Chapter 63 Zhao Tian's Provocation, Arena Match

As soon as Lin Lei finished speaking, a commotion broke out around them.

Many people's eyes fell on Gu Qing.

"Holy crap! You can do that? If I challenge Gu Qing to a duel and beat him, does that mean I'll get the first-place ranking reward for the first month?"

"What are you thinking? He's the top scorer in the college entrance exam."

"What a load of rubbish! He's just relying on a level 30 Desert Undead Dragon. He might not even be stronger than me, right?"

Gu Qing listened to these discussions without changing his expression in the slightest.

After saying some encouraging words, Lin Lei on the stage announced the end of the freshman assembly.

Gu Qing's eyes flickered slightly. The most crucial piece of information she had heard today was the freshman competition a month from now.

Not only does it determine the subsequent ranking rewards, but the ranking also grants additional school points rewards.

The crowd around them began to disperse, and Gu Qing also prepared to leave.

Just then, a crimson figure blocked Gu Qing's path.

"Gu Qing! I challenge you! Do you dare step into the ring and have a match with me?"

A commotion erupted around them, and many freshmen who were about to leave stopped in their tracks, their eyes falling on Gu Qing.

Although Gu Qing was the top scorer in the college entrance examination, most freshmen felt that Gu Qing relied on the level 30 desert undead dragon and that his own combat strength was not strong.

After all, how could a useless double-F-rank character suddenly become so powerful with just a rare item like the Bloodthirsty Demon Orb?

Nobody believed it.

Looking at Zhao Tian in front of him, Gu Qing's expression remained unchanged.

"Not interested."

Leaving behind a casual remark, Gu Qing walked straight past Zhao Tian.

Zhao Tian's eye twitched slightly as he felt the new students' gazes around him, his face burning with embarrassment.

How dare Gu Qing ignore me!

Zhao Tian turned around, looked at Gu Qing, and raised his voice: "Gu Qing! Are you scared?"

"I want to bet you on the ranking reward I'm about to receive. My student card number is currently sixth. If you're scared, just give me the ranking reward."

Gu Qing stopped in her tracks.

He was provoked, but only because of Zhao Tian's bet.

Zhao Tian is currently ranked sixth, so the reward is not bad.

Also, many freshmen around me are eyeing me covetously, so I can take this opportunity to avoid some trouble.

"Okay! We'll have it notarized, but your ranking is 6, and mine is 1. You'll have to add another three million energy crystals as a wager."

Zhao Tian nodded without hesitation: "Okay! It's settled then."

In Zhao Tian's view, Gu Qing only managed to pass through the hundred-story Nether Tower because of that three-thousand-level desert undead dragon.

After the college entrance examination, I familiarized myself with professional skills, mastered a skill, and acquired two new skills using a skill book. This was more than enough to deal with Gu Qing.

The surrounding freshmen, overhearing the conversation between the two, also began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Wow, they're really fighting. I remember Zhao Tian is an S-rank Berserker, right? He's a really strong class in arena battles."

"Yes, because of the venue limitations, berserkers are incredibly powerful in arena battles. On the contrary, Gu Qing's necromancer class is somewhat weakened by the arena limitations."

"I reckon Zhao Tian is going to win. I heard he's already leveled up to 14, while I'm only level 13."

"What a pity! I should have challenged Gu Qing instead; then the prize for being ranked first among the freshmen would have been mine."

"Yes, although it's only for one month, the reward for first place is quite generous."

"Gu Qing is an idiot. He just gave up the month's reward for being ranked first. If you don't like it, then be a coward. Anyway, we can't force a competition."

Most of the freshmen felt that Gu Qing's strength was definitely inferior to Zhao Tian's.

Lin Qinghan's gaze fell on Gu Qing, her expression somewhat expectant.

She felt that Gu Qing's strength was deeply hidden, and this competition should be able to reveal some of Gu Qing's abilities.

In her heart, the outcome of this contest still favored Gu Qing to win.

"What are you guys saying? I think Gu Qing will definitely win; he's the top scorer in the college entrance exam! Who among you has more points than Gu Qing?"

Hearing the voices around her pessimistic about Gu Qing, Zhong Mengyun couldn't help but speak up.

Because of Gu Qing, Zhong Mengyun also chose Jinling Academy, but her ranking was near the bottom of the top 100.

She had been looking for Gu Qing during the freshman orientation, but she never expected that Zhao Tian would challenge Gu Qing.

The others expressed their disdain, simply telling Zhong Mengyun that she would find out on the stage later.

Zhong Mengyun looked puzzled, but her heart was already filled with excitement.

She had witnessed Gu Qing's strength in wiping out the Mingyue Squad, so beating Zhao Tian would be as easy as beating a dog.

I really look forward to seeing how shocked these guys are; it'll be hilarious.

Zhao Tian couldn't wait to take Gu Qing to the school's notary office, afraid that Gu Qing would change her mind.

All the freshmen around them followed, eager to see the two fight.

After all, this is a rare opportunity to learn about the strengths of other new students.

After arriving at the notary office, Gu Qing and Zhao Tian quickly signed the notarized document in the presence of a senior student.

It's worth mentioning that many positions, such as those in notary offices, are filled by students working part-time, allowing them to earn school points.

After the notarization, Zhao Tian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Gu Qing, and said in a teasing tone, "Gu Qing, you actually dared to accept this?"

"I'll go easy on you because we went to the same high school."

"Of course, don't get upset if you lose. We're all classmates, this is just a simple challenge match."

Gu Qing looked at Zhao Tian quietly, as if he were watching a clown jumping around.

"Are you done talking?"

Seeing Gu Qing's calm expression, Zhao Tian's smile froze, then he snorted coldly and prepared to step onto the stage.

To ensure fairness, the equipment worn in the arena matches was provided by the notary office.

They are all silver-grade equipment with similar attributes.

After putting on their gear, the two went to the arena.

Zhao Tian held a large silver sword, looked at Gu Qing in front of him, and snorted coldly.

boom!"

A dense, violent aura instantly emanated from Zhao Tian's body, enveloping him completely.

Then, a beam of blood-red light shot out from Zhao Tian's mouth, quickly condensing into a blood armor that covered Zhao Tian's body.

"Holy crap! That's the Berserker's signature combat skill, Blood Frenzy Armor. It can only be comprehended through comprehension, not learned from skill books. I didn't expect Zhao Tian to master it so quickly!"

"His comprehension is heaven-defying! This kind of fundamental combat technique is usually only mastered at the second level, but Zhao Tian is so fast."

"The outcome is truly decided now. The Blood Frenzy Armor has very high defense; I estimate that Gu Qing won't even be able to break through Zhao Tian's defense."

Lin Qinghan quietly watched Gu Qing on the arena, ignoring the surrounding discussions.

He just frowned slightly as he watched Gu Qing not make a move.

Although she believed Gu Qing would win, Zhao Tian had already made a move, and Gu Qing hadn't made a move yet. Wasn't that a bit too careless?

Not far away, Irina was also watching the arena match.

Auntie had a high opinion of this guy, but in Irina's mind, she also thought that Gu Qing's top score in the college entrance examination was mainly due to that level 30 Desert Undead Dragon.

She wanted to see what was so special about this guy.

During the arena match, Gu Qing looked at Zhao Tian's Blood Frenzy Armor and immediately threw away the weapon given to him by the notary office.

"Netherworld Soul Scythe!"

"Netherworld Soul Armor!"
