Super Martial Era: My Little World

Chapter 74 Invitation

"Gallo, my nemesis! You have the potential to be admitted to four top-tier universities! You're not a genius who should be stopped at the first round of the college entrance exam! Give me the bead, and after the college entrance exam, you give me another one million Alliance Coins. How about we form an alliance and hunt for other beads together?"

Yang Lie walked up to Jia Luo, extended his hand to him and invited him.

Alliance Coin is the common currency within the Human Alliance's sphere of influence. Its value is not comparable to the garbage currency like Kong Yuan that can be printed at will on Konghe Star.

Even the worst Hundred Refining Realm graduates from the four top universities would only earn a few thousand to ten thousand Alliance Coins a year. For students in the Celestial Realm, their annual salary would be as high as hundreds of thousands. For students in the Golden Core Realm, their annual salary would be as high as several million.

Yang Lie learned through Zhao Meixian's Human Alliance account that the extremely rare fifth-level beasts on Konghe Star could be easily purchased on Blue Sea Star for only tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Alliance coins. Naturally, he wanted to seize every opportunity to make money.

"Okay! I agree!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Jia Luo's eyes, and he directly held Yang Lie's big hand and stood up.

Jia Luo was a martial arts genius, and his dream was to attend one of the four top universities. If he lost to Yang Lie in the first round, he would only be able to attend a semi-top university.

The one million Alliance coins was a huge sum of money for Yang Lie, but for a genius like Gallo, the legitimate son of a wealthy family, it was only a year's pocket money.

"Isn't I Yang Lie's nemesis? How come there's another Jia Luo?"

After Jia Luo and Yang Lie reached an agreement, both sides stopped fighting. Shangguan Xuanhai muttered with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Zhao Meixian chuckled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, his nemesis is more than just you two. If you get angry now, you will only get more angry in the future!"

Chen Haoming strode over to Yang Lie and asked, "Yang Lie, didn't you promise us that the two remaining beads in this area would belong to us? If Jia Luo joins, how should the beads be divided?"

Yang Lie suggested, "How about this! There are two beads left in this area, each worth one million Alliance Coins. Since you brothers joined the team first, you will have priority to purchase them. If you can't afford them, let Gallo pay for them. The Alliance Coins earned from selling the beads will be distributed among the rest of the people who didn't buy the beads according to their contributions."

There was a hint of hesitation in Chen Haoming's eyes.

One million Alliance Coins is no small sum. The Chen family is considered a top family on Jinyuan Star, but it pales in comparison to the Luo family. Furthermore, after encountering top talents like Yang Lie, Jia Luo, Zhao Meixian, and Yu Wendu, the three Chen Haoming brothers lost their confidence in gaining admission to the four top universities.

Gallo said straightforwardly, "How about this, Chen Haoming! I'll buy the remaining two beads in this area for two million Alliance Coins each! You two split the Alliance Coins equally!"

A hint of determination flashed across Chen Haoming's eyes as he said, "No! Yang Lie, my brothers and I bought the remaining two beads in this area. One million each, right?"

Admission to those four top-tier universities was extremely valuable, undoubtedly worth countless times more than one million Alliance Coins. After all, once one could gain admission to one of these four top-tier universities, even if one only reached the Hundred Refinements Realm, one would possess an immense network of connections.

Yang Lie smiled and said, "That's right! The beads in this area are one million each! But the beads outside this area are more expensive, at least two million Alliance Coins each. And what I agreed with you is that you have the right of first refusal for the beads in this area. We will discuss the beads in the next area later."

Chen Haoming responded decisively: "Okay! As long as we get the beads and enter the next round, I will transfer the money to your account as soon as the college entrance examination is over."

Yang Lie said: "Okay!"

Inside the monitoring room of Garden Star Area 8769 competition.

Wu Cong laughed heartily and said, "Haha! Lao Zhou, I win!!"

Zhou Jipeng's face turned pale as he said, "No! It's not over yet!! We're comparing Yang Lie and Jia Luo's college entrance examination rankings! Although Yang Lie defeated Jia Luo this time, his college entrance examination score may not be higher than Jia Luo's!!"

Although Jia Luo was defeated by Yang Lie, he was not eliminated after all. If, due to some unexpected circumstances, Yang Lie was eliminated and Jia Luo advanced to the second round of the college entrance examination, then Jia Luo's college entrance examination ranking would indeed be higher than Yang Lie.

Wu Cong laughed heartily and said, "Old Zhou, you should know that the chances of this happening are slim! Yang Lie's strength clearly surpasses Jia Luo's!"

Zhou Jipeng said coldly, "Even if the odds aren't great, there's still a chance! The outcome could change until the very last moment!" Wu Cong smiled and said no more. He already had the upper hand, so naturally he didn't want to provoke Zhou Jipeng. After all, he and Zhou Jipeng didn't have a deep hatred.

Night fell and darkness enveloped the land.

Yang Lie, Jia Luo and Chen Haofang sat in front of a campfire to keep watch.

Yang Lie suddenly chuckled and said, "Did you find out?"

Gallo said slowly, "You're still faster! As expected of my nemesis, you're really capable!"

Chen Haofang was confused and asked, "What did you find?"

"I'll take care of it!"

Gallo's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot, like a huge eagle flying into the darkness.

A few breaths later, Gallo came out carrying a monster called Scorpion Shadow Tiger, which was covered with shadow-like fur, had a tiger head and a scorpion tail.

Chen Haofang's expression suddenly changed. "A peak-level third-level ferocious beast, the Scorpion Shadow Tiger! This is a monster that can sneak in the shadows and conceal its presence. In the dark of night, its stealth ability is so strong that even warriors at the Heavenly Man Realm find it difficult to detect its whereabouts. These two guys are indeed monsters!"

Yang Lie praised: "Amazing! Jia Luo!"

"Small idea!"

Jia Luo smiled faintly, his heart filled with pride. He had been praised since he was a child. If others praised him, he would just treat it as a normal thing. But when Yang Lie, his old enemy who had defeated him, praised him, he was extremely happy.

"But there's a little mouse lurking around! Let me take care of him!"

Yang Lie chuckled, and with a flick of his body, he flew towards another dark branch in the forest.

A young man, seemingly completely absorbed in the darkness, watched the approaching Yang Lie with a surge of fear in his heart. "Did he discover me? Impossible! My concealment ability is enhanced by my bloodline. Even a master of the Heavenly Man Realm would have difficulty discovering me!"

Suddenly, Yang Lie disappeared from the young man's sight.

"Where did he go?"

A hint of doubt flashed across the boy's eyes.

The next moment, Yang Lie appeared behind the young man like a ghost, pinched the young man's neck with one claw, and exhaled his true energy.

The young man was instantly knocked unconscious by Yang Lie.

The best martial arts to stun an opponent or seal their Qi are the Acupoint Sealing Finger and the Pulse-Severing Finger. Although Yang Lie is not proficient in these techniques, he does have similar techniques in the Azure Dragon Fist. He cannot seal the opponent's Qi, but it is still very easy to stun them.

Yang Lie grabbed the boy's clothes, jumped up, and appeared next to the campfire after a few jumps. He threw the boy to the ground.

"Yang Lie, this guy, has such a strong sense! Besides practicing the Azure Dragon Fist, has he also practiced other techniques that enhance perception? Or is his bloodline one of the top-level ones?"

A flicker of shock flashed across Jia Luo's eyes. To keep pace with Yang Lie, he'd often employed a secret technique to enhance his perception. Yet, he hadn't noticed a single trace of the young man. Clearly, the gap in perception between him and Yang Lie was enormous. This gap, in turn, fueled his fighting spirit.
