Chapter 134: Enraged

Three days later, the break ended .

On that day, the forty chosen students gathered together again . The instructors herded them onto a flying warship, which began to ferry them to the Goldwater Ruins .

The flying warship flew extremely quickly . The Goldwater Ruins weren’t very far away from the Hidden Dragon Institute in the first place, so they reached their destination in only half a day .

When the students arrived at the Goldwater Ruins, they saw troops garrisoned in barracks and flags waving in the air . Countless armor-clad soldiers were marching in file, and the skies were filled with other flying warships .

There were garrisons set up across from them as well . Countless Ferocious Race individuals yelled barbarically, occasionally combining their voices to unleash a thunderous roar .

When compared to the orderly, disciplined human armies, the Ferocious Race soldiers were much more untamed . They did not line up in an orderly fashion; rather, they still possessed an indescribably wild aura . They were constantly yelling and howling, often wrestling barbarically with one another .

In between these two campgrounds was an unassuming pile of rubble .

The pile of rubble seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection one would find that the air above the pile of rubble appeared distorted, as if there was a fire burning underneath it .

They were void distortions, implying that there was a void node nearby .

Someone with void-type Origin Skills could even take a peek at what was behind the void node .

A tall stage had been constructed atop the pile of rubble .

A few human and Ferocious Race generals were sitting atop the stage .

By the time the flying warship ferrying all the students arrived, a group of young Ferocious Race individuals were already gathered atop the stage .

These Ferocious Race youths were brawny and clad in animal skins . They were roughly equivalent in size to someone from the Cliff Rac, and their bodies were sharply sculpted and covered in intricate designs and inscriptions .

When Su Chen and the others stepped off the warship, they locked gazes with the Ferocious Race youths . Instantly, the flames of bloodthirst erupted in their eyes .

Both sides knew that they would soon be enemies .

Even though there were no grudges between them, they would take every opportunity to kill the other party .

A tall Ferocious Race captain said, “Since everyone is here, let’s begin the test . ”

“No objections,” a Long Sang officer replied .

Both the human and Ferocious Races had lived under the rule of the Arcana Kingdom . Thus, they had developed the habit of communicating in the same language . Even though their development afterwards led to the evolution of a few local dialects, they could communicate with each other without any issues .

The test they were referring to was to inspect whether or not any student had brought along anything worth more than ten thousand Origin Stones .

To avoid pointless squabbling, every item was valued based on what tier it was .

For instance, a Grade 9 Origin Tool was valued around eight thousand Origin Stones .

A common-tier medicine was worth around five hundred Origin Stones .

In other words, students could not possess two Origin Tools at once . Even if a student were to select the most outstanding item from that tier, they would still be limited in quantity .

Origin Rings and a few other survival necessities were not included in this evaluation .

Most of the Ferocious Race students brought along weapons, with the vast majority of those weapons being battleaxes . This extremely violent race enjoyed nothing more than splitting open people’s’ heads like watermelons with their battleaxes .

These axes were hewn out from stone .

In particular, they were made from Bloodiron Stone, a unique resource of the Harvey Plains . They were extremely sturdy and thick, and blood-red inscriptions ran along the body and handle of the axe . These were the result of the Ferocious Race’s unique techniques that increased the power of their axes, giving them the ability to wreak incredibly devastation amongst their enemies .

In comparison, the human students had brought along all kinds of items .

Some had brought weapons, some had brought defensive items, and still others had brought Origin Formation Disks .

The person who had brought the most items was Su Chen .

The Ferocious Race officer opened Su Chen’s Origin Ring and dumped out a large pile of medicinal vials, flowers, herbs, and even a table . He was stunned by what he saw . “What is all of this?”

“This one is a triangular flask, this one is a dropper bottle, this one is a measuring beaker, this one is a long flask, this is Seven Wisps incense, these are pink entrails, these are beast tendons……” Su Chen described them one by one to the officer .

That Ferocious Race officer could feel his head growing larger . He stared at Su Chen fiercely and said, “I’m asking you what you are planning on doing with all of this . ”

“That’s none of your business,” Su Chen replied .

“But the issue is that I have no way of determining their value . ”

“That’s very easy to determine,” Su Chen replied . “Look at these vials . They have no Origin Energy inside them and are simply common tools that can be bought with just a few coppers . They can be lumped under the category of survival necessities . As for those medicinal herbs, you can determine their market value and count that .

That Ferocious Race officer seemed to understand . “You’re an alchemist, right? Brat, you must want to bring these items in to concoct medicines later . That’s a smart idea; a simple common-tier medicine is worth 500 Origin Stones, but you will be able to multiply that value many times over if you bring them in as medicinal herbs .

“That’s none of your concern . I’m just doing things based on the rules . ”

“No, absolutely not . These vials cannot be considered to be under the survival necessities category . ”

“That’s just what you think, Mo Lihan!” One of the Long Sang officers walked over . “The way I see it is that this youth is just someone who likes to drink water from different kinds of containers . Based on the rules, any item without Origin Energy and that cannot drastically affect the outcome of a battle can be brought in without restrictions, as long as it’s a survival necessity . These vials must be allowed in without any restrictions based on the rules that we have already set!”

“The human race has always tried to be tricky . Xiao Feinan, do you think that you will win just by taking advantage of this loophole?” Mo Lihan harrumphed .

“Whether we win or not is our business . More importantly, the rules need to be followed, Sir Mo Lihan,” Su Chen said coolly . “If the cowards from the Ferocious Race are afraid, then they can leave right now and avoid losing face . ”

As he spoke, he purposefully glanced towards the Ferocious Race youths, the corner of his mouth curling upwards in disdain .

“Watch your tongue, bastard!” The Ferocious Race youths began to howl with rage .

The Ferocious Race was always quick to anger . Their rage began to burn when they heard Su Chen’s incendiary diatribe and saw his mocking expression .

Su Chen ignored it and said again, “I said that you are all just a bunch of cowards . You don’t dare fight us head-on; you are only willing to use these kinds of methods to create trouble for your opponents . ”

“Bastard! You’re asking for it!” a Ferocious Race youth howled and charged forward, punching Su Chen .

BANG!

The powerful fist landed on Su Chen’s body . Su Chen let out a yell as he flew through the air, spitting out a large mouthful of blood .

He did not attempt to dodge, instead allowing this fist to send him flying .

“Su Chen!” Everyone crowded around him to support him .

The human race’s officer, Xiao Feinan, was enraged . “Mo Lihan, what are you doing!? If you want to throw the rules out the window, let’s fight it out right now!”

Even Mo Lihan was stunned . He turned around and glared at that member of the Ferocious Race . “Who told you to attack!”

The Ferocious Race youth knew that he had caused some trouble . He lowered his head and remained silent; however, he continued to glare at Su Chen, hatred smoldering in his eyes .

Su Feinan looked back at Su Chen . “Are you okay?”

Su Chen replied, “Sir, I have suffered some internal injuries, and I won’t be able to revolve my Origin Energy very easily . I think that we need to demand some reparations from the other party . ”

Su Feinan was startled at first before he seemed to catch on and began to laugh darkly .

He turned around to glance at Mo Lihan . “Mo Lihan, you heard it for yourself . Your side injured our side before we even entered, breaking the rules . We have the right to demand some form of retribution . ”

Upon hearing that Su Chen had received such serious injuries, Mo Lihan was stunned . “That’s not possible!”

He strode over and grabbed Su Chen’s hand, only to discover that Su Chen had truly suffered some internal injuries . Even though they weren’t very serious, he truly had been injured .

“How useless . I just gave him a careless punch anyways,” that Ferocious Race youth continued to mutter .

“Shut your mouth, idiot!” Mo Lihan whirled around and struck out, sending that Ferocious Race youth flying .

Then, he looked back at Su Chen . “What retribution do you want?”

Su Chen replied, “That guy hit me with a punch . My demands are very simple: either let me strike him once or let me bring another item worth ten thousand Origin Stones inside . ”

Allow Su Chen to strike him?

That Ferocious Race youth had just carelessly punched him and hadn’t used his full strength . The only reason Su Chen had been injured was because Su Chen hadn’t tried to defend himself .

But if Su Chen were to attack, the circumstances would be different .

Mo Lihan knew that it might even be possible for that human to kill the Ferocious Race youth in a single blow if the human in front of him possessed some kind of killing move .

He understood . “You did this on purpose, did you not? You purposely angered us in order to provoke a response out of us just for this?”

“What I did it for is not important . What’s important is that I was injured, and you have a duty of making some kind of reparation . You can choose one of the two conditions .
