Chapter 811: Assassination Storm (6)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
On their way here, he had already asked about Zhao Yu’s progress in activating his spiritual aperture and learned that Zhao Yu already had nine spiritual apertures opened.
Turning his head towards Zhao Yu, he asked, “What do you think?!11
Zhao Yu scanned them through his super brain interface and confirmed that the level of these three young men was inferior to his own.
One had only four spiritual aperture open, while the other two had seven and eight respectively.
Moreover, judging from the qi and blood energy stored in their spiritual aperture, it was obvious they hadn’t reached the limit let alone the breakthrough.
“It’s fine!” Zhao Yu nodded as agreed.
Xu Chang Qing nodded and reveal their decision, “Good, that’s settled then. Three matches. Regardless of the outcome, you must tell me everything you hear with on those days!”
“No problem!” Zhuge Dali readily agreed.
Next, the Zhuge Family announced that Xu Chang Qing brought Zhao Yu to the Zhuge family for a friendly gambling contest.
With this, even if someone speculated later, they wouldn’t suggest an attempt on Zhao Yu’s life.
Third-tier magic medicine gave a fair number of tech points. To fill nine spiritual aperture, Zhao Yu received nearly one hundred thousands tech points.
Now, with all nine spiritual aperture, he had over ten thousand qi and blood energy. One-to-one recovery meant he could recover about ten times back and forth, which was more than enough.
Normally, Zhao Yu wouldn’t want to lose a third of his tech points at once.
But the stakes were too high—a staggering one hundred and eighty million.
With so much money, converted into magic medicine, it would be enough for him to advance to the third tier. In addition, it would replenish at least over seven hundred thousand tech points.
Soon, both sides took their stances.
First up was the weakest among the three of them, a man named Zhuge Jin who only had four spiritual aperture open.
At this moment, Zhuge Jin’s face was full of discontent.
Even before coming out, he had been warned by the elders to deliberately lose to Zhao Yu in the first match.
The Zhuge family believed that in three matches, Zhao Yu probably wouldn’t win a single one. However, if they won them all, Xu Chang Qing’s reputation would suffer greatly, possibly leading to violence.
Therefore, they planned to deliberately lose one or two matches to avoid Xu Chang Qing’s rage.
Whether it would be one or two matches depended on Xu Chang Qing’s reaction.
As the crowd cleared a space for the two to fight and no one was around, Zhuge Jin couldn’t help but say, “Zhao Yu, you should consider yourself lucky, otherwise…”
Being young and hot-blooded, he couldn’t hold back, intentionally speaking in riddles, hinting at his own strength: originally, he could have won against Zhao Yu, but because Zhao Yu was a special guest, he would go easy on him this match.
Hearing this, Zhao Yu couldn’t help but smile.
Since the members of the Zhuge family had this idea, he decided to play along with them.
Soon, both sides began to fight.
Zhuge Jin didn’t rush to attack, but instead observed Zhao Yu’s condition.
On Zhao Yu’s side, the blood and energy of four spiritual aperture surged directly, condensing into an attack of nearly five thousand qi and blood energy. “Take this!”
“How is this possible?!”
Zhuge Jin was greatly surprised. He didn’t expect Zhao Yu to be able to condense so much qi and energy into attack.
He quickly responded by mobilizing all the blood and energy in his body.
However, even if all the blood and energy stored in the four spiritual aperture were mobilized, it was still several hundred points less than Zhao Yu’s amount. After all, he had not undergone much practice and training, so the amount of blood and energy stored in each spiritual aperture was far less than Zhao Yu’s.
“Boom!”
The people of the Zhuge family watched as Zhuge Jin was heavily injured and sent flying.
Although they were surprised at Zhao Yu’s speed in condensing qi and blood energy, since they lost, it was a good lesson for the Zhuge Jin.
“Host…”
Zhuge Jin lay on the ground, finding it somewhat hard to accept.
Zhao Yu smiled and said, “It’s luck, just luck!”
Seeing his hypocritical words, Zhuge Jin felt an impulse to knock him out.
But he had lost after all, so there was no point in saying anything tough now.
With the help of a few friends, Zhuge Jin went down to heal.
Soon, the second challenger came up.
This Zhuge family member seemed more stable, not competing with Zhao Yu, but looking at the Zhuge family leader.
The Zhuge family leader had been observing Xu Chang Qjng’s reaction. Seeing that he remained expressionless, he was unsure of his thoughts.
After hesitating for a moment, he slightly shook his head at the second Zhuge family member on stage.
Upon seeing this, the person couldn’t help but show a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but quickly adjusted.
Obviously, in a situation where he could win, no one wanted to lose. But since the Zhuge family leader had spoken, he couldn’t defy him and planned to intentionally lose to Zhao Yu later.
Although their reactions were subtle, Zhao Yu could see everything clearly with his superbrain vision.
If the opponent was willing to give up all the stakes, there was no need to arrange these details, just lose to him.
But now, it was obvious that he planned to lose two rounds and win one.
After weighing his options, Zhao Yu decided to continue hiding his abilities. So, as before, he mobilized the qi and blood energy of four spiritual aperture and launched an attack.
The opponent did not unleash his strongest blow either, but coordinated similarly, mobilizing the qi and blood energy of five spiritual aperture, just slightly higher than Zhao Yu’s.
This slight excess of energy was not enough to be fatal; any defensive tactic could easily block it.
For others, it might be difficult to handle, but they were well aware that Zhao Yu had the ability to rapidly recover energy.
Although they didn’t know how much of this ability would remain in his third tier, it was certainly enough to defend against.
