Chapter 30
An Unfair Advantage
“Good thing I didn’t try to fight…”
Chu Lingjun felt a chill down his spine!
There was a reason why the Wild Wave Company had spent more than half a month without success. When the group of people left, the electric eel followed them to find out who they were.
After all, no matter how powerful the River-Turning Rat was, he could outsmart it and lure it away from its base.
Now, he had found the perfect bait.
It was easy to lure away one River-Turning Rat, but it was not easy the whole nest away.
Moreover, there were many variables in this. If he was not careful, he might fail… No, the Wild Wave Company would fail!
Half a month has passed and they are still trying to get in. This shows that the Wild Wave Company must have tried it long ago and failed!
Ding Ying had also said that when the Wild Wave Company carried out their mission previously, only five people survived out of the ten!
Chu Lingjun thought for a while and shook his head. He’ll let them handle the disaster.
While the Wild Wave Company attacks in front, he will sneak in from the back and steal everything valuable.
During the lunch break, Chu Lingjun turned his attention to the electric eel clone as usual.
Chu Lingjun activated his Electric Field skill and hunted around the sunken ship, hoping to advance to Level Two as soon as possible.
“Hmm?”
At this moment, the Electric Field skill found something in the riverbed below.
The electric eel swam over and found a gold bracelet in the mud!
“Ha, just my luck!”
Chu Lingjun smiled and let the electric eel clone pick up the gold bracelet.
He leisurely returned to the cave and saw that in the deepest part of the cave, there were many things shining with golden light.
There were gold earrings, gold bracelets, gold watches… There was even a spirit stone!
When he summed it all up, it was close to 20,000 to 30,000 dollars!
These were all the valuable things that the electric eel had missed out before.
Chu Lingjun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry about this. In a month, the value of the things found by the electric eel clone alone would exceed his father’s salary.
After school, Chu Lingjun and Ding Peng went to the arena to spar.
“Chu Lingjun, don’t hold back today!” Ding Peng stared at Chu Lingjun, his battle intent surging. His face was filled with anticipation and fanaticism!
“Come at me then.”
Ding Peng, who was nearly 1.8 meters tall, instantly launched an attack. The blood in his body boiled, and the sound of blood rushing through his blood vessels could be faintly heard.
With a low growl, he lunged at Chu Lingjun with a heavy attack!
Under the effect of his powerful vitality, Ding Peng’s speed was nearly twice as fast as before!
Ding Peng looked like an enraged bear as his fist whistled through the air. His burly body burst forth with a powerful oppressive force that pressed down on Chu Lingjun!
Chu Lingjun was slightly shocked!
This is why they said vitality was the foundation of a martial artist!
The higher the vitality, the higher the attributes of a martial artist’s body. They would be stronger, faster, and more likely to overpower their opponents!
Unfortunately for him, in the face of an unreasonable skill like the Electric Field, unless Ding Peng’s speed was so fast that Chu Lingjun couldn’t react in time, the outcome would be the same.
Chu Lingjun dodged to the side. He grabbed Ding Peng’s arm and threw him over his shoulder, stopping his flow.
Ding Peng flew out of the arena like a broken sandbag.
Ding Peng was defeated!
The other students around them gasped in surprise, but they also shook their heads with bitter smiles.
Over the past half a month, Chu Lingjun and Ding Peng had sparred no less than ten times, and the results were the same as today.
Even Lin Yin, Zhuo Chang, and the others looked at Chu Lingjun enviously. They had been abused by Ding Peng countless times in the name of practice, but Ding Peng was being abused by Chu Lingjun!
They were both espers, but the difference was uncanny!
“It’s my turn, let me have a go!”
A tall and beautiful girl with a heroic stance jumped onto the ring. It was Chen Zhiqi.
“Don’t worry, I only use this longsword for sparring. It’s not sharpened. The wooden sword has gotten too light for me.”
Chen Zhiqi took the initiative to explain.
“I know. Come on.” Chu Lingjun smiled.
Chen Zhiqi cracked her neck and charged.
A light shot out like a flower blooming, stabbing straight at Chu Lingjun’s chest.
“That’s pretty cool!” Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but praise as he quickly dodged.
However, the longsword kept up with his pace. When Chu Lingjun dodged to the right, she would stab to the right. When Chu Lingjun took a step back, she would stab forward. She moved like a shadow would!
Chen Zhiqi’s swordsmanship had improved compared to the last spar!
Chu Lingjun looked at Chen Zhiqi in surprise. He caught a glimpse of her smug and glinting eyes.
Her face was flushed with excitement, and it was bright and dazzling. She was overjoyed, there might be a chance that she could defeat Chu Lingjun today.
Chu Lingjun laughed. Did this little girl think that she could defeat him like this?
With a thunderous explosion, a blue electric snake appeared from Chu Lingjun’s body and snaked toward Chen Zhiqi!
Chen Zhiqi was shocked and quickly mobilized the blood in her body to defend herself. A blood-red halo appeared on Chen Zhiqi’s skin.
However… Chu Lingjun’s lightning did not plan on striking Chen Zhiqi’s body, but the sword in her hand instead!
Suddenly, Chen Zhiqi cried out in surprise. The long sword in her hand fell to the ground, and white smoke spread from the sword.
“If you want to fight me, you might as well use a wooden sword instead of a metal one.” Chu Lingjun smiled.
“Well, it’s mainly because your superpower is too shameless.” Chen Zhiqi touched her numb right hand and bit her lip as she cursed.
Chu Lingjun laughed and didn’t refute. When espers face martial artists, using their superpower can be seen as cheating sometimes.
The true fact was that Chen Zhiqi had improved a lot today.
In the previous challenge, Chu Lingjun had only used his Electric Field skill to win.
Today, Chen Zhiqi’s sword attack was getting fast and tricky. She almost got him many times and her sword technique had improved a lot.
It would have been impossible to dodge her attacks if he was an ordinary person.
Chu Lingjun didn’t want to expose his cultivation as a martial artist, so he could only use the power of lightning for the time being.
“Your swordsmanship has improved a lot. When you sparred with me the last few times, you deliberately didn’t use it, right?”
“Why? Jealous?” Chen Zhiqi snorted.
Recently, she had been practicing the sword technique that her mother had just taught her. In order to defeat Chu Lingjun in one fell swoop and not alert the enemy, Chen Zhiqi had been holding back from using it for the past few days.
It was not until today that Chen Zhiqi hurriedly took it out to use. She was hoping that it could be a trump card that would defeat Chu Lingjun.
However, the power of lightning was still too overbearing. With her current strength, it was still too difficult to overpower him!
