Chapter 897 - The Hunting Competition (1/2)

“This was what happened when you refused to actively admit defeat!”

The Little Witch giggled and snapped her fingers at the Silver Claw Octopus. “Alright! Let them go. Come back!”

A summoner was the king of the beasts being summoned. The Silver Claw Octopus was unwilling to let them go. Nevertheless, it still retreated back into the Gate of Life quickly.

“Oh, My God! That guy won the championship before he even made a move…”

“That guy is too cunning. I’m not convinced…”

“I can also see that the so-called new king is bullshit. He doesn’t even have the courage to take an action. In the end, he relied on the Little Witch…”

Hearing the discussions around him, Qin Haodong didn’t care at all. Anyway, today’s strategy was very successful. He won the championship while preserving his strength.

“This bastard, all of our preparations were for nothing!”

Looking at Qin Haodong in the arena, Xue Pan was so angry that his eyes glowed red like fire but there was nothing he could do.

He Kaishan said, “Don’t worry, Brother Xue. The hunting competition is about to begin. Then, we’ll do it ourselves. I don’t believe we can’t defeat this guy.”

Xiao Yulong said, “This guy is really shameless. He has been hiding behind a woman and won the championship without lifting a finger. The man has lost all his dignity…”

A bright smile lurked at the corners of Murong Jinghong’s lips. “I don’t think so. I think this is an interesting man!”

Seeing that the woman he liked had a better impression of Qin Haodong, Xiao Yulong gritted his teeth and decided to teach the gigolo a lesson in the hunting competition.

Let him see what a real man was and what a real Strong was.

No matter what the audience thought, the referee announced that Qin Haodong’s team of three had won the championship in this freshmen competition according to normal practice.

After that, Luo Dongqing walked up to the podium again and began to speak to the students. After summarizing the results of the competition, he gave out the rewards to all students who had entered the team battle according to the rules.

The champion got 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones, the runner-up got 15,000 top-level Spirit Stones, the third one got 10,000 top-level Spirit Stones, and so on.

Qin Haodong got 20,000 top-level Spirit Stones. Adding the 80,000 he earned from selling pills, he had 100,000 Spirit Stones in total. He could try to make a breakthrough.

But at this moment, Luo Dongqing on the podium said again, “Students, this money is not yours for the time being. It will soon be entered for the old student hunting competition. The old students will snatch the Spirit Stones from your hands. You need to use your strength to defend your rewards…”

Next, the freshmen competition entered the hunting competition. Luo Dongqing announced the rules of the hunting competition.

“First of all, during the hunting competition, the life safety of the students must be ensured. It is fine to injure others but no deaths are allowed. Otherwise, the students who break the rules will be expelled from the Tortoise Academy.

“Secondly, during the hunting competition, the contestants of each team are hunters and also prey.

“Anyone can snatch the top-level Spirit Stones from the contestants of any team. However, only half of the top-level Spirit Stones can be taken at a time. Those who violate this rule will have their qualifications revoked and all their top-level Spirit Stones will be confiscated.

“Third, the hunting competition will be held in the Nightmare Canyon. The time limit is 24 hours. All contestants must pass through the Nightmare Canyon and reach the exit on the other side within 24 hours. Otherwise, they will be deemed as having failed and all top-level Spirit Stones will be confiscated…”

After announcing the rules, the Tortoise Academy organized the 48 freshmen entering the finals and 30 old students participating in the hunting competition to the Nightmare Canyon together.

This canyon was not far from the Tortoise Academy. Its shape was similar to a spindle. Previously, it was called the spindle canyon. Later, because of the older students’ hunting competition, it was regarded as a nightmare by the new students, so it was renamed the Nightmare Canyon.

According to the rules of the academy, the new students would enter the Nightmare Canyon 10 minutes in advance.

Under Luo Dongqing’s command, the new students who had won rushed into the Nightmare Canyon.

Each of them cherished the top-level Spirit Stones in their hands very much. They did not want to be robbed so they had to reach the exit of the other side as soon as possible.

The only difference was the Qin Haodong Trio. He looked back at the old students who stood behind him and eyed them covetously.

Just like them, the old students who participated in the hunting competition were also in teams of three. Apart from the Little Witch who was participating in the freshmen competition and Dong Zhenhai who had been expelled from the academy, all the top ten masters on campus also took part in the competition.

However, the Tortoise Academy did not wish for the gap in strength to be too large. The requirement was that the top 10 students could only form teams of two students, with one additional student accompanying them.

The most eye-catching was the combination of Murong Jinghong and Xiao Yulong. Each of them already had super strength so their team was a powerful combination. Moreover, the third member of their team was an old student at the early stage of the Voiding Realm.

This team’s strength was absolutely enough to frighten the people at first glance.

Behind them was Fang Qiong’er and Yun Qianqian, followed by Xue Pan and He Kaishan, who eyed them covetously. Each of their teams was accompanied by a powerful old student.

Qin Haodong was not familiar with the three people who were ranked fourth. After the Little Witch introduced them secretly, he knew that two of them were Jiang Qingzhou, who was ranked fifth among the top ten masters, and Song Junyu, who was ranked eighth.

The strength of the remaining six teams was slightly weaker but every single member of these teams was the Strong at the stage of the Voiding Realm.

Seeing Qin Haodong looking at him, Xue Pan said fiercely, “Brat, no one can protect you in the hunting competition. Just wait and give me all your Spirit Stones.”
