Chapter 38
Why Do I Feel Like Chen Ye Is Fighting the Great Demon King Himself?
In her territory, Su Wan was nervous. She had once fantasized about getting the first rank. However, that was just wishful thinking. She knew she could never defeat the reigning champions.
Now, she was so close to the first place, and she didn’t even know how it had happened.
Outside the simulated arena, the teachers and students, watching everything on the big screen, were equally nervous.
There were only two Lords remaining in the arena. There would be the inevitable battle between the Lords.
“Will Su Wan win?”
The male students who supported Su Wan also hesitated. No matter how much they wanted to see Su Wan win, they knew of Chen Ye’s strength.
There were three monstrously powerful people in the Star Academy. The most powerful among them had already graduated. The second was Long Quan and the third, Chen Ye!
“It will be close to impossible for Su Wan to win against Chen Ye!” The teachers had the same opinion.
The teachers had felt that if Su Wan could make it into the Top Ten and get selected for the Inter-Campus Tournament, it would have been enough. The teachers would have an answer for the Dean when he returned. However, Su Wan had actually fought through to the Top Two!
If Su Wan could eliminate Chen Ye, she would be fully deserving of the place seeing how she had performed till now.
“No matter what, we have complied with the Dean’s instructions and even exceeded his expectations!” The head of teachers was in a good mood.
The Dean’s instruction was to get Su Wan to compete in the Inter-Campus Tournament. As for her rank, that wasn’t specified. Even if Su Wan was defeated, she would still be in second place.
In the arena, Su Wan tried to calm herself. She used the same strategy as before. She opted to defend the one entrance that was open to the valley. It would be easier to defend her territory this way.
“I’m just a new student. No one will say anything if I just stay here and refuse to seek out the opponent.”
Chen Ye was a senior. If he chose to stay put and not choose to attack, he would be the laughingstock of the entire academy. His pride as the senior won’t let him stay in his territory and do nothing.
Su Wan didn’t really care to obtain the first place. She just wanted to do her best to survive and be considered a good competitor for the competition.
‘Knowing Chen Ye’s usual fighting style, he will definitely send his troops here and hack his way through,’ contemplated Su Wan.
Su Wan was aware of the gap of strength between her and the seniors. In terms of troop type, she wasn’t that bad. She had the Black Gold Behemoths, after all. But she was hugely lacking in the resources department. She hadn’t had the time to amass as many resources like the seniors.
The outside world was also discussing Chen Ye’s next move.
On the screen, the scene switched to Chen Ye.
Although Chen Ye had lost many troops in the combat with Mu Qing, the surviving soldiers were more than sufficient to defeat Su Wan.
“Su Wan doesn’t have a chance of winning.”
“I would send my Army across and drive them to despair if I were Chen Ye.”
Everyone anticipated that Chen Ye would be cold and uncommunicative. To put an end to this tedious farce, he would just rush with his troops.
On the screen, however, Chen Ye’s circumstance was unexpected. A substantial number of soldiers were stationed beside Chen Ye. It appeared as though everyone was waiting for Chen Ye to order an attack.
However, Chen Ye did not issue any order. He waited as the Blood Dominator unfurled his wings and hovered in the sky.
“It’s almost time!” said the Blood Dominator.
Chen Ye’s troops seemed to realize something. The knelt on the ground in front of the Blood Dominator.
“What are those soldiers doing?”
“Why do I have a bad feeling about this?”
Everyone watching the screen felt terrified. They thought Chen Ye could clearly crush Su Wan’s troops with his army.
“Chen Ye is still too cautious. He thinks that Su Wan might have some kind of trump card, so he is planning something big…”
Some people were of the opinion that Chen Ye was being overly cautious for nothing. But Chen Ye was using everything he had. When pursuing a prey, a lion would likewise employ all of its strength.
In order to completely eliminate Su Wan’s chances when Chen Ye met her, he had to deploy his potent trump card.
“So, Su Wan had no chance at all?”
As everyone watched in anticipation, something changed on Chen Ye’s side. What kind of final maneuver would the Blood Dominator use?
Finally, it was time for the big move that everyone was expecting.
“Sacrifice!” the Blood Dominator said in a low voice and Chen Ye’s whole troop turned into a pool of blood.
Numerous soldiers turned into blood and gathered around the Blood Dominator.
“Isn’t he being too cautious?”
The Blood Dominator absorbed the power of numerous troops. The wings on his back grew larger and larger.
The Blood Dominator’s body simultaneously developed enigmatic patterns and odd inscriptions flickered on it.
The Blood Dominator softly flapped his wings, sending the sand and stones in the area flying. The storm blew hundreds of trees away!
With such horrific qualities, not even the teachers could possibly stand a chance against them, much less a new student!
Sacrifice all of your subordinates to raise your characteristics to a new height! With such a terrifying ability, Chen Ye could surely perform excellently in the Inter-Campus Tournament.
Chen Ye’s actions undoubtedly startled everyone. They had guessed Chen Zhao’s strategy, response, and course of action!
However, they hadn’t expected Chen Ye to sacrifice all his troops to put all of his faith on the Blood Dominator alone.
“Why do I feel like Chen Ye is fighting as though he is going to face the Great Demon King himself?” One of the students blurted out.
“It really does look like that. Gathering all the strength for one fatal blow!”
“Chen Ye regards Su Wan as the final Boss? This is unbelievable!”
Everyone acknowledged Su Wan’s talent and strength. They had seen her reach her current state.
But Chen Ye being overly cautious to the extent that he considered Su Wan as the final Boss was too confusing.
“How will Su Wan deal with this?”
Su Wan’s towering presence appeared on the screen as the audience’s concerns were growing.
Su Wan was, at this moment, standing in the valley and gazing into the distance. Her clothes rustled as the wind blew, and she appeared breathtakingly gorgeous.
The sky was suddenly clouded in dark clouds. The sun was obscured by thick clouds, and red lightning blazed.
From the heavens, a purple-black shaft of light descended and hit Su Wan’s territory.
Purple-black runes developed as the purple-black light radiated in all directions.
Not long after, the purple-black array enveloped Su Wan’s territory.
