Chapter 30

C30 – Hidden Dragon Platform!

“Let’s have some quiet, please.”

Out of the blue, Zhang Tu, standing at the podium, called for attention. The room fell silent as all eyes returned to him.

Zhang Tu was pleased to see the crowd hush at his command. Addressing his peers, he said, “In this world, for every genius, there’s someone not as gifted—it’s simply the way things are. We’re all classmates here, and rather than ridicule those who struggle, we should be eager to lend them a hand.”

At this juncture, Zhang Tu’s gaze shifted deliberately to Lu Lixing. “Lu Lixing, despite our past friction, I’ve always believed in the camaraderie among us. If you’re ever stumped by a question or face a hurdle in your studies, feel free to seek my advice. I promise to share all I know.”

“With your potential and my guidance, even if the Six Great Academies are out of reach, you’re still a shoo-in for a top-tier university!”

Zhang Tu’s declaration sent a wave of astonishment rippling through the audience. No one had anticipated such a public overture to Lu Lixing.

Below the stage, the crowd marveled at Zhang Tu’s magnanimity, while those on stage saw through his sly and venomous ploy!

He had already sabotaged Lu Lixing during the test, and now, under the public eye, he was trampling on Lu Lixing’s dignity once more. His cruelty knew no bounds!

Though Lu Lixing had missed his chance at the Six Great Academies, it didn’t mean he couldn’t secure a place at a prestigious university. Should Lu Lixing succeed, the credit would likely be attributed to Zhang Tu.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Even if Lu Lixing refuted any help from Zhang Tu, skepticism would prevail. He risked being branded as ungrateful.

To avoid such a predicament, Lu Lixing would have to forgo attending any notable university, effectively shattering his prospects.

Lu Lixing’s challenge sent shockwaves through the crowd. Facing the fury of millions of Demonic Beasts in the Black Wind Defense by oneself? It sounded absurd.

“What are you blabbering about?” Mi Hongbo bellowed, reaching to silence Lu Lixing’s microphone.

But in that instant, Lu Lixing dropped a bombshell among the onlookers.

“I won’t stand for this—I demand a trial at the Hidden Dragon Platform!”

The Hidden Dragon Platform!

The mention of that name sent a ripple of confusion through the crowd, followed by a wave of realization about what it truly meant. They stared at Lu Lixing with eyes wide in astonishment, convinced he had lost his mind.

The Hidden Dragon Platform was a formidable challenge instituted by the Six Great Academies. Should any candidate deem the qualification test unjust, feeling they’ve been wronged, they could invoke their right to combat on the Hidden Dragon Platform—a challenge that could not be denied.

Once issued, the Six Great Academies would dispatch representatives to oversee the Battle of the Hidden Dragon Platform, ensuring its fairness and integrity.

The test itself was brutally straightforward: a lone fight against the school’s top hundred elite students.

Victory meant passing the Battle of the Hidden Dragon Platform, earning the right to enroll in the Six Great Academies, and possibly even immediate acceptance. Defeat, however, meant death.

In the decade since its inception, the Battle of the Hidden Dragon Platform had been invoked only four times, with each challenger meeting their demise.

So when Lu Lixing declared his intent to face the Hidden Dragon Platform, everyone believed he was out of his mind. He was, in their eyes, flirting with death itself.
