Chapter 72 Utterly Speechless! Fighting in the Ring While Dressed So Cute! Do You Think This Is a Fashion Show?_1
"BANG!" — That was a bit painful!
"BANG!" — Really painful!
"BANG!" — It's killing me!
The young girl's delicate body was slammed against the floor with great force, blow after blow. Each impact was fiercer than the last, causing the female examinees watching from below the stage to tremble.
My God! What kind of monster is this boy on Platform No. 1? Why is he destroying her so mercilessly? This is just too cruel!
At this very moment, the scene on Platform No. 1 had a huge impact on everyone. A boy who looked both handsome and gentlemanly was, in full view of the crowd, swinging a girl around by one hand and repeatedly slamming her down. His face remained expressionless as he slammed her onto the ground, each time harder than the last. This kind of throwing... even a cat with nine lives might not withstand it.
And so, under the incredulous stares of the onlookers, Su Yan swung Lin Xiaoxiao around with one hand. He adopted a method of nine gentle tosses followed by one hard slam. He threw her until she was dizzy and flushed, her tongue lolling out uncontrollably.
After about twenty such slams, Lin Xiaoxiao finally couldn't take it anymore and was on the verge of passing out.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao was near her limit, Su Yan thought, This should be enough.
He simply raised his hand and tossed Lin Xiaoxiao off the Martial Arts Platform, ending the match.
It happened quickly. With a THUD, Lin Xiaoxiao crashed onto the hard ground. She couldn't help but let out a few alluring moans, sounding as if she were experiencing both pain and pleasure.
The two medical personnel waiting below the Martial Arts Platform saw this and immediately rushed forward with a stretcher. They gently picked up Lin Xiaoxiao from the ground and carefully placed her onto it. Then, they simultaneously lifted the stretcher onto their shoulders and, swaying with a lighthearted and amusing rhythm, carried it towards the logistics department.
Meanwhile, on the Martial Arts Platform, the referee's voice boomed, "The winner, Su Yan!"
Following the announcement, the judges in charge of Platform No. 1 began their assessment and scoring. The rules were simple. The scoring range for winners: 6-10 points. The scoring range for losers: 1-5 points.
The scores were announced quickly.
For Lin Xiaoxiao, a D Level examinee, the scores were: 2, 3, 2, 1, 2.
After discarding the highest and lowest scores, Lin Xiaoxiao's final score was 2 points.
Two points might seem low, but in a match with a three-level gap, this was actually a very good result. Most examinees facing an opponent three levels higher were usually knocked out by a single punch, typically ending with zero points. However, for someone like Lin Xiaoxiao, who had endured for so long—like a cat with nine lives—her ability to take hits was undoubtedly strong. Most importantly, she hadn't shown any intention of surrendering throughout the match. This left a very good impression on the judges, so they gave her slightly higher scores.
As for Su Yan, an A Level examinee, his scores were: 10, 10, 10, 10, 10.
Without a doubt, his scores were all 10s.
Even though he had achieved a perfect score in the match, Su Yan showed little joy on his face. He walked down from the Martial Arts Platform expressionlessly, maintaining an unhurried pace as he headed straight for the logistics department.
Contestants participating in the tournament could go to the logistics department after each match. There, they could receive an HP Pill for rest and recovery, helping them prepare for the next round.
Arriving at the logistics department, Su Yan had just entered when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao resting on a stretcher, recovering. He didn't approach her to mock or taunt, but simply walked past and went straight to the front desk to collect his HP Pill.
A glance at the front desk showed it was quite empty, with hardly anyone around, except for a young lady sitting there, scrolling through Douyin.
Su Yan approached and asked, "Hello, I just finished my first tournament match. Can I collect an HP Pill here?"
The young lady didn't even raise her head. Still scrolling through Douyin, she said indifferently, "Yes, you can collect HP Pills here for post-match recovery. Please show your admission ticket."
Su Yan took his admission ticket from his pocket and handed it to her.
The young lady still didn't look up, merely reaching out skillfully to take the admission ticket. Then, she placed it on a nearby scanner, which emitted a BEEP.
The next moment, a column of examinee information appeared on the display screen in front of her:
Name: Su Yan
School: Luo City Number One High School
Tournament Matches: 1/6
Score: 10 points
HP Pills collected: 0
The young lady glanced at the display screen. Then, she took a small wooden box from the cabinet below and casually tossed it to Su Yan, reminding him, "HP Pills can only be consumed. They must not be privately kept or sold. Violators will have their match scores nullified."
Su Yan took the small wooden box and said, "I understand. Thank you, Auntie."
The young lady: "???"
Su Yan's sudden "Auntie" completely dumbfounded the young lady.
Damn it! I just graduated! Where does he get off calling me 'Auntie'!? This little brat is so rude! Just you watch, I'll teach him a lesson with high intensity!
Just as the young lady stood up, intending to unleash a high-intensity rap, Su Yan had already vanished.
After leaving the logistics department, Su Yan eagerly opened the small wooden box. His eyes fell upon a small red pill emitting a medicinal aura.
So this is an HP Pill? Su Yan thought as he reached out and picked up the HP Pill from the box.
Then, an item information prompt quickly popped up in the depths of his mind.
[HP Pill]: A potion condensed from the Evolved Creature's Essence Blood. After consumption, it can rapidly restore the HP consumed by a living being.
Condensed from Evolved Creature's Essence Blood? So, the essence of this thing is blood? Thinking this, Su Yan felt a slight reluctance. He wasn't too keen on consuming it.
Just then, several prompts popped up from the depths of his mind.
[HP Pill detected]
[Do you choose to devour?]
[Option 1]: Yes
[Option 2]: No
[Devouring this will significantly increase your Qi and Blood Value and also accelerate your HP Recovery Speed]
Good thing I can use the System to devour this HP Pill directly, without having to take it orally.
[Option 1]: Yes✔
Without a second thought, Su Yan directly devoured the HP Pill in his hand.
[Swallowing Successful]
[HP+1+1+1...]
[HP Recovery Rate+1+1+1...]
After devouring it, Su Yan briefly assessed his body but noticed no significant changes. His Creature Level had already reached the Half-step Legendary Level. It was such a small HP Pill. Even if its effects were enhanced by the Super Double boost after consumption, the improvement it could offer him was ultimately just a drop in the bucket.
Once done, Su Yan glanced at the time. There were still a full twenty minutes before his next match. He hadn't expended much energy in the previous match and didn't need this time to rest and recover. Since he would be bored doing nothing, he simply returned to the Martial Arts Platform area to watch other groups' matches to pass the time.
As he watched, Su Yan noticed that most of the platforms were empty, with only nine groups of examinees still engaged in high-intensity matches. Most of these nine remaining matches featured examinees of the same level, trading blows fist for fist. That's why their matches lasted so long.
Among them, two matches were between examinees of different levels. One featured a Semi-Advanced Level creature against an Advanced Level Being; the other, an Advanced Level Being against a Semi-Rare creature. In both matches, the examinees fought back and forth. The battles only concluded after going into overtime.
Ultimately, the scores of these four examinees were as follows:
Semi-Advanced Level creature: 7 points
Advanced Level Creature A: 5 points
Advanced Level Creature B: 8 points
Semi-Rare creature: 5 points
According to the rules, if a match ends in a tie, the higher-level participant is automatically deemed the loser.
Soon, the rest period after the first round of matches ended. In the blink of an eye, the second round of matches began.
Su Yan's second match was also on Platform No. 1. His opponent was also a girl. However, this girl's attire was rather startling. She was actually wearing a Lolita skirt!?
Damn it! Is she here for a fashion show or something!?
Upon seeing this, Su Yan instantly lost any favorable impression of the girl, even though she had cute twin ponytails and wore an even cuter pair of white stockings.
