Chapter 142 - Competing for the Conscious Fruit (2/2)

One of the conscious fruits that was hanging quietly on the branches a moment ago suddenly dropped to the ground without a moment’s notice.

What a sudden turn of events!

The fruits could not be harvested by using brutal force. Since they were growing on the consciousness tree, they could only be picked by using conscious energy alone. Only an F-tier consciousness would be able to detach the fruits from the tree instantly. Of course, the pedicel would also loosen eventually if being attacked by lower-tier consciousness continuously.

That was why the students from the three universities had been attacking it relentlessly. The effort had lasted for almost two hours.

Unexpectedly, the fruit dropped the moment Qin Feng’s party arrived.

“Dumb luck!”

“Grab the fruit!”

“It belongs to us!”

All the participants were tensed up and concurrently targeted the fruit.

Zhao Yu made her move as well.

“Up!” Zhao Yu’s consciousness was not as great as Qin Feng’s. Nonetheless, although she could not immediately break the pedicle, she was still capable of using telekinesis so she aimed for the fruit as soon as it started falling.

Her conscious energy was activated quicker than the rest so the fruit initially flew straight at her.

However, the other ability students were not there as decoration. The conscious fruit stopped short and trembled in midair as several minds tried to control it simultaneously.

Schwaff!

A white cloth suddenly appeared and wrapped around the fruit. The other side of the cloth was in the hands of Zhang Tianche. He grabbed with all his might and pulled the conscious fruit toward him.

The white cloth was actually Zhang Tianche’s bandage. Who would have thought that it could be used this way?

The other students were agitated by Zhang Tianche’s action.

“The fruit must stay!” The students screamed and jumped hungrily toward Zhang Tianche.

This was when another two loud bangs were heard coming from the tree’s direction. The other two fruits had also fallen!

The consciousness tree did not stop brandishing its branches and vines to sweep at those who dared to draw closer.

“Damn!”

Those who were attacking Zhang Tianche instantly switched targets and went over to grab the two newly dropped fruits.

Zhao Yu once again triggered her conscious energy to snatch one of the fruits, while Zhang Tianche was planning to use the same trick again.

However, the other competitors reacted faster this time.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

A barrage of bullets tore Zhang Tianche’s bandage in half. The white cloth was just mere fabric after all.

The battle quickly escalated following the series of gunshots.

Qin Feng’s party was being mercilessly targeted and numerous bullets rained on them.

“Hmph!” Qin Feng snorted and suddenly, all the bullets that were about to reach them hung awkwardly in midair.

“Reverse!” He infused his consciousness into the bullets and returned them to the opponents.

“Argh!”

“Sh*t!”

“Conscious rebound! How is this possible?!”

The crowd squealed in disbelief.

It was tremendously rare for a student to master such a craft. More importantly, he was doing it on a few hundred bullets. That was scary!
