I Break through Crazily

”Besides...”

Miao Yuan paused, then shot Tang Yi a disdainful glance and continued, ”Also, it seems you still don’t understand the rules of the West Mansion’s House Entrance Examination, do you? To pass, you must survive for seven days. You also have to hunt more than ten Level 4 Demon Beasts and obtain their Demon Beast Crystals. There are only so many Demon Beasts in the Little Extreme Sacred Land, but how many examinees are there? Nearly ten thousand! If each person hunts ten, that’s over one hundred thousand Demon Beasts in total. Where are we supposed to find a hundred thousand Level 4 Demon Beasts for everyone to hunt? Even if you include the Level 5 Demon Beasts, it’s not enough!”

”Moreover, do you think Level 5 Demon Beasts are that easy to kill? That’s why, out of the ten thousand examinees in this year’s House Entrance Examination, it would already be an incredible feat if even a quarter of them managed to complete the task.”

”Oh? So what?” Tang Yi said faintly.

”So what? I don’t know if you genuinely don’t understand or are just pretending not to.”

Miao Yuan sneered at Tang Yi and said, ”The Demon Beasts have all been hunted, but some powerful examinees still haven’t completed their task. In that situation, what do you think they should do?”

Without waiting for Tang Yi to reply, Miao Yuan answered his own question. ”They rob! The only option is to rob! The stronger examinees snatch Demon Beast Crystals from the weaker ones! This is why I said earlier that on the Saint Martial Continent, might makes right. The number of spots in the West Mansion is limited, and the weak are not qualified to enter! This has been an established rule of the House Entrance Examination from the start, just an unwritten one. Well, I’ve said all I need to say. Now, obediently hand over the Demon Beast Crystal of the Level 5 Demon Beast.”

”Hand it over, you examinees from the North District. We did fight together just now, after all. Don’t force our hand,” Jiang Kangcheng added.

”Hand it over voluntarily, and you can remain in the Little Extreme Sacred Land and keep your slim chance of entering the West Mansion. If you don’t... then we can only say we’re sorry,” Yui Mu said coldly.

”Oh? So you’re saying that if I don’t hand it over, you’re going to take it by force?”

Tang Yi spoke as if he had only just understood what the people from the Three Major Zones were getting at, feigning a moment of sudden realization.

”Of course! These are the rules of the West Mansion’s House Entrance Examination! Survival of the fittest! Hand it over, quick, or don’t blame us for being ruthless,” Miao Yuan urged.

”What great rules for the West Mansion’s House Entrance Examination. What a fine ’survival of the fittest’! I get it now. It seems I’ll have to follow this rule myself from now on,” Tang Yi repeated, still feigning his look of enlightenment.

”Since you understand, there’s no need for us to say more. Hurry up and hand over the Demon Beast Crystal!” Yui Mu urged coldly.

Hearing this, Tang Yi didn’t reply to the examinees from the Three Major Zones directly. Instead, he turned to the examinees from the North District and asked, ”Brothers, they’re telling me to hand over the Demon Beast Crystal of the Level 5 Demon Beast. If I don’t, they’re going to come and snatch it. What do you all think about that?”

”Hand over the Demon Beast Crystal? Let them try and take it if they’ve got the guts!”

”I’ve seen idiots, but I’ve never seen idiots like this. Today’s a first. We haven’t even settled the score with these animals for what happened earlier, and now they want us to hand over the Demon Beast Crystal? And they’re going to take it by force? That’s hilarious.”

”Do you even know who you’re trying to rob? That’s our Brother Yi! You’re really courting death!”

”Hand over the Demon Beast Crystal of the Level 5 Demon Beast? That’s the second-funniest joke I’ve heard all year.”

”What’s the first?”

”The funniest joke, of course, is that this group of morons actually said they’re going to snatch Brother Yi’s Demon Beast Crystal. Isn’t that hilarious? Hahahaha!”

”Hahaha, you got me there. These frogs in a well are way too confident. What on earth gave them this much self-assurance?”

The examinees from the North District all burst into disdainful laughter.

”What are you laughing at? What’s so funny?”

The examinees from the Three Major Zones all frowned, thinking the North District examinees had simply gone mad.

’Who is the one being blindly arrogant? Who is the one being overconfident?’

”Come on, you North District examinees, take a look at the situation, will you? Heh, no wonder the examinees from the North District are trash. You can’t even read the room.”

”There are over twenty of us from the Three Major Zones. And how many of you North District examinees are there? Only seven. Who’s the one being overconfident now? You think the seven of you can Resist an attack from the twenty-plus of us?”

”Calling us frogs in a well? I think you’re the f*cking frogs! The funniest joke of the year? You’re the f*cking joke!”

The examinees from the Three Major Zones couldn’t help but retort with ridicule.

However, while everyone from the Three Major Zones thought the North District examinees were crazy, a sense of foreboding rose in one person’s heart.

That person was Miao Yuan.

’Miao Yuan had robbed people more than once or twice. An unknown number had died by his hand. Each time he moved to rob someone, he would first size up his opponent. If they seemed easy to deal with, he’d attack directly. If they seemed tough, he’d send in a stronger fighter.’

’This was why, despite his insatiable greed, he had never run into an opponent he couldn’t handle or suffered a major defeat.’

’But this new examinee holding the Demon Beast Crystal... no matter how I look at him, I can’t gauge his depth. He seems like an ordinary person, which feels incredibly strange.’

’How could an ordinary person be qualified to come to the West Mansion and participate in the House Entrance Examination?’

’How could an ordinary person be standing in front of all the other North District examinees right now? He even looks like he’s their leader.’

’And how could an ordinary person possibly be the one holding the Demon Beast Crystal of a Level 5 Demon Beast for the North District?’

All these strange points made Miao Yuan increasingly uneasy.

But Miao Yuan didn’t say anything just yet. ’It would be too much of a pity to retreat from a fight and give up on that Level 5 Demon Beast’s Demon Beast Crystal based on mere scraps of evidence and speculation that the opponent might be tough.’

’Setting aside whether that examinee actually has immense strength, even if he does, our side has the combined force of the Three Major Zones—over twenty people. No matter how powerful that examinee is, could he defeat more than twenty people? Obviously not!’

Having reasoned this out, Miao Yuan suppressed the unease in his heart. He continued to stare fervently at the Level 5 Demon Beast’s Demon Beast Crystal, determined to make it his own.

”What? Do you examinees from the Three Major Zones really think you can snatch the Demon Beast Crystal of a Level 5 Demon Beast from my hands? Heh.”

Tang Yi spoke with a cold laugh, then pointed to himself and asked, ”Do you see it?”

”Hm? What?”

”See what?”

”What are you telling us to look at?”

The examinees from the Three Major Zones were completely baffled, not understanding why Tang Yi was pointing at himself.

At that moment, however, Tang Yi, still pointing at himself, declared arrogantly, ”Do you see it? Strength. My strength!”

After speaking, Tang Yi looked at Yui Mu with a beaming smile.

It seemed Yui Mu had said something similar just a moment ago.
