"In other words, the only way is to please them?" Zhou Mingrui looked a bit upset.

"Yes, this is also a benefit that the academy gives to the weak in the tournament. The academy does not forbid them from negotiating benefits from the strong. In fact, it even allows it," Yan Wuyue explained.

"Make it seem like a win-win situation. As expected, it's something the higher-ups of the academy would do," Zhou Mingrui shrugged.

"It's all right. We have a large sum of money from the last auction. And during my last trip home, after my family found out about my performance, they once again shifted their resources heavily towards me."

"So whatever needs to be given should be given. There's no need for us to miss out on this opportunity because of that," Yan Wuyue explained.

Zhou Mingrui was silent for a moment, before he quietly said, "So this conversation wasn't to discuss how to deal with the issue. It was to tell me not to act rashly, because you've got it under control?"

Yan Wuyue nodded gently.

"Boring," Zhou Mingrui straight away stood up and left.

"Did you understand everything I said?" Yan Wuyue hurriedly asked.

"Yes. I'm tired and want to take an afternoon nap. The tournament only starts in the afternoon anyway. Just wake me up when it's time," Zhou Mingrui said with a yawn.

"All right," Yan Wuyue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhou Mingrui did not object.

She was afraid that with Zhou Mingrui's temper, he would get upset at those people and cause problems in the team match. That would be bad.

Time passed quickly, and the second round of the freshmen tournament was about to begin.

On the vast central square sprawling across thousands of square meters, there were many fighting rings, each tens of square meters in size. Beside the fighting rings stood all the students participating in the tournament.

Rows of chairs were placed two meters away from all sides of the rings. On them sat many teachers and school leaders. There was also a group of observers in different attire. It was obvious who they were.

Even further away from the cordon were senior students who had gathered to watch. Although all the participants were freshmen, there were very strong ones among them.

For example, they had heard that one of the freshmen could fight and even kill a silver grade monster. There weren't many second-year students, even, who could do that.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the second round of the tournament will be divided into individual matches and team matches. The rules are on the screen behind me. You may read them carefully."

The dean, who was giving a speech on stage, pointed to the huge screen behind him. On the screen were the rules and prohibitions of the tournament.

Then, after a few meaningless words of encouragement, the drawing of lots for the individual match commenced officially on screen.

Five seconds later, the screen showed the division of 1,500 students into sparring pairs, and their respective fighting ring positions.

"All right. I hope everyone will work hard to show your skills, and achieve even higher rankings!"

After he finished speaking, the dean walked off the podium. Beside each fighting ring, stood a high level student who acted as the referee. And for every five fighting rings there was a teacher patrolling, ready to handle any unexpected situations.

"Yan Wuyue, enter the fighting ring."

A senior student told Yan Wuyue, who had arrived beside the ring.

After entering the fighting ring, Yan Wuyue looked at Zhou Mingrui and said, "Why don't you let me make the first move? You can watch from the side first and conserve your energy."

But before Yan Wuyue could finish speaking, Zhou Mingrui had walked past her, straight to the center of the ring.

"Would you like to give up or let me send you down later? Though you'll suffer more later," Zhou Mingrui looked condescendingly at the student in front of him.

"You...how can I give up so easily!" While shocked at first, the student quickly gritted his teeth and retorted back.

"Fine, don't say I didn't warn you." Having said that, Zhou Mingrui turned towards the high level student referee and said, "We can begin."

"Er, okay." The judge was stunned, and immediately waved his hand, "Begin!"

The student immediately took a few steps back and commanded his summoned spirit. A winged lizard more than two meters long charged at Zhou Mingrui.

Zhou Mingrui remained still. The big lizard opened its mouth wide, and lashed its long tongue out at Zhou Mingrui like a whip.

Pa!

The tongue whip had indeed come into contact with a physical body. But it had been caught in Zhou Mingrui's palm.

The student was stunned. The tongue whip he had summoned was completely capable of shattering a large rock. How could it have been caught so easily?

Before he could react, Zhou Mingrui exerted force in his palm. Instantly, a tremendous force pulled the big lizard off the ground and sent it flying towards him.

The big lizard turned pale with fright, but was tossed away by Zhou Mingrui with a single swing of his arm. It then headed straight for the Summoner.

When he saw how the big lizard crashed into the Summoner and sent him flying out of the ring, the judge took a moment to recover. He then declared Yan Wuyue the winner.

"You don't have to deal with this kind of trash. Just leave them to me," Yan Wuyue said helplessly.

"It's not a bad idea for me to warm up," Zhou Mingrui replied impassively.

"All right."

Yan Wuyue could tell that Zhou Mingrui was in a bad mood, so she did not press further. It would not affect their overall plans anyway.

Following that, two opponents were consecutively defeated by Zhou Mingrui in less than two moves. After three rounds of elimination, there were less than 200 participants left.

"Are you going to continue, or take a break and let me do it?" Yan Wuyue asked, concerned.

To her surprise, Zhou Mingrui approached from behind, covertly pinched her perky buttocks and said, "My dear princess, just leave it to your knight."

"You're so annoying! What are you trying to do with so many people watching?"

Yan Wuyue smacked Zhou Mingrui in anger and said, "Also, you don't look like a knight to me. More like a great demon king kidnapping a princess!"

"Hahaha, I'll be that great demon king then!" Zhou Mingrui burst out laughing.

Just then, the judge in the fighting ring announced, "It's your turn, Yan Wuyue."

Yan Wuyue and Zhou Mingrui entered the ring again. By that time, everyone had become aware of the extraordinary strength of Yan Wuyue's group. Ordinary Summoners were no match for them.

"Boring, let's finish this quickly."

The bored Zhou Mingrui dodged, and was about to kick his opponent out of the ring.

"Big brother, wait. Would you listen to this little sister?"

Just then, a voice came.

"I do not seek victory, but can you give in to me just for a few moves? For example, if you take me down a bit later, I'll give you a reward!"

When he heard that, Zhou Mingrui was taken aback. However, he immediately understood why the opponent did that.

He suddenly stopped, raised his arms with fingers spread out and pushed forward. Phantom energy condensed into a strong gale, which instantly surged towards the front.

The Summoner's summoned spirit immediately transformed into a shield and blocked the gale.

The gale looked strong on the outside, but its power could hardly be felt.

"Five moves for 500,000?"

On hearing that, Zhou Mingrui frowned. The condensed gale suddenly increased in intensity, pushing the Summoner backwards.

"Five moves for 5,000,000?"

The Summoner hurriedly asked.

As expected, the gale weakened again. The Summoner was overjoyed. She immediately converted her summoned spirit into a pair of scissors and started attacking Zhou Mingrui.

"Could you give me two more moves? I'll give you 2,000,000 more!"

Zhou Mingrui was satisfied with that. He withdrew his palm and took a step back to avoid the scissors' sudden attack.

Then with a side step, he changed his direction. He pushed his palm out once more, and a strong gale surged forward.

-_-||

Yan Wuyue's face twitched slightly. Other people might not be aware, but how could she not know Zhou Mingrui's strength?

That guy was obviously going easy on his opponent. But he definitely would not do that on purpose.

Could it be...

Yan Wuyue suddenly realized.
