Chapter 865 - The Challenge (1/2)

They came to the Alchemist Academy and found that the Alchemist Association of the Tortoise Country had a branch here, where they could buy medical ingredients or pills.

The first floor had medicinal ingredients, which was almost as big as the Mission Association. It was over a thousand square meters.

Qin Haodong looked around and found that there were all kinds of precious medicinal materials here, such as green snake fruit, soft vanilla, pearl grass, intoxicating flowers and internal elixirs of various beasts.

Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit was extremely rare on earth, but it was just an ordinary medicinal ingredient here.

Qin Haodong was shocked by its price. A Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit would cost him 100 top-level Spirit Stones. No wonder the Cultivation Pill was so expensive. Its cost was huge.

He had all the ingredients for the Cultivation Pill in his Storage Ring except for Star-Moon Bodhi Fruit. But he had no top-level Spirit Stones now.

It seemed that refining pills also required a lot of money. His top priority was to get some money now.

He asked the seller, “Can we borrow some medicinal materials now? I’ll pay you back after I make the pills.”

The seller gave him an odd look and said, “I’m sorry, but we don’t offer such services here. You must pay first.”

The two of them could only leave the Alchemist Association in despair. But they saw three students dressed in blue the moment they left the building.

At the sight of Zhao Xingyue, one skinny student cried, “Hey! Look! She’s so beautiful! She’s as beautiful as our campus Queen!”

A short fat man next to him said, “Yes. Big brother, I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl and she’s new here. Others might not have noticed her yet, so it’s an excellent opportunity to pursue her.”

Their leader was Dong Zhenjiang, who was about 1.85 meters. He was not ugly, but his appearance was a little wretched.

At this time, his eyes were fixed lustfully on Zhao Xingyue, as if he wanted to strip her naked.

“Big brother, don’t just stand there. Hurry up and take action, or she’ll leave soon.”

The fat man pulled Dong Zhenjiang’s sleeve.

“Oh yes!” Dong Zhenjiang turned around and wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. He strode toward Zhao Xingyue.

“Hey, let me introduce myself. My name is Dong Zhenjiang, an old student at our school. Just come to me if anyone dares to make trouble for you.”

While speaking, his eyes were still fixed on Zhao Xingyue, and he paid no attention to Qin Haodong, who was standing next to her.

Seeing someone suddenly blocking her way, Zhao Xingyue became nervous and immediately held Qin Haodong’s arm.

“Who are you? I don’t know you!”

Dong Zhenjiang said with a smirk, “It doesn’t matter if we don’t know each other. Just tell me your name and we’ll be friends.”

Zhao Xingyue said nervously, “I don’t want to be your friend. You’d better leave now!”

Dong Zhenjiang said, “I don’t think so. You’re new here and must be unfamiliar with this place. I’ll help you.”

The fat young man said to Qin Haodong arrogantly, “Did you hear that? She’s my boss’s girlfriend. Get out of here, or I’ll beat you up every time I see you!”

Zhao Xingyue was afraid that Qin Haodong would leave her alone, so she quickly held his arm, “Brother Qin, don’t go, I’m so scared.”

“Don’t worry, you’re safe with me.”

Zhao Xingyue was the first person Qin Haodong met on this continent, and also his only friend at the moment. Of course, he would not leave her on her own.

He glanced at the three people in front of him. There would always be some annoying guys no matter where he went.

“Did you hear that? She doesn’t like you. You’d better leave now.”

Seeing that Qin Haodong didn’t take them seriously at all, the short fat man’s small eyes immediately widened. “How dare you! Do you know who you are talking to?”

The skinny student added, “That’s right. You are just a freshman. How dare you talk to us like this?”

Qin Haodong frowned. “Get out of here before I get angry!”

“Haha! You think you’re great, don’t you?”

Dong Zhenjiang felt that he was being humiliated in front of the beauty, so he shouted, “Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?”

The short fat man followed, “Fighting is not allowed here, but our boss has many ways to deal with you. Believe me, you’ll not survive in this place if you make an enemy of him.”

The skinny student shouted, “Just come to the challenge stage if you can. You’ll know how powerful he is.”

Qin Haodong suddenly had a good idea. Among the three of them, Dong Zhenjiang was the most powerful, but he was only at the early stage of the Apotheosis Realm. The other two had just reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

According to the rules, he would get a sum of money if he could defeat them. What a good idea! He was so lucky to have met these three stupid guys.

He glanced at them and asked, “Are you challenging me?”

Generally speaking, most of the new students here were at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. They were no match for the old students who had been studying here for several years.

They just wanted to threaten Qin Haodong, but to their surprise, the young man was not afraid at all.

At this time, Dong Zhenjiang was fascinated by Zhao Xingyue. He would of course not give up while his crush was present; on the contrary, he was eager to show off.
