"Yuan Chenlin challenged Gao Han to a life-and-death battle under Yuan Zhe's orders. Yuan Zhe didn't want to make a big deal out of this matter. After all, it was a life-and-death battle that could result in death."

As for why he didn't want to make a big deal, Luo Xinxin didn't say.

Those are all competitions between big guys. The more little guys know, the less benefit it will get.

"But Brother Han doesn't seem to have offended Yuan Zhe. Why would he do this? I heard that Yuan Chenlin targeted Brother Han because they had a grudge in Qing City." Zhao Bin swallowed.

That's Yuan Zhe, the leader and representative figure of the first year class of the Equipment Refining Academy.

"The grudge between them is real. As for why Yuan Zhe did this, I don't know." Luo Xinxin shrugged.

The reason she knew all this was because of coincidence. At first, she didn't know that Gao Han and Yuan Chenlin had any grudges between them. She just thought that since they both had the surname Yuan, she might have something to do with Yuan Zhe. As a result, she found that Yuan Chenlin and Wei Kaiyang had frequent contact, and then she confirmed it.

"But they are really lucky. The senior grades are preparing to hold qualifying competitions in recent days, and everyone's attention is on them. Otherwise, the number of people coming to watch the game would definitely not be less than last time." Luo Xinxin sneered.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, but they all believed her.

Luo Xinxin's family also runs a weapon refining factory, but its size is not as big as that of the Yuan family. The magic weapons produced by the Yuan family account for half of the market, while the Luo family does not even have half of it.

However, it is precisely because the Yuan family almost semi-monopolizes the magic weapon market that Luo Xinxin focuses on the Yuan family.

"But what is their purpose in doing this?" Dali asked in confusion.

"Dead people, even if it's a legitimate life-and-death battle, the fewer people who see it, the better. They want to kill Brother Han here." Ma Zechao had a gloomy face.

Everyone gasped.

Zhao Bin was confused, "Is Yuan Chenlin that powerful? If someone is going to die, shouldn't it be him? What are you worried about?"

Luo Xinxin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, looking at Zhao Bin with admiration: "That's right, Yuan Chenlin is at best a little better than Chen Siqin. Although I don't know where he got the confidence to think he can beat Gao Han, this will be his most wrong decision. I really don't believe Gao Han will lose."

"Right, that's what I told you, there's no way Brother Han could lose!" Zhao Bin raised his chin proudly.

"Of course Brother Han won't lose," Ma Zechao patted his shoulder and said with a sinister smile, "The people who came today are either from Yuan Chenlin's side or Chen Siqin's fans and admirers. They all want to see Brother Han lose. This is also a chance for Brother Han to establish his authority, so that they know the consequences of going against Brother Han!"

"By the way, has anyone seen Brother Han? The game is about to start in forty minutes." Zhao Bin asked again.

Everyone shook their heads in unison and looked at Luo Xinxin.

"Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything." Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes in an unfeminine manner.

Everyone was disappointed, thinking she knew.

…

"Is Gao Han not here yet?" Yuan Chenlin arrived early in the morning. He could no longer suppress the impulse in his body. The thought that he would be able to take revenge soon made him more and more excited, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes from time to time.

The person who went out to investigate quickly came back to report, "Not here yet."

Yuan Chenlin frowned, "He didn't escape at the last minute, did he?"

I looked at Wei Kaiyang in the crowd. He was wearing a hat and his hair had changed to brown-red. If I didn't look closely, I would not be able to recognize him.

"You are not allowed to escape from a life-and-death battle," Wei Kaiyang sneered, "If he dares, he will have his reputation ruined."

Yuan Chenlin felt relieved and waited for the agreed time to arrive.

If Gao Han really didn't come, although he couldn't kill him, he could make a big fuss about it. Not only would he not lose anything, he would actually make a profit.

Gao Han naturally would not let them get their wish, and he finally walked out of the aura training room half an hour before the game started.

His aura was as restrained as ever, making it hard to tell that he had made a breakthrough.

Just half an hour ago, he officially broke through to the fifth-level superior. He instantly felt the difference between the intermediate and superior levels. All over his body, even without actively using it, he could feel a surging force in his body, ready to burst out.

Just as he was leaving, the middle-aged man at the door was shocked by him.

Gao Han has an outstanding appearance and middle-aged people will remember him at first sight.

Two and a half days ago, when he entered the spiritual energy training room, his cultivation level was the lower fifth level.

Two and a half days later, when he came out, his cultivation level had reached the fifth-level upper level.

The middle-aged man who didn't know the truth thought that it only took him two and a half days to be promoted from a subordinate to a superior.

"What a monster! His cultivation speed is like riding a rocket. Even the monster Zhongli Tingzhou can't reach that speed. Who is this person? Why haven't we heard of another monster emerging from Penglai before?"

Gao Han didn't hear what the middle-aged man was mumbling. When he rushed to the competition venue, there were less than fifteen minutes left before the life-and-death battle. Just as he was about to go in, he ran into Zhongli Tingzhou.

Gao Han asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhongli Tingzhou had a cold face and said, "I'm just passing by."

Gao Han: “…Oh.”

It was such a natural passing thing that he almost believed it.

Gao Han didn't expose him, and suggested: "Why don't we go in together and watch my game?"

Zhongli Tingzhou silently reserved, "Then let's take a look."

The tsundere look made Gao Han see similarities between him and Zhongli in black, and he smiled inwardly. He was almost addicted to acting and even believed that he and Zhongli in black were not the same person.

Drama is poisonous and contagious.

The two of them entered the competition hall together. He was the only one missing, and many people were looking towards the door.

When they saw this, everyone's jaws almost dropped to the floor.

"Fuck, I'm not dreaming, am I? Quick, quick, someone give me a hand?" Zhao Bin shouted in shock.

Ma Zechao immediately pinched him rudely, "Does it hurt?"

Zhao Bin cried out, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much, it's not a dream, Brother Han and my idol walked in together, did they know each other before?"

"Who knows." Ma Zechao also felt it was very dreamy. Zhongli Tingzhou was actually his idol, but he was not mentioned often like Zhao Bin. Of course, Brother Han was also his idol now.

As a fan, what could be more exciting than seeing two male gods standing together? He thought that this would probably never happen again in his life.

Little did they know that this was just the beginning and they would be so excited that they would become numb.

Luo Xinxin suddenly realized, "No wonder he never worries. It turns out that he has already climbed up the thickest thigh in Penglai. This is the real hidden power!"

The audience on the other side, including Wei Kaiyang, were equally surprised.

"Mr. Wei, why did Gao Han come in with Zhongli Tingzhou? Is it a coincidence?" Yuan Chenlin hurriedly asked Wei Kaiyang.

"What a coincidence! Zhongli Tingzhou has always been a loner and never pays attention to such small competitions." Wei Kaiyang was very annoyed. He didn't even find out that Gao Han was related to Zhongli Tingzhou.

"Then Zhongli Tingzhou won't help Gao Han at that time, right?" Yuan Chenlin asked worriedly.

He was not afraid that he would not win, but was worried that their plan would fail. Zhongli Tingzhou was very strong, but the Yuan family had already possessed the strength to compete with the Zhongli family.

Wei Kaiyang snorted coldly: "A life-and-death battle is not something he can intervene in whenever he wants. No one can break the rules."

In a corner that no one could see, there was another person whose eyes turned red because of this scene, and he kept making chilling and sinister laughs.

This person is Tang Yuxi, and the two people standing next to him are Tang Minghao and Tang Xinyu, who are shivering.

They were not afraid of Zhongli Tingzhou, but Tang Yuxi. Ever since Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou walked in, he had been emitting a murderous aura that seemed filled with blood. The two people who were close to him inevitably felt it, and they could not muster any resistance in their hearts.

Unlike these flowers raised in a greenhouse, Tang Yuxi's murderous aura was formed after countless killings in the disaster area. It is different from fancy moves. He can beat a hundred strong men of the same level who have not been to the disaster area for training.

Tang Xinyu stared at Gao Han, slowly clenched her fists, then unclenched them, her palms stained with blood, "Mr. Tang, Gao Han and Yuan Chenlin signed a life and death agreement. With how much Yuan Chenlin hates him, Gao Han will never leave the ring alive."

"An idiot is an idiot!" Tang Yuxi stared at Gao Han's every move with a contemptuous look.

Tang Xinyu thought he was scolding Gao Han, and was delighted, "Mr. Tang is right, Gao Han is just a self-righteous idiot..."

"The idiot I'm talking about is you." Tang Yuxi's cold and ruthless eyes fell on her, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.

The blush on Tang Xinyu's cheeks quickly faded, "Mr. Tang, I..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tang. My sister can't speak. If she makes you angry, I'll apologize to you on her behalf." Tang Minghao quickly pulled the man behind him, nodding and bowing while observing his expression. "Look, based on my understanding of Yuan Chenlin, he shouldn't fight a battle he's not sure of. Does Gao Han still have a chance of winning?"

"He's just a self-righteous idiot who is being used as a pawn." Tang Yuxi's eyes contained a hidden bloodshot.

Tang Minghao did not ask any more questions and tactfully stepped back. Tang Yuxi did not pursue the matter from last time, knowing that he had already done it for the sake of being a member of the Tang family, and he could not be so tactless again.

"Brother..." Tang Xinyu was about to speak when he glared at her immediately.

"Shut up. Just listen to what Young Master Tang says. If you do this again next time, I won't be able to save you." Tang Minghao lowered his voice and warned sternly.

Tang Xinyu was unwilling to accept the result. She didn't understand. Yuan Chenlin's strength was obviously higher than Gao Han's. Chen Siqin's loss last time should have been just an accident. Why was Tang Shao still so sure?

Tang Minghao also wanted to know why, but he knew better that now was not the time to ask. It would not be worth it to just make Young Master Tang unhappy.

Zhongli Tingzhou, who was the center of everyone's attention, sat down in a random position. No one dared to approach him within a five-meter radius, as he lived in isolation from the world.

So ten minutes before the life-and-death battle began, the school forum and many students' communicators received a message with the same content from a friend.

——Zhongli Tingzhou is in the competition hall of Building x, preparing to watch the life-and-death battle between first-year Gao Han and Yuan Chenlin. Come on everyone!

"Is this true? Even if it's a life-and-death battle, Zhongli Tingzhou isn't the type of person who would go to watch two first-year students compete. In the eyes of the big guys, what's so interesting about a life-and-death battle between first-year students?"

"Believe it or not, I'm already in the competition hall, I just don't dare to get close to the boss."

"I don't dare to get close +1. The boss exudes an awesome aura. I'm afraid I'll be crushed into pieces if I get close."

"The above person is exaggerating. I want to go and worship there right away."

"Ahhh, can someone please save a seat for me? I'll rush back to school right away!"

With less than five minutes left, people gradually took their seats in the empty auditorium and soon it was full, except for the area near Zhongli Tingzhou.

Yuan Chenlin, who wanted to keep a low profile, had a face as black as the bottom of a casserole.

He didn't dare to glare at Zhongli Tingzhou. The strong are very sensitive to gazes. If he harbored the slightest malice, he would be discovered immediately. Now he didn't dare to provoke Zhongli Tingzhou, nor did he have the qualifications, so he could only glare at Gao Han.

Suddenly he realized one thing: every time he was full of confidence and thought his plan was going to succeed, he would deal himself a blow and force him to face reality immediately.

This discovery was like a blow to the head, making Yuan Chenlin's heart uneasy. His self-confidence was half shattered and his expression was flustered. Especially when he found that he could not see through Gao Han's strength, this uneasiness immediately reached its peak.

Yuan Chenlin hurried back to the audience to find Wei Kaiyang.

"What are you doing here again?" Wei Kaiyang didn't want so many people to know that he was here. Seeing Yuan Chenlin coming to find him in public, the people around him looked over and their faces were immediately filled with displeasure.

"Mr. Wei, can you see how high Gao Han's cultivation is?" Yuan Chenlin asked nervously, not caring whether he would be scolded or not.

Wei Kaiyang was stunned for a moment. He was about to say, "Isn't he a fifth-rank subordinate?", but when he looked at Gao Han, he was stunned.

How could it be that he couldn't see through Gao Han's strength.

Yuan Chenlin had already seen the answer from his reaction, and his legs lost strength and he fell down into the audience seats.

Although Wei Kaiyang is an equipment master, he has the Wei family and the Yuan family behind him, and his cultivation has reached the upper fifth level at an early stage.

They all couldn't see through Gao Han's strength, which only meant one thing: Gao Han was the same as them, and his strength was at least at the fifth level.

It's only been two days. Why did such a big change suddenly appear in just two days?

"Cheating, he must be cheating!" Yuan Chenlin suddenly became excited.

Wei Kaiyang glanced at Yuan Chenlin, whose mentality was almost broken, and suddenly cursed. He thought that this idiot could at least be used as a chess piece, but he died before the fight even started.

Wei Kaiyang couldn't help but wonder, is this Yuan Chenlin really the young master of the Yuan family branch? Why is his mentality so fragile, even worse than a dog?

How could he know that Yuan Chenlin had been hit many times before, and this time it was a life-and-death battle. On the stage, only one person could stand in the end. If Gao Han didn't die, then he would die. Knowing that it was a dead end, any normal person would be moved.

Wei Kaiyang quickly reported the matter to Yuan Zhe, as well as Yuan Chenlin’s broken mentality.

There was no extra words said, only one concise and clear sentence.

——He must play.

Wei Kaiyang immediately understood what he meant. If Yuan Chenlin did not go on the field, he could survive, but the reputation of the Yuan family would be damaged. This idea was proposed by Yuan Zhe, so the host family would definitely blame him.

Although it is harmless, it will leave an indelible stain on Yuan Zhe, whose resume has always been perfect, so Yuan Chenlin must take the stage.

After turning off the communicator without leaving a trace, Wei Kaiyang slowly showed a smile on his face.
