoved the monster coins into Meng Chao’s hands. He gritted his teeth and said, “I hope that your punches are as good as your tongue. You’d better guard the monster coins we stole firmly!”

“That also depends on you,” Meng Chao said in a rather irresponsible manner. “As long as you Four Great Kings are sharp enough and form an iron wall around me, then beat up all the competitors who are more of a threat, no one will be able to snatch our monster coins.”
