Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 793: Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The competition between the seven major Cultivation Colleges, which was supposed to be formal, became strange after the appearance of the team from the Luo Shen Cultivation College.

Lu Xiaoyu and Cao Qingci were expressionless. Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao did not seemed embarrassed. They even waved excitedly to the spectators.

The spectators in the stadium were all students from the Luo Shen Cultivation College. After all, this was the home ground of the Cultivation Colleges. At first, everyone wanted to learn from soccer teams and cheer loudly for their own team to disrupt their opponents. But the entire stadium was silent. No one knew what to say...

“Are they serious about this?” Someone whispered, “I heard that Lord Lu treasures money like it’s his life, but advertising here is a bit too...”

Everyone understood what he meant even without completing his sentence. But was it really appropriate for them to advertise in such a formal setting?

“This is definitely Lord Lu’s idea. Look at Lu Xiaoyu and Cao Qingci. They are expressionless. I’m sure that they oppose Lord Lu’s actions.”

The fact that the team from the Luo Shen Cultivation College was advertising, quickly spread on the Cultivation College forum. The forum was very active. It was very hard to understand what Lord Lu was up to.

Lu Shu happily watched the influx of distress points in the system’s back end. The other colleges would not produce so many distress points because of this. They might not even produce any distress points. But Lu Shu guessed that the ten thousand students in the Luo Shen Cultivation College would help him to advance...

Even if each person only produced ten distress points, he would have a total of 100 thousand distress points.

Lu Shu did not care whether they emerged as champions in this competition or not. His aim was to make money. He almost wanted to write “Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune” on his face...

But he thought carefully about it. He decided that he should tell the rest of the students to be serious during the competition. Although the students from the other Cultivation Colleges were not present, if Lu Xiaoyu and the rest were able to eliminate the other teams, Lu Xiaoyu would definitely earn distress points from them.

When Lu Xiaoyu earned distress points, Lu Shu would as well. They could improve together...

With this objective in mind, if he wanted to use Lu Xiaoyu to earn distress points, he had to send Lu Xiaoyu to join the events. If he sent Cao Qingci and she destroyed their opponents, what would he do if they still did not give any distress points?

Not only that, Lu Shu also told Lu Xiaoyu to eliminate their opponents as much as possible. She had to make them full of despair.

Lu Xiaoyu did not quite understand, but she nodded her head... everything was in her hands!

The students quietly looked at Lu Shu. Forget it. Lu Shu and the rest were fighting for the glory of the Luo Shen Cultivation College. As long as they won this competition, the advertising would not matter much.

Everyone had slowly accepted the fact that the species research specialization was the strongest. Thus, everyone thought that since they were all from the same school, it did not matter even if they could not participate.

Because Chen Zuan had successfully advanced to Class B, the poll for the strongest participants on the forum had become a joke, as there was not a single person from the Luo Shen Cultivation College on the list.

Everyone had thought that Luo Shen Cultivation College would not be very strong in the upcoming competition. But they had instead become the bosses.

It had been proven that these lists were not reliable at all...

The students from the other Cultivation Colleges did not care much about Lord Lu’s advertising. Even the participants did not seem to mind. When the students from the Southwest Cultivation College looked at one another helplessly, their leader, Lin Yixin calmly said, “As long as Lord Lu does not participate, we’ll let them advertise as much as they want. We can only reveal our trump card when we see blood.”

Everyone had spent the past few days researching on battle strategies to counter the three Class B experts. The teams would take turns competing against one another. If they lost, they would go down the rankings. The winner would wait for other teams to challenge them. It was like a game called the King of Fighters.

The competition originally had a different format. The participants would fight against their own teammates. After the individual battles, five people would be selected from the team for a face-off. But this was scrapped when the competition was canceled. After the competition resumed, this system was not seen again.

Everyone did not comment whether it was fair or not. After they knew how powerful the Luo Shen Cultivation College was, the cancellation of the 5v5 competition was to protect everyone else...

The opening ceremony ended on a comedic note. The teams would then be divided into groups. The original competition was more complicated. The Heavenly Network wanted each group to go up against the other six teams. They would then decide the two finalist teams based on their total score.

Later on, they considered the fact that this was a real battle. There would definitely be injuries. If one team had to battle six other teams who was as strong as them, they would be exhausted by the time it ended.

Thus, the final format was decided. Two teams would battle each other and the winning team would advance to the next round. There would be one team who would have a free pass.

Although Zhong Yutang usually avoided Lu Shu, he had to fight for the benefit of his team. He looked at the other leaders and said, “Since there are fewer people in the Luo Shen team, they will have a pass for the first round. What do you think?”

When Lu Shu heard this, he was happy. Although Zhong Yutang could be stubborn, old-fashioned and inflexible, he always did things with the overall situation in mind. But when the benefit of his own college was concerned, he was not careless.

This had earned him the position of Chief Manager in Yuzhou. But Lu Shu liked how Zhong Yutang was slightly selfish. People were very complex. For example, Feng Yeming, who loved games, would give up games for the organization. Even Li Yixiao, who was often laughing, became nervous as he wrote his speech.

It was because human nature was so conflicting that it seemed rather adorable.

But Zhong Yutang’s suggestion was met with resistance. Lu Shu looked at Zhong Yutang, who was flushed with agitation, and explained to everyone, “We only have four people in Luo Shen. Why won’t you let us have a pass?”

Of course, they drew lots in the end. After all, the students from the Luo Shen Cultivation College were far too powerful.

Lu Shu looked at the results. Luo Shen would be up against the Southwest Cultivation College, while the Northwest Cultivation College would be up against the Luzhou Cultivation College. Everyone had said that the Northwest College and the Luzhou College were the strongest. They were now up against each other.

But to be honest, the leaders of both teams heaved a big sigh of relief... at least they did not have to face Luo Shen.
