Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#458 - Chapter 457: A Glorious Battle

“Hahaha, usually you all act like wooden blocks, but when it comes to the critical moment, not a single one of you fails to deliver. I really underestimated you!” Zhou Xian said with a chuckle.

“The acting was so natural that if I hadn't known the truth beforehand, I probably would have believed it!”

“When I saw Zhou Xueshan fully activating his superpower at the time, I thought he was going to get serious. I didn't expect it was all an act!”

“To be able to control superpowers to such a subtle and precise degree, this Zhou Xueshan is indeed impressive.”

“You're all drama queens!”

The others sitting next to Zhou Xian chimed in, but what they didn't know was that this group of drama queens were like ants on a hot pot at this moment, with every minute and every second being an unbearable torment.

“Damn it, how could you be instantly killed by one punch?”

“You have the nerve to say that to me? Weren't you instantly killed by one punch?”

“Zhou Xueshan, how can you compare yourself to me? You couldn't even withstand Li Chenqiu's opening move when you went all out. What a disgrace!”

“That's right. If you had been able to test Li Chenqiu's strength at the time and loudly reminded Zhou Xian, would we have been so passive?”

“I was instantly killed by one punch, how could I test it!?”

“It's over, it's over. If Zhou Xian faces Li Chenqiu, he probably won't be able to withstand a single punch seventy or eighty percent of the time. What do we do now!”

“I suggest everyone go out and buy an ear pick now. After all, people can't be touched when they're picking their ears.”

……

The seventh challenger came on stage and repeated the pre-arranged routine, getting punched out of the Spirit Illusion Realm.

Seeing this scene, Li Bai, who was sitting in the audience, swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

“Each time he manages to avoid his opponent's attack by a hair's breadth, striking later to gain the upper hand and winning with a single blow. This kid's true strength has probably reached the Nine Forbidden level. What a freak!”

Ying Yi, who was usually unreadable, also showed a shocked expression on his face.

Li Bai propped his head up with one hand and said in disbelief, “Six Forbidden with the strength of Nine Forbidden, how does that even make sense?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he may have already reached the Seven Forbidden.”

“Seven Forbidden?” Li Bai turned his head. “Are you kidding me? Didn't he just break through to Six Forbidden?”

“That was a month ago. How can you be sure that he hasn't broken through again in this month?” Ying Yi's gaze was deep.

“This… I believe that he can improve his body's functions to his own limit within a month, but I don't believe that he can break through in a month. How can mental breakthroughs be so easy?” Li Bai frowned and retorted.

Ying Yi continued, “You know about the Linglong Tower being cleared, right!”

“Of course I know about that. A person with the code name 'Qiu'…” Li Bai's voice suddenly stopped.

Ying Yi turned his head, his deep gaze falling on Li Chenqiu: “If nothing unexpected happens, this 'Qiu' is very likely Li Chenqiu.”

“I don't think so. You and I know the difficulty of the eighth floor. With the strength Li Chenqiu has shown, it's impossible for him to defeat that guy!”

“How do you know that what you saw was all of Li Chenqiu?”

Ying Yi's words echoed in Li Bai's ears like a demonic sound. He turned his gaze back and began to re-examine Li Chenqiu.

On the field, after taking care of his opponent, Li Chenqiu rotated his wrist, a hint of puzzlement in his eyebrows.

He's already shown such strong strength, yet the opponent still dares to come on stage and say harsh words. Is this some kind of Zhou family tradition?

Li Chenqiu shook his head, suppressed these unnecessary thoughts, and raised his head to shout loudly: “Next one.”

No one responded. The field fell into a deathly silence, extremely oppressive, as if everything had come to a standstill.

Clap clap clap——

A round of applause came from the east stands, immediately attracting everyone's attention—it was Zhou Xian clapping.

A smile played on his lips, his eyes carrying three parts carelessness and seven parts appreciation. He crossed his legs, his posture lazy and casual, his whole person exuding unparalleled confidence.

“That's Senior Zhou. That's right, we still have Senior Zhou!”

“There's still a chance, we still have a chance. Senior Zhou said he would win!”

“The people from the Li and Ying families haven't made a move either. Who wins and who loses is still uncertain!”

The students' eyes lit up again.

On the field, several large question marks popped up on Li Chenqiu's head.

Does this guy have a problem with his brain? He's already had seven of his own people beaten down by me, and he can still laugh?

Zhou Xian didn't know what Li Chenqiu was thinking. Under the gaze of the entire audience, he put down his arm and slowly smiled:

“No wonder you were able to become a Disciplinary Chief at such a young age. You're really strong. You don't even need to use your superpower, you can easily resolve battles with just your physical body. Amazing, truly amazing!”

Li Chenqiu said impatiently, “Are you going to fight or not?”

“Heh heh heh~~~” Zhou Xian rested his elbow on his knee, covered his mouth and chuckled: “You seem very confident, which makes me want to move my muscles and bones a bit.”

Li Chenqiu waved his hand at the other party speechlessly: “Then come down quickly.”

“If I don't act the part well, how can I come down.”

Zhou Xian replied in his heart, but the expression on his face was still light and breezy, and he replied lightly: “When I saw you, I always had a strange sense of familiarity, probably because I used to be as arrogant as you!”

As he spoke, he supported himself on his knees and stood up, unhurriedly walking to the first row of the east stands and standing still.

“I have to admit, your strength is indeed very strong. If I hadn't come today, relying only on Ying Gu and Li Yu'an, you might really be able to do whatever you want. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world, and I have come.”

The corners of Zhou Xian's mouth curled up slightly, and he spread his hands, revealing a helpless look.

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Li Yu'an's mouth twitched slightly, and ten thousand horses galloped through his heart.

“Senior Zhou, our star points depend on you!”

“You must win!”

“Senior Zhou, add oil, we believe in you!!!”

“Please let this skin-peeling person who eats meat and doesn't spit out bones pay the price!”

A plant hidden in the audience shouted loudly, completely stirring up the atmosphere on the field.

For a time, everyone was calling Zhou Xian's name, and countless expectant eyes were focused on him.

“Can you hurry up!” Li Chenqiu urged.

Zhou Xian's eyebrows and eyes bent slightly: “Li Chenqiu, I long to fight against the strong. Those guys who I once regarded as opponents, after being defeated by me, could no longer muster any fighting spirit when facing me.

I don't want you to become like this either, because in my opinion, you are a very promising person. Perhaps one day in the future, you will catch up with me. I look forward to that day. My superpower is…”

“Enough, if you want to fight, then fight quickly. If you don't want to fight, then go back!” Zhou Mo, standing on the edge of the square, scolded.

Zhou Xian paused, smiled lightly, and continued: “Since that's the case, I won't waste everyone's time. It's better to end this farce sooner. Li Chenqiu, remember this battle, it will be your glory.”
