Chapter 278 - 278 Opponent for the Next Round

278 Opponent for the Next Round

The match between Lu Benwei and Zhou Qingfeng officially came to an end. In the end, Lu Benwei’s narrow victory over Zhou Qingfeng put an end to their duel.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a great uproar on the internet.

No one would have thought that a magician would be able to defeat the number one hidden class in the world, the judgment paladin.

“A magician defeated a judgment paladin. This is unheard of!”

“Inside story, there must be an inside story! I don’t believe that a magician can defeat a judgment paladin.”

“Open your eyes and look at the video uploaded by the tournament organizers. Zhou Qingfeng’s loss isn’t to be blamed.”

Once the video of the match was uploaded, many people’s dissatisfaction immediately died down.

On the other side, in the hospital.

Zhou Qingfeng had also woken up. After learning the results of the competition, he only responded with an “Oh”.

“It’s not fair. How can the outcome of a tournament be decided by who wakes up first?”

Wang Yan and Xu Tuo stood up for Zhou Qingfeng.

“Let’s go to the organizing committee for an explanation.”

“No need.” Zhou Qingfeng stopped the crowd and said softly, “I’ve lost. Lu Benwei has been suppressing his strength in the match against me.”

“What?”

As soon as he said that, Wang Yan and Xu Tuo were so scared that they broke out into a cold sweat.

“Lu Benwei didn’t use his full strength? How do you know this?”

At the same time, in the hotel where the participants of the National Class Tournament were staying.

“Principal, you’re looking for me?” Lu Benwei pushed open the door and asked politely.

The pungent smell of alcohol assailed his nose.

“Here, Lu Benwei, a toast to you.”

Chen Yuan raised his cup and said with a smile.

“Principal, why are you doing this?” Lu Benwei was flattered.

“To celebrate you becoming the number one at Zhejiang Hunter University.”

Lu Benwei scratched the back of his head and said, “Principal, I was just lucky to win today’s match.”

“Oh, really?” Chen Yuan lazily raised his eyebrows and said, “You haven’t used your full strength in the match against Zhou Qingfeng, have you?”

Lu Benwei was speechless. After pondering for a long time, he said, “Principal, how did you know?”

“Is there even a need to look?” Chen Yuan said, “You can’t even circulate your bloodline power to the maximum.”

Chen Yuan paused for a moment before he continued, “And from what I know, you have another armor?”

Lu Benwei’s expression sank.

The Furious Dragon Battle Armor had always been hidden deep within his storage ring. It had been his last trump card. In addition, Lu Benwei still had two killer moves that he could not use. Otherwise, the tournament could show a crushing momentum.

“Principal, what is it that you’ve asked me to come for?” Lu Benwei intended to let Chen Yuan get straight to the point.

“It’s nothing,” Chen Yuan swallowed and said, “I just wanted to say a few words to you. Sometimes, it’s not a good thing to hide one’s edge.

“There are many people watching this match. Show them your strength. It will be helpful for you in the future.”

When Lu Benwei heard this, he first thought of the owner of the Furious Dragon Battle Armor and Furious Dragon Legion.

The National Class Tournament was a major national event, so the Furious Dragon Legion must be keeping an eye on it.

After pondering for a while, Lu Benwei nodded.

“Principal, I’ll surprise everyone in the next match.”

Chen Yuan nodded his head in relief. Then, Lu Benwei walked out of Chen Yuan’s room.

On the way back, Lu Benwei met a person who was blocking his way. His intention was obvious.

“Please make way,” Lu Benwei said lightly.

The other party smiled faintly. “Don’t be in such a hurry to chase me away. We’re all participants. Let’s be friends. Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Tiancheng, and I’m Lu Ziling’s classmate.”

Lu Benwei was slightly surprised. The other party knew about his relationship with Lu Ziling.

The corners of Li Tiancheng’s mouth curled up, and he said, “The whole school knows about your relationship with Ziling.”

He shrugged helplessly. “You know, your sister has a lot of fanatical suitors. Even your family’s information has been dug out. But don’t misunderstand. I’ve never spread your family’s information to the outside world.”

Lu Benwei pursed his lips and said, “You come here just to tell me this?”

Li Tiancheng shook his head and said, “Of course not. I’m here to remind you that your next opponent is me.”

Lu Benwei’s expression changed and he coldly said, “The lots for the competition haven’t been drawn yet. How can you be sure that we’ll be opponents?”

“What do you think?” Li Tiancheng asked, “If I tell you that you’re being watched, will you believe me?”

“What do you mean by that?” Lu Benwei said coldly.

“Don’t tell me you really think that you won your first match with Zhou Qingfeng by drawing lots?”

Li Tiancheng’s expression was grave.

“I can tell you that you’re being watched. He wants to kill you without making a sound. The other party found out that you and Zhou Qingfeng aren’t on good terms, so they activated their energy to manipulate the lot drawing so that you two will meet in the round of sixteen to eight.”

After a pause, Li Tiancheng said, “I can tell you that back then, no matter how you drew your lot, you’d have run into Zhou Qingfeng. It’s a pity that the relationship between the two of you isn’t as bad as he thought, so he came to find me.”

“Who is it?” Lu Benwei coldly asked.

Li Tiancheng spread his hands and smiled helplessly. “The other party can even manipulate the draw ceremony. Do you think I can say it?”

Lu Benwei was stunned and then coldly asked, “Then why did you tell me? Aren’t you afraid of the other party’s revenge?”

“I’m the number one genius at Yanjing Hunter University after all. I have the principal’s support. They’ll only scold me behind my back.” When Li Tiancheng said this, there was a hint of pride in his words.

Lu Benwei was helpless, and his mouth twitched. “Thank you for the reminder.”

After saying goodbye to Li Tiancheng, Lu Benwei sped up his pace back to his room. Since the other party had set their eyes on him, it would also threaten the safety of Chu Yan, Lin Feng, and the others.

“Who’s the other party?”

Lu Benwei guessed in his heart, but at this time, he found a person sneakily at the door of his room.

“Who is it?” Lu Benwei shouted coldly.

The man looked up and saw Lu Benwei, and he ran away.

The next second, Lin Feng opened the door, a toothbrush in his mouth. “What’s the matter?”

“Just follow me!” Lu Benwei said coldly.

After saying that, he ran past Lin Feng like the wind. Lin Feng was very puzzled, but he still followed him out.

At this time, Lu Benwei received a message from Chu Yan.

“Zhao Xiaoqi and Hai Yue have disappeared!”
