Chapter 459: Chapter 13 The World Is Unfair_3
Tianqu University had a total of five main competitors, with three of them being assigned to the same division, which was truly a coincidence.
During the preliminaries, as hosts, Upper Pure Sect and Tianqu University could arrange their contestants’ draws without being too obvious.
But once the main competition began, each round advanced meant a substantial amount of resources, and the maneuverability of Upper Pure Sect and Tianqu University was greatly reduced.
Tianqu University chose to place all its bets on Yuwen Donghao.
After “manipulating” Yuwen Donghao’s draw, the rest of the students could only leave it to fate.
Under these circumstances, Zhuo Buping and Yue Xu were drawn into the “Death Zone.”
But this gave Yue Xu a glimpse of opportunity.
Zhuo Buping fell silent for a moment, then looked at the other person, “Given my current condition, I believe you are confident that you can win against me, but you still came to find me, hoping to enter the next round in better shape.”
Yue Xu nodded earnestly.
Zhuo Buping asked in confusion, “But even if you advance to the next round, wouldn’t your opponent be the number one in history?”
Even if Yue Xu won the first round, his opponent for the round of 32 into 16 would be Li Fei.
Whether he was in good shape or not, would the result be any different in the end?
This was what Zhuo Buping couldn’t figure out.
“Of course I can’t beat the number one in history.”
Yue Xu stated the obvious.
His smile unchanged, he said, “But this competition will have specific rankings starting from the top 32, and even if I don’t make the top 16, I can still strive for a better placement.”
Zhuo Buping fell silent.
The fact that the other party was already calculating the rankings of the top 32 without having passed the first round made him unsure how to react.
“Junior, of course you won’t work for nothing, I will reward you handsomely afterward!”
Yue Xu said to Zhuo Buping with a sincere expression on his face.
His father was the Deputy Director of Supervision of the Cang Province Supervision Department, a level 15 officer, at the pinnacle of Fourth Rank Sitting Officials, with high position and significant power.
Most importantly, his father had the opportunity to take a step further and become the Inspector General of the Inspection Department, becoming a cabinet official!
Under such circumstances, even if his combat power wasn’t top-notch among the ten competing students from Tianqu University, he easily secured a spot in the main competition.
And because of such a background, the promise he made at this moment seemed particularly weighty.
He believed Zhuo Buping knew how to choose.
Being already injured, with almost no chances of advancing to the next round, it would be better to simply lose to himself.
Not only would this mean gaining a bit of profit, more importantly, one could also earn his friendship!
It was a calculation any wise person would know how to make.
Yue Xu watched Zhuo Buping with a smile on his face.
Zhuo Buping fell into silence.
His parents had named him ‘Buping’ hoping he would be an extraordinary person.
Entering Tianqu University, becoming a Refining Strength Martial Master, and now competing in the main event of the Martial Arts exchange, alongside many of the world’s young prodigies.
He indeed lived up to the name ‘Buping.’
But on this journey, Zhuo Buping had witnessed too much ‘injustice’:
With a common background, he could only afford university with financial support from a local family, and even as a fellow student, he couldn’t have an equal status with that family’s young master.
Without the support of a major power, competing for Academic Points was never a fair contest for him.
Even with skills surpassing all but Yuwen Donghao, he couldn’t secure a spot in the main event.
Now that he had finally fought his way into the main competition, someone was telling him ‘you should simply lose.’
All because the other person’s father was a Sitting Official, while his own father was just a small business owner.
There was so much injustice in the world.
A man named ‘Injustice’ always encountered it…
There will be two more updates tonight.
