Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2822

Chapter 2822

The Dawn student has never been in such an awkward position before . He trembled with anger while feeling trapped in an impasse .  

He was the one who initiated this betting game . Leaving right now would be even more embarrassing .

“We’re all fellow students, no need to bet so big . Just change it up . ” Another student helped out .

“Yes, make it smaller . ” Others nearby made it easier for the one from Dawn .

After all, the majority of them wanted to befriend this person . Everyone from that academy either had great talents or a strong background and certainly a bright future . Thus, they wanted to build a relationship right now .

This wasn’t the case for the students from Repentance . They didn’t give a damn about offending these country bumpkins and viewed them with disdain .  

That area had no big clans and sects . Plus, they were the descendants of sinners too . Who would want to associate with them?

This sense of superiority permeated the crowd . That’s why they chose to help the student from Dawn right now .

“We’re all from the same system, go easy on each other, not to mention what our seniors will do to us after an irresponsible bet . Go smaller . ” Another older student added .

“Let’s bet something else . ” The student from Dawn finally had enough support to make this request .

Qiushi gestured towards Li Qiye again by shaking his head, not wanting Li Qiye to risk betting the Sword of Repentance .

“Fine, I see that you can’t come up with anything anyway . Should have known that from the start judging by your shabby appearance . I’ll let you off then . ” Li Qiye smiled and took back the sword .

“Let’s not bet properties this time . ”The student from Dawn restrained his anger and came up with something else .

“Okay, bet whatever so you can spare yourself from the same humiliation . ” Li Qiye said .

“Let’s do this, the loser has to crawl around the valley and bark like a dog . If your group can’t get as many fruits as I can, all of you have to do it . How about that?” The student’s eyes darted around, clearly thinking, before stating .

“And if you lose?” Li Qiye asked .

“If I lose, I will do the same thing, hmph . But don’t worry, I will never lose . ” The guy snorted in response .

He was completely confident about picking several fruits . As for his opponents? It would be a miracle if they could get one or two .

Li Qiye smiled and looked at his fellow students . Qiushi did the same .

Everyone was hesitating because they knew that given their talents and powers, only Qiushi had a chance of picking this fruit .

They couldn’t beat this arrogant guy from Dawn - zero chance of winning .

“Too scared?” The student from Dawn noticed this hesitation and sneered: “Well, at least you know your place and the imminent defeat . Just a bunch of descendants from prisoners and sinners . Your ancestors never got illuminated by the light and you’re abandoned by it too . The sacred fruits here are the essences created from the fusion between the light and the heaven and earth . The higher the purity, the higher the grade of the fruit . Thus, how can something as pure as the White Hair Fruit be obtained by you and your ilk . ”

He stared at the group with nothing but contempt in his eyes . This aroused the group’s anger because his words struck deep into their insecurities .

They have never considered themselves to be descendants of evil men . Many came from regular families . Their ancestors were only farmers in Repentance . Thus, his accusation stirred a fire in their heart .

This fire has been fueled ever since they got here . Other students treated them with this same prejudice along the way .

This was the biggest insult to them and to their home .

“We’ll do it!” A nice guy like Zhou Qiushi gritted his teeth and nodded .

“Yes!” The other students agreed . They rather lose instead of being looked down upon .

“Did you hear that? We’re in . ” Li Qiye smiled .

“Good, it’s decided then . Everyone here heard it, no take back . ” The student from Dawn laughed .

“Yes, we’ll be witnesses and won’t let them renege . ” Others hastily chimed in .

The barrages of disdain left Qiushi and the others fuming with anger . Alas, they swallowed this indignation down .

“Haha, it’s almost your turn . ” The student from Dawn said with a smug smile: “You better appreciate the time you have now because you’ll be barking like a dog soon enough . ”

Li Qiye ignored the taunt while his peers clenched their fists . They must go all out and at least grab one fruit down .

***

It was finally their turn after a short moment .

“Are you all ready? Go up there already and try to get at least one . ” The student from Dawn shouted .

“Go . ” Li Qiye smiled at the group .

The group exchanged glances before jumping onto the branches to pick their fruits .

“And you, why are you not going up there? Don’t tell me you want to back out now . It’s too late though!” The student from Dawn glared at Li Qiye and uttered coldly . [1]

“No rush, I can beat you in the blink of an eye so I don’t want to scare you too badly . ” Li QIye leisurely smiled .

“We’ll see about that . You can go at the end then . ” This student’s expression turned ugly after being treated disrespectfully by someone he deemed inferior .

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t retort .

Meanwhile, the students from Repentance were knocking on any ripe fruit . Alas, not a single one has fallen just yet .

“See? A high-ranked sacred fruit is holy . Descendants of sinners like you all aren’t qualified to pick them . Just forget about it, scums will be scums . ” The student from Dawn enjoyed watching .

“It’s impossible because they’re too weak . Luck isn’t enough . ” An older student gently shook his head .

More time passed and the group still had trouble . They were extremely anxious and felt helpless .

“Just give up, you’re not qualified . ” At the same time, the Dawn student continued taunting .

“Focus your heart and mind, stay true to your dao…” Du Wenrui started speaking . His words echoed like bells in their mind .

Their dao heart was shaken as if struck by thunder . A light suddenly shined on their dao heart in this split second .
