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.
