Chapter 30: Fighting

Spark Academy’s dueling field was underground. The round competition field was surrounded by seats, with a huge protective cover in the middle. The material of the protective cover was as strong as the one over the city.

Most of the people who attended the school opening ceremony today came here. They were more interested in the punishment of whoever lost the upcoming duel.

Who knew who would be slapping themselves in the end… It would probably be the person who challenged Yin Tiancheng, who was out of his reach?

The level of the duel was the lowest level… Shi Qingyang lead the way into the protective shield, holding his chest as he looked at Yin Tiancheng calmly.

Yin Tiancheng’s face was full of smiles. No one knew what he was thinking. Seeing Shi Qingyang, he sighed: “Shi Qingyang, if you admit defeat now, you still have a chance. I don’t need you to slap yourself.” He seemed to be persuading, but he took the bet that Shi Qingyang had mentioned before and hadn’t put up any other real wager.

“No need.” Shi Qingyang simply didn’t care.

“Shi Qingyang, you know, my surname is Yin. Even if I didn’t have radiation energy before I was 16, I studied under many martial arts teachers. You……” Yin Tiancheng was worried.

“Why are you talking so much crap?” Shi Qingyang asked. Yin Tiancheng’s appearance really made him feel sick, but it probably came off to others as oh-so-elegant.

Shi Qingyang’s guess was very correct. With him as comparison, those who looked at the battle from a close distance in the seats basically preferred Yin Tiancheng.

Yin Tiancheng’s talent and family background were so good that they could not even envy him, so they could only admire him.

Moreover, many people planned to go to the Yin family after graduation. As for Shi Qingyang, who was that guy?

Yin Tiancheng was young after all. Though he tried to connect with Gu Changjin he was ignored several times. Now even Shi Qingyang didn’t take him seriously, so he decided to show up Shi Qingyang. At this time, he slowly attracted the energy around him

Yin Tiancheng had planned to drink some medicine after he obtained radiant energy, adjust his state to the best, and then start to learn how to use radiant energy. However, he didn’t expect that by following Shi Qingyang and Gu Changjin to the practice room every day, he actually learned how to use the radiant energy.

Yesterday, under the guidance of his grandfather, he could even send out a level-1 wind blade!

He was so quick to reach this level that his grandfather was full of praise for him.

“I can already use radiant energy. Be careful,” Yin Tiancheng said gracefully as a wind blade formed in front of him.

The radiation energy of the arena was weaker than that of the practice room. The wind blade also seemed very unstable. However, after Yin Tiancheng used it, many people were excited: “Wind blade, it’s a wind blade!”

“Yin Tiancheng is already a level-1 radiation warrior. Most people can only achieve this at 17 or 18!”

“So great!”

Many people stood up and cheered for Yin Tiancheng. However, before they began to celebrate, the wind blade suddenly disappeared.

No, it didn’t disappear suddenly, but was knocked down! Shi Qingyang didn’t approach Yin Tiancheng, he just moved his hands. Could he also use radiation energy?

The potential of a C- was a level 3 radiant warrior at most. Most people needed to be around 18 to reach level 1. How could Shi Qingyang reach level 1 so soon?

The audience was silent, but Shi Qingyang just laughed sarcastically, then moved his hands, sending two blades flying towards Yin Tiancheng.

Yin Tiancheng was dazed when he saw Shi Qingyang using the wind blade. However, his childhood training was not in vain. He dodged one of them, and though the other hit him, in this place where the radiation energy was scarce, the power was only 1% of that outside the city. Naturally, it could not hurt him.

However, how could Shi Qingyang also use wind blades? Moreover, he could send out three blades at a time! Yin Tiancheng didn’t react, and suddenly felt a chill on his face.

A wind blade crossed his left face, and then another wind blade crossed the same position.

Subconsciously reaching out his hand, Yin Tiancheng saw that his hand was full of blood. Wounds injured by radiation were even more painful than normal.

The radiant energy in the arena soon disappeared, and the red indicator light lit up, indicating the end of the match.

There was some blackening near the wound that was injured by radiation, and only medication could be used to treat it. Soon a teacher jumped in and smeared the medicine on Yin Tiancheng’s face. At the same time, his face was anxious. In fact, it didn’t matter to continue fighting, but Yin Tiancheng had a special identity and hurt his face. Naturally, they were a little anxious and terminated the game in advance.

At this time, Yin Tiancheng could no longer calm down. He covered his face and looked shocked. How could he lose?

Even the onlookers outside were stunned. At the beginning, they actually planned to see the two people fighting hand to hand, but they didn’t expect that the freshmen could also use radiation energy. Moreover, it was Shi Qingyang who won in the end!

“Qingyang, you’re so awesome!” Cheng Ran waved vigorously.

Shi Qingyang smiled and looked at Yin Tiancheng nearby: “I said the loser would slap themselves ten times before, but since your face is hurt…”

Yan Tian was proud and arrogant, and slapping himself would be an insult. Hearing this, he was naturally relieved, but who knew Shi Qingyang would continue: “So how about you just hit the other side?”

“Shi Qingyang, what do you want to do?” Yan Jinru shouted.

“What, are you going to break your word? Or are you going to take advantage of your numbers to bully us?” Shi Qingyang snorted. God knows how much he wanted to do more!

The scene suddenly deadlocked.

On the first day of school in Spark City, a big event also happened to the Cheng family in Yangtze City.

Cheng Xuze had been ill outside for two years, but he had returned to the Cheng family these days. There were many outside speculations about this matter, but with the passage of time, these speculations had slowly turned into one – Cheng Xuze, suffering of radiation riots, was going to die.

If Cheng Xuze didn’t have a problem, how could Cheng Hui, who was in charge of the Cheng family, neglect his matters and stay with Cheng Xuze all the time? If Cheng Xuze didn’t have a problem, how could the Cheng family suddenly spend a lot of money to dig up Ran Xue, the only free senior pharmacist in Yangtze City?

The Cheng family had only developed for a few decades. Cheng Xuze didn’t have much talent to do business. He didn’t have much capital in his hands. He would likely only do this because he was dying, right?

For a while, countless people focused on the Cheng family, wondering how to bite a piece of meat from the Cheng family after Cheng Xuze disappeared. On the other hand, the atmosphere of the Cheng family these days was very tense.

Most pharmacists were women. Ran Xue was a female pharmacist. Her radiant energy was not strong, but very stable. She had devoted much of her life to pharmacy, so she had not married yet.

Before the Cheng family found her, she was reluctant to become a pharmacist of a large family because many large families had various requirements for pharmacists. Her grandfather used to be a level 6 radiant warrior. After his radiant energy became unstable in his later years, he asked a pharmacist for medicine. The pharmacist agreed and even charged money. Finally, because the child in charge of the family wanted to prepare some medicine to improve his health, he delayed making medicine for her grandfather

Her grandfather didn’t get the medicine when it was time. He was pushed again and again. The radiation energy riot, which was initially not serious, suddenly happened. Then he never opened his eyes again

After becoming a pharmacist, Ran Xue spent most of her time serving those ordinary radiant energy warriors until the Cheng family gave her such a generous contract that she couldn’t believe it at first.

The Cheng family won’t force her to make medicine. They just want her to give priority to the Cheng family. Besides, the most important thing was that she must keep it secret.

As long as she agreed, the Cheng family would build a laboratory for her, buy the best experimental equipment, and even promised to help her buy the latest G33 analyzer.

Ran Xue finally nodded. Then she went into the Cheng house and saw the lab that had already been set up.

This laboratory, apart from the fact that it was off-puttingly set in the Cheng house, was built entirely like it had come out of her dreams!

However, for Ran Xue, this laboratory was not the most important thing, because Cheng Xuze gave her a recipe.

In the next few days, Ran Xue stayed in the laboratory almost sleepless. The prescription was very clear, but she had never been exposed to such a high-grade potion before and was in a rush.

She finally knew why the Cheng family wanted to dig her up, but in the face of something so wonderful, she couldn’t stop at all!

Since Ran Xue entered the laboratory, Cheng Xuze had been waiting outside. He could see that the medicine mentioned in the prescription was quite similar to the soothing agent he had drunk in the past, but he was not sure that the prescription could really make a level-8 soothing agent.

These days, Cheng Xuze’s mood had been in turmoil. He hadn’t seen I don’t want to starve go online again, which made him unable to relax.

In his heart, he only said repeatedly, I don’t want to starve, what do you really want?

Do you want to use the Cheng family as a weapon against others, or do you want to win over the Cheng family? Cheng Xuze thought a lot, but he couldn’t deny that he was unable to refuse the temptation from the other party.

He wanted to live, and only if he lived, could the Cheng family slowly gain a foothold.

The contact device in his hand suddenly made a sound, which indicated Ran Xue’s laboratory door had opened. Cheng Xuze quickly arrived only to find that Cheng Hui had arrived first.

Ran Xue wrapped up all her hair. Her eyes were bruised from exhaustion. She looked very tired, but her red-rimmed eyes were full of excitement: “It’s done!”

“It is?” Cheng Xuze and Cheng Hui looked at each other and entered the laboratory.

On the experimental platform, most of the prepared large quantities of medicinal herbs had been consumed, and a small bottle of medicine was placed there, standing out.

“No problem with the prescription, but I didn’t have enough control over the radiation energy, so I failed many times. Fortunately, I succeeded… I analyzed the composition of this bottle of medicine, and the harmful substances in it accounted for 0.12% of the total…” Ran Xue said a lot of professional terms, and added: “In short, this bottle of medicine does very little harm to the human body, but it is ten times stronger than the advanced soothing agent released by the country.” The more she spoke, the more Ran Xue’s excitement grew.

However, after the excitement, Ran Xue soon became silent again. Although the potion was made by her, the prescription was not hers. Moreover, according to the treaty she signed with the Cheng family, she could not divulge the information related to the prescription.

Ran Xue’s greatest advantage was that she stayed true to her word. Moreover, she knew very well that if she really did something, she would certainly not be able to succeed in the end.

Cheng Xuze looked at the bottle of medicine for a long time, and finally picked it up and put it to his mouth.

“Dad!” Cheng Hui looked at Cheng Xuze with some shock.

“I’ve only gotten to this point by taking risks!” Cheng Xuze opened his mouth and drank the potion in one gulp.

The radiant energy in his body gradually settled down. This feeling of long absence almost made Cheng Xuze cry with joy, but after being happy, he could not help sighing.

His body has already started to decline… If his body was still in his 30s and 40s, how could he have such riots?

Now, he would not easily give up this opportunity!

When many people speculated whether Cheng Xuze would die again, Cheng Xuze appeared in front of the crowd.

Cheng Xuze suddenly retired before. Everyone guessed the reason. It was nothing more than the radiation energy riot. What they didn’t expect was that Cheng Xuze appeared in front of the public again. Moreover, according to his current situation, there was no problem of radiation riots at all!

What the hell was going on? Those who wanted to wait for the Cheng family to have an accident and take advantage of them were frustrated for a while. The plan they had made was completely useless, and was almost hurt by anger!

Cheng Xuze didn’t know what others thought. At this time, he almost suffered an internal injury because I don’t want to starve didn’t go online.

Who would suddenly give a big gift bag and disappear without asking for a follow-up?

There were several big shots in Yangtze City. They sent over invitations under the premise of old friends who hadn’t seen each other in a long time, but in fact… Cheng Xuze knew that most of these people wanted to probe his situation.

Cheng Xuze was like a mirror in his heart, but he was still resolute and stubborn. He pretended not to understand other people’s concealed probing until the contact terminal on his hand suddenly rang.

It was a message sent by Wang Qing. There were only two words in it – “He’s on.”

These days, he had been staring at “I don’t want to starve” with Wang Qing. Wang Qing saying that meant he must be the one who went online!

Cheng Xuze didn’t hide his emotions at all. He laughed and said goodbye to the people in front of him, saying that he had something urgent and had to go home. Those people smiled and sent Cheng Xuze out, but later they looked at each other – the Cheng family, what big branch did they climb onto?
