Wang Dong Breaks Through to Three Rings

Zhu Lu's words had, in fact, altered the meaning somewhat.

However, Li Qingming merely smiled as he looked at Zhu Lu. He did not care, nor could he be bothered to make things difficult for this girl.

Since he had already decided to completely fall out with them, whether it was Dai Huabin or Dai Yueheng, both were now his enemies.

On top of that, he inherently despised the White Tiger martial soul. After all, it was Dai Mubai's martial soul.

He had possessed an intense aversion to the White Tiger martial soul from the very beginning. Under such circumstances, since Dai Huabin had taken the initiative to provoke him, how could he possibly not humiliate him?

"Fine, then it's settled. Whoever goes back on their word is a dog. How about the surrounding students serve as witnesses?"

As Li Qingming spoke, he looked toward the students around them. They exchanged glances, then nodded amid the silence.

Naturally, they were happy to watch such excitement.

Moreover, there were so many of them that even if Dai Huabin tried to renege later, everyone would mock him together. He could not possibly pin the blame on a single person.

As the saying went, the law did not punish the masses. Naturally, no one had any reservations.

Seeing everyone nod, Dai Huabin said nothing and simply turned to walk toward the other side.

Li Qingming truly did not care about Dai Huabin's arrogance.

After all, others might not know, but he knew that Wang Dong had already broken through to three rings.

Even though Wang Dong had not told him, according to the original timeline, Wang Dong should already have broken through. Not to mention that he had become far more diligent in cultivation after following Li Qingming.

With both of them at three rings, facing the three-ring Dai Huabin and the two-ring Zhu Lu, they were almost guaranteed to win this match.

At that thought, a faint smile appeared on Li Qingming's face.

As the competition began and both sides took the field, Zhou Yi swept her gaze over the students.

Since they were all from her class, even though she knew about the match between the two sides, she did not say anything.

After all, Dai Huabin and the others had not gone to Class Two yet. They were still on Class One's side.

Still, Zhou Yi was quite interested in this sort of wager between children, so after one glance, she turned her attention directly to the four of them.

At Zhou Yi's blatant behavior, Dai Huabin gave a cold snort and took the first step forward.

Seeing him step up, Li Qingming, Wang Dong, and Zhu Lu said nothing.

As Dai Huabin took the field first, Wang Dong secretly glanced at Li Qingming.

"I'll tell you a secret. I've already broken through to three rings."

"I'm confident I can challenge a thousand-year soul beast. As long as I defeat one, my guaranteed score will be around 130, definitely higher than Zhu Lu's."

"And you can defeat a thousand-year soul beast too. Then the two of us combined will score more than 260 points, definitely higher than Dai Huabin and the others."

"How about you go first this time?"

"Then I'll go after you. Let's give him a surprise, how about it?"

Wang Dong smiled as he spoke, excitement on his face. However, Li Qingming shook his head.

"You go first. There's no need to give them some so-called surprise. It'll be more interesting to make them despair completely."

Li Qingming spoke with a smile on his face, but the malice in his eyes was utterly undisguised.

If he was going to humiliate them, he would humiliate them thoroughly.

Weren't they gambling?

Then Wang Dong would go first and let the weakness Dai Huabin had originally seen score the highest points. Only then would they compete. That would be much more interesting.

Hearing Li Qingming's words, confusion flashed through Wang Dong's eyes, but after thinking about it, he nodded. "Then I'll go first. It's a good chance to see exactly what kind of strength Dai Huabin has."

After saying that, Wang Dong took two steps forward first.

Seeing Wang Dong go first, Zhu Lu glanced at Li Qingming but said nothing.

As Dai Huabin directly slaughtered that thousand-year soul beast in an exceedingly brutal manner, he stood there with his entire body covered in blood, staring venomously at Li Qingming and Wang Dong.

At this moment, he simply wanted to humiliate the two of them.

After all, in a few days, he would send people to kill them outright. Since they were two dead men, naturally he would first humiliate them before they died.

Coincidentally, Li Qingming harbored the same thought as Dai Huabin.

It was not that Li Qingming was narrow-minded. Rather, whenever he could take something to the extreme, he would do so. He would absolutely not leave himself any possibility of being avenged.

Before Dai Huabin had even stepped down, Wang Dong directly went up onstage.

Dai Huabin glanced at Wang Dong, then silently returned to his original position.

Smelling the blood on Dai Huabin, Zhu Lu looked at him, her expression somewhat complicated.

She was finding it harder and harder to understand her fiancé, and a feeling of disgust had also risen in her heart.

After all, Dai Huabin had recently been provoking everyone constantly. Though the bond between them was deep, Dai Huabin's lack of respect for her, coupled with his provocative behavior, left Zhu Lu with little goodwill toward him.

As she thought, Zhu Lu first looked at Dai Huabin, then turned her head to look at the handsome young man standing there.

In terms of appearance alone, Dai Huabin could not compare to Li Qingming before her, especially since both of them had golden hair.

If Dai Huabin's gaze carried the bloodthirst of a beast, giving others a cruel and domineering feeling, then Li Qingming's golden eyes contained pure nobility and indifference.

This feeling could not be judged as better or worse.

One was like a blood-soaked beast, while the other was like a noble angel. The contrast between them left Zhu Lu's heart in slight turmoil.

Meanwhile, Wang Dong had already made his choice.

Seeing Wang Dong choose a thousand-year soul beast, Dai Huabin deeply frowned, and Zhu Lu, who had still been lost in thought, looked over as well.

Seeing the smile and pride on Wang Dong's face, Dai Huabin's brow furrowed even deeper.

Then, the next second, as a giant wolf entirely covered in dark green fur appeared, Wang Dong stepped forward. One yellow and two purple soul rings descended around him, and immediately afterward, his third soul ring suddenly lit up.

Wang Dong raised a hand and lightly brushed through his pink-blue hair. He turned his head to look at Dai Huabin, and then his third soul ring suddenly lit up.

His third soul skill, Butterfly God Slash, activated in an instant. The terrifying attack came crashing down, sending the thousand-year soul beast fleeing in utter panic. Without the slightest pause, it rushed back toward its cage.

Feeling the terror of that strike, many students around them were astonished.

Li Qingming and Wang Dong's pairing, especially, naturally drew the attention of the girls in the class and many others. The two of them were both top-tier handsome men, after all.

Thus, as they watched Wang Dong, quite a few people cried out in surprise. Wang Dong merely smiled, then turned and walked back.

His gaze was also fixed directly on Dai Huabin, his eyes filled with provocation.

As their gazes met, a gloomy look flashed through Dai Huabin's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.

The moment Wang Dong revealed his three-ring strength, he understood that this wager was already over.

He knew that Zhu Lu was only at two rings. Although her rank had reached level 28, she still needed at least another month or two before reaching three rings.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Zhu Lu to defeat a thousand-year soul beast.

However, when he thought of the match's outcome, Dai Huabin gritted his teeth. He stared at Zhu Lu, a trace of reluctance flashing through his eyes, but he still said coldly:

"How about you challenge a thousand-year soul beast too? As long as you can hold on, your score should break 100 and exceed 100 points."

"Then perhaps you and I might still have a chance..."
