BXBX NOVEL Chapter 482 - Vermillion Fruit
It was only at this moment that the first years in the stands burst out in cheers like a tsunami. They had won. Yes, the first years had won. The impossible had become possible. With such high odds against them, they had won. They had won against the number one person among the fourth years, the Seven Spirit Sword Liu Baichuan.
At this moment, Lan Xuanyu was already by Liu Feng’s side with a teacher from the Healing faculty. A green halo was surrounding him and healing his injuries.
There was no doubt that although Lan Xuanyu did the final move, Liu Feng’s contribution was huge. If not for him controlling Liu Baichuan so that Liu Baichuan would not be able to use his sword and finally giving Lan Xuanyu a chance to get close, who knew what would have happened.
Liu Feng grinned and gave Lan Xuanyu a thumbs up. “I’m fine, I’m fine. That ten thousand-year Sky Azure Ivy is not bad. Not only did it help me break through and stabilize my four-ring realm, but it also strengthened my body. Otherwise, although I could persevere, under the attack of the sword aura my soul skill would not have been able to unleash its full power.”
The teacher who was treating him stared at him in shock. “You ate a ten thousand-year Sky Azure Ivy ?”
“That’s right!” Liu Feng said.
The teacher immediately retracted the light in his hand. “There’s no need to treat you then. These superficial wounds will heal in one day.” With that said, he turned and left. As he walked, he mumbled, “Why are children so rich these days? They had a Vermillion Fruit and now a ten thousand-year Sky Azure Ivy.”
That’s right, the red fruit that Lan Xuanyu and his team ate before the battle was called Vermillion Fruit. This thing cost five purple emblems.
It was only effective for five minutes, but in that time, it could increase a soul master’s attributes by 30%. This meant that Lan Xuanyu’s soul power just now was in the four-ring realm. Dong Qianqiu and the rest were close to the five-ring realm. Otherwise, how could they control Liu Baichuan!
More importantly, the Vermillion Fruit was effective for those with seven rings and below. It was definitely a waste for them to eat one at three or four rings.
The biggest advantage of the Vermillion Fruit was that five minutes after the end of its effect, everything would be back to normal and there wouldn’t be a period of weakness or overdraft. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so expensive.
In this round, they had eaten four of them. In terms of federal coins alone, it was over 1.6 million.
Not to mention, Dong Qianqiu had eaten a ten thousand-year Mysterious Ice Essence and Liu Feng a ten thousand-year Sky Azure Ivy.
Without the ten thousand-year Mysterious Ice Essence, Dong Qianqiu’s Deep Blue Gaze might not have been able to freeze Liu Baichuan, who had released his One-Word Battle Armor.
Why did Liu Baichuan put on his Battle Armor right from the start? It was to a certain extent to avoid being controlled. How could he not know that he was most afraid of being controlled when fighting against four people? But Lan Xuanyu’s team’s control soul skills were all successful. They succeeded without exception because they didn’t care about the cost! They had won this battle through slamming enough money.
Hence, this seemingly inconceivable victory that caused Liu Baichuan to be unable to perform at all originated from them being rich and willful. It was simply a result of using money.
Liu Feng looked resentfully at the teacher who left and then at his own body. He didn’t know if it was the effect of the ten thousand-year Sky Azure Ivy or the treatment just now, but as expected, his wounds had basically closed up. Although there was still a stinging pain all over his body, he wasn’t bleeding anymore.
“Let’s go, we won. Hahaha!” No one was happier than Lan Xuanyu.
All-in ! In this round, he’d won 65 purple emblems with a 1:3 ratio. He’d won more than the previous two rounds!
He had earned 195 purple emblems, which meant that not only did he earn back all of his expenses, but he also had a surplus.
The first thing he wanted to do was to pay back his loan to the Blacksmith Association. He would keep the rest.
The next match against the fifth years didn’t seem to be that important anymore. He would no longer bet heavily. He had earned a lot in this match! How could he not be happy?
With so many emblems, not to mention Battle Armors, he had already earned money for everyone.
“Class leader, this is awesome! We actually defeated Liu Baichuan.” Ding Zhuohan pounced forward excitedly.
They had defeated the fourth years ! This was Shrek Academy, and they had actually won despite being weaker than their opponents.
Especially that Explosive Blood Fruit, it felt really good to eat it. Although this Heaven and Earth treasure was expensive, not only was it good for strengthening, but it also didn’t have any side effects. Furthermore, because of the explosive increase to his bloodline and soul power, it was beneficial to his cultivation, allowing him to cultivate twice as fast with half the effort for three days. He increasingly felt that being with Lan Xuanyu was too promising.
At this moment, on the spectator stand, figures jumped down one after another. They were the first years. They had grown impatient and rushed over. Other than Dong Qianqiu who was protected by Lan Mengqin, the other three were quickly tossed into the sky. Even Liu Feng was not spared.
Xiao Qi didn’t come down and stood on the spectator stand, full of contentment for their achievement. To him, this victory was not bad, but more importantly, it was Liu Feng’s performance.
Faced with that sword aura that seemed like it could tear a person apart, he didn’t retreat a single step and completed his mission. Especially when faced with Liu Baichuan’s torrential murderous aura, he was still able to do this. It was really not easy!
But what were they eating?
The Vermillion Fruit actually had another characteristic—bloodlust. It could make one ignore all emotions and fluctuations for a short period of time.
When Lan Xuanyu was choosing, he had already considered the issue of battle intent. If a person was already bloodthirsty, what was the point of having a strong battle intent?
Furthermore, Lan Xuanyu realized that after eating the Vermillion Fruit, the effect seemed to be slightly different for him. When his blood and aura erupted, the speed at which his bloodline absorbed life energy increased. The life energy that he had not digested in the Sea God Lake last night had actually decreased by more than a third. In other words, it had greatly increased the speed at which he absorbed life energy to increase his bloodline power. His bloodline power was closely related to his soul power. In other words, he could cultivate by consuming the Vermillion Fruit and increase his cultivation speed. Of course, this was an extremely extravagant act. One Vermillion Fruit was even more expensive than cultivating at the Sea God Lake.
If it was in the past, he wouldn’t even dare to think about it, but it was different now! He was rich. He could really give it a try later and see how the effect was.
Now that he had gone to Sea God Lake once, he would need ten to half a month before he could completely digest the energy. In order to save money, he would only go to the Sea God Lake once every half a month to 20 days.
If he reduced this time to three days, or even ate a Vermillion Fruit when he was in Sea God Lake, it would greatly increase the total amount of life energy he could absorb. Wouldn’t this increase his cultivation speed by a few times? Of course, the resources he would have to consume would be at least two purple emblems a week.
‘How scary! But I can try, right?’
With immense joy, Lan Xuanyu finally escaped from the excited students and quietly went to the Exchange Center alone. He wore a mask and collected his emblems.
“You know what? You’re about to become an unpopular guest in the Gambling Center.” The teacher from the Exchange Center looked at him bitterly.
Lan Xuanyu coughed. “Teacher, don’t be like that. I’m just following the rules.”
The teacher scoffed, “Next round, is it still all-in?”
Lan Xuanyu quickly shook his head. “No, no. I actually don’t like to gamble. Gambling isn’t good. I only came because I was completely confident.”
The teacher’s mouth twitched. “So you’re saying that you treat our place as an ATM?”
“Hehe, hehe. Teacher, I’ll take my leave first.” Lan Xuanyu fled. He didn’t go anywhere else and went straight to the Blacksmith Association.
