Chapter 73 The war begins

Lin Zhao said, "Then you two should bring your men and come with me to prepare for tomorrow's great battle."

Liu Wendong subconsciously asked again, "Tomorrow?"

Although they already knew a bit about Lin Zhao's personality, they were still shocked that Lin Zhao would set such a big matter for tomorrow.

"It's better to act sooner rather than later. Now that we have the fighting power to confront them, it's time to retaliate."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wendong and Xu Chengfeng, imagining the scene of getting all the humiliation they had suffered back, couldn't help but feel their fighting spirit soar.

After Lin Zhao led the two-man team back to their main force, the entire team cheered.

Originally, Lin Zhao's team was actually inferior to Zhao Jixing's team in terms of combat strength above the third level of Enlightenment. However, since the weakest members of Liu Wendong and Xu Chengfeng's teams were all at the third level of Enlightenment, these differences became negligible with the addition of Liu Wendong and Xu Chengfeng.

"Gentlemen, tomorrow is the day to launch the final battle."

Lin Zhao stood at the front of the crowd, his expression serious, and said, "I will be facing Zhao Jixing, the strongest member of their team. The other two will be dealt with by Qu Shu Shengzi and Ming Yue. As for the rest, I'll leave them to you. Whether we successfully enter the academy or return home in disgrace depends on tomorrow's battle. If we win, we'll gloriously share their vast points; if we lose, our points and even our lives will be in the hands of others. Gentlemen, do you dare to fight alongside me?"

"war!"

"war!"

"war!"

More than three hundred people raised their arms and shouted, their voices reaching the sky.

At the same time, Lu Yuan also posted the declaration of war on the South China Sea Square of Tiantong Mirror.

The news quickly ignited the entire South China Sea Square.

Now, not only are the teachers and senior officials of the South China Sea University paying attention to this freshman competition, but even some senior students can't help but comment on this large-scale competition that involves more than two-thirds of the freshmen.

Hey, this year's freshmen are really causing trouble; they've actually split into two major factions!

[The leaders of these two factions must have reached the Great Perfection of Enlightenment, right? That's almost comparable to some four-year-old students. These freshmen are truly terrifying.]

Yes, this year's session is said to be the best in nearly a century.

Amidst the heated discussion, the topic grew increasingly strange, eventually evolving into speculation about which team would win.

[Come on, place your bets now! Starting at 50 low-grade spirit stones. Let's see which team will win!]

To express my love for Fairy Wangshu, I support Zhao Jixing's team.

【Do you have to be so real? Love, my foot! I think you're not even as good as that bastard Shen.】

【Life's tough, I guess. Although my love for Fairy Wangshu is as boundless as a surging river, I'm dirt poor these days. I suppose my goddess wouldn't want me to starve. Maybe I should go to the underworld and burn paper money for her to express my love?】

【…】

When Lin Zhao opened the Heavenly Mirror the next day, he saw the huge difference in odds between his team and Zhao Jixing's team and fell silent.

One to ten.

Lu Yuan looked at them, touched his nose, and said, "Although our high-end combat power is not much worse than theirs, it is still lacking."

Lin Zhao waved his hand and said, "Don't try to comfort me. These people probably think I'm no match for Zhao Jixing, which is why they've placed their bets on him."

After a moment's thought, she asked, "Can we place a bet?"

Lu Yuan's lips twitched, and he shook his head: "This only applies to the teachers and students inside the South China Sea Academy. We're still outside right now."

As he spoke, he asked with a hint of amusement, "Does the captain need more money?" Lin Zhao glanced at him leisurely and shook his head inscrutably.

In fact, after all this time, buying materials for various elixirs and other things her grandmother asked for, she's now dirt poor!

“I know someone in the academy,” Qu Shu said. “I can ask him to help us place bets.”

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up.

"Please bet 100,000 low-grade spirit stones on me, and I'll bet myself!"

With 100,000 low-grade spirit stones and odds of 1 to 10, you can get a million low-grade spirit stones in return!

Lin Zhao felt like she was about to make a fortune.

Qu Shu nodded.

As the final betting time ended, Lin Zhao raised his arm and led his troops toward Zhao Jixing's position.

Unlike their team, which remained hidden within an array, Zhao Jixing's team was exposed to the public eye without any formation, in order to facilitate the selection of more suitable talents at any time.

Lin Zhao and his men arrived in front of Zhao Jixing and the other two in no time.

Seeing that Zhao Jixing's team was clearly larger and of higher quality than his own, Lin Zhao gripped his bone sword and stepped forward.

Zhao Jixing crossed his arms and looked at the large group with a somewhat mocking gaze.

When he saw Lin Zhao, who was leading the group, he couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.

"A stray dog ​​that fled in a sorry state a month ago now dares to bark at people?"

Lin Zhao was not angered by his sarcasm. Instead, she smiled and replied, "The person didn't say anything, but the dog is barking happily because its bone is about to be taken away."

Zhao Jixing glanced at the team behind Lin Zhao and Qu Shumingyue beside him: "If you formal students leave Lin Zhao's team now, I might spare you."

However, none of Lin Zhao's team paid any attention to his words, which made Zhao Jixing's smile grow even wider.

"Very well, very well indeed. It seems that you disciples of humble origins regard her as a heroine of the uprising?"

Lin Zhao sneered and drew his bone sword: "I might as well say this: during the battle, as long as you leave Zhao Jixing's team, I, Lin Zhao, will not pursue the matter!"

Zhao Jixing could clearly sense that after Lin Zhao spoke, many people in his team had their eyes flickering.

Although this was mostly because he usually suppressed these cultivators from ordinary backgrounds too much, how could Zhao Jixing, who was used to being number one, allow someone to have more influence than him?
"What are you standing there for? Make your move!"

With a cold expression, Jialan stepped forward and approached Qu Shu, while Ji Xiao, carrying a large sword, also slashed at Ming Yue.

With the four new kings making their moves, battles were about to break out, and the cultivators from both sides found their opponents and began to fight.

Among all the battle zones, three are the most important: the battlefields of Qu Shujialan, Ji Xiaomingyue, and Zhao Jixing and Lin Zhao.

Especially in the final battle between the two, everyone understood that the winner between these two teams would depend on who won.

Looking at the round-faced youth in front of him who was still smiling kindly, Lin Zhao exhaled a breath of stale air: "It's going to be a tough battle."

Zhao Jixing scoffed, "A tough battle? Are you trying to humiliate me?"

He's been at the Great Perfection of Enlightenment for over a year now, and what is Lin Zhao anyway?!
