Le Mu Lan returned to the Violet Cloud High School resting area and saw Lian Tianji kneeling on the ground.

She walked up to him and directly used Lian Tianji as a small stool, sitting on his back.

This was her punishment for Lian Tianji’s failure. For the next three days, as long as he appeared before her, he had to serve as her stool.

Lian Tianji asked, “It’s over so quickly?”

He had watched the battle between Bai Zhenzhen and Xiong Wenwu. Although Bai Zhenzhen’s data wasn’t great, her actual combat ability was extremely strong, and she could always see through her opponent’s weaknesses. Lian Tianji originally thought that Bai Zhenzhen could force the school’s number one prodigy to use a few more moves.

Le Mu Lan frowned, kicked Lian Tianji’s body with her raised right foot, and said indifferently, “The stool should not speak.”

Lian Tianji immediately closed his mouth.

However, Le Mu Lan still added, “She doesn’t have the money for treatment. Although even if she did, it would just be a waste of time.”

Lian Tianji instantly understood, but that’s how the world was. Money was also part of strength, and a lack of money was also a manifestation of weakness.

Bai Zhenzhen was poor, and…

Lian Tianji thought, “It is only right that the poor lose to the rich.”

Just then, Zhang Yu and Song Hailong stepped onto the stage one after another.

Lian Tianji slowly moved his head, aiming his gaze at the direction of the arena.

After being defeated, there are often two ways to respond.

Either say that you were careless.

Or boast that the opponent was too strong.

The former seems more ugly, while the latter is more respectable.

So Lian Tianji also wanted to choose the latter.

“If Zhang Yu wins against Song Hailong, maybe I can get my advertising deal back…”

After all, this way, it would change from ‘defeated by a Songyang student’ to ‘narrowly lost to a finalist’.

“Go for it, Zhang Yu!”

Chu Qiuhe, in the White Dragon High School resting area, was also cheering for Zhang Yu in his heart. He even couldn’t help secretly cursing Song Hailong.

Although as a White Dragon person, he was very clear about Song Hailong’s terror, he still couldn’t help but have a glimmer of delusion in his heart: “Maybe? Maybe he’ll be careless and accidentally lose? Song Hailong… only if you lose, will everyone have face.”

As Song Hailong spread his arms on the arena, raising his hands high, a tsunami-like cheer immediately came from the audience.

“Song Hailong! Number one!”

“Song Hailong! Number one!”

Listening to the uniform shouts of the White Dragon people, Zhao Tianxing only felt that Zhang Yu on the arena was so isolated and helpless at this moment.

He couldn’t help but think, “Should we also cheer for Zhang Yu?”

But when he said this idea, he saw He Dayou next to him quickly turn his head away, pretending not to hear.

Qian Shen also said embarrassedly, “Let’s forget it, this is White Dragon’s territory after all.”

Looking at the White Dragon people’s roaring cheers over there, Zhao Tianxing’s original idea of cheering for Zhang Yu gradually subsided.

And thinking that he felt incredibly nervous just watching from afar, he could hardly imagine how much pressure Zhang Yu, who was actually standing on the stage, must be feeling.

On the arena.

As Song Hailong clenched his right fist, the cheers in the audience immediately disappeared, and the entire scene returned to silence.

Song Hailong looked at Zhang Yu and laughed loudly, “I really didn’t expect that a kid from Songyang could fight his way through so many opponents to reach the top four.”

“As a reward, I’ll help you lower the difficulty of this battle.”

As he spoke, he saw Song Hailong smoothing down his hedgehog hair. The next moment, a set of numbers appeared on his forehead.

10 million?

While Zhang Yu was wondering in his heart, Song Hailong directly answered his question, “This is a function that comes with my external spirit root, which can display my medical insurance limit.”

“My current medical insurance limit is 10 million. If you can use up all of this 10 million treatment budget, I’ll admit defeat.”

Good fellow, you’re showing your health bar, right? Zhang Yu stared closely at the number, starting to think about the impact on the upcoming battle.

However, thinking that the opponent’s insurance was enough to cover 10 million in treatment, while his own was only enough for 100,000… no, now only 70,000 of injuries were covered, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but feel a burst of helplessness.

But the next moment, he had already used the mental cultivation method of the Heaven Martial Tempering Heart Technique, suppressing all kinds of negative emotions, raising his fighting spirit, and wholeheartedly immersing himself in the battle before him.

And in the audience, because Song Hailong’s physique was too strong, his voice always shook the entire arena, allowing many viewers to hear and see. At this moment, it caused a burst of exclamations and praises.

“As expected of White Dragon’s number one student, his insurance has a full 10 million quota!”

“He’s so rich, no wonder his grades are so good!”

“Nonsense, how can the poor be as excellent as Song Hailong?”

“Song Hailong’s monthly test scores are the highest, and he’s so rich. I think the martial arts competition champion should be given to him directly!”

And on the arena, Song Hailong waved to Zhang Yu, “You go first. If I make a move, you might not have a chance.”

Looking at Song Hailong’s unguarded appearance, Zhang Yu tentatively struck out with a palm carrying the Formless Cloud Force, hitting the opponent’s chest fiercely.

With a cracking sound, a palm powerful enough to split monuments and crack rocks was printed on Song Hailong’s body, but Zhang Yu felt like he was hitting a large piece of rubber tire.

Not only did the opponent not retreat at all, but even the 10 million on his forehead only decreased by 300.

Zhang Yu remembered Lei Jun introducing him to the Elephant Tendon Body: “This Song Hailong has been implanted with the muscles of an elephant demon. The mana passes through the elephant demon’s muscles and can be directly used to strengthen the physical body, making his strength and resistance to blows impossible to estimate with common sense.”

“Plus, his physical strength is already far above mine, and there’s also the protective effect of the external spirit root ‘Body Nurturing Spirit Root’…”

Obviously, because of Song Hailong’s strong physique, he didn’t suffer much damage even after taking Zhang Yu’s palm.

At the same time, Song Hailong shook his head and said, “This palm only cost me 300. The power is too weak.”

“Give it some power, bro. If you keep doing this, even if I just stand here and let you hit me, how long would it take you to use up this 10 million?”

A few more palms struck Song Hailong’s vital parts, but it still felt like hitting a rubber tire. Although Song Hailong’s body trembled slightly, the numbers on his forehead added up… only decreased by a little more than 2,000.

What was even more surprising… was that in the next moment, the numbers on Song Hailong’s forehead actually showed signs of recovery.

The original 2,300 or so that should have been deducted gradually turned into a little over 2,000 deducted.

Seeming to notice the change in Zhang Yu’s gaze, Song Hailong laughed and pointed to the numbers on his forehead, saying, “Is it going back up again?”

“Sorry, sorry, the combat spirit root I’m using this time is not an ordinary Body Nurturing Spirit Root, but a deluxe version.”

“In addition to being able to enhance my physical strength and resistance to blows, this spirit root can also continuously absorb spiritual energy from the air, allowing the injuries on my body to gradually heal on their own.”

Looking at Zhang Yu’s increasingly solemn expression, Song Hailong laughed loudly, “Aren’t you going to make a move? If you don’t hurry, it’s going to go back up to 10 million again.”

Listening to Song Hailong’s loud words, whether it was the numerous spectators in the audience or the contestants from various schools around the arena, they all felt as if they saw countless amounts of money pressing down on the two of them.

It made everyone feel that that 10 million was like a city wall that could never be broken through, blocking Zhang Yu’s path and leaving him with no chance of victory.

“If you don’t come, then I will.”

The two-and-a-half-meter-tall Song Hailong stretched out his large hand, grabbing towards Zhang Yu like a dragon’s claw.

Mana directly strengthened his strength and physique through the muscles of the elephant demon, allowing him to not even need too many moves. Just this brute force alone was enough to sweep through the first year.

Feeling the overwhelming claw momentum, Zhang Yu was not panicked at all.

“The difference in data is too great. It’s difficult to defeat him with my own strength alone.”

“The only way is to use his strength to defeat him. Defensive counterattack is my battle style.”

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking this, bracing himself with the Formless Cloud Force on his arms to meet Song Hailong, he found that the opponent’s claw momentum changed, and he had already unleashed a set of grappling techniques.

“Grappling?”

“More than that…”

In a state of full concentration, Zhang Yu watched every inch of the opponent’s grasping posture change, quickly dodging and using the Formless Cloud Force to block.

He quickly discovered that Song Hailong was using a set of grappling and wrestling martial arts.

It was the expert-level martial art that Song Hailong practiced, Back Dragon Mountain Flipping Hand, level 1 activated!

This was an expert-level martial art that used pure physical violence to promote grappling and wrestling.

And for Song Hailong, who had been implanted with the muscles of an elephant demon, all of his mana was used to strengthen his physical body. This martial art, which was purely driven by physical violence, was incredibly suitable for him.

Although Song Hailong’s martial skills were not strong because he put more energy into other areas, and this technique, even if not difficult, was only at level 1.

But relying on that incomparably strong physique, coupled with this level 1 grappling and wrestling martial art, it was enough for Song Hailong to crush experts of the same level.

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt this pressure. In a state of full concentration, he could feel that the opponent’s hands were like a large net, gradually enveloping him completely, and then throwing him to the ground, completely subduing him.

“Wants to play wrestling with me? Ground techniques?”

Zhang Yu, who didn’t have any related skills, naturally didn’t want to fall to the ground and grapple with the opponent, then compete in physical strength and ground techniques.

He was like a small swimming fish, narrowly escaping from Song Hailong’s overwhelming net time and time again.

But finally…

“Got you.”

Song Hailong suddenly squeezed Zhang Yu’s arm tightly, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

But at the moment when he and Zhang Yu exerted force at the same time, they saw Zhang Yu roar.

The Formless Cloud Force that was originally only covering the palms suddenly surged, actually spreading to the elbow area, and then slipped out of Song Hailong’s palm like a loach.

Below the arena, Lian Tianji’s body shook, and he was shocked in his heart: “In the face of desperation, his Limitless Cloud Hand has broken through again? Level 5? This Zhang Yu is truly a martial arts prodigy.”
