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

#460 - Chapter 459: The End of the Tournament

Like soldiers injected with stimulants, the mass of students from the Star Plucking Academy rose to their feet, shouting at the top of their lungs.

Zhou Mo's expression was unsightly, and he was about to say something when Li Bai's voice preempted him.

"Since Li Chenqiu wants to do this, let him have his way!"

"Success or failure, he alone will bear the consequences. Since he's willing, we should do as he says!" Ying Yi's voice followed closely behind.

Like Li Bai, he wanted to take this opportunity to see where Li Chenqiu's limits lay.

But their expectations were destined to be disappointed. These students were unlikely to probe Li Chenqiu's limits. If the arena were larger, a guerrilla strategy might be possible.

But in such a confined square, the possibility was slim. After all, there was nowhere to hide, and even releasing abilities with eyes closed could hit someone.

Seeing that the two had spoken in agreement, Zhou Mo no longer objected and agreed to Li Chenqiu's proposal.

"If that's the case, then let's begin!"

With that, Zhou Mo's figure flashed and disappeared, returning to his seat.

In the next second, over a hundred students leaped from the stands, landing in the square and unleashing their abilities with all their might, charging towards Li Chenqiu. The dazzling and colorful abilities made the scene extremely spectacular!

"Everyone, don't be afraid! No matter how strong Li Chenqiu is, he's just one person. Let's attack together and overwhelm him with numbers!"

"For the Star Points, charge!"

"Prepare to die, Li, you dog!"

The students' battle cries shook the heavens and the earth, their momentum as vast as the sea. Of course, this was only how it appeared to students from other academies.

In Li Chenqiu's eyes, the only difference between them and chickens or dogs was that they looked like humans.

Whoosh!

Deep red flames soared into the sky, surging towards the students like waves. The dazzling abilities that barely touched the flames were ruthlessly devoured, without causing any ripples or even a collision sound.

The two were not on the same level at all.

But the students were fearless, because they still had many people.

"Everyone, don't be afraid! Li Chenqiu isn't a god; he'll eventually run out of strength!"

"Go up and unleash your ultimate moves; don't hold back!"

"Will it hurt a lot to be instantly killed?"

"You won't feel any pain if you're instantly killed, so just go!"

One after another, the students plunged into the square like dumplings, joining the fierce battle.

At the same time, on the south side of the stands.

Zhou Mo curiously asked, "Do you think this kid can win?"

"I don't know, but in my opinion, the chances of winning are slim." Li Bai shook his head, his eyes fixed on the square.

"I also agree with Lao Bai's view. Although Li Chenqiu's individual strength is very powerful, he's ultimately just a Seventh Restriction. If he uses his abilities so frequently, he'll quickly become exhausted."

"You two actually agree with me… Wait?" Zhou Mo suddenly turned his head, staring at Ying Yi with a surprised expression. "Seventh Restriction? Isn't this kid Sixth Restriction?"

Li Bai patted Zhou Mo's shoulder. "Lao Mo, your information is too outdated. Sixth Restriction was a month ago."

Zhou Mo brushed off the other party's hand and said in disbelief, "This kid isn't a Resurrector; how could he break through so quickly? Besides, this kid has been in the Star Plucking Academy for the past month. Where did he experience a life-or-death crisis?"

Ying Yi smiled speechlessly. "Sometimes I'm really curious how you reached Twelfth Restriction with that brain of yours. The kid's strength is already so heaven-defying; can't you figure out how he broke through?"

Zhou Mo wasn't an idiot. With this hint, he immediately thought of the Linglong Tower being cleared.

"That 'Qiu' is him?"

"Who else could it be?"

Zhou Mo's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and the look in his eyes changed immediately.

Time passed by, and the battle in the square continued, but it was no longer as intense as before.

"Is this guy a monster? He's been fighting for so long, why doesn't he look tired at all?"

"Damn it, he hasn't lost a drop of blood after fighting for so long. Is he using a cheat to lock his health bar?!"

"Who cares? We still have a lot of people!"

If the arena competition had been held a month ago, Li Chenqiu would have likely lost against nearly two thousand students, but now it was a month later.

After devouring Fu Yuesheng's remnant soul, his soul strength had been greatly improved. Using low-intensity abilities for a few hours was not a problem at all.

Coupled with a physical body comparable to Tenth Restriction, he was almost without any weaknesses, and there was no possibility of losing unless Xiang Nanzhi, who was sitting in the audience, went all out.

The battle lasted for a full hour. The front rows of the west stands were basically empty. The neat blue short sleeves were long gone. Looking around, only a hundred or so scattered people remained.

Bang!

Li Chenqiu punched out, blasting the last student in the square, and turned his head to look for the next prey, only to find that he was the only one left on the field.

"Huh?"

Li Chenqiu turned around, looked up at the west stands, and shouted loudly, "What are you waiting for? Keep coming!"

Those students who had not yet entered the arena looked at each other, and no one took a step forward.

Go up and fight? Are you kidding me?

Nearly two thousand students couldn't overwhelm Li Chenqiu. What could they do by going up there? Make up a lucky number like "1999"?

"Is there no one else?"

Li Chenqiu muttered, then turned to look at the east stands and shouted to the wealthy young masters who had not yet entered the arena, "Are you guys still coming?"

Hearing this, Li Yu'an frowned slightly and shouted without turning his head, "Ying Gu, I think Li Chenqiu is exhausted right now. Should we attack together and give it a try?"

There was no response.

"Ying Gu?"

Li Yu'an shouted again.

There was no response.

"Um… Brother Yu'an, the Ying family has already left," someone reminded him.

Li Yu'an was slightly stunned and turned his head in confusion, only to see that the Ying family, who had been sitting not far away, had disappeared without a trace.

"When did they leave?" Li Yu'an asked.

"Uh… It seemed to be when Li Chenqiu instantly killed Zhou Xian."

"How come I didn't know?"

"You didn't look over there!"

Li Yu'an: "…"

"Brother Yu'an, um… are we still going up?"

"Let's save the suspense of whether we'll be instantly killed for next time!"

…

In the end, Li Chenqiu relied on his combat wisdom and experience to win this arena competition with great difficulty!

On the battle square, Xiang Nanzhi, with his hands behind his back and his back hunched, circled around Li Chenqiu, like an old man watching chess in the park, and asked incredulously, "How did you suddenly become so strong?"

Li Chenqiu replied indifferently, "I've always been strong; it's just that you haven't noticed."

"Hey, you…"

Xiang Nanzhi straightened up and was about to say something when a familiar voice came from afar.
