Chapter 138 (1/2)

There was a quarter of an hour before start of the quarterly assessment, all trainees were waiting quietly, trying to reach their best fighting states.

Opponents in this time were abnormal. Once they were unable to pass the examination, they wound be eliminated from the Bloodthirsty Camp. No one dared to be careless in such circumstances.

Lin Xun was also silently watching the arena in the distance. When he saw the Fire Barbarians imprisoned in the cages, and some information about Fire Barbarians emerged in his mind.

“Hey, the bet was that fellow would be the first to succeed? It’s a great joke!”

A sharp sneer came suddenly.

Lin Xun knew, without looking back, that “that fellow” referred to himself.

He even knew that at this time many trainees around were looking at him with a hint of tease and disdain.

Even Shi Yu and Ning Meng looked anxious and doubtful.

All this was rooted in Young Man’s bet with Shu Sanqi, which spread through the Bloodthirsty Camp overnight and caused an uproar.

And Lin Xun became the most notable trainee in the whole Bloodthirsty Camp. He was at the eye of the storm of various questions and public opinions with disdain.

Even the trainees of Camp 39 were talking about this bet and didn’t think Lin could make it. Although Lin Xun had proved himself through various efforts and his score had ranked among the top ones, most people would not believe that he could be the first trainee to kill a Barbarian Soldier in this quarterly assessment.

In their opinion, this bet was literally a mischief!

In Camp 39, Gong Ming, Shi Yu, Ning Meng and Qi Can, or even Lee Qiu, Mou Lengshin, and Ye Qi were more powerful than Lin Xun. No one believed that Lin Xun could make it under such circumstances!

Most importantly, this was quarterly assessment. It was a contest among twenty camps. There were many overmatches who were much more powerful than Lin in other camps.

Lin Xun was far from comparable to those trainees who had been famous for a long time in the Bloodthirsty Camp, like Bai Lingshi, Zhao Yin, Zhangsun Heng and Lee Duxing.

Nobody really took this bet seriously. It was just like a ridiculous farce. So ridiculous!

Even when Shi Yu and Ning Meng heard the news, they were totally shocked. They seized Lin Xun and questioned him for a long time, wondering if he was a basket case. How could he participate in such an absurd bet?

Lin Xun could say nothing but smile bitterly.

How could he tell them that all this was caused by Young Man?

So at this moment, Lin Xun could only turn a deaf ear to all kinds of sneers coming from time to time.

“Lin Xun, can you really do that?”

Ning Meng got close to Lin Xun undetected and looked Lin Xun up and down, frowning, “Look at you! You have only a saber and an unimpressive crossbow, with no other spiritual equipment. Please come and look around, the others are all armed to the teeth!”

Lin Xun was in a daze, then turned his head and scanned around. Sure enough, except Lin Xun himself, all the other trainees in Camp 39 were covered with all kinds of spiritual equipment, such as armors, shoulder protectors, wrist guards, combat boots, swords, crossbows and bows. Everyone was like a spiritual equipment shelf, releasing bright and dazzling light all over.

“So exaggerated?!” Lin Xun had not observed others carefully before. Now, he was astonished with his eyes wide open that these guys really didn’t begrudge spending so many points in order to pass the quarterly assessment.

Even overmatches like Ning Meng, Shi Yu, and Qi Can equipped themselves well without exception.

Seeing this, Lin Xun sighed with emotion; if this was the real battlefield, as long as he robbed one of these guys of all his spiritual equipment, he would get rich overnight and could afford to buy a house in the Forbidden City.

Ning Meng suddenly felt uneasy when Lin Xun looked at them just like a profiteer stared at a rich customer.

“Are you fucking listening to me on earth?” Ning Meng roared angrily.

“Oh, it’s not a big deal. I have certain confidence in success,” Lin Xun casually said. Although he had no other spiritual equipment except a saber and a crossbow, he was not worried at all.

“I have been fretting about you but you still look absent-minded!” Ning Meng became more and more angry. “Just be careful and try your best. If you fail in this examination, I will beat you to death!”

Then Ning Meng left with anger.

Looking at Ning Meng leave, Lin Xun felt helpless for a while. He looked at the Meteors Crossbow in his hand and murmured to himself, “I can also pass the examination without you?”

While waiting, trainees of the other camps were also discussing the bet on Lin Xun in their respective assessment areas.

There were sneers, disdain, banter, astonishment…. All kinds of comments could be heard without end.

Some people even felt indignant that Lin Xun was so arrogant to underestimate the other people. He really should be beaten hard and be given an unforgettable lesson.

Some top trainees, including Bai Lingshi, Zhao Yin, Zhangsun Heng and Lee Duxing, also heard about the bet but treated it as a joke. And of course, they didn’t take it seriously.

This kind of farce was only staged by clowns. If they paid attention to it, they would lower themselves.

…

Outside the major assessment areas, there was a temporary central camp built on a low hill. Standing on the hill, one could overlook different assessment areas.

“It’s not too late for you to regret now,” Shu Sanqi drew back his sight and said slowly.
