Chapter 50
There were even some girls who made eye contact with him with their eyes filled with hearts before shyly lowering their heads.
The looks in their eyes were even more desperate than before this.
Sure enough, a good looking face is much more attractive, isn’t it?
Li Rui pinched his cheeks and laughed while shaking his head.
When he arrived at the school gate, even more people stared at him.
Some knew him while others didn’t, but all of them gossiped and talked about him.
“OMG, he looks so cute!”
“He’s wearing our uniform! Which class is he from? How come I don’t remember him?”
“That’s the captain of the school team!”
“Captain of the school team? Li Rui?”
“Did he put on makeup today? He’s glowing!”
…
The surrounding students subconsciously moved aside as if they were stunned by Li Rui’s charisma, and none of them dared to get close to him.
The result was already so obvious within a day. Are mortals usually this sensitive to Transcendents?
Or is it because I don’t know how to control my energy?
Otherwise, Brother Lei’s oppressive aura would be a few times stronger than mine!
Li Rui walked into the school with no expression while thinking to himself about the changes he was experiencing.
However, they were still some people who had not realized his changes. Suddenly, there was a sock on his back which caused him to stagger.
“Yo! Captain! Why are you so early today?”
“Luo Li, get down.”
The looks around him were inexplicably ten times stronger, and Li Rui couldn’t help but feel a little awkward with everyone staring at him.
“No way, did you put on cologne today? You smell so nice!”
Li Rui seemed to have heard the sounds of countless hearts breaking, but he wasn’t enjoying it as much as they imagined. Instead, he felt a breath of cool air sweeping back and forth across his neck, as if there were a blade.
Then, he heard someone swallowing!
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that… Luo Li is a vampire!
Her love for the human neck is the same as his love for drumsticks. What if she really bit him?
Although he believed that Luo Li would never harm him, Li Rui couldn’t help become tense.
“I don’t use cologne. Luo Li, get down first!”
He reached toward his neck and tried to pull away the arms wrapped around his neck, but before Li Rui could pull them off… he felt something wrong as his hands ran across the side of his neck.
F**k! She already had!
A chilly feeling ran down Li Rui’s spine and he almost threw Luo Li over his shoulder.
Li Rui no longer cared about how she was struggling. He immediately pulled her off of his back and carefully maintained a distance of two meters between them.
“Just one bite, let me try…”
Noticing that every time she took a step closer, Li Rui would move a step back, Luo Li couldn’t help but frown and feel wronged.
“Come on, just one bite wouldn’t hurt!”
Li Rui was not convinced and tried to maintain the distance between them.
“Eh? Brother Rui, Luo Li, why are two of you standing so far away?”
A very familiar yellow-haired head appeared next to him and pushed Li Rui towards Luo Li.
Huang Juncai even secretly gave him a thumbs-up with a look on his face that said, ‘Bro, this is the best that I can do for you’, and was crazily tweaking his eyebrows.
Li Rui wanted to kill him this instant!
Luo Li immediately held onto Li Rui’s arm. Now, he could no longer escape!
Luckily, both of them were not in the same class so Luo Li was forced to let go of him when they arrived at the classroom building.
Li Rui swore that the look Luo Li had while looking at him was exactly the same way that Li Wei looked at her dessert!
The idea of her looking at him like a desert was bloody horrifying!
Li Rui trembled upon the thought and transferred all of the rage in him onto a yellow-haired head sitting next to him.
“Hold on, Brother Rui, what are you doing? Wait, wait, calm down!”
“What the f**k! Someone save me!”
“GET AWAY FROM ME AHHHHHHH!!!!”
A terrified scream echoed in the school hallway and it almost drowned the sound of the school bell.
…
“Kid, do you have makeup on today?”
“No, I only took a shower this morning. Oh, by the way, you were looking for me, right?”
Li Rui smoothly changed the topic as he has already been asked the same question over and over again since the early morning.
“Oh yes, the championships are starting the day after tomorrow. How are you feeling? Are you confident about it?”
Coach Chen Bing finally remembered his motives and asked seriously.
“Hmm… I can’t say that I’ll be the national champion, but I definitely won’t let you down!”
Li Rui firmly nodded his head which answered the coach’s expectations.
“I’m not asking you for any glorious results, but you have to make sure that you enter the genius category by next year! By the way, do you know your current ranking?”
“I do.”
Li Rui nodded his head awkwardly.
His current national ranking was 970,000 which meant that he was among the bottom few of all of the martial art students.
And the genius category that Coach had mentioned was to be in the top one thousand students.
According to the international rules of how the points are calculated, if he wants to move up to the top thousand ranks from his current rank, there is no room for failure. The only way is to win all of his tournaments.
Not only would he need overpowering physical strength, but he’ll also need a little luck.
Because from what Brother Lei and Luo Li have told him, these martial art geniuses are mostly stuck at the peak of the awakening stage.
They are even some core disciples of certain famous schools or even super-geniuses who broke through the ranks during high school and have become Transcendents.
These people would usually be directly recruited into top martial arts schools and would not participate in these qualifying competitions for high schoolers.
If he could break through the Black Iron Tier…
The fire in Li Rui’s heart was vigorously burning.
Previously, he felt that he still had a long way to go before reaching the Black Iron Tier, but ever since he had gotten [The Eternal Indestructible Tribulation], he believed that as long as he had a sufficient amount of tournaments, he would be able to advance within a year’s time!
Of course, this could only be achieved once his body could withstand the amount of practice that he would be having every day.
As he thought about this, he felt pain in his stomach.
Gold coins, money, experience… he was short on all of the things that he needed. If he had a game modifier, he would definitely adjust all these to an unlimited value!
“That’s true, your raking is a little low, but you don’t have to worry about it much. It’s very easy to accumulate points in the beginning. If you win everything tomorrow, you can at least jump a couple of thousand ranks.”
“Are the matchings done tomorrow?”
“Yes, the Individual Champion League and the National Junior Championship will be released. It is the same stadium, but the [HaiDiLao Championship] will be in a different area. You may have to fight the entire day tomorrow so make sure to save up some energy for tomorrow.”
“[HaiDiLao Championship]? The one that is sponsored by the Hot Pot Corporate?”
“Yup, their qualifying rounds and finals are both held in ShangHai so you don’t have to travel too far. Plus, the prize money is quite a bit and it is a championship with a relatively higher standard.”
T/L note;
HaiDiLao is a famous hotpot chain in China. Can look it up on google if you’re interested!!
