YM778.TV Chapter 865: The
The first floor had medicinal ingredients, which was almost as big as the Mission Association. It was over a thousand square meters.
Qin Haodong looked around and found that there were all kinds of precious medicinal materials here, such as green snake fruit, soft vanilla, pearl grass, intoxicating flowers and internal elixirs of various beasts.
Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit was extremely rare on earth, but it was just an ordinary medicinal ingredient here.
Qin Haodong was shocked by its price. A Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit would cost him 100 top-level Spirit Stones. No wonder the Cultivation Pill was so expensive. Its cost was huge.
He had all the ingredients for the Cultivation Pill in his Storage Ring except for Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit. But he had no top-level Spirit Stones now.
It seemed that refining pills also required a lot of money. His top priority was to get some money now.
He asked the seller, “Can we borrow some medicinal materials now? I’ll pay you back after I make the pills.”
The seller gave him an odd look and said, “I’m sorry, but we don’t offer such services here. You must pay first.”
The two of them could only leave the Alchemist Association in despair. But they saw three students dressed in blue the moment they left the building.
At the sight of Zhao Xingyue, one skinny student cried, “Hey! Look! She’s so beautiful! She’s as beautiful as our campus Queen!”
A short fat man next to him said, “Yes. Big brother, I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl and she’s new here. Others might not have noticed her yet, so it’s an excellent opportunity to pursue her.”
Their leader was Dong Zhenjiang, who was about 1.85 meters. He was not ugly, but his appearance was a little wretched.
At this time, his eyes were fixed lustfully on Zhao Xingyue, as if he wanted to strip her naked.
“Big brother, don’t just stand there. Hurry up and take action, or she’ll leave soon.”
The fat man pulled Dong Zhenjiang’s sleeve.
“Oh yes!” Dong Zhenjiang turned around and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. He strode toward Zhao Xingyue.
“Hey, let me introduce myself. My name is Dong Zhenjiang, an old student at our school. Just come to me if anyone dares to make trouble for you.”
While speaking, his eyes were still fixed on Zhao Xingyue, and he paid no attention to Qin Haodong, who was standing next to her.
Seeing someone suddenly blocking her way, Zhao Xingyue became nervous and immediately held Qin Haodong’s arm.
“Who are you? I don’t know you!”
Dong Zhenjiang said with a smirk, “It doesn’t matter if we don’t know each other. Just tell me your name and we’ll be friends.”
Zhao Xingyue said nervously, “I don’t want to be your friend. You’d better leave now!”
Dong Zhenjiang said, “I don’t think so. You’re new here and must be unfamiliar with this place. I’ll help you.”
The fat young man said to Qin Haodong arrogantly, “Did you hear that? She’s my boss’s girlfriend. Get out of here, or I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”
Zhao Xingyue was afraid that Qin Haodong would leave her alone, so she quickly held his arm, “Brother Qin, don’t go, I’m so scared.”
“Don’t worry, you’re safe with me.”
Zhao Xingyue was the first person Qin Haodong met on this continent, and also his only friend at the moment. Of course, he would not leave her on her own.
He glanced at the three people in front of him. There would always be some annoying guys no matter where he went.
“Did you hear that? She doesn’t like you. You’d better leave now.”
Seeing that Qin Haodong didn’t take them seriously at all, the short fat man’s small eyes immediately widened. “How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to?”
The skinny student added, “That’s right. You are just a freshman. How dare you talk to us like this?”
Qin Haodong frowned. “Get out of here before I get angry!”
“Haha! You think you’re great, don’t you?”
Dong Zhenjiang felt that he was being humiliated in front of the beauty, so he shouted, “Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?”
The short fat man followed, “Fighting is not allowed here, but our boss has many ways to deal with you. Believe me, you’ll not survive in this place if you make an enemy of him.”
The skinny student shouted, “Just come to the challenge stage if you can. You’ll know how powerful he is.”
Qin Haodong suddenly had a good idea. Among the three of them, Dong Zhenjiang was the most powerful, but he was only at the early stage of the Apotheosis Realm. The other two had just reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
According to the rules, he would get a sum of money if he could defeat them. What a good idea! He was so lucky to have met these three stupid guys.
He glanced at them and asked, “Are you challenging me?”
Generally speaking, most of the new students here were at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. They were no match for the old students who had been studying here for several years.
They just wanted to threaten Qin Haodong, but to their surprise, the young man was not afraid at all.
At this time, Dong Zhenjiang was fascinated by Zhao Xingyue. He would of course not give up while his crush was present; on the contrary, he was eager to show off.
He said arrogantly, “Well, I’ll challenge you. Do you dare to take my challenge? I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Zhao Xingyue, who had always been timid, gave up and said, “Brother Qin, let’s go. We are new students and can refuse the challenge of old students.”
Hearing her words, the three students became even more confident. They thought that Qin Haodong was definitely a beginner too.
Dong Zhenjiang shouted, “Be a man and take my challenge! Or she’ll have to be my girlfriend.”
The short fat man also added, “Get out of here if you’re scared. We don’t want to see you again.”
The skinny man shouted, “Your boyfriend is a good-for-nothing toyboy! You’d be better off with my boss. You’ll get everything you want here.”
Qin Haodong found their words amusing, but he pretended to be irritated, “I’ll take your challenge! I’m not a coward!”
“Let’s go to the challenge platform now. I’ll show you who’s the winner!”
Dong Zhenjiang sneered, “Girl, just wait and see. Strength is the only important thing in our academy and the toyboy is not a worthy opponent at all.”
The challenge platform was not too far away from them. In ten minutes, they reached their destination.
It was actually a bigger arena. It covered an area of nearly 100 square meters. With the help of the formation, it was unbreakable.
There were nearly a thousand seats around the platform. Some curious students would come over and watch the game.
In the Tortoise Academy, where there were nearly ten thousand students, disputes would happen every day. Students would come here every day to challenge others or take up others’ challenges. The academy even had a teacher on duty who was there specially to accept such applications.
As an experienced student, Dong Zhenjiang was extremely familiar with the procedure. He first paid 10 top-level Spirit Stones, and then said to the short fat man, “Ma Dong, go and teach this guy a lesson.”
He was extremely arrogant. He thought that it would be shameful for him to challenge a newcomer, so he asked the fat man to do it.
“Yes sir! I’ll definitely give him a sound beating.”
Ma Dong then jumped onto the challenge platform. Qin Haodong followed him. The teacher on duty, as the referee, was already standing in the middle of the ring.
The rules were that the students could get injured, but death must be avoided at all costs. The referee was Wang Dalei, a master at the early stage of Voiding Realm. As the referee, he had to ensure that both sides were safe.
At this time, nearly a hundred students gathered under the stage. It was rare for a freshman to take up the challenge of a third-grade student.
“Who is he? How dare he accept the challenge of an older student? He will get a sound beating.”
“Hasn’t he figured out the rules of our school yet? A junior can refuse the challenge of the senior.”
“Is he new here? He’s so handsome. If he wins, I can consider being his girlfriend…”
On the arena, after the two sides got ready, Wang Dalei shouted, “Please get ready and the challenge begins.”
Ma Dong sneered, “Young man, today I’ll show you how big the gap between a freshman and an older student is.”
“Dragon Whirlwind Kick!”
As a student from the third grade, he was very confident in his cultivation at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, so he used extremely fancy moves at the beginning.
He jumped into the air and kicked out in a row. His legs approached Qin Haodong’s head like two roaring dragons.
Qin Haodong could have killed him with just one move, but he didn’t want to expose his real strength. His top priority was to get Spirit Stones, after all.
So he pretended to be at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm and didn’t use his full strength. After fighting for more than ten minutes, he finally defeated Ma Dong at a high cost.
First, he let Ma Dong punch him in the chest, and then kicked him off the stage.
Seeing that the new student had defeated an older student in the third grade, the audience cheered and applauded Qin Haodong.
Dong Zhenjiang’s face immediately darkened. He didn’t expect that his man would lose this match. He had lost ten top-level Spirit Stones and was humiliated in front of Zhao Xingyue.
Qin Haodong pretended to be in great pain and left the ring with his hands clutched to his chest. Zhao Xingyue immediately came over to him and asked with concern. “Brother Qin, are you okay?”
He shook his head and said, “I’m fine.”
Then he said to Dong Zhenjiang next to him, “What do you think? Are you convinced?”
Being humiliated by a freshman, Dong Zhenjiang blushed and said, “How dare you be so arrogant! Let’s have another fight!”
Zhao Xingyue said, “No, Big Brother Qin is injured.”
Qin Haodong was amused. With this timid little girl beside him, he didn’t even need to put on an act.
He said angrily, “Why not? I’ll take your challenge if you are not afraid of being defeated once again.”
“All right.” Dong Zhenjiang paid another 10 top-level Spirit Stones for the challenge and then said to the skinny student, “Lu Fei, it’s your turn. Make sure you’re the victor.”
“Yes Sir! I’ll teach him a lesson.”
In terms of cultivation, there was not much difference between Lu Fei and Ma Dong. They were both at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, Lu Fei was very confident now because Qin Haodong had been injured and he was definitely not his match.
