1751 Scheming
Just as many people present had guessed, as the most outstanding young master of the younger generation of the Helian family, he indeed had a lot of things to protect himself.
However, he didn’t want to waste it on such a challenge.
Besides, the competition between the four continents would be happening in a year’s time. After that, there would be opportunities to enter the mystic realm. With his identity as the eldest disciple of the Alchemy Hall, he would definitely have a spot.
Be it the competition between the four continents or in the mystic realm, self-defense items were indispensable. There was no need to waste them on such a small competition.
Of course, the most important thing was that he was confident that he could beat Lu Zijia in alchemy.
This was because he had already successfully become a high-level Mystic Rank alchemist a few days ago. Moreover, the Helian family had accidentally obtained two portions of the Wood Spirit Fruit powder.
The Wood Spirit Fruit powder was similar to the Wood Spirit Fruit. It had the effect of increasing the success rate of pills.
And one of the two portions of Wood Spirit Fruit Powder that the Helian family coincidentally obtained was in Helian Qiguang’s interspatial ring at this moment.
“Since Senior Brother Helian chose an alchemy competition, let’s have it!”
Lu Zijia was secretly delighted, but she shrugged indifferently on the outside and immediately changed the topic. “However, it’s a bit boring to compete without a bet. Why don’t we add a bet?”
In these battles, all there was to winning or losing were the titles of “winner” and “loser”. How disadvantageous was that?
One had to know that she, the miser, Lu Zijia, hated to suffer losses the most! She would be letting herself down if she didn’t rip off Helian Qiguang, this fat sheep, ruthlessly!
Looking at his wife’s rolling eyes, Mu Tianyan immediately understood that his wife must be scheming against Helian Qiguang again.
And of course, Mu Tianyan was not wrong!
Helian Qiguang originally wanted to refuse, but he thought of something and a sinister glint flashed through his eyes. He immediately changed his words. “Alright, let’s make it a bigger bet! If you lose, leave Hongtian Academy immediately and never step into it again. How about that?”
As soon as Helian Qiguang said this, the students of the Martial Arts Department immediately exploded.
“Why? Helian Qiguang, you’re just a student. What right do you have?”
“Right, you’re not a teacher of the academy. How can you ask Junior Sister Lu to leave the academy?”
“Helian Qiguang, you’re a third-year Senior Brother. It’s fine if you challenge a first-year junior, but you actually asked her to leave the academy. Aren’t you too shameless?”
“Right, this is simply bullying the weak. It’s unfair!”
Helian Qiguang also knew that it would be shameless for an advanced senior like him to challenge a junior who had just entered the academy.
That was why he gave Shi Hua’an some benefits and wanted to teach Lu Zijia a lesson through Shi Hua’an.
However, he didn’t expect Shi Huaan to be so useless. Not only did he become crippled, but he also disappointed Junior Sister Liao again!
And the reason why he challenged Lu Zijia right now was just because he was impulsive.
However, things had already started. There was no turning back. He could only brace himself and walk on.
“She agreed to it herself. I didn’t force her.”
Helian Qiguang said coldly, “Besides, she was the one who suggested the bet. I agreed and also said my condition upon winning. What’s wrong with that? If the Martial Arts Department can’t afford to lose, don’t agree to it!”
Obviously, Helian Qiguang’s last two sentences were a rebuttal to what the Martial Arts Department had said to them before.
“You…!”
The students of the Martial Arts Department were extremely furious. Some of the hot-tempered students were about to rush up and beat them up.
However, they were all stopped by Lu Zijia quickly.
