Chapter 131: Ulterior Motives



When he saw that Shi Yu had completely suppressed Di Jun by injuring himself, he knew that the battle situation had been reversed.

“Xiaoke, Xiaoke, I underestimated you…” mumbled Savage Wolf, his voice filled with indescribably complex emotions.

……

“Once a pack of wolves runs into a group of fearless strong people, it has already lost in terms of boldness. Although this isn’t a war, that kind of situation is very commonly seen in wars.”

In the temporary 39th Campground, the middle-aged fatty let out a sigh of relief. It was unknown what he remembered from the past, but he suddenly looked emotional. “If we hadn’t run into those fearless lunatics from the Darkness Kingdom back then…”

“Don’t bring that up again!” Xiaoke interrupted, a deep frown creasing her brows. Her gaze was still on the light screen as though she didn’t want to remember the past incident. But when she saw Lin Xun, Shi Yu and Ning Meng risk everything and fight for their lives, how could she control her emotions?

Back then, she, Xu Sanqi, and the middle-aged fatty were still young and had just completed the training in the Blood Kill Camp. They also possessed such boldness and courage.

It was just that…

Xiaoke suddenly felt a piercing pain in her heart. She tried to shake it off with a violent toss of her head. She didn’t want to think about it anymore.

Only very few people knew that it was that incident back then that made her unable to forgive her older sister Xiaoman.

……

Di Jun lost consciousness after the disastrous defeat, and although Shi Yu was critically wounded, his fighting strength was just as terrifying. The melee did indeed begin to change once he joined Ning Meng’s battle.

After a short while, Ning Meng thrust his halberd into the abdomen of one of the opponents. The opponent was sent flying across tens of feet before losing consciousness.

Almost at the same time, Shi Yu swept his pair of bronze maces across the air and knocked one of the opponents out.

“I’m going to help Lin Xun. I leave the remaining two to you!” Shi Yu turned around without any hesitation and darted towards Lin Xun.

“Little White Face, what makes you think you can order me about?” Ning Meng cursed out loud but he didn’t slow down his moves and fiercely charged toward the two remaining opponents.

At this point in the battle, the situation had been completely reversed, and Ning Meng, who was already mentally prepared to be eliminated from the battlefield, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the battle wasn’t over yet. He wouldn’t go easy on the remaining two.

……

On the other side, Gong Ming had already fled by the time Shi Yu rushed over.

In other words, Gong Ming realized that the situation had changed when Di Jun suffered a disastrous defeat and he promptly decided to retreat when he saw that Ning Meng had resolved his crisis.

It was difficult for Lin Xun to stop him from fleeing given his current strength, so he had no choice but to helplessly watch him run away.

“That little turtle is very cunning!” Shi Yu smiled coldly, feeling very bitter. Gong Ming had been pestering him since the start of the assessment and made him unable to acquire even one nameplate yet. This was a huge humiliation for Shi Yu.

Naturally, he hated the ‘culprit’ Gong Ming even more because of that.

However, Shi Yu couldn’t dwell on it too much because Lin Xun suddenly collapsed to the ground with a thud and was gasping for breath.

He was riddled with bruises and cuts, and he felt a throbbing pain in every inch of his bones like they were about to snap. His aeth power was almost exhausted and his body was at its limit; his condition was extremely bad.

If it wasn’t for his strong perseverance, he would have lost consciousness already.

“Take a good rest. As long as I, Shi Yu, am around, I won't let anyone lay their fingers on you!” Seeing the tragic state that Lin Xun was in made Shi Yu think about their sufferings. Gratitude and appreciation suddenly filled his heart.

Panting, Lin Xun said with a smile, “I didn’t help you to make you grateful. I just don’t want our 39th Campground to be eliminated.”

“Hey, I didn’t expect you to have such a great sense of honor.” Shi Yu chuckled, shaking his head. He turned around and began to search Di Jun’s body for nameplates.

On the other side, Ning Meng flew into a rage. “Little White Face, can you come over here and help first?”

“Oh, Young Master Ning Meng has to ask for help? What a rare sight.” Shi Yu remarked in a relaxed manner.

“Little White Face, you’re so shameless. If I hadn’t saved you, you would have been eliminated already!” Ning Meng cursed in fury.

Lin Xun listened to them quarrel while he lay on the ground, his mind relaxed for a rare moment. There were less than ten minutes until the end of the assessment. It’s finally over…

It was then that a clear and resounding whistle rang in the distance—

"Hey! There’s indeed a fight here. Ning Meng, Shi Yu, don’t worry. We will come to help you!”

Following the voice, Qi Can, Wen Mingxiu, Xin Wenbin, and Mu Lengxin were racing over from the jungle in the distance.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes. They didn’t come sooner or later but appeared at this moment. Who would believe that they just happened to pass by?

Shi Yu curled a corner of his lips in a sneer and slowly stood up.

Ning Meng roared, “Who the hell needs you to help us. Get lost!”

As he was speaking, he increased his attack power and pushed the two remaining students from the 40th Campground into imminent danger.

Qi Can just smiled in response to Ning Meng, while the faces of Wen Mingxiu, Xin Wenbin, and Mu Lengxin darkened.

“Mingxiu, Lengxin, go and help him.” Qi Can ordered. “Wen Bin, go and check on Lin Xun’s wounds and help treat them.”

They didn’t care what Lin Xun and the other two wanted and acted like they were eager to help them.

Gleeful joy surged in Xin Wenbin’s heart as he understood Qi Can’s intention. He wanted him to take the opportunity to snatch away the nameplates on Lin Xun!

In the same way, Wen Mingxiu and Mu Lengxin were going to help Ning Meng and take a share of the spoils.

It didn’t matter whether Lin Xun and the other two agreed or not. They had come to help them. Moreover, Lin Xun and the other two were severely wounded so they posed no threat to them. They couldn’t disagree with what Qi Can wanted.

In short, Qi Can and the others came to take advantage of students from the same campground as them.

Aren’t they a bit too shameless?

Indeed, even Instructor Xiaoke couldn’t do anything if she learned about how they did something like that under the false pretense of helping.

It was because Lin Xun understood this that the hatred in his heart became even stronger. But he had no strength to stand up, let alone stop them. Gong Ming had almost shattered all the bones in his body with his club and left him with severe injuries. How would he have the energy to stop them?

What he felt most helpless about was that there were only a few minutes until the end of the assessment yet such a change had occurred. Anyone would feel aggrieved.

“I appreciate your kindness but I decline.”

Shi Yu suddenly stepped forward and swept an indifferent glance over Qi Can and the others. “If you don’t understand, I can say it more bluntly—If you want to take advantage of us, step over my body first!”

His voice was resounding and resolute.

Qi Can’s expressions altered subtly, and the others were also hesitant to act.

They knew who Shi Yu was and they knew that Shi Yu had a gentle and easygoing personality. He was rarely bothered about anything but he had suddenly become so ruthless and determined.

Even if Shi Yu was riddled with wounds, he was still one of the strongest in the 39th Campground, so no one dared to ignore his stance.

Qi Can shot a glance at the distance and saw that Ning Meng had already got rid of the remaining two opponents. He couldn’t help but feel a little upset and disappointed to have missed such a good opportunity.

With that thought, Qi Can said, “If that's the case, then never mind. But Lin Xun looks badly injured. It’s better to tend to his wounds early.”

The meaning of his sentence was obvious. Fine, we will not take advantage of Shi Yu and Ning Meng, but we have to take advantage of Lin Xun!

“Yes, that’s correct!” Xin Wenbin fiercely nodded, unable to contain the wild joy in his heart. He had never thought that he could torture Lin Xun with his own hands after yesterday how Lin Xun humiliated him to the point that he couldn’t lift his head up. Luck was directly brought to his door!

He had already decided to take away the nameplates on Lin Xun and take the

chance to give Lin Xun a slap in the face!

After all, there wasn’t any rule that forbade them from attacking each other in the monthly assessment!

He didn’t care even if Instructor Xiaoke punished him afterward. I doubt Instructor Xiaoke would eliminate me from the camp.

Xin Wenbin impatiently rushed towards Lin Xun.

The expressions on the faces of Shi Yu and Ning Meng changed at the same time, but they also noticed that Qi Can, Wen Mingxiu, and Mu Lengxin had already locked their eyes on them from afar. Their hearts sank because they knew that Qi Can would definitely jump out and stop them from helping Lin Xun.

These guys deserve to die!

Shi Yu and Ning Meng were filled with hatred. If we weren't severely wounded, we wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.

However, Shi Yu and Ning Meng absolutely wouldn’t watch Lin Xun suffer. They wouldn’t hesitate to stop them even if it meant they would have to fight Qi Can!

However, just when the two were preparing to act, an ear-piercing whistle rang from the jungle not too far away. It seemed that some kind of terrifying force was whizzing across the air, heading their way with incredible speed.

Everyone’s countenance changed. The noise was very familiar. It was a very famous aeth tool in the empire—The Armor-Piercing Blood Crossbow!

With a pff, an arrow shot right through Xin Wenbin’s thigh and a jet of blood spurted out and splattered across the air. He hadn’t even neared Lin Xun yet.

Xin Wenbin let out an anguished scream and was blasted to the ground several meters away, looking extremely miserable.

Unfortunately for him, Shi Yu was standing where he fell with the faintest trace of a smile on his lips. Shi Yu suddenly yelled, “Enemies are attacking. Everyone, quickly hide. I will shield Young Master Xin!”

He suddenly leaned over Xin Wenbin. Although he said ‘shield’, he knocked Xin Wenbin out without any hesitation, searched his body and took the nameplates on him.

If Xin Wenbin was conscious, he would have spurted out blood in rage.
